THE INFLuENzA.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-There is q
good deal of talk here just now
about the prevalence of influenza ia
neighboring cities, particularly ia
Connecticut, where some alarm
exists. In Norwich, for example,
nearly oue-fourth of the people are
suffering from it, and there are re-
ports almost as woful from Minden,
Groten, Plainfield and Bridgeport.
In some places the malady is hardly
less dangerous than is the Russian
Influenza In the countries to which
it has been carried this year. Al
the port of New York there is the
utmost vigilance in guarding against
the Introduction of the epidemic
now prevalent In Mexico aud Brazil
A new and dangerous kind of la
grippe that has recently appeared
in Baltimore is declared by physi-
clans to resemble the Russian in
fluenza that has spread from Russia
to Austria and Germany with dire
ful results, and which at this time
has hosts of victims in those coun-
tries. In this country there are but
few cases just now, and the mortal
iiy statistics of last week give only
three days under the infiuer "a, or
influenza associated with other all
ments. A malignant type of small
pox Is prevalent In Quebec and
Montreal, and the state government
has taken due precautions to pre-
vent its importation. Asiatic typhus
is now ravaging one of the Russia
faniine-stricken districts, from
which thousands of immigrants are
coming every week. The quaran-
tine officers have been instructed to
exercise the greatest care in examin-
ing people from that section who
may arrive ut New York. Germany
aud Austria are considering the ad-
of establishing quaran
tine along their eastern border, fear
ing the spread westward of the
Asiauc typhus. Another disease for
which the quarantine officers are
with unusual care is
yellow fever. Several ships, recently
rom Brazil aud Mexico, have had
cases on board.

To the theatre managers of this
country is commended a new form of
chair for use in theatres, music halls,
etc, which is now being introduced into
England. This chair is already in use
in several theatres in Germany, and is
intended not only to prevent panic in
case Of fire, ETC., by enabling the audi
ence TO gain the exit doors more easily
than hitherto, but also to allow officials
of the theatres and members of the audi
enc to move with freedom from one
place to another.
For this purpose the seat and back OF
the chair are free to move, and are con
nected suitably together, 80 that by
means of a cou~nterbalance weight a
mere touch of the hand will cause the
seat and the back to move simultaneous
ly OF hinges to a vertical position, the
seat by raising and the back by lower
ing, thereby allowing free passage along
or through the tiers. The very idea of
such a device, when the absurd amount
Of inconvenience and annoyance suffered
in comparative patience by the ordinary
theatregoer is considered, raises up Wis
ions of comfort and pleasure which 1t
seems hard to believe will ever be real

chieAEo's Merry Thieves.

The Chicago hotel clerk is a man of
nerve. The other day, when an Illinois
politician was sitting on his oyercoat In
one Of the plush covered chairs at tho
Grand Pacific discussing the senatorial
outlook with an acquaintance, the polite
thief stepped upto the guest, and tapping
him gently on the shoulder said, you are
sitting on my overcoat, sir" Oh, 1 beg
your pardon" replied the guest as he
lifted himself from his garment, and,
continuing his discussion, let the fellow
walk of with a $50 ulster. The guest
told his experience to Mr.. Sam Parker,
who extended this consolation: "Oh.
that's nothing. You go back to the same
chair, and the thief will come back and
steal your Shoes"
Monday the thief of nerve entered the
writing room Of the Palmer house. A
man was sitting at the desk busily en-
gagged in writing. His new silk hat was
on the table not two inches from his ell
bow. The thief wore q black Derby,
without lining or sweatband. When
he departed he wore the guests eight
dollar silk. leaving the worn out Derby
behind. But the mar Of nerve vas not
satisfied with that. BE paid a Palmer
house messenger boy twenty-five cents
to carry this nots to his victim, "Oh,
where did you get hat HAITI" This was
the first intimation the guest had of his
loss. Not long g a guest was taking a
nap in one of the easy chairs in the ro-
tunda OF the fremont house. The thief
stepped up to him, removed his new hat
from his head, and left an old SLOUGH in
its place.-Chicago Tribune.

A man of the shabby genteel order
went into the reading room of one of the
hotels, and seating himself in an easy
chair drew a paper from his pocket. He
held the paper before him, and while his
left eye remained closed he appeared to
be reading. Time slipped by, and it was
several hours before the Waterman was
attracted to him. During the next hour
the fellow never moved, and with fear
and trembling the Waterman went to
his side.
The right eye gazed mechanically at
the paper, and, fearing that its owner
had died in that position, several of the
employees Of the hotel gathered around
him. He was given a rough shake,
which brought him to his feet, and ex-
plantations followed. The man had nc
money and did not want to walk the
street in the pelting rain. His right eye
was an altihcial me- and by holding a
paper in front of him and closing his left
optic he could sleep, while to all appear
ances he was reading Providence Tele-
gram.

A murderous melodrama held the
boards at Jacobs theatre last week.
There wa a ~sprinkling OF comedy, how
ever, through the third act on Saturday
evening that set the audience agog.
The hero Of the play had just described
to the soubrette how himself and the
boys had been down at the blacksmith's
~''shoeing" He cracked a weak
joke in explaining how the geese gath
cred round a pool OF water near the old
forge, and how the boys amused them
selves by shaking their hats at them,
shouting "Shoo, shoo!' The gallery
boys caught IN at once, and every time
the villain unfolded one Of his horrible
plots on the lives of the hero and heroine
the gods" completely drowned him out
with their shoes"
1t was at a very serious situation In
the performance. The life Of an unpro-
tected young heiress was about to be
taken by the INSCRIPTIONS scoundrel.
The sea rolled heavily and the storm
ragged iercely; while the desperate deed
awaited execution. "Hal she comes;
she'll never see him again. He was
within arms reach of her now. He held
a bloody knife in his right hand. In a
momen he would plunge it into her
body, but in the weirdest and most hair
standing tones from among the "angels"
came, 'Shoo, shoe, shooF' in rapid sue
cession.
The awful scent was broken. The viii
lain jumped three feet in the air and
forgot his lines. The heroine forgot her
self, and looked her wouldbe murderer
straight in the face with herreFat the,
thought OF q breakdown, but of course
didn't see him. Whether by an act of
providence, to save the villain from his
nervous plight, or through the effect Of
inclement weather on the electric wires,
every light in the house went out in
stantly. AfairsLwere righted after a
time.-New York Telegram.

During a dreadful storm, when the
river Tyne had flooded the country all
around, a number of people were assem-
bled, watching the huge masses Of hay
swept along in its rapid course. At
length a swan came in sight, struggling
sometimes for land and at others sailing
in its stately name along with the tor
rent. As it drew near a black spot was
observed on its snowy plumage. which
the spectators were astonished to find
was a living rat; and it is probable it
had been borne from its dwelling in
some hay rick, and, seeing tho swan,
had hastened to it for a refuge. On the
bird arriving on land the rat lesped of
its back and scampered away, but a man
having no respect for the sagacity which
the rat had displayed killed it with a
blow of his staf.-New York Mail and
Express,

A Pittsburg friend of the late Capt.
George Wallace, OF the Seventh cavalry,
thus describes that officer: He was a
magnificent man in every sense of the
word. He was 6 feet 8 inches tall, and
of athletic build. He will long be re-
membered in the Seventh as a most fear
less rider and crack shot, as well as a
charming companion. That Capt. Wal
lace died hard and fighting to the last is
shown by the latest reports from the seat
of war.
There were found lying around him
where he fell i've dead Indians, for
whom five empty chambers in his re-
volyer accounted. BE was wonderfully
expert with gun or revolver. 1 remem-
Der that on one little hunting trip we
took together in Missouri he disdained
to use a shotgun on small game, and
brought down more with his rife than
the rest of US could with our scattering
guns"

Our esteemed contemporary falls into
a vulgar error when it says that the
young lady who is to wed the Rev.
Thomas G.. Milsted is to become that
worthy gentleman's helpmeet. We OBJ
ject to the word ''helpmeet." The only
excuse for its use is its usage by and
among ignorant people.
When God saw that it was not good
for man to be alone he said, II will
make him an help meet Tor him." These
words, recurring in holy writ, have been
COMPOUNDED by the careless and the I'M
thinking, and the result is that abomina-
ton ''helpmeet."
Christ babe the Pharisees and Saddu-
Gees ''bring forth fruits meet for repent
ance." If we are ID have helpmeet, why
should we not also have fruitsmeet?
The confusion of ideas induced by the
juxtaposition of certain words is felici-
tously illustrated by the old story of the
pastor who, rising in his pulpit, said:
Brethren, / take for my text today a
part of the fifteenth verse of the thir.
tenth chapter of the gospel according to
st. Mark, 'Topknot, go downf"-Chica-

A park policeman remarked recently
that the winter has had no effect on the
pet enemy Of his comfort. "The howl
ing wind and the falling snow" he said,
have nc terrors for the venturesome
small boy. He is out here in all kinds
Of weather. As soon as a thin coating
Of ice begins to form on the lakes he
wants TO test it. he races across the
lawns, climbs trees and is up to no end
Of mischief all day long. OF course we
are constantly on the lookout to prevent
the boys from doing harm and from
coming to grief through their pranks,
but they are active and feet of foot, and
can usually get away from US. They
are like locusts. They swarm all over
the park at once and invent mischief as
easily as they breathe. The other day a
little chap who had been wandering
around finally brought up ut the menag-
erie and handed a baseball bat to Tip,
the elephant. Tip took a fancy to it, and
his keeper was nearly three hours get
ting 1t away from him. He narrowly
escaped with a whole head at hat. -

In unlacing a shoe with the present
style of hook the wearer must take the
laces entirely away from the hooks be.
fore the shoe can be removed. By a new
invention the laces on either side are run
in raised eyelets- To take the shoe of
the wearer simply pulls the top of the
shoe open without removing the laces
from the hooks. When the shoe is put
on it is securely fastened by pulling the
upper ends of the two laces. The shoe
is laced in a second. With this patent,
it is claimed, a lace shoe can be fastened
as quickly as a man can put on a Con-
gness shoe.-New York Telegram.
