bathing apparel as they could lay their hands on. The usual sportiVe work which goes on during a bathing se- ance was enhanced by a bottle of eau de cologne, which was freely passed from mouth to mouth Evidently salt water, moon-beams and eau de cologne have a very exhilarating effect, for no tribe of Indians in the height of a war dance could have made more noise. The old Sachems who un- doubtedly lie buried in the neighbor- hood of this beach must have turned in their graves. If they could have seen this tribe as they emerged from the water grasp each other by the hand and dance in a circle around big bonfire they would have looked on with envy. The ghoulish glee depicted on each counte- nance lighted up by the red light of the fire and the yellow beams of the moon could not have been produced by any known war paint. Now this sort of midnight deviltry must stop, and while we are charitable enough at this time to suppress the names of all those con- cerned in the affair, we warn them that like occasion will warrant their pub lication in full. The quiet and respec- tability of Madison-by-t y-the-sea must and shall be upheld.

 alterations, which have been in pro gress at the Grand opera house for some time, and the patrons of the house may expect a delightful surprise when the house Is opened for the initial per formance of the season next Saturday evening. The alterations will make a marked improvement in the aspect of the interior of the building, and one which will undoubtedly be greatly ap- preciated by those who frequent this popular theater during the show season.
 Messrs. Star and Breed, the new pro- prietors of the Grand, have spared no pains or expense in so altering and im- proving the interior furnishings and decorations that every feature will be up to date in every respect.

HYPERION THEATER.
The yeriscope Pictures-Opening for til
 Season To To-day--Matinee and Evening.

The Veriscope Pictures-Opening for the
 Season To-day--Matinee and Evening.
 The veriscope pictures showing the glove contest between James J. Corbett and Robert FitZsimmons, which took place at Carson City, New, March 17 last, will begin five days engagement this afternoon at the Hyperion theater. It is almost difficult to conceive the wonderful mechanism of the veriscope, which reproduces the actions of hu- man beings with such accurate preci- sion that it seems the figures on the canvas are about to step down and speak to those around them.
 No glove contest in this decade at tracted such universal interest at the time as did the tt-Fitzsimmons bout, as is we'll remembered.
 The veriscope pictures reproduce the scenes of the contest with wonderful accuracy as thousands will attest.
 When the pictures are first thrown upon the screen all about the ring is hustle and excitement. Seconds and attendants are seen rushing hither and thither, preparing for the fray. Then all of sudden the huge frame of Cor bett comes into view vending his way through the crowd and into the ring, amidst the applause of the vast assem- blaze. A few moments later Fitzsim- mons makes his appearance Then Referee Siler calls the men to the cen- ter of the ring and gives them their in- structions; then at the call of time the men are seen to begin what was beyond doubt the greatest battle of the cen tury, From that on the veriscope pic lures show clearly and distinctly every incident and every blow struck of the fight. round by round. Electricity is, inventors say, in it's infancy as a mo- tive power, but when one looks at the marvellous manner in which this me chine reproduces the motions of actual life, it would seem that the limit had been reached The pictures will show one thing, and that is that the question of supremacy between Corbett and Fitzsimmons is yet a matter of doub1 in the minds of the sporting public. Corbett is anxious for return match and says that he will risk his life or the result. A noticeable feature of the performance at the Academy of Music New York, where the pictures were first shown and also at the Boston theater where they had long run, was the larpa numhar of ladies who were in at- tendance. They enjoyed the exciting incidents and were as quick to express their appreciation as the men, There is nothing vulgar in the performance from beginning to end There will be afternoon performances at 2:30 anc evenings at S:30, every day this week except Saturday, with prices ranging from 25c to soc. At the matinees 25e will admit ticket holder to any part oi house.

VEST CORNWALL.
A Boys Brave Deed and Foresight Saves
 an Express Train.

West Cornwall, Conn.,, Aug. H.- What might have been a very serious accident was prevented last week Thursday evening by the foresight of little Louis Ferriss.
 As the 6:15 p. m. express train went flying through this place it tore off the upper part of rail just below the de- pot, about eight feet. Nothing but the speed prevented it from being derailed.
 The usual noise caused by the jarring of the wheels across the broken rail at tracted master Louis attention, and he went out to investigate. He quickly gave in the alarm and the incoming passenger train, which was soon due, was run through on the switch. The section men from Falls Village were soon at work and very. quickly had a new rail laid.
