very soon disappear from the stage. A
very large percentage of the ordinary

jure its popularity. "Christian people"
would not think it respectable" to sit
through play which had been con-

that is needed is n little more minis

capital of Russia, and every one Of
them will reply, "St. Petersburg " 1t
may be small matter, but in point
of fact the proper name is "Peters-

who insist upon the Saint" The city
was founded by Peter the Great, and is
named after him. 1t is quite true that
Peter was one of the most extraordinary
men that ever filled a throne, but no
one would have been more astounded
than himself at being dubbed a saint.
He neither lived nor died in the odor of
sanctity, and it is hard to find out how
it became the English fashion to mis-
call the splendid town he founded.

AMERICAN HORSES SELL WELL
Ready Market for Them at Fair Prices
In Belfast, Ireland.

In Belfast, Ireland.
According to the United States vice
consul at Belfast, there is good
market in Ireland for American horses.
He reports:
For several months my attention has
been attracted to the large influx of
horses for this market from the United
States and Canada, the majority COM
ing from the latter country. The stock
is usually bought up with ayidity and
fair prices received. They usually
arrive via Liverpool or Glasgow in con-
signments of from 20 to 60 head by
steamer from New York or Montreal,
principally by the latter route. After
arriving in Belfast they are turned over
to horse bazar to be sold by auction.
The auction is we'll advertised several
days in advance of the sale, and the
bidders, consisting of country and town
folk, are quite numerous.
"At a recent sale there were offered
% horses, consisting of matched pairs,
broughams, trappers, cobs and ponies
and two trotters. The lot was con-
signed by a Chicago firm, and arrived
per steamship Pomerania at Glasgow
from Montreal, and thence direct to
Belfast. The attendance was exception
ally large and bidding brisk, although
no unsual prices were offered. The entire
consignment, with one exception, was
sold. 1 learn that the entire cost for
transportation, feeding and care for
each animal from Chicago to Belfast
was S37."
