as the prices will be popular, 10, 20, 80

The Empress" with Mile. Rhea in

evening. This is Mile. Rhea's latest

success wherever it has been produced.
The principal characters in The En-
press are Napoleon and Josephine,
which are played by Mile Rhea and
William Harris, one of the best inter-
pretations of the great Corsican, in
America. The period Of which the
play is written offers an excellent op-

handsome settings. The company sup

Irving the Wrong Man.

An unusual verdict was rendered by
the jury in case tried in a California
town twenty-five years ago. The ques-
ton was as to the ownership of several
head of cattle, which the defendant
was accused of having stolen from the
plaintiff. AS the case proceeded and
different witnesses gave their evidence,
it became apparent to all listeners that
the defendant was an innocent man.
When it came time for the jury to re-
tire to consider their verdict, they did
so, but returned to the courtroom in
few moments. The foreman looked
the Judge straight in the eye, and said
with drawl and twang which betray-
ed his New, England origin: "Jedge,
we find the plaintiff guilty. "The
court is not trying the plaintiff, but
the defendant" said his honor, hasti-
ly; and the matter being explained,
the foreman was at length induced to
express the jury's opinion that the de-
PENDANT was "Not guilty. "Howsom-
ever" added the foreman, solemnly.
"pears to me we're considering the
wrong man, your honor!'

SPANS Power 800 Years Apo

Macauley drew the picture of the
power of Spain 300 years ago. that if is
interesting to recall at this i,1ncture.
The empire of Philip the Second was
undoubtedly one of the most powerful
and splendid that ever existed in the
world. It is no exaggeration to# saw
that during several years his power
over Europe was greater than even
that of Napoleon. In America his do
miaions extended on both sides If tho
equator into the temperate zone. There
is reason to believe that his annual
revenues amounted in the season Of
his greatest power to a sum ten times
as large as that which England yielded
to Elizabeth. He had standing army
OF $4,000 troops when England did not
nave single battalion, in constant
pay. He held, what no other prince
in modern times has held, the domin-
ion both of the land and the sea. Dur
ing the greater part of his reign he was
supreme on both elements. His SOL
diers marched up to the capital of
France; his ships menaced the shores
OF England. Spain had what Napo-
leon desired in vain-ships, colonies,
and commerce. She long monopolized
the trade of America and of the Indian
ocean. All the gold of the west and
all the spices of the east were received
and distributed by her. Even after
the defeat of the Armada, English
statesmen continued to look with great
dread on the maritime power of Philip.
Whoever wishes to get well acquaint-
ed with the morbid anatomy of gov
eminent, whoever wishes to know how
great states may be made feeble and
wretched, should study the history of
Spain.

BY RAIL IN PERIL

Cfe" Is Never In q Hurry and Time
Cuts No Figure.
From the New York Sun: The rail-
roads IN Peru are unlike anything of
the kind elsewhere in the world. We
Americans, especially we Californians,
hear good deal about Henry Meiggs'
wonderful railroad up the Andes. No
doubt 1t Is a great piece of engineer
ing, but 1t seems to. me that the most
wonderful art of the railroad is the fact
that the Peruvians ever let anyone
outside of their country make for
tune or achieve any result in Peru.
The management of the Andean rail-
road is unique. There are no time
cards that we could ever discover. We
were simply told that the train would
go north or south in the morning or
afternoon Of certain day, and we had
to wait for it. The natives stretched
themselves out on the railroad station
platform and slept until the little train
came in, with a locomotive twenty
years behind the times and cars that
we used to see in the United States
along in war times. There is always
all the elaboration in the world about
starting the train from the station. No
one cares for time among Peruvian
railroad men. The engineer Jokes with
the loafers about the station and de-
liberately oils and looks over the loco
motive. Stops of twenty minutes at
ordinary stations are common. Near
ly all so-called accommodation trains
are run three times week. The trains
rattle along at twelve miles an hour
and will stop for the night at station.
Then the next morning the engineer
will stoke up his locomotive and the
train will joggle along again, stopping
for rest when night comes on. I don't
believe there is train run in the night
On Henry Meiggs' railroad in Peru. A
man at Lima told me that a few weeks
ago locomotive ran off the track and
rolled down a thirty-foot embankment,
and that it was ten days before the
locomotive was put on the track. The
workmen worked leisurely in the day.
time and quit at each nightfall. Mean
while traffic on that branch of the road
was suspended.

Bamboo Suspension Bridge.

The construction of the bamboo sus-
pension bridge of Shi Tsuen, which
spans distance of 300 feet, tends to
show the Chinese as possessing great
deal of rough engineering skill, this
bridge having been erected without the
help of any of the foreign DEVILS"
Eight cables of bamboo strips woven
together, and the thickness of mans
leg are loosely. thrown across the river.
The cables are doubled at both ends
and hitched through wooden posts of
heavy weight that are fixed in ma
sorry, but in such manner that they
can be turned around like windlass,
enabling the natives to tighten the ca
bles. Fixed under the cables at in
tervals Of four and half feet are cross
Orders made Of thin strips Of bamboo
which are brought up on both sides
and made fast to great bamboo cable,
about five feet above the bridge, which
acts as railing or banister.
