MALONEY'S RAFFLE.
That Is the Attraction Offered to the
Patrons of Davis Thcutcr.

Tn looking for name for a con-
glomeration of specialties given at
Davis theater yesterday, the men who
jostled the thing together selected
'tMaloney's Rattle" for the reason that
no rattle is held. "Maloney's Razzle"
would be better. The show Is led by
Miss Maggie Weston. an Irish COM
med!enne. In the first period twiXt
curtain rise and fall young lady with
the dainty name "SeabreeZe" sang
several songs.
Toward the close of the performance
some really good things were given.
The Fulton brothers are very clever.
With Al Mayors the two young men did
an amusing athletic specially. 1t was
worth the price of admission. The rest
of the company, with the exception of
Carlotta and John =. Stewart. are not
worthy of special mention. The per-
fOrmance will be repeated today and
tomorrow with afternoon matinees.

years of age, and the other about 8

suffering much from tramping about on
the cold pavements. The officer took
them to the station house, carrying the
smaller boy in his arms.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
little fellows are sons of Mr.. and Mrs
John Boland. of the South Side. The
parents went out yesterday and, not
returning at nightfall the children be-
came afraid to stay alone in the house
and went out in search of them.

How the Big Fish Observe the Sabbath

How the Big Fish Observe the Sabbath.
Albany, Feb. 10.-On the register
of the Kenmore yesterday was in
scribed the name of John Jacob Astor.
With him were were Mrs. Astor and
Miss Evelyn Burden. Mr.. and Mrs.
Astor gave a skating party at the
Empire Rink today. 1t took place at
the same time that the church SER
vices we're being conducted. While
the greater part of society listened to
sermons the Astor party was having a
gay time.
Mr.. Astor, to prevent any careless
member of the Curling Club from
happening in and fastening its pie
beian eyes on the gayly disposed pa
tricians, asked:
"How much is your rink for q
whole morning?"
Upon getting reply, he paid down
the cash and took the rink. At about
II o'clock the party arrived. 1t con.
sisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Astor, Mis-.
Evelyn Burden, Mr.. Cutting, {
brother of the young man who mar
ried Minnie Seligman; Mr.. Creighton
Webb and few others.
From II until o'clock the part,
skated, and Mrs. Astor, who is
pretty and graceful skater, charme,
her friends with an exhibition of he
skill.
Nobody would have suspected tina
it was Sunday to see the way they en-
joyed themselves. When the skater
had had fun to their hearts content
and it began to get near dinner time
the skates we're taken off, and til
party went to the Kenmore.

CORRESPONDENTS.


Mr.. Editor When an animal sees
TO hears something unusual, it is
alarmed and seeks safety in fight or
otherwise. Savage man, taking on
the same characteristics, Is likewise
affected by any strange appearance
or sound, and knowing nothing of
natural laws, fancies demon in the
flying clouds, In the lightning, and
in the gale. He ascends, through the
slow process Of Evolution, gains some
knowledge Of agriculture and archi-
texture, improves his language, and
adopts complex government, but
remaining just as ignorant of natural
phenomena, his superst,tious notions,
whatever they may be, through he
reditary becoming stronger and thus
pervadlng his whole being. He adj
mits his inability to give reason for
his beliefs, but credulously accepts
the hit-or-miss dictum of the chief or
some one bold enough to act the role
of teacher.
When a man has risen step by step
to what we call a state Of civilization,
he has advanced still more in agri-
culture and political economy, art Of
war, etc., and perhaps has a stronger
and more oppressive form Of govern
ment, but IN respect to natures laws,
the majority of persons in the 80
called civilized states are but in line
with the barbarian.
War, subjugation, slavery and OPP
preston are elements in the process
of evolution. Atany rate, war is about
the only means of lifting or forcing a
people out Of stagnation and igno-
rance; for being brought into contact
with different customs and opinions,
their own are greatly modified.

DR.. Lyman Abbott, the successor
of Beecher in the pulpit of Plymouth

of Adam and Eve, can't digest the
