and was most amusing, the audience
was kept in : roar Of laughter. ia
the first scene, be 10 an editor sit
ting in his gloomy and dusty
quarters, vainly attempting to
write funny things for tho KEY
STONE" He jumps up in despera-
ton and exclaims that 10 impossi-
BILE for him to get "a touch Of the
divine afflatus with such environ
ments," upsets tho coffee pot burns
the toast % we'll 40 his fingers, and
after finding ! family Of mice had
drowned themselves in his pitcher
of cream, flies around in q towering
rage and vows he'll have q wife be-
fore another sunset, and starts of
to London where girls" he saye,
"are as thick as blackberries in De-
cember," and that he'll buy the
best one for the price.
In the second scene the Bachelor
appears in the matrimonial market,
gotten up in q style regardless of
expense, swallow tail coat reach
ing to the ground. a high silk hat
set on the top of his bald pate,
patent-leather pumps and yellow
kids. Ed looked like an Anticipated
Beau Brummel. He buys little SAL
lie Waters (Gertie Wilson, for a
wife.
The third scene shows him wheel-
ing his wife home on q wheelbarrow.
Gertie looked very sweet sitting
there, holding a dainty sun-shade
over her fair little head.
The fourth scene reveals great
catastrophe. The newly-wedded
couple have had a spat, the wheel
barrow is upset and Sallie Waters is
running away as fast as her plump
little legs can carry her. The old
Bachelor INDUCES in a regular IT,
rade over the sudden termination
to his wedding tour, but finally ac-
cepts the situation philosophically
and congratulates himself on max
ing an escape from marital bondage.
It was laughable little comedy
and we'll played.
The WAND Drill" executed by
eight pretty Misses in gauzy cos
tunes brilliant with spangles, was
a beautiful sight. Mrs. G. F. Bradt
played an accompaniment on the
piano to which they kept perfect
time.
The "Good Night Drill by eight
little darlings with sleepy eyes,
was the sweetest thing on the pro-
gramme. In their pure white gowns
and dainty night caps, hugging fast
their dolls, candlestick in hand,
they sang q sweet lullaby, one by
one toddling off to bed, until only
frankie Wilson remained with her
little head dropping to one side
half asleep, making sweet picture.
The drill was an impressive and
perfect one, eliciting storm of APP
plause. This closed the perform
ance, after which the various booths
we're visited. The art gallery and
fish pond attracted much attention.
Through the investment of nickel,
each angler was entitled to q prize.
The postoffice was besieged for let
ers. White winged messengers of
love were flying in all directions.
The fancy bazaar and refreshment
tables came in for a large share of
patronage.
Miss Mary Foster was very sue
:essful as a teller of fortunes. It
vas all due to Miss Mary's engag-
ng manner. The young gentlemen
we're 80 beguiled that they could
lot resist and were ready to invest
,ven their last dollar in a fortune
old by a fair young lady.
About IL o'clock the floor was
cleared and q delightful dance fol-
owed, which was participated in
y nearly all who were present at
he performance.

exporters and made them take COIN
FACTS ABOUT LIGHT WEIGHT COIN.
In regard to lightweight coin which is such
disturbing feature for the gold exporters, the
following information about 1t is interesting
Full-weight coin weighs 26S IS ounces to a bag OF
$1,000. 1t passes full weight. however, until IL
loses Y Of l per cent of its weight 1t Is ac-
cepted at it's face value by the Treasury when 1t
Is worth 99k cents for every dollar. God ex-
pOrters, however, can only sell Ii abroad for
what 1t Is actually worth. and so lightweight
coin furnished by the Sub-Treasury is against
the shipper. This causes exporters to take out
more gold than they want in order to sort 1t and
weigh it, and pick out the full-weght coin.
In banking circles 1t is not thought likely that
the President will made a final appeal to Con-
gress for action rfelcy matters, but that
he will order the Secretary to make bond issue
at once What the bankers want Is a large loan
which will strengthen interest rates to such an
extent that there will be inducement for for
eign capital to be sent here.
"Dun's Review" for this week has this to say
about the situation:

commodities has again touched the lowest point

not increase, and strike has cut of for more

ZION at 705 o'clock last night. the robbers. who
were riding on the blind baggage car, clambered
the OF tender and made their way
toward Engineer Crowley. The latter happened to
turn his eyes toward the train and observed the
two figures they drew themselves up from the
toolbox at the rear Of the tender, and before he
could move from his seat his unexpected visitors
had shufied through the pile OF coal and were
covering both himself and his fireman with guns
Crowley was commanded TO stop the train in

the express car which was In charge OF J. W.
Massey. The door opened upon command, and
the messenger covered by the bandits

instantly covered with a revolver, and told not TO

BE SENT HOME.
The strike OF the motormen and conductors Of
the Brooklyn trolley lines is the wane. and
Brooklyn is gradually recovering from the shock
experienced nearly two weeks ago. when its trans
portation facilities were so seriously crippled.
Judge Gaynor's decision hung over the heads Of
the railway managers yesterday like the sword Of
Damocles. He listened yesterday to the argu.
ment Of counsel representing the conflicting in
terests. and to-day, probably, he will decide
whether the mandamus compelling the Brooklyn
Heights Company to run its full quota OF cars for
the accommodation Of the public shall be per-
emptory or alternate The decision will be await

The companies ran about 400 yesterday. as
against 300 on Thursday. Nearly all the lines
now in full or partial operation again. but on
some OF them opened this week the traffic does
not pay the wages of the motormen alone.
The running Of cars in Greenpoint was at

was also some disturbance in Maspeth
The strikers say that they In just good
shape as they have been at any time. and that
their prospects of bringing the companies to
terms are excellent
Mayor Schieren said yesterday that he re.

General McLeer said that he apprehended no
more serious violence.

sHypBUyLDIyG on THE GREAT LAKES.

Duluth Mimi. Jan. % tSpeciaD.-There are now
under contract at the shipyards OF the great lakes
for immediate construction so we'll assured that
they may be added to the list though not formally
placed the total OF thIrty-hve vessels. of total
tonnage OF 1900 tons. These vessels will cost In
round numbers the sum OF s4,5o000O. OF this number
all but twelve are for the carriage Of freight, two
being exclusively for oil. four for lumber and the
rest for the general grain and coal traffic or
the lakes In this list the proportion of wood YES
sells Is somewhat larger than for years there being
sixteen of this material nearly all being somewhat
smaller than the steel ships. though of what would
have been considered very large capacity few
years ago.
One Of the most surprising things in connection
with this list of ships under construction Is the
fact that only n month ago there were but nineteen
vessels in sight for immediate construction. OF a
total tonnage of 00 tons. and of cost of S2OoOoo
There are now vessels in sight for the opening
of the coming season of lake navigate '"" OF anv
time since the close of the great boom in lake ship
building after the remarkable years of 1887 1888 and
1850 That which caused the shrnkage of the years
since 1890 has been the reason for the Increase III he
present season The lake vessel owners see tnat
their margins of profits have been so reduced, ana
with the probability that there Will be no great
change for long time. that there is no opportunity
10 make any money except with the largest vessels
and of the most approved designs. Therefore IKE
