ssFantasma'' Monday.

OF the grand spectacular to be here to-
morrow evening the Boston Globe says:
There was an immense house at the
Globe theater last night, when the Han
Ions presented their famous FdntdSmd.
with numerous additions and improve,
ments. And what is FIntaSma? The
unexpected is always happening, and fun
and frolic are ever alternating with beauty
and splendor. Description is useless.
There are several grand tran formation
scenes, a large number of beautiful tab
leaux, tricks innumerable and quite a
m%enagerie of animals, including bears,
serpcnts and rabbits on land, and gigantic
crabs, Holsters and %octopuses in the sea.
Add to this the clever acting of William
Hanlon as Farmer Close the specialties
Of Rose Foster, the lie Ere trio, Mons
Louis Piggarello and Little Tootsey and
others, and the very elaborate and yet
wonderfully smooth manner in which
every thing is done, and the result is an
entertainment that pleases everybody, old
and young.

A FRIGHTFUL FATE
E. N. Shannon's Half Burned Bod,
in First Ruins.
The Awful Ending of a Four
handed Drinking Bout.
SearChers for a Lost Friend Make
an Appalling Find.

Tom Talbot's saloon, an un p~retentious
wayside resort on the Camp Carlin road
and near the fair grounds, was completely
destroyed by fire last night and there is
little doubt but that there is the half
burned remains of a human being the
debris.
Talbot and three other men, including
Shannon were in the place all evening and
were considerably the worse for liquor
as early as s o'clock.
The fire was discovered at 1890 but
the alarm was not tusnel in until after II
and the burning structure could not be
reached with water. The frame part
burned rapidly and the brick walls soon
fell.
Tom Mooney was Shannon's room
mate. He knew his friend was drinking
at Talbot's, and served in his stead IN
bringing Capt. Humphrey and family to
the show. Moneys work finished, he
started in search of Shannon and was
Joined by Tom Talbot, Jr., and John Dill
Ion. They found the three men who
were in the saloon when the fire started,
but none of them could telLwhat had be-
come of Shannon.
About l O'Clock this morning the
searchers visited the ruins and beg IN go
ing over the heap with a hoe. Where a
bed room had beef in the brick portion of
the building they were Mortified to un
cover the remains of a man. The body
could not be lifted. The head was COW
cred. but the half burned trunk and
lower extremities could be plainly seen.
Mooney said: 1T is a thousand to one
that it is Shannon's body"
A ~coroner's investigation will be com
menced this morning.
Shanuon's friends said last night that
the man was not in the habit of drinking
and for him to retire to the bed room
would be the most natsral thing in the
world. HIS s~oundness of slumber was
proverbial. Tom Talbot was somewhat
burned. Shannon was very popular with
his mates. He has saved money aud was
soon to visit his mother at Brooklyn.
Young Tom Talbot says that the over
turning Of either lamp or stove caused
the fire. The lighter was a big brass at
fair burning a gallon of oil aud there was
kept constantly a hot fire. He was at the
show, but says the men we're pretty well
primed before he left.

Too Much Food.

A physician says: "Most persons eat
four times as much as they should" The
proportion seemed pretty large, but an
eminent British physician of former
generation said almost the same thing
that one-fourth of what we eat goes to
sustain life, while three-fourths 60 to
inlperil it. Another physician wittily
remarked that most people dig their
own graves with their teeth. The foun-
dation of the habit of ver-cating is apt
to be laid in childhood and youth, since
the stomach then seems able to bear
almost anything. There would be little
danger of eating too much, if the food
were always plain and simple; in that
case, the natural appetite would bca safe
and sufficient guide. The trouble is
that the natural appetite is too often
spoiled by cakes, pies, condiments and
highly seasoned food. Another source
of dyspepsia is emotional waste OF ncrv-
Gus force. In the normal condition of
things, it is renewed as fast as it is used.
But nature makes no provision for the
immense amount expended by excessive
care, by fuss and worry, by hurry and
drive, by explosions of passion, and by
the undue cxcitcmcuts of pleasure. All
these are like a great leakage of steam.
The stomach is the first and largest
sharer in the loss. Another source is
ovcrwork of the brain. Brain-work IS
specially exhaustive of ncrvc-forcc, and
the exhaustion is greatly increased by
the fact that high intellectual activity
gathers to itself most delightful mo-
mcntum, making a few hours of high
pressure work more productive than days
of plodding. Moreover, q brain-worker
generally neglects physical exercise and
curtails sleeps. He is like the careless
engineer who, while driving at the high
est speed, fails to supply the needed
wood and water. He can not help being
a dyspcptic. Another cause, which
generally acts with all the others, is
lack of active exhilarating outdoor
exercise aud recreation. Such exercise
and recreation are absolutely essential.
It is vastly easier to prevent dyspepsia
than to cure it.

Hiram approved of this plan, though
Kitty tearfully opposed it, until he man,
aged to whisper few words, unheard
by the rest.
Then it was wonderful how her pretty
face frightened up, and how she sud-
denly changed from tears to smiles.
Hiram, having witnessed this transfor-
nation, rode away, and was at Five
Forks by eleven o'clock, in time to well
come a fine, manipulating young fcl-
low, whom he checrily addressed as
"Dave."
Squire Parsons kept his word, and by
noon the expected bridegroom had not
appeared. The old man harnessed his
wagon and started off in search of him.
But scarcely had he departed when an
other wagon drove up to the gate, and
Kitty, rushing out of the house, was re-.
ceived into Dave Cooper's eager arms,
lifted into the vehicle, and driven off be-
fore the astonished eyes of Aunt Sabina,
who stood helplessly wringing her hands
on the front ,teps.
"Well," said the squire, when on his
return he took in the whole situation,
'sit mayn't be so bad to let Kitty have
her own way, after all. Money don't
pay woman for having achicken-hearted
fool for husband, that can't tell big

Parental Affections in Eagles.

ssI see great deal of talk in the pc
pers every little while" said man who
has built many miles of railroads and
contracted for any number of big en-
gineering enterprises, ''about the foolish
ness of having the eagle as the emblem
of our country. He is represented as a
cowardly, thievish, unintelligent bird,
and any number of other fowls of the
air are put forward as candidates for the
proud position of the Nations bird.
Now am not an ornithologist, so I am
not prepared to argue over the relative
merits of the different flyers, and must
confess that the eagle is thief always
and coward very often, but that he Is
lacking in intelligence I most emphatic
ally deny. Let me tell you one little
story of him that puts him in very ia
vorable light"
The speaker was one of little party
that had just finished dinner at an up
town hotel few evenings ago, and his
companions jumped at the chance of
hearing an interesting tale over their
cigars.
"About twenty years ago." he began,
~ was engaged in building a big Western
road, and one spring day we pitched our
camp on the banks Of one of the turbu-
lent rivers of the region and settled down
for three months job on ravine
bridge. A few days later we noticed an
eagles nest perched up the bluff across
the river and the following Sunday two
of our men swan the stream during the
absence of the old birds and brought
back two vigorous eaglets with them.
"We hurriedly patched up pen OF
pine slabs for the captives, making it
about seven feet square and leaving lots
of space between the slabs on the top
and sides, so that we could have good
look at the sgualling punches of feathers.
The parent birds came back about noon,
and when they found their little ones
gone they kicked up frightful row and
| few about in search of them as if they
were distracted. When they finally dis
covered where the eaglets were they
circled around in the air over the pen,
keeping out of reach of our rifles, and
shrieked advice to their chicks about
keeping up their spunk and making
themselves comfortable as plainly as hu-
man beings could.
"Then the old birds flew away and
came back after little with two big fish
in their talons. They ciscled and circled
around over the pen, and finally let the
fish drop straight as a die right between
the slabs in the roof. They kept up this
performance every day for fortnight,
and never in all that time did they miss
hitting the pen with the fish they
dropped. Their parental affection and
intelligence so worked on us that we put
the eaglets back on the other side of the
river again, and,I tell you it was really
affecting to see the way those two old
birds hung around and caressed their Off
spring. They seemed to understand
after that that we were friendly to them,
and during the rest of the time we were
there they flew all about the camp, and
had no hesitation in coming down to pick
up the scraps of meat and fish we would
throw to them. I can't say that they
shed tears over our departure, but I will
warrant that they felt the pangs of sep
aration as kecnly as we did. ."-Ne'o York

WEALTH, FAME. LIFE. DEATH.
What is fanes

What is fame?
'Tis the sun -gleam on the mountain,
Spreading brightly ere it flies,
IT'S the bubble on the fountain.
Rising lightly ere it dies;
Or, if here and there hero
Be remembered through the years,
Yet to him the gain is zero
Death has stilled his hopes and fears.
Yet what dangers men will dare
If but only in the air
May be heard some eager mention Oh ehel
name;
Though thew hear it not themselves, tits
much the same.
What is wealth?
IT'S a rainbow still receding
As the painting fool pursues,
Or q toy that youth, unheeding,
Seeks the readiest way to lose;
But the wise man keeps due measure,
Neither ont of breath nor basei
But he, holds in trust his treasure
For tho welfare of the race.
Yet what crimes some men will dare
But to gain their slender share
In some profit, though with loss Of name or
health:
In some plunder, spent on vices or by stealth
What is life?
IT'S the earthly hour Of trial
For life that's just begun!
Wbsn the prize Of sef-denial
May be quickly lost or won;
IT'S the hour when love may bourgeon
To an everlasting fowery
Or when lusts their victims urge on
To defy immortal power.
Yet how lightly men ignore
ALI the future holds IN store.
Spending brief but golden moments all in
strife;
Or in suicidal madness grasp the knife.
What Is deaths
Past its dark, mysterious portal
Human eyes may never roam;
Yet the hopo still springs immortal
That it leads the wanderer home.
Oh, the bliss that lies before us
When the secret shall be known,
And the vast angelic chorus
Sounds the hymn before the throne!
What is fame, or wealth. or life?
Past arc praises, fortune, strife;
AL but love, that lives forever, cast beneath,
When the good and faithful servant takes
the wreath.
