Again, on Thursday evening, good
"1492, and the performance was Ger
tainly very well received as a whole.
The staging is magnificent and well ar
ranged, and there is certain progress
about the play which makes it lively and
bright, and although certain features
might be shortened to some extent the
effect as whole is frst-class. The sing
ing of the chorus was full of snap, and
was we'll given throughout, as were the
dances, especially by the charming Liska
Miss Maude Courtenay sang well and
was certainly captivating, and her render
ing of Ben Bolt was full of expression.
Her acting also was charming, as what
ever she did, she did gracefully and with
an ease that was decidedly attractive.
1t was the spirit and life of the play
which offered the striking attraction, and
as an extravaganza, the performance was
successful In every feature. The costumes
were brilliant, exhibiting variety which
made the play, as it were, and furnished
in that respect all that has been claimed
of it.
The applause. last evening, as a whole
was not vociferous, but there was a lively
interest and appreciation throughout, an
indication Of what the play really wss-'.a

The voice of Du Maurier who till Their

Unable expression of mingled terror anC
anger and sorrow.
Il was drawing from model, wher
suddenly the girls head seemed to me tC

my hand over my left eye. Had l beer

But when, in its turn. | covered my right
eye l learned what had happened My
left eye had failed me. 1t might be alto
gether lost. 1t was so sudden "a blow that
l was as thunderstruck. Seeing my dis
may, Van Lerius came up and asked me
what might be the matter, and when
told him he said that il was nothing; tia;
he had had that himself, and so on. And
"a doctor whom anxiously consulted that
same day comforted Inc and said that the
accident was passing one. However. my
eye grew worse and worse, and tho fear OF
a total blinGness besot me constantly.
That was the most tragic event of my life
1t poisoned all my existence. =
Du Maurier, as though to shake off q
troubling obscssion, rose from his chair
and walked about the room, cigarette in
hand,
In the spring of 1859 we heard of q
great specialist, who lived in Dusseldorf
and we went to see him. He examined
my eyes and said that though the left eye

been my fear about my eyes. Apart from

they were in 1878. 1879 and 1880 when ap-
piled to the results that would follow
coinage under the Bland Allison bill.
Not having shown that under free coin
age the amount of production of silver
will be sufficient to render possible such
an unlimited coinage of silver, the dis
tinction which he attempts to draw
between the effects of limited coinage
under the Bland bill and, what he calls,
unlimited coinage, under free coinage
entirely fails.
The coinage of silver under the law of
1878 having been productive of such gen.
eral prosperity. Notwithstanding Mr.
Shermans fears and prophecies to the
that the senator's fears as now express
cd, based upon the same line of argu-
ment as his doleful predictions of the
past, are equally unfounded
The Democratic platform does not
declare for free coinage of silver alone,
but of gold and silver The same lack
of limitation on the coirc.Ss.- of silver ap-
plies to gold also. The coinage of gold
alone is inadequate, and gold is CON-
stantly appreciating with reference to
all property and debts. The coinage of
silver will not be adequate to make mon
ey cheap, but will arrest the further en-
hancement of gold. 1t will break the
despotism of gold and arrest the declin-
ing values. 1t is not reputation but re-
demption. 1t restores true bimetallism
and will quicken the activities of all
business and do no wrong to any one.

the white man to cover himself with q
pair Of blankets. A carrier. as a rule,
of mapira or maize wrapped around his
waist in his loin cloth; he has besides
this always stock of snuff in an empty
cartridge case or little gourd; the SNUFF
is composed of powerful tobacco, the
ashes of aromatic leaf, and seeds of the
castor oil plant. Men, women and chill
dren necessarily take snuff. Only a few
persons smoke, and then not long
smoke, but a few violent draws, which
they inhale into their lungs until they
are to an extent stupified. This applies
to all the people in this part of the world.
Some of the carriers have a small mat
to sit on or to lie on at night, or to cover
themselves with in case of rain, and
some have a side of biscuit tin with a
handle fixed to 1t. The tin Is turned up
'at the sides, forming fiat dish, and pop
corn is made on this. This rs the fav
orite way of eating dry corn. When the
corn is green 1t is toasted. boiled or
steamed by being baked in the husk.
The carrier sometimes has little pocket
he is quite nabob If he possesses these
luxuries. He will take load weighing
fifty pounds; sometimes he carries the
load on his head with ring of reeds as
a pad for his head. He always carries
a stick. so when the load is on one shoul
der he passes the stick over the other
shoulder and under the load, so that the
labor is divided.-Century.
