FIGURING ON ANOTHER MOVE.
The Ladies' Hospital Association Prepar-
pairing for an Entertainments.

parinC Tor an entertainment
The success of that star entertain
ment, readily recalled as the Kirmess,
which proved such an unqualified
success, has spurrcd the ladies'
ofe the Hospital Association on 20
new endeavors In the entertainment
line, and for some time they have been
considering an offer from the Ben Hnr
Tsbleau Company, OF Ciacinnati. an en-
tertainment which the agent claims 70
be very picturesque and taking. In
this the ladies at meeting last
evening at the Y. M. c. A. building, In
a measure agreed, but considered tho
performances more taking than the
agents percentage for operating the
same. IL is such q percentage as would
REQUIRE the ladies 70 economize TO =
nicely IN It's presentation In order
TO save pecnniaTy margin for the
Hospital fund. The ladies concluded
that the small profit likely 70 be de-
rived, and the immense ameult OF labor
required would hardly warrant the IN
dertaklng. There would be nearly i5o
participants required In Representation,
the entertainment consisting largely OF
tableaux, form OF amusement which
the ladies did not think would delight
the public for four nights running 80
we'll as something OF gayer and more
varied character.
There will probably be another meet
ing held shortly In which some other
project will be advanced.

THE WAR FEELINa MOUNTING.
Preparations Going Forward Looking te
Armament of Soldiers.


LONDON, August 25.-The report that
France and Russia had virtually agreed
that, in the event of victory over Ger
many, they would have Schleswig re-
annexed to Denmark, has caused consid-
cradle comment in Berlin, where the
war feeling has been mounting high for
some days past.
This rumor. however, has called TO
public attention other rumors OF Il SINH
lar nature regarding the Triple Alli-
ance. 1t was stated recently on high
authority at Viena, that one OF the un-
writtan agreements Of the Triple ALI
ance was, in the event Of success In a
continental war, to disable Russia for
ever by divesting the Empire OF Poland,
Finland and the Baltic provinces, and
compelling the Car to abandon St.
Petersburg for Moscow. France, at the
same time, to be compelled to give up
Nice and Corsica to Italy. These ar
rangements are understood to be merely
provisional, but the fact that they are
talked of shows the deliberate way In
which European nations are preparing
Tor the gigantic struggle.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 2S, 1S91.-Chilean
spies have been arrested here. They, 1t
is believed, were making surveys of the
harbor.
The two men were arrested on charge
OF vagrancy, which probably cannot be
sustained, as each is well supplied with
money and the possessor Of an elaborate
wardrobe.
Occasional trips that the pair made
down to the harbor, and the fact that
upon such trips they always carried Il
compass, and were frequently seer to be
making what seemed to be surreptit-
ious survey of the harbor. particularly of
that portion contiguous to the Navy Yard,
caused their action to arouse some com
ment among army and navy officers. and
1t was decided, after consultation with
the civil authorities. 10 place the strangers

vagrancy try TO force information that
will lead to uncoveriug the real object Of

The Father Must Show That He Is Fit

Mrs. Mamie Kukock made return this
sued by the Chancellor requiring her to
produce her two children, Matte, aged
thirteen years, and Hattie, aged
eleven years. About two years
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Kukoch were
divorced by the New York courts, and
the custody Of the children was awarded
to the father. He claims, however. that
the mother took the children away and
ne was unable TO find any trace of them
until recently. when he discovered them
living with their mother in Hoboken.
Lawyer Gordon read the return to the
writ, which stated that the children were
in the custody OF the mother by their own
will and consent and that the father
is not fit person to have con-
troll Of the children; that for ten years he
has contributed nothing to their support,
and that the m other is now obliged 10
work in order to support the chill
dren. Some time ago she was
obliged to have her husband arrested in
New York for non-support, and the
Judge befoIe whom the matter was
brought ordered him to pay her So per
week. Mrs. kukock also declared that
the writ was obtained by her husband in
order 10 annoy her.
Judge Puster. who appeared for
Kukock. produced an exemplitied copy of
the decree and said that the fitness of the
husband to have the custody Of the chill
dren was determined by the courts OF
New York.
Chancellor McGill said that the only
question for him 10 determine was
whether the father was a fit person TO
have the custody of the childien. and he
gave Mr.. Gordon two weeks to esta blish
