LIFE IN
A Citizen Who Was Robbed Three
Times in One Night.

Times in One Night.
George Andrews, Chicago's expert
swordsman and c%avalryman and a So
ciety swell, has made up his mind that
he Is both unfortunate and unsophis-
ticated. He assisted recently at an
amateur circus given by the 400. But
when he started home his troubles be-
gan. After leaving the cable car he
had to walk five blocks, and he found
the journey decidedly eventful. First
he encountered the barrel Of a revolver
held in close proximity to his nose.
THE man behind the gun" was. in
this case. a determined looking fellow,
and Mr.. Andrews made haste to obey
the command Throw up your hands"
Then another burly ruffian came from
the shadow of a tree and with a deX-
terity born of long experience rifad
the victims pockets. Only the pitiful
sum Of $1.2O was found, and, aftelt be-
ing severely reprimanded by the high
wayman for his carelessness in not
having more, Andrews was allowed to
proceed. He ran two blocks further.
chuckling to himself over the fact that
the two Jack Sheppards had failed to
f1Eh 81 in money and a goli catch
which he had concealed in his inside
pocket. But just when his mirth was
at the highest top notch, his eye fell
on three individuals, w~hoseA'aces were
partly concealed in muflers. Hand
over the dust" said they, and Mr.. An
drews felt constrained to comply with
this modest request. Thu. went the 81
and the gold watch, and then Andrews
was allowed to depart in peace. Over
whelmed by his double misfortune, he
fastened home and went ~ bed, in
tending to report his loss to the police
in the morning. But when morning
dawned and he reached out his hand
for his clothing, horror filed his soul.
Some n had broken into Andrews
house during the night and stolen all
the clothing he possessed. In order to
get down town to business he was
compelled to borrow a suit from a
neighbor. Two hold-ups and a burg
larry in one night make a pretty lively
record even for Chicago.-Troy Times.

Novel ExOerimcnts.

Two moved experiments are now be-
ing tried in this country, n Of which
is connectedwith the use of compressed
hay for paving. The dry grass is
pressed into cubes under a heavy pres
sure in a hay press, and is then cut Into
paving blocks of suitable size. These
are then soaked in a drying oil, which
is claimed to render them indestructi-
Bile. Another invention involves the
coking of dry Goals. The principle of
the device is to bring about certain
changes in the constitution of non
coking Goals by heating them, under
pressure at a low temperature. which
imparts the property of coking. The
coal is then cooked under the ordinary
process. The coal is prepared for the
process by being reduced to a suitable
degree of %fineness.

Travelled 5000 Miles to Dine.

They are telling Of a Lady in New
York, who on a visit to London some
time ago, refused an offer of marriage
from a young Englishman. On her re-
turn to this country she married one Of
her own countrymen. Recently she
gave a dinner and thought 1t would
be a graceful compliment to send an
invitation to her former admirer in
London. She was amazed when he
presented himself on the evening Of
the dinner, but this was nothing to her
surprise when she subsequently learn
ed that he had departed the following
day for England, having taken the
journey Of nearly 5000 miles appar-
emily to show that he could not be out
done in the compliment business

jim Corbett Billed fori
Next Week.

During the past several weeks there
has been gratifying increase in the at
tendance at the theaterS. 1t IS due no
doubt to the fact that the managers are
catering to the public taste instead OF
their own ideas. While it is more than
likely that a theatrical manager knows
more about the merit and dramatic eX-
cellence of The attractions on the road
than the average citizen, still the aver
age citizen knows what he wants and
he is not going to pay his money for
something he does not want, no matter
what the managers know about plays
and players.
The managers are aware or ms, ana
are booking their attractions accord
ingly. Instead Of going to needless eN-
pense and waste Of time to educate the
public taste, they are endeaVorlng to
please the taste that exists, and III this
endeavor they are receiving, and VIII
continue to receive the cordial co-opera-
ton of The public. The people OF St.
? are partial 10 light class Of enter
tainment, and care little for heavy
drama. A good, fresh, legitimate COM
edy suits them nicely one night
and the following night they are
pleased to laugh at the absurdities of
the farce in which all the fads of the day
are displayed and the English language
is butchered to suit the fancy. An. &C.
casional society drama does very nicely,
and once in while the tragedy meets
their approval, if in competent hands.
They are discriminating, these people
of the Northwest. What they want,
they want we'll done. The managers
here have studied the wants of the peo-
pie, and the result of their efforts is
shown by the increase in the receipts at
the box offices.

The concert will perhaps be the
first one of its kind ever
given here, inasmuch as only compo-
sitionS by Mr.. Bruenner will be pro-

number, it is understood, will be an
overture for complete orchestra. which
will be under the direction OF Director
George Sebert. The Beethoven String
quartette will play selection, the I'M

fact, none but strictly tirst-class art
lists. such as Miss A. Campbell, the
well-knoWn contralto; Prof. Madeira,
the baritone; Mr.. Heating, the tenor,
and several others. have rendered their
services for the occasion.
Next Easter morning will also witt

mas, upon which the talented young
artist is engaged. The work will be
given by his own augmented choir of
fifty voices, in addition to Mr.. Seibert's
orchestra, in st. Matthew's church, on

from indications, it promises to be all
elaborate affair.
