Some Odd Points of ReSem blance Be
tween the Two Theaters Last Night
Theatrical attractions in Topeka last
night suffered by the weather. People
generally refused to leave their fresides.
and a ParIor Match at the Grand and
Little Trixie" at the Crawford were
put on principally to empty chairs. Had
there been more paper out the audi

the At passes issued at the Grand Opera
house 45 were taken up at the door last
night At the Crawford theaCer the
proportion was about the same StOr-

chase of something for nothing.
There were several condolences about
the two performances last night A
man named Gray took tickets at the
door of the Grand and another man

beer, open the lower box and take it
out. The tramp followed him to the
telephone asked to be connected with a
brewery and had his eyes blown full OF

ford theater during the third act of
Little Trixie." also saw a member OF
that company walk up to a telephone,

the lower box
The coon" character followed him,
asked to be connected with a brewery,
and turned pale under the influence of a
charge of -four OF course there was the
difference between beer ard wine, but
maybe after all both were an identical

larger. The various members of the two

FATE OF THE TERESA.
Looted by Native Islanders and Eve
~ Thing Taken But the Cat

Nassau, n. P, Nov 15.-The cable

an outline Of the case Of the Spanish
cruiser Maria Teresa, which went ashore
in a heavy gale at Bird Point. Cat Is

At last advices she was still ashore
with little probability of being gotten
off. The gale that sent her ashore was
so heavy that she was driven far up
the reefs and rests now as soma as
rock in twelve feet Of water, the water
inside Of her rising and falling with the
tide.
She is supposed to be bi1ged. A very
heavy surf is pouring in on the reefs
rendering it difficult to board her. The
ships pet, a large cat, remains on board
her and nobody can catch him The

stranded, q well worn American ensign
has been brought to Nassau and Consul
McLaIn insists on keeping It at the con
sulate as a souvenir of the spanish war
ship which so patheticaIly sought a final
resting place on the very shores where
Columbus first landed
The British steamer Antilia returned
from the wreck on Sunday and reported
that it was impossible for her to accom-
pIish anything The surf was so heavy
that she could not get within a quarter
of mile of the Teresa though drawing
but nine feet. Two gentlemen on board
but the surf was so strong they could
not return and finally reached the shore
where they were left to return to Mas
sau by schooner.
The ship has been badly looted by the
negro natives of the vicinity, an ignor-
ant community who generally believe
that all wrecks are a present sent to
them by the Lord and to be gratefully
accepted and utilized accordingly. Ev-
erything movable has been taken away
and even the temporary pine deck. put
on at Guantanamo for the passage north

carried off by inhabitants to be utilized
in building cabins and in repairing old
ones. Much of the brass work and
copper has been hacked off and secreted

Immediately upon the arrival of these

By the Canadian Customs Officials for
Non-Paymen. of Duty.

Ottawa. Ont, Nov 22.-The biggest
seizure ever made by the Canadian Gus
toms department involving eighteen To-
cOnotiveS and 1000 box ears valued at
$3.50 ,000 has been made public. The
rolling stock belongs to the Booth sys-
TEN of railroads, with headquarters in
Ottawa, and was purchased in the
United States. The seizure was made
for alleged non-entry of the engines and
cars upon their arrival in Canada The
customs department requires that all
new cars entering the country must be
reported to the customs department.
The only defense. so far, of the COM
pauy is that the engInes and cars were
used for international traffic.

ting Cotton She Ought to Have.
SARDIs, Sept. 12.-The cotton fields
are white and hands are scarce. Farm.
ers are greatly discouraged over Dawson
prices, and the consequence is cotton is
going daily to the Plains, where better
prices are paid. Cotton goes almost
every day from Bass & Jones' gin and
from Parrot & Daniels gin. 1t seems
strange that the Plains can give better
prices for cotton and then sell meat and
flour and other goods cheaper than Daw-
