RIOT IN A CHICAGO PLAY HOUSE.

Interior of the Star Theater Badly Dam
aged by Disappointed Audience.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-A riot, in which
1000 men, women and children took
part, occurred yesterday at the Star
theater, and before the police arrived
the interior of the theater had been
badly damaged. Scenery which was to
have been used in the play had been
tied up by legal proceedings, and after
the audience had waited until 4:30 p.
m. for the curtain to go up many began
to clamor for their money. They were
refused at She box Office, and two min
utes afterward chairs were broken in
pieces and hurled at the stage, chandel-
iers were broken, carpets were torn up
and the theater and sidewalk outside
was one mass of fighting, yelling hu-
mainly. The changing of the patrol
wagon bells scattered the crowd in a
hurry, however. Later in the after
noon the money was refunded to those
who presented their coupons.

High Joint Commission Adjourns to
Meet at Quebec August 2.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The Ameri.
cant Canadian joint high commission,
after session yesterday, adjourned to
meet at Quebec August 2, unless the
chairman OF the respective commissions
agree on another date. The commission
first began it's labors near six months
ago, and with the exception Of probably
a month of earnest work, endeavoring
to accomplish the object for which it
was appointed, an agreement looking to
the formation of treaty covering the
many perplexing questions of differ
ences affecting the business interests OF
the United States and Canada. There
are several reasons which prompted the
action taken Yesterday. From state
ment made public with the sanction Of
the two G. omissions it appears there
were serious differences of opinion be-
tween them regarding the important
matter of the delimitation of the Alas
kan boundary, the Canadians in this
connection being anxious to obtain a
seaport ON the Lynn canal, so that its
shippers would not be subjected to the
petty annoyances which they asserted
they experienced at the hands of the
United States officials.

Caribou Concentrating Plant Destroyed
and the Foreman Killed.
TELLURIDE, Colo, Feb. 20.-A tre-
mendous snowslide came down the side
of Yellow mountain about one-quarter
of a mile below the town Of Ophir yes
terday afternoon and killed one man
and practically destroyed the Caribou
concentrating plant. The slide was
plainly visible from the town of Ophir,
and those who saw it say 1t was the
largest they ever witnessed, it ap-
parently being about 100 feet deep and
more than quarter of a mile wide.
The Caribou mill was crushed like an
eggshell. J. G. Vardel, the mill fore
man, was the person killed. A force Of
men is digging for Vardel's body.
Mighty slides have been running all
day on the mountains around Ophir and
the miners are becoming much fright
ened. On two or three small properties
they have refused to work. The sun
has been shining brightly, softening the
snow and causing the slides to run.

GERMAN SToMAcHs.
Manner In which the French Paid the
Indemnity in 1870

Manner In Which the French Paid the
Indemnity In 1870.
The ease with which France paid the
great indemnity exacted by Germany
at the close of the war of 1870 aston
ished the world. The same ability to
discharge a forced obligation was wit
messed at the close of the Napoleonlc
wars, when the allied armies occupied
France. Savarin explains that the ease
was made possibly through gluttony,
which, he says, France alone can thor
oughly satisfy. In 1915, after the
treaty of peace, it was estimated that
that nation in various ways paid to
its conquerors the sum of 1900, 100000
francs. 1t was feared that these forced
payments would bankrupt the coun-
try. Subsequent events proved that
these fears were chimerical. Not only
the original amount assessed against
the French came back to them, but
very much more, through the gluttony
of their vanquishers. The foreign ar
mics that invaded France brought
with them fierce voracity and stom-
achs of uncommon capacity. Once they
had tasted of the delights Of French
food, their ordinary rations were re-
jected, and the great sums Of money
that had come into their possession Of
fered q means for the complete sat-
isfaction of their appetltes. Paris be-
came, on a sudden, an immense refec-
tory. The invaders ate everywhere, in
eating-houses, in cookshops, inns, tav-
ems, drinking dens, and in the streets.
They gorged themselves with flesh,
fish, game, pastries, fruits, and truf-
fies. When they drank it was with
avidity and of the most expensive
wines. The purveyors made fortunes.
One Nine. Sullot, who had a little
shop in the Palais Royal only IL feet
square, sold 10000 petit pates every
day. To the rank and file and most
of the officers of the invading armies
the delights Of French cookery were
revelation. When they returned to
their homes their tales of epicurean
bliss excited their hearers. This led
10 great pll6IluidSO W anu Va Nv
ilian gluttons from all parts of Eu-
rope, and made of Paris gastronomic
Mecca for quarter of century or
more. 1t was estimated that through
this pandering to the stomachs OF
strangers France not only regained the
original amount of the indemnity, but
as much again. That experience, so
far as eating is concerned, can never
be repeated for from 1916 to 1910 the
French cuisine was at its period OF
cumulative achievement. The indem-
nifty exacted in 1870 has been returned
to France mainly through the pur-
chase of decorative equipment by the
women of all nations.-Sun.

Failure Would BE Sure-Revival OF
Cordial Feeling Between England and
Franco Is Progressing by Leaps ard

Considerable mystery prevails as to
the whereabouts of the duke OF Or
leans. From the time of the death or
President FauIe he has been shadowed
day and night by French detectives,
who rendered his life burden to him.
Both the king of Belgium and the king
Of Italy had requested that he should
quit their dominions in consequence OF
his having abused their hospitality by
eonspiring against the French republic
on their territory. Suddenly he turn
ed up the other day at Genoa, en-
barked on steam yacht, which had
been chartered in the name Of one OF
his friends, and left port within half
an hour after his arrival without the
duchess. 1t was rumored that he had
sailed for Palermo, but he has not

may make an attempt to land at some
point on the French coast, either on
the Mediterranean shore, or in Brit
tany, which from time immemorial has
been the part of France where the roy
alist sentiment has remained the
strongest, and which returns most OF
the monarchial members in the cham
Der Of deputies. There is just a pos
sibility that he may be goaded by the
taunts of cowardce which have been
,leveled against him by the French and
foreign press into some such wild at
tempt as that of the widowed Duchess
de Berry, who attempted after the
revolution of 1880 to create rising
in Brittany in behalf Of her son, King
Henry ", who died as the count OF
'Chambord. That attempt ended in
ridicule and disaster So would any
analogous attempt on the part of the
duke of Orleans. Still, the government
has considered it wise to take precau-
lions against anything Of the kind, and
Premier Dupuy has issued instructions
to keep a lookout along the coast for
the pretender, and to arrest him imme-
diately in the event of his attempting
to land.
Meanwhile the revival of cordial
feelings between France and England
appears to be progressing by leaps and
bounds, and it is asserted in political
and administrative circles that the re-
lations are friendlier than they have
been for years. The Frenchmen in
authority have gradually come to rec
ognize that Lord Salisbury handled
the Fashoda incident and the Muscat
affair, into which France was LED
blindfolded by Russia, with a delicate
regard for the sensitive susceptibilities
of Frenchmen.
Nothing that could be construed
into a claim of diplomatic triumph
or that was calculated to humiliate
proud nation. has been found in the
dispatches of Lord Salisbury or in the
speeches which he has delivered in and
out of parliament. The French have
appreciated this, and the pleasant i'm
preston created thereby has been con-
firmed by the visit Of Queen victoria
and the members of her family.

The Princes Defence.

Prince Louis Esterhazy, military at
tache of the Austrian embassy at Lon
don, was recently travelling alone on
an English railway when an elegantly
dressed woman entered the carriage.
Presently she dropped her handker-
chief and employed other expedients
to start a conversation, but without
avail, for the prince TRANQUILITY smoked
his cigar and took no notice of her.
At last, as the train approached sta
ton, the woman suddenly tore her
hat from her head, disheveled her hair,
and, as the train came to standstill,
put her head out of the window and
shrieked for assistance, The railroad
officials hurried to the scene, and to
them the woman asserted that she had
been terribly insulted by the prince.
The prince did not stir from his seat,
but continued TRANQUILITY smoking his
cigar and the stationmaster exclaim-
ed: What have you got to say to the
charger" Without the slightest ap-
pearance of concern the prince, who
was seated in the further corner of the
carriage, replied: "Only this" and with
that he pointed to the cigar which
showed a beautiful gray ash consider
ably over an inch in length. The sta
tion-master was wise in his generation,
and on perceiving the ash in the
princes cigar, he touched his hat, said
quietly. That's all right, sir" and ar
rested the woman acknowledgements

Warsaw Barra ckS.

The barracks at Warsaw, erected by
the Russian czars to hold in check the
unruly Poles, are by far the most spa
cious in the world. The guns in the
walls facing the city could easily lev
ell the capital of Old Poland to the
ground, while the garrison maintained,
numbering nearly 10000 troops, could
overawe any rebellion, unless the con-
spirators had aid from outside. The
barracks cover some 5000 acres in the
highest portion of the suburbs. The
barracks at Aldershot, England, are
the second largest in the world, hav-
ing accommodations for 10000 troops,
and covering 1000 acres. The Cur
ragh Barracks at Kildare, in Ireland,
are in 10 squares, each of which has
sufficient space for an entire regiment
and its officers.

White House Reception.
The public reception at the White
House which occurred recently has
been humorously designated the ma
tional cake walk" Some OF the scenes
were difficult to witness without at
least a smile. Mrs Hobart showed her
womanly heart and good nature by
shaking hands with everybody who
came, even to the man who carried two
umbrellas in his left hand so that his
right should be free TO shake with the
president. Another customer carried
pair of muddy overshoes in his hands
and left line of mud on the gowns OF
the women standing in line while he
uneonsciously passed them by. 1t was
almost rag time" that the last callers
were obliged to take, as the two hands
were playing and the ushers were hur-
rying them with all speed to end the
reception at II o'clock. Many of the
men wore overcoats buttoned about
their threats, and most of the women
drifted down the line or the receiving
party making audible comments on the
appearance of the official party. At
the end of the line stood Miss Wilson,
the pretty and accomplished daughter
of the secretary of agriculture. Just
as she reached Miss Wilson one inter-
ested matron stopped still, looking up
the receiving line critically, and then
announced loudly: well, you're a
pretty good looking lot, after all"
The commentator was so cordial and
so frank that no one took offense and
the reception continued. They say
President Mckinley gets more real
satisfaction out of the public recep-
lions than from the more formal and
elegant card functions at the White
House.
