HURRAH FOR HENRY HILBERT.

HURRAH FOR HENRY HILBERT.
 Man is long-suffering animal. He has to be so if he lives any length of time. He has suffered long from the theatre hat of Woman, which seems to be constructed with the express purpose of making him suffer, and Woman's persistence in wear ing it cannot be reconciled with the kind ness which some of the poets have said is hers. For many years Man has talked about and against the big theatre hat. For many years he has twisted his neck around it. It has been attacked in the press, and, together with all theatrical abominations, it has been attacked in the pulpit. Woman's vanity has been sp- pealed to. It has been said that none but homely women wore the big hat, that none but servant girls wore it, etc. But it has withstood all assaults and will Haunt itself in the face of Man to night as suda- ciously and as exasperatingly as ever. But there is ray of hope, and we hasten to give our readers the benefit of that ray. It may be that the big hat which has out lived ridicule, appeal, censure and cursing can be annihilated by process of law. At all events, Henry Hilbert of Berwick, !, Pennsylvania, will test its legal status. He went to show which he particularly wanted to see something of in the Berwick Opera house the other eve ming. Right in front of him sat one of those large women who delight in big hats. The big hat bobbed and waved and sparkled in serene and hearty enjoyment of the show, but Mir. Hilbert didn't have any fun. He also bobbed and waved and sparkled, but it was with wrath. He
 went home mad and he got so mad by
 the next day that he sued the manager oi
 the opera house for allowing the big hat | to shut off his view of the stage after he | had paid to see the show.
 We hope that MT. Hilbert will win hii case. If he does he will be a public
 benefactor. Whatever the outcome oi his suit he deserves the commendation ot
 Man for his attack on the big theatre hat

The Epitah suited Him.

City Prosecutor Stephen A. Douglas tells this story of an experience he had in Charleston, s. O., just after the war: He used to make himself useful to the colored freedmen by writing letters for them. He was thus engaged one day when a darky came to him and said: ''Massa Douglass, I wants you to do me favah. Pse a-getting my tombstone ready afore I die, 'caze, you see, if I doan' do it doan' get no tomb stone. I just want you to write some ,scription to put on it."
 "An right, Sam, "says the lawyer; what shall sayl"

 Mir. Douglass took some paper and wrote l in large letters:

A real curiosity of literature is found in a German paper, which quotes passages from an old book by Hebrew who strove to relieve the Jews from the respon- sibility for the crucifxion. The author argued that the executioners of the Mes sish were the body guard of Pilate, which consisted of Teutons. The book is enti- tied, "Proof that Those Who Crucifed Christ were Westphalians."
