Hi. There. Minstrels!

Lew Sully told us last night at the Co
lumbia that he asked his wife just before
they were married if she intended to wear
boomers.
Il have perfect right" she answered
She didn't tell him about her left.
Lew says bloomers are all right in their
place. That is the only trouble with them.
His lady friends tell him they wear them
to show their independence. Maybe
maybe-but it's not all-however, that's
another story.
Lew is pretty good. There are several
others like him in the Al Fields minstrels.
The man who juggles the dumbbells, Ollie
Young, is one of the cleverest in the busi-
ness. Some Of his manipulations are quite
marvellous The dancing of the dozen OF
more darkies in the Dance ofthe Brownies
is fine. There is a swing and dash
about it that is captivating. ] w. Norton
sings the "Bedouin Love Song with a
sweet and powerful baritone, and sew
eral of the other songs are good.
A minstrel show doesn't please every.
body, but neither does sermon. Al
Fields show is up to the minstrel stand
ard and maybe a little beyond.

CURIOUS MR.. CAMERON.

Mr. Cameron goes out of the Senate with
great regret, says the Chicago Record.
He occupied q hereditary seat, and al
though he has never been an active man,
he has taken a great deal of quiet interest
in the proceedings, and has exercised
powerful influence in caucuses and COM
mittee rooms. The Camerons have never
been speakers, but their lack OF oratorical
talent has been made up by tact and
shire wdness that has been more effective
in securing legislation and political pa
tronage. 1t was the older Cameron who
referred to James Russell Lowell as lone
of them id literary feners' when the
latter was nominated as minister TO the
court of st. James, and his son has had
similar contempt for scholarship.
The present Senator Cameron has very
winning ways, however, and there is no
more popular man in public life. He is fire.
quently appealed to for loans by his i'm
| pecunious colleagues, and carries around
in his pOcketbook the autographs of nearly
half of the Senate written under due bills
for amounts varying from 500 to 81 900.
Mr.. Cameron is very clever to his friends
He has social disposition, he is fond OF
a poker game, and likes to give dinner
parties. Every little While ne DorroWS d
car from the president of the Pennsylvania
| company and invites ten or dozen con-
| genial spirits to spend a week with him at
| Loehiel, his ancestral farm near Harris
burg, or upon his plantation on an island
J in the ocean, near Port Royal, S. c., where
| be has several thousand negro 1aborers
| employed raising sea-island cotton. He
| has just returned from an excursion of that
| kind. t.s,. ...,i+,.,1i .
Mr.. Cameron is very persistent when he
| starts out to secure legislative action, and
| be has his OWN ways of doing things. He
made motion in the Senate one day which
| was lost by several majority He said
nothing, but those who were watching no
| ticed him going down to the restaurant
| from time to time with parties of Senators
| who had voted against his motion. They
| would sit around a table with bottle OF
champagne and a few glasses for awhile,
| and then return to the Senate chamber.
| Later i'll the day Mr.. Cameron renewed his
| motion, and it was carried almost unani-
| mously. He said it cost him nine bottles
| OF champag gTe, but he did not like to be
| beaten.

When young man wants to appear real

Or lag with sullen feet;
Some day his wandering heart shall find

MEAGHER BEATS THEM ALL.
This Wonderful Ice Skater and His
Many TriumphS.

- The number Of figures which George A.
Meagher, the champion skater OF the
world (who is playing an engagement this
week at the Convention Hall Ice Palace,)
is capable of doing on ice skates is almost
beyond comprehension. Not only does he
he do everything that has ever been at
tempted by anyone in any class, or method
OF skating, but he has originated number
of figures that no one has ever been able
successfully to copy. Mr.. Meagher skates
in the American, English, Swedish, Rus
sian, French, and Austrian schools of skat-
ing, and has given about fifteen years to
the study of these different methods. he
is able to give exhibitions or skate in a
competition in any one or all Of these
