The Richards & Pringles-Rusco & Hollands big minstrel companies appeared at the opera house here Friday evening, and judging from the large attendance the saying "a little nonsense now and then IS rel ished by the wisest men" was fully demonstrated on this occasion. Dan Avery and Billy Kersands are the whole show. The specialtles intro- duced were very ereditable. Some of the jokes were so old they had full grown boards, and when one of the comedians opened his mouth to "crack" joke, you could see moss splouting on his tongue. The Jap anese acrobats and Harry Fidler, the mimic, deserve special mention for their clever work.

doing this he is shot at by a warder ano

One particular night the drama had run
its usual course up to the point where the
actor attempts the escape over tho prison

rife, but instead of "a loud report nothing
but faint clicking sound was heard. The
rifle was lowered and after brief delay
again pointed, but with the same disap

Cleveland as n Saint.

An interesting story is told by Professor
Dean c. Worcester of Michigan university,
who has just been appointed by President
Mckinley as one of the members Of the
Philippine commission. He has made sew
eral tours through the Philippines and in
one OF his books relates that native Of
the islands begged from him "a copy Of
Judge containing cartoon of ex Presi-
dent Cleveland, portraying him in the
garb Of friar, with tin halo supported
by an upright from the back of his collar
Mr.. Cleveland was represented in an atti-
tude of devotion, with hands clasped and
tears rolling down his cheeks
Professor Worcester did not understand
why the Filipino begged so earnestly for
the colored print, but after returning from
hunting expedition Of few days the
matter was explained. He found the car
toon of the ex-ptesident hung at one end
of the hut in a neat bamboo frame and in
the evening the flasher, mother and all the
children fell on their knees and offered

speCtivo of battlefield experience, wa
demonstrated III the crisis then before
the Sixth, standing alone on San Juan
hill. The colonel says that in ten min
utes one uarter of his men went down.
The two center companies lost their
captains and lieutenant each. "Iet
no one finched, says Colonel Egbert,
'and all kept steadily firing without
any thought OF stopping until the or
der should come. " Seeing, az he says,
that the force of Spaniards intrenched
upon the hill was entirely too strong
for the Sixth, and that prolonged con
test againS the heavy odds would re-
suit in the destruction of the regiment,
he went along the line and quietly told
the company commanders to move by
the flank back to the road. This was
carried ont in excellent order, the men
taking the dead and wounded with
them. Soon after the Sixth resumed its
place along the road the Sixteenth
formed on its left and then there were
two regiments confronting the fort.
From this position fire was kept up I'M

movements will recognize the system

The FiEhting MachInist.

One lesson which tho Spanish American
war has thoroughly taught is tho vital
Importance to n nation which would have
an efficient navy of the fostering Of tho
mechanical instinct. Americans may be
proud of being IA nation Of mechanics, and
] attribute the overwhelming victories
over the Spanards largely to this fact and
the absolute lack of any mechanical apti-
tude on the part Of the opponents. The
utter failure of Cervera's fast armored
cruisers, which bad trial speeds of 90
knots, to escape from the United States
vessels Mt Santiago none of which was
making II, shows the disastrous results
of Encouragement Of the mechanic AS
we now know, the condition of the two
fastest ships ut Santiago, the New York
and Brooklyn, WAS such that only halt
power could be used Immediately, and II
seems almost certain that had Cervera A,
ships been able to make their maximum
