Olympic Theatre.

No falling off in the excellence of the
bill presented at the Olympic Theatre is
noticed this week. Indeed, the program
is one to recommend itself to all lovers of
high class vaudeville. Besides unusual
excellence there is great variety and some
of the specialists are recognized as fore
most in their lines all over the country.
The increasing interest in the now
things of each week is shown by the sizu
Of the audiences at the first perform
ances The regular patrons expect some
thing good and they go in large numbers
to sec what it is There is no diappont-
ment this week and the two large houses
yesterday afternoon and evening declared
the show was nll right.
The bill opens with clever sketch by
Murray and Alien as the postmep;"
strumeutal man. Then comes the Helstons

gained favor by her impersonation Of Gel
tic and negro characteristics aud Quig-

formance
Cissy had been announced for this city
before a couple of hines, but she was un-
able to appear, and there was n feeling
among many Of the regular patrons of the
theatre that she would be conspicuous by
her absencs this time but she is here with
all her trimmings. Indeed. this is her
first appearance this season outside of
New York, and {" The Founding" was
started on it's provincial tour for the third
season last evening. The play has very
little to recommend il, as il is wordy and
repeats itself frequently. Besides, it treads
on the hesls Of impoliteness and its
double entendre is frequently risque and
broad. IL Ia mot nice in certain places
but it is OF the sort turned out to pasture
from the metropolis and of tie kind tnat
has flooded the country of late. Its vul-
garity is supposed to be the thing in pig
cities where the people have To be amused
and temporary population entertained
1t has dozens of prototypes in burlesques
and so-called comic opera, seen at the
present time and in the past The
Founding" is calculated to amuse by its
smsrtness and the opportunity It offers
for the introduction OF n music hall cele-
brity with ability to show her especial
talent. In this respect 1t is good vehicle
for Cissy, as il does not make serious
demands upon singing or reading accom-
plishnent. Cissy does not possess those
stage equipments. Perhaps they are not
necessary as her particular forte Is
dancing.
My, my. hut she can dance. Not so
feathery as some, but mighty fetching.
She fills up the whole stage with whirling
skirts anu sharely hose and she winks
with the precision of French doll. In
this she is the whole show and the secret
Of her success becomes apparent. She Is
not exactly like anything seen here before
and she grows on the imagination while
she twirls in graceful curves.

PATRICK HALEY DEFEATED.

New Castle, Eng, Nov. o-Monday
night William Curley of England de-
feated Patrick Haley OF America in
boxing contest in 20 rounds. The bout
caused great excitement in sporting
circles. and the attendance broke the
record. The betting favored the Amer
fcan. Notwithstanding that Curley had
the advantage OF two and a hs. inches
in height, which prevented his adversary
from displaying his cleverness 10 its
full extent.
The exchanges in the early part Of the
bout were light. Curley, being much su-
perior in science, held a big lead In
the final rounds Haley made a plucky
attempt to get on terms with his OPP
ronent, but it was Of no avail. The
latter maintained his smart attacks to
the very close OF the twentieth round
and secured a decided victory.

Streams of Meteors.

The earth is now entering the great
stream of meteors and many of these
little celestial wonders are already
seen. The main display for this year
will occur the night of the 14th when,
il the night is clear, there may be a
brilliant show of natural fireworks. A
writer in the Chicago Times Herald
says: "There is puff, report and
tons upon tons of metal and rock GO
into absolute nothingness-saye gas.
1t may bes that the world will be
eventually be wiped out of the uni
verse in the same way as the Novem-
ber meteors. The earth flying around
the sun at the rate of more than Is
miles each second, is also flying with
the sun in the direction of the great
star Vega, at a speed which is un-
known. but very great. If the earth
should meet resistance comparable
to that which encounters the meteors
on entering the atmosphere it would
be dissolved before the human race
knew what had happened There
would then follow liberal fulfillment
of the prophesies of holy writ and the
great globe and the heavens thereof,
would be rolled up before the sons of
Adam could gasp for breath"

THE great business improvement
which the country has seen since last
July. is due largely to the feeling
among merchants and business men
that the new tariff will furnish both
protection and revenue sufficient to
run the Government This simple res
toration of confidence has brought
forth millions of dollars and given
employment to thousands of hands at
improved wages. 1t has caused unused
chimneys to pour forth black smoke
and idle wheels to revolve merrily.
The new tariff is in operation, and its
revenues are constantly increasing
month by month and week by week.
Yet it is to be expected the Democrats
will say that the Dingley law has
nothing to do with the improvement

SENATE MAKEUP.
Republicans VIII Dictate IN Organizing
That Body.

COLUMBUS, Noy. 10.-The question OF
whether Lieutenant Governor Jones
would have the deciding vote in case
of a tie in the matter of electing otfi-
GERS in the cDming session OF the SEN
ate has been much under discussion
here since the recent election. The
great proba bility of a tie, because the
expectation that Senator-elect Louis
Voight, of Hamilton county, will vote
with the Republicans, has mnde the
matter doubly interesting. The ques-
ton has been looked up by those ia
miliar with the law and there seems to
be no doubt as to the Lieutenant Coy
ernor's right to cast the deciding vote
in matters OF this kind, While he can
not vote in the election of United
States Senator nor on the passage of
laws, there is no provision prohibiting
him from voting in the election of Off
GERS. This, therefore, would indicate
that the Republicans will be in con-
troll of the Senate and able to dictate
as to its makeup.
There is but little doubt as to the
position Senator Voight, of Hamilton
county, will occupy. He was elected
as fusionist Republican with the
especial purpose of overthrowing the
control of the Cox faction in Cincinnati.
Having done that it is believed he will
support the Republicans in the Senate.
Ex- Representative Levi Goodale, Of
Cincinnati, who was here today, con-
firms this statement, and says he
believes Mr.. Voight will stand by the
Republicans in what they do. If that
be so it will insure Republican control
in the Senate.

One of the most important factors in
the mining of coal to-day is the electric
mule. After the electric drill has done
its work and the coal is shoveled into
cars they are gathered together with
the aid of q mule or electric locomotive
and arranged in long trains which are
hauled TO the mouth of the mine by
powerful electric locomotives. These
are made of narrow gauge, of small
dimensions, so as to be capable of
use in galleries and runs where mules
cannot be used without extra cutting.
They are controlled by means of series
of parallel controllers now so universal
ly known in connection with the troll
ley. An electric headlight Is provided,
which draws its current from the same
wires and is powerful enough to enable
the motorman to see any obstruction on
the track long distance ahead. These
locomotives are made in sizes from 80
horse power up TO 100.

New YORK, Nov. 1L.-Miss Bessie L.
Armstead, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia, were
married Wednesday afternoon at the
home of the brides parents by Rev

brides parents 25 years ago.
Inc princeton colleg1ans were great
ly disappointed when it became known
Wednesday that Grover Cleyelandt
son is to be named Richard Folsom
Cleveland. They had given the young
man the name of Grover Cleveland, jr.
on the day of his birth, and hoped i
would stick to him. The name decided
upon is given in honor of Mrs. Cleve
