CRAZY MINSTRELS.
Unique Performance Given at New York

Unique Performance Given at New YORK
State Insane Asylum.
A minstrel performance was given
by insane men in the state asylum for
the criminal insane in Matteawan the
other night. The audience was largely
composed of Fishldn and Matteawan
hremen, for whom the show was given,
in recognition of their work at the
asylum fire on January "a.
In the front row of seats sat Perry,
the train robber, with his eyes ban
daged; Lizzie Halliday, the murderess;
Quigley, oDonnell, Davis, "Frenchy,"
the murderer Of "Old Shakespeare, i"
and Quimbo Apo. They all applaud
ed and shouted with glee as the show
progressed, and enjoyed 1t perhaps
even better than did the firemen.
Russell was interlocutor, Still and
Donnelly were tambos, while Michael
Sliney, the Cherry Hill murderer, and
Geoghegan, life prisoner, manipulated
the bones. A fine part of the perform
ance was the singing Of Locheil's song
from Rob Roy" by Richard scherill

Interesting Military Decision.

Is it characterization for soldier to
refuse to wash his face when ordered to
do SO by his commanding officer? Most
people would think so, but court
martial in Holland of all places, where
the cleanliness of the inhabitants is
proverbial, has decided otherwise. A
soldier in the garrison of Flushing re-
spectfully but firmly declined to wash
himself as commanded, and the court
martial, before which he was tried for
the supposed offense, acquitted him.
What is more, the decision has been
confirmed by the high military court of
the Dutch kingdom.

cludes every lumber mill, ship owner
and wholesale and retail dealer of the
western coast of the United States and
British Columbia. All charters of ves-
sells and sales of lumber must be eff
fected through the Central Lumber
company, which regulates the freights
and puts the buying and selling price
on all lumber, and also regulates the
product of each mill and the proportion
ate amount of lumbe- each vessel shall
carry during the year.
The first order issued by the com
pany was to advance the price of lum'
Der two dollars per thousand. Last year
the estimated product of the coast was
6GO, 1000, 900 feet, and this advance will
enhance the profits of mill owners the
