The Residents 81 Mott Street. New York.
Are Mech Excited.
From the New York sun.
Great preparations are being made In
Mott street and much money 10 being
put up by all kinds Of Cinnamon for the
purpose Of building q real Chinese thea
ter. The large brick tenement house, five
stories high, at u Pell street. has been
leased for 10years by q stock company of
well-todo Cinnamon at $500 q year. The
company Is having the building torn
down, and In It's place will build q %
and attractive Chinese music hall or the
ater.
Ung Swoy, n lne-looking young China
man OF IL Pell street, seems TO be at the
head OF this new enterprise. The work Of
tearing down the building began yester-
day morning. When IL is completed Chi
nese masons and carpenters will begin
erecting the new building. The company
hopes 10 he able to open the New theater
about the beginning or middle of August.
The stranded Chinese actors are once
more hopeful and manipulated their
o~pium-cooking apparatus with bland
smiles upon their yellow faces when n re-
porter called. They told him that they
were already booked for the season, be-
l, 1891.
There will be a little Chinese house ON
top OF the new theater for the actors to
live in, and il Is also understood
that a regular Chinese lunch coun-
ter, with bird's-nest soup mt all
hours of the night, will he built in the
audience room of the theatre to keep the
audience supplied with their regular meals
without losing any part of the play. as
they would otherwise be obliged to do on
account Of the length of the plays.
The principal objection to the American
playhouses, the Chinese actors say, was
the extraordinary short time allowed for
each performance. While at the Wind
sor the Chinese company could only get
from . p. m. TO l o'clock the next MORN
ing. No flrst-class Chinese actor would
be able In so short a time to show his
audience his true genius. At the new
Chinese theatre Mr.. All Clan, the Chinese
female im~personator, says he will have
an opportunity To show what he can do
by producing his "Lee Xiii Han Ken Mo
Leon Yu KEN IA Yon San Neon" in full.
IL will begin on August l and end about
II middle Of September.

INTERESTING CULLINGS.


Usss Of Compressed AIR.
Every one who has visited Paris in
recent years must have noticed at the
corner of the streets, in the rooms Of
the principal hotels and public build
ings, the pneumatic clock. In the
apartment in which they are placed
you do not hear the usual ticking of
the clock, but q sound sharp and clear,
which is repeated each minute. The
mechanism is extremely simple, the
important part being q small cylinder,
furnished with piston, Joined to q
small flexible metallic tube and q sys-
tenn of pipes connecting with these in
the street. Each minute q wave cir
culates through the whole system of
pipes, making q progressive move
ment on the face of all the clocks.
The installation of these clocks has
been largely facilitated by the exist
ence of the sewers in which the pipes
are placed. According to English
ideas, these sewers should be rather
called subways, as they are spacious,
high and furnished with sidewalks, so
that q man can walk in them with
ease.
The compressed air is supplied as
power to thirteen sewing machine
shops, four ice making establish
ments, thirty-nine turner's, each TAX
ing about two horse power, sixteen
printing houses requiring about forty
three horse power, thirty-five wood
working factories taking seventy horse
power and to eighty-six various in
dustries.
Paris offers specially good field for
this system, as the police regulations
do not allow boilers above the base
ment floor, and there are many indus
tries requiring small power which
could not economically employ sepa-
rate steam engines and boilers. The
gas engines offer many advantages to
the small manufacturers, but when
gas is as dear as it is in Paris it Is not
economical.
These facts explain the great sue
cess of compressed air power in Paris,
and in less than two years its progress
has been enormous. In the liner
val between Oct. 81 and Dec. 20, of
last year, seventy-eight horse power
additional has been supplied TO mo-
tive force, and for electric lighhng,
264 horse power.-Engineering and

The Alcazar Company.

The MascOtte as presented by the AL
cazar Opera Company last night is a
charming opera, interspersed with sweet
singing and genuine bursts of humor
that makes the opera very entertaining
throughout.
The charming Miss Agnes Sherwood,
as the Mascotte, fascinates everybody,
aud her acting is perfect in the role of
turkey keeper. Julia Christen, as Prin-
cess Fiametta, is equally as beautiful
and charming as the star in the play,
and their singing was loudly encored
several times.
Prince Lorenzo and Farmer Rocco
were both we'll represented, and the
humOr in these characters was fully
brought out by Messrs. Sykes and Dean.
Russell Childs, the lover Of the Mas
cote, has fine voice and plays the part
well. The parts were all strong, and
each actor III the company is good
artist. Tue costumes of the company
are decidedly the finest of any company
that has been this way for some time.

Great Legal Contest.
Montreal Daily Star.

The Montreal courts promise TO wit
ness shortly great legal fight over the
will of the late Hon. Deus Benjamin
Viger, who died in this city some TWEEN
ty years since. leaving the bulk OF his
estate, valued at hundreds Of thou
sauds of dollars, to his law partner, the
late Mr.. C. S. Cherrier, Q. c., the doyen
of the Bar at the time OF his death. The
late Mr. Viger, who WAS ONE of the Strik-
ing figures in the political and social
life Of the last generation, was a man
who held very high position in the
esteem of his fellow citizens, largely
due to his public spirited views. He
was always in the lead in anything
which might benefit the city and Que OF
his legacies to it has since become the
Vieer Gardens. He bad no brothers at
the time of his death. but he had a
large number of other relatives who, it
would appear, were ignored in his last
will, much to their disappointment.
SOME INEFFECTUAL STEPS
were taken at tue time to recover the
property, but for want of concerted ac-
ton and the existence of his testament
nothing came of it, and Mr.. Cherrier re-
maiued the undlsputed possessor. A
large area of the property lay on the
east side OF ST. Denis street from La
gauchetiere up TO beyond Sherhrooke.
That portion lying between Lagauche-
there and St. Catherine has only lately
been sold in lots by the Misses Cher
rier. Mr.. Cherrier himself always op-
posed the sale Of this property during
his life time for reasons best known to
himself. The prime mover in the ac-
tion now about to he taken TO recover
the property is cousin of the late Mr..
Viger, Mr.. j. B. Viger. residing at
Washington, La, and conference be-
tween the heirs as well from the United
States as from Montreal and the neigh
horhood, is to be held here about the
2oth lost. to decide.upon concerted ac-
tinn. Some of the heirs claim that Mr..
Vigar made second will, which will
now he invoked. Friends of the Cher
rier is,aily think that the heirs of the
