a During a crowd the other day avery
solid man was pushing his way through
the mass of humanity, when he en-
countered pale, thin young man with
the look of consumptive. The big man
did not swerve hair, and the thin
young mans elbow, which was held out
at an angle, took him in the left side.
The big man gave gasp, followed by a
curse, and nearly lost his balance, while
the other passed on as cool as ice. He
had turned aside to gaze into window
when the big man came up and said:

Emma Eames, Lasalle, the French tenor,

ceive about $500 a performance. Nine.
Albani's voice will be bought at 5000 per-
formHnce and five other singers Will MARBLE
for from 500 TO $500 each a night. The
chorus Of eighty people will cost 81, 600 a
week and the orchestra will play for 50 900
week. With such a salary list it will be
next 10 impossible for Mr.. Abbey to give a
single performance at an expense of less
than 5000 The magnificent perform
ances of German opera at the Metropolitan
opera house in New York last season were
cheap in comparison-they cost about
s., GOO each
The season of this remarkable company
began in Chicago with the price of par
quette seats placed at five dollars. Even
with such prices in vogue it does not seem
likely that Mr. Abbey will make a fortune
ont of the venture.
The appearance of the Ravogli sisters
has been eagerly looked forward to by
American music lovers. Mile. Giulia is
contraltO and Mile. Sofia sings soprano.
Giulia is the elder and is said to be bet
ter singer and handSomer than her sister;
but they both have very beautiful Ital-
ian faces. They were born in Rome and
have been singing in Europe since 1881.
They have heretofore always sung to-
gether, but they will be unable TO carry
this arrangement out in America.

! source OF revenue to that government
| The riches from these nitrates was so cas-
| lily available that the other industries in
| Peru-mining and agriculture-weren neg
| lected, and the people deteriorated in pro-
| portion as their necessity to labor do
creased. Until Chill took these nitrate
beds there had been no serious internal
dissensions in that country for more than
half century.
! Balmaceda's desire to make himself the
| absolute ruler was probably not entirely
uninAuerced by wish to control these
great sources of wealth. At the present
! time they are controlled by an English
( syndicate, at the head of which is York
shireman, Colonel North, who is some
times spoken of as the Nitrate King"
This circumstance has led some Americans,
and very probably many Chilians, to be-
lieve that in case of war England would
take sides with Chill. 1t may not be, in
deed, that the possession of these nitrate
beds is an unmixed blessing to Chilli. They
ruined Peru, and If their ownership en-
courages Chill in going into an unequal
war, that little republic will have cause to
regret ever having taken them away from
the Peruvians.
tween the two countries, Ex-Governor Os-
borne, Of Kansas, who was the United States
minister at Santiago during President
Hayes administration, has said that owing
TO the temperament of the Gillian people,
that in case of conflict it would take a
hundred years after its termination to re-
store amicable relations between the two
countries. Illustrating this idea he said
that the Gillian authorities had always re-
fused to have taken from the walls Of the
custom house at Valparaiso the cannon
balls imbedded there by Spanish feet
more than twenty-five years ago. Instead
CT removing these scars, they are suffered
to remain as a constant reminder TO the
people that the hatred for Spain should
never decrease.
There is a large foreign element in Chilli.
The Germans are the most numerous, bat

A Summer "Reminiscences.
Especial Correspondence

! SUMMIT, n. j., Nov. 16-I camped out
for some time last summer at Dingman's
Ferry, Pa, and while there my friend and
myself aimed to see all that was of inter-
| est in the surrounding country.
| Of course we went down to the back
woods village on Saturday night, as that
was the time to see it in all its bowling
! glory. To compare Monday night, for
instance. to a Saturday night in that
settlement would not be more absurd
than to compare that favorlte BROOKLYN

on the tavern stoop making weather pre-
dictious based upon certain movements O.
the ground hog, occasionally blowing q
mouthful of smoke into the air, and ex-
changing ideas with the diguitary who was
at once the barber. the dentist and the I'M
dertaker of the village. The negro over
whose sable brow about ninety-eight sum-
mers bad lightly passed sat in an old arm
chair, holding a cane in each hand and
talking about his rheumatism. Hecouldn't
move without the aid of these canes ex-
cept when invited TO partake of spirituous
refreshment. AT such time he would
forget his rheumatism and canes, and
reach the bar as though on wings.
While watching the movements of these
people a lantern was seen down the road
in front of another tavern. There seemed
to be great deal of excitement in that
particular region. and we moved in its d.
rection. Upon our arrival we were treated
to an exhibition of boxing by native tai
ent that was highly interesting to those
bystanders that were blessed with a mod
crate sense of humor. One of the boxers
always made it point to jump when hit
or struck at. He never failed TO do this,
aud it SO disturbed the patience and peace
OF mind OF several amateurs present that
they couldn't refrain from making IN
pleasant criticisms on his style.
The man that held the lantern had about
the hardest time of it, because he was so

An inventive genius of North Dakota
has just patented device for making a
fire break to fight prairie fires with. 1t
is sheet iron continuance five feet wide
and seven feet long and about two feet
high. On top Of it are three circular reser-
voirs for holding gasoline. Underneath
is arranged series of burners designed
to set fire to the grass as the machine
passes over it. The main part of the ap-
paratus is followed by a sheet iron trailer
in three sections, each FIVE by seven feet
While the first two of these are pass
ing over the grass it is supposed to be
we'll consumed. and the final trailer is
designed to extinguish every particle of
Gre. The invention Is awakening much
interest among the ranchmen, many of
whom believe the machine will prove
lmpracticable because it will not securely
conine the fire and it will thereby cause
serious confagrations. The inventor
claims it will safely burn strip five
feet wide and twenty-five miles long in
one day. -Four horses will be required
TO draw the apparatus.-New York Tele-
gram.

And throwing my dark habiliments

As though some defaclng disease had
swept over her at my words and look, so
her beauty suddenly vanished. Her
face became drawn and pinched
and almost old, - her lips turn
cd blue, her eyes grew glazed,
and strained themselves from their
sockets to stare at me; her very hands
looked thin and ghost-like as she
raised them upwards with frantic, ap.
pealinR gesture; there was o sort Of
gasping rattle in her throat rs she drew
herself away from me with convulsive
gesture of aversion, and crouched on the
floor as though she sought to sink
through It and thus avoid my gaze.

large, terrified eyes wandered to mine

der. She attempted to rise from her
crouching position; approached.
and assisted her to do so with
ceremonious pollteness She trem-
bled violently at my touch, and
slowly staggering to her feet she pushed
back her hair from her forehead and re-
garded me fixedly, with o searching, an.
guished look, first OF doubt, then OF
dread, and lastly Of convinced and hope
less certainty, for she suddenly covered
her eyes with her hands as though to
shut out some repulsive object, and
broke into o low wailing sound like that
OF one In bitter physical pain. ] laughed

cried. "'Tis true have somewhat al.
