At Feller's Opera House tonight
will be seen the French Mirror Dance
executed by Mile Jardine and hel
Cope de Ballot Of eight vivacious
dancing girls. The dance Of the Harem
correctly depicting the pleasures
Of a Turkish Sultan. The number Of
specialists connected with the organi-
cation is very great, numbering sixteen
in all, and including among its mum
Der the famous Gondoliers Of Venice,
who, with their mandolins and guitars,
together with their artistic dancing,
make a stage picture once seen not
soon forgotten.
The sisters Ferris direct from the
Alhambra Music Hall, Lendon, pre-
sent one Of the typical English special
ties now 50 popular in this country.
Messrs, Pickett and Primrose, formany
years the principal tumblers with the
famous Barnum circus and who ac-
companied it during the celebrated
English trip, have deserted the saw
dust ring to accept a more lucrative
position with the girls.
Their act, TO even gain the faintest
conception Of its magnitude, must be
seen. These gentlemen making two
and three revolutions in the air and
alighting safely on their feet. The
performance concludes with the frolic-
some burlesque, "a king for a day,
giving all the versatile members a
chance to show themselves, especially
the six knock-about comedians whose
antics are enough to cause Mysteries.

We recently read an old book en-
titled Leather Stockings and Silk
published in 1854, the scenes Of which
were laid in Martinsburg some years
that time. The preface says: There
was about the town III those days
a thoughtful, slumbrous quietude
which was very striking to such trav-
elers as stopped there. No stranger
except at long intervals made the
stony street resounedwith hoof-strokes;
no u d barking at the pedestrians
heels. Such horsemen and pedes-
TRANS were seldom seen-and the ours
had got out Of practice. The cloud
shadows fioated across the streets,
the tall old willows sighed and rustled,

Aheart SO full OF love,
How true, indeed, we can not tell
When death to us shall come.
Oft when we least suspect his call,
Lies race Is nearest run
Then may our futures be so pure,
So full Of peace and love,
That when we've passed this vale Of tears,
Wen meet our friends above.
Farewell, dear pupil, class mate too,
We shall not greet thee more
Until we've Joined the Angels choir,
Upon the Heavenly shore.

Great interest Taken in the Meet
ing at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The increasing
prominence OF electricity in the seien
tito and mechanical world was we'll
illustrated today at the congress of
electricians. 1t was first the plan to
old a general session in the Hall of
Columbus, but, although the room is
he largest III the building. 1t soon be-
came apparent that more space was re-
quired. So the congress was divided
into three departments. each of
which had a separate hall. All of
them were crowded. One section was
devoted to the pure science of electric
lty, including electric waves. theories
OF eiectrOlySiS, electric CONJUNCTION and
magnetism. Another section was de-
voted 10 delegates vino were especially
interested IN the study of dynamos,
motors, storage batteries, measuring
Instruments and materials for stand
I In the third section were the
students OF teiegraphy, telephony, cleo
tric signaling. electric traction. trans
mission of power aud system OF iilu-
limitation.
1t was surprising how interested the
outsiders in the audience were in the
learned treatlseS on eleeteic topics.
Many people, including not Il few
women who do not know an electro
static volt from a S-ubterranean high
tension circuit, were in all o. the SEES
SloiiS, listened attentively 60 the tech
nIcal diSeourses and watched the dem
onStratlOnS on the ~blaekboardS.
One of the principal speakers was
w. II. Preece. OF London, a Fellow of
he Royal Society. Prof. Preece is chef
OF the English telegraph department,
and one Of the most celebrated
electrical scientists of the world.
Ills topic was signaling Through
Space by Means OF Electro
magnetic vibrations" Prof. Preece
said that there was no doubt there could
be electrical communication without
the aid OF wires. Prof. SiIYanuS p.
thompson, ID. Sc. of r. s., of London.
read an exhaustive paper on Ocean
Telephony" He saiu 1t was only a
question of time when CONVEX sation
across the sea would be as successfully
accomplished as terrestrial teleDnonic
communication. Prof. Thompson reck-
oned that Il telephone cable over the
Atlantic would do the Work of ten Ordi-
nary cables. Therefore 1t is a powerful
inducement for the engineer to find a
way of realizing that which is destined
to be tie submarine cable of the future.
The speaker then entered into a long
explanation Of how il may be accom-
pliShed. illustrated with charts.

French Consulate in Italy Demoi-
iShed.

ROME, Aug 22-The popular ferment
arising from the AigueS-M ortes affair
shows nc signs Of subsistence, although
today there has been no rioting in this
city. The agitation is spreading in the
provinces. AT Milazzo. on the north
coast of the Island of Sicily, d mob last
night paraded the streets and acted in
a most disorderly manner. Finally
the leaders OF the rioters proposed that
an attack be made upon the French con-
sulate, and the proposal was greeted
with shouts of approval. Aiming them
selves with stones and other missiles
the mob marched to the consulate. and
smashed about every window IN the
building. The eseutcbeon of France
over the door was torn down and
AIKEN possession Of by some OF the
moo An attempt was then made TO
burn 1t. but the police somewhat tardiiy
arrived and drove the rioters off. Some
or the officers espied the eSeutcheon
and rushed into the crowd ana recapt-
ured 1t. There was a renewal of the
rIotIng at Genoa today. during which
an omnibus was totally wrecked. The
agitation III Genoa. though nominalIy
directed against the French, is said
TO be actually the work of an
archiStS, who are ever ready to
make riotous demonstrations. Troops
have been sent to Genoa to as

renee of the rioting. According to a
