Swimming
A Paving Business.

San Francisco Bulletin: There is no singer in the world who can draw more than a $12,0O0 house. There is no ora tor who can much raise the S1 admis- sion fee without exposing himself to the danger of speaking to empty benches. If the four most popular de- baters selected by popular vote would advertise q discussion on any question of the day they would be fortunate if an audience could be gathered which would net each $1 ,000. Yet it is stated that there was $8O,000 in the box office of the Coney Island Clubhouse on the night when Robert Fitzsimmons and James Jeffries met to see which could punch the other harder. and which could stand the most punishment. The best of any class of performers always represents money value, but the best fighter carries off the largest prize.

WITH THE FUN MAKER.

Every time doctor collects a fee hs adds to his ill-gotten gains.
 If you see a man walking cut of the house with an umbrella under his arm, that doesn't mean storm, necessarily" Well, if it's my umbrella he's walking out with, it does.
 Questionable Guest-Waiter, I am in a great hurry, and would like to know what there is that you would require the least time to bring me? Waiter We'll, dunno, sir, unless it might be y'or bill, sir!

THE JAP PLAYERS.
SCENERY IS STRIKING; cOs-
 TUNES ARE SPLENDID.
Plays Are PrImitIve-Humor Is Ex- pressed by Flip FIops. Heroics by Blind staggels, and Pathos by Much
 Shutting.

In the California theater. San Fran cisco, the other night, Otto Kawakami and Mime. Yacco and their company of rising Japanese actors and ao tresses'' appeared for the first time in America, in no less than four different pieces. At first sight and sound the native Japanese drama is rather a diff hcult problem. Its tragedy does not make serious dent in the American auditor, and it's comedy does not strike him as the most joyous thing in the world. The Japanese actor, one finds, expresses pathos though his nose; be- roles, in blind staggers, and humor in acrobatic dip-faps. He snuf1es when he is saddest. And as there was a great deal of sadness in the first two pieces presented last night, there was deal of snuf1ing. Our Japanese townfolk filled the gallery and seemed to find delight in these nasal special ties, but the people downstairs didn't appear to know just how to take them. The plays are chiIdishly primitive and with the aid of the arguments" print ed in the programme, quite intelligible. The first one, "The Duel" displays beautiful scenery and costumes and diverting sword fight. The second, "Kosunoki," is full of fights, during which the actors employ themselves in many realistic tumbles from a pile of stage rocks some fifteen feet in height. Hypnotism also seems to have place in this piece as one mo- tices that many Japs fall down van quished at the mere glance of the hot eyed hero. The most interesting in plot is ''The Temjye of Dojoji," which Is built around the Japanese legend of the bell in which the lovers hide and are cremated by the jealous womans wrath. In this Mime. Yacco, who i'm personates the vengeful rival, executes dance that is full of unique steps and poses. The performance closes wit. what Is archly entitled Dewey Day Celebration on the Pine Fringed Shores of Miho. Here the Geisha dances are introduced with pleasing result. An other diversion that comes earlier in the programme is a song, accompanied by the characteristic Japanese instru- ment, the shamisen. The song itself Is long-voiced falsetto and painful to the ears, but the accompaniment is in- teresting from technical standpoint at least. Cut to practical proportions, this Japanese show ought to have a curious interest tor all play-goers. But in its present shape the Jap auditors seem to have most of the fun. As a picture, 1t is well worth taking in, the scenery is striking and the costumes are splendid. It is quite like an anl- mated Japanese screen.

An ChhA ,py Name.

remember hearing the following story from the late Canon Bardslev
 author of English Names and Sur- names" There was once a woman "a little 'crackey,' l think" said the canon, by way of parenthesis-who hae son whom she had cbristened What" Her idea seems to have b-an that when in after days he was asksd his name, and kept saying What. 'S amusing scenes would follow. which vas likely enough, especially if the boy was careful to pronounce the as. pirate. Such a scene did, I believe. occur once when he went to school. and was told, as a newcomer, to stand up and furnish certain particulars. What is your name?" asked the teacher. What" blurted out the boy. amid the laughter of the class. What Is your name?" asked the master again, with more emphasis. What, ~- replied the boy. Your name, sire roared back the infuriated pedagogues. What, What!" roared back the terFa~ fed urchin. The sequel I forget, hns. ! believe it one of those cases in whIe2s the follies of the parents are visited oEb the children of the first generation Notes and Queries.
