Strange fancies have taken hold Of
some men regarding the manner in which
their bodies were to be disposed of after
loath and tho ceremonies to be observed
Il their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles V had the
curious idea of celebrating his own fu-
neral. Shortly before his death he caused
I tomb 10 be made in the chapel Of the
monastery of Esremadura, to which he
had retired after his abdication, and on
It's completion he was carr ed to it as
though dead. Placed an q coffin and ac-
compauied by o procession, he was borne
along. while chants were sung, prayers
said and tears shed. After the solemn
farce was over he was left alone in the
chapel, where be remained a short time
before rising ont of the coffin London

A libel case somewhat similar to that
which Messrs. w. II. Smith successfully
defended the other day has just come
before one Of the correctional courts in
Paris. M. de Sesmaisons, n former min
lister plenipotentiary Of the French re-
public at Hayti, at present residing in
Paris, was annoyed at some comments
upon his conduct while in A merica that
appeared in the New York Tribune. The
article spoke vaguely Of his having ac-
quired a certain notoriety and Of his be-
ing irresponsible for his actions IN the
eye of the law.
As the New York Tribune has no prop
erty in France, NJ. de Sesmais,srs judged
It was useless to proceed against that
paper, but he decided to indict nj. Bron-
tano, the proprietor Of tie Anglo
American library in the Avenue dc
rOpera, where copies Of the offending
number were sold. The plaiui if asked
for 80, 600 francs damages.
Without admitting 80 extrs!vagant {
claim, the court condemned tie unfor
tunate news agent, who quite possibl,
cannot read English, to pay 5000 franc
to the plaintiff, as well as fine of 10

Blue Monday.

A great many people have what they
call blue Monday-that is, they do not
fell so well then as on other days Of the
week. The cause is found in overeating
on Sunday. A good dinner is provided
and eaten, and then, instead Of taking
the customary exercise, the man sits
about the house and reads or sleeps Oh
course he feels badly the next day. II
the same amount Of exercise and kind OF
diet We're taken on Sunday as all other
days, there would be no such thing as a
blue Monday.-Philadelphia Record.

"The Power of cold :,

Walter Sanford's latest scenic pro
duction "The Power of Gold" will
occupy the stage Of the Grand Opera
House next Tuesday evening, October 3
This play closely blends the theatric and
realistic; the former is evidenced IN
those wonderful canvas settings that
seem the real and genuine thing to the
auditors eye, and the realistic is reached
in the scenes of the Regents Canal, the
snowstorm st the Founding Asy lum
and the quaint and lurid sections in The
slums of Whitechapel The flavor OF the
entire play is English and the characters
are of distinct London type; yet the
adthor's deft hand has so framed every
thing that no particle of idiom is lost
the diction of the play being understand
able to all. A company OF positive merit
will interpret the drama.

There will be few dramatic product
ions seen here this season which will
equal that romance Of realism Darkest
Russia, TO be- the attraction at the
Grand Opera House next Monday even
ing, October 2. In every " ay does this
play appeal to all classes of theatre
goers The story is one Of intense in
terest, and diseloses a series of stir ing
scenes and thrilling situations. As the
title implies, the theme treats on the
dark side Of Russia life-the sphere in
which the people Of the empire move
aud live. Il depicts the masses held IN
bondage, and shows the workings Of the
merciloss laws which can condemn limo
cence to exile, or to a life Of horror in
