MABEL PAIGE
TOMORROW NIGHT AT o'BRIEN 's.

s.-ss4 TOMOHhOW AT U bhtEN o.
 Everybody's favorite, Mabel Paige, and her upt date company will begin their weeks engagement at o'Brien ,s @ tomorrow night in the musical comedy5 "The Other GiIl," The Natchez (Miss.) Su nday News says of this charming little star:
 "Mabel Paige. the little heart warmer, has come and gone. The people of Natchez and vicinity have been afforded week of rare entertainment, and it is the universal opin- ionof all who saw the company that it is the best show that has yet struck the town. Our peoples enthusiasm over the lovable little star grew with each succeeding per- formance, and her departure leaves lonely feeling, as though a loved relative had left us. There are no blanks in the company. They are all fully up to the standard, and in feet, seem to have been specially moulded for the various parts in which they have appeared. If 1t should so happen that Mabel Paige and her company make a return engagement for this city, the opera house will not be able to hold the crowds.''
 Ladies will be admitted free tomorrow night if accompanied by "a person holding one paid 30- cent ticket.

A RIG VENTURE.

Magnitude in stage creations seems to be tbe order of the day. Al c. Field, whose inventive genius has given to the minstrel stage many bright bits, has created three. e'Utopia.' It is in three acts or scenes. No effort at plot is attempted. To pre-. eent, beautiful spectacular effects strong specialties and wholesome minstrel fun will be the object aimed at. There will be an entire absence of farce comedy horae play. The whole of the first act takes place on the deck of one of the famous ocean greyhounds. An exact reproduction of the steamer's deck will be shown. The rising of the curtain shows the ship sailing from gers, bnnds playing. flags flying. A pano- ramic view of New York city's famous Lar- Dor, New York city by night from the bay aud other scenic effects are seen in this act. As the steamer blows its way across the deep icebergs, steamers, etc., are passed in mid ocean. A storm at sea with electrical effects will be startling feature of this scene. Scenes in London, Liverpool, M1n- chester, Paris, Glasgow, St. PeteIsbry'g g, Madrid, Bremen, the landing at New Orleans, all will be trutbfully depicted by a panoramic device. Over 3C0O yards of | canvas will be required on which to paint the views representing the scenes incidental to this act. On tho deck of the vessel 6 minstrel first part will berintroduced-not a minstrel first part such as has been seen for time immelnorial, but in the form of a concert as given by tue passengers of ocean steamers to while away the monotony of
 the voyage. This act is entitled "Around
 the World in Eighty Minutes" The ter
 imitation ot tife first act wi be realistic
 representation of the futile efforts of several
 amateur sailors to control sail boat in a
 storm, -a..s,s
 The second scene is laid in the mytho-
 logical land of Utopia, and will embrace
 noted foreign specialties and the operetta
 of ssGay and Grave, or the History of the
 Watermelon. .' The third and last act is laid
 on tropical island, aud is entitled .'Kiug
 of the Hannibal Islands.'' The wrecking of
 n ship, the missionary's feast, ,or rather the
 feast of the natives, will bs prominent
 scenes. This act affords unlimited oppor-
 tunilies for jun and opens up n new line of
 stage business with new characters. It
 will be perceptible to even casual visitor
 10 the theaier that the opportunities for
 stage display in this production will be
 great, and the management will take ad-
 vantage of them to the fullest extent.
 Week stands will be played with but few
 exceptions. Two 65 feet cars will be re-
 quired to carry the scenery and effects.
 There will be seventy people in the cast.

Water Craft in China.

(Julian Ralph in Harper's Magazine.
The activity on the water is marvellous.
The craft are as numerous and as varied
as the water will hold or the mind can
fancy. The most impressive are the
junks, with preposterous sails that hide
everything behind them from earth to
sky. These junks ride low in front, and
are built up behind like the Pinta, Nina
and Santa Maria. They have great Cog
gle eyes painted and carved on their bows
and turned to look down at the water.
Every European in China loves to tell a
stranger why nearly all the boats, of
every shape and size, "If no hab eye, how
can see? If no can see, how can savey?
If no can savey, how can walk?" Then
there are large cargo boats, shaped like
long barrels or large cigars Their round
ing tops are made of bent mats that can
be piled on top of one another in one
place to make a little cabin, or can be
pulled out, end to end, to cover all the
cargo. There are other long, narrow
boats, laden high with garden truck,
With potatoes or peas or beans or rice
straw, and looking like so many Flat
bush farm wagons afloat. There are little
sampans, from which men and women
nsh with nets. And there are innumera-
BILE other small boats, wherein men.
women and children are working those
tools, like oyster-tongs with which they

water These they spread on the FARMS
and thus raise all central China higher
and higher above the water of the creeks
and canals, which is where the ocean
water once was, though the land now
rises from four to six feet above it. The
express boats are very interesting They
are slender, long row-boats rooted over
with mathis, for one or two passengers,
and carrying in the stern muscular
Chinaman, who propels big-bladed oar
with his feet. With small oar in one
hand to steer with with the other hand
holding parasol or FAM the while he
may be pulling at his pipe, he tolls
calmly on, all night or all day, seated
on the point of his spine, and describing
endless circls with his muscular legs and
dextrous feet.
Thousands of the vessels, even the
smallest, are the only homes of the people
in them. In them men take wives in them
children are born and reared; in them
death pursues his rounds In them we
saw whole families at work making bas-
kets, making lanterns, busy at many
sorts of labor. The family cat, dog, or
the melancholy chicken perched on an
at his ablutions, tail up in the water,
with string tied to his leg to keep him
at home-these were some of the assur
ances we had that certain of the craft
were floating homes. Often, on the cargo
boats, the dwelling place was beneath a
great square mat in the stern. There the
man slept, the woman cooked the rice and
fish, and the tiniest children worked the
yoolo to send the boat ahead. Baskets
hanging behind served as closets and
clothes chests. On the chop-boats, which
are floating homes of the best grade we
saw pots of pretty flowers, and kitchens
and cooks, and gentle women and solemn
looking moustached old grandees, as well
as nurses and children,

THE TIGER HAD APPENDICITIS.
And Then Was up to Date from a Medical
Standpoint

Bismarck, one of the five big royal Ben
gal tigers owned by Ringling Bros, mani
tested unmistakable signs of a bad tenn
per at Niagara Falls the other Sunday,
says the Boston Globe Not that he is
ever of a particularly amiable disposition,
or that any one would select him for a
side partner at whist party. On the
day in question he showed his ugly mood
by swapping at Hudja Raffartalia, his
keeper. Bismarck paced nervously ND
and down the narrow confines of his
cage, bit his side, rolled over and spit like
the ferocious cat that he is. Itwas plain
ly to be seen that what little sunshine
there was in his nature was deeply OBJ
scured by the clouds of ill-humor
A Buffalo newspaper man who was
present that day suggested that he had
pain in his conscience. Every one had
his theory, but the only thing that was
absolutely certain was that Bismarck
was suffering. The college for graduation
of tiger doctors has not been particularly
successful in this country, and as there
was no professor of tigerology on hand
it looked as il the Ringling Bros. were
fated to lose one of their star geological
attractions.
When the emergency is presented, how
ever, the man is generally at hand, and
so 1T was in this case, for local physi-
clan who happened to be at the show,
laughlngly suggested appendicitis There
Were some very board smiles on the faces
of those present, and no one thought any
more about it until the scribe from
Buffalo mentioned that famous New
York specialist in appendicitis cases was
in Buffalo attending a prominent citizen
there, and on whom he had operated for
this serious trouble "It would do no
harm to have the specialist look at the
sick tiger and an agent was dispatched
to bring him. he specialist was rather
reluctant to go, but finally consented
He looked the tiger over, admitted the
possibility of such a thing in a brute, and
at first demurred at being called to
operate on a menagerie animal. The
humor of the thing finally struck him,
and he decided that it would do no harm
to make the test. 1t required Leight men
over half an hour to secure Bismarck
with ropes after which he was muzzled
and chloroformed.
The doctor entered the cage performed
the operation to see if there was any OBJ
struction of the .veriform appendix, and
much to his surprise, actually found a
trouble very similar to what is known as
appendicitis in human body On the
Tuesday following Bismarck was released
from bondage, and was still weak, so he
made no effort to rise. 1t was plain
however, that he realized sense of re-
lief, and every one in interest felt like
sending letter of congratulation to the
New York physician. Since the opera
tion Bismarck has ben far better natured
than for long time previous, showing
the rare instinct of the brute family
Bismarck was soon able to walk about
his cage little, and it would seem to
be apparent now that the first well-attest-
ed case of an operation for appendicitis
on tiger promises to become "cause
celebre" in medica history.

The Boston Standard, the organ of the
A. 2. A, shouts s'To Armsp' anent
the East Boston riot. But the lesson of
that affair is not that public should take
up arms, but lay them down. The lesson
of that affair is that more tolerance is
needed on the part of the Catholics for
Protestants and on the part of Protestants
for Catholics. The men or newspapers
who deliberately foment religious strife,
whether they are Catholics or Protestants,
are public enemies. 1t does not necessari
ly follow that men must keep silent in
regard certain tendencies of creed or doc
trine that may be inimical to the stability
of our civil government; it follows only
that they shall discuss them in temper
ate way with a view to appealing to rea-
son rather than to passion and prejudice

A committee appointed by the Irish
Nationalist of Boston has issued an ad-
dress to their fellow countrymen in the
Bay State in which they say:
THE Irish members of Parliament are
split into two contending parties and one
of these parties is rent into two hostile
factions animated by bittersshostility
toward each other In the war of fac
t1on and the personal strife of leaders the
interests of Ireland are forgotten and the
old flag is trailed in the dust. Rival
appeals have been sent to the Irish peo-
pie in America for funds to aid the fac
tions to fight each other at the polls.
Every dollar contributed for such pur-
pose might as well be flung into sewer
or sent to the English secret service fund.
NO man of common sense can imagine
that he is serving Ireland by helping to
keep Irishmen divided. There must be
union based upon sound principles be-
fore the Irish cause can make a single
forward step, or recover the ground it has
lost''
The committee is to be compl1mented
on having done exactly the right thing.

An Italian named Nino is on trial at
New York for the murder of his wife.
TO test his sanity two medical experts
resorted..to singular method. They went
to Nino's cell and there rehearsed before
him the supposed scene of his wife's
murder, and the prisoner was asked to
show them just how he committed the
crime, which he did All this time
recording instrument had been attached
to the prisoners wrist, and as it showed
that the action of the mans pulse had
not been accelerated during the mock
tragedy, the experts concluded that he
must have been insane when he did the
deed. They did not believe it possible
