The most noteworthy feature of the
safe robbing exhibition given in the
play of "The Stowaway" by the re-
formed burglars Spike Hennessey
and kid" Mccoy. who will be seen
in that great play when it comes to
this city shortly, is the workmanlike
manner, in which they go about their
work. They conduct their operations
with the care and precision that skill
ed artisans employ in any kind
of delicate work, and although they
work with swiftness, they run no risk
of spelling the job by nervous haste.
Burglars doubtless look much like
other men. This fact, however, can
rot be established by public view of
the two ''Stowaway'' cracksinen, for
they prefer to wear their masks while
on the stage. Although reformed,
they are ashamed Of their former
burglaristic exploits. Their reason
for being honest is the fact that they
have found honesty more profitable
and less dangerous than crookedness.
The amount they received from their
managers is much greater than the
most successful burglars have ever
succeeded in stealing in the same
time. Burglars have some big hauls,
but many failures. Central Opera

down near the engine house when
the Confederates had nearly forced
their way TO the river, and he heard
the prisoners in that structure yell
out to their friends across the river to
hurry over and release them, among

ENGLISH SPORTING LITERATURE

About One-Sixth of the English Periodi- calls Are Devoted to Sport.
 It may give some idea of the place of sport in English life to the sedentary American to say that.,i difficult to find an Englishman between IS and 65, in fair health and not supported by the rates, who is not a performer at some kind of sport or interested in some phase of it. Of the 673 reviews and magazines of a nonreligious character printed in England, says the Forum, one in six is largely devoted to some form of out-of-door sport or occupation
 Between 1880 and 1885, according to private index kept in the British mu- scum, there were 266 books published on the one subject of sport or athletics; between 1885 and 1890, 412, and, al- though the figures for the last five years are not at hand, the number of books on the same subjects promises to be even larger, almost forty books on golf alone appearing during the last five years. Nor does this list include books on topics germain to the subject, such as books dealing with voyages, geography, history, biography and trade, of which there were 73s pub lished in London in 1893, and probably more than a thousand during the last year.
 In word, John Bull loves the fresh air. He is sportsman, an athlete, soldier, sailor, traveller, a colonist, rather than student, and all the fig ures bear me out in making the state ment. During those horrible days in the Crimea, these sport-loving young barbarians" were ''all at play when they were not fighting; racing their ponies, getting up cricket matches, and off shooting such game as there was. One fainily-the Pelhams-have hunted the Brocklesby pack of hounds for more than 175 years.

Fight Between Otter and Hawk.

The Berlin correspondent of the Lon don Standard writes that a strange con- fict was observed the other day by fishermen on the Frische Half, near Konigsberg, in east Prussia. For some time they had noticed two otters which had ventured on to the ice. As they were watching them, large hawk came flying from neighboring forest and alighted on the ice not far from the otters- Soon, however, it scared into the air again, swooped down like lightning on one of the otters, and stuck it's claws into it's back. The other otter fled. A desperate fight en- sued. It lasted ten minutes, and ended in the death of the hawk. Its neck was bitten through, only thin strip of skin remaining to unite it's body with it's head. After it's victory the otter dived into the water
 Wby They Separated.
 The late Lord Orford was one of the most aristocratic ornaments of the British pcerage and the following ac- count of his separation from Lady Or ford, as told by Truth, is accordingly interesting: Both explained to me the reason.

Shortly after their marriage, according to Lord Orford, her ladyship came down to breal1fast without hay ing washed her hands and took some Jumps of sugar out of the bowl with her fingers, On which he requested her in future either to wash her hands or to use the sugar-tongs.

Members Practicing For the Coming
 Tournament.

The interest in the coming tourna- ment of the Phoenix Gun club is in creasing rapidly as the time draws near for the contest. AS evidence of what our local club is doing is the at tendance and averages at the practice shoot at the club grounds on Christ mas morning. There was quite a number of the boys out among whom were T. w. Hine, JsH. Holmes, Henry Fowler and Fred Scofeld-the four who will probably form the team ito de- fend the big diamond badge in the coming shoot
 Fowler particularly distinguished himsef this time by running his score up above any yet made on the grounds flor the same number of birds. and making mark that will not be topped very soon.
 Hlne, Scof1eld and Holmes also shot in good form, and if our boys loose their badge this time, the winners will have to get up very early and put their shooting clothes on at the start.
 IL. Fowler, M. B. Cox, Will l: Cox, B. Gregory, Capt. iPoyen, MT. Kimball and J. w. Graham were also shooting dnu Sone very good scores were made by them, and it is safe ito say they will be heard from when the purses are di- vided. ...--,s
