Orpheum.-The show at the Orpheum
this week is strictly up to de limit"
asked to describe it. There is almost
surplus of good things on the pro-
grdmme. which can truthfuliy be term ed
the best in the vaudeville line ever seen
in this city. beginning with Will H..
Fox, who starts the ball OF fun rolling
WIlH lis SItdt tOIltuy HlusItdl sIlttltltN
there is succession of bright and breezy
features that provoke continual laughter.
Mr.. Fox has changeI his specialties this
week. He tells Il story OF courtship in
usic, an original and clever conceit,
and keeps up an incessant fire OF witt
clsms through his performance that are
good mirth producers.
James Richmond and Letha Glenroy,
VINO made their initial appearance on
Monday night, are a great pair of enter
tainers. They keep things booming with
their unusually clever jokes and songs.
Maud Raymond. the pretty and chic
soubrette, became favorite at once.
She sings a number of new topical songs,
and it is with evident reluctance that the
audience allows her to withdraw.
The German comedy team. Max and
Gus Rogers, also new people, are good IN
everything they do through long and
varied scene of speciaities. Meyer Cohen
sings new songs, which are illustrated
! by stereopticon views, and Nizarras, the
young athlete, appears in his marvellous
feats.
Felix and Cain present a new act this
week that is replete with startling sur
prises Mr.. Cain sings sweetly, and Fe-
lix, in addition to his unique acrobatic
performance. creates a diversion by a
wrestling match with a dummy and uses
thinge up promiscuously before the wind
up. He finally tackles a second dummy
and the denouement brings out screams
of laughter from the audience. The act
is atrikingly original and far better than
| the one last week.
The closing piece Justice Sends every
body home smiling. There is no SEM
blance of a plot to the comedy. IL is
| merely a'hodgepodge of absurdities and
is exceedingly funny. The same pro.
gramme will be presented every evening
and at the Saturday and Sunday matt
nees. Seats for Levy week will 60 on sale

A GREAT MANS TRAITS

OF all the splendid tributes paid the
late Secretary Gresham, that of the New
York World was the most interesting ID
the significant facts it set forth regarding
this typical Americans career. The
World said IN part:
A frank. warm hearted man OF unaf-
fected manners and full of generous i'm
pulses, he won the respect and attach
ment of all with whom he came in con-
tact And yet his genial and sym npathetic
character was dominated by high sense
of duty and stern devotion to it. AS a
Judge on the bench or as a cabinet officer
he was as brave as on the field of battle
and as true to his convictions OF righ
and justice. Few judges or political as
pirants would have spoken as bluntly as
he did about the blocks of five bribeIies of
his own party when he said:
1t is the Pharisees who are doing this.
1t is the men OF prominence and re-
spectability who raise these large sums of
money. knowing the use that til ey will
be put to-men who deal openly with COR
ruption one day anI go to church the
next.
He was never weaned from the simple
home life and neigh borly attachments of
his mothers farm. And when his friends
mindful of his honorable poverty put
$50 900 to his credit in bank to give him
something besides his salary to live on
as mem ber OF President Cleyeland's 5
cabinet he refused to receive it.

Two OF the most certain indications of
the business revival. throughout the coun-
try are found in the decrease of bank
ruptcies and the increase in Wall street
stock trans sacticns. Bankruptcies ale 10
per cent less than year since, and the
stock sales in the great financial center
of the country have risen from about
ST. 100. 900 per week to an average OF yl3,-
600, 0O0. These two facts show indisput-
ably that the business men are holding
their own vastly better than twelve
months since. and that the investing
classes have renewed faith in the stability
and profit of industrial enterprises.

The Herald has won its battle for de-
cency and humanity in the treatment OF
female prisoners, the latter being now
confined IN the East Side station, to
which the police commission has ordered
some additions that will further
provide accom- modations for these
unfortunates. Something of this
sort should have been done long
since. The crowding of prisoners after
the fashion of slaver's hold is not cal
culated to inspire much respect IN the
lower order of humanity for those posing
as their b tiers. and the bestowal of
'hoater" sentences on those convicted

Armed with Large ana Heavy

Long ago a professedly wise man re-
parked that he who leaves one cat
to grow where two grew before Is

that this sneering and supercilieus
person expresses the general feeling
OF the community In respect to cats ~
cannot be denied that the cat has hith-
erto been a useless and superhuous
beast. He makes enormous preten-
slons In the matter OF catching rats,
but he never justines these preten-
slons. So long as he can lie. by the
kitchen fire and steal meat when the
cooks back is turned he despises hon-
est labor.
His buglarious habits are notorious.

The Roman soldier was compelled

Or. Payy. perhaps The most eminent
authority upon diet sRys that the av-
eraBe man In state OF absolute rest
can live on sixteen ounces OF food u
day; n man doing ordinary light work
can live on twenty-;hrap ounces; a man
doing laborlous worn needs from
tweniy-six and three.quarlers ounces
to thirty ounces.
This Is food nbsofsply free from
water. and II must be remem-
bered that everything we eat contains
more or less water, so that from forty
eight 10 sixty ounces Of ordinary food
are necessary to the work In which a
man ~ engaged.

proper use OF the common domestic
cat.
The Tootlngite in question was lately
engaged In a heated argument with his
muther-in-law. This fact alone shows
that he was person of no intelligence
or culture The man who thinks II
funny or In any way creditable to pro-
fess hostility to mothers-in-law, as a
class or as individuals. Is IN point Of
wit and decency little better than pi-
rate and a pagan.
In the course Of this argument this
Toutlngite desired to hit his antagonist
with something which should dlscOur-
age without totally destroying her. His
fist. the poker and the whislSey jug
We're each untitled for the precise end
In view: and he might, perhaps. have
abandoned his design had he not per,
eeived the family cat asleep on the
hearthrug.
His face lighted up with a sudden
and brilliant idea. He seized the cat by
Its nearest legs, wound II rapidly
around his head. and brought II VIC.
lently down on his mother-in-law's
head. She went down under the blow
and lay In dead faint.
There was no need of repeating the
process. The mother-in-law's courage
had totally vanished, and to the loot
inglte's great delight, this happy result
was accomplished without leaving the
slightest Dfulse OF ABRASION anywhere
visible upon the surface OF his defeated
relative.
1t needs very little reflection to per-
celve the wonderful fitness OF the cat
as q weapon OF assault and defence
The cat has all the advantages OF a
club, with none OF Its disadvantages.
II full grown cat Is seized by Its hind
legs and firmly held In the right hand.
the animal hangs in a limp and elon-
gated manner, without being able TO re-
lieve itself except by the use OF bad
language.
The weight OF the cat is much more
than that of the policemans club, and
hence the blow that can be struck with
1t is necessarily heavier. The softness
OF the beast prevents II from produc-
ing any visible bruise. When a man
is attacked by burglar. he has only
TO draw his cat and to bring II down
on his antagonists head with the full
force Of his arms In order TO stun him.
II not to fracture his skull Armed
with large and heavy cat, no man
need fear an ordinary enemy
The cat Is cheap and abundant There
IL no law which prohibits the carrying
OF cats concealed upon the person, and
should a man, In n moment OF uncon-
trollable excitement, seize HIS cat and
knock out the brains Of n life insur-
ance agent. no indictment for murder
could be found against him. since the
statute does not recognize the cat as a
deadly weapon.
The bludgeon. the club the poker and
the broomstick viii no longer be used
In the settlement OF private pursuits.
The cat will become the favorite
weapon OF the devoted wife and the
earnest burglar, and not only will II be
recognized as a beast OF great use and
almost universal application. but a

alluslon to swinging a cat, which has
