how you do it. Do not hit the ground

comic operas imported from Spain are

box is, as the name implies, on the
stage itself and you could not be near

are too near for comfort. Tho light
blinds you, the dust and powder cover

ance are glaring.
On the night to which l specially re-
fer woman came upon the stage and
sang a ballad with much taste and feel

shrewd travellers of later date, whose
yeracity is beyond dispute, tell Of
much more inexplicablo things than
these. One of the best known writers
on occultism, Jacolliot, has eft an &C
count of certain things he saw during
his official sojourn i'll India which, as
they seem to defy explanation, may
fairly be classed among things incom-
prehensible. The performer was one
whom he accidentallymet and who re-
Huired some persuasion before he would
exhibit feats which, he continually af-
firmed were the work of other intelli-
gences.
On some sticks fixed upright in flow
erpots were placed some leaves from a
tree. with holes i'll each sufficiently
large to make them fall to the leval of
| the mold. Standing at considerable
! distance, the faklr made a gesture with
his hands. \ slight breeze seemed to
pervade the room, then the leaves quiv
cred and gradually worked upward on
the sticks Jacolliot placed himself be-

he did made any difference to the move

TURGENEFF ABHORS SPORT.
How Dying Pheasant Influenced His
Whole Career.

The celebrated Russian novelist, Tur-
Geneff, tells a most touching incident
from his own life, which awakened in
him sentiments that have colored all
his writings with "a deep and tender
feeling.
When Turgenef was a boy Of 10,
his father took him out one day bird
shooting. AS they tramped across tho
brown stubble golden pheasant rose
with low whir from the ground at his
feet, and with the joy Of "a sportsman
throbbing his veins he raised his gun
and fired. wild with excitement, when
the creature fell fiuttering at his side.
Life was ebbing fast, but the instinct
of the mother was stronger than death
itself and with feeble fiutter Of her
wings the mother bird reached the nest
where her young brood We're huddled,
unconscious of danger. Then. with such
look Of pleading and reproach that
his heart stood still at the ruin he had
wrought, and never to his dying day
did he forget the feeling Of cruelty and
guilt that came to him in that moment,
the little brown head toppled over, and
only the dead body of the mother shield
ed her nestlings.
Father, father" he cried. what
have | done:'' as he turned his horror
stricken face to his father. But not to
his fathers eye had this little tragedy
been enacted, and he said: "Well done,
my son. That was we'll done for your
first shot. You will soon be fine sports

THEY WERE BOUND OVER
Two of Gang of Alleged Thieves
Before Justice Burleigh.
A WRIT OF ftABEAS CORPUS
They tWm Endeavor to Gain Their
Freedom Pm q Technicality-Their
Work In lGreat Falls-Were
Captured in Helena.

Great Falls. Sept. 27.-This afternoon
William Hughes and Charles Mason,
two OF the gang Of thieves whom Chief
Guerin captured in Helena last week,
had their preliminary trial before JUS
tice Burleigh, and were bound e TO
the district court. They secured
sci and it is said that they will endeav-
or to secure release under writ of hab-
cas- corpus. AS the facts go they are
members of a dangerous band of bur-
glars, and it is unfortunate that they
should have an opportunity through
counsel to gain their liberty on a tech
nicality, as their freedom must endan-
gen not only this community, but the
entire state, or whatever other state
they may see fit to curse by taking
up their abode therein. Their charac-
ter Is shown by a brief recital of their
career in this city. They broke into
rooms in the old postoffice building n
there they took two new suits OF
clothes, a gold watch, a macintosh
and some change. In the Holt house
they secured $40 in cash, two gold
watches and one gold chain and dia-
mond locket. At the Minnesota house
they got away with two silver watches,
two pairs of trousers and one mackin-
tosh. and at the Arvon block they took
a silver watch and so. If they are
released, ii is likely that they will at
tempt to carry away the Bach-Cory
building or some other equally heavy
building.
When Guerin captured them in Hell
ena. learning of the wholesale business
they were carrying on through the eX-
press line. they had all the implements
of the trade carried on by thugs and
foot-pads. Here Is an inventory of the
tools taken away from them and which
are now in the curio room at the city
jail. The list includes a murderous
looking rubber black jack, heavily load
ed with shot and plugged with wood at
either end: one key-pincher, for twist
ing keys found in the locks; five skel-
eton keys, suitable for unlocking any
save a Yale lock; one pair of rubber
soled shoes, known to the profession as
sneaks. and a pair of loaded revolvers.
These were the tools taken from them
at their room in the Windsor hotel,
Helena, and with these they were car
rying on robberies by the wholesale in
both this city and Helena, exchanging
the plunder by express. Not all of the
evidence against them was produced at
the trial his afternoon, but there was
enough to warrant the holding OF the
precious pair to the district court. II
is probable that. as they have money,
strenuous efforts will be made TO Sc
cure their liberty, but their success
would be a dire calamity to the state.
