tue OF the nature of the char
acters and their successful impersonation,
among the most striking features of the
play. The btst humorous hit of the even
ing was the very realistic failure Of "Pep-
per" to manipulate his ''gun" in the mock
battle. The work of Mr.. Irwin was . most
natural and perfect reproduction of the at.
titudes and expressions of real life. Todd
and Lathe a. pirates carried parts which
required few words, but their movements
and costumes made their work very effec-
tive. The sentimental gem of the drama
was pleasingly presented by Mr.. Williams
and Miss Johns. Miss Lathe was pecu-
liarly successful in her part. The parts
by Miss Lewis and Miss Lathrum were
well performed. and last but not least in
the entertainment was the music of
Messrs. Sam Hyde. John Williams and

New York, Nov 2S.-At yesterdays
meeting of the Union Pacific railway
reorganization committee it was set
tied that the reorganization must In
clude the whole Union Pacific system.
One of the subcommittee said this
morning: II violate no confidence nv
saying that the full committee practi-
cally agreed that any plan of reorgan-
lzation, to be successful, must COM
prise the entire Union Pacific system.
This will insure nearly the unanimous
support Of the foreign stockholding in
tereSt for those large interests in the
Union Pacific in London, Berlin. Am
Sterdam and other European centers
which fear nothing so much as that
the great system will be disintegrated.
All anxiety upon this score may now
be set at rest, as both receivers and
committee are satisfied 1t would be
the height of folly to undo all the man
agement has done in the past in the
way of building I'D traffic on the main
line, derived from branches. although
the latter on the present basis, in some
instances is turned to the parent COM
pany. Europe will look anxiousIy for
some hint of the proposed treatment
of the branch line bonds it owns, in

another on Lake Michigan and a third
at the Pacific ocean, would make a
system more extensive than the world
has yet seen, and that may be possible
some time; in fact from present indi-
cations it is probable, and the Illinois
Central will be the company to own
such a line according to well founded
rumorS in railroad circles. 1t already
has a line from Chicago to New Or
leans and from Chicago into Iowa.
Several years ago was begun from
Sioux City a Pacific short line destined
to be the most direct route to the Pa
cific. 1t was built for distance Of a
few hundred miles through Nebraska,
when the work ceased in the sand re-
gions because of lack of funds. Since
then things have not gone well and it
is said the road can now be bought for
fifteen cents on the dollar. By push
ing west the road could reach the Pa
cific over route 200 miles shorter than
any other. The difficulty in the way Is
200 miles stretch of land which would
yield no profits for years, perhaps
never. It is said the Central officials
have had the matter under considera-
ton and think favorably of it. In fact,
the purchase would have been made
and the extension began this summer
had it not been for the disturbed con-
ditiOn of the money market

Swampscott, Mass, Nov 2S.-The

morning in the gale
Persons on the shore saw four or

some Of those in the rigging will sue

for her to get close enough to the Ran

well into the morning when she will
make the attempt The breakers were
dashing over the wreck when night set
in and the people in the rigging were
drenched. When daylight faded the
wreck was scarcely discernible, and
the darkness coming on swiftly hid

About a fortnight ago, something like
100 horses, as near as can be estimated,
were driven from the range south of
this city and north of the Colorado
line. There were some fifteen brands,
and nearly that many owners being
interested in the stolen stock, several
days ago a telegram was received
from Douglas making inquiries about
several brands. The party in charge
of the horses was offering to sell them
at any price for cash. Today Sheriff
Hanson received a telegram from
Deputy Williams at Douglas, stating
he had arrested two men and recover
ed thirty horses. Sheriff Hanson left
for Douglas tonight, to bring back the
thieves, who are supposed to be Rob
ert Hittle and William Brown, whom
there is sufficient evidence against to
insure conviction.

ONE FOR THE EMPEROR.
William Also Receives Rather Danger
Gus Present.

Berlin, Nov 2S.-It now anpears
that Emperor William on Sunday re-
ceived an Internal machine from
Orleans similar to the one sent to
Caprivi. 1t was accompanied by a
letter and both were delivered at the
emperors civil cabinet, where it's
nature was discovered and where it
was rendered harmless.
The emperor has not vet been in
formed Of the receipt of either of the
internal machines.
Inc french government has prom
ised the utmost assistance in tracing
the author of the attempted outrage
who is, as yet. utterly unknown.
The letter which accompanied the in
fernal machine sent Caprivi. read:

The letter sent Emperor William

and chancellor, due to Chauyinists'
at the slow working
of the Franco-Russian entente. and
who decided TO take the revenge in
their own hands.
The machine was contained in a
wooden box, similar to those used for
dominoes. At one end of the box near
the bottom was fixed a brass case fill
ed with nitro glycerine. The explosive
was connected through an aperture
in the bottom with an ordinary per-

THOUGHT THEY ELoFED.
The Mystery of Lake Cayuga Will Prob
ably Be Solved.

Springfield, Mass. Nov. 2S.-A special
from Ithica, N. Y, to the Union says:
Much excitement is caused over the re-
port that DR.. L. S. Merriam and Miss
Mary L. Yeargin. supposed to have
been drowned in Lake Cayuga on No
vember 49, were in New York city. and
that the doctor had written friend in
Ithica last Friday, informing him of
their whereabouts.
The report is said to have been
started by a letter carrier, who deliv-
cred letter to the owner. The letter
carrier firmly denies the story. Every
day since the two young people disap-
peared, the lake has been dragged by
competent boatmen. The finding of
the doctors overcoat has created com
ment- The coat, together with Miss
Yeargin's gloves, were found on the
bank of the lake quite dry. The boat
was near by, partly filled with water.
There are some who are inclined to be-
lieve the story that Dr. Merriam and
Miss Yeargin are still alive, and more
important disclosures are looked for.

wANAMAKEK WAS WRONG.
BIS Figures on the Postal Revenues Were
Greatly Defective.

Washington. Nov. S.-Postmaster-
generals annual report shows the de-
ficiency for the year ended June 80
1898, was $5,177,171. instead of 81, 552, 42S,
as estimated by Wanamaker. Instead
of a surplus there will be a deficit of
81, $50. 600 for the current year. 1t is esti-
mated the years revenue ending June
80, 1895, will be $50, 427, 74S, and expendi-
lures, 81 1893, 4S5.- The deficit will be

INTERNAL REVENUE SCHEDULE.
That and the Income Tax viii Be Con-
sidered Today.

Sldered Today
Washington, Nov. 2S.-The Ways and
Means committee will tomorrow de-
vote attention to the internal revenue
schedule of the new tariff bill.
Tomorrow Messrs. NIcMillin, Bryan.
and Montgomery, members of the sub
committee on internal revenue, will
meet and begin the formulation of the
internal revenue and income tax pro-
visions.
The income tax scheme will involve
considerable labor.
1t still appears the increase of the
whisky tax, if any be made, will not
exceed 10 cents per gallon, and the
changes in the tobacco schedule will
be very slight
The whole income tax question is
opened up anew and it is now possible
the tax may be of such a sweeping
character as to include all individuals
of incomes of $1,000 per annum and
over.
The Republicans are already prepar-
ing for q vigorous fight on the new
tariff bill Circular letters are now
being sent out by thousands signed
by Justice. Bateman & Co, Philadel-
phia wool commission merchants, ask
ing that certain data be sent to J. C.
Burrows, Republican member of the
Ways and Means committee, in regard
to the wool question.
Democrats are figuring that the de-
felt caused by Il new tariff bill viii
not exceed S35, 900, 600. William R. Nor
rison, chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission, said he did not
like to talk on the Wilson tariff bill.
It had not been Shown yet where the
money was coming from, and that

SIGNIFICANCE OF PARIS SIGNS.
Carefully Selected Names and Phrases
Used to Indicate the Wares for Sale.

Used to Indicate the Wares for Sale.
The eternal fitness of things is never
lose sight of by Parisians. Even their
shop signs are carefully adapted to
the character of the wares they adver-
tie. Every place where things are
sold, from the largest to the smallest,
has its designation. Some of the names
are pretty, some odd and grotesque;
some have an inwardness of meaning
that has to be sought after, perhaps,
but when found its application is I'M
failingly good.
Probably the most familiar illustra-
ton is the great establishment known
to all the civilized world as eau Bon
Marche." This does not mean the
good market, as some have translated
it, but ''at the cheap place" A flor
lists place is called 1.-The crown Of
peace" and when you see that it is
near a. cemetery you acknowledge the
appropriateness Of the name. 1.-THE
Little Balcony" inscribed over a bal
cony gay with flowers is an attrac-
tive name for a wine shop. There's
quite room enough for a few chairs
round a table holding a bottle of wine
and glasses.
In order to get the full meaning of
OlIS OlQ sigh, DCIlCI I1Idu ODpO-
site" one must learn that prison
once stood across the way from it. The
Miraculous Draught of Fishes" is
seen over both a. fish tackle shop and a
fish market on the banks of the Seine.
Many shops which sell kindling wood
and small fuel have the suggestive sign,
"Diabolical Charcoal" The curiosity
and the odds and ends shops continue
the idea in their funny appropriate
names.
OF these are cat the Knick-Knacks
Of Bygone Times" "At the Old
Times" cat the Mascot" etc. The
chemists rarely have any signs besides
the names of the dealers, but here is
a rather nice one: "At the Pharmacy

near a church. Diaries are often
named after saints. For restaurant
