Unfortunate PredIcament of Very Fat

Unfortunate Predicament of Very Fat
Man at the Theater.
He was such very fat man that the
entire audience turned around to look
at him when he came into the tbeater
in the middle of the first act and took
his seat in an orchestra chair. He wore
his last years fall oyercoat, says the
Philadelphia Record, which was tight
for him. lie had evidently taken on
flesh during The year. He paid no at
tention to the interest his ncighbors
evinced in him, but sat down and at
once became absorbed in the play. He
grew warm, and with his eyes still
glued to the stage, he arose and shed
his overcoat. The people around him
began to litter, and finally to laugh
very audibly. The fat man realized at
length that the people were laughing at
him. Then he noticed, with great con-
fusion, that he was in his shirtsleeves.
His sack coat had come off with the
other. He put them both on again and
tried to peel off the oyercoat, but it
wouldn't move little bit. He gave
desperate tug and wriggled his fat
shoulders, and the next moment he was
in his lshirtsleeves again. Get outl'
"Sit down." rip it off" cried the
people behind him, but the fat man tried
again, and with the assistance OF two
men in the seats behind him he finally
managed to shed his oyercoat.

WATER SNAKE FIGHTS EEL.
Terrific Combat Which Finally Ended In
the EeI's Escape.

tho Eels Escape.
''Did you ever know that there is
deadly antipathy between common
water snake and an eel?p asked the
fisherman, reports the Indianapolis SEN
tinel "Well, never knew it until an
experience that had in witnessing
fight between the two. Personally
have the greatest dread of cells. I'm
more afraid of them than am of
snake, and you can imagine my chagrin
when happened to hook one on one of
my fishing expeditions. 1 was afraid to
touch it, and all / could do was to let it
dangle in the air. I could not get it Off
my hook, and was meditating whatto
do, when altogether unnoticed / allowed
the Shiny object to drop down into the
water. In moment l saw big water
snake make dive for it. At the first
lunge it caught the neck of the eel
squarely between its teeth and I could
see it sink its ugly-loolsing fangs into
the cells flesh 1 waited anSiously TO
see the Developments. With its grim
hold still on the cells neck the snake,
quick as it takes to tell it, wrapped its
sinuous body around its antagonists
neck in an effort to squeeze it to death.
The body of the eel was too sleek, how
ever, and the snakes coils, despite all
it could do, would slip down into the
water. Time and time again it tried to
squeeze the life out of it's antagonist,
never for an instant releasing its hold
on the cells neck, but the body of the
latter was loo sleek for it, and every
time it would slip down. Finally the
hook broke, and the eel made good its
escape"

A sight that will linger long in The
memory was witnessed recently at the
Care st. Lazare. Huddled together
against the wall, with bundles of
clothes piled around them, and
dressed in costumes strange to the vile
lumicre, were 200 beings. They looked
like hunted dogs and chung together,
dazed at the noise and light. In truth
they were a band of Armenians flying

exhausted and he had to fall back on a
faTorite song of last week. At the third
encore the call went up from all parts OF
the house, 1.-The Horseshoe, The Horse

the od-time song in which he made such

Dyllyn's voice and mannerisms are dis

Gilbert and Goldie appeared as the hod

clothes. As good as was the work of New
ell and Shevette last week, their act last
night was even more clever and skillful of
execution. Their work on the triple hori-
zontal bars was par excellence. The same
applies to the acrobatic work of the De
Bolin Bros. The bill throughout is an eX-
cellent one in every particular. 1t is re-
plete with the best of comedy, the aero

THE MESSIAH ORATORIO

Few Auditors, Owing to the Weather-A
Splendid Presentation
If proof were needed of the thorough
mastery of the best classical music by Los
Angeles women, the excellent performance
by the Women's Orchestra and the Treble
Clef club of Handel's immortal oratorio in
almost total darkness last night would be
sufficient. Owing to the storm, the electric
apparatus was failure, and consequently
the difficult yet lovely music was played
and sung almost entirely by memory, and
faultlessly, too. Each of the recitatives
and arias were given in style that would
at times recall the rendition of the Messiah
at the great Handel centenary at abe
Crystal Palace, the illusion being much
enhanced by the singing of Madame Mar
tinez, in many ways so like that of the late
Madame Lemmens Sherington, while the
sweet notes of the tenor, Professor Bacon,
recalled the last Worcester, Eng. festival,
and Lloyd's fine voice. The contralto So
los were sung with accuracy by Mrs. Lie
wellyn, though there was a notice
able tendency 10 drag at times. es-
pecially in the aria, He Shall
Feed His Flock" which was disappointing.
The beautifully modulated. sweet, but not
profound, bass of f. L. Huebner was much
enjoyed, and his mastery singing of the
very trying recitation, For, behold dark
ness shall cover the earth, and the fervid
aria, The people that walked in darkness
have seen great light. showed his pow
ers. The chorus sang their music with
much steadness. and with an intelligence
that is rarely noticeable even on the stage.
The greatest pleasures of the evening,
apart from Madame Martinez faultless
singing OF the arias, He shall feed his
flock, and | know that my Redeemer liv-
eth, was the truly artistic playing of the
Women's orchestra, composed of the fol-
lowing: Mrs. f. L. Huebner, Miss Edna

About Roads

Probably there is no class of public work
so unsatisfactory 10 the people at large as
road building and road repairing, and
nothing for which smaller rel urn is re-.
ceived for the money expended. A bad
road is calamity 365 days and nights in
every year, and is the most expensive and
expense producing property owned by the
public. 1t is not always possible to avoid
having bad roads. Good roads are expen-
sive, and in thinly settled districts The cost
of their maintenance is too great to per-
NIT of keeping them in perfect condition.
And, again, the average road-builder. who
is usually a public official without expert
ence in road-making, does his work in the
least satisfactory manner.
The farmers of the newly settled portions
of the United States-and most of the
states are newly settled, comparatively
waste more money on haulage than on ex-
orbitant railroad freights. On poor roads
only small loads can be hauled, and conse-
quently The farmer must use more horses,
and is compelled to feed them twelve
months, although idle a good portion of
the time. Bad roads cause greater wear
| and tear and breakage, and thereby greater
expense.
Poor roads cause the damage of perish
able articles hauled over them, very no.
ticeable loss in a fruit growing region. In
short, bad roads are a continual source of
annoyance and expense, not only to those
compelled to use them daily. but to all per-
sons who use any article hauled over them,
and this includes every one between the
cradle and the death bed.
GOOD Roads" is a topic in which every
community should be interested. The road
fund of the county or the several road dis
tricts is not sufficient to permit of the
building of good roads at once, but by
agreeing upon suitable plan of improve
ment and following the same out system
atically, with the help of every person in
each community directly interested, be.
ginning may be made at once. A little
work we'll done will be followed by more
work equally we'll done, and experience
will result in the improvement of methods.
First of all, let the people resolve to aban.
don, at the earliest moment. the present
primitive ways of spoiliDg roads. A desire
for good public highways will be followed
by the determination to have them, and
with this determination will come good
roads.-Visalia Delta.

ORPHEUM.-Whilet there is but one new
team on the bill al the Orpheum for this
week, the program is new-each of the
Followers changing their act from that of
last week. However, the new team is
worth half dozen ordinary people. Cason
and Herbert, the newcomers, are billed
as grotesque acrobatic clowns, which they
prove to be in all that the words imply.
Their act is whole show, or rather a
circus, by itself. Their act is most difficult
to describe in way that the reader would
gain fair idea of just what it is like. AS
acrobats they excel, yet even their aero
batic work is replete with rich comedy.
Sometimes one may hear of a person who
has been scared out of his clothes, but one
has to see Cason and Herbert to see man
jump through hoop and in the jumping
go into a new suit OF clothes to know how
that trick is done. How the clown of the
team can make his jumps, dives and falls
and escape without broken neck is a
mystery to all, except the clown, who evil
IDENTIFY knows how the trick is done. To
miss seeing Cason and Herbert is to miss a
circus.

voices blend in such perfect harmony as
the case in this instance. A feature of the
