OAherA Oh us NAAatssams
It is as old as the Proverbs that the
cobbler's children ara always poorly
shod.
The restaurant man goes home for
dinner. and the bartender is a total alb
stainer.
The druggist may patronize the faith
cure and inc railway man knows of no
greater luxu-y than n ride in n buggy.
The street car conductor is glad 10 get
day Off, so he can take a long walk
A more remarkable case than any OF
these is that Of the head usher at the
theater. and one theator in particular.
Probably every playgoer in Chicago
knows him. Ihe title Of "head usher"
does him an injustice. He i more like G
host or the chief Of reception commit
tee.
There are head ushcrs who pOunce
upon you, grab the coupons, thrust them
back into your fumbled hands and shout,

There are other head ushers who tell
you to hurry up or step lively. They
give loud warming that all coupons must
be ready.
They shout, Hey, thereP' and are
constantly distracted because Of the i'm
mense responsibility which they imagine
is resting upon them.
As som rs a snippy young man gets
into a box Office Ur is engaged rs an
usher, he begins TO imagine that he
Jwns the house. the company and a good
part Of the frontage in the block.
But the exceptional head usher is
calm, polite, attentive and solicitOus.
No matter how rapidly the crowd may
pour in, it seems that every one who
comes receives some courtesy at his
hands.
He doesn't shout or grab and the
\ small children are not afraid Of him

is that lie knows very little about actors
or plays.
The other evening. when tho house

TRIcKlNe A CRAB.
African Natives Take Advantage OF His
Industry In = Heartless Manner.

African Natives Take Advantage OF His
Industry In - HeartIess Manner.
In Africa there exists certain mem
ber Of the crab genus commonly known
as the great tree crab This peculiar
shcllfsh has an offensive trick Of
crawling mp the cOcoanut trees, biting
of the cocoanuts and then creeping
down again backward
The theory Is that the nuts are shat
tered by the fall. and the great tree crab
l. thus enabled TO enjoy hearty meal
Now, the natives who inhabit regions
infested by this i'll conditioned crab are
well aware that tho lower portion Of the
crabs anatomy is soft and sensitive, and
they believe that the "bivalve" was
thus constructed in order that he might
know when he had reached the ground,
and when. consequently. he might with
safety release his grasp If the trunk
30 what they do in order TO stop his
dcprcdationS, which often ruin the CO.
cuanut crops. is this: While the crab Is
engaged in nipping of the cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive a row Of long nails right
around the tree, allowing an inch or 80
of the nails 20 project.
The crab has no knowledge Of diSls-
ter. nor vet the fitness IF things. As he
dcScends the sensitive part of his body
suddenly touches the nails. Thinking he
has reached the ground, ne naturally
lets go Instantly he falls backward and
cracks his own shell ON the ground

A FLIMSY EXCUSE.

Those most dlrectly Y concerned
in a solution of Indian Territory
complications have a just griev-
ance against the senate. The
house committee was willing to act
on the suggestions of the Dawes
Commission, and had it not been
for the senate steps would have
been taken by this congress to pro-
teet the Indians and the white
citizens.
The senate wants further in
vestigations and more cOmpre-
henSive reports. 1t would be
difficult for any body of men to
describe the conditions prevailing
in the Indian Territory more
clearly than has already been done
by the Dawes Commission.
If the senate is determined to
proceed with caution the statistical
information it desires could be sub
mitted to the commission which
must be appointed when the lands
are allotted.
Congress is not concerned about
the exact number of intruders and
full blood Indians. Whether the
intruders number 3OO,O 900 or 350,-
600 is a matter of small consequ-
ence, The precise number of full
blood CherokeeS or Greeks Oh
Chickasaws entitled to allOtments
is an absolutely immaterial matter
These figures have been APP
prOximately given i'll the Dawes
report and congress is in posses
sion of all essential facts.
If the senate wants to offer al
excuse for its delay it should fine
one less absurd than a request fol
additional information. After til,
information asked has beeI
obtained it will perhaps be i'll or
der for the senate to inquire as t,
the exact number of trains whicl
have been robbed by Indian Ter
ritOry outlaws, with an estimate Of
the booty secured. Loui,

Fire Raging at the Culm Dump of the

Under Control Now.

The raging fire In the culm dump ~
ing between the Meadow Brook break
er and the South steel MILL which for
some time has been burning so close to
the breaker that 1t threatened to de-
stroy 1t, has been checked to the extent
that all fear of such result can be
Quieted. II the large structure should
become ignited there are two or three
houses In such proximity that the most
strenuous efforts of the fire companies
would be required to save them.
The breaker has not worked In more
than year, but the machinery Is still
in 1t. An organized force of men have
been working night and day to prevent
the breaker from going UP In smoke.
The culm near 1t has been reduced to
ashes. and no further danger Is expect
ed. The destruction Of the dump will
be big loss to the company in view
of the fact that the culm can be readily
utilized for fuel.

also growing morally healthier, as the
subjoined tables and comparisons will

That there should be a decrease in
crime last year as compared with the
year previous Is remarkable, but fact,
nevertheless. In 1894, according to
Chief Simpsons report, there were 2174
arrests, in 1895 there were 2,O45, a de-
crease of 129. Drunkenness and it's at
tendant crimes. disorderly conduct and
fighting, which constituted the greater
part or the offenses. also showed a
marked decrease. In 1894 these Of

they dropped to 1,266. The fines collect
