nuNnER The RED ROBE. .

Under the Red Robe" fresh from its
New York triumphs at the Empire
Theatre, will be the welcome attrac-
tiOn at the Opera House on Thursday,
October u. The company, under the
direction Of julius Calm, is said to be
one of great strength and merit. The
scenery, costumes and general stage
effects will be exact cOunterparts of
those which were somuch admired dur
ing the phenomenal run of this play in
the metropolis, where it drew crowded
houses up to its last performances.
achieving altogether one of the most
brilliant successes ever known in the
theatrical history of New York. This
is one of the fortunate cities selected
by Mr.. Calm to witness this notable
production. Paul Cazeneuve will enact
the leading role. that of Gil de Berault,
a gamester, duelist and swashbuckler.
This manly young actor has distin-
guished himself in many roles at the
leading New York theatres, but in
none has he appeared to such perfect
advantage as in Under the Red Robe. y
Miss Amelia Gardner, an emotional
actress of the first quality, will play
the heroine. The company otherwise
has been selected with great care and
will do ample credit in the production
Of this charming and enhancing play.

LEARNING TO SIGNAL
Troop. Praeiicing Tor Long Dis-
 tanee Msssage work.

Members of Company L, United States regulars, stationed at SIlagway, Captain Hovev commanding. are learning the army signal code, and will soon begin practice of signaling with signal lanterns, several oi which were received last week.
 The code employed is the same as used by the army corps in heiIographing. Capt. Hovey has had much experience in heilo- graph signal work in New Mexico and Arizona, where messages were thus trans mitted from station to station a thousand miles. Ten words a minute were sent after much prastice, but i've were eonSid- cred the maximum for accuracy. Ih' eaptain says his eolored troops became much more adept than those in white reg iments. He has worked large hellograph: s miles.
 The signal lanterns will probably b' tested on the hills about Skagway soon The men are praetieing the code witt wands and during the indictment weathe practice within doors. A signal corps vii likely be formed from among the company after the brightest men at signalling ar aSeertalnei.

 The Dawson News says the American government has been spured by the aetitT of the Canadians, and lt is reasonable tC believe that before another year a eabl' and telegraph line will connect every poln in Northern Alaska along the Yukon as fa down as St. Michael and Cape Nome witt the outer world.

How the Late Caller Was Induced to
 Hurry Away.

This may not be n new way or get ting rid of a persistent caller. but It has certainly not grown stale by appn- cation and has the interest of a recent local occurrence. The fathers business takes him out of town a good deal, and the daughter has a caller with whom there is an understanding that is only the final stage before the en- ragement. The other night the father Ieryed general notice that he must take m early train and must be called for 1t. That same evening came the TOT tunate young man referred to.
 By 10 the old gentleman had the adgets and rapidly reached the conclu' sion that his comfort was n minor con- alteration in that household. This Is not true. but 1t Is a conviction that ire ouently selzes the head of a family when he Is out of sorts. He slammed several doors as a reminder 10 the call CT. He raised the same noisy window three times. and 1t always makes more noise when being lowered. He put out lights wherever they were not an absolute necessity, called to the youn' ger children that It was high time they were asleep and dropped a shoe every three or four minutes with hope that 1t would serve hint.
 When everything else had failed and his patience was about exhausted he went to the top of the stairs and shout ed. Jennie. did or did not tell you to call me at 4:3O. so that could get my tralnT'
