Bevis. Bevis is condemned 10 die at
daybresk. Then, after a thrilling battle
scene. the English soldiers rout the Beers
and release Bevis, Marks and the women,
after one OF the most realistic explosions
ever seen on the stage.
There are twenty-six speaking parts in
the drama, and fully one hundred per-
sons are engaged on the stage, in addi-
tion to twelve thoroughbred horses and q
pack of hounds. These are used in the
hunting and battle scenes.
The cast includes, Joseph Grismer,
Miss Phoebe Davis, Hardee Kirkland,
MISS Bebe Vining, Miss Airline Athens,
G. Jay Williams, Clarence Ferguson.
others.
The scenery, a most potent factor in
the production, Is the Joint work OF
John A.. Thompson, Harley Merry and J.
II. Wilkins.

Most Determined Negative

Miss Mollfe Elliott SeawelI has a
sketch Of Paul Jones" in the Century.
She quotes portion Of Jones' own ac-
count Of the battle between the Bon
Homme Richard and the Scraps:
II directed the fire of one of the
three Cannon against mainmast With
double-headed Shot, While the other
two Were exceeding well served with
grape and Canister shot to Silence
the Enemies musquetry and clear her
Decks, which was ut last effected. the
Enemy Were, as / have since under
stood, on the instant Of Calling for
quarter, When the cowardise or treach-
cry Of three of my under officers in
duced them to call to the Enemy, the
English Commodore asked me If de-
manded quarter, and 1 having an
swered him in the most determined neg
alive, they renewed the battle with re-
doubled fury"
mined negative" was the celebrated
answer that will ever mark him as one
Of the bravest Of the brave. The two
ships, lying head and stern, enveloped
in smoke as they repeatedly caught fire
from each other, and neither one in
den and awful silence ensued. Pres
emily a call came from the Scraps:
"Have you struck" to which Paul
Jones answered.: II have not yet be-
gun to fight"

Judge Ross. Of the United States Cir
cult Court of California, has decided
that the government cannot bring suit
against the Leland Stanford estate to
recover the money loaned to him and
the other big Four" stockholders OF
the Central Pacific road. The judge
admits they got the money, or bonds,
and that "the acceptance of the bonds
was an implied act Of the stockholders
to pay them" But he says there was
no explicit unqualified provision for re-
payment And then the judge goes on
to say that "the government had no in
tention Of making these men individu-
ally responsible" Acting on that as
sumption, he holds that the general
government cannot sue the men who
took its money. The tone Of the judges
decision is not satisfactory one, and
his sympathies seem to be enlisted on
the side Of the defendant On every
doubtful point he rules in favor Of the
latter and against the government.

A MAMMOTH B. & O. ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE.

built In the form Of double cab of
symmetrical form and constructed
with the object Of running either way.
On one end of the locomotive Is bell
and on the other a compressed air whis-
tie operated from the same reservoir
which supplies the air brakes. This
reservoir Is kept filed with air at the
proper pressure by a separate motor
which works automatically, stopping
when the proper pressure is attained
and starting again when 1t diminishes.
There are four motors, one to each
axle. They are the largest railway mo-
tors In the world. They are rated at
B6O-horse-power each, and require nor
mally 900 amperes Of current to oper-
ate them. They are pyramidal in shape
and have six poles and six brushes, and
are gearless. They rest upon cross
bars, hung upon springs upon the side
frames Of the truck. The armature of
the motor is not mounted upon the axle
itself, but upon a sleeve through which
the axle passes. When the current is
turned into the motor the armature
revolves and communicates its motion
to the wheel by novel method. .Shrunk
on to the ends of the sleeve is. cast
steel star, each arm of which carries
two cushions of rubber. In each wheel
are receptacles into which these arms
are pressed. AS the armature rotates,
the arms Of the star revolve and the
wheels on the axles are propelled for
ward. This method Of suspension al
lows the armature to revolve freely and
adjust itself to any unevenness of the
track.

The Standard: How Il It that such
extraordinary stories get into circula-
tionl DIR. John Hall. Of New York,
has been obliged to correct. In q pub
lished letter. one OF the stories repre-
senting him as a millionaire In real
estate holdings. as having an income
Of over $4,000. and as receiving In
marriage fees alone not less than $780,
600 yearly. AS to the last item, he says
II Is more than he has received In
marriage fees during the forty-six
years of his ministry. AS to the real
estate property, he recently offered to
friend as a gift $500, 900 Of 1t II he
could find 1t. The amount of salary
attributed to him-from 1900 to $780,
000--is absurdly beyond the reality.
This is just sample of the stories
which get into circulation-who can
tell how? Has reckless newspaper re-
porting any share in the matter?

Bolivia the other day presented Al

Bolivia the other day presented an
ultimatum to Peru for a violation Of
territory during the latter's recent rev.
olution. Peru promptly refused to
apologize, and now there Is a prospect
Of war, the purpose of Bolivia being
to get back one or two of her old prov
inces now held by Peru and shutting
her out from the seacoast If the war
We're confined to Peru and Bolivia, 1t
would not be much of a struggle. Peru
has had no navy since her war with
Chile, and four or five thousand men
are all that either Of the belligerents
could muster in case of war. The stu
alton, however, Is a very contagious
one. War spreads in South America
easily and rapidly. 1t is already re-
ported that Ecuador has made an ALI
ance with Bolivia. There Is a posi-
bility that Chile may also side with
Bolivia, and in that case Argentina
would certainly side with Peru. As
Brazil is not on good terms with Ar
gentina, she might take hand in also.
What the outcome Of such Kilkenny
fight would be no one can say.

OId.Fashioned Wives.

A pretty young married woman said
In our hearing the other day:
Lorraine is such an old-fashicned
wife"
"And what" we queried, 'do you
mean by thatY"
"Oh," laughed the gay little matron,
"such queer notions about her duty to
her husband and home. Why, she de-
clines all invitations unless he is in
cluded, and never, under any circum-
stances, is away from home when he
returns at night. Then she always gets
up to breakfast with him, and even
goes so far as to prepare herself certain
favorite dishes for him, instead of leav-
ing such business to the cook. She
doesn't go away In the summer until he
is able to go, too, and, in fact, she fuses
over him In the most absurd fashion"
After the pretty creature had vanish
ed to join party Of friends at dinner
a reflective mood stole over us, and in
the twilight we thought how much hap
pier many a household would be IL there
were more old-fashioned wives instead
of the type which we had just had a
chance to study.-Philadelphia Times.

Cochineal Culture.

The cochineal insect resembles moth
ing more nearly than black currant,
and has little more animation than one;
but the bright carmine or lake exuda-
ton from his body, which serves him
for blood and us for dye, is a better
color than the juice of the currant A
cochineal plantation has singular as
pect. The larvae, being very delicate
and rather thick witted, have to be tied
upon the cactus plant, which is to be
their nursery and nourishment at the
same time. Thus one sees hundreds of
the shoots Of the prickiy pear-the cac-
tus In question-all bandaged with
white linen, as II they had the tooth.

warm and dry during the winter, and
induced to adhere to the plant itself.
When they are fun grown they are ruth

are then packed In bags, and sold az

Michipan's Insane.

The joint meeting Of asylum trustees
was held at Kalamazoo. Chauncey Il.
Cook, of Hillsdale, presented a paper on
Improved Asylum Business Methods,
which advocated the simplest methods
possible. 1t led to an extended discussion,
in which Gov. Rich took part. DIR. Chris
tian's paper, entitled rs the Burden of
Caring for the Insane Growing" showed
that in a few years the expense in Michi-
gan of caring for the insane had in
creased from 100000 to $3SO,OOO an
nually. In 1884 there was one insane
person in Wayne County for 2,612 peo-
pie, and 1894 one for 1,S9S people. The
total insane population in Michigan is
1850. DIR. J. ID. Munson, of Traverse
City, read paper on ''Paronoanoiacs
and Their Relation to the Public and the
Asylum" DIR. VIM. Edwards read pa
per showing that /, 43S persons had been
treated at the Michigan asylum during
the past year. The financial reports or
the several asylums showed that the dis
bursements. daily cost and weekly cost,
were as follows: Kalamazoo, disburse-
ments. 500. S30.3T: daily cost, $41.11;
weekly cost, S329.77. Eastern Michigan,

cost, S3O6.41. Northern Michigan, $l5S,-
5S6.93; daily cost. $43.S5; weekly cost,

voted that the rate of maintenance Tor

the northern peninsula the rate per day
was fixed at 60 cents.

The citizens Of Brooklyn are justly
proud Of their shade trees and have
adopted system that prevents the
ravages of caterpillars. On the two
sides of each block the residents select
a man, with assistants, to burn out the
caterpillars' nests by means Of safety
torch fixed to the end Of a long pole.
The web attached to buildings or
fences are removed by hand. The nests
are easily found and destroyed early in
the season, but If the caterpillars are
allowed to go ahead and scatter over
the tree, 1t is impossible to arrest their
blighting work. In the absence of a
city forestry department the shade
trees have hardly one chance in ten Of
reaching vigorous growth.

his gain Of several pounds in weight
over given period may have no cause
for rejoicing, for he may be under a
delusion. Very few people, says this
French investigator, have any correct
idea of their own weight. AS rule,
the correctness of his scale may be
doubted, the weight Of the clothing not
taken into account, the time which has
elapsed since eating, etc.
AS matter Of fact, the weight Of the
body Is continuously changing, owing
the innumerable influences. On a warm
day after breakfast man will lose
more than third of a pound per hour.
Seventy per cent Of the body consists
of water, and thus Its weight must vary
with the Transportation Of moisture.
Therefore the differences drawn from
the loss or gain of pound or two may
be mistrusted. Fluctuations Of few
ounces per day are a sign that the body
is in healthy state.-Chambers Jour-
