Keith's Opera House.
The well known drama OF sThe Mid
night Alarm" will begin weeks engage
ment at Keith's Opera House ON Monday
evening. The sporting editor says:
"'rhe piece is corker from the word 90,
and fairly bristIes all through with OPP
portunities for the artist to get in his
s'fine italian hand" and "bring down the
house" In the good old orthodox style.
The scene of the struggle with the
villain, the midnight alarm and the
the gentle gallery god gets on tip-toe
and frantically enveavors to turn himself
inside out in his desire to express his de-
light with the thrilling situation. And il
ls tnrllling, 100, Parquet and
dress circle are just as deeply
interested and wildly demonstrative as
the ''smali boy" over this realistic scene
and give most uproarious evidences of
genuine appreciation. Act first opens on
the East river, New York, within sight of
the famous Brooklyn bridge, with the
villain being foiled in the effort to injure
little orphan girl, who stands between
him and a fortune. Act second transpires
Oh the farm of Uncle Gideon, where the
little girl has been taken, and the colebra-
tion of the doth wedding anniversary
OF tha rural couple. Act third brings
the spectators back TO New York,
where series OF ingeniously contrived |
scenes and complications, including The |
Living Statue Clock are introduced. Act |
fourth Is chock full of sensationalsm. Ii |
opens In the interior OF the HAYES
truck house, in New York. The gong
peals out the alarm, and then comes the
engine, vomiting flame and smoke, and
drawn by two superb horses, the l
steamer being whirled across the
stage in a jiffy, forming magni-
hcent piece OF stage mechanism. To say
that the effect Of this climax is electrical
Is wholly gratuitous, for il is Just here
that the enthusiasm Is pandemonium
itself let loose, and that the roof OF the
heater shows signs of taking a skyward
Hight. In act fifth Is where villany gets
sat down on relentlessly, the hero is made
superbiy happy and the audience disperse
with perfect self satisfaction" This play
viii be produced in the usual complete
manner characteristic OF all OF Mr.
Pearson's dramas, as regards scenic and
mechanical effects and acting.

Mai,-Gen. McCOOk and the Scout.

Several months ago Gen. McCook paid
Il visit to Santa Fe with some railroad Of
ficials. On arriving at Santa Fe, his first
inquiry was for one Lucian Stewart. He
was told that Stewart was in the hospital
awaiting death from old age.
"Then he may die tonight, and l will
see him first" the general quietly re-
marked. And then, with his aide, he
went. directly to the hospital and was
quickly by the cot of the old man.
"Stewart, don't you know me?' he in
quired in Il tender way, ut the same time
extending hand.
Stewart did not reply for fully one min
ute, all the time holding the generals
hand and scanning his features. At last
and with smile he said: Eyes, l re-
member you. You are the young lieuten-
ant who never smoked before break
fast"
Here the two broke into a laugh, the
heartiest laugh perhaps the old invalid
had enjoyed for a decade. Stewart had
been the chief of scouts, when, forty
years ago, McCook was fighting Apaches
on the frontier. The general had not seen
regard for his old friends by remember
ing 50 humble Il comrade. The remark
of the old scout referred to a time when
McCook, then lieutenant, and detail
under Col. st. Vrain, were chasing the
Apnches. They had struck hot trail
and had been OH it thirty-six hours with
out food. Fearing to wait to prepare a
meal, for every minute was then precious
so close was the trail, Col. st. Vrain de-
termined to keep on the march. Kealiz
ing the condition of his men and Of
fcers, he. had given permission for the
men to partake of such rations as they
could in the saddle, and turning to his
lieutenant. he remarked:

AN INFANT PHENOMENON.
Baby POchler Reads German and Latin at
Two YoarS Old

Baby Poehler Reads German and Latin at
Two Years Old.
The most wonderful case on record is
that of the little son of butcher and
wife named Poehler, in Braunschwcig,
says German exchange.
A few weeks ago the mother took the
baby, which is only 81 months old, to
DR.. Berkhan for examination, telling the
doctor that the child could read every
thing ut sight. The first thing the boy
did to prove his mothers assertion cor
rect was to pick up the doctors books
and read from them correctly. as he
turned page after page. The doctor and
several colleagues examined the child and
found that his development, both physi-
cal and mental, was normal, aside from !.
phenomenal amount of memory impress
sions. which enabled him to read German
and Latin print and script and also num-
bers composed of two figures. At the
age Of Is months the child manifested
unusual interest in all signboards and
bill posters, the show-windows of book
stores, etc, and demanded an explanation
for everything it saw in this line. 1t was
the same at home with the books and
newspapers it found about the house. In
this way the babe absorbed an enormous
amount of pictures Of words, letters and
ment of his parents, the child pointed to
the name Of lotto" in Il newspaper which
he snatched from his fathers hand.
From that time on he read nearly every
thing that came under his eyes. AS soon
as he secs a book or newspaper in any
one's hands the boy grows restless and
nervous until it is handed to him. When
riding in a street car he sends up a disap-
pointed howl if his eyes. do not discover
the usual street-car advertisements and
placards.
This yearning for printed things is ply
siological without explanation. and medi-
cal history has not Il similar case on rec
ord, except that of Dase, the famous
mathematician, who gave evidence of his
his phenomenal talent in early years. But
this was all he ever knew. The question
is asked by the scientists who have ex-
amined little Otto whether he will de-
velop in other directions as strikingly as
he has in this this.
Fortunately the parents have no in
tention Of exhibiting their wonderful off
spring for money, and the case is watched
by the medical fraternity with undated
interest

CURIOSITIES OF COMMERCE.

Manufacturin Their Cues.

Cinnamon Use Big CargOes of TW1ne In
Manufacturing Their Cues.
Two or three curiosities of commerce
are mentioned in the report of the COM
missioner of customs at Canton. Wooden
goods are not much in demand in that
latitude, but wooden cord is now very
largely used by the natives here for
plating into their cues and the importa-
tons of this article are steadily increas-
ing" The import of kerosene oil at Can
ton increased from 3,OOO,OOO gallons in
1883 to more than 9.5OO.OOO gallons in
1891. 1t is peddled OH the street. The
empty cans serve a great variety of uses.
''rhe domestic servant delights in them
as convenient and all-embracing recepta-
cles, and readily fashions them into han
dy utensils for aaily use. They are con-
verified into lamps, boxes, toys for chill
dren and all sorts of domestic articles.
Flattened and pieced together one sees
them generally used in conjunction with
the usual mating as coverings for booths
and sheds. They supply the packing tins
in which lard and ginger are exported.
The tinware sent from here to the North
ern ports consists largely of lamps, boxes
and various small articles made of old
kerosene tins, and ornamented with lac
quer varnish." Evidently the shipment
of oil to China in bulk is an expedient of
doubtful value.-New York Journal of
Cnn,marco
