Polk and Simpson, The continent is
too small for their assumption of educating

instruct Wall street, Threadneedle street,
the Paris bourse and every exchange of

Gould, Huntington, and the first magnates
of England and the continent, they are, in
their own estimation, qualified to give
instruction on railroad construction

country and the world that these people do
not know the rudiments Of the business in
which they have achieved their successes.

I'm tired of doing as / am told;

And make me vance more boy,
With sun-burned wedge down the spine of m,

While whoop with the hoi polloi
Oh, me swallytail hurts me under the arms.
And me patent feathers are hot and tight:
For Loo Loo McCallister's lost his charms
And I'm homesick and weary tonight
l sigh for the song of the katydid
When me heart was alive with joy,
When bathed me feet in the long, wet grass
And belonged to the hoi polloi
I want to get shet of me manicure sett,
And dig in the dirt and the dew
want to eat onions, and then forget
All the whole world, me darlin', but you

want to forget the days, you bet,
Since we shook the hoi polloi.

LOOK OUT FOR STORMS.
A Letter From A. j. De Voc, the Hack
ensack Weather Prophet.
HAcKENsAcK, n. J., May 80, 1891.

HAcKENsAcK, n. j., May 80, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: One year ago published an
article in the American Farm Nelrs of Ohio, in
which gave the farmers of the Western states
notice that they should prepare for foods dur
ing this coming month of June and July. These
floods have already commenced, and the indica-
tions are that they win increase. Most people
have an idea that each locality has peculiar laws
OF its own which control the weather OF that
locality. But my observations have convinced
me that there is one universal natural law
which. controls and directs the progress of
storms throughout the world But the opera
ton OF this law is either modified or intensified
by the local surroundings OF any section Of coun-
try. During the past year I have predicted
many important storms for every part of the
United States east of the Rocky mountains
specifying localities where they would be the
most severe, and in nearly every instance the
storms came within forty-eight hours of the
date stated and gave notice month ahead
And now desire to extend my calculations be-
yond the Rocky mountains, and If Lean obtain
the direction in which the invisible
storm belt is drifting then I can
give your readers some important points
BY invisible storm belt mean this: There are
times when, without any warning a great fall
OF water descends, it is called a cloudburst But
do not believe that there ever was q cloud
burst 1t is simply sudden collection of water
which the atmosphere is not able to hold in
suspension, such as occurred at Boise City,
Idaho, on May "a last. The natural forces
which produced that sudden fail of water are
invisible, but they are still floating in the at.
mosphere, and they will again concentrate their
emergencies, and cause q violent wind and rain
storm on the 10th day OF June, and az near as
can calculate, it will occur near the central
part of Oregon do not claim to be infallible
Isimply apply natural laws as see them in OBJ
Grafton At any rate hone your readers viii
observe the weather closely from the 18th to the
Odd of June next, as unusual storms will visit
the northwestern corner OF the United States
near the Pacific coast. If have placed the
location correctly then will be able to give
your shipping merchants some important
points. A. J. DE Voc,

GOOD WORK.

Some days ago fight was advertised
between half-grown bear and a bull dog.
The bears feet, it was specified, were to be
in mittens and the fight to be ito fin
ish'-that is, till one or the other of the
combatants was killed. This advertise
ment came to the notice of the president of
the Humane Society and he promptly took
measures to prevent the proposed combat.
This he has succeeded in doing. Officers of
the city, county and state have been
aroused TO sense Of their authority
and duty, and will see to it that the fight
shall not take place.

severe that it contracted the muscles of

Good Hands.

That is good hand which knows
how to give heartily and freely.
That is good hand which is put out
to help some one who has fallen by
the wayside.
That is good hand which knows
how to make pain easier and head
aches vanish.
That is a good hand which help:
along the sick and the weak, the help
less and the poor.
That is good hand which is put out
to help you or me as we walk along in
life; when we feel we need some one
to protect us.
That is a good hand which never
wrote anything of which it was asham
ed, and which never put its hand tC
fraud and dishonesty.
That is a good hand which does it,
work, whatever it may be, wherever i
may lie, it doth not grow weary, and i
doeth its work so it is worth its wage.

New YORK, October 27.-"Thermi-
dor" is a beautiful French play, written
nv nv fellow dramatiSt, Victorien Sar-
dou. the author of "Fedors" and other
melodramatic, tragic and highly whoop-
ing plays.
Illustrations of direct and diagonal con-
trast in dramatic treatment than that OF
Mr.. Sardou and my own.
'eThermidor' is 2 play that covers but
one day. This offers no opportunity Tor
children to grow up or sixty day notes
10 come to maturity. 1t Is very ousy
day, however, being one or those Gays
during the Reign OF Terror when the
mighty meet ak Of that mercuriai people
had so much TO do.
The motif of the play is the discovery
by the sans cllOtteS OF young woman
who is evidently child OF arlstotratic
birth. That was her ofenSe. 1t was
enough in those days. II had lived in
those times l would have returned TO my
early methods and eaten my pie with
nv knife. That way only safety seemed
10 lie. 70 De an aristocrat or the chlld
of an aristOcrat at that time was most
unhealthy thing 10 do.
This young lady is Faoie1ne Lecoul-
teux. The part is played by Miss DE
Wolfe, who certainly earns her salary,
being pulled around over the stage by
her lover or the sans cltlOttc, cGnGttte
and rqzzIe-dazzle OF the highly sensitive
and explosive French nation sac seems
10 be in An almost constant scuthe with
some one while asking all hands TO be
kind enough TO avsunt,
No one in the audience weeps. The
heart is not touched. You watch the
spectator during the entire play and you
see no tear-only the wild, frightened,
apprehensiye eye Of one who has Just
lighted a 1Oinch cannon frecraker ana
is waiting for it TO bust.
Martial Hugon Is the lover OF this girl,
and although she is very fond or MIN,
she is almost sure that it Is not right,
for she has associated herself with the
Ursuline Sisters, thinking him dead. SO
she is all torn UP in her mind, and when
at the end Of the play she was lead away
to be behesded could sec that she was
really glad OF it.
In Sardou's work, The whole play and
all its characters cluster about the gull
lotine in the last act. In mine they
gather about q watermelon.
How different the motivei How dla-
metrically and totally different the
method and the motif!

mate OF Martial, and be gives his atten-
tion entirely 10 saving the life Of the I'M
fortunate Fabienne, but fails after all,

MASONRY.

On Monday evening goodly number
of valiant Knights of the Temple, repre-
sented by Wheeling Commandery, No.
/, and Cyrene Commandery, No. 2, came
together in answer to the good Ward
ems call. The call was not made in vain.
for the Knights appeared in full armor
early and fully prepared to meet the
foe, which they did valiantly under the
command of Eminent Sir Corn,
who, by mis- efficient and effective war
fare, captured the enemy and van
ouished the foe, who were afterwards
taught the beautiful lessons to be found
in the orders of the Red Cross, Temple
and Malta, and which should make them
thereafter true soldiers Of the Cross and
followers Of Prince Emmanuel. After
the work was finished banquet was
discussed at Hotel VanKeuren, which
was held in honor of Sir Baird, who has
been residing the past year or so in this
city, erecting the magnificent bridges
that now span the Ohio, who was about
TO leave for southern city.
On Tuesday Bates Lodge met and
worked the Entered Apprentice degree

Fabieune concludes at last that her
love fer Martial is wicked, as it gives
her delight and takes her attention away
from her devotiOnS. She finally, there
fore, decides TO go to the beheading
works so that she may love him in
heaven alone. He does not like this,
preferring to love her Ia both places,
both here and hereafter.
n great many people are that way. 1t
may be wrong in some respects, but /
favor that method myself.
LaOuSSiere'S occupation, of course,
horriheS both Fabienne and Martial
when they know of it, for all the ''doc-
ketS," or, as we would say, indictments,
pass through his hands, but when they
learn that he loses good many of them
ever and anon they are more reconciled.
LabuSSiere'S is first rate character well
played. SO is that Of Martial. This
character is taken by Mr. Robertson, an
EngliShman, who passed very pleasant
evening short time ago by my side at
the Lambs dinner in New York. He is
an EngiiShman who has enthusiasm even
for American institutions. Every one
IN the audience liked him very much.
Fabienne waSnot so successful. She
was playing on5 Of the strongest emo
tional parts ever created, no doubt. but
she did not seem to quite save her pedro
during the play, if may be permitted
TO make use Of such word to aid me in
dealing with dramatic subject.
She certainly took sufficient exercise
during the play, but she didn't enlist
the sympathy Of capital during the Job.
1t Is true she has most difficult part.
To portray the violent and conflicting
emotions of love for devoted and brave
fellow like Martial; to show the dread
and horror Of death so disgraceful as
that of public execution, together with
the workings OF the abnormal growth
which she Is using as a conscience aud
the violent hand TO hand conflict be-
tween her love for Martial and her de-
votion to the rules of her church, all re-
quire wonderful skill and power, so it
Is not surprising that Miss De Wolf,
whose neutrality-suspicious. is that
