ARABIAN NIGHTS.
Presented to Only Fair Sized Aud
lence at the Opera House


a small house was out last night
10 greet the Mckee Rankin Com
pany, in Arabian Nights. The
action of the entire play passes in
the parlors of Mr.. Arthur Hum
mingtop who is supposed to be a
very meek man, and one who keeps
IN the bounds of the conventional
tiles OF a polite moral life. He was
also a much married man-having,
as ne stated, not only married his
Wlte, but his mother-in-law as also
Q dude brother-in-law. The play
opens where his wife is off for a
months visit and she being gone
and the mother-in-law keeps such
a watch on him that he locks him
self in his room and reads. The
book he happens on is the Arabian
Nights aud he picks out a character
"a prince, who DISCUSSES, and goes
out and does deeds of charity and
gives words of cheer to the sorrow
tul Now to pass away time, he
gets a disguise and starts out on a
prowl of this kind. He meets a
discharged circus girl, Rosa Colum-
bier, Rosa is pretty and cute and
lulI OF Amcricanisms of the Bowery
kind He takes her to her
home, as she claimed to be lost, and
calls her my child, in an endear-
lag way, and ties his handkerchief
about her throat, to keep out the
log, etc, This would have been
all right, had it stopped here, but
bis mother-in-law got on to it, as
she also found letters in his pocket
which were signed Rosa" to
Papa" stating that she would
make Hummingtop a visit. She
came and would not leave, and here
is where Hummingtop told his first
lie, which, during the play, caused
him 10 tell many more, in order to
make his first lie stick. Many
other characters were introduced
during the play, and the denoue-
nent came around alright aud even
the mother-in-law forgave poor
Fiummingtop for the many, many

Invertebrate Americans.

Why should the people of this coun-
try toady to the old world socially?
Why should we not develop social
usages of our own, as refined and
gracious as those of the old world
and adapted to the free and equal cit1-
zens of republic? So long as we copy,
apelike, both the clothes and customs OF
European society we by that admit that
we are inferior to the people of Europe.
In nothing is this blind subserviency
to old world social notions more mani
fest than on the occasions when a for
eign nobleman purchases an American
wife, 1t is the custom for man who
thus buys title for his daughter in
Europe to settle large sum on the hus-
band. That is what the count or mar
uuis stoops down from his alleged high
station and takes the plain citizen S
daughter for. 1t is the custom there
for her to have a dowry when she
takes husband, and the dowry is
often the chief inducement to the
man. 1t is the practice in America
for a man to be manly enough to take
a woman for herself alone, willing
and glad for the sake of his affec-
ton for her to trust to his good right
hand to support her and himself too
Why should there be any change to suit
foreigners? Why, when foreign roue
asks the hand of an American girl,
should not her sturdy citizen father an
swer: SIT is not the custom in the Unit
ed States for brides to have dowries. 1t
is considered unmanly for husband to
allow himself to be supported by his
wife's money. If you take my daugh-
ter, you take her without a cent" IT
Americans had backbone enough to
stand up like that, we should see--well,
many million dollars that now go ont
of this country as the dowries of brides
bought with title would remain in it,
that is all.

DR.. Eugene Dubois, Dutch army
surgeon at Batavia, Java, is sure he has
found the missing link in that island.
He has unearthed the partial remains of
three skeletons that seem to fill all re-
nuirements of the link Tt is interesting
to note that the remains were found in
the strata of the quaternary age, the one
considered by biologists to immediately
precede the appearance of man on the
earth. The skull of the skeletons found
is about two-thirds the size Of the
human skull today. The teeth are
less apelike than those of the simian
tribes. The thigh bones are distinctly
like those Of mankind and show that
the missing link walked erect, which is
more than some of the human race do
today. The skeletons are clearly between
that of man and the higher ape, but
more human than apelike. This is very
interesting information. 1t may be sub
mitted without offense, however, that
the missing link is by no means SO IN
common that one has to travel to Java
to find it.

When we want anything 0one care
fully, conscientiously and in a thorough
and scholarly way, we must go to the
Germans. A statistician who complies
figures for the German government has
been laboring three years to find whether
one day of the seven in week was real
ly more unluoky than another. He dis
covers that there is an unlucky day and
that it is not Friday at all, but Monday.
More mishaps have occurred then than
on any other day. He is right Has not
'blue Monday" passed into a proverb?
Who that writes for newspapers for a
living, for instance, does not find it
harder to get down to work on Monday
than on any other morning? Everybody
is tempted to sit up late and enjoy social
pleasures and also the pleasures of eat
ing and drinking on Sunday night. But
social pleas ures prolonged into the night
hours are ruinous to good work. Who
does not know it? The German statis-
tician has won his case. Monday is the
unlucky day.

"The disgraceful act of congress in vot-

hire, but which really goes into the
pockets of the members, is enough to
disgust every honest m4n--in this conn

from Maine to California. The last
chance for most of the members pre-
sented itself to gouge the people, and
they made good use of it. 1t is pleas
ure to know that many of them will soon
seek that oblivion from which they will
never be resurrected again."
