ALMOST A RIOT in MADRID

rid says: This city was the

little TO haze turned it into a
serious riot. As told on Tues
day last, number of men loot
ed General Cam POS rs he was
driving to his residence from
the railway station, on his re-
turn from Cuba. a number
were arrested and one of them
broke away from the gendar-
mes who had him i'll custody
and sought to make lis escape.
Tile geudarmes fired twice at
him and killed him. The shoot
ing was bitterly condemned by
tie republicans. The funeral
Of the victim took place and
was attended by an enormous
crowd. Fully 10000 men, most
of whom were republicans,
marched to the cemetery, shout
ing for the entire distance,

with Campos," and Long live
the republic" The government
anticipated trouble and there
was a strong display Of gendar-
mes who, however, appeared to
be afraid to interfere with the
procession in any way less they
provoke a riot. Consequently
the crowd shouted itself hoarse
until the cemetery was reached,
when the great assembIage
stood with barred heads until
the funeral rites had been COM
pleted. The greater portion of
the crowd them then dispersed,
but 1000 of its number formed
in line and marched unmolested
to the royal palace, in front of
which they gathered unmolest-
ed and shouted, Death to the
king" Death to the queen re-
gent" and Long live the re-
public" Even the palace guards
seemed to be inundated by
the sullen temper of the mob
and made not the slightest at
tempt to drive them away. Af

against the youthful king and
his mother, the crowds march

CANNES. where n similar de-
monstration Of disapproval was
made. The apathy of the police,
which was uuquestioDably due
to fear, was significant. So far
as is known the civil authori-

crowd. The crowds committed
no overt acts, however, content

LoNDoN's PUBLIc-HoUsEs.

The,t parishes have few churches
and ten times as many public-houses.
The public-houses explain a great many
of the miseries Of the miserable locality.
There may be some teetotalers there, but
there are not many; and there are almost
as few drinkers who are always moderate
in their litations. The curse of bitter
beer, raw Scotch whiskey, and "tup-
penny gin" rests heavy on the place.
Public opinion is no weapon against 1t,
for public opinion openly favors drinking
whenever one has the necessary money,
and does not regard actual drunkenness
as a disgrace worth mentioning.
Women drink at the bars as unconcern-
edly as men do, and barmaids serve them.
The bar-room Is the gossip place, and
babes and small children are carried to it
and kept in il by careful mothers who
gather there for the days necessary talk.
Infants sometimes cry, and at such times
are permitted a sip from the maternal
glass, quite as other children are bribed
with chocolate drops. Thus blear eyes
and drink-reddensd faces often have early
beginnings. The children of the streets
are dirty, ragged ana vociferously happy
over small things. Adults are not geuine-
ly happy; there Is no reason why they
should be. They derive much spasmodic
merriment from the public houses.
Drunkenness and fighting are common
everywhere, especially on the streets

If WE COULD MOVE TO MARS.

1t Is not necessary to consider the va
rious reasons that would impei many in
habitants OF the earth to go to Mars IL
they had the opportunity. But no one
can doubt that the first train for Mars, or
the first balloon, or the first electric liner
sent out by the Universal Celestial Trans
portation and Safe Delivery Company,
Mars Division, would be booked to its
utmost capacity. Curiosity alone would
suffice to crowd it, and ii is certain that
the Anglo-Saxon race, whfcn has fur
nished most OF the great travellers, would
be fully represented in the throng of ad-
venturers bound for another world.
When Mars is nearest to the earth its
distance is no less tnan SO, 000, 0OO miles.
But IL we set our speed to match that of
an electric impulse flying through the
Atlantic cable say 1900 miles per Sec
ond-we should be there in just 40 min
utes.
On approaching Mars we should behold
world looking in some respects remark bly,
like the earth, having seasons resembl-
ing ours, with torrid, temperate, and
rigid zones; turning on its axis like our
globe, and in nearly the same time;
showing in winter broad white caps, as
snow, covering its polar regions, and pre-
senting many appearances suggestive of
continents, oceans, islands, and penin-
sulas. AS we watched II slowly turning
under our eyes, I'VE should see on one side,
south of its equator, huge, stsring eye-'
like spot, which Schiaparelli mas named
the "Lake of the Sun, ~ and on the op-
posite side, reaching from the southern
hemisphere into the northern, great,
dark, crooked area, somewhat resembling
North America in shape, and known to
astronomers as the "Hour-glass sea. ."And
then all the globe beneath us would ap-
pear to be mapped with delicate reds and
yellows and grays and blues; long waving
curves and sharper indsntations would
make their appearance in what looks like
coast-likeness; and presently, running east
and west and south and north. and pas
sing "beyond the horizons utmost rim, -
a network of darkco lored lines, like a vast
web covering the planet, would be seen.
These are the famous canals
But while we were wondering what this
could mean, we should be struck by an
other unearthlike thing. Being accus-
toned to dwell on globe three-fourths
OF whose surface Is covered with water, ii
could not escape our notice that the
world we were approaching had far more
land than water. Indeed, it is likely
that we should find that the "Hour-glass
Sea, and many of the other so-callled
seas of Mars, are only part OF the time
filled with water, and that even they are
not like terrestrial oceans, but rather
vast swamps, choked with rank yegeta-
tion suddenly awakened to life by period
ical inundations supplying moisture to
their roots. Visiting them at another
time, we should find only deserts with
cracked soil baking in the sun. At any
rate, some of the discoveries made with
things. -Harper's Round Table.

IN A GREEK CAFE.

Neither was Mahmoud with me when
/ went to the Greek Fair, within mile
OF Sweet Waters, the beautiful fountain
and the more beautiful houris, whose
eyes shone large and luminous through
their thin wells. This day the air was
delicious, the sky like delicate plate,
with puffs Of white clouds in high relief.
For hours j watched the merry-go-
rounds, and the jugglers on their mats,
until grew hungry enough for even a
Greek Cafe--and il is a brave and reckless
appetite that dares an Oriental Kitchen.
This cafe was under tree, with few
pine boards for table, the galley being
within handing distance, with a charcoal
fire blazing. The abominations of stew
and fry and toastings were intolerable; /;
but ] succeeded In getting a box OF
sardines and half pint of native wine,
a loaf of bread end some raw tomatoes
and salt with a bit of onion. which 1
gathered up and spread out on the pine
boards. When the combination of chef,
head waiter and proprietor, all covered
by one fez, presented his bill, ii amounted
TO a sum that would have supported an
Oriental and his family for a month.

assumed an ugly look, threw upon the
ground silver coin, equal TO one-fourth

bystanders considered the sum too ap-
pallingly large even for a Greek Fair

A MASCULINE HIGH TEA.

A young married woman, wishing to
entertain some of her husbands friends
in way that would be neither difficult
nor expensive, hit upon the happy idea
of high tea. She had never heard of a
high tea "for gentlemen only" but why
should she not have one? Her home was
small, and she must make her own re-
assto allow her TO spend her evening In
the parlor. She asked two pretty girls
TO help her, and between them they had
a tea that was the delight of the iortu-
nate men who were present. AT 10 O'Clock
the guests were summoned o. the dining
room, where WAS the table daintily ser
with places for 15-12 men and three wo-
men. The hostess presided over a chatting
dish at the head OF the board, a pretty
girl over another at the foot, while hall
way down the table another girl was seat
ed in front OF the silver urn and coffee
cups. Lobster a la Newburg was made
In one chafing dish, and oysters a In poul-
cite I'm the other. With these we're psfses
piles OF delicious walnut mayonaise fand-
witches. This course over, two white
capped and aproncd maids removed the
dishes, and brought i'm their place two
loaves OF smoking hot boston trownbread
and huge earthen jar OF baked beans.
The appearance OF these was received with

W. d. HowELLs ON THE THEATER.

II will be said by the injudicious that
the theater is now what the people wish
Ii to be, and that they have a right to
buy what they wish, there as elsewhere.
But the people do not suffer themselves
TO buy what they wish elsewhere, IL they
wish evil, and to say that they had a
right to do so would be to justify every
internal license and abuse.
For my part believe that the thenters
are largely bad because the managers
think the people want them so, and not
because the people really want them so,
or the managers want them SO. The peo-
pie take what they can get, and the man
ayers give them quite empirically this
thing or that. But IL q good thing finds
itself on the stage it prospers there far
beyond the evil thing. "Ihe Old Home
stead" remained two or three years at one
theater in New York; "Shore Acres" is
now in its third year, and the people are
not weary of 1t. What vile play has held
the stage SO long as these charming and
blameless things? What lewd opera of
those called comic has ever pleased SO
/. long as Gilbert's pieces, where neither
song. nor dance, nor dialogue is ever in
decent?
No, beloved. we are not so black as the
fame, OF the playwrights and the manag-
ers paint US. The worst of II is that now,
with the cost Of the seats so great as to be
prohibitive, the theater Is cut of from the
CTltlclSfn Oh tne DeSt american
public, for the best of the American peo-
Ne who earn their livings, and are of
such small incomes that they cannot
afford to pay the theater prices. 1t is TO
luxury, to idleness, to surfeit, to ennui
the stage plays now, and strives to i'm
part new sensation.
With all our passion for the drama, the
average American cannot go to the thea
ter The average Frenchman can, the
very poorest Frenchman can, for the
French theaters are bound by their or
ganic law, ny their leave from the State
to exist, to give once O week. a fortnight,
or month, free performance, which all
may see who can get into the house. Inn
agine that Actually, II Is as IL poor
cioskmaker or a street sweeper could see
play by Irving or by Hare, or could
find himself spectator In a good seat at a
Shakespeare performance OF Days, or a
presentation OF Gilbert opera, or a
drama OF Mr.. Herne's, or n play by Mr..
Crane and his company. II il hardly i'm
aginable, but ii Is true--in Paris.
IL we had one public theater, or the
control of the theaters by the board OF
education, or IL the board of education
would authorize free monthly perform
ances of good plays, as IL now authorizes
the delivery of free, weekly lectures, the
quality OF drama WOULD at once improve.
