The next attraction at the Seattle thea
ter win be John T. Kelly, the inimitable
Irish comedian, in his own farce comedy,
melee Of Dublin" piece which made
favorable impression hero last year.
There is coherent story in Melee of
Dublin" which il more than can be said
of many farce comedies, and the humor
arises from the dramatic situation, and
not from buffoonery and slap stick per.
formances. Mr.. Kelly is one'of those unc-
;ious fun makers that are funny because
they cannot help it. He appears to enjoy
his work. and the consequence is tina; 1t
is perfectly natural, and therefore all the
more artistic His brogve 10 perfect and
comes trippingly from Els tongue, while
his laughter is infectious and makes every
one Join with him in spite of himself He
has good company, including Adelaide
Randall. of comic opera fame: Aimee An
geles. a clever soubre,te; Harry Kelly. .
natural born comedian. with a nimble
pair of heels and good singing voice.
and others. Melee of Dublin" is pre-
scented with special scenery and the cos
tunes are all new and bright.

STANDARD AND LOCAL TIME.

Geographical Local OF the Five Lon
Ritudinal Belts in This Country.
With the enormous increase Of rail
way travelling the necessity arose for
inventing some method of counting
time which should avoid the compiler
tons arising from the use Of local
mean time, which varies with every
mile of east or west travel. What is
known as the new standard time"
was adopted by agreement by all the
principal railroads of the United States
at - o'clock, noon, on Nov. Is, 1888.
The system. says the Detroit Free
Press, divides the continent into five
longitudinal belts and fixes meridian
of time for each belt. These meridians
are fifteen degrees of longitude, CORES
ponding to one hour of time, apart
Eastern Maine, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia use the Goth meridian;
the Canadas, New, England, the Mid
die states, Virginia and the Carolinas
use the 10th meridian, which is thataof
Philadelphia; the states of the Missis-
sippi valley, Alabama, Georgia and
Florida, and westward, including Tex
as, Kansas and the larger part of Ne
braska and Dakota, use the Goth merid-
ian. which is that Of New Orleans.
The territories to the western border
OF Arizona and Montana go by the time
| OF the 1O5th meridian, which is that of
/ Denver, and the Pacific states employ
the 12Oth meridian. The time divisions
gre known as interco lonial time, noun
tain time and Pacific time A traveller
passing from one time belt to another
will find his watch an hour fast or
too slow, according to the direction in
which he is: going. All points in any
TING division using the time of the
meridaan must set their timepieces fast
er or slower than the time indicated;
by the sun, according as their position
is east or west OF the line. This change
Of system reduced the time standards
used by the railroads from fifty three
to five q great convenience to the
railroads and the travelling public.

fool. nor the biggest and neither Of
you ever served in the ranks or you'd
have learned some things that aren't
taught at West Point War turns
everything upside down. Robbery be-
comes justice, waste becomes true
economy, cruelty becomes true kind
ness, dishonesty is the best policy, and
reas enable common sense it--folly."
Shall / try to have the order with
drawn?''
80, no. Let it die natural death.
We may be in the deep woods to-
morrow night and come upon the en-
envy next day. But one thing you may
do, and that is to make yourself square
again with our boys, You ought to
be able to stand a little chaff without
getting mad.
Should / apologize p
~ ell--after a fashion, yes. Turn
it off with joke somehow. You're
just the kind Of a man to do that
kind Of thing up just right
AS / thankfully wrung his hand,
a thought struck me; a new joke on
the same line with the old. My COM
rades were sitting and lying in the
starlit darkness outside, their places
being best marked by the glow Of
their pipes. I said to them:
'sBoys, / was wrong, and I apollo
gize- especially to you lieutenant.
The colonel just told me I ought to
stand chaf without losing my temper;
but know what he meant. He should
have said / ought to learn to take a
little railing without taking offense."
i A loud guffaw followed and a gen
eral nandshake made all right again.
We never had another tiff, and al
though we saw many a day without
any supper at all there never was one
belated by too tender consideration
for fence-rails.
1 Can it be almost thirty-three years
ago? So says the almanac, and SO
says the diminishing array at our an.
nual reunions. Only nine Of us last
time out of our old thirty-three. Tween:
ty-four gone, whose graves somebody
will decorate, as I hope somebody
else will do for mine in its turn.
