Hama. the Boatmap." Tonight

Emmett, Seaman, Gardner and Others
have found profit in portrsyiug the ro-
mantle and humorous adventures of the
poor peasant in a strange country, and
Chas. Arnold, in Hans, the Boarman, -
his great English success, adds another
to the list. II is not only that he is a
really clever actor. with very prepos>
sessing appearance. but his play is
throughout so full of action, moves so
swiftly. has so many pretty songs and
clever situations woven into an easy.
natural dialogue. with a skillful com
mingling of loneliness and pathos, that
it can hardly fail to please. Pictured by
the dramatist. Clay NJ Greene, as always
child at heart, no matter how old
he grows, Hans constantly finds most
pleasure in children's society, and fOr>
gets, or has as little apprehension of, a
mans duty 10 his wife and society as the
wife in Ibsens Doll House" has of duty
to her husband, and all because of unde.
veloped and childish nature. Mr.. Ar
nold's time is mostly occupied with the
children. and little May Hannah. who
impersonates three chiidren's characters
most successfully, wins as much ap>
plause the star.
The above is an excerpt from the criti-
cism of the Chicago Times on the first
performance in this country of Charles
Arnold's great English and Australian
success. Leaving England with record
of forty.six weeks run in London, Mr..
Arnold went to Australia, where he re-
peated his English success. He is now
making his first tour in America, and will
be seen at Harpers theatre tonight.

quarters. Office blocks in the large
cities are now generally supplied will
metal mail chutes leading to the upper
floors, and in which tenants can droI
their mail and have it taken out of the
mail box on the lower floor. The mai
chute in this block will lead to the dis
tributing table in the postoffice direct
the postoffice icing located in the build
ing.
The building will be wired throughout
for electric lighting, as well as equipped
with gas pipes. 1t will be heated
throughout by steam or hot water.
The peculiar situation of this block
surrounded as it is On all sides by wide
streets and facing Market square-admits
of perfect lighting and ventilation, which
will be special features of the new struc-
ture.
The artesian well, which is to be sunk
expressly for the use of this block, is ex.
pected to yield two kinds of water. The
flow from the upper level, which is ex-
pected to be sulphur water, will be util-
lied in the barber shop under the bank.
The water from the lower flow of the
artesian we'll, which is to give an eighty
foot head, will be used throughout the
building generally and for running the
elevator Each Office is to have water.
The Few building will probably be
ready for occupancy about November 1.
Incidentally, it might be mentioned,

The Advantage o. registering.

ut is astonishing said an experienced
judge Of elections this morning, ''the
number of voters entitled to a vote. who
are SO careless in regard to registering at
the several polling places in the city
There is a constant changing from enc
ward to another, leaving their names on
the register to be carried. with notifying
the registry board, who are Obliged to
copy unless personally known to have
changed their residences. Vice versa,
those moving into new ward, do not at
tend to the matter on register days.
Next Tuesday being the last day Of regis.
terry every voter should appear in person
before the board, and see that his name is
upon the register, therefore avoiding the
necessity and delay of an affidavit on the
day of election.

Queer Things Do Come to Pass.
There is now living in Washington
married couple, Paul and Albina He'll
muth, who were born in Baden, Ger
many, February 1, 1847, within four
miles of each other. Even through their
childhood, playing in the streets OF the
same town, they were strangers to each
other. In the course of events they
came across the ocean to the land of
promise, and at different times and by
different paths they drifted to Washing
ton, where they met and loved and
welded. Upon comparing notes to take
out their marriage license they discov-
cred, to their mutual surprise and graft
ication, that they were not only natives
of the same place, but rejoiced in ex-
actly the same ages to day.
THE Queen of Portugal has been very
carefully educated. She is student Of
history, delights in mathematics, and is
clever sketcher. She speaks French,
Portuguese, English and German. She
is said to be beautiful also, and is very
popular.
THE Empress of Austria's face and
figure is surprise to those who con-
slider her sort of Amazon, having
heard so much OF her hOrSemansh1p and
being in at the death Of so many fox
hunts. Her face is exquisitely delicate
and refined and her figure is girlish and
graceful.
THE Empress Augusta, at the age Of
thirty-seven, once appeared in the uni
form of lieutenant of artillery in the
| streets of Berlin. When her husband
was about to leave for England, during
| the riots in 1S4S, she brought some
valuable documents from the Prince of
Prussia's residence into the royal
palace clad in the manner described
above. This was on the 10th of March,
and SO excellent was her disguise that
no one recognized her.
PRINCE GEORGE Of Wales has been
assigned to the ship Excellent to learn
how to shoot big guns as preliminary
to being promoted to the rank of COM
mander and being placed in charge of a
vessel. He has learned his seaman
ship easily, and even at present he is
not compelled to mess with the COM
mon lieutenants of his own rank, but
all tho arrangements Of the ship are
upset SO that he may have separate
quarters and occupy the captains cabin.

AN electric railway $50 miles long,
from Atlanta, Ca, to Savannah, has
been planned. 1t is proposed to gen
crate the electricity by utilizing power
from the currents of rivers along the
route. The scheme is likely to be tried
SEVERAL Thousand families from En-.

There will be two piers in the center of

THE throes Of inventive genius have
resulted in the birth of another scheme
for utilizing the power of Niagara. The
last project exploited contemplated
transmitting the power of the Falls to
New York City, through an electric
cable about the size Of a barrel and at q
roughly-estimated cost of $4,000, DOC

THERE are several ways to pay bills,

If your heart is larger than your head,
you injure yourself, and if your head is

LARGE numbers of Americans, espe-
cially from the Pacific coast, are now
visiting Japan. They generally remain
few months and thus acquire wide
familiarity with japanese manners and
institutions.
THE German army as whole is to be
taught singing. While this may on the
whole lend new terrors to war, some
singing makes people SO reckless Of
death that they become actually brave,
and this perhaps is at the bottom of the
Emperor's order.
ANOTHER tailless comet has been dis
