IN A CHINESE THEATER.
Scene in One Visited by an Ameri-
can at Honolulu.
Henry Hall, in Pittsburg Times.

Henry Hall, in Pittsburg Times.
At the extreme edge of the Chinese
quarter we found a theater. From the
noise inside it seemed a riot, but a
Chinaman who spoke English like a
native-of China-told us that one of
the oldest, most popular and thrilling
ly realistic Chinese dramas was now
going on inside. Gland" he said,
PLAY in China thousand year, You no
missee." But, can we get in?" "Oh,
can do all lightee. Come long me-"
1t was not so easy to get admission,
however, as he had promised. The
spectacled old Chinaman at the box Of
flee evidently did not take kindly to
US. and it was only after wordy
combat with our guide that he dealt
out the tickets from his claw-like fing-
ers.
We went in the gallery, where there
were no spectators but a few women
and children. The main audience was
downstairs, and was composed eXclu-
slvely of men. They all wore their
hats, but had put their shoes off, and
as few had stockings, and all had hoist
ed their feet on the back of the bench
in front of them, there was an inter-
esting display of pedal exlremities. The
stage had no drop curtain. At the
back was the orchestra, which played
increasingly on horse fiddles, drums,
guitars, flutes, gongs, triangles. pieces

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, oct. S.-The stock market
today continued In the bands of the pro-
fessional trading element. transactions
were of small volume and not widely dis
.tributed Such as they were, they re-
hected a decidedly unsettled and hesitate
ing frame of mind on the part OF traders.
The opening tendency was downwards,
affected by n break in Brooklyn Transit
and continued pressure on Northern Pa
cifc. The foregn markets were unset
tied by the political outlook In France,
light money in Berlin and the public agl-
tation in Spain for payment of interest
on government bonds In pesetas instead
of francs. This had some influence on the
opening here, although Americans had
been supported in London on orders from
New York. Total sales were i25,l0o shares.

in the center of the stage. That
meant that the scene was changed en-
tirely. While this seemed rather in
adequate to US, yet. as DR.. Samuel
Johnson said, when an audience can be
made to believe that Othello went from
Venice to Cypress while the curtain
was down there are a few dramatic
drafts upon the Imagination that cam
not DC honored, even in a Chinese thea
ter.
Never more than two actors appear
ed at once and there was very little
dialogue. Each seemed bent on out
schreeching the other, and both on
outsChreeChing the orchestra. The fe-
male parts were taken by boys who
spoke in a squealing falsetto. 1t is
difficult to tell Of play not one word
of which you could hear, or under
stand II you heard. But our Chinese
guide, philosopher and friend kindly
explained it all to us as ii went along,
For example, an old woman came out
and after weeping elaborately for more
than ten minutes, knelt before a por-
table altar which the barefOOtcd
