vitupcrative epithets for the Democrats.
He said the Democratic policy of 16 to l

nothing else. He assured his audience
that Virgnia's vote to-day would go for
Mckinley lie said he believed the cleo
tion would be honest i'll Roanoke, but
that the election officers are thieves and

advised the illiterate voters to take a
piece of paper with the names written
on it for whom they wish to vote and
give it to the Judge Of elections who is to
scratch the ballot and then to be sure
that he has committed no fraud to hold
it up before the judges of election and ask
if it is scratched properly Then let them

would fight them to the bitter end.

There is Canadian dialect of French,
usually called the French Canadian pa
tots by patronizing people who know
little or no French, though such author
tiles as Mr.. Ferchette and Mr.. Will
liam Maclennan declare, I believe, that
it is much purer French than is spoken
by the "common people" in France.
But when you reflect on the SO called
French-C Canadian dialect of English you
will perceive that it is not dialect,
but simply broken English, varying as
to correctness according to the acquaint-
ance of the individual with a language
which is not his mother tongue.
A dialect of English such as the Scotch
or Irish Or Yankee or that of the Tennes-
see mountaineers is, take it, some we'll
established form Of the language COM
mon to multitude of people bred SIM
ilar1y and mostly living in one district.
1t is local language, varied little in
its usage by those nurtured in it. But
French Canadian English varies with
almost every user. Its degrees of cor
rectness range between the exquisite lit
erary English slightly modulated by
French tones that is spoken by such fin
ished orators as Mr.. Laurier or Mr..
Chapleau and the scarcely Ineligible
English of habitant beginning to prac-
tice in the foreign tongue. Here is no
local fixed form of English; here is no
dialect; here is nothing but great va
riety of cases of broken English in some
of which the language is spoken with
perfect facility. What the story writer
in or the reporter of French Canadian
English must do is to choose the case
that he will represent or report, and his
choice will of course be determined by |
the literary purpose that he entertains.

-.erlty OF the Old time agent has,
however, made that member arrogant
in these regards, and he now no longer
defers to the experience of the man
who plays. The latter must conform his
conduct to the direction of the box Office
man, and much and great is the dissatis-
faction resulting from this reversal of
function. Not the least important of the
dissatisfied parties is the public. 1t sees,
without knowing why, that there is
something wrong with both actor and
play, and it naturally blames the actor.
He is the one responsible to it. No
agent can represent the actor in his
work.
If the actor is blameworthy for help
ing to break !own the rational organi-
zation of Il theater, the manager is
equally SO !, II thrusting himself into the
actor's Pike and presuming to dictate
how and that plays shall be performed
Does it not always happen that the
pleasirs power of any given play or set
of plays is referred solely to the actors,

Chinese Wrestling In Hono1uIn.

1t is seldom one runs across Chinese
wrestlers in this city, but when he does
and two of them come together for a
friendly encounter then he is ready to
say in good faith he has "seen circus. "
In dirty, lighted room on Nuuanu
street the other night little knot of
dozen or SO Chinese sports gathered to-
gether to see two recognized profession
al Chinese wrestlers try conclusions
with each other.
The two came out from little ante
room, each with but scrap of clothing
on. Upon arriving in the middle Of the
floor they bowed and eyed each other
Tor fully two minutes. Recognizing
that the time was passing, they set to
work. The wrestling was very peculiar,
and, it was learned, was the kind used
IN the north Of China, from which place
the best exponents Of the art come. 1t
consists Of series Of pushes, kicks and
lodges which follow SO quickly upon
one another that it is hard to tell which
Is which.
Ihe climax was capped by one of the
contestants hitting the other in the face

After the furrier, chemist and dyer
have got through with the rabbit skin
it may be sealskin, sable, an otter,
a Siberian squirrel mink, marten,
beaver or any other fashionable fur.
The transformation takes place in the
shops which sell felt to hatmakers, car
pet weavers and felt manufacturers,
and Paris and London are the principal
centers for this industry. In those cities
millions Of rabbit skins are dressed and
treated, and the bogus furs are sent out
to robe men and women of all parts Of
the world.
Rabbit skins are not the only pelts
which are transformed into furs that
bear the names of animals living in ice
and snow. Monkeys from Africa and
South America send their skins to the
furrier to be made into fine raiment
Cats are skinned to supply the demand
for sealskins and beaver. The shaggy
curls of the Newfoundland dog are made
into buffalo robes, and the skins Of fox
tailed squirrels are sold as limitations of
rare furs.
The United States buys more imita-
tion furs than any other country, and
millions Of them are sent to China to
line the mantles and robes of mandarins
Large numbers of rabbit and cat skins
are treated and dyed in this country,
but the French furrier has the credit Of
producing the best limitations.
The furrier's trade is not healthy
one, for the dust and short hairs which
are beaten out of the skins fill the lungs
and thus shorten the lives Of many
workmen. This is not the case, how
ever, with American furriers. for ma
chinery and improved appliances used
in this country and better ventilation
serve to keep the air Of the workshops
comparatively free from the injurious
dust. In making fur clothing many
skins are sewed together, and the
workman not only must have the skill
necessary to conceal the seams, but must
be able to perfectly match the several
skins. Chicago Record.

A Deprayed Mule.

One Of the brightest Virginia women
in this city has fund of anecdote illus
trative of life among the old Dominion
darkies that is not surpassed by Thomas
Nelson Page himself. She was telling
the other night of young mule that
had been shipped on freight train to a
farmer in Fanquier county. A tag had
been tied securely around his neck with
q rope, with shipping directions thereon,
but in the course of his journey the
mules hunger and natural depravity
had tempted him to chew up both tag
and rope. This gave the darky brake
man great concern. He hurried back to
the caboose and saw the conductor.
"Mars George" he cried, :" fore
Gawd, whar yo' spects to put off dat
colt? 'E done eat up whar e gwine. -

He has gotten new gold bill.
When birds are merry and have good cheer
And roses nod i'll the garden bower,
Oh, then it is the sweet O. the year,
And love and the world in flower.
Come, lads and lasses, gamesome and glad,
With flute and tabor, come dance and sing!
Come, gather honey, o lass and lad,
While the merry years at the springl
For now comes in the sweet o. the year,
The sweet O. the year that tarries for mona
There come high summer and autumn scar,
And the year is over and DONE
Come, gather honey, o lad and lass;
The sweet o. the year is our portion once.
And he who mods while the gold hours pass
'Tis he is dullard and Ounce
For now comes in the sweet O. the year,
The birds are kissing on vale and hill,
The thrush has got new song for his dear,
And the blackbird a new gold bill.

Theatrical Managers Today.

A vast and disproportionat army Of
theatrical managers. men whose darling
desire it is to see their names in by 4
letters and their faces in five colors on
the advertising boards, has sprung up
by the opportunity afforded for the ex-
ercise of the art of getting something
for nothing. By imperceptible degrees
the position Of the actor has been en-
tirely changed. Once he was person
who possessed certain power and was
entitled to a certain consideration. He
knew how to act and what was neces-
sary toward the making Of a good play.
His opinion was deferred to and his
.dndRment soueht The commercial nroas
