LAND of the Midnight Sum-" which
will be presented at the Opera House
next Monday night, January Sth, Is
spectacular romance OF Iceland, found
ed on the story of two brothers, who,
unknown to each other, cross 10 love
and war. These Icelanders are rugged,
savage characters, eminently fitted for
strong dramatic situations, and the
geographical location of the tale gives
opportunity for scenic set which, II not
entirely new, are at least rarity TO the
stage Mr.. Barbour. the author, &C

duced at the Opera House, with It's
wealth of scenic and mechanical effects,
tomorrow evening. The company is
said TO be the strongest which has ever
presented Paul Kauvar.

Mother Mantieibaum.

The most notorious female criminal, although perhaps not the most brutal and cruel, New York has ever known was Mother Mandelbaum. She became an almost national criminal character Romantic stories of crime were asso- ciated with her career. In one way it is a compliment to this queen of dishon- esty that she is to be represented upon the local stage by an actress who has gained wide repute for great power. In play of which much is expected Mme. Janauschek is to undertake to portray Mother Mandelbaum realistically. If she succeeds in suggesting to the audi ence the real Mandelbaum, Mime. Jan auschek will have won a triumph of the stage which, while it may not be so pleasing as some of her other successes, will perhaps be the longest remembered.

aHow would That Help Your.

Free coinage would make the silver mine owners rich. How would that help you?
 Fifty cent dollars will enable debtors to pay their creditors in depreciated money. As you are all honest citizen, how would that help you?
 The adoption of the silver standard, which is what the free coinage advocates really want, would drive 5000, 900, 900 of gold out of the country. How would that help you?
 Putting the country on silver basis would double the price of everything you buy. How would that help you? The first result of free coinage would be widespread panic, through the call ing in of loans by lenders who were afraid of cheap money. A panic means business depression, bankruptcy and poverty. How would that help you?
 The agitation for cheap money IS hampering trade and industry by mak- ing owners of idle capital afraid to in- vest their money in business. How does that help you?
 If you have money in the savings bank, or loaned out at interest, the val ue of your deposit or loan will under free silver be only half of what 1t IS now. How will that help you?
 Adopting the silver standard of China and India would unsettle our trade rela- tions with the leading commerclal na- tions, which are all gold standard coun- tries, and would diminish our foreign commerce. How would that help you!

Wcoed In the Wet.

Allen Lester Fowler, a South Sida Chicago society leader, is engaged to be married to Miss. Emma Gibson, an ex- tremely engaging young woman of 10 summers. The engagement is pretty sequel to the terrible experience Of Fowler, Miss Gibson, James Dalton and 8 boy on the lake recently.
 The party had started out for pleas ant sail, and when about five miles out on the lake sudden storm came up, and the boat was overturned. Fowler succeeded in getting Miss Gibson back on the upturned boat. He noticed that Miss Gibson was the coolest and least concerned of the party, and his adBlira- tion of her courage was unbounded.
 Miss Gibson, he said finally, "you are the pluckiest woman I ever met, and you are the only woman I would make my wife. I love you, and if we get out of this I want you to marry me. !"
 "That's bargain, wet feet and all, !" replied Miss Gibson.

Geese Object to Bloomer..

Two ladies from New York city who are stopping at summer resort down the Delaware river on the Jersey side took 2 spin on their wheels up the Penn sylvania side of the river as far as Mat amoras
 When about to enter the village a flock of geese attacked one of the young women, who wore blue boomers. Both women were riding slowly and did not notice the geese until nearly upon them. The geese tugged at the young lady's boomers with such force as to upset her, and it required the efforts of the small boys and her companion to drive them off. They remounted their wheels and went in the direction of Milford. = Philadelphia Press

Chang and Eng,s Descendants.

A few miles from Mount Airy, N. O., were the homes of the famous Sia- mese twins, Eng and Chang, who were born in Siam of Chinese parents in 1S11 These twins travelled all over the world in charge of their manager, Mir. Bunker, whose name they finally as sumed. They came at last into Surry county sightseeing. They declared that it was the grandest country they had ever seen, and having already made a decent fortune they decided to buy prop erty and settle permanently in Surry.
 They met and fell in love with Miss Adelaide Yates of Wilkes, an adjoining county. Miss Yates was i'll an awkward predicament, beloved by both, but neither could tell of his affection with out the other hearing it. Finally the matter was settled by Miss Sallie Yates, a sister of Miss Adelaide, consenting to become the bride of one and Miss Ade- laide the other. The parents of the Misses Yates strenuously objected to the double marriage, but the young ladies were not to be deterred, so they eloped. met their lovers on the bank of little stream on the roadside near their home, and, preacher being present, they were quietly married.
 The two couples settled within two miles of Mount Airy, and for several years lived together. Owing to domestic quarrels, however, two homes were found necessary, and each built a com fortable home. They lived alternate weeks at each others homes. and each raised large family of children. some of whom still live and are among the most prosperous aud highly respected people in Surry county.
 They were probably the most wonder fu1 of all human phenomena. They lived to an advanced age and were clever, law abiding men. It is said that they would sometimes have their little quarrels, and one would threaten to kick the other over the fence. In 1874 Eng, who had been in failing health, died very suddenly. Indeed, on awakening one morning his brother Chang found that Eng had died during the night Physicians were summoned, but before they arrived Chang had died, and they were buried as they had lived-side by side. --Flemingsburg Times-Democrat.
