day.
"The Pulse OF New York; with Miss
Emyline Barr, the Baltimore belle, is
now on its eighth annual tour and will be
presented at the Vogt opera house, Mon
day, Dec. 9Th. Since last season this
favorite comic play has been entirely re-
written, nothing remaining of the old
performance; in fact it has received
surprising transformation from melo.
drama to musical farce, depicting the
funny side of city life.
The memorial services of the order
of Elks, which takes place next Sunday
afternoon in their hall, is to be the
most impressive and appropriate yet
Eeld. With music furnished by the re-
cently-organized male quartet and the
eulogy delivered by such famous orator
as D. Soils Cohen, beside the other ex-
ercises which are in themselves very,
beautiful, it will be an occasion to be re-
membered by those who attend.
R. J. German, accompanied by Com
tractor Robinson, arrived in the city last
might from Kingsley, where they have
been engaged in constructing the Seu-
fert & Condor telephone line. Work
has necessarily been slow on account of
the bad weather. Poles have been set
as far as Kingsley, and force of men
will leave Saturday to put in the wires.
The weather has compelled them to
cease operations for the present, so that
the line will not be extended farther
than Kingsley this fall. .----r
Checks were received today. by L. P.
/ Hanawalt, of the Massachusetts, Mutual

remarks the New York Commercial Ad'
vertiser, for Congress or nybudy else
to grow impatient or restless over the
Maine matter. The country and the

self-restraint and resolution for three
trying weeks, and IL liz highly i'm
probable that either will break out in
petulant excitomont whom the suspense
is nearly over. In few days We shall
know all that is to DO known about the
causs OF the obstruction o. the Maine,
though that may he little enough. This
very uncertainty OF tho report, which
might have provoked public feeling tc
rash outbreak earlier, should now make
for prudence and sanity of judgment in
dealing with it-or. rather, for con
fidencs in thoss qualities in. the Presi
dent and indisposition to emharrasi

denly exclaimed "Say. | know you,

The following editorial comment upon
tho trading stamp nuisance, printed by
the Sussex journal OF Georgetown. is
respectfully referred TO those members
of the Senate who Monday voted to
give life and encouragement to the oh
noxious business: 1.-The trading stamp
business is common nuisance and
should no done away with by appro-
pirate legislation. The Anti Trading
fstamp bill now before the Legislature
should he passed without disaentina
vote. At best the trading STAMP bust
ness is fake; and worst OF oil 1t com.
pela reputable merchants to go into th.
business or lose trade. The best way tc
get rid of n nuisance ia to drive it Out
by appropriate legislation. "
