A DRAMATIC TREAT-On Monday,
the 25th inst, will be presented at
Olympia Theater the most absorbing
drama of the age, Trilby," from
George Du Maurier's wonderful crea-
ton OF that name, first published in
Harper's Magazine and subsequently
in book form, and which has been
read and re-read by literary people of
the civilized world. Harper Bros. own
the copyright Of the play as we'll as of
the book, and few weeks ago obtained
an injunction from the court at
Omaha, restraining a rival company
from pirating the play. Those who
have read the book will be de-
lighted in renewing acquaintance with
" Trilby," Tatfy," The Laird"
"Gecko," and the innocent and i'm
questionable Little Billee." The
hypnotic "Svengali," is likewise a
strongly drawn character. and the
drama is said to embrace all the in
dividuality impaired by the great
novelist to ideals. Trilby is meeting
with an ovation wherever it is played,
and we do not believe that our city
will be an exception. 1t is A. NJ.
Palmer's company, which is an assur-
ance of its high order.

Messrs. Scofield & Savage are build
ing a new "top" pile-driver at the
draw, for use in driving the piles I'M

been weakened by wash from the

and they will be driven so deep that
no further injury will result from that
cause. TO facilitate operations, the
armory will be moved upon new piles

Portland.
A report was received in this city,
few days ago, of tragedy in
Golden Gate park, with details
which seemed to indicate that the
victim OF self-destruction had been a
resident of this place. The clothes
that he wore were stamped with the
name OF &C. Noschks, Tailor" and he
had in his pocket portrait which
bore a strong resemblance to Hazel
King, at one time a resident of the
lower end of Main street. The de-
scription Of the deceased led to the
belief that it might have been Dick"
Smith, a former resident, who. is now
part owner of a job printing office in
Portland. To settle this doubt the
"Old Reliable" Immediately called up

THIS MORNINGS FIRE.-At 4:I0
o'clock this morning, general alarm
OF fire was rung, and brilliant blaze
in the upper part of town indicated
that the " fire fiend" was "getting in
his work." The flames proceeded
from the roof of the First Presbyter-
ian church, corner OF Franklin and
Sixth streets, and had undoubtedly
been communicated from fire in the
furnace, as it had been used a few
hours before in heating the church for
service. The fire department was
promptly on the ground and by sew
eral well-directed streams soon had the
flames under control. The study in
the rear of the church is badly charred,
and some damage was done to the
carpets and furniture of the main
building from water. Probably the
loss will amount to 5000 or $3.50,
which is fully covered by insurance.

HINTS FOR THE TABLE.

RAPID eating is slow suicide.
PLENTY of time should be taken.
FISH and oysters are easily digested.
AN hour or two of rest should be
taken after the meal
MERE qualification of che appetite is
very likely to shorten life.
DINNER should be of a lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A QUART of wheat contains more
nutriment than bushel of cucumbers.
THERE is happy mean between eat,
ing everything and being squeamish.
IT is not good to dine when in a state
of mental or physical weakness
Two POUNDS of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as thirteen pounds OF
turnips.
LIGHT soups, light desserts and light
meats should have the preference in
warm weather.
ABUSE of the stomach at dinner will
be repaid sooner or later by that pun
ishment which comes to the glutton
VEGETABLES and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season of the
year in which they naturally mature.
BEGINNING the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilating a
hearty meal.

rhe Latest m Hairdre-s,ne.

In the present mode of hairdressing
little or no false hair is worn. The I'M
dulating style is the thing, and to pro-
duce this the hair is waved all through
is thickness, gathered up loosely at
the back and made to form a soft knot,
somewhat in the shape Of the figure 8.
It IS drawn out little at each side so
as to cover the top Of the ear and TO
produce a wide outline. The bang"
or fringe has been almost entirely
discarded and only few soft loose
rings of hair are allowed to stray over
the forehead. Some hairdressers Ike
small cushions al the back Of the head
ever each ear, and this gives the wide
outline which seems 50 desirable. Some
very smart women wear their hair
parted in the middle, with very fluffy
curls at the side and waved in the back.

Captured by a Parrot.

A Syracuse maiden lady has parrot,
an excellent talker, and his cage hangs
in the bedroom of his mistress. One
night burglar got into the house,
and, after ransacking the lower rooms,
assembled to the lady's sleeping apart
ment and proceeded to collect all the
jewelry and valuables he could find.
While thus engaged, the parrot, which
had been watching him all the time,
suddenly. cried out: Halo. What do
you want:' The burglar was so startled
by the sepulchral voice that he dropped
his dark lantern, and in. STOPPING to re-
cover it, fell over a chair This
awoke the lady, and she began to
scream at the top of her voice. The
thief, now thoroughly alarmed. took a
flying leap for the stairway, and, in his
haste, slipped and went head over heels
TO the bottom. There he lay insensi-
BILE until the servants came running to
the scene and easily captured bin.

while at tho same time it serves as a
center over which ths "Dutchman" is
to at just before it 10 hown. For the
'sDutchman," which is the last thing to
b made, obtain at tinsmith's q sheet
of very thin tin, and cut from it .
square of five inches. From this square
cut the shape az shown in Fig. 3, and
berc hole ia the center of it large
enough to fit loosely over the end of
the stick above the spool. Around this
hole, and on line with the blade,
punch with an awl and hammer four
small holes, large enough to at over
the steel wire nails driven in the top of
the spool.
The ''Dutchman" will then fit ever
the stick and nails and lie fat on top
of the spool. Now take hold of the
''Dutchman's" ears and bend each one
slightly by hand, all in the same direc-
ton as shown in the cut, and place the
spool over the end. Around the spool
wind piece of fishline about two feet
long, having at one end button which
may be taken hold of when pulling the
string. Then place the "Dutchman'
over the stick and pin, so when it is all
together it will appear as shown in the
illustration. Place your thumb. against
