composed of students of the Columbian
University. the production taking place
at the Lafayette Square Opera House
The boys did exceedingly well but it was
remarked at the time that the require
mentS OF the score were too great for
male representation and that the bur-
lesque would be heard to much better ad-
vantage in the hands-and throats-of a
mixed company. This has been remem
bered and in next weeks presentation
feminines roles will be played by folks
who wear skirts off as well as on the
stage. Not only will one cast be engaged
in the coming offering but arrangements
have been made for a different company

PAY OF SOLDIERS.
Congress Expected TO Increase SAL
nries of Men ON Eorefpn DufN.

A question as to the pay of the garri-
sons in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines viii be brought to the attention of
Congress early in the session.
An effort will be made to secure high
er rate OF compensation for the men. If
they have trouble with the natives their
service will be practically the same as in
case Of war. AT any rate they will be
exposed all the time 10 a choice variety
OF tropical diseases.
II is said that the English soldiers on
duty at foreign stations receive double
the amount of pay given them for serv-
ice at home. The pay Of English soldiers
is over 25 per cent less than that Of the
Americans. but the argument in favor of
an increase for duty abroad is the same
in both cases.

CAPTURE OF PORTO BELLO.
The Pirate Morgan Forced Monks
and Nuns 10 Place Sealing Lad
ders Against the walls.

The buccaneers found Porto IIello
hard nut to crack; they landed aud
marched upon the town, which was de-
Tended 10y several forts or castles. Even
when one of these had been captured by
assault and blown up with all its gar
rison, who hal been taken prisoners,
still the town was not inundated.
The governor vowed he would never sur
render, but would die fighting to the
last. In vain the pirates made dcspcr-
ate efforts to capture the principal fort,
and Morgan began to despair. The gar
rison was strong and well commanded,
and whenever the pirates attempted Ia
scale the wall they were shot down, or
iirc-pots full of powder mixed with
stones and other missiles were hurled
upon them.
At last the willy MoySa? had an idea.
lie set his men To work to make some
ladders long enough to reach the top
of the walls aud wide enough to al
low three or four to go up abreast. II
he could get these properly set up, his
crew of desperate tigcrcats could make
a combined rush. and get over the walls.
but it was not Morgan's plan that these
men should lose their lives in getting
up these ladders. lie had captured
some converts in the suburbs of the
town, with n number of nuns and
monks, and he now ordered these poor
creatures, the women as well as the
men, to place the ladders against the
walls. believing that the Spanish gov
ernor would not allsv his soldiers to
fire upon these innocent persons.
But the governor was determined to
defend the town, no matter who had to
suffer, and 50 the soldiers fired at the
nuns and the monks just as though they
were buccaneers or any other enemies.
and begged their friends not to fire
upon them, but the soldiers obeyed tine
command of the governor, and the
pirates were close behind them, and
threatened them with their pistols, and
So the poor nuns and monks had to
press forward, many vi them dropping
dead or wounded. They continued their
work until the ladders were placed and
then over the wall swent the pirates with
yells and howls of triumph, and it was
not long after that the town was taken.
The brave governor died fighting in The
diers all united in the most vigorous de-
Tense, but it was uselcss.-Frank II.

1t saves a great deal of trouble to
wash up the heavy bedding by degrees
instead of doing it all on one day in
the season set aside for il. There are
always some counterpanes and some
blankets that are ready to be washed
and-put away for the season as early
As Ma: season the washings
are usually light, and one or two Of
these pieces can be washed on Monday
every week without interfering with
the other washing. \ windy day is not
a good day to dry blankets, but blan-
kets can be dried in a well-veutilated
kitchen, and dried better and more
quickly than any other way. 1t shrinks
them to expose them to the suns of
summer or the frosts of winter. The
only objection to drying blankets in
the house is the 'stuify," unpleasant
odor that may be acquired. This is
obviated by ventilating the room thor
oughly while they are drying. The
night, when there is no one in the room,
is the proper time to use the kitchen
as drying-room. 1t may then be thor
oughly ventilated, and the air be made
ms fresh and pure as the air outdoors
