The Princess Bonnie, an American
Spanish comic opera, words and music by
Willard Spencer. the Philadelphia, who
gave to the public the Little Tycoon, ="
| will receive its first production at the
Chestnut Street Iheater Easter Monday.
| No production Of recent years has been
more auXiously anticipated by the music
10 ers of America than the Princess
Bonnie. The public looks with pride
uron the American whose single Tort
placed him in a position second to no
other composer of comic opera music in
| the world, and will undoubtedly read
with interest any infOrma ion regarding
his progress. Mr.. 81 encer first began to
write the music of the forthcoming pro-
ductiOn Several years ago, but the Little
Tycoon" under his personal management
met with such great success that he de-
layed his labors indefinitely. 1t is only
during the last few months that the
bulk of the work has been executed.
Very little has been said regarding the
character of the production. In fact, the
present announcement is the first author
lied. The scene OF the first act of The
Princess Bonnie" is laid near Bar Harbor
on the coast of Maine
The second act is in the court yard of a
military castle in Spain. The story deals
/
who wins a race in full view of the audi
ence, q trout fisherman who falls in love
with Bonnie, the heroine and adopted
daughter of the old salt, who saved her
| when a child from a fOundered ship at
sea. BOnnie turns out to be a Spanish
princess, betrothed in infancy to an Ital-
ian nObleman. The appearance on the
scene of the nObleman to claim Bounie's
hand creates a lot of implications. There
is also another love affair Shrimps,
champion canoeiSt, is devoted to Kitty
Clover, belle of the canoe club, but she
holds him Oh, declaring that his name is
is not sufficiently romantic to suit her.
In the end the Italian nobleman is dis
comftted, the Princess Bonnie is united
in marriage to the man of her choice
Shrimps gets Kitty, and the curtain de-
sends on the jOlliest kind Of a finale.
Decidedly the strongest feature of Mr.
Sponsors new opera will be its music
Some of the number that are expected
to set the country humming and whistling
are ''My Bark Canoe, - Dreaming of

TAKEN WITH A STRANGE FIT.
Jesup's Jailer Milliken Afflicted With
u Queer Disease.

Jacob Milliken, the young countryman
who, to all appearances, was feigning
suicide at the market day before yester-
day, was before the recorder yesterday
morning, with his companion, Col. h. Il.
Morse.
Milliken is jailer at Jesup, and was on
his way to Rocky Ford when he was over
taken with an attack of the fits in the
market He told the recorder he remem-
bered nothing of the occurrence, and
was quite positive he was not drunk. He
had no recollection Of firing his pistols,
and was sure he had no intention of com
hitting suicide.
The charges of disorderly conduct were
dismissed, and as Milliken had his pistols
exposed to view the charge of carrying
concealed weapons was treated in the
same manner. The quart of whisky he
had was untouched, but the gin in half
pint bottle showed evidence of having
been used. Milliken said friend had
takeni it.
Milliken having gone through the
stages of remorse, regret and repentance,
was advised by the recorder to go to
Rocky Ford and not resume his last be-
havior.

base ball players recently engaged to play
in this country by the Buffalo club come
within the prohibition of the alien CON

In Praise of Oatmeal.

DR. Johnson, who disliked Scotsmen
and things Scottish, defined ''oats" in
his dictionary as 'food for men in
Scotland and for horses in England" {"
But nothing has been heard about
the definition since the famous retort
OF a Scottish Judge:
"Yes; and where will you find
such men and such horses"
Carlyle bel ieved in oatmeal, for he
remarked OF Macaulay: "Well, any
one can see that you are an honest
good sort Of a fellow, made out Of oat-
meal"
That il is not only nourishing. but
filling at the price, WAS proved by
the shrewd Scotswoman who used to
tell her dve BARNS that 1.-The one
that ate the maist parritch would get
the maist meat" And so, when the
meat came, there was no room for II.
The most curious fact about oatmeal
is, however. that the use OF porr!dge
is on the decrease in Scotland, and
on the increase in England. This
looks bad for the Scotsmen or the
future

THE heroine Of the unsavory law

more pleasing because 1t was not ex-

rical campaign which would keep
continually before the public the de-
tails OF a scandal that should be for
gotten as sson as possible. 1t is well

THE principal OF boys academy
in Middletown. n. Y, has inaugu-
rated the policy of having jury trials
in which the pupils shall be the ju
rors In all cases OF offences against
school discipline. The young men
are thus given some practical expert
ence in deciding as TO the weight OF
evidence. In the first case the jury
unanimously voted a verdict OF ac.
quittal. In the next verdict OF
guilty was rendered, and severe
punishment was recommended. The
experience gained In jury duty is un-
dOuDtedly edu ational in its effects.
and the young men from the Middle
town school will in after life be better
fitted for jury duty than are the ma
jority OF those on whom il is imposed
only after they become grown men.

A member OF the bar. In relating
some "reminiscences OF the court in

one OF the famous advocates OF that
time had badgered and crowded a
witness until he had lost his temper
The witness incidentally said some
thing about cat, and the crafty
lawyer seized upon this as means OF
further worrying the witness.
How old was the cat:" asked the
attorney.

counsel, whose shining bald head was

"Oh, l can't guess how old the
cat was, but he was old enough TO be

A Wrestling Frog.

Every animal has its own means Of
defence or escape. Frogs save them
selves by Jumping-an art in which
they probably excel all other forms
OF vertebrates. hut Mr.. w. III. Hud-
son once encountered frog which,
as he says was not like other frogs
i'm that IL possessed weapons OF
offence. He was snipe shooting, and
peer!ng into burrow, saw a burly
looking frog sitting in the entrance.
With the instinct OF naturalist he
set about capturing it, The fog
watched him, but remained motion
less. What followed Is thus de-
scribed by Mr.. Hudson:
Before l was near enough 10 make
a grab, IL sprang straight at my
hand, and catching two OF my fin
gers with its fore legs, administered
a hug so sudden and violent as 10

The new catalogue of the romances
in the British Museum begins with the
record of the unique and priceless
manuscript of "Beowulf," and tells of
the escape of the manuscript from the
conflagration at Ashburnham House
in 1871 and of its still having fair
pretension, despite all the scholars, to
be the very oldest poem in any modern
European language-a monument of
English which is asserted to be hun
dreds of years older than the first lit
erary stammerings of the Romance
language, and probably much the
senior of any Teutonic literature.

The gentle art of shopliftihe is on
the increase, according to Mr.. White
ly, the great London provider. 1t is
sad to think women of the middle and
upper classes are said to be the chief
offenders, although it is difficult to
credit such statement. One of the
commonest tricks is to have several
large pockets in dress into which
things can be pushed easily without
incuring observation. Very often
long, loose cloaks are worn. 1t cannot
be urged that kleptomania is the rea-
son for these thefts, because the shop
lfters usually hunt in couples, on,

The doctor was a young man, who
had never had such case before. He

This said, "For reducing disloca-

The pat ent was evidently in poor

that even the minimum fee was not

In the Pollard Brcckinridge trial,

The Paris Morgue and Its Dead.

Here are some grim figures from
the annual statistical report OF the
Morgue. Last year no less than 900
bodies lay on the marble slabs of the
Paris dead-house, and Of this great
number more than 200 were unknown
men and women, claimed and recog-
nized by none; Two hundred and
fifteen out OF NE total number had
lost their lives by drowning; falls had
disposed OF eighty-three: hanging
ended seventy-six, and firearms sixty
eight, while suffocation, stahiny, and
poisoning brought NEST Of the rest to
their death. The greater number Of
the corpses were those Of men, and
the statistics go TO prove what has
been already proved-that those who
commit suicide oftener choose the
summer than the winter for their
trash act" 1t is strange, but true,
that the brighter and more unhappy
souls find strength and nerve TO end
their mscries. As to what percent
age Of the Morgue subjects are sui

probably it is very high. Black and

Go TO Slavery Willingly.

Far from dreading their sale, the
girls of Circassia look forward TO it
as the great opportunity OF their
lives Each believes that it is she
who may find grace and favor in the
royal crown, and thus control at will
the rise or fall OF the royal scepter,
says a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly.
But even II not chosen by royalty,
those lwho purchase the beautiful
damsels or CiIcassia are the wealthy
and titled; and not the slightest
soc al degradation is attached to their
position, even when taken to hdrems
wherein Turkish wife may be in
stalled as head OF the household.
The common dependence Of all the
inmates Of ha EN- upon the favor OF
a lord who may at any time elevate
the Circassiau slave TO the position
Of a lady fosters a spirit OF equality
of pure, practical denocracy-that
would be inconceivable under any
other circumstances. AS Turkish
lady explained TO an astonished En-
glish visitor: "a slave may become
a lady any day, and in treating her AS
one beforehand we rake off very
much Of the awkwardness which
would else ensue." When we con-
slider that all the children OF slaves
are acknowledged as the legitimate
children OF their father, we must
confess in justice to the Turk that
theirs is a condition in which the evils
Of slavery TO the slave are reduced To
a minimum.
