The burlesque of Carmen quitb captured
the large audience at Ming's la vt evening,
1t is inRenionsly constructed ANIL the dia.
logue is crisp and bright throughout. The
plot mounts to nothing though it is sup
posed to follow that of Bizet's b ~eautiful
opera. If the similarity could ne,t be dis
covered at times it did not concern The au-
dience. The entertainments was f,arn ished
in a way that drew forth unlimited 9std de-
serving applause.
The performance was exceedingly Scl ever.
Many features new to Helena were GA tro-
duced while the action was spirite a. and
without intermission except on two Of yea
sions when the stage management w.SlI at
fault. The specialties which seemed to
please the audience most were Mr.. Dyll, hl's
magnificent toreador song; his uniaue .Mnd
impressive rendition of the gaming sons aN,d
Miss Corinne's dancing. There were OIL hr
clever specialties including Mr.. Fostelltt's
female approximations and the grand marcA.
Corinne is a Iretty girl and a dainty and
pleasing burlesque artist. Her Spanish
dances in imitation of Carmencita were the ,
apparently very difficult and all of her work
showed the results of long and careful
study.
Mr.. Dyllyn was a handsome and manly
toreador and Miss Crawford was a shapely |
soldier boy. The chorus effects were very
good. b costulning was of unusual
brilliance and there seemed to be nothing
lacking in the discipline and movement.
Moeover the singing was much better than
is usually found in b%urlesque plays. Cor
inne will be again presented this evening.

GLADSTONE DRAWN OUT.
HIS VIEW OF THEoSoPHY SUCCINCTLY
SET FORTH BY HIN.

In Reply to q Request for Information He
Says Theosophy Is a Rehgion-Little
Satisfaction to Be Secured From 1t or
SpirituaIism.
IBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcH.l
LONDON, Sept. 19.-The Theosophist
controversy, which Madame Annie Besant's
conversion and her letters from the
Mathams of Thibet have brought promi-
nently before the British public, has been
augmented this week by contribution
from Gladstone. A Mr.. Booth, who
founded a workmen's debating club, in which
religious discussions are prohibited, wrote
to Gladstone to ask him whether he con-
sidered theosophy to come under the head
of religion, and if not is there anything in
1t worth a workingman's study To this
Gladstone replied:
In my answer to your interesting letter, I
must be very succinct. think am also
impartial. as do not adoDt the language of
determined disbelief in all manifestations
real or supposed from the other world
which is the habit of many. They give me
little satisfaction, but that does not warrant
meeting them with q black negative. can
not conceive how either Spirftism DIETER
so called than spiritualisml or Theosophy
can with consistency be debated in societies
Ot moIhlHRuIen OF IN any oGner sOcletles,
which exclude all subjects calculated to lead
to religious discussion.
Spiritism and Theosophy, as understand
the matter, deal with the facts and phenom-
ena of the other world as much as the
Christian creeds Every Christian, in their
clubs, were Theosophy discussed, would
properly claim to apply to it, so far as re-
quisite, the laws of Christian belief. Its in
production must, think, be the precursor
both OF strife and of conflict.
Whether or not this pronunciamento Is
the result of an artful trap on the part of
the Theosophists to draw Gladstone into the
discussion does not yet appear.

He Is Not Inclined to Benefit Russia by
Going to War With China
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, Sept. 19.-fhe few newspaper
men here who have any means of knowing
things which pass behind the scenes at the
Foreign Office state that the permanent
officers" of the department, who exercise
great influence over the actual minister, are
of the opinion that the anti-foreign agita-
tion in China has been considerably exag-
gerated by interested senders of cablegrams
to the London press, and that the Chinese
Government is doing its best in very diff
cult circumstances. Lord Salisbury, it is
known, is not disposed to take any steps
which might have to be supported by acts
leading to war, from which Russia would be
the chief gamer.
A big Russo Chinese war is only ques-
tion of time, and France is watching for a
chance of making important frontier "recti-
fications" at the expense of China, without
paying too great price for them in blood
and money. tits pretty certain, therefore,
that any naval demonstration by the Euro
pean powers will be of harmless spectacular
character, which will not seriously alarm
the young Chinese Emperor and his astute
advisers.

cabled week ago to-day respecting the
Home Secretary's intention in respect to
Austin Bidwell has been since officially
confirmed by Mr.. Matthews himself, who
has written letter to Mrs. Mott, Bidwell's
sister, informing her that the convict will
be set at liberty in January next. The let
ter was dated from Wortley Hall, Sheffield,
the beautiful Yorkshire seat of Lord
Wharncliffe, whose guest Mr.. Matthews
has been during the week and who has
shown considerable interest in Bidwell's
fate.
Mrs. Mott, who has patiently worked 1or
years past to secure her brothers release, is
not without hope that he may be set at lib
erty in time to join family reunion in
America at Christmas. She expresses fer
vent gratitude to Lady Henry Somerset,
Mr.. Causton, NJ P, Mrs. and MISS Abbott

Dinsmore, countrywoman, all of whom
have greatly helped her in the work to
which she has devoted her time and money.

A Confidential Clerk Has Been Embezzling
the Greater Part of the Time.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. ia $4,000 en-
bezzlement which occurred during the 1S
years ending last December is published to-
day for the first time. Charles Miller was
the trusted clerk of G. T. Dealing, lead
ing book dealer, for nearly 20 years. Last
July Dealing sold out his business to the
Baptist Book Concern, then just organized.
Dealing took $40. 900 of stock in the Book
Concern and remained as manager. Miller
bought So 600 worth of the stock, and with
nearly all the other clerks remained under
the new management.
In a short time President Harvey sus-
pected thieving was going on, and in Decem-
Der set trap. Miller was caught clearly
and confessed. He had taken in the 13 years
preceding S25, 900 of his employers money.
He was careful, steady man, with wife
and two children, connected with some of
the best families in the city. He dressed
plainly, never was known to drink or spend
money freely in any way. On account of
bis family the matter was suppressed at the
time, but became public to-day.

Row in a Church Over Yellow Sunday
School Pupils and Their Instructors.
NEW YORK, Sept 1a-[SpeciaL There
is big split in the Trinity Baptist Church
over the Chinese question. The sessions
of the Chinese school of Trinity Church are
held in the basement every Sunday. Each
class consists of one Chinaman, with an
American girl to teach him. Now there is
faction which wants the class disbanded
entirely and which includes the older men,
bers of the church, who think they see an
evil in the church, which did not exist
before the Chinese came.
They don't think it exactly the proper
thing for the young ladies to be run to pic
mics and excursions with their yellow
pupils, and some have come to the con-
clusion that it is not religion
that the Cinnamon come to the
church after but two or three hours in the
company of the pretty teachers. Now
rumors are flying around to the effect that
one of the teachers is engaged to be married
to her pupil, and that one other is seriously
contemplating an engagement

diately sent friend with challenge, so
that all necessary arrangements might be
made without delay.
The weapons chosen were swords and a
dining room was chosen as the place of
meeting.
The word was given and the two gentle
men set to and fought with desperation and
earnestness. General Gaudolf was soon
slightly wounded, but his injury was not
sufficient to put an end to the fight. FL
nally Signor Franchetti made a sudden rush
at his adversary, and was only stopped from
inflcting possibly fatal wound by the fact
that in attempting to parry the thrust, the
Generals sword struck him on the forehead
and made a scalp wound. Blood flowed
freely and soon streamed over his face so
that the services of physicians had to be
called in. They examined the cut and de-
clared the wound was of such nature as to
prevent any further fighting.

A SKULL COLLECTION
Suggested as a Great Means Of Re-
form For Criminals of To-Day.
THE STUDY OF CRANIOSCOPY
Believed to Be Greater Deterrent From
Evil Practices Than
THE sCAFFOLD WHICH Is PLAYED OUT

A human skull, the property Of Colonel
ID. Moore, but at present grinning in Attor-
ney John Marron's Office, is supposed by
some people to be that of Ortwein, the mur-
derer of the Hamnett family, of Homestead.
1t is not, however. but is that of some un-
fortunate who hadn't influence sufficient in
life to save his remains from the dissectinp
knife. But the presence of that skull has
suggested to some people the advisability
of a collection of skulls and embalmed
bodies of murderers to be placed in "cham-
Der OF horrors" in the county jail, and in
full view Of "Murderers' Row" It is be-
ieved that its inspection would be more
deterrent that the exhibition of q scafold,
which, since ''hanging's played out" in Al
legheny county, has been shorn of its ter
rors to great extent.
To illustrate the hardness of the way of
the transgressor quite a number of memen-
toes might be placed on exhibition. The
body of Martha Grinder was as hard as ada
mant when buried, and in the interests of
reform Messrs. Devore and Calhoun might
be induced to exhume it. 1t isn't beyond
finding, like the body of Moses. Then, the
body of Green, the fratricide, If put into
the chamber might have wholesome effect
on the colored population. Ortwein's skull
is somewhere in Sewickley.
PROPOSED SCHOOL OF CRANIoscoPY.
MI. Marion states that when Marshall
Swartzwelder's effects were sold the skull
of the Homestead monster was knocked
down to some Sewickleyan for trihe, and
1t doubtless could be recovered for a small
sum, and in the interest of science the
owner might donate it. But reformatories
seldom reform, and as the aroma
of the penitentiary is usually
SO strong about criminal as to prevent his
having company in the straight and narrow
path, and, as Solomon's admonition to
train up child in the way he should go and
when he is old he will not depart from it."
seems to have no potency in modern life, it
Is numerously suggested that future efforts
along the line of morality should be in the
nature of prevention rather than cure It is
therefore recommended that schools of
cranioscopy be established in every county
to teach all who have the handling of in
fants how to do it, and it is claimed such
schools might effect more than all the moral
training contained in all the moral treatises
on moral and mental science combined. It is
proverbial that preachers families have con-
tributed the most accomplished toughs and
swindlers of modern times, and yet the sup
position is that they are trained up in the
way they should go, though some suppose
that the excess of training usually produces
a revulsion.
But in all seriousness the idea Is
advanced that a careful study OF cranioscopy
might IN course of a few generations elm
mate savagery from the human race-after
the counteracting effect of atavism. is over
come.

LONDON, Sept 19.-Politicians are be-
ginning to return from their holidays on the
Continent in order to prepare for the ora
torical campaign, which in some parts of
the country will commence next week It
is already evident that there will be be-
tween now and Christmas more speech
making than in any Parliamentary recess
since that which preceded the famous gen.
eral election in 1880 in which Gladstone
routed the Tories and returned to West
minister triumphant Liberal majority.
This time Gladstone will be unable to
take prominent part in the struggle, and
Sir Andrew Clarke, his medical adviser and
friend, has consented only with the great
est reluctance to the Grand Old Mans at
tendance at the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Liberal Federation, which will open
at Newcastle on September 80. Mr.. Glad
stone, however, will not arrive at New
castle until Friday, October 9, and he has
promised to connne his speech that evening
to period of one hour
1t must be recorded here that politicians
with sporting procliv1ties are already lay
ing odds that the Grand Old Mans speech
will last more than the allotted hour, and
some have sufficient faith in his irrepress-
ible enthusiasm and physical vigor to bet
that he will make the average number of
railroad station speeches on his way to and
from Newcastle. Unexpected encourage
ment has been given to these irreverent
spectators by the announcement that Mrs.
Gladstone will not accompany her husband
from Scotland to Newcastle, having prom
ised to preside in the latter place on Thurs
day at the meeting of the Woman's Liberal
Federation.
Among other Liberal leaders who are to
speak at Newcastle are John Morley and
Sir William Harcourt, both of whom have
very full programme for she recess. 1t is
stated, by the way, that Mr.. Gladstone has
been closely following the reports in the
British and American newspapers respect
ing the effects of the Mckinley tariff on
trade. If this statement be well founded,
the result of Mr.. Gladstone's observations
will probably be embodied in the speech
he is to deliver in the Town Hall at New
castle in acknowledgment of the conferment
upon him of the freedom of that city.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The latest scheme for
checkmating the evil designs of Major Nc
Kinley and other conspirators against Eng
lands commercial welfare is explained as
follows by its promoters:
We propose to form a British Imperial
Patriotic League, its objects to be the en-
couragement of British industries, the pro-
lection OF British labor and generally to
assist in the maintenance and developments
OF British trade and commerce in every
quarter of the globe. We intend to impress
upon the British public, by means OF leo
lures, demonstrations, distribution of liter
ature and various other methods, the neces-
sity of consuming, as far as possible, the
products Of British industry in preference
70 the goods OF foreign origin, and to make
the signing OF a pledge to that effect the
sine qua non of membership of the league.
1t should be added that there is no cause
yet for Americans to get excited about the
British Imperial Patriotic League. Its
promoters are few Tory workingmen, and
it is still in the throes of parturition.
