DoNning Yesterday; Alabama To night.

Mr.. Robert Downing and Miss Eugenia
Blair appeared at the Academy of Music
yesterday afternoon and last night-giv-
ing at the first performance 'Ingomar,"
and at the latter Richard, the Lion
Hearted" each time before fairly good
audiences. Both OF these plays are we'll
known in Richmond. and their reception
showed that that the good impressions
heretofore created were stu fresh in the
minds OF theatre-goers Mr.. Downing
has fine stage presence and his acting
is Of that manly. robust style that al
ways takes we'll Miss Blair is not only
a fine actress but she has the good for
tune to be very pretty. Her impersOna-
tions are true to nature and her sweet,
womanly style IS very effective. The
companv suporting these artists IS good.
In Alabama" which will be presented
at the Academy of Music tonight, Mr.
Augustus Thomas has told n simple story
OF the South. The clash of arms, the pa
geant of war have no place In his work;
they are heard only as an echo; seen Dut
by reflection. He presents study OF
Southern life and character which Is al
together charming. He has given the
stage q genuine novelty and gem, free
from even a trace Of the sensational;
the North a vivid picture OF that South
which the North has rarely known. and
the South an unvarnlshed picture OF IT.

A REMARKABLY. Rae. of People.

In Sumatra there Is very singular race
OF human beings called the kubus. They
are the most timid aud hashful people in
the world, being too shy to mingle with
the other races Of the island. They dwell
in the darkest reccsses Of the mountain
forests and have seldom been seen by white
men One has never been known to
willingly face stranger This being the
case their trade with the Malayans Is car
ried on in n very strange way. The trader
announces his arrival by beating a gong
and then retires from the place Of renlez
vous. The shy kubus then approach, put
their forest treasures on the ground, beat
the traders gong and retreat. The trader
then returns and lays his commodities
down in quantities sufficient To pay the
purchase price OF the goods on sale.
lie then disappears for a second time
this 10 give the Kubus a chance To return
and consider the bargain. After many
Withdrawals, approaches, gong beating,
etc, an understanding is arrived at and
each party carries away his bargain. This
remarkable race know nothing OF su
preme being. heaven. hell or evil demons
They have no system OF marriage and
never bury their dead. They live ON snakes
ants. bugs gruhs, etc.-St. Louis Republic

Catching Hsas.

ITO catch boa constructor is q diff
cult and dangerous task" says a man
who makes it his business to capture
wild animals and reptiles for menagerie
purposes. 1T is accomplished by laby-
rinthian tangle, embracing sixty square
feet Of ground. The labyrinth is made
by joining together, end on end, pieces
of mating. This web is eight feet high
usually, and placed so that the opposing
walls will be two feet apart. All sorts
of crisscross and diverging combinations
are made with the matting-it is sup
ported here and there by stakes-making,
when it is set, geometrical puzzle that
might well challenge the ingenuity of
man.
'The trap is baited with live pig,
which is placed in pen in the corner of
the labyrinth. By and by along comes
the boa constructor. 1t is easy enough
TO get in. He scents the prey; he il
very hungry; the pig is deyoured, and
here the boa comes to grief. For hours
he tries to release himself. but finally
he grows tired and stretches himself out
for nap. Then is our time. We open
the labyrinth and catch him. Golden
DAYS.

The tutelar deity OF cats was Diana,
and according TO Plutarch the cat was
not only sacred to the moon, but was an
emblem of it. Hence cats were treated
with peculiar consideration in the land

regarded AS a great family misfortune.
Egyptian cat funerals were celebrated

The capsizing of a vessel tied up to a
pier is common enough in the Bay OF
Fundy and its tributary streams. The
usual rise and fall of the tide along that
bay is from forty to fifty feet. and high
tides sometimes exceed sixty feet. With
the fall Of the tide all craft are left
high, but by no means dry, with an area
of chocolate colored mnd all about them.
This mud is too shifting to hold yes
sci in safety, SO each pier is provided
with one or more strong wood frames
called shoes, fixed at the bottom of the
stream or bay.
Upon these shoes all vessels rest at
low tide. 1t frequently happens, how
ever, that vessel does not get her shoe

Ma Joyiess Rice In the smoker with Az
Ungratefai JerssymAn.
When Colonel Graham, OF Posey
county, Ind, left town for Trenton yes.
terday he put in his pocket two Of the
best imported cigars that he could buy.
The colonel is q confirmed cigarette
smoker, but he always carries cigars for
self protection when he travels. Since
he left Posey county he has developed
discriminating nose for tobacco. A
rank cigar makes him more pdevish
than knees" in his trousers. There are
few smokers of bad cigars who wi II not
throw away half burned stump tp ac-
cept one Of the colonel's good cigars,
with the graceful apology that always
goes with it.
"Why, do you know" said Colonel
Graham the other day, "there are no
cigars in Indiana so rank as those that
are smoked in New Jersey. They are
the brand that will kiln vegetation, and
always carry a cigar or two to give
away on the smoking car. Why. it's
enough to make a man fretful."
Colonel Graham's seat in the smoker
was shared yesterday by a man with no
taste in tobacco. He shifted contemptu-
ously at the colonel's cigarette, and
pulled contentedly at very bad cigar
with a dark, shiny wrapper. Colonel
Graham was growing seasick. He threw
away his cigarette, and drawing Cigar
from his pocket said to the man beside
him:
Pardon me, sir, but may trouble
you for lightl'
'Sure, Nike" replied the man, and he
handed Colonel Graham cigar that
had just been lighted. Colonel Ora
ham carefully lighted his own cigar,
and with apparent absentminded ness
tossed the other ont of the window.
"well, I'll be-
"No, don't" interrupted Colonel Ora
ham, Il really wasn't thinking what
was doing. Please accept one of my
cigars and permit me to offer an apol-
ogy. am very northumberland time ;"
The man looked at the cigar the dolo-
mel gave him and said:
Looks pretty good. Better'n mine,
guess. pay three dollars hundred
for mine"
THAT cigar cost twenty-five dollars q
hundred, and is pretty fair, think, !"
replied the colonel.
HIM" said the man as he bit the
end off Then he leaned over and said:
Evil you give me a light now"
Colonel Graham offered his cigar.
The man lighted his own from it with
chuckles of satisfaction. Then he leaned
back comfortably and tossed Colonel
Graham's cigar out of the window.
"Why, YOU
Don't" said the man. when think
of the tariff ON cigars go into "A tran ice,
and I'm not responsible for what do.
Let me offer you one Of my cigars" and
he pulled out one of the three dollar a
, hundred brand and handed it to Colonel
. Graham.

"Now, don't, say" interrupted the
, man. This is my station, but you can
, get light from the man in front Much

he was off the car.

I York last night and announced that hi:
system was shattered. Hereafter b,
