difference before the lawful words are

The spectacular is again on the stage at
Xeith's Opera House, aud during this
weeks run OF the "Spider and Fly" the
many patrons will have good oppor-
tunity 70 observe the now familiar com
binntion OF the weird and the frivolous,
In which supple demons in snake skin
costumes and supple girls in tights play
She most conspicuous part.
1t Is good enough show, but not at all
free from limitations of better ones that
have long since been played out.
The story Is OF the alternating victories
OF a z ood and bad fairy with their vari-
Ous minions and the corresponding rise
and fall of the luck Of the mortgls in the
cast.
The cast is on the whole good
one and there are some bright
songs and clever specialties. The Borani
brothers as demons introduce an exhibit
tion of contortion which easily ranks as
tie best feature OF the show, not Decause
It is a wonderful twisting OF the body par
ticularly, but because 1t is the very best OF
Its sort.
James A. Herman and Steve Cory fur
nish the comedy and their antics are al
ways laughable, and Miss Anna Suits
who in the cast is an English lord with
out much TO do, gets an excellent oppor-
tunity, when she appears alone in charac-
Ger songs and dances, to show that she is
gooa siuger and a very bright enter
tainer.
NJ. DE Bessell relieves the jokes and
high kicking temporarily by an interest
ing exhibition Of quick modelling in clay
which was thoroughly appreciated by the
down stairs and the up stairs portions Of
the audience.
The scenery Is ofthe dazzling spectacular
variety and presents rapid changes, from
goblin haunted caverns TO fairy grottoes
and submarine promenades.
"Spidor and Fly" will be at Keith's
throughout the week, with the usual
matinees.

The play ends with a suicide, merci-

Mrs. Tanqueray' Is an especially strong
play for these distinguished players. The
foolish and weak husband is entirely
within the scope of Mr.. Kendars
histrionic ability and he plays IL with re-
poscful dignity and thoroughness. Mrs.
Kendall makes Paula a shallow Dated, ex-
|nsperating, reformed prostitute, with
hardly q redeemiug feature. The char
acter calls for that sort of thing
and therein is Mrs. Kendall a consum
mate artist. She plays Paula almost per-
fectly and her art and skill are delightful.

those who love high class acting regard

Everyone knows that such social condi-

profitable.
There is q satisfaction in knowing that

The Kansas City, Kan, crossing fight
between the Missouri Pacific and tha
Union Pacific railways and the Kansas
City Terminal association is amicably
settled. Attorneys representing the diff
ferent interests mot with Judge San
born, of the United States court at St.
Louis and agreed to compromise mat
tiers. As result it is announced that
the crossings of the Terminal associa-
tion will be elevated and not built upon
grade, as was intended.
Capital: A case decided in the su-
prems court settles long dispute
between Hannah Richie ct al OF To-
peka, aud the X. n. & d., branch of
the Missouri Pacific railway. The
branch of the road extends from To-
peka to Fort Scott and the suit re-

switches and other buildings are located.
The decision of the Shawnee county

souri, Pacific. by this decision in the su-

1t is found noteworthy by the French
newspapers that President Faure Is the
first of the series of presidents to
smoke. Theirs never smoked. Mac
Mahon had given up tobacco before his
ELECTION. So had Grevy. Neither Car
not nor Casimir-Perier used q pipe.
Much interest is found also in looking
up the past of President Faure There
is not trace of aristocracy about him.
His father was journeyman carpenter
and married his employers daughter.
He rose to be a chairmaker. The Presi-
dent himself learned tanning. He in
herited enough money from his father
and a stepmother, his own mother dy-
ing in his infancy, to set up a small
business for himself at Havre. Some
of the Paris newspapers are keeping
tally on the nicknames given the tanner
president. Most of them are incapable
Of translation or unfit to translate
Unlike his predecessor, Faure is said
to take all banter, even the malicious,
good naturally and nobody will 60 to
Jail or be fined on his account If
epithets be the only offense.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

Or the Millionaire's Regrets for the
Farm He Let Go for Song.
1t was summertime. The Office Win
dows were open. The old millionaire
had come up to confer with his lawyer,
and had been told he could now fore
close his mortgage on fine and covet-
ed corner for song. He therefore felt
at peace with all the world. and he
wished that everybody might Danish
uncharitable and sordid thoughts and
be Of good cheer He took off his hat
and wiped his brow.
81 am thinking of going out into the
country. he said. speaking in a Find
tone Of that humble region. II like the
country. We don't really know what
life is here. often wish I were back.
I had farm before 1 came to town
about 900 acres-as pretty land as ever
laid outdoors high, rolling. sandy
loan; oh! fine pasture. plenty of woods
and running spring right on the place-
never went dry the dryest season. and
magnificent orchard. set out about
ten acres all to grated fruit before I
sold, and Looked to SEEM 'cm bear-I
could have sold ev'ry bari of apples for
50 right on the ground.
"But sOld-I sold. Yes, sir; 1 sold
that 500 acres-$SO an acre, and came
here and put every dollar into corners
OF course. hitting it just the time did.
the money has turned itself a good
many times: but l don't know; 1 often
wish l hadn't sold the old farm. l
sold it to my brOther-in-law for $50 IN
acre. That was twenty years ago, and
l don't suppose he could set $40 an acre
now
Here the silent repiner engaged in 81
lent thought of his brOther-in-law
pounding clods on the deprecated farm,
and became suffused with such joy
that. as he rose and put on his hat, he
seemed like a statue of Ecstasy. NO"
sir; don't suppose he could get $40.
Fine farm, too."-Puck.
