Mr. Joseph Arthur's "Stii Alarm will be presented at the Opera-house Tuesday evening Feb. Is. by probably the strongest east that it has ever had and upon more favorable condi- tions. It's popularity has at vet shown no signs of waning. q fact due to the manner in which it represents seems with which most of us are fa- miliar and in which all of us are in- terested. The element of danger which surrounds the life of d fireman i'll great city makes the theme an attractive and q profitable one for the dfainatist, and an interesting one for the play-goer. Nothing could be more spirited and exciting than the reckless dash for the fire in this play. Men, horses. everybody, seems to be i'll Il fever of excitement and this spreads to the audience It is un- questionably one of the most skillfully constructed scenes ever put upon the stage, and it is executed without q hitch.

they Tried to Deceive Him, but He Wasn't
Easily Fooled.

A belle went to the theater. On re-
turning home after the performance she
discovered that her brooch, which was
a valuable one, had been stolen She
was very sorry, for the jewelry was a
present A few days afterward the young
lady received the following letter:
1.-THE writer of these lines has the
honor to inform you that he knows
where your brooch is and will return it
cheerfully under certain conditions. l

lips. Tomorrow morning / will be at
the corner Of - street with the miss

me my price, will, after pressing a
kiss on the aforesaid lips, press the
brooch in your hand. No questions
asked. "
The young lady did not know what
to do. She wanted to get her brooch
back, but she did not caro- to pay the
price. She hit upon the idea of sending
her servant girl in her place.

WILD cosSAcK RIDERS.

Two Americans Saw Them Break Winter
Camp In Turkestan.
Messrs Allen and Sachtleben, who
went around the world ON bicycles, give
the following account of one of their
experiences in Turkestan
One of the chief incidents Of our
pleasant sojourn was afforded by Gov
ernor Ivanoff. We were invited to head
the procession of the Cossacks on their
annual departure for their summer en-
oampment in the mountains. After the
usual religious ceremony they filed out
from the city parade ground. Being un-
avoidably detained for few moments,
we did not come up until some time
after the column had started. AS we
dashed by to the front with the Ameri-
can and Russian flags fiuttering side by
side from the handle bars, cheer after
aheer arose from the ranks, and even
the governor and his party DOTTED their
Gaps in acknowledgment.
At the camp we were favored with
special exhibition of horsemanship. By
q single twist of the reins the steeds
would fall to the ground, and their rid
ers crouch down behind them as bull.
wark in battle. Then, dashing forward
at full speed, they would spring to the
ground and leap back again into the
saddle. or hanging by their legs would
reach over and pick up handkerchief,
cap or a soldier supposed to be wound
ed. All these movements we photo
graphed with our camera
OF the endurance of these Cossacks
and their Kirghiz horses we had prac-
tical test. Overtaking Cossaok courier
in the early part Of days journey, he
became so interested in the velocipede,
as the Russians call the bicycle, that he
determined to see as much of it as pos
sible. He staid with us the whole
day, over distance of 30 miles. His
chief compensation was in witnessing
the surprise of the natives, to whom he
would shout across the fields to come
and see the tomasha, adding in explana-
ten that we were the American gentle
mon who had ridden all the way from
America Our speed was not slow, and
frequently the poor fellow would have
to resort to the whip or shout tSlow-
", gentlemen. My horse is tired. The
town is not far away. 1t is not necessa-
~ to hurry so. -
The fact is that in all our experience
we found no horse of even the famed
Kirghiz or Turceman breed that could
travel with the same ease and rapidity
as ourselves even over the most ordina-
ny road Century.

Had Doubts of His Story.

Yesterday man passed through Com
mercial street, asking at the different
wholesale stores for the donation of a
dollar, OF half dollar, to aid poor
family on the Hill. One merchant began
to question the man, and among other
questions asked him where he was from.
The man said he was from Gloucester.
'"How does it happen" said the mer-
chant, that if you are Gloucester
man you are collecting funds for Port
land poor family?' well" the man re-
piled, 81 was asked to do it by the wom-
asa of the house." When asked her name
he couldn't remember it. The merchant
rather doubted the mans story, and had
no donation to give. ''You give me her
name and residence" said the merchant,
sand I'll see the family doesn't suffer-
