The Sporting Duchess

Meodrama has always had a great hold
on the affections of theater patrons. It's
stirring scenes and strong situations en-
livened as they are by comedy, which is al
ways one of the component parts of such
a performance, seem to appeal strongly to
the feelings of the average theater patron.
"The Sporting Duchess the play that is
to- be at O'Brien's opera house is said to
be. an unusually strong play, embracing all
the elements necessary to constitute sue
cessful melodrama. Judging by its success
in the large Cities it must certainly be a
strong play.

change Of base. lie calls the ham
mock his annual pass, and is now using
the tenth Of the series. The trap is
made of heavy canvas strung on a
couple Of strong iron bars, fitted with
hooks on the ends These hooks are
fastened to the supporting bars of a
box car or sleeper, and the traveller is
secure inside the hammock.
Cooper says that it was ten years ago,
while stranded in Denver, Col, that he
devised the hammock which he has sue
cessfully used ever since. His first at
tempt was on the night Of April 10, 1889,
when he took his hammock two miles
east of Denver and patiently waited at
the junction Of the Kansas Pacific &
Cheyenne division Of the Union Pacific
railway for an eastbound train. In or
der not to arouse the suspicion Of those
whom he might meet he wore pair Of
blue overals, a blue frock and a cap
so as to have the appearance of an or
dinary car inspector. The scheme
proved so successful that since that
time he has Travelled through 30 states
and skinned over 100000 miles Of rail-
road without knowing what it is to pay
car fare.
As a protection from dust, gravel
and wind the hammock las a cover
which Cooper can draw over him.. He
rides more comfortably on Pullman
car than box car, for the reason that
a Pullman car is wider and allows him
to be in his hammock at full length.
Under box car he is compelled TO ride
in a sitting posture. Railroad men sell
dom interfere with him, as he causes
no trouble. Besides this, his appear
anct is that of a typical railroader, and
as he travels almost exclusively after
night he is seldom detected.
Contrary to the general run Of the
knights of the box car, Railroad Jack
has good habits and aspires to be some
thing better. He neither smokes nor
chews and leads this life, no doubt, for
the same philosophical reasons which
prompted Diogenes TO select a wash
tub as place Of residence. 1t is his
present intention to gather data and in
a short time write a book Of his life. He
is now "a years old, and his mysterious
ways make him an object of interest
At Detroit he has a house built on
wheels. where he resides, and 1t is
called the house that Jack built.

RsouLAR EXODUS.
Of Moharametians Has Set Tn from the
 Island of Crete

Of Mohammedans Has Set Tn from the
 Island Of Crete.
 A regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in. and, as there seems to be no way of stopping it, it is believed that the Porte will soon make virtue of necessity and pass the word for all true Mussulmans to quit the island. Although large sums of money have been distributed at Can dia among those willing to stay be- sides free gifts of timber for the re- construction of their houses, boats con tinue to leave crowded with emigrants. The news of Prince Georges visit to Candia only gave fresh stimulus to the exodus, and, at latest accounts. the prospect was that the whole Mussul- man population would soon be gone. The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England of being principally to blame, since she. of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would he safeguarded. It is not denied that England has endeav- 0reu, III d certain measure, to fulhII her promises, but, as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin- habitable for Moslems, it is practical ly impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain. It is gen orally admitted that each family is worth a considerable sum per annum to the island in taxes and industry, but the Christians. having obtained the upper hand, are resolved to pursue their advantage to the uttermost, and to drive all Moslems out of the coun- try, so far as it lies within their power to do so. This is, at all events. an ef- fectivelway of putting an end to relig- ious differences.

It requires considerable amount ef philosophy when one Is shivering with cold, to take comfort from the fact that this is natures own method of keeping a form of exercise in which the muscles instead of doing their or dinaTy work under the control of the will, are made to execute involuntarily, series of slight but rapid contrac- tions. This has the same effect as any other kind of muscular work in mak- ing the fires of the body turn more rapidly and throw out greater heat. The unpleasantness of the process is meant. no doubt, as hint to the own or of the body to take more effective means of warming himself.
