Hopper Spins "Pinafore" Yarn.


Some years ago, when the ''Pinafore"
craze was at its height, the actor who
impersonated Sir Joseph Porter during
production of that opera at the Vario-
ties theater, New Orleans, had make
up which transformed him into an
exact facsimile of Admiral Murray OF
the United States navy, who was then
stationed at New Orleans. One night an
old salt of Murray's command was sit
ting in the front row of the gallery.
When Sir Joseph Porter made his first
entrance, he gazed upon him for mo-
mert as if doubling the evidence Of his
senses, and then muttered to himself
soto voce, "I'm blest if that isn't old
Murray"
Rising from his seat and making a
sea scrape, he called out, GOOD day,
your honor" The special officer waa
going to eject him, but the manager of
the house, who had observed him, for
bade it and told the officer to let tho old
fellow enjoy himself to his hearts con-
tent SO long as he did not become SO
boisterous as to disturb the performance.
Whenever Sir Joseph came on or
went off the stage, the old salt would
rise and honor him with a salute, and
after the fall of the curtain he proposed
and gave three cheers for Admiral Muir
ray. A naval lieutenant who was pres
emit subsequently told me that when the
old fellow went on board his ship next
day he had to be put in irons for refus-
ing to obey an order from his superior
officer unless that functionary would
follow the example Of the gallant cap
tain Of the "Pinafore" and say, IF yoT
please. DE Wolf Hopper in New

strike is about over. The military
and deputies have been withdrawn
from almost every point where trou-
BILE existed, and on Monday the
railroads commenced hauling coal
again. In this county there never
was any very serious trouble, and
our miners would not have come
out at all, if it had not been for the
interference of the Ohio miners and
their assembling in force on this
side of the river, which overawed'
our miners, and they feared bodily
harm if they continued to work
Retaliation is bad policy to both
operator and miner, and we hope
now all bitterness between employ
er and empIoye will be amicably ad-
justed and that the men employed
in the mines of this county will be
re-instated, and that each side will
see that the interest of one is the
interest of the other. We would
be very sorry to see new men take
the places of our miners.
