the unraveling of the story is ingeniously
delayed until the curtain is about to fall.
Wang is the Regent of Siam until Adtdyu.

The curtain rises with Hopper as Wang. His
purse Is empty. yet he is forced to be
magnificent. He buys white ele-

II. c. Frick Tells a New Yorker Something
About the Strike.
H. c. Frick is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
and a New York Press writer had a short talk
with him. Speaking about the troubles at the
coke works Mr.. Frick said: The strikes are
virtually over. We can get all the meu to work
that we want We have not taken on all we
can work because we naturally prefer to have
our old men to come back. Our trouble in the
past has been in listening 10 outsiders
and treating, with self appointed leaders
who were not our employees. Now we will
treat with none but our own employees. There
have been men from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
iustrumentalin in bringing about this strike and
leaders In 1t. They went around among our
workmen and made them think we had hoofs
ana horns. As our men did not send any OF
their own number to confer with us, they took
the misrepresentation of these selfish leaders
from outside as gospel truth.
"The outsiders want the strike prolonged. be-
cause it means employment and money making
for them, and they do no. care how much
misery 1t means for the strikers. We will have
nothing to do with the outsiders, but propose
to get closer to the, men who work for us,if
possible, so that they may know that we are
trying 10 do we'll by them. and SO that we may
know when they are being well done by

ExAM1NATIoN by an expert of the bogus

it is made Of rye or wheat -four. peas beans,
little sugar and flavorIng and coloring matter,
and perhaps slight admixture of pulverized

invention is practically the same as the devices
with which the poor and economical people
used to try to cajolc their appetites for the gen.
uine article in war times. 1t will probably

THE order of the new Mayor of Chicago
to shut up all gambling establishments there Is
the subject of general praise by Republican
organs. The action is good one, and deserves
praise as far as it goes: but inasmuch Us it is
the regular thing for mayors of that bustling
city to inaugurate their administrations by is
suing fiat against the gamblers, the effect

THE Fort Worth Gazette does not
like McGrath's announcement that,
unless the southern alliances come
into the third party movement, the
northern alliances will return to the
republican party. The Gazette says
that the alliances agreed that the re-
forms needed could best be secured
by acting with the democratic party.
This will be news to the alliances of
Kansas and Iowa and Nebraska and
Minnesota and Dakota, and several
other states in which the alliance
members are generally republican. 1t
is well, however, to be informed of
the facts, and as the Gazette may be
accepted as democratic authority as
to what the democracy intend, the re-
publican end of the alliance can see
the situation and govern itself &C
cordingly. The Gazette cannot count
the republican farmers vote into the
democratic party as easily as it can
claim it on paper, however, and this
fact will be fully apparent in 1892.

"One can cut glass with scissors as
easily as though it were an autumn
leaf. The entire secret consists in
plunging the pane of glass into tub
of..water, submerging also the hands
and the scissors. The scissors
will cut in straight lines
without q flaw. This result is
achieved in consequence of the alb

ton of the scissors Is left out Of the
