"The StilI Alarm"

There is an indescribable charm in the dash. spiris and heroism of ''The Still Alarm" which comes to Jacques opera house Wednesday evening. One cannot witness the thrilling run for the fire made by the trained horses, with their big en- zine putting and sputtering and apparently eager for the battle with the flames, with out being enthusiastic. It is one of the most creditabls bits of realism which the ingenuity of the stage mechanic has given us.
 ''In Old Kentucky"

STRICT SILENCE
As to Guatemala's Reply to the De- mands of Mexico the Order-The
 Latter Preparing for War.

Cry OF MEXICO, Jan. 26.-The morn- ing newspapers preserve strict silence as to the govern ments programme in the dispute with Guatemala. At the depart ments all inquiries are met with absolute refusal to discuss the situation, although an official statement in the near future is hinted. Guatemala's reply to Mexico's final demands is still a cabinet secret, al- though numberless wild rumors as to its contents are spread hourly.
 Llst night there was report that Senor Mariscal Of the foreign office had received notice from Guatemala that she was ready Ito grant Mexico's request as to the frontier lands and to indemnify the country for the expenses incurred incidents ally to the dis pute. Today this report was denied offi- cially.

SEEM TO BE INEVITABLE
Cleveland Booked for a Mes- sage to Congress Looking
 to This Procedure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--The treasury gold reserve was further reduced today, SS10, GOO being withdrawn at New York, and stood st the close of business at y55,- S69, ,995. For three hours today the finan- cial situation was discussed at the White House by the president, Secretary Carlisle and Attorney General Olney.
 The result of that con ference was not di- vulged. but it is believed that the presi. dent has decided to call the atten- tion of congress to the treasury situation, point out anew the grave peril that threat ems the ability of the treasury to redeem in gold it's legal tender notes, and thus place upon congress the responsibility for reliev- ing the situation. This he will do, it is said, in a message to congress, which will, If it can be prepared in time, be sent in Monday; if not then, on Tuesday at the latest.
 He will give the amount of gold received from the two bond issues and show that with an addition of $l09, GOO ,000 to the bond indebtedness within one year the treasury possesses less gold now than 1t did February 1, 1894. What remedy he will suggest IS not known, but the president has kept constantly informed of the situa- ton and IS known to have said that remedies of simple but effective character can be applied to strengthen the public credit and put stop to further gold exports.
 II congress, after receiving his mes ,age, fails to speedily tct, the old law, under which the bond issues have already been made, will again be invoked, and auother bond issue, probably of S100, 900 1000, be an nounced.

MY CHOICE.

What flower shall be mineP Oh, how can choose
 From the myriads that cover the plain? Shall it be the wild rose that blooms in the wood
 Or the buttercup down in the laner ;, Fair are the lilies so stately and tall That grow in the deep meadow grass, And white are the daisies with bright starry eyes
 That greet me whenever pass Forgetmenots, too, so tiny and bright, Refiecting the blue of the sky, And cardinal flowers, with scarlet afiame. Oh, why should pass them byp How, how can choose2 Shall it be the wind- flower
 That, tremulous, sways in the breeze, Or the orchid that blooms with a beauty so rare
 In the shade of the tall forest treesP Marsh marigolds grow by the side of the brook, And here is the white meadow queen, But choose the blue violet. modest and sweet, In its setting of emerald green.

THE ONE WEAK EYE.
A Simple Experiment. by Which It May
 Be Discovered.

A Simple Experiment by Which It May
 Be Discovered.
 "Yes" said the doctor in a moment of unprofessional confidence "the makers of optical instruments are turning out somo wonderful appliances nowadays for dis covering imperfections of vision, but I'll tell you of plan for testing the respective strength of your eyes that is as simple as it is trustworthy. All you need is stereo scope and photograph. That arrange ment in which the picture holder slides up and down a flat frame trombone fash ion, Is the best sort of stereoscope for tho purpose although any will do, and tho photograph that will give tho best results is cabinet size view of some locality with people in it. The modus operandi is sim plicity itself.
 Put the photograph in the holder and focus it just enough so that you can see the faces clearly Then closo the left eye and look at the picture intently with your right eye while you count 80slowly. Now close tho right eyo and look at the picture with the left eye for the samo space of time Then open both eyes and look at the picture without changing the focus. Something queer will happen. The fig ures on the one side of the picture will seem to move uCrOSS Uuo VleW anu BrOup themselves with those on the other side, and-.this is the point of the experiment the figures will always move away from the weak eye. Moreover, they will move with very precise relation of speed to the weakness of vision. If the left eye, for example, is quite weak, tho figures will move very quickly. across the plano of sight to the right side, while If there is but slight defect tho movement will be gradual, and so on.
 "A queer thing about this experiment Is that, simple as it seems, it will bring out defects of vision that have never been suspected, and another queer thing is that it will demonstrate the cases in which both eyes are of equal power to be sur prisingly exceptional. I have tried it in score of mixed gatherings and never yet without having the oxperimenter observe some movement of the figures. There was one old lady, remember, up at Port Jefferson, who persisted in saying that she saw precisely with both eyes as she did with one eye, and well she might, for when examined her eyes closely found she was stone blind on the left side and didn't know it."-New York Sun.

THE END IN SIGHT.
Brooklyn's Great Strike Will Soon Be Over-Defeat for the Knights
 Of the Rail Inevitable.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 26.-The companies made great showing of cars in all parts of the city today. Two or three lines which ran cars yesterday were idle, owing to wire-cutting, but other new lines were tt red. On some of them only one car was run. The cars were run later this evening than any time since they were started up. All were stopped at 10 o'clock, , however.
 The city was com partively quiet and but few disturbances occurred. What few there were took place in the suburbs and were qaick kly suppressed by the police without any great uamage 10 heads or property. A bout two dozen arrests were made during the day, mainly for wire cutting.
 - The troops will remain uuder arms ready for any emergency that may arise, and no time is yet fixed for breaking camp at any of the posts. There may yet be serious trouble in Greenpoint on the north and in the gas house district in tue south of the city, but all now looks bright for all except tue )C0 or 1000 men who went on strike two weeks ago. They have the sympathy of the community. defeat of the trolley monopoly would cause popular rejoiciug, but the trolley seems to be able 10 ride rough shod over this town. The end of the strike is in sight, and the strikers are unquestionably beaten.
