AMUSEMNETS.

There was good house at the Clunie
last night. The audience manifested
it's satisfaction with the quadruple bill
by the Moulton Company in very
flattering manner. There has been no
better dramatic work done here in re-
fined comedy than that of Miss Dallas
in THE Baron's Wager" and Mr.. Glib
ney in "a Game of Cards" The first
requires intelligent comprehension of
the character of a proud, modest, gen
tlewoman, who is surprised by the sud
den entry of a stranger in her boudoir
late at night, just as she has returned
from a ball He comes preferring a
singular request, but is manifestly
gentleman, and not intending offense. 1t
would be very easy to make the charac-
ter of the Marquise, or any woman SO
situated, unattractive and even repul-
sive It is difficult to make it charming,
as does Miss Dallas. To overdo and de-
grade the part would need only to slight
ly change the infections in the reading of
the lines and the bearing of the woman
on the stage. Mr.. Lonergan gives the
lady admirable support, and is fully in
harmony with her conception Of how
such a character should be borne. Mr..
Gibney's Chevalier in "a Game of
Cards" deserves to rank with Felix
Morris reading of the same part. 1t is
an artistic work of the best order, and
we'll repays for an evening at the thea
ter The farce, 1.-TWO Jim Dandies,"
with Mr. Moulton in the lead and Mr..
Stockbridge as an excellent foil, COM
pletes a varied dramatic programme,
which is supplemented by the mind
reading exhibition of McIvor Tyndall,
who puzzles every committee that has
superintended his exhibitions. The
quadruple bill will be repeated every
evening this week, which is the last Of
Mr. Moulton's superior company in Sac
ramento.

A story from Lnndnn.

A woman living in humble circum-
stances in London had a windfall n
day. As she vas passing through Han
over Square she found IN the sidewalk
a roll of twenty-five tive-pound notes
about six hundred and twenty-five dol
lars. 1t had evidently slipped from the
pocket Of some careless mar and gave
no clue to the ownership. The woman
examined the notes, and was tempted
to keep them, but she was as honest as
she was poor and shrank from taking
what was not her own. She went to
the police authorities, handed to them
the money and left her address, expect
ing that the owner, when he was found,
would give her a practical proof Of his
appreciation Of honesty.
The owner of the lost property was
discovered by the police, but took his
own view OF the case. He counted the
notes suspiciously. declared that two
were missing, and that the woman must
have stolen them. A reward he would
not pay, because he insisted that she
had already secured It dishonesty. She
stoutly asserted her innocence, and he
threatened to prosecute her for theft.
The poor creature appealed to a Lon
don magistrate to take action on her
behalf, but although he contemptuous-
ly described the owner Of the lost prop
erty as "a being in the shape of a man."
he could not compel the ungrateful fell
low to reward her suitably. Indeed,
she received cold comfort from the
magistrate. He inveighed loudly
against her accuser, but frankly told
her that he could do nothing for her.
and that she would have acted wisely If
she had not gone to the police with the
money.
That was strange and unwise coun-
sci for a magistrate or from any one,
but it emphasized the fact that the man
who had carelessly lost dis money was
not promoting the ends of morality by
his ingratitude In refusing to reward an
llI-clad woman who had successfully re-
sisted temptation.

Old Philadelphia Families in DR..
MitcheI.,s New Story.

The older families of Philadelphia
will be especially interested in "Hugh
Wynne, Free Quaker" by DR.. Weir
Mitchell, which begins In the Novem-
Der number of The Century. Some
families like the Aliens, named here
and there in the book, are still repre-
sented in blood if not in name. The
Biddles, Owen and Clement, who were
free Quakers, are characters ia the
story, as are the Chews and %Shippens,
who stood mostly for the o W The
interesting relation Of Friends to the
Revolution comes up with the names
of Logan, Fisher, Pemberton, Howell,
Wetherili. Scattergood, Vain and
Wharton, who are all in the book, as
we'll as the gregtest of Pennsylvania's
Old lawyers, James Wilson, and the
famous DR.. Benjamin Rush. Many
other well-kC own Philadelphia names
appear among the subsidiary charac-
ters,-Fergusop, Graydon, Cadwalder.
etc. The proprietary set is represented
by the Penns, Willings, and others.
It is safe to S ~ that DIR. Mitchell's
novel will have a large reading here in
Philadelphia.

Va, sw;ndline Trick.

The latest swindling game was prac-
ticed successfully the other day at Ben
ton, Pa. Two men, who appeared to
be strong silver and gold advocates
were in the central depot and became
involved in a heated discussion. The
gold man offered to get a gold double
eagle that il he hammered the coin into
a shapeless mass # would still be worth
500. He was ostensibly taken up by
the silver advocate, but when 1t came
to selling the lump to Jeweler Roth the
store was closed. James Hagerty, a
strong sound money advocate who
stood by and who had implicit faith in
the value Of gold, gave the man $50 for
the battered coin. The two enfhusi-
asts disappeared shortly after, and then
It was discovered that the metal left
by them wal spurious.

The sting ray, a member of the skate
family, Is a dangerous inhabltant of
Florida water. The largest specimens
of the kind. weighing from 400 to 500
pounds, live at great depths, and are
seldom found inshore, but rays from
t.lirty to forty pounds are often eneoun-
tered near the land, and natives con-
slider them to be fully as dangerous as
the octopus or the much-dreaded blue
sh lark.
The fish is a large, broad, iat-bellied
creature, with eyes Of a golden tint, a
sharp, spearnke ap~Sendage at the end
Of the back and a long, slender tail
that reminds one much of a b~lacksnake
whip. This whip tall serves as a lariat
with which an enemy may first be las
seed, and then the barbed spine finishes
the work by l~acerating the victim in a
rrightful manner. The sting ray is a
villainous creature from any point Of
view, and has no friends in this or any
other latitude.
In the Atlantic ocean between the
shores OF the Bahama alands and the
Florida coast there lives a strange crea-
ture known as the g~laucus, or sea liz
ard. 1t ID seldom, II ever. found near
the land, but seems to prefer deep wat
err and a hot sea, especially where a
strong current exists. 1t La well known
that this portion Of the gulf stream.
crowded In between the Bahamas and
Florida, is very rapid, and therefore the
conditions 80 favorable to the e liz
ard are here to be found to a greater
degree than elsewhere In the known
world.
As a substitute for forelegs It has two
broomshaped fans, and from about the
middle OF the body, including the tail,
there are several more fms that spread
out like a fan.
