British Admiralty Red Tape.

British Admiralty Red Tape.
Every one who has to do with the
admiralty is familiar with amusing
tales of the gloriication of red tape.
Here is the very latest. Some time
ago a workman in one of the dock
yards lost a government candle
stick, valued at few pence. This
was considered sufficient excuse for
a report by the local officials to
Whitehall. A long correspondence
of the approved government office
type ensued, and it is estimated that
not less than IS was spent in the Of
fcials' time, ink and paper. After
every aspect of the case had been
weighed the workman was directed
to pay the local officials the sum of
fvepence, being the value set upon
this particular candlestick. Of
course, if the man had been in pri-
yatc employment, little OF no notice
would have been taken Of such a
trivia!ity, or, at most, he would
have paid his foreman the value,
without any red tapeisln. West

Calhoun Opera Company.

Jacques Offenpach was the inventor
of modern opera bouffe. When he was
only fifteen years old he was admitted
into the orchestra of the Opera Com
ique in PARIS as a violoncellist and it
was here. that through his unrivaled
tact and natural quickness OF percep-
ton he acquired an experience which he
was not slow to turn to popular account,
In 1S48 when he was conductor of the
orchestra at the Theatre Francois he
made his first success as composer
with the Chanson de Fortunio in AL
fred de Mussets play lie Chevalier."
He jumped into immediate popularity.
His power of production was inexhaust-
ible and the demand upon his ideas was
met with a rapidity which fairly aston
ished both theatrical managers and the
general public. He wrote "Pepito. y
Lies deux Aveugles,' lie Violoneux,'
and number of other light works, but
in 1867 his triumph eliminated when he
produced the "La Grande Duchesse de
GeroIstein'' the most popular comic
opera that ever was written. not except
ing even his own "Orphee aux Enters .
which he produced later. Offenbach
possessed talent 40 brilliant, and fac.
ulty of invention so prolific that IN
place of following the public taste, as
he had so cleverly done at the outset OF
his career, he was able to lead II
whittier he would, and this form OF
comic opera has been popular ever
since. His works have been played in
every town in Europe and America in
which a theater exists. "The Grand
Duchesse" is the opera which will be
produced here by the Calhoun Opera
company at the Lyceam, matinee an6
night, Saturday, Oct. 30, with com
pany of rare ability. The production Of
the great opera will be perfect in every

i Soldier Who Very Cleverly Worked the
Monomania Dodge.
A soldier belonging to one of the
Idaho infantry companies worked
the monomania dodge cleverly
enough a few years ago and got his
discharge from the service as an in
capable unfit for military duty. Be-
fore entering the service he had
been a telegraph lineman, and when
he came to the conclusion that he
had had enough of the service he
developed an uncomfortable mania
for climbing to the top of the flag
pole on the post parade ground. He
secured a pair Of lineman's climbers.
One evening at dress parade he had
been excused on account of illness.
When the soldiers were passing in
review before the commanding Off
Ger at this evening function the ex-
lineman was seen to rush across the
parade ground in the direction Of
the fagpo]e, and in a jiffy he had
scaled it to the very top. He paid
no attention to the commands that
were bawled at him to leone down
out O. that" but pulled small pair
of feldglasses from bis blouse and
began to survey the horizon. He
gave no ear even to the command
ing officers demand that he descend
instantly or get shot, nor did he as
much as look below when he heard
the command given to three mem
bers Of the guard, "Aim-ready"-
Of course, the command "Fire!'
was not given. The bluff did not
work. The soldier stuck to his
perch at the top Of the staff and
continued his ranging of the horizon
with the feldglasses The officers
of the post were in a quandary, and
they were considering the advisable
ity Of saving the flagpole down
when the soldier at the top of it
climbed down.

was being seized.

He was taken to the guardhouse
and the post surgeon sent for. The
surgeon found the soldier perfectly
quiet and rational. He talked as
sanely as any man could on general
subjects, but he seemed firmly per
suaded that it was his special bust

When he was released, he went iii

HENRY GEORGE DEAD.
The Most Prominent Candida to
in the mayoraity Campaign
of Greater New York
DIES sUDDENLY-APOPLExY
The CAUSE.

Henry George died at Union
Square Hotel, New York City,
at an early hour Friday morn
ing Of apoplexy. He had de-
livered several speeches during
the day and evening and the
strain and excitement probably
caused his death.
The name of Henry George
is almost household word
throughout the length and
breadth of this land, on &C
count of his advanced writ
ings on economic questions,
and his advocacy of the rights
of the struggling masses
against corporate greed and
municipal corruption.
Mr.. George was the candi-
date of the Jeffersonian De-
mocracy and if he had lived
until election day would, in
all probability, have been
elected mayor of the great
city of New York.

Montezumn Mummies.

The other day a visitor appeared at the
South Kensington museum, London,
proclaiming himself a descendant of
Montezuma, and requesting to see n
mummy of one of the princesses of the
imperial Aztec house which the museum
contains. The mummicd Montezuma
was the uncle of the illustrious cacique
of that name, was taken prisoner by the
Spaniards, and, with his daughter, was
many months confined in the Mexican
convent of San Isidro. At the last he
was walled up in his own cell by order
OF the inquisitors, and persisted in
agonies, attested by the appearance
which the figure now presents. 1t is
drawn into piteous contortions, the
hands clenched, the cheeks sunken, and
the eyelids wrinkled and closed. In gen
eralitnow resembles adarkyellow wood
,nstatue, andisinclosed in large crystal
box. 1t was purchased some years ago
at a sale at the Hotel Drouot, the price
being 1915 francs. The body of his
daughter, a girl of about 20, when found
was in a perfect state of preservation,
the c%ountenance wearing a sweet, pa
thetic smile, in strange contrast with
the horrible fate which befell her.

THE COMING DOCTOR.

| have at last made up my mind as to
the future of medical science, writes
Walter Besant. As doctors are begin
ming to understand that they are totally
unable to prevent or drive away certain
diseases, they viii presently pass on
TO adopt for all diseases what has hith-
erto proved useful for one. They will
resolve upon inoculating or ~vaccinating
for them in early life.
All of us, especially those Of us who
are graybeards, are agreed that old age
ught to be Il time full of peace, serene
and tranquil. A sunset in July, after Il
day of clear sky and hot sunshine,
should represent old age. Too often
under existing arrangements a sunset
in November, with no sun visible but
only a deepening gloom, represents old
age. Since, then, there is no difference
of opinion on the subject, all we have to
do is to arrange the most scientific way
of taking our diseases early. We shall
ya%ccinate, in a word, for all possible dis
eases in classes and groups. Thus some
unfortunate becomes equity, asthmatic,
rheumatic and other adjectives MS the
clock goes round. We shall be vac
cinated for this class of disease if our
ancestors or parents have had any Of
them, il there appears to be any danger
or any tendency.
Consider what a huge amount of suf-
fering would be alleviated by vaccinat-
ing the babies for this class of disease
alone. Physicians will. of course easily
classify the various ailments that are
now helped so freely-indeed, l am
quite certain that In the long run
science will discover one universal vac
cinating stuff which will enable the in
fant to have and enjoy in the mildest
form possible every disease under the
sun all at once. What will happen after.

taking everything that belongs to life
with prudence, he will actually get"
nothing as he grows old. He will then
sit and bask in the sun; or he will sit
by the fire, his hands folded; his work
done; no longer anxious for his own rep

last book; no longer jealous or angry
