comedy, and, as in the past. Brothers
Byrne will give performance sur
passed by none. Their proficient cast
go to make up an evenings enjoyment
rarely eXcelled. The first act represents
the residence Of the O'Connors, where
the daughter of the house plans with
one Fitzgerald to elope, and with the
assistance of the servants (he Byrnes)

by O'Connor. who is bent on making a

greatest enthusiasm. The wrecked

never to be forgotten by those who are

CHINESE CUSTOMS.

A Chinese paper describes some
amusing marriage customs. In small
mountain village between Kaga and
Etchu, the bride comes to the bride
groom's gate and bawls out to him,
"Hallo, brother; Pve come" To
which the other replies, "Glad
you've come" The bride then ap-
peals to him, ''You'll never for
sake me?" and the bridegroom answers
her, we'll earn our living together"
With these assurances the bride comes
into the house, followed by long pro-
cession of weIl-wishers, old and young.
Cheap. muddy sake is distributed to
them, and they commence dancing. and
are not content until the floor gives
way, when they clap their hands, crying
'HOw auspiciouSw and take their leave.

Laura E. Webster recited shocking
tale of cruelty in the superior court to-
day, when she was:making application
for divorce from her husband, William
Webster. According to her story Mr..
Webster was man of very jealous dis
position. In order to help out the
family purse Mrs. Webster kept several
b0arders in the house, and her husband
used to delight in pouring water be-
tween tue sheets of their beds to keep
them from remaining longer than day.
One time he threw his wife's trunk and
clothing out of the window, and on
another occasion he went out one night
III his night robe and rolled in the mud.
When he became cold and muddy he
went back to his room and crawled into
bed and Rugged his wife. When she
objected he told her he was going to
freeze her out. This was more than
Mrs. Webster could stand, and the
divorce suit followed. Judge Ogden
has taken the case under advisement.

WITH THE GorHAMITEs.
Three New Plays Last Week.-Mrs.
RusseiI's Photographs.

Special Correspondence ST. Paul Globe.
NEW YORK, April 12.-Three plays
new to this city were produced on Mon
day night with varying results. They
were Margaret Fleming" by James A.
Herne; Rival Candidates." by c. L.
Darcy and 1.N.Morris, and 1.-The Sleep
walker" one Of those rare-rOast-beef-
Of-old-EngIand farces. by c. a. Abbott.
The first of these plays had previously
been done for an extended period by
Mr.. and Mrs. Herne in a little hail in
the city Of Boston. where it stirred up
considerable comment, and awakened
almost delirious joy among the fiat
heeled and specialized females OF the
town by reason of what they were per-
versely pleased to term its natural
ism. margaret Fleming" does not
strike New York in the same
light as Boston. Here it is regarded
as being revolving and theatrical, but
not at all natural. The play was hand
somely staged by Messrs. Carl and
Theodore Rosenfeld. who. by the way,
did not seem to be the least hustered
by the knowledge which they received
that very day of the destruction of all
their scenery, properties and costumes
for the Lllliputians company in the Mil
waukee conflagration. The Rosenfelds
are pair of self-possessed Germans
who would probably not change counte-
nance III the immediate presence of a
dynamite explosion. But they will
hardly succeed in keeping Margaret
Fleming" before the public for any con-
siderable length of time.
The Dazey-Morris production at the
Madison Square theater proved to be an
interesting play in which horse racing
proved to be an important factor, al
though there was no realistic reproduc-
ton of horse race on the stage.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 4-News was
brought by the steamship Princess Louise

end of Vancouver Island, last Monday
an avalanche of earth and rocks swept
down the mountain side, crushing a log
building occupied by four settlers, carry
ing it, with the ground it stood on. 100
feet out on the beach. and burying it
under several feet OF debris.
The tide was flowing and the situation
was desperate one. j. McClughan
wrenched himself from among the logs
and got clear of three feet of earth which
had nearly smothered him, and within
few minutes Fred Crosse, and c. Patter-
son got free Harry Kipling, however,
was firmly caught by one leg between
two large logs and was also nearly COW
cred with earth.
BY this time the tide was coming in
rapidly and the water was already up
to his neck, His companions made frantic
but futile efforts to remove the logs.
The water quickly reached his chin, and
1t was then seen that there was but one
desperate chance to save him.
It's your leg or your lif, Harry" said
McClughan.
I'm take the chance" said Kipling.
\ few well-directed blows of McClug-
hans ak severed the member, and with
such skill as they possessed, Kiplings
companions bound up the bleeding stump.
Settlers lower down the bay came to
the assistance of the unfortunate. Every
thing possible was done for Kipling, but
the following afternoon he died. His
body was brought to Victoria for burial
He and his companions were the pion-
eers Of the Canadian Cooperative Com

pairing the way for other settlers who were
to follow them in the spring.

Some of the soldiers at Pietermaritzburg
were recently informed by a party of
neighboring Zulus of the whereabouts of a
huge python that had been destroying
their oxen. The soldiers, with two hun
dred natives. started off TO capture the
snake, and, having located it, the forest
was fired for about mile round about an
enormous pit having been previously dug
in toward the centre of the enclosed
space. What with the burning brush and
the shouts of the excited Kafis tbev soon
drove the reptile toward the pit, where.
closing in upon him. they forced him
