OPERA THE MORNING.
The Playhouse IN the Astoria Will
Please its Women Patrons.

Please its Women Patrons.
New York. Dec. 16.-Thanks to the
Astors and Herr Boldt. metropolitan
society isn't suffering from lack of en-
tertainment.
In fact, those in the set are getting
better run for their 500 notes than ever
before Just think of opera at 11:15 a.
m.
It does seem like turning the bill of
fare upside down, but there were plen-
ty who came to partake of the unsea-
sonable dish at the unreasonable hour
at the Astoria yesterday.
Of course everyone chatted right
through the opera, which was a charm
ing -Sullivan-and-wate affair,
and not so much water, either. Some
thing stronger is always on tap at the
Astor playhouse, you know. One who
was there says that not more than two
or three women in the entire house re
moved their hats. and plume and pOul-
try lodging was the order of the morn
ing; and in this way everyone got
chance to practice her "Delsarte neck
movements" warranted to make thin
necks fat and fat neclIs thin. Only
few men patronize these morning
operas, and as they are of a type that
haunt the vestibules of the stores at
this season Of the year and carry home
bundles, they are warmly welcomed.

Is CENTS DAY.
That is the Price Paid Labor on Ori-
entail Railroad Building

Washington, Dec. 16.-It is a curious
fact that while Japan is making efforts
to find outlets for her surplus labor by
emigrati ton. she is being threatened at
home with a competition of even cheaper
labor Horace Allen. United States con
sui general at Seoul. has sent to the state
department an extract from native pa
per showing that the COrean laborers are
much priced in Japan. and that consider
able numbers of them are being taken
there to work in the coal mines a which
work they are superior to the japanese
in many respects.
It has also been found that in work up
on the SeOul-ChemulpO railroad, now be-
ing constructed by Americans. the Co
reans are superior to the Chinese as Ia
borers upon earthworks, and the en-
gineer in charge reported that they are
quite as good as the labor in America
though they are paid only 10 cents in gold
per day and feed themselves.

TILL AFTER CHRISTMAS.
Consideration of currency Measures
viii be Laid Aside.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The house COM
mittee on banking and currency held
an animated session today. 1t had
been planned to report to the house at
once a bill embodying the presidents
financial recommendations, and Mr..
Brosius, from a sub committee, nad@
a favorable recommendation on this
course of procedure.
1t was sharply opposed, however, by
Messrs. johnson of Indiana, Mitchell of
New York and Newlands of Nevada.
It was evident the committee could
not agree. A compromise was made
by which the bill covering the presi-
dents recommendations and the bill of
Secretary Gage and that of the Indi-
anoplis monetary commission shall be
taken up at the first meeting after the
holidays.
1t was agreed also that after hearing
Secretary Gage tomorrow, the commit
tee would adjourn until the second
Wednesday in January.

The Coming PeonIe.

There is so much that is pessimistic and
depressing in current literature that Rev.
Charles F. Dole's cheerful philosophy in
the little volume he calls THE Coming Peo-
ple'' comes like breath of fresh air. He
fears that his readers will consider his book
too boldly optimistic. and explains in a
preface how he came to hold his views,
but the explanation is unnecessary; his ar
guments and assertions in the several chap
ters speak for themselves. He begins by
showing conclusively enough that in spite
of wars, rumorS or wars and of the exist
ence of great standing armies it is peace
that rules in the world and that in a very
literal way the saying of Christ that the
meek'-that is, the gentle, the peaceful
shall inherit the earth has been fulfilled.
In spite of evils social. political and moral
he sees progress, continued though slow;
he sees the steady growth OF moral in
fluences in public and private life. He be-
lieveS that the best and highest types of
humanity that now exist, though in the
minority, are types of what the mass will
be when the moral evolution has progressed
still further. He believes, in short, in the
supremacy of good over evil and in the
final regeneration of mankind through pro-
cesses now going on. The book is the ex-
preston of broad religious faith and de-
serves a wide reading. Publishers: T. Y.

A MILLIONAIRE's FREAK.
How the Founder of Monte Carlo
GambIed Once, and Only Once.
London Mail.


Mons. Blanc. the founder of the casino at
Monte Carlo, which really means Monte
Carlo ITSELF was very eccentric. If he had
ever been young there is no record of the
fact, for he is always described as little
old gentleman in a long coat, and walking
with the aid of q yellow cane without
which he was never seen during his wax
ing hours. Though enormously wealthy, he
was excessively thrifty in trifiing matters
and would haggle like an old clothes man
to save franc on articles for his personal
use, though he thought nothing of eXpend-
ing hundreds of thousands of francs in
beautlTying the casino and the miniature
city. he was never known to play at the
tables, excepting on one occasion, and then
ii was a somewhat costly experience.
While on a visit to the Weisbaden casino
with Nine. Blanc, he was in the habit of
accompanying her on a morning stroll each
day. During one of these walks madame
complained of the heat of the sum- and re-
ouested her husband to buy her a parasol.
Accordingly the two entered the shop
where madame selected a very pretty ar
ticle. worth 50 francs-about GO 4s-which
NJ Blanc. with scowl and muttered
grumble, paid
When the Casino opened at noon great
was the establishment of the croupierS and
the visitors to see Nj. Blanc place two louis
on the red at one of the trente ct quarante
tables. The attendants FASTENED to get him
a chair, but this he declined saying he was
only going to remain q few minutes When
the cards were dealt he won, and, taking up
his winnings, left the original stake on the
table, For second time he won, ard had
now got pack the price or the umDrella-
But not content he ventured another two
louis. which this time he lost Somewhat
annoyed at this. the founder of the place
doubled the stake and won, thus getting
back the cost OF the umbrella again.
Determined. however. 10 regain his two
louis, he staked them again. only to see
them raked in by the bank. Thus he kept
on winning and losing. but never able to
recover the two louis, till at last he found
himself twenty-five louis out all the gold
his pocketbook contained. A thousand franc
note he had was quickly changed and swal-
lowed up. Then, becoming exasperated. he
