"The Battle of Manila" spectacle at
Snowflake Park drew large audience
last evening. Probably the people ex-
pected more than they saw, the length
of the performance not exceeding one
hour, and expectation having been
unduly excited. The exact facts are
that there is an immense stage space
nearly 80 feet broad and 100 feet deep.
Il is hanked with very good and I'M
posing scenery and by sets showing the
water front Of a city with lofty build
ings in the rear and Notifications Of
the Spanish order. In the water
number of modern warShipS are
seen, some of them being of gigantic
size. Spanish men are seen working
about the wharves; the Captain Cen
eral arrives and is escorted to his
throne, and a fetef begins. A very good
ballet gives Spanish dances, strong
electric lights Illuminating the scene,
and band or orchestra being located
on the left. Then the Maine sails into
the harbor. Captain Sigsbee comes
ashore in a launch with blue jackets
and marines. Then there is a second
and third ballet performance, one
being an American ballet dance. Then
| is an Indian club exercise with cut
lasses by an expert, and then fourth
ballet performance, in all of which
Quasina, the shirt dancer, has the lead
| ing part and maintains it well. There
are occasional flights Of rockets and
other pyrotechnic exhibitions. A full
military company marches on during
the spectacle Company G of this city,.
Suddenly the Maine is blown up, dark
| ness enSues and on the lights being
turned on the wreck of the Maine is
shown-the best of the scenic presen-
tations. While the scene shifts two or
three set pieces are shown and burn
well, one is a shamrock, another a tri-
butte to the Elks, and third, later, is a
portrait of Dewey. The lights turned
on again disclose the same water
front, but it is now supposed to be at
Manila. Spanish troops are about to
execute a prisoner when the battleships
open fire, bombs and Roman candles
serving to represent the shells. There
are many heavy explosions. The Span
ish gunboats and a man-of-war ap-
pear, and are sunk From the fore
ground American troops move up and
open fire and Spanish soldiers reply.
This was the best and most effective
part Of the show. With flights of
rockets and bombs and the charge Of
the troops the scene closes. Pyrotechnic
bouquets are fired, a goodnight piece
burned and the show is over It is
rather pretty throughout, and the
scenic effects and dancing are good.
But good deal is left to the imagina-
ton and considerable stretches of fancy
are necessary to accommodate the show
to historical truth. The pyrotechnics
were quite good but nothing out of the
ordinary. 1t is the first outdoor affair
of spectacular character ever seen
here, and at least is a novelty It is
not surprisingly notable affair." how
ever, though decidedly a pretentious
one, and involves a large number of
participants and a great deal of mann
moth scenery. A second performance
will be given at $50 tonight and a
performance every night this week.

Count de Almenas in the Spanish
Senate has more courage than his op-
ponents gave him credit for possessing.
Having said that certain Spanish Cen
erals were responsible for the present
ills Of Spain and the terrible condition
which brought ON the war and ended
in Spanish humiliation, he was chal-
lenged on Monday to name the men II
he dared. And he did dare, and imme-
diately named Weyler, Blanco and Ri
vera. The announcement led to an ex-
traordinary tumult, as well it might.
Light is breaking through the clouds in
Spain. After all, the American war
may have been the happiest of events
for Spain. She may yet rise from the
ashes Of defeat, strong and refined. 1t
needs only a few such brave men as
Senator Almena.s to kindle flame that
may burn through Spain to its purifi-
cation and freedom from the domina-
tion of militarism.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Orpheum had another full house
last night, even better than the first
evening. What Happened to Jones"
was heartily enjoyed. Mr.. Clarke's s
troupe goes to Stockton to-day. To-
night at the Orpheum "The Corbett-
Fitzsimmons veriscope" exhibition. 1t
is the only genuine reproduction Of the
contest held at Carson City. The ap-
paratus used is the most complete ever
constructed and has had commenda-
tion wherever shown. The contest is
shown in every detail, the figures all
being life size. Wherever shown the
exhibition has wet mith public favor.
The performance begins by showing the
preliminary arrangements after Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons have entered the
ring. The official announcer is seen as
he declares the terms and conditions
OF the contest, which were for the
heavy weight championship of the
world and a purse of $4,000, and in
cidentally the wiping out of as bitter
hatred as probably any two sporting
men ever held toward each other. He
introduces Corbett and Fitz to the
waiting multitude, and then introduces
George Sier, the official referee, who
orders the men to don the gloves, which
are examined by the Sheriff and also
the doctor, who also examines both
men, as required by law. Corbett and
Fitzsimmons walk about the ring
awaiting the call of time. The referee
orders them to shake hands. Corbett
proffers his, but Fitzsimmons refuses
and turns his back: the gong rings and
the contest begins and 40 on through
out with marvellous fidelity. 1t Is
claimed that in other meving pictures,
presented by the different machines,
there are none which have ever been
able to either photograph or present a
scene of over one minute duration,
which takes about 100 feet of film, and
presents about 900 separate photo
graphs but the veriscope presents a
picture of one hour and ten minutes
duration, and handles two and one

The Cycling !
Girl of '98|

The bicycle girl of 1898, like the
golf and the tennis girl, is eminently
sensible. Time was, not so many
moons ago, when she revelled in
boomers, dreamed of halcyon days.
when skirts would be relic of the
tyrannous past and the divided skirt
would have developed into tight
fitting something which she hardly
dared pronounce.
But the DAVIS of the fad are gone,
the era of a sane bicycle attire has
come at last, and the long search
for something graceful as we'll as
comfortable seems to have ended sue
cessfulIy. The most enthusiastic BIZ
cycling damsel now admits that the
skirt which will look as we'll off
as on a wheel is the desideratum
aside her false hopes and her divided
skirt, and comes into the sunlight
bathed in the smile of her own new
loneliness and the sweetest of skirts.
AS a matter of fact. however, the
tailor was largely to blame 1t was
new problem to him. and he Crap
pied with it in anything but a SEN
sible way. He made the skirts too
wide or too marrow and the folds
never could be properly adjusted, so
the bicycle girl in very desperation
put on boomers or the divided skirt.
This year. however, the tailor has
reached deep into the knowledge Of
what is a real bicycle attire and the
skirts fit as perfectly as the best
English or French riding habit. There
is no waste of material. no unneces-
sary addition. and yet the skirt is as
trim and becoming as the most
fastidious could wish for. In France
the pretty boulevard bicycle girl in
sists on wearing tights underneath
this ideal skirt. She will never get
over her desire to add just a touch
Of suggestiveness to even the prettiest
of costumes. But that is to be ex-
pected of France, where they do such
daring things, and yet insist on call
ing our own dear American girls
| forward"
In this country the bicycle girl
worn underneath the skirt serve
every purpose Of comfort and ease.
For the skirt is rarely worn longer
than the tops of the natty looking
boots. In material the best and most
omfortable Knockers and skirt
they should be made of the same
stuff-are of pongee, landsdowne or
India silk. Some bicycle girls of deli
cate constitution prefer wooden ma
terial even for midsummer, but they
are the exception. The skirt is SEN
sible in more respects than its length
and it's bell-shaped form, for it lacks
the fulness at the hips and opens at
either side of the front, where it is
prettily buttoned along the entire
| length.

ing the skirts of double-faced ma

boots and is taking to plaid stockings
and low shoes. The sensible girl will
not wear leggings. They are far too
uncomfortably warm. And even in
stockings the sensible girl will be
careful to wear just what will
most effectively display a pretty
ankle or hide the opposite.
But the bicycle girl of 1898 has
added a feature to her costume which
would bring a smile of derision to
the face of her Partisan sister. She
never goes out riding without a
patriotic emblem of some kind. 1t
may be on her Elton jacket or it may
be in the bit of ribbon she puts on
her wheel, but no American wheel
woman is quite au fait unless she
has somewhere in evidence the red
white and blue of the nations flag.
The golf girl wears the skirt a
trif1e longer, but in all other respects
it is made exactly the same. There
are no unnecessary frills about the
golf costume. It is a plain, simple
and eminently sensible.

terial, thus giving the pert bicycle
girl chance to show a variety OF
costume. by a simple turn of the
cloth. For instance a black and
white check will have the opposite
side dark blue or black The check
must be medium sized, for the bicycle
girl of 1898 is certainly not going in
for anything loud. In fact, the ten
dency is altogether in the opposite
direction Strange to say even the
girl that loves the most radical color
effects in her winter attire, DOW fol-
lows the fashionable edict of quiet
style, entirely unobtrusive to the
eye. 1t is only on the jacket worn
with these bicycle garments that
some decided diversity is allowed.
The rule is, "Wear whatever is in
style and becomes you" Therefore
many take to the Elton jacket. 1t is
natty and small, and makes a parcel
that is quickly rolled up and easily
carried on a wheel. Most of these are
made with loose fronts and fastened
at the throat only. Many, however,
prefer the longer coat, and find that it
is easily wrapped up and strung to
the handle-bar if some little extra
care is taken.
just now with the real warm
weather setting in, the bicycle girl
is laying aside her long bicycling

Late in 1861, when President Lincoln
issued call for volunteers, L. ]. Clark,
of Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was
among the first to respond. 1t was at the
terrific bombardment of the Vicksburg
forts that the hero of this story fell with
a shattered arm from charge of shrap-
mel.
After painful months in the hospital, he
recovered sufficiently to be sent to his
home at Warren, Ohio. Another call for
troops fired his patriotic zeal and Clark
soon enlisted in Company II of the 7th
Ohio Volunteers. He was in many en-
gagements. Being wounded in skirmish
near Richmond, he was sent to the hospi-
tai and thence home.
