AT THE THEATER.

Fate Goodbar's McFee's Matrimonial Bureau pis ased a small audience at the opera house last night. The play has little plot, but is based on one of Ameri- ca's idiosyncracies which carries with it forewarning of some very funny situations. The company includes some good people. J. E. Gidson as Owen Me Fee, Billy Allen as Barney Mcguire, and Chelso D. Peruchi were the leading fun makers. Edith Talbot as Lucy, ambi- tious to enter royal society, is an at tractive little actress. She tells those little naughty jokes, but she coated them over with such dainty smiles and graceful ways that she soon made hit. She sang several catchy songs and Rubber caught the crowd. Miss Knott and MT. Gurville made pleasing impression with their singing. There Is a matinee today and a performance to- night.

RETURN OF AN AFRICAN EXPLORER.
Traveller Makes Discoveries and Is Nearly Killed
 by an Elephant.

From the London Chronicle
 H. s. H. Cavendish, cousin of the duke of Devonshire, has just returned to England after fifteen months absence in eastern central Africa. MT. Caven- dish, who may be said to be the young est African explorer-he is only 21 years of age-has had some remarkable expe- riences. Four times the members of his caravan mutinied and on two occa- sions they threatened his life. He also had an extraordinary escape from death while elephant shooting near Lake Ru- dolph, a tusker that he had wounded, but failed to kill, owing to a cartridge tanning, charging him and almost tramping him to death. The geopraghi- cal results of the expedition are very valuable, MT Cavendish having visited parts in Africa hitherto unexplored and discovered a large lake and also a vol cano. MT Cavendish said: q left England alone in July of last year and at Alden was joined by Lieut.. Andrews, of the Black Watch, who had arranged to accompany me on sporting trip and in an expedition to parts of eastern central Africa previously unexplored by Euro peans. We were specially anxious to map in the western of Lake Rudolph, which had never been visited by a white man. After completing our caravan, which comprised eighty-four armed So- mails and 150 camsls, at Berbera, we proceeded to Lugh, on the Juba, to which place we had fairly easy march. We after crossing the Borani country reached there in safety. The Boranis had attacked Dr. Donaldson Smith, the American explorer, when he was in their country, but we were lucky enough to receive from them nothing but kind nc n,tYf f1er of 41 we discovered and photographed a salt lake crater named Sodigo Vo, mile and half wide and nearly 1900 feet deep, which Dr. Smith had been unable to To- cate,i and which had never before been seen by a white man."
 Round Lake Stephanis the explorer had some excellent sport and it was here that she was caught by wounded ele- phant
 My escape" said MT. Cavandish, "was nothing less than miraculous. The great beast, mad with rage, was. charg- ing me, whsn at the critical moment my gun failed me and I had to turn and run. But the elephant soon caught me and going on his knees tried to pin me to the ground with his tusks. Failing in this he caught me with his trunk and flung me round under his body with the idea of crushing me to death. How I escaped I do not know, as I was in this situation for half an hour. At the end of that time the great brute got up and, kicking a piece of wood which he doubt less took to be my dead body, made off to his retreat. Curiously enough I had no bones broken. I was covered with blood and owing to the pressure my body was for some time covered with boils. Near Lake Stephanie I discovered an extensive coat bed"
 Between Lakes Stephanie and Rudolph MT. Cavendish experienced great difficult ties with his escort, some of whom mu-

M'ELR0Y'S SHARP REPLY.
Advises Petersen to Keep in His Own Class and
 Stipulate Weights in Challenges.

Sporting Editor Age-Herald
 In regard to Pete Petersen's s.alte- ment in The Age-Herald that I had nerve to challenge him, I wish to say that I did not challenge him. I only accepted his challenge. He did not name any weight, and he barred no one fin the state. I do not think that I would make a reputation by defeating a lightweight freak like him, and as I have defeated him once, do not think that 1t would place anything to my cred- it to defeat him again. Now, if he wants to fight, as he stated in his first chal- lenge, he barred no one in the state, and that includes me, and if not, let him stick to his own class. Petersen did not state that the conditions of the match last winter were that l had to stop him in ten rounds or forfeit the purse, which I voluntarily placed upon myself, he be- ing a few pounds lighter.
 My fighting weight is 15S pounds, am here and he knows 1t and if he does not want to go out of his class he should have stated so in his first challenge. Hoping that I won't have to ask you for space in which to answer this Beef Stew Fighter

"0NE TOUCH OF RILEY"
A Memorable Tribute to the Hoosier Poet by a
 New England Orator.


 The following eloquent tribute to James Whitcomb Riley is from an ad- drs ss delivered in Boston. Carlyle or Curtis never said anything finer of Rob- ert Burns. Here is the tribute:
 James Whitcomb Riley comes to us as a boy on farm comes from the old we'll in the meadows, spining his pitcher of song along on the way. The unique and unrivaled genius is a native of the Hoosier state. Boyhood and early manhood were passed working on a farm in Indiana and rambling through tha neigIhbaIing villages. Many day he dreamed away in the meadows, listening listlessly, yet learning the birds songs, and stocking the palette of his polt.c in- agination with all-the colors of the laJd- scape, till finally he took the music of the brook, the sweet-scented soul Of the clover, the solos of the birds, and and all the symphonias of field and wood, and wove them into happy words. Astride the rail fence, talking with the fellow at the blow, chatting with the boys at the country store, visiting as friend the families for miles around, he learned all there was in tblls miniature yet model world; he learnsd to know and love and SympathiZe with the people he met; and L1e then added to his poets harp th5 heaIlt-Strings of men, women and children. He writes of the real world, the iedal world, of the plain, yet princely people whom he knew; theSs are the people whom he knew; these are the people who have walked and talked in Riley's Ife, and they are the men he puts in his verse. He never leaves his own home for the landscape, nor his own acquaintances for the character of his song. Their faces shine and smile through it all; it is their laughter, their sorrows and joys-4t is their fields and farms and homes, the familiar spots of his own Hoosisr home-that he writes of, and somehow he appeals to all the world.
 one touch of Riley makes the whole world kin.
 If you enjoy the scenes and songs of summer-the msadows, where the sum shine p1oughs It's golden furrows across The shadows; the ZigZag rail fence stag gering across the landscape; lazy groups of sunf1owerS 1oafing in the corners of the fistd where little yellow butterflies fly over the clover in twos and twos like clipping couples of buhtercups; and their big scarlet comrades fiickering like flame among the fiowlrs; bobolinks and blue birds in the air, like winged cameos and sapphires, glittering and twittering and Singing and over all the great white sails of clouds drifting dreamily over the blua-if your life las lost something, or you are yearning for the unattained, perhaps unattainabne; if you are touch- ed by memories of the past and thrilled by hopes of coming days; if you have love for the old and dreams of the new -then you will enjoy Riley

AND THE BLOW ALMOST
For It Meant Twenty Years of Labor Thrown
 Away.

From the Washington Star
 Representative Eddy, of M nnesota, has the cleanest meefschaum pipe in Wash ington. He is man who makes friend of his pipe. Tt is his companion when alone. He dreams over it, phil osophizes over it, and it is sort of continent to aid in the digestion of the books he reads. Fer twenty y ars or more he has had one favorite meer- schaum pipe. It has been his pride and the comfort of his quiet hours. It was a beautiful and expensive pipe when he got it, and year after year deeper rich ness of color came upon it, until it came to be just about as perfect in every re- spect as a mserschaum can be. A few days ago the amber stem got broken.
 MT. Eddy took it to a foreigner who has shop on a side street in this city and who was recommended as a repairer of broken novelties. The next day the mender of novelties appeared with the pipe carefully done up in a cloth.
 '4Ah," he said, q dona a bea-u- tiful repair. It Is, ah, so bea-u-tiful lika new" and as he unwound the cloth a proud smile played across his dark face. Then he held the pipe up to it's owners eyes, A new amber replaced the brok- en stem and the pipe was white and new looking.
 'It was, oh. so dirty. T thought I cleana 1t. With alcohol and sandpaper, very fine sandpaper, I cleana it beau-u tifully"
 The pipe had been carefully sandpa- pered-very carefully sandpapered.

FIELD TRIALS.
Good Weather and Sport

Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 19--A special to the Observer from Newton, says: This has been another good day for the eastern field trials. The temperature this morning was about four degrees be- low freezing, colder than on any preV1- ous day of the trials. Efficient work in the field, success in finding coveys of birds and general satisfaction at the progress and results of these trials in- creased as the temperature fell, and the sportsmen went forth today feeling that this would be, in many respects, the most successful and satisfactory day of this season of sport and they were not. disappointed. Birds were found in plentiful quantities. The subscription stake, began yesterday, was continued today, but was not concluded.

PRINCET0NlANS ARRIVE
At Now Haven Ready, For Tussle With
 Yale's Eleven.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 19.-The Princeton foot ball panty reached this city at 9:45 tonight. The party number ed fifty-one, of which forty-nine are play CTS. Of the picked squad all but four are in tip-top shape physically. None of the party cared to speak of Prince tons chances in tomorrows struggle, but it is evidsnt that the eleven players are not afflicted with over confidence, and do not feel as sanguine of a, sweep ing victory as some of their more enthu- siastic supporters.
 The arrival of Old Nassau's heroes to- night was all that was required to furn- ish all kinds of foot ball enthusiasm, but the excitement failed to reach the mem bers of Yals's team. Every member of the eleven will enter tomorrow's game in as fine a physical condition as is pos sible.
 Princeton is looked upon as the proba- ble winner in tomorrow's gam=, but it ds officially given out at Yale that to- morrow's game will be worth coming miles to see.

 "At the bottom of Lake Rudolph found that Teleki's volcano had disap- peared. There had been an eruption and a sort of tidal wave had caused the hot lava to form into a great level bed five miles in extsnt. Another volcano had sprung up about three miles due south. We discovered a lake ten miles south of Rudolph thirty-six miles long known as the Sugota lake, and also a fresh volcano known as Sugaba. The fish in the Ialos had been killed by one of these volcano eruptions and the ground was covered with them. I sketched in the whole of the western shores of Lake Rudolph hitherto unknown and found some new antelope"
