with him. he generally got about half
enough from these parties to pay for
the coal that was burned.
The climax came one day Just as one
of these pleasure parties had been set
ashore. OctOve and Budreau started to
take the steamboat back TO the place
where she was usually tied to the bank.
She churned her way into the middle Of
the pOnd. and then she stopped. Octave
did not at first perceive 1t. Ehe boat
went so slowly even at her best gait that
it was necessary to take sight at
something on the shore to be certain
whether she Was moving. This was
what Octave did. and then he shouted:
"Eh, Budreauw

in this way.

"Dieu, Budreau, we drift to the dam.
We go over! We are lostl"
1t was true that the steamboat was
Moving Toward the Dam.
The pond was usually well supplied
with water, and it was pouring over
the embankment. Octave looked
wildly around. From his lofty position
on the upper deck he could see Budreau
nervously puttering with the engine.
There was an anchor on the forward
deck. Octave had bought in Chicago,
and had got all the iron he could for his
money. The anchor was large enough
to hold a siXty-ton schooner.
"Budreau, Budreau !" shouted Octave.
AYE, aye, capitaine"
"T'row overheard the anch'!"
Budreau sprang to his task.
"Capitaine" he cried.
AYE. aye, Budreauw
"There is no line on the anch."
THROW him over anyway. He may do
good"
And Budreau threw the anchor over
board. Naturally it produced no effect.
Octave was wild with excitement. He
imagined his boat dashed to pieces be-
low the dam. As she drew forty inches.
and not more than half foot was going
over the dam, there was feallyno chance
for such catastrophe. But Octave was
too nervous to see this. He pranced
around on the upper deck. shouting his
orders to BudTeau. Finally he got too
near the rail, and went over into the
pond. He landed feet foremost. and
found the water a little above his waist.
He was surprised. He supposed him

seized hold of her rudder and braced
himself as best he could to restrain her.
At this moment she touched the en-

THE ROYAL MILDLY"
Will. Fill the Seventh Week of
the WiIburs


the WiIburs.
It seems remarkable that the manage
ment of the Metropolitan opera house
during The sultry days of midsummer
when the thermometer fiuctuates from
ninety to 100 degrees are enabled to
keep the auditorium of that popular
theatre at an even temperature of
seventy degrees. This reduction i'll
temperature is obtained by tanning in
and exhausting or the air IN the house
every eight minutes. The air is famed
in under the floor over coil of pipes
through which ice cold water is con-
tinually being pumped from an artesian
well under the basement. The air de-
rived thereby is much better than
tanning the air in over ice. as it cools
the atmosphere and still it is pure and
wholesome and not damp and clammy
as it is when famed through ice. The
remarkably cheap prices charged by
the management this summer are a
strong magnet to draw the public. The
matIneeS are fifteen and twenty-five,
cents and the evenings fifteen, twenty
five and fifty cents.
The Wilbur Opera company ara now
at the height of their season at this
theater. They begin their seventh
week OF comic opera at this theater to-
night, presenting through the entire
week, including tie usual Wednesday
and Saturday matinees. for the first
time in this city comic opera in three
acts, entitled The Royal MILDLY" The
scene OF the opera is laid in Portugal,
and admits of gorgeous and elaborate
costumes ana scenic embellishments,
which will be given this production as
has been given the previous ones. Dur
ing the third act 5peeialties will be in
troduced by Comedian Kohnle, Clarence

him, and it affected him mora deeply
than all the announcement of his

back to the bank, and never more was

The LOCAL STAGE.

For the present week. commencing to

stock company at the Grand, Jacob
Lifts players will be seen III the three-
act light comedy, Pink Dominoes," one
of those light ana airy stage creations
that has for its sole object the creation
OF laughter. This play is prolific in
complications, and full of absurditiessin
situation. Its language is bright and
breezy; its characters natural. and DUR
ing the summer time it should certainly
prove refreshing and successful enter
talnment. The plot of Pink Domi
noes" is clever one, and Its story
deals with series of complications Into
which several merry couples succeed in
getting themselves through the mis-
taken identity of lady in pink dom
mo, and surreptitiOus visit to the Gre
morne gardens, London. The presenta-
ton of "Pink DominOes" has always
been attended with merry results, and
there Is every reason to believe that in
the hands of such capable people as
compose Mr.. Lifts stock company, it

Octave to Columbus, Fulton and Count
Ferdinand de LeSseps. When Octave
read this story he felt so-much encour-
aged that he sold out his interest in the
warehouse and prepared to put it all
into the steamboat. She progressed
rapidly in accordance with a design
never before equaled in nature or art.

The Launching.

a house mover hauled the boat to the
edge of the mill pond, where the raging
waters of the Fox were turned back by
dam. All the dignitaTies of the city
assembled. The steamboat set on two
AKA sticks of timber which formed the
ways and were sharply inclined toward
the pond. The most distinguished
gueats crowded her cabin, where Octave
had provided a little refreshment. The
signal was given: the queer little tub
started down the ways; the people in
the cabin held on TO each other, and
yelled; the crowd on the shore laughed
and cheered.
Just as the boat dipped her rudder
into the mIllpOnd one of the ways broke
and she turned up on her side. The
party in the cabin were hurled against
the lower side of it, and the mayor sat
down on one of the windows. a large
portion of his cOTpOreal being went
through il into the muddy water. There
was panic. Everybody fell over every
body else in a wild endeaYOr to get out.
Fortunately there were no serious casu-
alties, and eventually the boat was
righted and launched. Happily she had
held together, and her engine had not
fallen overheard. Octave lighted fire,
