"TIMING" QUICK CHANGES.
An Amuse ment OF Which the 1inute
Hand is the Gauge of Excellence.

Older New York theatregoers recall,
and younger New York theatregoers
have heard about, the sensation Gre
ated by the late William ii. Lingard
on his first appearance in the United
states. Mr. Lingard was known in Eng
land as the lightning change artist"
and he came To the United States with
reputation already established as a
monologue performer who could make
complete changes OF costume in what
was regarded at that period as an in
credibly short time. His best remem-
bered sketch was Captain Jinks of the
Horse Marines" but he had a number
Of other like sketches descriptive of
life in the English army, at sea, at
fashionable watering place, on the
stage. or In one OF the clubs Mr.. Lin
gard, whose first appearance was made
at the Theatre Comique, which after
ward became famous as the home the
atre OF Harrigan and Hart, was accus-
toned TO present one type OF character
with an appropriate song and music
and then to leave the stage. making a
change of apparel so thorough as TO
surprise the auditors and SO rapid as
TO gain their immediate applause. In
the language of the theatre he was a
lightning" change artist but actually
the change Of costume took several
minutes. His success led to many imi-
tators and TO the establishment of what
might be called new group OF theat-
rical acts, change" acts they were
known as, and for more than twenty
five years change artists have been

EMPRESS AND PIANIST.
Wouldn't Await Royalty's Leisure
When Skating Was Fine.

Josef Hoffman,. the famous young
pianist, is fond of all sorts of sports, es-
pecially Of skating, i'm which, as a boy,
he excelled. When visiting st. Peters

GREAT RUN OF SHAD.

There Will be more shad caught in the Connecticut River this season than in any season for fifteen years. This Is the prophecy of Game Warden Alp bolt c. Collins and MT. Collins knows what he is talking about. Nothing but floods of unprecedented length can pre- vent the fulfillment of the prediction.
 Not only will there be more shad this spring than have run up the river in many years, but there will be more nets to catch them. Something like one hun dred nets will be spread to gather in
 the delicious fish and many an old fav- orite netting ground Will be used this
 year after many years of idleness.
 The shad have reached the mouth of
 the Connecticut and are beginning to
 come in and the fishermen at Say
 brook, Lyme, Deep River and up as far
 as Rocky Hill are all ready for the run.
 This will be the first year of the ap-
 pearance of the new shad that were
 set loose in the waters of the river by the fish commission and great things 1 are expected of the slliuful work of the hatchers. Three years ago the first young shad were started for the ocean and this year they are due back here,
 full grown fish.
 Last season there were many young shad in the mouth of the river, fish that would weigh about pound and one-half each, but they did not follow
 the old fish more than few miles from the sea.
 The expectation of this season is bas- | ed upon the new method of the hatch cries. For years the tiny fry was let | loose in the river and of the millions | released the perch and other fishes gathered in almost all. Then three years ago the scheme was changed and | the young shad which were matched out from April until July were not turned loose until October. When they | begun life for themselves they were | from three to five inches long and fit | to take pretty good care of themselves. A two-inch perch could lie and swal- ! low the tiny fry by the hundreds and 1 go to bed hungry, but the fiye-irch | shad is too big for any but the larger | fish.
 | It is some year since the fishermen
 have used the old fish places above | Hartford, but this year it is probable | that most of them will be occupied Tn | the Pennington river from Windsor to
 the rapids at Poquonock, there are
 many good fishing places and there IS | every prospect that the run of shad will be plentiful that these can be
 worked very proftably.
 The fish commission will not obtain | it's supply of fish up the river this year | because of the smallness of the appro- priation of the last general assembly | for this purpose. The fish will be taken at Shelton and the fry cared for in the 1 retaining ponds at Joshuatown,
 Later in the season some of the
 young may be fed and kept at the
 Windsor Locks place and thence start l ed out in life next fall.

WISHING TO INITIATE ANDREE.
 A short notice is given by "Himmel und Erde' of g. proposed attempt on the part of M. M. Goddard and Surcouf to reach the North Pole by means of ballooning. The expedition would start in the summer of 1898, selecting Spitz- bergen as a base of operations. The peculiar feature of the attempt seems to consist in carrying twelve small balloons, filled with hydrogen to serve as a gasometer to supply the main bal loon, which is of gigantic dimensions, with the gas which may leak or waste. M. Goddard counts on spending sixty days aloft, and to carry with him the means of support of no less than seven people, among whom will be found chemist, a meteorologist and a observation-disclosures.

FROM UNCLE HORACE.

His Idea of the Weather in April.
 Horace Johnson the weather prophet, predicted that from the Fist till the 18th of March, there would be great disturbances throughout this section of the country. The storm was to be of unusual severity, and accompanied by thunder showers. Both rain and snow would fall and very high winds will prevail along the coast.
 This storm will clear off cold, but the opening week in April will see a change for milder weather. April promises to be an exceedingly pleasant month. Earthquakes will be felt in va rious portions of the earth"

Now, I don't believe it has been any colder than that here this winter, and I am thinking of nov ing the orange grove up here, where can look at it occasionally.

wIcKEDEsT VILLAIN ON EARTH

WICKEDEST VILLAIN ON EARTH.
 The death of Tai Won Kun, father of the King of Corea, which was made known to the Minister of that country yesterday will simplify it's politics. He was probably the wicked est villain on earth, and for fifty years had been at the bottom or the top of all the mischief that has occurred In the Hermit Kingdom. He was Regent during the minority of the King, who inherited the throne from a childess uncle, and ruled with the most brutal despotism for quarter of a century. It was while he was at the head of affairs that we had our little war with Corea, which resulted in opening the country to foreigners. He was the foe of all forms of progress, and particu- larly hostile to missionaries and mod ern Improvements. He murdered thou sands of people who stood in his way or refused to bend to his will, and it took three years for the Government to get rid of him after the King be- came of age. Twice he was the prime mover in plots to assassinate his own son, and three times attempted the assassination of the Queen. The last attempt was successful in 1895.
 The old scoundrel lived in a palace a few miles outside the city surrounded by double guard, one of his own, in whom he had confidence, to protect him against the vengeance of those he had injured, and other provided by the Government to prevent him from leaving the place. He seems to have died natural death, and it is almost a miracle, for no other man on earth was so viciously hated.-Chicago Record.
