WILL CELEBRATE SUNDAY.
The Public Meeting Monday Night APP
points a Committee.

OGAAA4AA@SS~N'
There is a certainty now, apparent
", of two celebrations of Memorial
day, and both will come on Sunday.
The G.. A r. and w. r. c., with all
who wish to join them will conduct one
and an effort will be made to unite all
other societies in the city in another
distinct and independent celebration.
The meeting called by Mayor Culley
to meet at Central Music hall Monday
evening, was called to order by Mr..
Culley. There we're just thirty seven
people in the hall. Mr.. Culley was
elected chairman and c. +. Stemm
secretary. The chairman then stated
what the meeting had been called for,
and said that the meeting had been
called at the instance of the business
men of the city. Some little discussion
followed, in which it was asserted that
several societies were making some ar
rangements to celebrate Memorial day,
and it was thought advisable to appoint
a committee to consolidate them all in
one celebration. Such a committee
was selected and consisted of the fol-
lowing: j. B. Kupter, William New
house, G. F. Stemm, L. G. Bohmrich
and A. j. Burg. The committee will
meet Wednesday evening and make all
arrangements. Nothing further was
done

LOCKED EN- UP IN A BOX CAR.
Two shoe Thieves Are chased Into a Car
and Caught.


Officer Frank Kraft arrested two
fellows about 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing on the charge of stealing shoes
from Kersts shoe store west of the
railroad track. A third party who
succeeded in making good his escape is
thought to have taken all the stolen
goods away with him.
The men were both tough looking
characters and were seen by several
parties making their exit from the store
through one of the windows. Officer
Kraft saw them a short time afterWard
and took them into custody. They
are strangers to the city, probably
belonging to the bold set of tramps
that are doing this section just now.
Their robbery amounted to three pair
of shoes. They appeared before JUS
tlee Slater this afternoon.
The men who were accused of the
theft went to Mr.. Kerst's store Sunday
morning and managed to steal the
keys to the store door. When Mr..
Mr.. Kerst discovered they were gone,
he at once tumbled to where they had
gone and decided to wait at the store
until they returned, expecting them to
come back at night. That is what
they did, when Mr.. Kerst chased them
to the railroad track. They leaped
into a box car and Mr.. Kerst locked
them in and notified the police. That
is the way they were caught.

THE COMPANY rs GOOD.
The Gibneys Play to a Full House Monday
Evening.

The GibneYs Play to Full House Monday
Evening.
Rhode opera house was filled Mon
day evening, the occasion being the
opening engagement of the Gibneys.
In point of intelligence and culture it
was as good an audience as has ever
gathered there. The play presented,
" Angie, the Country Girl" was in
some respects strong one and was
we'll played. The work of Morgan
Gibney as the old farmer, was pertec-
ton itself, and that of Mrs. Gibney, as
Angie the country girl, was everything
that could have been desired. She
proved herself to be an emotional act
ress of rare power. The support of
the company was all good. There was
not any Of the cheap tinsel so often
seen in the cheap companies about
this one. All the actors conducted
themselves after the style of people
who present much higher priced at
fractions. There were very few spec
ialties, but what there were Of them
were good. The company is worthy Of
splendid support during the week.
This performance was the initial one
under Joe Rhodes new lease of the
opera house. 1t is safe to predict that
if Mr.. Rhode keeps up as high a stand
ard as he starts out with, he is going
to make an extraordinary success of

COLOR BLINDNESS.
The Waterloo of the Experienced and
Careful Locomotive, Engineer.

The Waterloo of the Experienced and
Careful Locomotive, Engineer.
From the Boston Herald.
There was peculiar case of color blind
ness brought to the attention of the super
intendent of local railway the other day
while test of the visual organs of the en-
ployes was being conducted.
Among those examined was the engineer
of an express train, who had the reputation
of being one of the best men who had ever
stood in locomotive cab.
To the utter surprise of the superintend-
ent, however, when the man was UNDER
going the examination it was found that he
was suffering from color-blndness of
character heretofore unknown to those
making the tests.
When the engineer was called the super
intendent felt that 1t was almost a waste
of time to apply the tests in his (the engi-
neerS) case, and after he had told Off all
the colors accurately he was confirmed in
sure that no mistake should be made he
submitted the man to a second test. Hold
ing up piece of bright red ribbon, he said
to the engine man:
What color do you see?'
"Green." was the prompt reply.
The superintendent could hardly believe
his ears and the question was repeated.
Green" again replied the engineer.
= ucH lAc green E1DDOu was lfciu
What color do you now see?" inquired
the superintendent.
Red" was the answer,
The fact that all the celors had been ac-
curately called at the first tria puzzled the
superintendent greatly, sand he said to the
engineer that he wished to sabject him to
a further examination ,later IN the day.
At the third trial the superintendent first
held up piece Of blue ribbon and asked
the engineer to name its color.
"RIue.h he said WtthaSxf haGft atiOD
"And this?" elevating7a q red strip.
Red"
Now this one," holding up green.
Green
This result deepened the oomplexity Of
the examining board and It was finally
decided to send the man to an expert ocu-
list for still further examination. 1t was
subsequently learned that the engineer
had shown the same peculiar characteris-
ties as upon the three previous tests. which
were sufficient to unfit him for service as
an engineer. He was therefore taken from
his engine and given lucrative position
In the round house.

Senator HaIe.s Home.

Senator and Mrs. Hale have perhaps the
most commodious senatorial home in this
city. The site, at the northeast corner of
10Th and K streets, is splendid one, and
the big mansion has the advantage of light
sun and air from all sides. Facing 10Th
street. where the main entrance is, the
porte cochere entrance Is on the east side
of the house, and the ponderous iron gates
open on a garden of unusual dimensions for
a city residence. Once across the entrance
feature of the interior. The staircase is
spacious and wide, and the wall hangings
are very rich and effective. There are two
connecting drawing rooms, on the west
side Of the house. The corner room, which
has a Dresden finish, is very dainty and
bright. Adjoining on the south front is the
library. The walls are deep scarlet, and
the woodwork white. Low book shelves
line the walls all around, and the fur
niture has the same finish. This room is
very much admired The dining room has
the northwest corner, and the treatment is
little darker and heavier than that of the
other rooms. Over the mantel are pieces
of marble in the walls, through which the
these effects are repeated in other rooms.
The hall is SO large that a gathering of a
hundred people could be comfortably seat
ed there, and have been when lectures or
musicales were given. In the drawing
rooms there are many fine pictures on the
walls and many pieces of beautiful bric-a-
brac.

A TRUE BEAR STORY.

4 Yellowstone Park Bruin Gives n
Great Moral Lesson TO Parents.
From Harper's Magazine.
Speaking of law and the enforcement Of
discipline in Yellowstone Park, heard the
story of bear there, which consider ex-
ceedingly important not only as a comment
on the discipline of the park but as a moral
lesson to parents in domestic obedience
The story is literally true, and If it were
not L should not repeat IL, for Ii would
have no value. Mr. Kipling says the law
of the jungle is-obey." This also seems to
be the law of Yellowstone Park. There is
a lunch station at the upper basin, near
Oid Faithful, kept by a very intelligent and
ingenious man. He got acquainted last
year with she bear, who used to come TO
his house every day and walk into the
kitchen for food for herself and her two
cubs. The cubs never came. The keeper
got Oh very intimate terms with the bear.
who was always civil and well-behaved. and
would take food from his hand without
taking the hand). One day toward sunset
the bear came to the kitchen and having
received her portion she went out of the
back door TO carry IL to her cubs. To her
surprise and anger the cubs were there
waiting for her. She laid down the food,
and rushed at her infants and gave them a
rousing spanking. She did not cuff them:
she spanked them,' and then she drove
them back into the woods. cutting them and
knocking them at every step. When she
reached the spot where she had told them
to wait. she left them there and returned
to the house. And there she stayed in the
kitchen for two whole hours, making the
disobedient children wait for their food,
simply to discipline them and teach them
obedience. The explanation is very nat
ural. When the bear leaves her young In q
particular place and goes in search OF food
for them, il they stray AWAY in her absence
she has great difficulty in finding them
The mother knew that the safety of her
cubs and her own peace of mind depended
in ha fo oxxzslx
that We had more such mothers in the
United States!
