Senator Teller says of the holding up
and the free trade theorists, that he
does not care. whether those ships are
ever finished or not. The utterance is
very nearly reasonable. Senator Tel
Ter would hold up the whole country
for the sake OF using the government
to bull the silver market. The senator
who lives a thousand miles from the
sea, and opposes navy adequate to
represent our power, is unpatriotic, and
if he presents the silver foolery as an
excuse, he becomes an object of pity.

The yarn which has been going the
rounds of the Maine and Boston papers
about the mysterious subterranean
chamber of horrors found by workmen
repairing Appleton hall on the Bowdoin
college campus. turns out to be a yarn,
pure and simple, with the fimsiest
kind of a foundation. 1t had its ORR
gin in the fact that the workmen found
extending under the whole building an
unoccupied cellar. excavated 60 years
ago when the hall, was built, with no
entrance from outside the building
and whose existence had been forgot
ten by the college authorities. There
was no mystery about it, no dungeon
of horrors" no coffin, no secret passage
to the roof, no skeletons, no skulls. no
paraphernalia of torture. no evidence
that 1t had once been a "haZing den"
or a scene of initiation orgies. There
was an old box there half buried in the
sand and a log, both innocent of mys-
terry or romance. The lurid magma
ton of some sensational correspondent
furnished the rest.

They Are the Most Wonderful Midgets
Ever Seen in This City.

Certainly the most wonderful mdgetS
ever seen in this city are the Rossow
brothers, who began a two days en-
gagcment at the rockingham yester-
day afternoon. Franz the eldest and
largest is % years of age and 80 inches
in height He weighs % pounds. Carl
is 10 years of age, % inches in height,
and 1872 pounds in weight. These mites
of humanity lift large weights and
dumbells and prove themselves all
round clever athletes. Their portion of
the programme concluded with a rat
Ting setto between the brothers in
which Carl had the best of the argu-
ment, He is quick as a flash in his
movements and can use his dukes with
a cleverness that is wonderful.
Another strong attraction of the COM
pany that assists the brothers in giving
q two hours entertainment are Freres
and Couture, Partisan acrobats and
contortionists. Their performance is
simply marvellous. The Casino comedy
four and Lynch and Jewell are good en-
tertainers and LeaVitt and Nevello,
jug8lers, are also worthy of more than
passing notice A number of children
from the orphanages of the city saw
yesterday afternoons performance
through the courtesy OF Manager Kerr.
The company will be seen at the

Some time Sunday night the Acad-

thief and about 81 in cash and num-
Der of tickets taken from the box Of
flee.
The stealing was undoubtedly done
by some one well acquainted with
the premises. Entrance was gained
through a coal-hole in the rear of the
building. From the cellar the thief
found his way to the stage and then
through the house and down the foyer
to the box office, which was entered by
breaking the glass panel of the door.
The cash drawer was emptied of the
$4 change it contains, and some tickets
We're taken from the rack, but how
many cannot be told until the week
is over. Fifteen tickets for last nights
performance are known to have been
taken. The safe was not tampered
with, but the desks We're thoroughly
overhauled. The floor was strewn with
papers and everything about the room
indicated that the thief had worked in
a hurried and excited manner.
The supposition of Manager Harvey
Long is that some hanger-on about the
Academy is the guilty party. He does
not expect to be able to apprehend him.
