"As we are governed entirely by the diff

usual number Of meals daily, it is under
stood and agreed TO, bv and between all
the parties to this agreement. that no COM
pensstion is to be demanded for loss of

No performer, musician, or other en-
ploye will be allowed to associate with i'm
proper characters, neither will MASKING,
immodest or immoral actions be tolerated

pany any spirituous OF malt liquors.
''The loaning or borrowing of money by
any employee is positively forbidden The
rule is imperative. Usury IS q criminal
offenSe."
The last mentioned rule had to be adopted
for the protection of the improvident
against the INSCRIPTIONS who would lend
money at usurious rates and keep the Dor
rowers in state Of poverty so extreme
the management properly.
An amusing story is told OF Robinson, the
rider, and Mr.. Bailey. The latter found
that cheaper man would have answered
his purpose just as we'll in the antipodes So
be went TO Robinson and said.
Robinson. India, where We are going to
next, is terribly unhealthy country. A
man ls almost sure to catch some awful
fever, or something of that sort there"
Robinson looked Mr. Bailey straight in
the eyes as he returned coolly:
Mr.. Bailey, you can pitch your tents in
hell, but I'll ride there for $500 week"
In conclusion it is only fair to give the
managers reason for forcing one-sided
contract upon his employee 1t is this:
If the manager fails to keep his promises
he Is compelled to pay damages. for he has
property; but the actor, being irresponsible
financially, cannot be compelled TO make
amends for a breach of contract, so the
manager is forced In selt-defense to secure
himself"

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-'EThe ivory trade
shows most remarkable increase Com.
mercsal Agent Mohun writes from Congo to
the state department.. Ivory is the most
valuable article exported It all comes
from the High Congo, ;both north and south
OF the river. Steamers bring it as far as
Stanley Pool, and IRON there to Matadi
ESQ miles native carriers bring il on their
backs. have seen in one day 500 carriers
come into Matadi, each man carrying a
tusk averaging sixty-five pounds in weight,
When tusks weigh 200 pounds which not
infrequently happens, four men carry them.
Most OF the ivory now coming down is
known as dead ivory Some of the ele-
plants from which uhese tusks came were
killed 100 years ago, and the kings of viii
lagos have been storing it, placing the last
tusks brought in on top Of the pile, and
when they required some goods from the
coast traders the tusks from the bottom
layers were taken. This system has pre-
vailed for years, and it is estimated that
there is enough ivory stored in the interior
to supply the world for the next century.
ut IS estimated, but upon whose author.
ity cannot discover, that there are still at
200 900 elephants in Central Africa. The
only live or new ivory which now comes
down is that procured by hunters attached
to the different trading houses. | may add
that live ivory commands a higher price
than the dead. A state expedition visited
a native king some months ago in the in
terror. Upon leaving the commanding
officer presented the king with a uniform
coat, cooked hat and sword. The kind in
return, presented the officer with $50 tusks
Of ivory. averaging $50 pounds each, and
provided carriers to take them to the river.
These people do not recognize the value, and
laugh at the trader for buying. Some of
these kings have stockades of Ivory built
around their dwellings,"

worked with him for some time and finally
rallied him. German did not improve suf-

by those who know German to account for
the act. He is still alive.
