BETWEEN THE ACTS.
In Chicago lees Are Served In the
Theatres

One of Chicago's c.everest women has
recently introduced an innovation into one
of the theatres of that city that is bring
ing delightful little thrill Of do. lars in
her pocketbook, as we'll as the larger thrill
that always goes with the idea of success
in any undertaking. She achieved it by
the introduction of charming service of
ice cream and fruit punches during the
entr' acts OF the performance. 1t is SO
managed that IL rather adds to than de-
tracts from the aesthetic quality of the
entertainment. A limited number OF pret
ty girls in violet cashmere gowns. sheer
white muslin aprons. coming nearly TO the
knees. and fuffsd into butterfly effects at
the shoulders. with Alsatian bows Of
white satin ribbon on their heads, pass
quietly down the aisles.. bearing silver
trays upon which are daintily arranged
champagne glasses or creams and ICES.
These are not only OF delicious quality
but are of pretty and contrasting tin 5
and grouped with some idea as to their
color effects. Projecting from either side
of the glasses are thin, triangular pieces
of cake, also In delicate tints which add
TO the decorative character OF the en-
semble. while providing delicious ac-
compartment for the ices,
This charming service is not only an
innovation in the theatre into which il has
been introduced, but is new in Chicago,
and quite unknown in other cities Of Amer
lea. More than thirty years ago the Gus
tom Of serving some 'refreshment was in
trodUced into the theatres of Paris. and
was found to add SO much to the general
dash. sparkle. and brillancy of the occa-
sion. that il has never been abandoned
there: and today one can scarcely enter
French theatre without having his
palate-likewise his pocketbook-tempted
by some delicate Wand protfered by chic
demoselle. England and Germany soon
followed in the wake of Paris. although
their service lacks something of the light
ness and grace that so invariably char
acterizes French methods. The English
are rather inclined to adhere to their
national beverage, tea, when at the
theatre
From the way that this new departure
has been received in Chicago. it would
really seem to have met a long felt want.

CRIME OF AN ANGRY HUSBAND.
Shots Fired nt His Wife hill "A Babe
and Its Mother.

CAMDEN, n. j.. Nov 22.-With bullet
meant for his wife, James Baxter shot and
killed the baby of Mrs. Jerry Ryan after
the missile passed entirely through her
body as she tried, with mother love, to
shield her little one, from a fusillade fired
by Baxter at his wife. Three bullets iired
by Baxter hit Mrs. Ryan in the neck,
shoulder. and body. one went wild, and
the last wounded Ryan. the woman's hus-
band in the left arm as he grappled with
Baxter. Mrs Baxter is fatally wounded
lnfuriated at the sight of his baby lying
dead on the floor and his wife beside the
little one bleeding from her wounds. Ryan
grappled with Baxter as he tried TO escape.
In spite of his wounded arm, Ryan knocked
Baxter's head against. the walls and floor
trying to batter out his brains, and neigh
bors, attracted by the shots, had all they
could do to restrain him.

escaped unhurt. She had left her husband.

THE RELIEF FOR SOLDIERS.
A Formal Report on the Work of thu
District Committee.

The report of the committee appointed
by the Commissioners for the reception and
relief of the soldiers of the District Vol
unteer Regiment, when they returned from
Cuba last year. was submitted to the Com
missioners this morning by Chairman
Richard Sylvester. A statement from John
Joy Edison, chairman of the finance COM
mittee. was included in the report of Ma
jor Sylvester also a report from Miss Cor
nelia Clay the treasurer of the suboom-
mittee on relief.
The report is simply statement OF the
Ia nner in which the regiment was receiv-
ed, and the relief afforded the various
members. all of which has heretofore been
published.
Major sylvester bestows great praise upon
those who assisted him. and states that 1t
is to their untiring efforts that the sue
cess of the affair was due. The citizens of
the District were very generous with their
purses the report states, and the chairman
of the committee desires TO thank everyone
concerned for their donations.
The sudden death of Mrs. Francis W.
Dickins. who was the head of the relief
committee is referred to by Major Sylves-
ter and Miss Clay. They state that the
success of the work of this committee was
due entirely to the heroic efforts of its di-
rectoress.
The evening times., 1899-11-22

There was a repetition this morning of
the inactivity and general slowness OF yes
rerday's market. Prices for the first hour
showed slight disposition TO advance at
times. but the net result of the operations
was very small in either direction. The
maj ket was best described as a proies-
sional afIair entirely. London continued a
purchaser in 4 small way. but its opera
tions had little effect on this side. Money
was loaning on coal around per cent, and
there seemed little prospect of yesterday S
afternoon caif-rate furry. The talk was
also hopeful regarding the bank statement,
and with good reason. as the banks have
undoubtedly recsiyed large sums from the
sale Of bonds 10 the Government. The
amount OF cash so far paid out by the Gov
ernment is nearly, II not quite, SO, 000, 600,
and the larger part of this will find it's
way into the New York banks. II is seen
that the conditions are all favorable 10 q
strong market, but as yet the public or
the large operators mold back. Perhaps
important people are afraid still that 100
bloyant a marhet would precipitate an I'M
mense public demand for securities that
would be disastrous TO an orderly and
steady advance. Everything points 10 the
afvisability Of buying stocks on the weak
spots.

tFFOth tnt Noidht.I
The Central New England road removed
about six hundred tons Of dangerous rocks
In Satan's Kingdom Sunday. This section
is about two miles this side Of New Hart
ford. and it is very wild. There is just
room enough for the tracks OF the Central
New England and the Northampton roads
and the Pennington River, and the bed
of the river is filled with rocks. s 1t is the
widest spot on the line. About two
months ago trackman discovered a bowl
der on the track that had become cis-
lodged from the overhanging cliffs. If the
trackman had not been attending to his
business there would have been a terrible
accident. The frost had caused masses of
rock to become dislodged, and there were
gaps Of six inches in some OF the places
Sunday the Central New England 'oad
had a gang of one hundred men working
at the place to remove all the rock that
was liable to fall During the week holes
were drilled Tor dynamite. The most agile
men scaled the cliff and barred out all the
pieces that were loose enough They calm
bered over the cliff in all directions, held
oy ropes let down from above, and some
who were lbs feet below them watching
the work had the shivers. The rocks that
had been loosened and could not be re-
moved with bars were rent asunder by
dynamite. The largest rock that came
down weighed about one hundred tons.
and its length was 25 feet. When this
stone came down the noise could be heard
a mile away. The tracks had been taken
up and old rails put down for the day, as
1t was necessary to remove the rock as
fast as it came down. Some OF the large
pieces broke the rails Satan's Kingdom is
now safe from any of the overhangins
rocks. as all the rocks that were in any
degree dangerous have been removed It
is the first time that rocks have been re-
moved from a clif aion6 the road since
the road was built.
