Emerson's organic alton OF hurGt cork
artists gave clever performance before
large audience st Harpsr's theatre last
evening. The chief beauty of the enter.
tainment was that there was no attempt
at departure from The good old fashioned
form of minstrelsy, such as we associate
with in our boyhood days with so many
happy recollections. ] II Haverly the
veteran Snowman and king of minstreI
organizations, has the happy faculty of
combining all the best features of this
popular mode of attraction, and introduce
ing many new ones without discardlne
any of the old and original ones. This
is the rule with his present enterprise in
which Billy Emerson leads the hosts
The company is strong in all respects.
Tonight we are TO have George Stsley's
famous spectacular production, "a Royal
Pass" with a locomotive race on the
stage in full view of the audience as
sensational feature in realism. The ad-
vent of new star in q new play should
be hailed with pleasure by our thestre-
| going public, which, however loyal 10
old and favorite attractions must some
times long for something that has not
been seen before. Such an opportunity
is offered them in the advent of George
c. Staley, the German dialect comedian.
in his play. "a Royal Pass" Mr. Staley
comes to US with the highest recommen-
dations from cities where he has already
established himself as favorite. He is
said to possess sweet singing voice and
great dramatic ability united with a
pleasing and magnetic stage presence.
His support is admirable and his play an
interesting one, containing many new and
catchy songs and great deal of del Light
ful comedy. "a Royal Pass is guaran-
teed high class production in every way.
On Tuesday evening we are to have the
grand society play The Old, Old Story
the famous Lyceum theatre success. Ii
is unnecessary to say great deal in COM
mendation Of this attraction. Il is so
well known that to merely announce its
coming is sufficient to assure big house.

Where the Curfew is Still Rung.

For many century there has been
rung in the ancient city of Sandwich,
the old Clnque Port of Kent, the Curfew
bell, which marked at one period so dis
tinctive feature of English life. The
Church of st. Peter has maintained this
custom up to the present day, but ad
verse fortune now threatens to extinguish
this honored relic of past ages. A Sand
wich paper says that relations are some
what strained between the rector and the
sexton of st. Peters, and as the fund
from which the latter was paid Is now
claimed by the church wardens the sexton
Is consequently in the dilemma of having
time-honored office without any salary.
At the Easter vestry his reelection was
mooted, and he thought it very hard
and naturally too, that he should have
to work for nothing. He inquired if in
the event of his giving up the office the
rector would have power to prevent him
from carrying out his duties as ringer of
the Curfew bell, but no one could inform
him. We trust, says the Pal Mall
Budget, the rector will not allow this in
teresting custom to fall into desuetude,
and perhaps, if he be anything of an
antiquarian, he will see to its observance
himself. &.

but the ship confined to trsmble as long

for about an hour, and after the same in.

water began again. 1t was then dark,
and the sound could be plainly heard,

BLOSSOM TIME.

Spring came with tiny lances thrusting,
And earth was clad in peeping green;
In russet bark, the twigs encrusting,
Tenderest blossom points were seen;
A robin courier proclaimed good cheer;
Summer will soon arrive for am here.
And nov from cherry boughs In flower
The languid breeze arousing shakes
With every honied breath a shower
OF feather snow in drifting flakes;
-msvvneuwrn smbty smasssshysfi light.
Ah, little soul, on thy first Spring.
Enclosing merry, puzalede eyes.
Would that a fathers thought could bring
Prophettc counsel more than wise
To guide thee as fathers love would yearn,
Thou hastso much to suffer and to learnt
cannot live thy life for thee,
Myprecepts would be dull aud trite,
Barren as last years love to me
Beneath the apple blossoms white:
But in thy new horizons vaster range
Our hearts close knit shall feel no chilling
change ..t'. (.

A Pine Nut In His Lungs.

The case OF Dr Boutwell,, who died
with cork in his lungs, has been paral-
leied by an Oakland (Cal.) man, who
survived the very operation which proved
fatal to the Brooklyn preacher. Charles
Pinkham is a car driver, who, when a
lad of eleven years, in Tuolomne County,
swallowed a big pine nut. It was at a
New Yesk DINNER, and. in trying to
crush the nut, 1t slipped down his throat
and ipto HE ,wind-pipe. IT went into
the right lung, where it stuck. 1t was a
very large nut, as big as the front joint
of the little finger. Pinkham, whose
only trace of the accident is very husky
voice, in talking of his case to day said:
.EBeIy schome to dislodge the nut
was tried by FIVE doctors present. For
five dagksnothing was done to help me,
and lAsn growing weaker. Sometimes
the rfds.weuld work up into my wind
pipe and stop my breath. 1t took two
men to hold me, and they used to stand
me on my feet and slap me on the back
until it would slip back into the 1ung.-I
could breathe with my left lung. Ae
last the doctors saw I could not live
,muchlonger, and DR.. Walker determined
Ito try an operation somewhat similar to
that tried on DR.. Boutwell,. He cut into
my windpipe, down to my breastbone.
1t took two days to do it. The first day
q silver tube was set in my throat, and

for seven years did not sreak above a

voice,is little hoarse, but that is all I
have to remember my escape by. Tho
fact that the nut didn't swell is all that
saved my life. "-Globe Democrat.
