THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.

It is quite evident that the new Olym-
pic Theatre is going TO be popular
resort for u large number OF entertain
ment seekers this season. This opinion
is based upon tho favor already bestowed
upon Manager Abe Spitz's enterprise in
refltting local play house of long stand
ing and making IL q new house in all es
sential particulars. Last week, when the
house was opened. the bill was excellent,
but the program for this week surpasses
it for the skill for the specialties and the
talent of the performers
Tho show last evening was good enough
for anybody and the theatre was crowded
to standing room. over the big audience
smoke curled laZily and this was an indi-
cation that the gentlemen were enjoying
their cigars AS we'll rs the performance.
Smoking is one OF the privileges of the
house and IL is one OF the features OF pop
ularity. The management however, pro-
poses that the fair sex shall have their
innings, too, and the theatre will be free
of smoke OH Fridays This is in accord
ance With the request of large nun Der
of ladies and hereafter Friday afternoons
and evenings gentlemen will leave their
appetites for tobacco at home or some
other convenient place.
The show last evening began with q
singing and dancing pot pourri arranged
by Minnie Cline, entitled, AT the Pic
nic." 1t introduced the several good
looking young women of the company in
becoming costumes and gave them an op-
portunity to sing and dance gracefully.
The comedians also had an opportunity
to bs funny.
This was followed by remarkable ex-
hibition of balancing and perching. by
the Aherns: dainty Ida Howell pleased
tho crowd by her singing and vivacity;
Montague and West. musicians ofr CON
siderable ability, illustrated their shfnlon

EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING.
NATIONAL LEAGUE.

BOSTON, Aug. 24-The Bostons
climbed two more rounds OF the pen.
nant ladder Monday by winning both
games from the Louisvilles, the first Of
their series here. 1t was not what
might be called good base ball weather,
and the attendance was small. The cold
east wind made winter overcoats very
comfortable. and the enthusiasm was
somewhat chilled on this account. The
first game was a slow, sleepy and list
less one. Stafford and Dolan played
wretched ball. and their errors gave the
Bostons all the runs they made. Louis
willie made two hits off Nichols in the
ninth. a fine running catch by Clarke,
a line catch by Allen and a foul catch
by Bergen We're the only features
In the second game Boston opened on
Clarke, and pounded him numerically
throughout the game. They began the
ilrst inning with two singles. a triple
and a home run, and this was a sample
Of what happened all through the game.
Clarke's magnificent work in left field
was especially noticeable He made a
fine catch close to the fence. and an

The opinion held by many scientific
men that ether is simply very atten-
uated form OF matter was recently
combated very ably by Prof. Dolbear
in a lecture before the Boston Scien-
tifc Society. He based his position
on comparison of the qualities OF
matter with those of ether; in seven
teen particulars this comparison was
made, his purpose being to show that
matter has definite structure, the parts
of which are different, that there is
certain calculable quantity OF it IN
the universe, that it is heterogeneous,
that one particle attracts another,
that it is subject to friction, has iner-
tia, is chemically selectiye. heatable,
elastic, and a transformer of energy,
in all of these particulars it differs
from the ether, which is structure
less unlimited in quantity and homo
geneaus, all parts being like all other
parts-nor is it attractive, or else 1T
would have gathered in censer masses
near the sun and other large bodies,
ror has it any inertia or chemical rela-
tions, does not absorb heat, and is not
a transformer of energy. Finally,
Prof. Dolbear points out, ether receives
wave vibrations and delivers them
without loss at their destination. and,
again, matter appeals to the senses,
which ether does not

furnishes this strange sight, one Of
the most unique objects that was ever
put on wheels.
This pioneer. of all land craft IS not
to be despised when it comes to a
question of force. Dainty 'barkers"
peep out through her portfolios, proto-
types of the smiling faces that gleam
from the sides of the flagship New
York, This trolley man-of-war, or
white cruiser on wheels, has been Zig
nified with the name of President Will
liam Mckinley. While her mission is
not that of protection so far, she is
quite likely to be utilized for that pur-
pose in the days that are to come.
The Mckinley is designed to run on
electric roads of standard gauge, and
it is very likely that the queer craft
will have many limitations before long.
She is in appearance a miniature, to
great extent. of the big cruisers that
have followed Admiral Bunce's flag for
SO many months. Her superstructure
is painted green, her hull and spon-
sons white, her guns and iron work
black. She carries 100 men, officers
and crew, and is thirty-seven feet long,
nine feet vide, twelve feet high The
lines on which she was constructed
were taken from the model Of the bat
tleship Brooklyn by Naval Architect
Henry P. Lapointe.
Originally the Mckinley was fiat
car and she was extended fore and aft
so that finally her legth from stem to
stern was thirty-seven feet. She has
a double row of portfolios on each side,
and as she advances toward you you
see the sullen countenances OF two
grim six-pounders, while peeping from
the tiny turret on the gun deck is
ferocious looking eighteen FOUNDER.
The quarterback is rather small In
fact, the officer of the day has hard
work to make his rounds, owing to the
confusion that numbers always occas-
ion. Another odd feature is that Jack
Tar and his officers are on the best of
terms and all hands mess in the ward
room.
The hull of the Mckinley is OF the
finest quality of duck. The smoke
stacks are genuine, however, and If it
is desired to create a sensation red

rior of the cruiser is by no means COM

SCIENCE POPULARIZED.
Lecture at the High School Next
Wednesday Evening.

The sixth number in the high school
library course will be a lecture on cleo
tricity by Prof. Louis Favour.
The man who can write an ordinary
lecture on travel, and purchase a stere-
Optican to illustrate it, has not had the
training or experience necessary for the
manipulation of the extensive and deli
cate apparatus required to illustrate
lectures on electricity. We realize that
in order to popularize the subject and
hold the attention of the average audi
ence, technicalities and dry details must
be avoided and that instruction to a
popular audience must be given in an
entertaining and even an amusing
manner. This is Prof Favour'S forte,
and he is alone in this field.
The elaborate and costly display of
electrical apparatus, machinery and
working models that he uses was de-
signed by him and constructed especial
ly to attain this happy combination, and
the large number of interesting expert
ments performed a frequent intervals
during these lectures sustains the inter
est and enthusiasm from beginning to
end and precludes the possibility of
dullness. AS an eXperimenter and
manipulation Prof. Favour is unsur-
passed. He is familiar with and il
Illustrates all the latest developments of
the TX" ray. His apparatus, costing
over $1,000. is the most complete and
extensive ever carried by a public lee
turer.

The temperance people have been

HILL WANTS Publicly.
Advocates Discussion of Arbitration
Treaty in Open Session.

Washington. Feb. S--The senate at
o'clock went into executive session on
motion of Mr.. Sherman to consider the
arbitration treaty.
The first question that arose in the
executive session was a motion by Ser
ator Hill that the arbitration treaty be
discussed in open session instead OF be-
hind closed doors. He said that it was
a matter in which the people We're
greatly interested and which ought to
be public. There was nothing in the
treaty or in it's discussion that demand
ed secrecy.
He was followed by Senator Gray of
Delaware, member of the committee
on foreign relations who opposed public
discussion He said that on 4 matter
dNaling with foreign governments sena-
tors ought to be free and unhampered
in the expression of their views which
could only be when the senate was be-
hind closed doors.
