THINGS DRAMATIC.

Lincoln J. Carter's .Fast Mailn com pany was the attraction at O'Brien's last night. small audience was present, and it IS perhaps best that such was the case, as the performers were evidently indisposed as whole and went through their lines in manner which clearly proved something was wrong. Perhaps it was the lack of en- ergy on the part of the villain that led the others to be indifferent. The villain evil dently meant well, but he failed to induce the audience to form a good opinion of nm. He was sadly out of place and would, perhaps, have done better as the telegraph operator or mail man. The lead Ing lady failed to enthuse, evidently be- cause of being handicapped by the villain. The detective and his wife were fairly good, though at times q little strained. The scenic effects were fine, as are all of Carter's productions in this direction.
 LILLY CLAY TONIGHT.
 Very meritorious is the makeup of the long list of vaudeville stars composing the Lilly Clay Colossal Gaiety company, which Will be the current attraction at the opera house tonight. Opening tho clever per- formance are Agnes Evans and Nettie Huffman, the sprightly queens of trayesty and burlesque. These pretty maidens will sing and dance In way which has seldom been seen or heard here. The Kiralfy oaiiet tEOupe, Wilu Mlle. HenDrORe anu q dozen or more shapely and pretty young ladies, are seen in dancing pictures beau- tifully illuminated. Tim Cronin, the art ful character-sketch artist, has an original skit in which he introduces his clever speciality.
 r Marvellous Melville. the famous man of muscle, performs some very daring teats, such as have never been attempted by any other artist. One particularly strong sem sational act which be performs is that of the "La Chute de Ceil." Marie Carr, the dashing young vocalist; Leslie and Rich ards, the ''Astor tramps,'' and Kittie Clements, the greatest rope dancer on the stage tooay, are a few of the imposing features of this splendid bill. Opening the performance will be presented a dainty comedietta entitled GA Lawn Party,' and at the close a clever musical extravaganza called sDon Jose,'' in which the company in it's entirety appears.

| The husband also looked up as he
heard the voice, "By-by, mamma"
With pitiful cry the little woman
sank back into the carriage, her face
buried in her handkerchief. The driv-
er whipped up the horses and the car
riage ratified away to the Northwestern
depot.
Hip Lung and his wife decided some
time ago to separate. What the trou-
BILE is between the couple could not be
learned, 1t is said that Hip Lung law
ished too much attention on white wo-
men to please his wife, and after much
pickering they agreed to part Hip
Lung is reported to be worth $15O0OO,
and the report in Chinatown is that
he gave his wife $4,000 to go back to
China she was given the youngest
child and the father keeps the Oldest.
Mrs. Hip is the daughter Of one of the
wealthiest families in Canton. She is
very intelligent, with a beautiful olive
complexion and features that bespeak
the gentlewomen of China. 1t has been
said that she was the handsomest
Chinese woman in the United States.
Fook Chew, the boy she is taking home
with her, was born July A. 1892. He
was asleep last night when he was car
ried into the carriage.
About $3.50 O'clock the carriage was
driven UP to Hip Lungs place, 1923
Clark street. Bundles and baskets
were quickly placed upon the drivers
seat, and ten minutes later some one
went UP and told Mrs. Lung that all
was ready. She pressed her little boy
again and again as the tears streamed
down her cheeks. Tearing herself from
her boy she followed the man who was
carrying Fook Chew in his arms down
stairs. AS she reached the sidewalk
her husband stood within reach of her
arm, but there was no sign of recogni-
ton between them. Mrs Lung was
attired in gorgeous dress. 1t had
cost her husband good-sized fortune
in China. She wore nothing upon her
head. In her hair and on her wrists
were ornaments worn only by Chinese
of high caste. Her feet were encased
in the daintiest slippers that one ever
looked at. There was a queenly beau
ty about the little woman as she trip
ped across the sidewalk to the car
riage. AS the carriage rolled away
Hip Lung entered his store, where a
crowd of his countrymen were playing d
domlnoes. He walked over to where |
a teapot stood on a table, with a little |
cup at its side. He gulped down a cup |
Of the nectar and then joined the group |
that stood around the domino players |

Winnipeg Tribune. The type is a vari.
ETY. Of the syllable alphabet adapted tc
suit the languages of the Cree, Beaver
and Chipewyan Indians dwelling in
Athabasca, along the Peace River The
inventor of the system as applied to
northern tongues was Rev. J. Evans, a
Methodist missionary at Norway
House. 1T has since BEEN adapted to fit
nearly every Indian language in the
north.
The alphabet is syllable one--that is
to say, it has a sign for each syllable.
The Indian languages, while they con-
tain long words, have comparatively
but few syllables, and these are con-
stantly repeated. In the syllabarium
In use among the Crees there are thir-
ty-six principal characters In adapt
ing 1t for use among the chipewyansl
and Beavers it has been necessary to
invent or use about sixteen additional
characters. These represent all the
root syllables.
The method has proved wonderfully
adapted to Indian tongues and Indian
ideas The Roman letters drive am In
dian almost to distraction, and he rap
idly forgets what he learns with so
much trouble. The syllabar1um he
learns frequently in one day, and once
learned he never forgets it. The use Of
this system cam be readily seen among
nations Of hunters such as we have in
the north. The circumstances Of the
chase prevent more than two families
living together for amy length of time,
and the missionary goes from camp to
camp, spending a few days at each, and
utilizing seasons when the Indians
gather at the Hudson Bay Company
forts at trading time. To teach them
more than the rudiments of Christlani-
ty at such visits is impossible, and the
flame would go out if it were not for the
fact that the missionary teaches the In
dian how to read in the syllable and
leaves him a portion of the scriptures
and other books in his own tongue. Be
sides the book Of common prayer and
hymnal other works such as Bunyaus
Pilgrims Progress have been trans
lated into syllable. The boon that this
alphabet has been is incalculable The
type in this present case is being made
for DR.. Young, the well-known Church
of England Bishop of Athabasca, who
has been living in Winnipeg the past
winter, engaged in correspondence,
transitional and other work for the
benefit of his vast diocese on the banks
of the Peace river. Bishop Young will
take this type and suitable printing
press with him when he goes north this
spring, and from this press will so forth
a steady stream Of Christian literature
to tighten up the dark places Of the
northern wilds.

LOCAL OPTION IN eAMBLINe.

The Connecticut Senate has done
several strange things since it began
operations last January, but nothing
stranger than 1t did yesterday when IL
passed the local-option pool bill. This
bill is a substitute measure and was
handled very smoothly by Senator Cof-
fey, who said that there were two ele-
| ments in all communities and that one
| element had asked him to urge the
adoption Of the bill, and the other ele-
ment had not objected. Thus relieved
of his own responsibility he proceeded
to urge the adoption Of the bill just as
| IL he conscientiouly approved Of 1t and
twelve senator's fell in with him and the
urging element" Perhaps the other
element will now be heard from. 1t
ought to be.
According to this bill pools can be
sold on the tracks by vote of the citi-
zens or permission of the selectmen.
OF course there is no good, honest argu-
ment that can be made in favor of such
bill. All that can be said is that peo-
pie like to gamble, that there is profit
for some people in gambling, and that
local option has been recognized by the
law to regulate liquor selling. People
do like to gamble. There is no doubt
about that But the whole course of
the law in this State has been against
gambling. And the assumptions UNDER
lying the law have been against it.
If the principle of local option is now
recognized it will be startling limo
walton. And 1t will not be a progress
sive innovation. 1t will be q puerile
and short-sighted compromise with
crime The fact that 1t pays those who
sell pools to sell them is no reason
why they should be allowed to do it.
Many things that are against the spirit
and the letter of the law are profitable
And as for the alleged analogy between
local option In gambling and local OPP
tion IN liquor selling it is not real Intox-
icating liquor is an article OF commerce
as well as an article to get drunk with.
1t has several good and proper uses
1t is in some important respects neces-
sity Is pool selling a necessity, and is
there any legitimate business in it?
Let the suckers" and those who prey
on them say.
1t can hardly be that this unwise,
weak and wicked compromise with evil |
will pass the house. 1t has not passed |
the Senate by majority vote, and |
there will probably be enough in the |
house who can see through 1t to make
q majority against it. If not and it is
presented to the governor for his sig
nature he will have good opportunity
to show the moral quality which is
said to be his.

Something unique in the way Of an
exposition is about to be held at Macon,
Georgia. 1t is a peach carnival, and 1t
is expected that the peach-growing in
dustry of the entire State will be repre-
sented by exhibits. When it is remem-
bered that on the lines OF single rail-
road system in Georgia there are $685.
900 peach trees that grow fruit for ship
ment, something may be known Of the
present magnitude Of an industry that
scarcely existed twenty years ago. The
peach belt now extends over the great
er part Of the State, and some single
orchards number 100000 trees. The
trend of the industry is suggestive. It's
center is moving southwark. At first
peaches were grown in quantities suffl-
Client for export about West Point and
Griffin. This section is about forty
miles south and west Of Atlanta, and
nearly sixty north of Macon. Next the
industry moved southwark until Hous-
ton county, about twenty miles south Of
Macon, became a peach-growing center.
Again it moved southwark to Triton,
only about fifty miles north OF the Flor
Ida line. OF course the industry is no.
where abandoned, but it has been ex-
tending southwark, and soon the north
ern portion Of Florida, already engaged
to some extent in growing peaches for
export, will be great peach-growing
country. From all this territory the
Macon carnival will draw dts exhibits,
and the result is expected to be valu
able testimonial to the growth and pres
emit condition of one Of Georgia's fore
most industries.

PRETTY MRS. HIP LUNG.
The Heroine of IA Pathetic Story of the
Chinatown of Chicago.

NUtHHIOWn NHtcdkOs
from the Chicago Times Herald.1
There was pathetic scene in China
town last night when the wife of Hip
Lung and her youngest son, Fook
Chew, left for the Flowery Kingdom,
never to return to America, 1t was
know along Clark street for several
days that Mrs Lung was to start ON
her journey last night, and to show
their respect for her a large number OF
Cinnamon were on hand to see her de-
part. The husband, as stoical as a
statue, stood among the crowd on the
sidewalk as the carriage containing his
wife and child was driven away. Fook
Kim, the five-year-old boy of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lung, thrust his head out of a
second story window and in pure Eng
lish cried out: "I3y-by, mamma"
In the carriage sat the heart-brol1en
mother with a handkerchief pressed to
her eyes. She glanced up at her little
boy, who was standing on his tiptoes
at the window blowing kisses at her.
