before much damage was done.
Complaint is made that during the
plcnicing season great damage is
done by different parties at Hobart's

ing the privilege of using the null as
a picnicing place should do as little
damage as possible.

A Hint to Hotel Keepers.

Detroit Free Press.
The gentleman from the West pulled
himself up to the hotel table, tucked his
napkin under his chin. picked up the
bill of fare and began to study it in
tently. Everything was in restaurant
French, and he didn't like it.
'Here, waiter" he said, sternly,
"there's nothing on this / want"
'.Ain't there nothn' else you would
like for dinner, sir?' inquired the waiter
politely.
"Have you got any sine qua nor?'
The waiter gasped.

"Got any soiree dansants?"

The waiter was edging off.

'We hain't, sir"
"Got any pluribus unum?h
The walters face showed some signs
of intelligence.

he rushed to the kitchen only to return

tone of disappointment.
"GOt any NAL de mer?"

The waiter was going to pieces fast.
"Well. may be you've got some bacon

Something About the "Scinda

Something About the "Scinda
Band' and Its Curious Cere-
monies.
St Louis Republic.
An Old negro woman has established
a new theocracy at Grenada, Miss, SEN
Scinda and her followers are called
"Sclnda band" They number about
four hundred. Scinda is their queen
and rules her flock with an iron rod.
They use no Bible at their meet
ingS. for each member IS supposed
TO know it by heart, If Scinda asks
them biblical question they are sup
posed to have an answer at once. They
have their meetings every Sunday
evening, and they are interesting to OBJ
serve. The congregation, men and
women, is decked out in costly ribbons
and beads. Their cll,ntS are as weird
as the sobs and signs of graveyard
trees. They dance to the music OF the
banjo and tamDourine until they are
nearly exhausted, and then they go
home. Scinda is Democrat, and COM
pelS each male member to vote that
ticket. She insists that they shall be
cleanly in person, and pay their debts.
No merchant in Grenada county will
refuse credit to member of her band,
for if they were to fail to pay 1t, Scinda
would "dance their souls into hell" as
she calls it. Mel j. Cheatham. the only
white man ever executed i'll MISSISSIPPI,
WAS hanged for numbering one of
Scindas members about three years
ago.

CELEBRATING YULETIDE.
The "Boo' Gang Precipitates a
Fight in Labor Temple.


Fight in Labor Temple.
There was dance in Labor temple
Saturday night which did not conclude
until 2o'clock yesterday morning. Then
it terminated in free-forall fight,
which was precipitated by several OF the
human leeches known as members of
the ''Boo' gang. These human leeches
had been celebrating the anniver-
Sary OF the evening previous to
the finding of the Child in the
manger, hy indulging in Intoxicating
drinks. They indulged too heavily, and
when they came to The dance they were
spelling for fight. They began Oper-
ations by insulting several young ladies.
and one of them, with more vim and
spirit" than the rest, resented the in
suits. She picked up a glass and
hurled it at one of the ''BoOS," striking
him full upon the nose.
The "Buo'S" nose was cut and his
thick blood spurted out upon the
floor. This made him mad AMI before
the dancers were aware of it, they were
mixed up in red-hot fight. Both men
and women took part in this memOr-
able Christmas fight. Blood was spilled
without stint and at the sight Of
it several women tainted. Patrolmen
Henry Brudgan and several of his
brother officers swoOped down upon the
dance and drove everybody from the
hall. Several people were injured in
the melee, but none seriously. The
young lady who threw the glass and cut
the Boo" Ill the nose is named Mamie

JUPITER" In ECLIPSn.
Hard Shot at Digby Bell Because
of Its Failure.

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-The career Of
another star comedian was interrupted
tonight. when the scenery and costumes
of the Dgby Bell Opera company,
which has been giving Jupiter" at
Hooley's theater,we attached by j. III.
Roman to satisfy claim of $1,000.
The company was OH the eve OF de-
parture for series of one-night stands
when the sheriff seized the prop
critics. While Digby Bell has
played to two profitable engagements
in Boston and Chicago the company. it
is said, has steadily lost money since
the opening in New York last spring.
The reason for the failure to attract
sufficient business to make the venture
a success Is attributed by competent
theater managers to the failure OF the
star Of the company to hold the atten-
ton of the theatrical public. The New
York theatrical critics praised the piece
and said with some other popular actor
in the title role Jupiter" would have
proved Il great success.

Detroit Free Press.
The amethystine lines of evening were
growing into darker puppies, and the
puppies into black.
On the little vine-clad porch of the
old house the two sat silent, and they
had been sitting since the sun had
thrown it's first long farewell shadows
across the fields.
What thoughts were in their minds no
look OF motion of theirs betrayed.
They were as silent as the stars, which
one by one began to peep above the
dark line of the hills.
Here and there cricket chirped it's
vesper hymn. and in the old tree be-
yond the road roosting fowl at inter-
walls croaked c0ntentedly.
1t was time when hearts may beat
in sympathy and souls in wOrldleSS
measures make music to each other. {
At such an hour Peace spreads her
gentle wings and all the turmOils of the
world run 10 her shielding breast and
sink to sleep. 6
Softly the man put out his hand and
touched his companion on the arm.
The touch was light, but it was
enough.
"What is it?" came the gentle query
in response.
The man moved his chair little
closer.
Jim" he said, 'can you give me a
chaW of terbackel?"
And the other man, in the soft, sweet
hush of the evening time, went down
into his pocket for his plug.

ANIUSEMENTS.

"Kidnaped," new sensational melo-
drama. played to two large houses at
the Bijou yesterday. "Kidnaped" is
correctly billed as sensational melo-
drama. 1t is as melodramatic in char
acters, language, and action as the most
morbid or uncultivated taste could
desire, and as sensational as plen-
itude of harraSSed conStancy, falsely
accused innocence. double-distilled and
concentrated villainy, abnormal de-
tective instincts and unnecessary hero
ism can make it. The sensationaliSm is
heightened by the introduction of
pair of coal black horses, q
close carriage and pocket edition patrol
wagon. The plot aud situations are as
eXtravagantly impossible as the plots
and situations Of these everyday mod
ern melodramas always are. The con-
struction of the piece is, however,
predecessors OF like order
at the Bijou. The action is
spirited throughout. A refreshing alb
sence Of long, stereotyped speeches and
SOiloquieS is also noticeable. 1t will
stir the pulses OF the people who like
this sort of melodrama. The company
is unusually good. Scenically. 10 fault
can be found with the production.
There will be popular priced ladies
and children's matinee at the Bijou,
Notwithstanding the previous announce
ments that evening prices would pre-
vail.
Friends" highly praised as strong
comedy-drama, will open weeks en-
gagement at the Grand with a matinee
today.

LOST IN THE SHUFFLE.
The Argentine Commissioners on
the Brazilian Boundary.

the Brazilian Boundary.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Some specu-
lation is going OF in official circles over
the whereabouts of the commissioners
of the Argentine Republic appointed to
represent that country tn the matter of
the settlement of the mission and bound
ary, which is in controversy with Brazil.
The Brazilian commissioners have ar
rived in New York, and are awaiting
the appearance of the Argentine dele
CATION, which had been expected for
some time. News of their having left
Buenos Ayres reached the United States
some time ago, and it is supposed they
are spending the holiday season i'll
Europe. When they chine arrangements
will be made for presenting the merits
of the controversy to the president OF
the United States, 10 whom the two
countries have referred it for decision.
This case is the direct outgrOWth OF ses-
sions of the Pan-American congress of
1SS9-90. After that body edopted reso-
lutiOnS in favor Of compulsory arbtra-
tion as an eXpedient in averting war,
Brazil was almost the first state TO act
upon the high moral policy which had
of the Brazilian republic was followed
by an era of good feeling. President
FeodOraS and Minister of Public
Affairs Racajuve went to MontevdeO
and BuenoS AyreS OH mission or
peace, and while the convention which
he made was subsequently condemned
by the Brazilian congress-, the question
has been finally submitted to the presi-
dent of the United States for arbitra
ton. A memorial of a former exercise
of similar offices existed III the opposite
quarter of Paraguay, where one of the
new cities is named Villa Hayes, in
honor OF the American president, who
acted as arbitrator in dividing the Gran
Chaco between disputing powers. His
successor now has the responsible office
of adjudging national titles to the work
ing field Of the heroic Jesnits and the
battle grounds of one of the strangest
wars in history.
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-12-26

wife of the MOhammedan shereef of
WaZzan. in Morocco, the Christian and
Western-bOrn inmates of the harem
have entered the latter voluntarily and
have of their OVID free will abandoned
civilization. The shah of Persia. for in
stance. has in his harem at least two
Austrian women. both of whom he in
duced, when last at Vienna, to accom-
pany him back to Teheran. and who
have never since been heard of by
either relatives or friends at home.
lsinail Pasha, too. the ex-khedive of
Egypt, had likewise several French.
Italian and English women in his Sc
raglio.
The English inmates were, as rule,
members Of the lowest grade of society,
and distinguished only for their beauty
OF face and figure, and were source OF
considerable trouble to the khediye.
Another involuntary inmate of an
Oriental seragliO is the Belgian wife of
the Turkish sultan. Her name is Flora
Collin. AS child she was employed in
the coal mine near Mons. Her health
having been impaired by the terrible
atmosphere of the mine, so me charitable
person took pity on her and sent her to
Paris, where she was placed as appren-
tlce in one of the great dressmaking
establishments. Being clever and in
telligent girl. she gradually became one
of the most valued employees of the
house. and at the same time developed
into remarkably beautiful woman.
Among the numerous patrons of the
house was the mother of the present
sultan, lady of much refinement for
harem-bOrn and bred woman, and who.
like most of the ladies of her rank and
station, had all her toilets made in
Paris. On one occasion Mile. Collin
was sent to ConStantinople with some
marvellous laceS, which the dame in
question had ordered, and which she
wished to have altered. if necessary, by
PariSian artistic before her eyes. From
that time forth Flora Collin never re-
turned to Paris, and i'm short letter
which she wrote to her employer few
weeks after her arriy0l at ConStanti-
nOple she merely stated that, having
found some profitable employment in
the Turkish capital she had decided TO
remain there.
1t was not until three years ago. when
the death or wealthy uncle in Belgium
caused her to be advertised for in the
European press as his principal legatee,
that she vouchsafed TO notify the Bel
gian Legations at Brussels of the fact that
she had been married for some sixteen
or seventeen years to the Sultan Abdul
Hamid, who had fallen in love at first
sight with the beautiful mOdiste who
had come to fit on his mothers dress. L
need hardly say that she notified the
Belgian legation that she formally re-
nOunced all claim to her uncle'S inherit
ance in favor OF her family i'll Belgium.
