which warning theatrical people spoke
their lines to the great interest of the
crowd of spectators. The defendant was
G. d. Farnum, advance agent of the
Creighton Comedy Co, He and his wife
were arrested yesterday by the police a.
the instance Of Walter Creighton, pro-
prietor OF the show. Creighton alleges
that Farnum had obtained 81 under
false pretenses running up q board bill
mt the Stamm and other incidentale, and
charging the same to the company, after
he had been discharged. Farnum at the
hearing yesterday produced receipts
showing that he had paid his bills with
his own money. II developed that the
allegations were partly the result OF spite
work. but Creighton was surprised to see
the receipts produced by the man he
thought was doing" him, He was more
surprised at finding he had TO pay the
costs. &.
After the case was dismissed Farnum,
his wife and Creighton left the court
room together, and on better terms than
they had entered It. The company show
ed at Martins Ferry last night, coming
thence from Mannigton.

AT recent literary symposium some
amusing instances of these alterations

pathetic climax with the coupIet:

PATH OF DALLIANCE.
Messenger Boy Thought He Could
Beat Congress by a Block.

Notwithstanding the arduous labors
performed in Washington by our ma
tional Legislators of the lower branch
OF Congress, they manage by almost
superhuman effort, as it were, to snatch
a few moments between efforts to daily
along the primrose path, so to speak
In other words, they daily with society
and the dallying thrives luxuriantly
among those bachelor members who are
in the social swim, as some of them
are-clear UP to their chins.
Not long ago one of the most Jealous
deyotees in the entire society contin-
gent received a perfumed missive from
some point in the Dupont circle neigh
borhood, delivered at his desk in the
House He dropped the gigantic affairs
of state which were engaging his no less
gigantic intellect at the time, read the
note, wrote a reply in hurry, and
took it out in the lobby with his own
fair hands to deliver to the messenger
boy.
The boy was sharp as old cider, and
as the Representative gave him the
precious document he winked slyly, as
if he knew the Goddess of Liberty was
d
Northwest who was to sign the ticket
when he got it there.
Il want you to deliver this note at
the same place you got tn on you
brought to me-" said the Representa-
tive, land bring the answer here
Yes, sir" replied the boy, starting
Off
"Hold.'' cried the Representative,
''do you have to take it to the office first
or go direct?'
TN take it right where it's ad-
dressed"
VERY good; and, by the way" con-
tinued the representative, feeling like
having some fun with the boy, Il know
what people say about the speed OF
messenger boys, and while I'm not par
ticular whether you get back before
next week or not, hope you will return
before Congress adjourns.
Then the Representative had his lit
tie laugh all to himself, and the boy
locked at him as solemn as the Supreme
Court of the United States in full bench.
Don't you stay wake of nights wor-
ryin about me-" said the messenger,
after a seconds contemplation of the
Representative. 'If l was as slow
movin as Congress is about a'journin'
I'd quit the messenger business an
chase myself right into politics. See?'
And before the Representative had time
to fully comprehend whether he saw or
not the boy was scudding down the
Capitol steps.-Washingto Star.

Precisely as was to have been ex-
pected, right upon the heels of the
news of great insurgent victory comes
the news that the insurgents are dis
couraged, demoralized, without food,
arms or ammunition, and then follows
the declaration of General Weyler that
he has Cuba under his thumb and that
the island is nearly pacified, and very
soon he will introduce the reform pol
icy in the western provinces or States,
and all will be over Really, one does
not know what 10 believe regarding
Cuba, except this, that the news dis
patches are perplexing and unreliable,
since they change color with rapidity

ply to the protest of Japan against
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
to the United States. 1t is said that
while we deny the right of interfer-
ence on the part of Japan, the State
sue the case, and fortify our position
with legal citations and proofs. That is
Well enough, but really the American

Colonel G. f. Crocker has for the
third time proved himself the friend
of science and scientific research. He
has authorized the Regents of the
University of California to draw upon
him for the expense of sending an as
tronomer to India next January to OBJ
serve the total eclipse of the sun, and
the Regents have named Professor
Campbell as the scientist who will go
out for that purpose. He will organ
ize the proper party, and leave San
Francisco early in December to have
plenty of time to set up his station
and the necessary instruments. The
Government of the United States, of
France, England, Germany and Italy
will have parties in the same field also.
These observations are of high import
ance, and very frequently determine
questions that are involved, and hence
advance science and enlarge the sum
of human knowledge. That is never
done without substantial benefit tc
mankind. When ample means in pri-
vate hands are used for such better
ments to the race, there is conferred
deserves universal acknowledgment.
