The American Drama.

The recent agitation regarding
the importation of foreign play has
had a favorable result in the pro-
duction of typical American play
by those up to-date young mana
gers, Jossey & Marvin. The play,
the title of which is THE Signal
of Liberty" deals with the recent
war, the principal scenes being the
battleship Maine entering Havans
harbor, the gunboat Wilmington
in action, the explosion and wreck
of the Maine, and sinking of the
Merrimac by Hobson, and the des-
truction of Cervera's feet, coupled
with drama of absorbing interest
bids fair to be an irresistible at.

Careless Christians.

About nine O'Clock last night
parties living near the Christian
church noticed sparks of fire fall
ing copiously on the roof of that
building and apparently coming
from about the fiue. The church
door was opened and upon investi-
CATION it was found that the fiue
was ablaze. Parties who had been
in the church had left the stove
full of coal, aud the stove door
open. The stove was red hot and
the fiue burning furiously gave
q dangerous aspect to the sur
roundings. While 60 particular
harm has arisen from this it might
be well to guard apaint such care
lessress in the future.

increased to 50 per cent; from rs to

chances of an unmarried woman sink
to 81 per cent from 40 to 45 a still
further diminution is seen, her chance
being but q. From As to 30 the old
maids chance of getting husband is
but three-eighths of / per cent, while

but one-quarter Of l per cent Of a

RRIGNs WITHOUT WOMEN.
Barren Land Where Masculine Will
Rules Supreme.

Rules Supreme.
There is at least one tiny section OF
the globe where women are conspicu-
ously absent from society and where
man reigns supreme, undisturbed by
the vagaries and caprices of even a sim
gle woman's will.
There is only one territory of any
slze-and never has been but one-oc-
cupied by any considerable population
from which women is absolutely ex-
cluded. Yet such place exists today
and has existed for centuries. As far
back as history reaches to all females
it has been forbidden ground. This
country without women is situated on
bold plateau between the old penin-
sula OF Acte, in the Grecian archipela-
go, and the mainland. Here in the
midst Of the cultivated fields and ex-
tenslve woodlands dwells monastic
confederation of Greek Christians,
with twenty-three converts and num-
bering more than 1000 souls. Not
one OF the monastories dates from a
later time than ths twelfth century.
A few soldiers guard the borders of
this land, and no woman is allowed to
cross the frontier. Nor is this all; the
rule is extended to every female Great
ure. and from time immemorial no
cow, mare, hen, duck or goose has
been permitted to enter this territory,
