There was a strange box party at tho Olympic
Theatre last night. II was a party such as the
Olympic seldom sees. The strangeness lay not
in the people who occupied 1.-TWO men and
three women-but in the refreshments with
which they RECALLED themselves during the per-
Torrance. They began to feed upon peanuts,
which are conceded everywhere to be a gallery.

When the occupants OF the first stage box had

with which they were plcntifully supplied, ana
began to suck the juice from the luscious fruit
before they devourci the meat. The COmbina-
ton OF peanuts and oranges had stirred up u
thirst among them and they kept the ushers
running in double file fetching trays full Of

and when their thirst got beyond the control NJ
water they sent for the head usher and ordered
bottled beer.
The demand raised n storm in the msher's
breast. and he replied rather sarcastically that
the Olympic was not a Winter Garden. where
drinks were served promiscuously. The box
party was all broke up over the arraignment OF

SEX AND POPULATION.
Egypt ny No Means the OnIy land where

Egypt ny No Means the Only Land where
the Men Outnumber the women.
The London Post has lately called attention
to the statement that Egypt 10 to enjoy the sin
gular distinction OF being the one country In The
world where men exceed women in number. BY
the latest census the male sex in the doninions
of the Khedive sHcsods the female by 100. 1000.
This alleged distinction of Egypt lacks. how.
ever, the important feature of being accurate.
Egypt is not the only country in which women
are o~utnumbered by men; there are others-sev-
eral others-and in the number of these
are the United States. By the census Of
1890 there were In this country 1.513,5l0
moro male than female inhabitants. In Aus
tralia tho disparity between the sexes Is even
greater than it is here. Nor can this preponder-
ance of men be ascribed to the comparatively
recent settlement of the United States and OF
Australia, for In Italy men outnumber women.
and by the last italian census there was an
excess OF male over female inhabitants In the
proportion OF O.2O to 1850. Nor is Italy the
only European country In which this disparity
is to be found. In Greece the percentage Of
male inhabitants Is higher even than 1t is In
Italy, and so II Il. too. In Seryia ana fonmania;
exception OF Chilli and Venezuela, men outnum'
Der the women. and this Is particularly the case
Eneiand's South African colonies. in India, and
in Canada, as well as In Egypt. the number OF
mai Inhabitants exceeds the number OF female
inhabitants. and il is not easy, therefore,, to SEQ
how such an error should have been made ms 10
say Egypt was entitled TO the distinction
claimed for il. provided. always. that an excess
OF male population may be regarded az n dis
~tinction, which most certainly every gallant
deny. Esypts claim to any partIcSIar
proininence in this matter is based on a very
slender foundation at best. BY the census pre-.
vious to the last one It was shown that the total
number OF male inhabitants was 3, lO2. 900 and
the number OF female Inhabitants was 3.4l6,-
600. In a population, Therefore. of nearly 1000
600 the excess OF female inhabitants at that
time WAS $4,000. and II since then the scale has
been turned slightly and now shows a small
preponderance ri men, there Is certainly nothing

Mike Lamuth. an Austrian. A. years
of age, who is troubled with mental
whirligigs, was examined before Judge
Lindsay last evening by Drs. NJ. q.
MacNevin and G. ID. Bryant, and was
found to De insane and ordered COM
mitted to the asylum. DIR. =. j. Shee-
ran. county physician, testified that
Lamuth was suffering from religious
mania. and had since his confinement
in the Jail prayed almost constantly.
The doctor believed him to he insane.
John Lamuth. a brother % the de-
mented man, testified thai Mike called

weeks ago. and after having breakfast.
spent the time nom 8 O'CLOCK in the
morning until 2 o'clock in the afternoon
gains intently at n clock and upon
being asked to explain his conduct. said
he had to do ii. Once in a while he
would go into the bedroom and pray
for five or ten minutes at a time.
Peter kotze stated that Lamuth had
been at his home in VAUDEVILLE a
short time and that he noticed nothing
wrong with him until about a month
ago when at breakfast Lamuth arose
from the table, placed a cup of coffee
under the bed and said that was for
his father. who was in need of help.
His father died about 40 years ago. Mr..
KotZe also stated that Lamuth claimed
he saw his father and mother almost
every night. He also testified that for
a few days preceding his arrest La
muth seemed to see something in the
house clock and would ask witness IL
he knew what IL said. After going to
bed he occasionally picked up the bed
clothing and went out into the yard
and prayed.
Martin Pishkur, one of the jailers at
the court house, testified he had been
acquainted with Lamuth for q number
of years and since his confinement in
jail. he seemed to think his father was
after him for help. that the old man
was troubling him and told him that he
did not have any rest anywhere and
that IL Pishkur did not let him out he
would not see him alive the next morn
ing. Lamuth also imagined he was
chasing the Virgin Mary and Jesus
Christ round the cell.
Mike Lamuth was then examined by
the physicians. Being asked why he
was brought to jail, said he had been
brought in a buggy and told he would
get a good job. Being asked about
his conference with the clocks. he said
the clock he examined promised him
$500 or 5000. He also said he saw his
father and mother at night and also
a brother. His father would say to
him, Mike. Mike. I have been your
father; help me-" He also saw Jesus
Christ and Mary the Virgin, with his
father and mother. and labored under
the delusion they would chop his
head off.
Mrs. Mike Harrington will be ex-
amined on Thursday morning at 10
O'Clock and George Baum. in Jail for
murder. on the same date at 2
