Startled the ola Man.

The acoustics Of Statuary hall in the
capitol at Washington area matter Of
wonder to tourists, and many are the
tricks played upon them. An exchange
tells of youth employed in one Of the
departments who was visited by his
father recently and took the old gentle
man to Statuary hall. There is block
about the center of the circular hal.
where. IL one stands and faces the
north, sound uttered from the door
way, 40 feet In the rear, seems to be
Immediately in front of this block. The
youth mani ed to get his father on the
block and, {, attracting his attention to-
ward statue in front, slipped to the
rear and said: "What time have you!
My watch has stopped" The father
drew out his watch and was half
through giving him the time when he
locked around and saw that he was
standing alone and that the son was
nowhere to be seen. He was bewildered
and looked like the man from beneath
whose coat ollar the magician has Just
extracted a live goose. Presently the
son stepped forth from the pillar where
he had been in hiding, but 1t required
many explanations to restore the old
gentleman's serenity:

A mass meeting of the people OF Hot
Springs is called at the city hall for
next Wednesday eveding, May 4th, to
organize for the active work of dispos-
ing of stock in the association. Every
resident of Hot Springs is certainly in
terested in the library association, and
should show their interest by being
present. Do not forget it.
The president of the association, Mrs.
p. T. Evans. while in Omaha recently
was presented, for the association, with
sixty-six volumns of books, twenty
nine of which are historical works, and
the others miscellaneous. The donor
was Mrs. Capt. Marsh, who feels quite
an interest in Hot Springs, and in the
effort being made to organize a library
association. Her generous gift will
certainly be greatly appreciated by the
people of this city, as it forms a good
nucleus for the library. AS soon as
the association gets we'll started and
has rooms there will no doubt be many
similar gifts made.

J. B. Moon Now Declares himself
Outside the Breastworlzs.

]. B. Moon of Emporia, who left the
Republican party to join the Farmers
Alliance in 1890, then in 1892 became a
Populist. returning to the Republican fold
in 1894, departing to the silver ranks again
in 1896 is now "bolting'' the silver crowd
Mr.. Moon is chairman of the Lyon coun-
ty silver central committee and was in
vited to attend the conference. He de-
clined and sent the following letter to
Webb McNall:
Dear Sir: I received your letter of the
3rd urging me to be present at the free
silver Republican conference at Topeka on
the 18th. I shall not come. I see in the
morning papers that the conference is to
be held in Representative hall, and is to
be addressed by such distinguished Re
publicans as David Overmyer, John Mar
tin, Atwood and somebody from Missouri.
Of course, Whoop TomIinson, Charlie HoI-
nday and Click could not be given an OPP
portunity, for want of room, but they
might give you a chance to make a few
remarks for yourself, Webb.
'SYou and 1 left the old Republican par
ty solely because of the money question,
and not for office, and not to breathe life
into the Democracy of Kansas If my
patriotism is to be perverted, and if I
have got to go to the grave digging after
the dead corpse of Democracy, which I
have helped to bury with the best efforts
and years of my life, pray thee have me
excused, for I want no part in the mat
ter.
AT present I am closely associated with
a few Independent spirits in this county
who formerly belonged to different par
ties, but who now, thank God, belong to
none, and if we can do as much good
locally in the future we did in the last
election we shall have a respectable rec
ord to die on and leave to our children.
1.-The late PopuIist conference did not
catch US, and your proposed Republican
conference will equally prove failure.
You fellows seem to have made up your
minds that it is better to get Leedy re-
nominated and all go down in defeat to-
gether, than it is to nominate Mr.. Boyle,
McNan or some other good man, and
sweep the state clean at the election.

BEST OF THE SEASON.
eThe Prisoner of Zenda" Brings Out a
Large Audience.

Anthony Hopes novel 1.-The Prisoner of
Zenda' is a remarkably romantic story,
and in the dramatization Edward Rose
has given the stage a remarkably ro-
mantle play. It was given even a better
performance than last year at the Craw-
ford theater last night, and it was seen
by the largest audience that the house
has had this season.
The superiority of the performance last
night may be explained by the fact that
when here last year Mr.. Gould was but
four weeks with the company and new to
the part This year he is at home in the
dual role of king and Englishman, and
gave an excellent Interpretation of the
part last night. With his ability as an
actor he combines a fine stage appear
ance, which in the majority of cases is
in itself requisite in the romantic
drama.
Mr.. Gould was given excellent support
by his company, and in the part of Capt.
Sapt'' Mr.. r. F. McClannfn was thought
by many equal to Mr.. Gould himself A
better portrayal of the Capt. Sapt of the
novel could hardly be imagined
The play was put on entirely with spe-
ciaI scenery and accessories. and formed
one of the best dramatic productions that
