THE NOVELTY THEArER.
There is being presented at this house
a bill this week that brings its regular
patrons out in full force. The special
ties are varied and generally have the
stamp of merit, and are duly appreci-
ated by the audiences. Prof. Catulles's
illusion Of The Secret of Pygmalion is
much admired. This is certainly one OF
the most beautiful spectacular illusions
ever shown in this city.
EVENINGS WITH wARMAN.
. A witty, entertaining and instructive
lecturer and an enthusiastic audience
were at Y. M. G. A. hall last evening on
the occasion OF the first Evening with
Warman." The subject of the lecture
was True and False Elocution. The
speaker insists upon naturalness and
vigorously criticises the strained and
artificial elocution 30 much in vogue.
The lecture was illustrated throughout
by examples of the true and the false,
all of them interesting and many OF
them very amusing. He closed with an
earnest plea for devotion to true art
rather than catering to false public
taste.
His lecture tonight is on the Delsarte
Philosophy of Expression, and treats of
the proper cultivation of voice and

That is the story that a Chinaman
who is well informed on the doings of
his countrymen told HERALD reporter
yesterday of the murder of little Goot
Cue.
GOOT CUE.
Coroner Weldon and a jury held an.
inquest at 2 p. m. yesterday upon the
body of Goot Cue, the young Chinese
woman who was shot by her supposed
husband on Sunday night, and who died
Monday of her injuries.
A number of witnesses were examined,
including Lee Duck. keeper of Chinese
house of prostitution, Took Moy, his
wife, the arresting officers, Detective
Wallin, who took the injured woman's
statement a few hours before her death,
and DIR. Kannop, who performed an au-
topsy upon the body yesterday.
Lee Duck, of course, knew nothing,
and his so-called :wife' less about the
affair, but the evidence given by the
others, together with the statements
made by the woman before her death.
made clean case against the husband
or master, and the jury returned ver-
dict of death at the hands of Wong Ark.
He was at once turned over to the GUS
tody OF the sheriff and taken to the
county Jail, where he now lies in the
murderers' cell. Ark stoically refused
to have anything to say in regard to the
killing, but the woman's statement that
he shot her because she would not sup
ply him with money for gambling, is
taken as the only explanation for the
crime.
DR.. Ramon, who performed the au-
tOpsv on the bOdv of the woman discOy-
cred the bullet, large A calibre,
lodged in the right side of the pelvis.
The nature of the wound was such as
to cause the most severe pain, and the
woman's recovery under any circum-
stances would have been impossible.
After the inquest Wong Ark was ar
raigned before Justice Owen, and at his
own request given until the 8th of May
in which to decide whether to plead
guilty or not guilty to the charge OF
murder.

Birds Are Not Slaughtered.

A great deal of unnecessary agitation
has been excited over the barbarity of
wearing birds and birds wings on bon
nets, for it now appears that the largest
number of birds used for millinery pur-
poses are made up. A few real hum
ming birds and other small ones are
killed for the purpose, but they are ex-
ceptions to the general rule and very ex-
pensive. The feathers of the ordinary
fowl are dyed with much care, and in
order to blend the various tints in har-
monious reproduction of the read bird
each feather is stuck on separately by
skilled and clever workmen. Many Of
these strange fantastic winged creatures
are made and imported from Paris, but
the most expensive and natural come
from manufacturer in Berlin. New

An Interestinr Will Case.

An interesting case and one of peculiar
complication was disposed of by the
court in Allentown recently. When the
wife of the late Peter Maury, of West
Bethlehem, died two or three years ago.
she left will bequeathing all her prop
erty, real or personal, to her husband
and it was stipulated that after his death
the estate should revert to "our heirs, !"
to quote the language of the document.
Maury married second wife, and a
few weeks after the ceremony he was
taken sick with fever and died.
His widow brought suit against the
heirs, Frank and George Maury and
Mrs. G. Benner, for dover right in the
property, which was one-third of the
estate for life. The main question dis
cussed before the court was whether the
interest of Peter Maury in the estate
was an absolute one or life one only.
Judge Albright took the latter view of the
affair and rendered decision in favor
of the heirs, one of whom lives in Texas.
The property is valuable and is situated
in West Bethlehem. Before his death
Maury gave his wife check for $500 or
5000 which he had in bank.-Philadel-

chivalrous Devotion.

At the most extensive aquarium in
England, the Brighton Zoo, the female
lobster recently cast her shell. She
screwed herself up together on the toes
and tail and suddenly bent her body.
Snap went the shell in its center, and the
case of the back came away in one piece.
The claws were her next care, and she
worked away at them for a long time.
It was proceeding Of extreme deli
cacy, considering that all the flesh of the
great claw had to be passed through the
small base. During the operation one
claw came off altogether, and this must
have seemed to the lobster lady serious
misfortune, as it will not grow to its full
size again until the second year. The
tail and legs gave very little trouble, and
the body, when thus undressed, proved
to be of pale blue.
The shell casting over, the lobster sank
on the sand, and this action seemed
signal for the attack of every creature in
the tank.
The defenseless victim bade fair to sue
cumb to the fury of her enemies, when
the male lobster suddenly came to the
rescue. Standing over his helpless bet
ter half, he fought her assailants relent-
lessly. Day and night did he watch over
her, until her shell was sufficiently hard
ened to protect her in fighting her own
battles.
When this happy moment arrived he
deliberately picked up the old claw,
broke it in his nippers, and ate the meat.
He then dug hole in the sand, placed in
it the broken bits of shell, buried them,
and piled number of small stones above
the grave.-Youth's Companion.

A friend whom have missed for many months
Came back to me this morning. l was sure,
When first wakened, something good would
come;
The sky was full of promises. The earth
Seemed ready for what heaven might bestow,
And i, forewarned and watchful of each sign,
Was standing at my window when heard
A coming, not of footsteps, but Of wings,
And there he was, my dear red breasted friendi
Oh. how my heart and eyes went out to himl
My heart with joy, my eyes to see If he
Looked travel worn or weary with his flight;
But, with the same old jaunty air loved,
He fiuttered WEAKNESS from Off his wings,
And turned and looked inquiringly at me.
It was so sweet to welcome him once more
To know that he was faithful. and that
Might now look forward to the certainty
OF seeing all the promises fulfilled
Each leafiess tree a halo wore of green;
Already fiowery May had come, and June
Was waiting with her train DER yonder hill
saw it all, while yet the earth was bare,
Because my little friend was here and knew
1t all was coming, and would have me know.
Then he became so glad he sang, and l.
bowed my head and shed some happy tears.

Mrs. Bedle, wife of Ex-Governor Bedle,
of New Jersey, deserves high rank
among the pattern women of the land
Though beset with the cares incident to
wealth and social leadership, she finds
time for all sorts of small sweet human
kindnesses, so delicately done that their
value is trebled. Some time ago she
bought book, the authoress of which
was blind. After reading it she sent to
it's writer letter of warm thanks for
the pleasure it had given her, and took
the trouble to prick through every word
of it, SO that the blind woman might
read it with her finger tips.-Exchange.
