THE FLASH LIGHT SIGNAL.

The movement to establish flash
light signal station in connection with
the weather bureau inaugurAted by the
Young Mems Business League Of this
city, is an important one to the sgricul-
tural interests Of this section, and we'll
deserving of success. President Stone,
Of the Business League, has addressed
letter to Congressman O!ey on the sub.
ject. which ia published In this issue Of
THE TIMES. giving In brief some reasons
why the station should be located on
Mill mountain, and the matter will no
doubt be attended to by Mr.. Osey with
that cheerful prompsness which has
markell his course in ell matters OF in-
terest to his constituents.
The agricultural interests of this sec
ton are not only very great, but are
constsntly increasing. The fash light
plan OF notifying the people of the sur
rounding country OF the important
weather changes will prove of great ad :
growers in helping them to ward off i'm
pending danger to their crops, or In
making any other modification of their
plans in accordance with the informa.
ton thus conveyed. 1t is hoped the
Government will lend ready assist
ance to the movement, and that the
necessary appropriation will be made
for securing to the people of this sec
ton all the benefits to be derived from
the location Of the signal.
It Is hoped farmers and business men
Of this section will aid the movement as
much as possible, and IS means Of
doing so it is suggested that they send
in promptly their endorsement OF the
plan to secure the signal, either to the
president of the Young Mems Business
League or THE TIMES.

Tho Banana Eaters of Kentucky.

Ono of tho most novel and interesting
events in sporting circles which has occur
rcd in the city for some time was the
banana eating contest between two prom.
mont young mon of the city, Mcssrs
Garrett Welsh and John Luby, which took
place in tho fruit stand of Mr.. Fugazzi,
on Main street, last night. Tho contest
was tho outgrowth of some remarks made
somo time previous on the capacity OF the
contestants. Each had friends present
who were backing them clear off of the
boards. The summary Is as follows: At
the drop OF tho flag Starter Dan Crow sent
thom off to good start, with Welsh a
half banana in the lend. He led Luby to
tho quarter, where no was overtaken. At
tho half Luby had 3S bananas to his credit,
with Welsh close second with SO. Here
Welsh went out after tho money, and at
the three-q quarters it was Welsh by ba-
nanas, but Welsh was showing signs OF
distress. Turning into the stretch, Luby &
jockey, McGurk, went for another stalk
of bananas and succeeded in nosing out
Welsh in fast time. Time: Luby, 81 ba-
nanas; Welsh, 81 bananas. Both ran a
consistent race and with better jockey
than McGinnis, Welsh should have won.
Both were sent to the stable to rest up.

The reform movement in Balti more
seems to have been strangled in It's
birth. The action of q Republican
council in taking from Republican
mayor all power of appointment and re-
moval OF officers, and the refusal OF the
Republican Legislature OF Maryland to
come to Mayor Hooper's relief will most
likely lead to the defeat OF that psrty at
the next election and the restoration of
Democratic supremacy in the city and
State. 1t seems to be the old story of
inordinate greed overfesching itself
and rendering sbostive the efforts OF the
best elements to SECURE reforms.

One dark evening I was returning
home from call on one Of our English
nelghbors in Taiyuenfu. When not far
from our compound, the road crossed an
open space of several acres in extent.
AS was finding my way along by the
rather dim light of Chinese lantern I
nearly stumbled over the body Of a man
who had fallen by the way. My first
impulse was to take hold of the person
and ascertain if help was needed, but
for some reason I did not, but hurried
home to get aid. Mr.. x. was still with
us and on hearing my statement said:
Eyes, know. The man is dead, and
it is fortunate that you did not attempt
to touch the body. Should we now try
to remove it or even to go to it we
should no doubt be seen and at once
suspicion would attach itself to us, and
none could tell the consequences We
might cause riot before morning."

would not have been because we were

circumstances would likewise have run

Though this quotation is not particu-
larly graceful, nor as full of hidden
logic ss few of Shakespeare's, 1t has
come to be regarded es classic among
those verseG in tho language OF the
stage.
IL comes from the lips of that classic
comedy Hebrew, "Saml of Posen," one
of the most remarkable comedy triumphs
of the age.
Mr.. Curtis will present this famous
comedy at the Academy of Music on
next Saturday night. Samr and his
creator, M. b. Curtis. are as synony-
nous as Jefferson and "Rip Van
Winkle." Mr.. Curtis, character artist
OF extraordinary talent, has returned to
the role of Sam'l after an absence Of
five years from the stage. He calls his
revised edition "Samn OF Posen, or the
Drummer Up-to-Date." The play has
been altered, and in its present form is
downright change for the better. Much

* q change OF programme at Harri-
Ran's WAS necessary, "Old Lavender"
WAS surely just the plsy to put forward
for the Christmas season. The dilari-
dated, moist, mellow and occasionally
pathetic central parsonage belongs in

Dickens or -,rsmas stories, and oonse-
quently is. by association, appropriate
to the season. Moreover, the play I'M

are considered essential in the Christ

Mr.. Harrigan regards "Old Lavender"
IS his best part. and probably he Ia
right. His skill In composition, his
fund Of personal humor and his dramatic
force are all we'll tested in this imper-
sonation. His portrayal Of the drunkard
is droll to the verge of grosesqueness,
but he is also pathetic, and, when need
be, forcible.
