vass Of 1896 is not heard of in these days
Very little of it was in progress three
years ago either, but none at all is in view
now. Gold is increasing in the United
States much faster than population, and
the United States is by no means the mos

This Week at Keith,a.

Never In the history of vaudeville has
any performer created more of sensation
than has Ching Ling Foo, the Chinese ma
gician. The Emperor of China, in whose
household he was chief entertainer for a
decade, declares that all the magicians
China have produced in thousand years
has not equaled the work of Ching. All
his predecessors most marvellous feats
have been duplicated and tricks not in the
repertoire of any other conluror in the
universe are included IN his performance.
Ii Hung Chang saw the best magicians in
Europe and America, and when he return
ed to China he, declaring that China pos
sessed something the rest of the world
could not rival advised Ching to visit
America. His engagement in Chicago,
where he appeared in several theatres,
lasted fourteen weeks. For seven weeks
his performance at Keith's was the talk of
New York, and during the past six weeks
Keith's big Boston theatre has been crowd
ed nightly. No performance, it is said, is
like another, and people who have studied
his work dozen times know less about
how he does his feats than when they
were first amazed and amused by his per
Torrance. Magicians have been among
the spectators in New York and although
they know the tricks of the trade, they de-
clare that his feats cannot he duplicated
He will be seen for the first time in Phila-
delphia at Keith's this week, and he
will doubtless be the talk of the town be-
fore the week shall be ended. On two
days of the week he will do the fire eat
ing act" His bowl trick is said to be the
most marvellous achievement. Accom-
panying the magician are his wife, their
3-year-old child, and Mrs. Foo's two
brothers. Their act consists of Juggling,
plate spinning, acrobatics, ETC. In Bos-
Ching, it is said that Ching's wife, and
the children were most popular with
women and the youngsters. Robert Down
ing and members of his company will en-
act the arena scene from The Gladiator, I"
an incident which has thrilled theatre
goers everywhere. Laughable specialties
will be presented by Hal Merritt, who was
recently seen at the Girard Avenue Thea
tire in ga Trip to Chinatown" Gotham
Comedy Four, Weeson, Walters and Sim
ons, Boyce and Inman, the Quigley Broth
ers, Canary, jugglers; Four Florences,
acrobats; H. ". Fitzgerald, "The Amer
lean Fregoli; "Gloss Brothers, statuesque
poses; the Levinos, John w. Byrne, comic
instrumenta1ist, will also be among the
specialists. The biograph films will in
clude Princeton's football team, S. S.
Etruria, Yale's best athletes, and the
Columbia-De triel races. The pro
gram should attract the largest audiences
of the year.

1t is stated that the Carnegie Steel Com

made in the history of metal manufac-
lures. It is with the Pressed Steel Car
Company, and is estimated at from 500,
600, 600 to $3.50, 900, 600, to be distributed
over ten years. Business figures have,
during the last year of industrial activity,
run so profusely into the millions, that
such long tails of ciphers don't mean as
much to the Imagination as they did few
years ago.

Ex-senator Butler, of South Carolina,
whose title of leader in his state has never
been impeached or questioned, speaking
as southern Democrat, protests against
the denomination of Bryan on the Chicago
platform. He is reported as declaring
ing that that platform is not, and never
was, a Democratic platform, but was
drafted and adopted by Populists, who
had captured the convention, and the true
Democrats never approved it. although
many of them supported Bryan and the
platform. His denomination would be, in
my opinion, great mistake, and do not
think he would stand chance of being
elected

An encouraging condition in Japan is
the growing appreciation, by both the
Government and the people, of the neces-
sity for further efforts in behalf of educa-
ton. Although a system of education is
paid for out of the public treasury, Japan
does not yet provide popular" educa-
tion as this is understood in the United
States. The payment of fees is required,
and, while these are not large, many of
the people are not able to pay them. At
the last session of the Diet it was shown
in the course of debate in the House of
Peers that of the 7,000,0 900 children of
the school age in Japan, fully 1850, 900
are at present receiving no schooling what
ever, because their parents cannot afford
the fee As yet, however, the Govern
ment does not see its way clear to wholly
abolish the fees, although absolutely free
schools are its aim. In this connection it
win be gratifying to Americans especial
ly to contributing Americans-to learn
that the American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions assists to the extent of it's abilities
and exerts all its influence for popular ed
ucation in Japan. A school in Seoul, the
capital of Corea, was organized some
years ago under the care of certain promi-
nent Japanese Christians through the in
direct influence of the board-and 1t now
attracts much attention and is receiving
the generous support of many of the best
known public men in Japan.

The estimates of the Klondyke gold out
put for this year are from $4,000, 600 to
$40, 100000 This is from $4,000 to
$1,000, 900 more than the calculation Of
one month ago. If the other items in the
total estimate of the gold yield of the
world for 1899, as made few weeks ago
by the London Statist, swell accordingly
it will make an increase of not far from
&75, OOO, 900.
