Tho Beneflt TO Mr. Stable.

The entertainment given at the Theatre
last night as q complimentary benefit TO
Mr.. William II. Stable, the competent and
popular press agent, was an artistic sue
cess, and while there was not so large an
attendance as the friends of this gentle
man hoped there would be. it was stated
that there had been a much larger sale Of
tickets than the size Of the audience
would indicate.
The programme published in Sundays
DIsPArcH was faithfully carried out with
the exception that the newspaper trio
announced TO appear could not meet
the engagement. The banio-playing or
Nr. Bacon, the solos of Messrs.
Cunningham, Branch, Ryall, and Stein,
the duet OF Messrs. Cunningham and
Branch, and the quartette Of Messrs.
Cunningham, Matthews, Galpin, and
Lohman were all good, as was the guitar
duet of Messrs. Eyensen and Stein. The
war dance Of the Sioux Indians was indeed
novel. These redskins have only been
living with civilized people about month.
The great feature Of the evening was the
biorama exhibition Of realistic views and
movable figures on a field 40 feet in diane

JOHN BULL IN CHILE.
Taking Charge Temporarily of German
Intcres;s-An Apology Forced.
tBy telegraph 20 the Dispatch.l


SAN FRsScIsco. CAL. May ia copy OF
the Chilean Times. which reached here by
the steamer San Bias. announces that by
special agreement with Germany. Great
Britain is taking German interests in Chile
under her protection until the arrival Of
three German war-ships which are now eu
route. The Times says the Warspite forced
an apology out of the insurgent man-ot-
war Blanco-Enclada Just before the
latter was sunk by the tOrpedo-boats.
The Blanco was engaged in the block
aiding OF Iquiquc, when she with
other vessels Of the blockading feet ran
out of coal. An English and German
merchantmen were lying side by side,
both cOal-ladep. The rebel feet took hold
Of them on the prptence that they were IN
range in the event Of firing and towed
them out 10 sea despite the protests OF the
captains. Out of -ange of the forts guns
the insurgents made forced purchase OF
such coal as they needed They voluntarily
paid an extravagant price for it, but never
theless the captain of the vessels reported
the matter 20 the British Admiral Hothaln,
who gave the BlancJ the option Of apollo
giZlng or fighting inside of twenty
four nOurs. II was then 1880 4. Nj. Pre-
cisely at noon the Blanco ran up the
British and German flags above the rebel
standard and fired a royal salute. The
coal would have been replaced and the
ships towed back to their former anchor
age but for the fact that most of the coal
had been burned and the two merchant
ships had no further business at Iquiuue.

Daniel NYebster's story.
detroit Free Press.I

Daniel Webster was once arguing n case
in which the validity of a will was III con-
troversy, the contest being between the
heirs Of the testator and certain church,
to which, 1t was contended, the testator,
unduly Influenced by Its clergyman, had
in his last hours devised most of his pro-
perty.
Webster claimed that the testator was
then too feeble in mind TO make valid
will. and in the course of his argument he
related this incident: A wealthy Spaniard
when on his death-bed, was visited by q
certain friar, and in solemn form was thus
interrogated:
"Is it your last will and testament that
vour estate in Andalusia shall be given to
Holy Mother Church,"
The diving man replied:
YES"
as it your last will and testament"
proceeded the friar. that your estate in
CASTLE shall be given to Holy Mother
church,"
The answer was:
YES
And thus the eager ecclesiastic went on.
until the testator's son. who was standing
by, anxious lest his dying parent should
will away his entire property, angIly in
terpOsed.
Father. is it your last will and testa-
ment that | should take your goid-headed
cane aud drive this friar out of the cham
Yes" was the still affirmative reply.

ONE BLIND ANo ONE DEAF.
a Peculiar Encounter which Was Some
what Amusing.

A peculiar as well as amusing incident
occurred at the fruit-stand which is stu
ated in tho arcade leading 70 the Union
depot the other day, says the Albany Ar
gus.
The man who guards the peanuts and
barters with travellers for gold Is stone
blind. He generally has somebody with
him. but on this particular day he was
alone.
A strange-looklng old fellow limped
along to the stand and taking out pad
aud pencil scribbled something upon 1t ard
started 10 hand IL TO the fruit-man, The
fruit-man did not seem 10 notice him, and
the old fellow jabbed his thumb in his ribs
several times to attract his attention.
Get out" howled the blind man.
Somebody take him away"
Again the old man punched him in the
ribs. and again the blind man shook him
off and howlcd.
The little old man angrily pointed to the
writing on the pad, and had just started to
punch the fruit-seller third time 70 get
his attention when hump-backed boot
black came into the arcade.
Whats the matter?" he inquired ot
the blind man.
Take him away?" said that parsonage.
The bootblack took the pad from the lit
tie old man and read I'm deaf. Give me

tract-Labor Law as Alleged
IBy telegraph 20 the DispatchI

PHILADELPHIA, May 1s.-Some weeks ago
John and James Dobson. the extensive
carpet-manufacturers Of this city, import
ed a number Of weavers from Listers
mills, Bradford, Eng. The weavers were
intended 10 be put 10 work Mt manufactu-
RING velvet in the plush department Of the
mills. The importation of the English
operatives has caused the greatest dissat-
lsfactiOn among the old hands, and this
morning when three of the imported wea-
vers and one loom-fxer began work
az the looms all the operatives in
the plush department TO the num-
Der of five hundred left their looms
and quit work. st the termination Of the
DAYS work 800 more hands employed at
various works struck out Of sympathy
with the striking plush-weavers. The
striking employees claim that the Dobsons
have violated the contrGct-labor law by
importing the weavers from England, but
the Dobsons clam their right to bring
them over under the clause in the law
which permits manufacturer to import
workingmen for the purpose of starting a
new industry.
