What you require is probably here and in lar
ger, finer and better variety than elsewhere. 1t is
big department of ITSELF the Kid Gloves prom
inent feature of our business and one of the most

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
MoCullum's Theatre.

-
A strong card was offered at the Peaks
Island theatre last night, by BARLEY Nc
Cullum's clever and capable company.
Moths" o refined adaptation OF Ouida' S
novel, was presented to the utmost gratl'
fication of goodly gathering of first
nlghters, who were warm in their de-
monstrations of approval. The scenes
are located in France and Poland, and q
skeleton of the original story is retained
with its network Of strong society situa-
tions, sufficiently human to be interesting
as well as dramatic, with incidents
through which the thread of comedy
deity runs. The play is realistic picture
which opens to the eyes of the audience
the vagaries and intrigues of the aris-
tocratic circles of Europes social centres.
Lady Dolly, the designing, worldly
mother, affords scope for Miss Reynolds,
strong dramatic talents and in stately
costume she portrays the character in a
highly artistic manner. Miss Leigh had
a true conception of the part of Vera,
and her Characterization was earnest, fin
ished and effective. Miss Robertson made
a handsome, though wicked Dutchess,
while Miss Ingram was as piquaint and
viyacious as ever, and her dialogues
with Mr.. Livingstone, who acted the
"snob'' to perfection, were among the
decided hits of the evening. Mr.. Pascoe
as the artist, DeCorreze, was quite upto
his usual high standard of acting, while
Mr.. Bridgeland performed a thankless
part as Prince Zouroff in meritorious
manner. Mr.. Armstrong personated Lord
play as a whole is splendid success and
will suffer in no wise by comparison with
any which the repertoire of the company
has included. ~fet
Gorman's Ideal Ministries.
The week at Riverton opened yesterday
with the return engagement of German s
Ideal minstrels. The troupe was well
coined by large audiences at the afternoon
and evening performances. Stirring
mirth and melody prevail AS rule
laughter and enthusiastic applause always
supplement stage features and the mem
bers of this minstrel company are just the
persons to bring about this result. They
have had large audiences wherever they
have appeared and the indications are
that on their return engagement at Riv-
erton this week they will be greeted by
large and appreciative audiences.
The following will be the programme:

IN COMMITTEE.
Coin Harvey Objects to Loud's Postal
Reform Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The senate
committee on postoffices and postroads
granted a hearing today on the Loud
postal bill. Among those heard was
w. H. Harvey, author of Coins Finan-
cial School, who opposed the bill Har-
vey conteudedl that the consumer would
get the benefit of any reduction In the
price Of publications caused by lowpost-
age by reason there could be no
monopoly in the business which the bill
would most affect, as there could be In
the publication OF metropolitan news
papers. He claimed that the distribu-
tom of cheap literature was in the nature
of the free education of the people,
He said In reply to the question from
Villas that a Sunday newspaper was
more trashy than most books, the bill
aimed at. Some of them were value
less, to be sure, but any effort to estab-
lish censorship would prove dangerous
He hoped. at least. a way would be
found to except books on political
economy from operations of the new BILL
and he remarked that he thought we
were entering upon serious time in the
life Of the republic, when Senator
Chandler interrupted to say that he
thought 1--WE saved the country last
fall"
Harvey thought cheap postage ought
to cover cloth as we'll as paper-bound
books. He thought Loud began at the
wrong end from all economic point of
view, and should have investigated the
railway charges for carrying mails He
believed there was mo doubt that they
were what they should not be.

FISHERMEN'S LUCK.
The Menominee Fishermen Escape
Death In the Water.

MARINETTE, Wis. Jan. 16.-At noon
today all doubt as to the fate of the fish
ermen was removed Manuel Holgren,
Charles Nylund, John Johnson and Otto
Larsen came across from Green island
in skiff and reported that they left
the six others on the island, who will be
brought over in the light house keep
er's boat. When the fishermen felt the
current in the bay changing yesterday
afternoon they knew danger was ahead,
and most of them hurried for the
island. All arrived safely but Ed Hoff-
man, who was being borne away on the
ice when boat went out and rescued
him. The most remarkable escape was
that of Sam Lund, who got to the shore
or his sled. He was far out on the bay
and put up 27 feet of canvas and lit
orally SKINNED over tine siush and cake
ice. He was drenched from head to
foot. The ice went out in half an hour
yesterday, and though the bay looks open
from here the fishermen say ice is
crushed In between Green and Chambers
islands.
Fears are felt for the safety of Theo-
dore johnson of Sturgeon Bay, for
merly vice president Of the Menominee
River Shirgle company. He started
from Menominee yesterday morning to
skate to Sturgeon Bay, and nothing has
been heard of him since.

SOMEBODY SOLD ELEPHANTS
Which Disp!eased the Powers That Be
In siam
The Gunboat Machias Will Run Down
From Canton to Remind the Siamese
That America Is on the Earth.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-At the in
staice OF the state department.. the sec
retary of the navy has ordered the gun
boat Machfas to Bangkok, the capital OF
Siam, and she has sailed from Canton
China, Tor that place. The mission of
the ship. according to the records of the
navy department, is to protect Ameri-
can interests" but the more definite
reason for the trip 10 to afford Mr.
Barrett the United States minister and
consul-seneral at Bangkok moral sup
port in certain representations he has
made to the Siamese government in re-
spect to the treatment of Edward "
Kellet, vice consul-general there. Mr..
Kellet has become involved in trouble
of some sort with the Siamese officials
although the state department affords
no Information on the subject. It is
gathered that he has been subjected to
assault by Siamese soldiers. 1t Is be-
lieve6 the affair grows out of the ole
Cheek claim, which has been the sub
ject of correspondence between the sta,
department and the Siamese govern
ment for several years. Cheek was az
American, who left a large estate, in
Siam, but the Siamese officials objected
to the heirs taking possession, and the
property has been in litigation. The
Siamese officials learned some time age
that some of the elephants on the prop
erty were being sold off, and as Mr. Kel-
let was connected with the movemeu.
he suffered from their resentment.
While the vice-consul at Bangkok,
Mr.. Kellet is not salaried official, and
is believed to he enga pneC in prfva 4 q
business, which, perhaps, has involved
him in his present trouble. 1T is not
believed that any conflict will arise owe.
this affair. but 1t is deemed best to have
a warship at Bangkok according to the
suggestion of Minister Barrett, to af-
ford him moral support and to remind
the Siamese that there is such country
as the United States, inasmuch as they
have not seen our flag on a man-of-war
for the last five years. The distance
from Canton to Bangkok is about 15OO
miles. and as the Machias must stop at
Hongkong a day or two for coal, she
probably will take week for the trip

Charges Of Foul Play.

CHICAGO. Jan. 16.-The Journal, one
Of the papers that has bitterly opposed
Martin B. Madden as a candidate for
the United States senate, says tonight
In double column display that Madden
was the victim of political conspiracy
and was betrayed bypromises from men
who professed to be his friends and
whose political fortunes he has made.
According to tho Journal, the plot was
Matched months ago and the conspira-
tors were Governor Tanner, Congress-
man Lorimer, State Treasurer Hertz,
National Committeeman Jameson,
Sheriff Pease, City Clerk Van Cleave
and President Healin of the board. The
Journal says 1t has never intended that
Madden Should be senator and it was de-
termined that he should be put up as a
target for the newspapers and reform
organizations. At the last minute. when
It would be too late to shift the batter
les, Madden was to be withdrawn, Gov
ernor Tanner aspiring to the senate
