HORACE HURON MARCH r..

1.-THE Foundling," the latest success
full farce comedy in which the much

the Grand Opera House, Tuesday even
ing, March LIST, is the work of William
Lestocq, the author of Jane" and f.
NJ. Robson, and ran for nearly two sea-
sons at Hoyt's Theatre in New York.
The story revolves about the search for
a mother by young man whose mar
riage Is made conditional upon his pro-
ducing this undiscovered parent. The
young man, when he suddenly learns
that he is not the son of Sir Nicholas
Pennell, whom he has always regarded
AZ his father, hurries off to Brighton to
inform the amily of his betrothed and
releases the girl. He reached her home
at the moment when Major Cotton, his
betrothed's father, who is afraid of
nothing on earth except his wife, Is
trying to explain to Mrs. Cotton letter
addressed to him by n miisic hall song
Dick helps him out Of the scrape and
he IN turn agrees to help Dick to marry
his daughter in spite OF Mfc. Cotton.
His fancee is willing to accept him at
his face value, but the mother is obdur-

on a search for the missing parent.
Both of them become involved with
the music hall artist t. The Tricky Lit

Chicken.Picking Contest.

Chicken picking Is pronounced by
er-pulling art as science.
There are men in the city who can
pick a fowl as clean az the palm of
hand in eight seconds.
So deity is the work done, it is a
hard matter to follow the "modus oper-
andI' of the hands of the picker as he
denudes the fowl # it's teatherv iabiI-
ments.
All poultry firms have force of
cblcken-p ickers, but the local cham.
piunship is claimed by Clyde Ford, a
young white man, and Henry Jennings,
colored
Clyde and Henry recently met in a
''feather-pulling" contest at their place
o! employmsrt-athe st. Louis Poultry
and Game Company, 624 North Third.
The match was arranged by Charles
Ford, foreman of the company, and a
brother of Clyde.
Two dozen chickens were killed and
divided between the two "pickers."
\ special man scalded the fowls,
which were thrown on a uncovered
table in front of the contestants. The
foreman kept time.
"Keady-go" shouted Ford, and for
the next few minutes the air surround
ing the pickers was a swirling mass of
chicken legs, dangling necks and flying
feathers.
The fowls were hot-boiing-but that
made no difference to the contestants.
Henry finished his bird first, in thirteen
seconds
"Ge! Dis is easy!" he exclaimed.
Swish, rip, swipel CLYDE had caught
up. Ten seconds each on the fifth and
sixth chickens, nine on the tenth-and
the last two fat hens were laid down by
both in exactlv eight seconds. The
contest was a tie. The match lasted
| exactly two minutes and nineteen sec
onds, which was considered very good
time.
There is talk of arranging big match
| for prizes, and Clyde and Henry will
| likely meet again. Professional jeal-
ousv is high in chicken-picking circles
| just now.

CURIOSITY OF MONKEYS.
One Who Was Inquisitlve In Regard to
Home Brewed Ale.

Curiosity seems to be the great fail
ure, or virtue. of monkeys. A story l.
told Of an Englishman who had
South African monkey which had
Travelled with him around the world
When his bachelor days were over he
took his young wife to a lovely Gid
manor house in the south Of England,
and, Englishmanlike, kept several ba--
rels of good "home-brewed" ale in the
cellar. On returning from church IN
Sunday morning he noticed that the
cellar door was open. and started on 2
tour of investigation. AS he went down
the steps Jenny, the monkey, rushed
up, and he found that she had set all
the spigots running. The door had
been inadvertently left open. and Jen-
ny. doubtless. went prying into the
semi-lighted place. Turning one spigo,
on produced such rushing stream
that she tried the others also, much to
the waste of the liquor. 1t may re
added that when the Englishman' 8
firstborn appeared and monopolizeI
attention, Jenny got such fit of jeai-
ousy that she was at once sent to he
secluded but more eongenial society IL
be found in the monkey house OF -ho

What Think You Of Such Rules ?

We publish below copy of the rules
and regulations which Mr.. Clymer, the
genial (?) and gentIemanly (?) manager
of our County Work house, submitted
to the Board of Supervisors asking that
they be adopted. We are glad that it
did not take the members of the Board
long to decide that no such rifles should
be ordered by them, and we understand
that one member remarked that the
Board had been considering for some
time a set of rnles-but they were to
govern the manager, principally, not
the inmates. aud We suggest that they
be perfected at once, as Mr., Clvmer
| has given evidence in his submitted
regulations of nature which might re-
quIre iron chains, at times, to conquer.
The rules submitted might have been
copied from the forms used in the time
ofthe Caesars, but il some of them are
to be found, as is claimed, upon our
statute books somebody had better see
to it that they are stricken off. as they
are certainly disgrace to a Christian
people. Many of the men who are sent
TO the wOrkhouse are well educated.

victims of an appetite for strong drink.
ls there any reason Why they should be
denied reading matter? We should
judge that Mr.. Ciymer iinagines he Is
running a reformatorv on the old plan,
Of

men better. OF course We understand
that there must be general governing
rules, but let them be humane, at least.
We venture to say that If Mr.. CIymer
tried the dungeon, with bread and
water accompaniment for twentv-four
hours as penalty for violating anv one
of these rules, for instance, for smoking
or chewing tobacco. talking while at
table or work, sitting up after nine
O'Clock, he would rot be SO anxious to
recommend the punishment tor those
under his charge. We seriously oues-
ton whether a man who recommends
such barbarous rules is the right kind
of person to have i'll charge of the

Extracts from an Interesting
Letter,

Mi. Julius Olson, how Of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, but formerly of our city,
and connected with the Daily Leader,
" bile here, in writing an East end friend
says:
II am doing local work, and
sometimes 20 out as the travelling rep
resentatiye of the Daily Citizen" on
which paper l am working. 1t is quite
pleasant employment, keep. the mind
occupied and time flies fast. I do not
think journalism in New Mexico the
most promising field of venture, altho'
the Daily Citizen is paving institution
There may be opportunities to make
money here in mining for there seems
to be rich mineral resources practically
untouched as yet.
A race war is threading here ut pres
ent between the American element and
the Mexicans, or the Gringos and Greas-
lance. The fight is over the building of
a modern irrigation canal, which the
Americans favor and the Mexicans OPP
pose. The latter cling to the acequia
system which is crude and antedated
system OF irrigation handed down to
them from their fOrefathers. The case
is now in the courts and upon its out
come will depend IN a large measure
the future prosperity of the territory.
The promoters of the canal have won
the preliminary battle and are proceed
ing with the survey for the canal. The
Mexican is guided by the lamp of e1-
perience and judging from the past he
fears that en- influx Of progressive
American fariners, which will surely
follow the construction of the canal,
will push him into the background just
as the influx of American spectators
encompassed the ruin of nearly all the
wealthy Mexican land owners.

Two Pretty Entertainments.

Mrs. S. w. Whitmore one of the most
charming entertainers in the city gave
two very pretty affairs recently, one
last Saturday afternoon. which in spite
Of the bowling blizzard which prevail
ed. was attended by about twenty-five
ladies. The principal amusement con-
sisted in each one completing within
thirty minutes the "Vegetarian Ira
gedy," little story with twenty-on
blanks which were to be filled with the
name of some vegetable which would
connect and complete the sentences.
Mrs. Robt. Estes won the prize, beau
tiful little gilt framed water color, she
having succeeded in filling sixteen of
the blanks correctly. After this, re-
ireshments were served, and Miss Riels
ly read short but amusing story.
The other entertainment occurred
Tuesday afternoon the ODD when about
.orty ladies, many of them In beautiful
colonial costumes, assembled to play
cinch, here Mrs. Green won the head
prize, a cut glass sugar and cream set.
and Mrs. McCord took second hOnors,
q halt dozen old blue china plates. The
rooms were beautifully decorated with
flags and bunting, with red and white
carnations in abundance.

There was pleasant surprise for the
audience at the Grand last night. The
list of performers was such as to guar
antee one of the best entertainments
ever given in the city, and yet the hit
of the evening was made by an artist
comparatively unknown in New Orleans
Mr.. Horace Huron. His rendition Of
Irwin RussePs beautiful operetta,
"Christmas Night in the Quarters" was
one of the best pieces of character work
ever seen here, and his response to the
liberal encore, the original banjo ar.
rangement of "Old Folks at Home"
proved him to be what is SO rare-a
splendid musician as well as irst class
actor; and Mr.. Huron can credit him
self with being one Of New Orleans
favorltes.-TimesD Democrat.
