Edward Stevens is clever comedian,
but he was not altogether responsible for
the success OF wang" at the Tivoli,
neither is he bearing the entire burden OF
TIE Isle of Champagne" on his fine
athletic shoulders. Oae would imagine
he was, from seeing the posters, but that
is the worst of taking the paper along
with the star. Stevens contributes his
share to the performance with tritie OF
makeweight, but the fact is that the sue
cess of the light opera season rests on the
general excellence of the cast. Myra
Morella, Mrs. Seabrook, West, Rafael,
Rhys Thomas, Darcy and the rest of the
Tivoli comp any afford more than mere
support 10 the star.

the public's concern, because she manlpu-
lated it over the footlights. Anna He!d's
risoue songs became the fashion largely
on account of the preliminary paragraph
ing she received. Her milk baths proved
the coup de grace in the East, New York
was fascinated by the novelty OF milk
baths and succum bed to the beauty that
was preserved by such uncommon means.
Her fame dated from the hour that Anna
stated in print that they were match ess

Spanish dancer, who could not dance, re-
lied on her ropes and strands of jewels
for captivating the New York public; the
wicked little Barrisons found that repu-

hysterical over the havoc 'Ies petites"

Key West, March 13.-Cable dispatches
from Havana last night said that serious
uprisings had occurred at Sanoti Spiritus,
many volunteers committing scores of
outrages. Not receiving their pay and as
the paper bills issued to them are value
less there, they began looting stores and
shooting proprietors who resisted them.
Eight stores have been robbed thus far
shot down in cold blood for resisting the
demands. The Spanish officers made no
attempt to stop the riots. The Havana
government is greatly displeased, fearing
many assertions will follow.
Havana, March l3.-All the Cuban resi-
dents of BeJul are fleeing in terror
from the town. A passenger train which
arrived yesterday from the place was
packed with families who have hurried
ly left it, Mortified at the awful butohery
committed the night previous. 1t seems
the Spanish garrison, enraged at the re-
peated attacks made on the town by the
rebels, are wreaking vengeance on the
peaceful residents ON the plea that they

And Tried to Burn Up the Police sta

Mr.. Harry Buckles las been arrested
time and time again for stealing all sorts
of small articles, until the police have
come to believe that stealing is plea
sure to him. He ia now confronted with
the prospect Of going to Thomaston as
a common thief, but Mr.. Buckles came
near putting an end to his chances of
residence in the state prison. Saturday
evening, Mr.. Buckles was behind the
bars in the police station. This time he
had been arrested for the larceny of
trousers, rubber boots, revolver and a
razor from the schooner Fannie Reed.
MIR. Buckles had been imbibing. 1t
was about 2 o'clock when he saw
snake crawl into the cell. Then other
snakes came through the grating. They
crawled around the bars; they became
entangled between 6Mr. Buckles legs;
where he went, they followed. There
were SO many snakes that they became
UNDESIRABLE. Mr.. Buckles does not like
snakes. He resolved to annihilate
them. Garment after garment he re-
moved until he had taken off all his
clothes. He piled the clothes against
the door and laughed as he saw the
snakes lowering among his garments.
He would burn them up. Soon the fire
blazsd merrily. Mr.. Buckles was even
with the snakes.
People in the City building smelled
smoke. The police oui GERS noticed it and
traced it to the cell room. There they
found MIR. Buckles dancing about in the
light of the fire and gloating over the

was probably because Mr.. Buckles had
burned them all up. So they put out the
fire and clothed Mr.. Buckles.
