SARAH BERNmARDr AND HER SNAKE.
The Little Reptile is Sensational, but
it Makes tho Play ridiculous.

think that the performer in "Clco-
patra," next to Sarah Bcrnhardt herself,
who attracts the most attention, is un-
doubtcdly the serpent. His actions have
certainly the attraction of the unforeseen.
Philippe GARNER and Mile Fleur and the
rest of the actors and actresses have not
only the words that they are to say set
down for them, but their gestures and
movements and stage business are all care
fully regulated and rehearsed beforehand
But his snakeship is always indulging in
wild and wonderful gyrations, neither set
down in the Ms. of Sardou nor prescribed
by the stage manager OF the Porte 81.
M0rtin, SO his appearance, when Cleopatra
first draws him forth from the conical-
shaped basket in which he lies concealed
all through the commencement of the
fifth act, is always anXioilsly anticipated,
and causes thrill of interest 10 perva1e
the audience.
The other evening lie positively refused
to be incarccrated in the pocket cunningly
arranged in the breast of Samh's tunic to
contain him, but wriggling forth, heal
foremost, he encircled the actress neck
with his green, shiny length. Sarah tried
very hard to persuade him to enter his
usual prison, but in vain, so she was
obliged to go through her death scene
adorned With that strange necklace, ana
| clutching tight to the reptiles slippery tail
to prevent his getting away altogether.
When she was called out at the close of
the drama she came forth still holding on
to her asp and with it still coilcd around
her throat
On another occasion his conduct wss
even more trying lie wound not be per-
suaded to enter the pocket at all, though
| Sarah, rendered wise by previous expert
ence, tried to put him in head foremost.
He resisted all her efforts, the long, supple
green coils writhing and wriggling over
the front of her white robes in the liveli-
| est possible fashion. Whereupon the gall
lery gods waxed hilarious, and set up the
traditional air of Les Lampions, TO the
| words, "Entrera-Entrera pas? (Will he
| go in--won't he go in p stamping their
| feet in cadence. The wrath of Sarah can
better be imagined than described, par
! ticularly when one spectator, more auda-
| cious than the rest, cried out, 'See here,
| Sarah, your snake is running away. Send
| him back to the stable F" Altogether the
| live serpent, though very good advcr-
| tisement, Is serious bleinish on the ar
| tistic qualities of Cieopdtrd's death scene,
| which should have been pathetic and
poetic merely, but which is by that ad-
| junct, rendered sensational and at times
| ridiculous.

CHRISTMAS EVE.

Mr.. CuTcHEoN of Michigan does not
improve his case by recent attempts at
explanation. lie is reported in the io1
of this morning us insisting on the truth
of his assertion that there Is more wine
drinking in Washington than in any other
city in the country. 'Idonot," he added,
"mtan that this is true as regards the
permanent population here, but it is true
with reference to the foreigners, the otli-
cials and the class of people who figure in
society, etc, etc.
The honorable gentleman seems TO labor
under one of two misapprehensions'
Either he thinks that the permanent
residents of Washington do not figure in
society," or he thinks that the foreigners
and officials and those who, according to
his innocent philosophy, do Figure in
society constitute the population of this
city. II is not violently important TO
know which Of these two propositions
forms the basis of Mr.. CuroHEoEs hy-
pothesis. In either case he is wildly
and extravagantly wrong. He evil

What time the roses blow,

When the moons of harvest glow.

To keep the world from harms

LIVELY CONTROVERSY.
A Little Congressional Difficulty Which
May End in "A Duel.

MAY Enu III II Dutl.
speciaI telegram TO the Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, June ga very lively
and exciting controversy occurred on the
floor of the House this morning between
two Southerners, which may eventually
end i'm a recourse TO the code duello. Mr..
Enloe. a tall, gaunt Representative from
the mountains of Tennessee, shook his inst
at Hemphill, an impetuous tierysCongress-
man from South Carolina. Both men ex-
changed some ugly cross words before
friends could interfere and smother the
difficulty.
Enloe had raised an objection to the ap-
proval of the journal, and Hemphlil, who
has charge of the Democratic endof the
Election bill and was anxious to proceed
with its consideration, interfered and asked
Enloe to withdraw his objection and let the
debate proceed. Enloe grew angry at
Hemphill's interference and requested him
to mind his own business, when Hemphlli
flared up and told Enloe to go to that torrid
and popular summer resort to which BOD
Ingersoll has devoted so much attention.
Enloe then shook his big brown Tennessee
fist at the angry Carolinan and init
mated that if he wished TO be salted
down like Tennessee pork, all he had to do
was to walk out of the building. He then
moved out to the cloak room, seized his
sombrero and left the hall. Hemphlll, who
is man of undaunted courage, and who
has figured more than once on the field OF
honor. was anxious to follow Enloe, but
was persuaded by his friends TO deslst.
Enloe has not been seen since he left the
capitol. but the probabilities are that a
challenge will pass before night unless he
takes an ice bath.

THE HOT WAVE.
TIE CAUSE OF THE ABNORMAL CONDITION
OF THE WEATHER.
Signal Office officials Say it is on Account Of the
Uniform High Pressure in the Gulf Region.
Some Statistics Compared to
Those Of Last Year.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-At noon to-day
the Signal ONCE furnished the following
special weather bulletin to the press;
The present period of continued high
temperature in the Middle Mississippi Val
lev is unprecedented for June. Beginning
with June 20, when the temperature was 10
degrees above the normal or usual height,
it has gradually risen till the Goth and 9th
to nearly 20 degrees above.
The maximum temperatures for the past
eight days have exceeded the highest ever
known for an equal period in June, and
have averaged as follows: viz: Cairo and
Springfield, H., 93 degrees; Keokuk, a.,
and st. Louis, 95 degrees.
Following are some maximum tempera-
lures, with their relation TO the
HIGHEST EVER RECORDED
by the Signal Service in June viz: Daven-
port, 9S degrees on the 25th and 26th, de-
grees above; Keokuk, % degrees on the
26th and 9th, > degrees above; Springfield,
Ill. 96 degrees on the 25th and 21th, > de-
grees above; Cairo, 96 degrees on the 26th
and 9th, degrees above.
The cause for this abnormal condition
has been the uniform high pressure in the
Gulf region, with an almost stationary low
pressure area in the Northwest. This dis
tribution of the atmosphere has caused a
steady flow of warm, dry air to the north
ward. The inflow of air has been too slow
to induce rainfall, and the consequent clear
sky has been favorable to extreme radia-
ton from the sun, which has raised the
temperature steadily without the usual re-
lief from the passage of storms across the
country. Somewhat similar conditions
prevailed over
THE EASTERN PORTION
of the United States in May, 1881, and in
the Middle Mississippi Valley in June OF
1884 and 1857 1t is no indication of a
change in climate.
A relief from these conditions may be ex-
pected by Sunday night
Unusually high temperatures have also
occurred during the past week in the South
Atlantic States. The maximum tempera-
ture at Wilmington on Friday was 100 de-
grees, which was one degree higher than
ever before recorded in June.
