is also interesting and realistic. Comedy

To the Publishers of 1.-THE Magic City,"


DEAR SIRs: I desire to express to YOU boil,
my admiration and establishment at the marvel
Gus beauty of your grand publication. It sur.
passes any work of the printers and engravers

Ing. The pilot ographs In natural colors are q

conception Your book Is rightly named "The
Magic City," and am sure it will receive from
intelligent people of your country the hearty
recognition to which 1t Is entitled by its supera-
tive merits.
It was originally my in ent'on to accept the
very kind invitation OF President Harrison t.
visit your great Worlds Fair last summer but
a sea voyage is always quite fatiguipg and occa-
s1onally dangerous, and I therefore hesitated
until your beautiful book was announced, when
at once realized that it would be more Desirable
and certainly more instructive, than personal
visit Hence l abandoned all idea of going to
the Fair, and am we'll pleased with my concu.
sion, for your splendid book 81 YES me permanent

Return Of the Ever Welcome
"Old Homestead"

Denman Thorn pson's celebrated play,
The Old Homestead" Stands a. tho
head Of the long line OF dramatic works
as the most wonderful entertainment
that has ever been offered. That il has
taken q firm hold on the masses Of
people who have seen it during It's run
in New York City-its fourth consscu-
tive season there--is evidenced by tho
enormous attendance at esca perform
ance
The plot is a simple moral story, just
the same as 4 father and mother ex-
perience with their chilcren every day,
and is thread holding together the
moving panorama of city and country
life. Is it any wonder that people flock
to sec play which so cleverly carries
them back to "old times" and which
their children enjoy just as much now
as themselves used to?
The most remarkable feature Of its
success is the fact that it draws among
it's patrons many prominent clergymen
who have never before darkened the
doors of q theater, and who, in turn,
have from their ulpits paid it the
highest tribute possible by saying that
the play taught high moral lesson, as
swung ohO PoWCAlul 40 OIL bu6y COulu
preach. This before unheard, of indorse-
ment sends thousands to witness il who
have always looked upon the stage as a
place to be Stunned and avoided. "The
Old Homestead" will be recorded in
the annals of history as the most
successful domestic play ever known,
artstically and financially.
Seeing the play is like taking happy
summer holiday in rural New England
So carefully has every exaggeration
been avoided and so perfect is the rep.
resentation Of almost every one of the
characters that even the most critical
will find very few flaws. There is
gratifying absence Of that vulgarity
which less intelligent actors would m AXE
part Of the action. The play is pure,
wholesome, breezy and altogether de-
lightful. 1t is to be hoped that the pub.
lie will realize what an opportunity this
is. 1t is one OF the best plays we have
had and should BIS patronized accord
ingly.
1.-The Old Homestead" will be pre-
sented at the Academy of Music next
Thursday evening, and in order to &C
commodate the large audience expect ted
the seats will be placed on sale to-mor-
row morning at Johnson e Johnsons.

CLEVELAND CALM, GRESHAM AMIA-
al

Various rumors are in circulation in
regard to the situation in Samoa. The
fsvorite report just now is that the
German Government has no thought Of
abandoning Samoa TO England and thst
the German Government will resist any
intrigue or any appearance of force to
displaco the German influence or the
German citizens there.
This is probably part Of the general
scheme of the annexationista of this
country who want to interfere in the
domestic affairs of the Pacific Islands in
order TO furnish some excuse for the
United States Government to seize ter
ritory.
A short time ago there was a rumor to
the effect that the English and German
Governments had combined in Samoa for
the purpose of decreasing American in
fuence there and preventing the success,
pecuniary and political, OF American
citizens there. The object of that rumor
was plain. It obtained about the time
that few statesmen Of certain class
were trying to worry the Democrats be-
cause Of the policy this administration
had pursued In Hawaii. It was part
Of the plan for annoying the Democrats
1t was part Of the scheme that was
supposed TO be capable Of making Presi.
dent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham
withdraw Mr.. Willis from Hawaii; of de.
manding that they had made the mistake
there and that they should accept the
condemnation of such men as Boutelle,
Hoar and Higgins.
OF course that scheme was a failure.
Mr.. Cleveland is usually calm under such
attacks and Mr. Gresham is one of the
quietest and bravest men in the country.
He has that peculiar temperament OF
sweet amiability which often accompanies
determination that it is so rigid that It
appears to be almost fierce and exasper.
ating defiance. At any rate neither Mr..
Cleveland nor Secretary Gresham has
yielded single point or changed his
course a hairs breadth from the first plan
they agreed upon for the conduct Of the
case In Hawaii.
It will be precisely the same with Samoa
Il does not matter what rumors the pesky
annexationists start, the policy Of this
administration is that Of fairness, hon
esty and of absolute non-interfereno,
at all times and with all countries, grea
or small And that is the policy thai
will be pursued hereafter with all coun
tries, just as it has been pursued hereto
fore with Hawaii.

If after that hour either of these clerks
wish to do some unfinished work they
can gain an entrance by the use of the
keys.
About o'clock one night last week
Mr.. NJ. one Of the clerks, went to the
store He had work to do in the rear
end OF the building, and proceeded there
without lighting the gas.
Hardly had he begun when he heard
Mr.. H, the other clerk, trying TO get
his key in the door Mr. NJ secreted
himself, and when Mr.. H had closed
the door the former uttered an unearthly
groan. Mr.. H stopped instantly and
stood as though glued to the floor.
He took a step forward and again
Mr.. M uttered the sound. Mr..
H stopped again; his hair began to
stand on end and he was thoroughly
frightened. He turned around, walked
to the door and hesitated an instant.
Again that awful sound. Hurriedly his
hand was placed in his trousers pocket
He brought forth the key aud fumbled
at the keyhole. The door unlocked, he
hesitated at the threshold again. That
scream again and slam went the door.
he hurried of to the street corner, hall

On a farm about two miles northwest
Of Milford there is a very novel utiliza-
ton Of graveyard; though by many IL
might seem far from commendable, and
by no few a sacrilege, as well as dis
grace. says the Milford Chronicle There
is brick wall surrounding the ground -
formerly set apart as the resting place Of
all that was mortal OF those inferred
therein. The wall is coped with stone
and an iron gate was placed as an en-
trance. IL Is one of the old time home
lots set apart on the farm for the burial
OF the family. Within are some graves,
upon one of which a slab rests bearing
the following inscription;
Ia Memory Of
Daniel Mason
Who lived in Milford. He departed this
life In 1850, aged ~.
Upon another grave rests a slab with
this inscriptions:
Sacred 10 the Memory Of
Joseph e.. Oliver,
Who departed this life

Aged AZ years.
This stone was caused 10 be erected by his

At the head of one Of the graves is a
stone bearing these lines:

At present a shed stands within the
enclosure and the burial lot has been
transformed into hog pen. These are
the facts Of the case. The deductions
made therefrom will, we believe, be
Of much unanimity.
