The coming TO this city of any of
Hoyt's humorous creations is the sig
nal for a general assembly of local
theatre-goers, aud it is therefore a
pleasure to announce that the best of
all the Hoy'ian forces, "A Trip to
Chinatown" is announced for tomorrow
evening at the opera house. This is
the exhilirating satire which delig ted
New Workers for two years, and sue
ceeded in breaking all records fer
successful runs in the metropolis.
1t is brimful of good things in the
shape of musical novelties, unique
dances and taking features of all dis
criptiops. At the same time, Mr..
Hoyt has written probable story, and
a plo., which, while it does not great
~ tax the mental forcss is full of in
terest and altogether source of much
enjoyment. John V. Bratton, the au-
thor of the popular ballads, "Onlv Me"
and 1.-THE Sunshine of Paradise Alley"
is the musical conductor of "China-
town" this year and has wholly re-
constructed the musical portion of the
comedy until in this respect it excels
any previous year. Frank Lane will
appear as "Well and Strong" and Jane
Stetson as 'The Widow"

seats were taken and the amphitheatre

men to hold the surging crowd back,
and several parties were handled
roughly by the police and at ona time
q riot came very near occurring over

SAVED BY THE CHURCH.
Young Chinese Woman Rescued
From Bondage Embraces
Christianity.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Among the persons
admitted to membership in ST. James
Methodist church Sunday was a young
Chinese woman of high class, who has
been living in Chicago two years under
the name of Lena Brown. Rev Robert
Mcintyre, pastor of the church, baptized
her and told the congregation the story
of her life
She was born in Hong Kong and be-
longs to one of that city's upper class
families. Her father was a physician,
and, intending to educate his daughter in
his profession, was teaching her, when
his sudden death occurred and girl was
taken by her uncle to rear. She was then
about Is years old. A few months later
she came to America with her uncle.
They were accompanied by several other
girls of her age, who were brought over
to be sold to Chinese husbands. She was
bought by Chinese merchant of Los
Angeles, Cal, who married her and took
her to his home.
Rev. George L. Cole and wife. formerly
of Chicago, now engaged in missionary
work in California, found her, and it was
through them that she first heard of
Christianity. Upon learning that her
husband had a wife in China she decided
to leave him This was only accomplish
ed after repeated trials. One morning
soon after the breakfast hour. while her
husband was busy in his store, she gath
cred few articles of wearing apparel
together, and picking up her child she
escaped, and under the protection of two
police officers she was taken to place
of refuge. Rev. Mr.. Cole soon found ii
necessary to send her further away. as a
large reward had been offered for her re
turn, and the Chinese of Los Angeles
were making d concentrated effort to get
her. She was sent to Prof. A J. Marks
of this city. with whom she has since
made her home. She is attending the
Meyers training school and preparing her
self for missionary work among her own
people.

BLISS NEW HOME.
Secretary of the Interior Has Secured
a Model House

Washington, Nov. 9-Secretary of the
Interior Bliss took possession of his new
home yesterday. The brownstone dou-
BILE house on H street, next door to st.
Johns, is really an annex to the Arling-
ton, and as the hotel will furnish the
table and servants, it will be seen that
the secretary has achieved an ideal home
by insuring for himself all the comforts
and none of the trials of housekeeping.
He literally presses a button and the hotel
does the rest. The house was built %
years ago and is historical as the home
of Senator POmeroy, of whom it used to
be said in those days that he was always
giving dinner parties except when Mrs.
Pomeroy was giving germans.
The orthodox front entrance has inner
doors paneled with stained glass knights
Haunting inscriptions that are doubtless
beautifully appropriate to those who can
decipher them, but there is in addition
big side door that opens from the hotel
corridor, so that when the secretary be-
comes unbearably harassed by callers who
want to run the affairs of the interior de-
partment for him he vanish through
that big side door into the Arlington, and
send word with an untarnished conscience
that he is not at home. The parlor is fur
nished in delft blue-blue papering, blue
velvet carpet. and portieres of blue plush.
The portieres divide the parlor from the
dining room, the coloring of which is
the rich. dusky red that is a happy me-
dunn between terra Gotta and POmpeiian.
The tracery and the round table and an
tique chairs are of plain polished old
oak.
There IS a smaller room beyond, with
the same pattern red carpet, which the
secretary viii use for an office. 1t was
in that room that Secretary Gresham died
during the last administration

HEALTHlN SCHOOL.
An Ohio Professor Tells How it May

Cincinnati, Nov. 9.-There was a large
attendance of members and teachers at
yesterdays meeting of the Principals as
sociatfon at the city hall.
DR.. Withrow's address was on matters
relative to the prevention of diseases
among school children.
Among other things the doctor said
that, without entering the general ques-
tion of heating and ventilating school
rooms, upon which so much has been said,
the question of the humidity or moisture
of the atmosphere is one of the very
greatest Importance. During the colder
weather the air passing into the school
rooms over the various forms of heating
apparatus is deprived of this moisture
SO that it's relative humidity is reduced
to about p per cent of the normal
This dried air breathed into the lungs
induces dryness of the mucous mem
branes and consequent coughing and tor
por. jet of steam should be thrown
constantly into the air delivered, and an
apparatus which the doctor described, con-
sisting of wet cotton felt, should be
placed between the dried delivered air and
the school room.
Teachers should also be taught to ex-
anime the throat, and a wooden tongue
depresser should be given to each teacher,
which might be used in the examination
of throats and Immediately destroyed.
The doctor exhibited the form of depress-
er used in the Boston schools. Children
who are coughing should be carefully ex-
amined, and if there is a suspicion of pull
monary consumption they should be sent
to a physician for examination.
In cases of suspected diphtheria the
health department would place culture
tubes in the hands of principals. who
might make cultures and send them to
the department for examination. The
possibility of carrying contagion by
means of inanimate objects was next dis
cussed, and the states, as a filthy and
dangerous object of school furniture,
should go. The badly ventilated cloak
rooms were condemned, and the danger
of their possibly being a means of carry
ing infection from one pupil to another
was pointed out.

NANSEN,S STORY.
The Explorer Relates His Tales of
Adventure in the Far N forth.

New York, Nov. 9.-With the help of
some excellent stereoptican views, Fridt-
jof Nansen gave an immense audience
yesterday afternoon at the Metropolitan
Opera House an idea of the way his lit
tie ship Fran had squeezed its way
through the ice foes of the Arctic regions.
Some effort of attention was required from
his listeners, for though he spoke Eng
lfsh with tolerable fluency, the strange
ness of his accent compelled keenness
of ear.
Nansen began in a semi-jocose way by
praising the wholesomeness of the Arctic
climate. IF you don't mind an occasional
frozen nose or a frost-bitten ear, you will
find the north a delightful country. Our
ship doctor got very discOntented when
he found that we kept perfectly well.
He ended by administering his medicines
to all the dogs on board-nobody else
needed them.
Nansen also commended the polar re-
gions for their freedom from trolley cars
and autograph fiends.
The audience listened breathlessly when
he told in the simplest and most unaffect-
ed language how the little ships crew
awoke New Years morning, 1895, to find
thirty feet of ice under their keel how
they prepared to abandon their ship, and
transferred all their provisions to the ice
grip and allowed the boat to press for
ward again.
In describing a polar night, with its
weird sunset and sky Hluminations. Nan
sen became entangied in some English
complication that made his description
more poetic than graphic. In the main,
howeevr, his recital was unconsciousIy and
spontaneously picturesque. His sl1ir-
mishes with bears and walruses couldn't
possibly have been told with greater
humor or artlessness.
The audience followed him with ap-
pIause that came quick and sharp after
every other sentence, and finally, when
the lights went up, showing the stalwart
explorers handsome face and figure, the
handclapping was vociferous.
Nansen concluded by apologizing for the
expedition. Many people of intellect, he
said. had sneered at his enterprise as
fooIhardy and useless, but he felt conf
dent that his research had benefited sci
ence and stimulated future explorations
The Topeka state journal., 1897-11-09
PLAYING FOR POSITION.

The trend of events points to the pos
sibiIity of the approaching session Of
congress being largely occupied with
the Cuban question. The attitude of
Spain and the United States with re-
gard to Cuba has for some time resem-
bIed that of two belligerent individuals
each of whom is inclined to settle ex-
listing differences. but is anxious to
have the law on his side. Each party
seems desirous of provoking the other
to strike the first blow.
If Spain can worry the Cuban sym
pathizers Of the United States into
forcing the government to take some
step which would warrant a declara-
tion of war, she figures on securing the
sympathy of at least those nations of
Europe which have American posses
sions. If on the other hand Spain can
be prOdded into some overt act against
citizens of this country or the govern
ment, the administration would feel
that in resenting it even to the extent
of war. it would have the backing of
the entire country
Just now, while there is undoubtedly
a strong sentiment in favor of extend
ing such aid to the Cuban patriots as
viii enable them to secure the inde-
pendence of the island, it is by no
means unanimous. Among the masses
the interest in Cuba is largely a senti-
mental one, born of a sympathy for the
under dog in the fight, which is so
largely characteristic of the American
citizen.
The commercial interests of the
country have probably exerted more
influence on the government course
thus far than have the masses. These
interests are divided. On the one hand
are those who fear the effect on their
business of any kind of disturbance.
On the other, are those who de-
sire the independence of Cuba be
Heving that it must result in
annexation, and afford opportuni-
ties for making fortunes out of the
country. In this class may be found
the holders of Cuban securities and the
most liberal contributors to the treas
ury of the Cuban junta.
The president is placed in an embar-
RAISING position by the situation as it
now exists. If he openly espouses the
side of the islanders even to the extent
of involving the country in a war, it
is not improbable that he would be
sustained by the people. so thoroughly
wrought up are they by the stories of
Spanish atrocities. If he leaves the
matter to congress the commercial in
terests composed of those who think
more of a dollar than they do of a hu-
man life, may exert such an influence
as to delay action indefinitely.
With congress once in session and
the Cuban question turned over to that
body, it would be extremely difficult
for the president to resume control of
the situation while the session lasts,
even if he should desire to do so.
There can be little doubt that Spain
would welcome any aggressive action
on the part of this country which would
relieve her of Cuba. There is in the
United States a wide spread tendency
to oencourage the acquisition of additional
territory, of whatever character, if it
can be accomplished in a way that is
not absolutely dishonOrable
