At the Metropolitan Theater this even

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing the well-known Irish comedian,
Dan'l Sully, will appear in "The New
Corner Grocery" the play in its old
form in which Mr.. Sully found his way
TO success, and in spite of the fact that he
has since produced other plays with
full measure Of success, IN compliance
with a general demand, he has replaced
this vehicle OF his first triumph. Mr..
Sully has rewritten The Corner
Grocery" and says that in so doing he
has greatly enlivened his comedy scenes
and embellished the play with additional
episodes of human interest. The honest
old Irishman, carrying like a Spartan
the heartache engendered by belief that
his son is thief, is a strong character.
Sully is not a carlcature, but faithful
portrayal of a lovable, honest man of the
Irish people, and as such his skill as an
actor is made manifest. His mirth, and
there is an abundance of it, is the product
of situations necessary TO the story and it
serves to relieve the character OF any
burden of somberness. The company in
support of the star is said to be stronger
than any before with him and several
new songs, dances and clever SpecialtieS
have been added. Tomorrow night the
comedy "Con Conroy, the Congressman"
Seats are rapidly selling for the per-
formance of ''Othello,' at the Metropoli
tan Theater, Tuesday evening, next, by
Maurice MORRISON and the San Francisco
German Dramatic Company. Mr.. Nor
isson is one of the first of European
tragedians, and his Othello is, in Ger
many, esteemed his best character, and
he is the leader in Europe in that role.
He played last summer in New York,
Philadelphia, st. Louis and Cincinnati to
crowded houses, and with eminent sue
cess.

There are dozen or more of these

The amount of pebbles in a CO. pound
sack of coffee will average two pounds
the year through, or, in this establish
ment, a total of 100000 pounds an

the construction OF his novel garden
path five years ago, and about $780,
600 pounds of Brazilian pebbles have
gone into it. Inasmuch as every
pound of these pebbles was paid for as
coffee, at not less than 10 cents per
pound, the garden walk represents and
is a souvenir of the duplicity of the
Brazilian exporter to the extent Of
$4,000.

Colonel William Nave's chivalry
and politeness are household words
out west. One day the colonel was a
passenger on western train which
was held up by train robbers. While
the robbers were going through the
passengers it was whispered around
that the leader was none other than
the notorious Jesse James. When il
came to Colonel Nave's turn to empty
his pockets, he said to the leader
cam 1 correctly informed, sir, that

celebrated Jesse James?"
"Thats my name, sir" was the re.
ply.
Then, sir, l tender you my regrets
and apologies" said Colonel Nave

only $3.50 in my clothes. If l had

However. l happen to have a blank
check, and if you will allow me 1 will
take . great deal of pleasure in filling

"Well, I'll be blessed! You're q
cool one" said the robber chief. "Bu,
I'll be hanged if you shall out-do me
in politeness. You can keep your

But insist, sirl"

A well-known downtown coffee
merchant boasts of having at his
country place on Long Island the
most expensive gravel walk in the
world, says the New York World. Hi.
firm annually imports from Brazil al
many as 250,0OO sacks OF coffee. Iu
every sack there is to be found from
one to three pounds of small pebbles
They do not get there by accident, but

US.
The presence OF the pebbles is a rule
that very rarely presents an exception
For years the presence OF the guilty
little pellets were q source of constan,
annoyance and expense, consequent
upon the breaking of grinding ma
chinery. Then genius came to the
aid OF the coffee roaster and invented
machine somewhat on the order o.

which deducts and throws to one side

passed into a hopper which leads
them to a broad wire belt, where they

Johann Strauss. whose golden jubi-

his wife in the park at Schonan one
day, when suddenly the composer ex.
claimed, my dear, I have a waltz in
my head; quick, give me the inside of
a letter or AN envelope to write it
down before l forget it," Alas! after
much rummaging of pockets it was
discovered that neither of them had q
letter about them-not even trades
mans account. Johann Struss'
music is considered light, but it weighs
heavy as lead on his brain till he can
transfer it to paper. His despair was
heartrendering. At last a happy
thought struck Frau Strauss. She
held out q snowy linen cuff, and
Johann smiled. In two minutes it
was manuscript. Then its mate
shared the same fate, then Frau
Strauss collar, then-not another
scrap of starch linen on which to con-
clude the composition!. His own
linen was limp. colored calico-no
hope there. Johann became frantic.

entire finale was written on the bank
note, and then Johann Strauss re.

The average ghost or disembodied
spirit is most unpleasant thing, and
the Pittsburg Bulletin says that il
manifests its presence in a way to
irritate and exasperate rarely to serve
or to soothe, or to be anything useful
1t employs its energies in silly rap
pings, or breaking furniture, or simp.
ly soaring its victims in selfish and
reprehensible way.
But the ghost Of . Locport woman
recently deceased, is of a gentler and
less prankish nature. 1t only asked
through medium, that its late tene-
ment OF clay be buried in a grave
wholly its own. 1t rebelled at the
presence of another corpse in the
same place. Investigation showed
this to be the case. The stranger was
put elsewhere, and this sensible, il
fastidious, ghost was not heard from
again.

The Highest Bridge.

The highest bridge of any kind in
the world is said to be the Loe River
yiaduct, on the Antofagasta Railway.
The place where this greatest railway
structure has been erected is over the
Melo rapids in upper Andes, and be.
tween the two sides of a canyon
which is situated 10000 feet above the
level of the Pacific. Counting from
the surface of the stream to the level
OF the rails, this celebrated bridge is
exactly 6364 feet in height. The
length of the principal span is 80 feet
and the distance abutments (total
length of bridge) is SO2 feet. The
largest column is 3I4 feet and 2 inches
long, and the batter of the pier, what
is known to bridge builders as zone
in three" The gauge of the road i.
2 feet and 6 inches, and trains cross
the bridge at . speed of 80 miles an
hour.

The Pleasures OF Dying.

A Canadian physician has been
giving his experience OF the pleasures
of being frozen to death. His tongue
and then his arms became stiff, sharp
chills ran down his back, and finally
it seemed as though his whole body
had CONCEALED, causing an almost en-
tire cessation of the hearts action.
After this preliminary pain all the re-
naming sensations were pleasant,
chills giving place to genial warmth
and subsequently to an exhilerating
warmth, and finally he fell into de,
licious slumber, which was that of un-
consciousness and came near being the
sleep OF death.
am not able to say what the sen.
sation OF dying in such . manner may
be, but having once been taken from
the water apparently drowned, and
only restored to vitality after long
time and at much trouble, l know
what dying by drowning is. In my
case there was q sharp preliminary
pang caused by the hopelessness OF
my position, followed by the whole Of
my past life being instantaneously
flashed through the mind; then came
a dancing of lights in the eyes and a
tingling of bells in the ears, pleasant
visions of Elysium, and afterward
absolute Inconsistencies. Sickness,
disease and injuries to the frame,
which often precede and lead to
death, are unquestionably painful, but
the act Of dying is unaccompanied by
main.

A DOg Habit.

Have you ever thought why it is
that dog turns around and around
when he jumps up on his cushion or
starts to settle himself anywhere for a
nap? Now that you are reminded,
you can recall that you have seen a
dog do it many times, can't you?
This habit is about all that is left to
our tame little doggies of the days
long ago, when they were a race of
wild animals and lived in the woods.
Their beds then were matted grass
and leaves, and it was to trample
enough grass and properly arrange the
leaves that the dog always trod around
a narrow circle before he would lie
down. The dog of today keeps up
the same old habit, although there is
no longer any need for it, and OF course
the animal has no notion why he does

DEAD AS Door NAIL.-One often
hears, He's as dead as door nail"
yet it is probable that most of those
who use the phrase cannot tell why a
door nail should be any deader than
any other nail that is made of metal.
1t is explained, however, that the door
nail in earlier times was the plate on
the door upon which the old-fashioned
and now unused knocker" struck to
arouse the inmates OF the house. As
the plate or nail was struck many more
times than any other nail it was as
sumed to be deader than nail struck
only when driven into wood.
