Figaro has Berlin letter in which
is found this analysis of the German
kaiser's theatrical taste-or want of it:
The emperor has a profound respect
for the German classics, although he
finds Goethe little too caustic. The
artist revolutionary, Goethe little too
nlympian and Lessing little too caus-
tic. The artist emperor doesn't enjoy
the works Of Ibsen, and has a horror
for Hauptmann's "Weavcrs." He de-
clared that he would never enter the
German theater as long as that play

plays Of Dumas fills disquiet him, he
finds them too audacious and paradox

that he would like to ser her play, he
struck out lie Demi- Monde" because
it might frighten the delicate modesty
OF the court ladies. The plays that
William prefers are those OF Joseph

The late ". G. Wills, the playwright,
though lavish of money when he had
it, hated parting with it in any formal
way. When a friend. to whom he owed

their attendants with them, but these
poor unfortunates are not permitted TO
share in the fun, for they are compelled
to sit on the floor behind their mis-
tresses. The tinkling of bell out
side during the performance is the sig
nal for the play to stop to enable all
present, actors included, to kneel down
and cross themselves. The tinkling
bell means that a procession of priests
is passing to administer the holy sacra-
ment to a dying man. All Cuban the

I.iGhtest of All Liquids,

Additional experiments by Professor
Dewar have shown that liquid hydro
gen is by far the lightest of all known
liquids. It's density is one-fourteenth
that of w~ter, and, curiously enough,
this happens to be the same ratio of
density that hydrogen in the gaseous
state bears to air. Heretofore the

THE MARKETS.


New York, Dec. 22.-The market con-
tinued today its upward movement on
q tremendous volume of business, sec
ond only to the record made one day
last week. London traded both ways,
her purchases and sales being larger
than for a long time. Realizing sales
by certain large interests, although
causing a reactory movement early In
the day, seemed to have been well
taken considering their volume. The
evidence of scale buying and conspic-
uous purchases by two powerful In
terests resulted in an almost buoyant
tone before noon. There was covering
of shorts who have expected a reac-
ton which failed to appear to any eX-
tent thus far because of the large alb
sorption of securities by the public.
There was pronounced strength in the
grangers.
The movement in these and other
standard dividend paying stocks had a
healthful influence elsewhere, where
bull leaders were successful in stimu-
lating the movement. Federal steel
continued it's advance, the common ris-
ing 8 points on the favorable trade
situation and the belief that powertul
interests were supporting the stoCh'

Dinner was just finished and several
English officers were sitting around the
table. The conversation had not been
animated and there came a lull, as the
night was too hot for small talk. The
major of the regiment, a clean-cu man
Of fifty-fve, turned toward his next
neighbor at the table, a young subal-
tern, who was leaning back in his chair
with his hands Clasped behind his head
staring through the cigar smoke at the
ceiling. The major was slowly looking
the man over, from his handsome face
down, when with sudden alertness and
in quiet, steady voice, he said: Don't

To try an experiment with you. Don't

replied the suhaltern, without even
turning his eyes hadn't the least idea
Of moving, assure you! What's the
game?' By this time all the others
were listening in a lazily eXpectant
way. "Do you think" continued the
majOr--and his voice trembled Just a
lttle-"that you can keep absolutely
still for, say. two minutes--to save your
lile?' Are you jOking?" ION the con-

Vaudeville at the Gaiety.

The Bruins and Nina Vaudeville COM
pany, at the Gaiety during the balance
of the week, gave very amusing en-
tertainments yesterday afternoon and
evening. The star feature of the per-
formance is undoubtedly the spirit
cabinet act in which Prince Baldeano
and his lady assistant reproduce the
well known manifestations by which
spiritualists have been enabled to my
stify the public for nearly a half a
century.
Baldeano, performs "a trick which
the Baldwins pretended to explain, with
skill that is astonishing and if he
chose to attribute the manifestations
to spirits he doubtless would be able
to find many believers about the coun-
try. His act with the committee of
investigation selected from the audi
ence was extremely funny as well as
Ipuzzling. Nina, the electric picture
dancer, gave novel turn by the aid
of electricians and VoCalists and the
other vaudeville features were good.

The Herrmanns at the Lyceum.

The Hermanns, Adelaide and Leon,
will appear at the LyCeum Monday,
matinee and night, in their famous en-
tertainment of magic, music and
dances. The present season many new
and novel feats Of legerdermain have
been added to the performance. This
IS in keeping with the entertainments
which have horne the name of Her
mann, which have always proven a
novelty, and have not followed the
beaten paths for lack of originality and
inventive creation. Probably the most
interesting OF the many new things to
be seen will be that of the beautiful
Adelaide Hermann performing the
feats and miracles OF the Orient. She
will appear in an adt entitled "A
Night in Japan" dressed in magnifi-
cent Japanese gown and will present a
number of new and startling bits of
legerdermain. notably The Horn of
Plenty" Feathers without Birds" "
