ADMIRAL MoNToJo,s COAT.
Relic of the Late War Exhibited at
Palo Alto.

PALO ALTO, July 16.-Palo Alto now
has an interesting relic of the late war
with Spain. 1t is the full-dress coat of
Admiral Montojo, commander of the
Spanish fleet at Manila The coat is par
ticularly interesting because it was worn
by the admiral at a reception given the
night before the battle. This reception
calls sharply to mind the grand ball at
Brussels Just before the battle OF
Waterloo, only in the modern instance it
was the conquered and not the conquerors
who spent the night in revelry.
The coat is made of the finest black
broadcloth and is elegantly trimmed with
gold braid an inch and one-quarter wide
and gold shoulder straps, and is lined
and faced with handsome red flannel O..

Defends Christian Science.

STOCKTON, July 16.-Frank j. Ryan, a
veteran journalist, who for twelve years
was editor of the Independent, has writ
ten book in defense of Christian Sci
ence. The work is a direct answer to the
various pulpit attacks made of late upon
Mrs. Eddy and her followers. Mr.. RYAN
takes the ground that nearly all of the
great Protestant leaders, past and pres
ent have believed in the system in one
form or another, and that it is only the
lesser lights who seek to cast odium upon
It. The author quotes literally from diff
ferent theological writer's in support of
his position.

hero and heroine, whose future we'll
being he is trying to destroy. In the
town hall there was little if any prop-
erty material. A barrel would do to
conceal himself in, so hired hand"
WAS sent out to find one. He succeeded.
The time came for the actor to do his
part He slipped in the barrel with
case. The man and the woman ap-
peared, and wh2e they were in the
midst of an animated conversation
there came howl from the barrel that
falrly shook the rafters. This was fol-
lowed by the eavesdropper crawling
cut with his hands to his face, and
he in turn was followed by swarm of
wasps. The wasps got among the stage
people and then among the audience,
which created so much confusion that
the show was broken up.

DECEIVING APPEARANCES.
Ii Is Not True In Every Case That

enough Irish in him to cause a dislike

clothes passed along the lobby.

porter.

westerner. I'm not judging as much

in Nice enjoying the Riviera winter

He didn't seem to catch on to anybody
for day or two, but the second or third
evening | came across him in little
place around the corner where they
kept good American whisky and where
us Yankees used to gather of evenings.
He was talking to somebody or other,
and in the course of his remarks he
jumped onto the English good and hard
for something they had been doing at
the time in Africa or Asia or some place
or other where the sun never sets. and
| naturally went up and told him good

INITIATE ANIMALS.
Who Are Never Seen by
the Public.

From the beginning of the drama an
imals have been introduced in PLAYS.
and represented ON the stage by ae-
tors especially trained for such parts,
although few players care to assume
these characters, which are at best ae-
robatic. In "rhe Frogs" of Aris-
tophanes an ass is one of the leading
features, and in The Wasps" two dogs
play important parts, as one is the ac-
cuser and the other the defendant in
contest over piece of stolen cheese.
Racine has quarrel between two dogs
for the possession of a duck in one of
his plays. The ass figures in many of
the miracle plays, and is also intro
dueed in some of the earliest English
dramas, being an element of fun that
was dear to the playwrights of the time
There is a bear in "Siegfried," which
does not call for a great exhibition of
histrionie power, but the most famous
stage animal is probably the dog that
caused Goethe's retirement from the
direction of the theater at Weimar. In
play that was to be produced there
dog had to identify his masters muir
derer by leaping at his throat in court.
The poet and the grand duke of Weimar
disagreed over this episode, dispute
followed and the result was the for
mer's retirement. Whenever monkey,
cat or dog is required the actor must
be man of extraordinary agility, and
the few players who take such parts
to-day make speciality OF them and
build their regulations on the faithful
ness with which they can impersonate
Some humble animal.
One of the most famous actors of this
kind was NJ. Grouffe, who was known
as the man monkey" and was very
popular in this character. His real
name was Golf, and he was a cockney
who had been pot boy in an alehouse.
He made his first appearance in this
country at the fremont theater in Bos-
ton on November 20, 1881, in the two
act melodrama of Jack Robinson and
His Monkey" playing Mushapug, the
monkey. This piece held the stage for
many years, with Gouffe as the star, his
wife sometimes acting with him as the
heroine. The scene of the play is laid
ca an island, where Jack Robinson. a
sailor, has been shipwrecked, and the
monkey has an excellent opportunity
TO show his mischievous spirit by cut
ting down the corn and flowers which
the poor fellow has planted near his
hut. The sailor swears to kill the ape,
but is prevented by Emmelina, a girl
who was saved from the wrecked ship.
The monkey thereafter deyotes himself
to her and to his master, and the piece
proves to be one of the most exciting
character, with an attempted murder,
a mutiny and broadsword combat, in
terspersed with tricks by Mushapug,
who finally is shown as the good genius
of the play, and saves all the. various
characters, while the mutineers are de-
stroyed.-Boston Transcript

GENEROUS EsQUIMAUx.
All the Game Captured by Hunter
Is Equally Divided Among His
Neighbors.
afternoon

Lieut.. Peary tells very interesting
story about little band of Esquimaux
who live on the west coast Of Greenland
between Melville bay and Kane basin.
These are the most notherly human be-
ngs on the face of the globe, and in
many ways they live almost like ami
mails. Their only property is clothing,
weapons for the chase and food, which
consists entirely of meat, blubber and
blood.
They have no vegetation of any kind,
and not even a pinch of salt Lieut..
peary has this to say about these queer
little people: ''Is it to be wondered
at that under these circumstances a
man offered me his dogs and sleds and
all his furs for piece of board as long
as himself; that another offered me
i;is wife and two children for a shining
knife, and that woman offered me all
her possessions, which she had collect
ed Cor years, for neeHe?"
These peopleta are very generous, and
all the game captured by a hunter
is equally divided among all his neigh
bors. They have their own kind of ath-
letic entertainment, too, which includes
wrestling, boxing and tests Of strength
in the lifting of heavy stones.
