As tho train containing the annual
picnic of the Universal Association Of
Chicago Drummers rolled into the rail
road station the man at the cigar counter
coolly took all the 1.-TWO for quarter"
signs off his stock and replaced them
with ones reading $50 cents each. He
put 80 cent signs also on his cent
cigars and likewise ON his 10 cent
cigars. With look of innocence ON his
face he awaited the rush.
"Holy smokep' exclaimed the Chica-
go drummers. Haven't you got any
lower priced cigars than that?"
"Not one," replied the cigar man.
"The New York drummers' convention
passed up the road an hour ago. They
knew you were coming, and they said
they'd play a joke ON you and leave you
without anything to smoke, and they
bought every cigar had except the so
cent ones. I told them that there WASH t
much of a joke in it if they left those,
because you'd buy 'em, and then they
all looked at each other and burst ont
laughing. One of them said, Not much
they won't. Another said, Il guess not,
and the rest swore that Chicago drum
mer would drop dead if he smoked 80
cent cigar.
Certainly, gentlemen, spoke up the
dealer. EASY, please. can't serve you
all at once. Yes, sir; how many? Take
box? Yes, sir. And you? One dozen?
Never mind the change, did you say?
All right. Don't push so, please. I'll
serve you all. "
When they had departed, the cigar
dealer looked complacently at his depict
ed case and observed: 81 ought to know
how to play on Chicago mans feel
ings, oughtn't I? am Chicago man
myself. New York Herald.

A Narrow Escape.

DR.. Millington met with an accident
yesterday afternoon that came near
being serious. The doctor was driv-
ing down the river road to Winhall
station and had taken in with him a
young girl, a Miss johnson, who re-
sides on the Landman place, and was
driving along easily at point in the
road closely skirting the river bank,
just below Solon Underwood's, when
his horse, a colt, became suddenly
frightened at q woodchuck scrambling
up the bank, wheeled and jumped
over the rotten log, the only fender,
and went down the bank some u feet
into the river, the buggy and occu-
pants on top of him. Miss Johnson
slid over the horse and into the wa
ter fortunately escaping injury aside
from wetting. The doctor got
tangled in the buggy and with diff
Guilty extricated himself, having in
the mean time to look out for the
horses heels, the animal making vio-
lent exertions to free himself and to
keep bis head out of the water. In
this he fnaHy succeeded, coming out
with a badly barked leg that he feels
quite severely this morning. Help
was obtained and the horse got out
without serious injury but the buggy
suffered many fractures and disloca-
tions. Altogether it was narrow
escape.

AT O'BRIEN'S.

A tremendous audience greeted the first appearance in this city of Scott Mar
 ble's great comedy drama "Down In Dixie" at O'Briens. The play is of a character which pleases. The plot is easy to follow, the situations are pleasing and the climaxes startling and realistic. The
 story is simply this: A son of wealthy Georgia planter is in love with pure un- sophisticated southern country girl, and
 the love is mutual. The young girl has won the unsolicited love of the overseer, and he, finding himself obnoxious to the girl, becomes desperate and determines
 to wreak vengeance through his em-
 ployer's son. Another villain, in the
 shape of brother of the wealthy plant CTS wife's first husband, comes upon the
 scene and the two combine to hatch out a most dabolcal plot against the entire family. Two faithful old negroes and
 country squire, assisted by a gang of
 genuine pickaninnies, furnish the come
 dy. There is a desperate leap by the country girl and a compress scene to add
 to all the other interesting points in the
 play and two young people aid the princi- pal lovers in the courting scenes.
 The cast is remarkably strong, in fact
 far above the average, and it is doubtful if a better selected one will appear at O 'Brien's this season.
 Miss Nina Hayward assumed the role pI lue HeIOlHe, heDISld Ildie, anu hs 1 southern, untutored rose was a success.
 Beautiful, of pleasing address and mis- tress of the southern twang, besides be-
 ing an able actress, she was decidedly well placed.
 Frank Walcott as Jack Calhoun, in love with Georgia, was capital, and won favor from those in the audience capable of apprecatng his worth as an actor. Mack Charles and Albert w. Moore were the williams, and were very good in their roles.
 Maurice Pike filled the bill as a coun- try squire, who never worked since nor "befo de wah."
 Milt G. Barlow, of minstrel fame, as- sisted by his wife, were great as the two faithful old servants in black, and Mrs. Barlow. by her superb dancing, caught all parts of the house.
 The others in the cast were decidedly clever, and as a whole gave an excellent performance.
 The pickaninnies were in the perform
 ance and added to the pleasure of the evening in a great measure. MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will be seen
 all of next week with Mckee Rankin and an excellent company in repertoire

COALBURG IS IMPROVING.
Only Two Deaths in August-The Prison Fu-
 migated,


 migated.
 Dr. Jerome Cochrane, state health of ficer, and Dr. Judson Davie, member of the board of convict inspectors, finished their inspection and Immigration of the prison at Coalburg yesterday and today they will fumigate the hospital at that place.
 Dr. Davie stated to an Age-Herald re- porter last night that very little sickness existed at Coalburg at present. and es- pecially was there a marked decrease of deaths.
 The average for the past seVeral months prior to August, he said, was nine deaths per month, whereas for the present month only two deaths have oc- cured among the prisoners. This, he said was due principally to the fact that the SlosS company now have an agree ment by which all prisoners unable to do the work required of them in the mines are sent to Speigner's, or to the pententiary at Wetumpka, the company paying the state so much per month per head, to take care of them. By this means only healthy men were left in the prisons and required to work. great many convicts are broken down in health when sent to the mines, said the doctor and that they sicken and die is not due solely to the condition of the prison.
 The prison has been given a thorough fumigation, bichlorde of mercury being used, and today the hospital will undergo the same.
