Los ANGELES was the scene yesterday
of an innovation in Chinese theetricals.
Hitherto it has been customary to
have female Celestial characters person
ated by males dressed in women's
clothes. Last night a real, Simon,pure
female trod the boards. So it seems
that 'Melican mans ideas have had
some effect on the Celestial mind after
all. This receptivity has hitherto been
confined to the Japanese.

Cleveland's Indian Policy,

New YoRK, Jan. 29.-The committee
appointed by the board of Indian COM
missloners at their recent meeting in
Washington, to confer with the presi-
dent-elect as to his policy with refer
ence to the red man, called on Mr..
Cleveland Saturday. The committee
submitted for his consideration the plat
form adopted by the board of Indian
commissioners. 1t advocates the ex-
tension of the civil service rules to
presidential appointments in the Indian
service and the appointment of only
such persons as .are creditable exam
pies of white civilization" and whose
character is itself pledge that they
will use their Office to promote the well
fare of the Indians among whom they
labor. The platform also holds out for
making the education of Indian youths
obligatory. The committee received
from the president elect assurances that
he was with them heart and soul.

Arrangements are now completed for the dedication of the Odd Fellows home at Fairview,. near New London, which takes place next week Wednesday, and local lodges of that order have voted to participate in the ceremony. Ut is home with history, and the Odd Fellows of no other state," said Grand Master c. B. Ware, in talking on the matter, "have such a romantic, beautiful and extensive grounds set apart for them." The Odd Fellows agreed to pay $1 apiece till $5O,- 900 was raised and Grand Master Ware negotiated for the Stafford place. Col. Robert Stafford, very wealthy southern planter, who owned extensive cotton plantations on Cumberland island, in the Savannah river, fell in love forty years ago with beautiful Groton Heights and determined to purchase section of them and erect thereon a magnificent house as a summer residence for himself and his growing family. He married 8 southern auadroon and together they made Fair view a beautiful and famous spot. After her six children had grown up, Mrs. Staf- ford died of consumption and the children soon followed her, with the exception of two girls. Nowhere in Connecticut, prob ably, is there more complete home of beauty and luxury than this. The cell ings are high, the walls superbly frescoed, the mouldings are of white and gold and a massive grand staircase in the center of the hall is of San Domingo mahogany. Everything betokens beautiful and artis- tic design and the Odd Fellows are de- lighted with it. Different lodges through out the state have furnished the rooms, and on each door is the name of the lodge furnishing that particular apartment. The dedicatory exercises will be most im- pressive ceremonial and will be witnessed by thousands of people. It will. be the grandest Odd Fellow demonstration ever known in Connecticut. From 5000 to 5000 members of the order, including the Patriarchs Militant, will attend. All wis., iting lodges will be quartered at the Third regiment armory in New London until the hour of parade in that city, 11.30 8. m. The parade will consist of four divisions and include among others the grand lodge officers from the neighboring states of New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Is- land, and also the Odd Fellow highest in rank in this country, Past Grand Sire James Sanders of Yonkers, N. Y. The column will be transported up the Thames on steamers, and collation. will be served on the trip to 'sFairview," where the fol- lowing programme will be carried out:
 Opening prayer, by grand chaplain Rev. D. c. Ashley, of West Thompson.
 Ode of the order, by the audience, &C., companied by Wheeler & Wilson band, of Bridgeport.
 Address of welcome, by Grand Master c. B. Ware, of New London.
 Grafton, by Grand Representative Geo. H. Cowell, of Waterbury.
 Remarks by distinguished visitors.
 Benediction.
 The usual anniversary exercises will preoede the dedication. Excursion boats and trains will be run from all the leading cities in the state. :E-.

 THE Henry Bill Publishing Company, of Norwich, are to publish the life of James G. Blaine, written by Gail Hamil- ton, the only biography recognized by, Mrs. Blaine or authorized by the family, it's writer being the only one privileged to have access toprivate papers and memo randums of the distinguished subject. No other work has been authorized by Mir. Blaine's widow or had the sanction of MT. Blaine himsely. It would be the preference of all interested that the pen of Gail Hamilton should transeribe the career, the history, the success, aspira- tions, as we'll as the disappointments of this great American statesman. None knew him better. A book on any sub- ject by Gail Hamilton is a graceful addi- tion to any library. It must be dull writer; indeed, who could make dull book out of Blaine's biography. Given a subject like Blaine and writer like Gail Hamilton, and what book must result. The publishers circular says: ''Gail Hamilton, MT. Blaines literary executor, is the only person who has the material at command for preparing thorough, re- liable and satisfactory biography of the eminent statesman. The mechanical ex- ecution of the biography will be of the highest order; the illustrations the finest that the best artists can produce" Agents can now secure territory for the sale of the work. which is to be sold only by sub scription.

 THE American flag has been pulled down in Honolulu by order of MT. Blount, the commissioner sent out by President Cleveland. Phis does not necessarily mean the abandoning of the scheme of annexationy but puts the matter back to the ultimate result hoped for, the placing of the Sandwich Islands practically an American dependency, under American control, and available as a much needed naval station in case of war; The United States is singularly lacking in such pro- visions, deemed so important by other nations. ....,.....- .'-.s..-
 THE directors of the Connecticut state prison, though believing to a man in the efficiency and good government of Gen. Chamberlin, the warden, have, on the suggestion of the legislative committee, relieved him from his office, and Brigadier General Haven of New London has been temporarily installed in his place. Gen. Haven is chief of police of his city, and a very capable man. It was argued that the minor officers of the prison might hesitate to testify freely, in fear of Gen, Chamber lin, so long as he held his position, hence the change. It.eertainly cannot be said that there is any obstacle to the fullest in- vestigation of the causes of complaint, or that the report of the committee can pos sfbly beHdeemed an act of whitewashing The doors are all open to the fullest ex- animation of every alleged abuse

The Ballad of q Lunch.

Lately the City Council of Dublin,
Ireland, resolved to entertain visit
ing American Admiral at the city's
expense. The Mayor who took charge
Of the invitations neglected to invite
some of his party's leaders. They
showed their displeasure effectively
by getting the Council to rescind
the order for the luncheon. This in-
cident has been put in rhyme in a
Dublin paper as follows:
IT'S a truth beyond disputing and it holds
for ever good,
Men, the gentlest, most forbearing lose
their tempers over food;
Mark the lesson. oh, We eaters, while in
sorrow reveal
How bond time could not weaken was
discovered by Il meal.
In u city lies my story, ask me not its noble
name,
IT'S sufficient that its river gave to it q GER
tain fame,
And that city's solemn Fathers managed
with uncommon skill
Everything except the city--from their
Council on the Hill.
One each year was chosen leader all he
needed was to be
An unquestioning believer in the word
His the splendid robes Of Office, his the
coach of tinsel gold,
His the favor of his party, while he did as
he was told.
Why need men be independent, why so
prone to disobey?
He who at the time | tell OF held the chair
OF civic sway,
Though at first very model, soon betray-
ed, as will be shown,
A desire to follow notions, which, though
proper, were his own.
All in peace, pursuing pleasure, gay, with
flag and pennon drest.
Came warship from the famous young
Republic OF the West
That Republic which, when patriotic
finances were flat,
Had with welcome silver dollars oft reflled
the party Hat.
And the City's ruler mindful of its hos
pitable fame,
Bid the Admiral to luncheon, and the
tough old sailor came.
! Twas II sort OF small and early, not the
formidable crush,
| Where the swells of civic fashion capture
viands by rush.
Woe is me, they were forgotten, he hat
passed his party by.
Where there cards of invtationP with the
French for please reply"
Oh, the menace Of their frownings, oh
their attitude austere,
AS they asked, is this his doing whom w
chose a second year.
Then they Numbered "We'll rescind it, W,
shall drive him from the chair;
Other meals might be partaken, and W,
might not get our share"
And they coupled certain phrases, which
the printers leave in blanks,
With this bit of independence of rebelliou
Mr.. Shanks.
Can you blame them-true, they grapplet
with nations destinies,
All the times portentous questions the,
surveyed with passing ease;
Theirs the higher mental levels which al
party strifes contemn,
But to have a feed without them, twas to-
much for even them. l.. H. p.

a Fair Conclusion.

Ex-Minister Stevens seems to call
upon the United States to annex
Hawaii, because the derosed Queen
is dissolute woman Well, if this
republic proposes to annex every
country that has not the fortune to
be ruled by highly moral poten-
tate or magistrate, we will have to
try taking III a very considerable
section OF the outlying face of the
earth. There are, for instance, the
so-called Central American repub-
lies, governed by as cruel, vicious,
immoral a lot of cutthroats as the
land allows to live. What about the
unspeakable Turk, his friendship of
Burmah, the debauchees who rule
and rob several South American
states, not to speak of the Gear of
Russia2 Mr.. Stevens onslaught on
Liliuokalani, as an argument for an
nexing what we're her dominions,
carried to its legitimate conclusion,
would provide very large and vari-
Gus sort of contract for the new
navy, and necessitate the raising of
the army from its present proper
tions of less than 10000 men. aggre-
gate, to nothing less than 2,000,O00;
then the expense of SO broad a cru
SADIE of annexation, for purposes of
political and moral reform, would
right smart. "-Chattanooga Times.
