DOORWAYS IN CHINA.
Pleasing Use Blade of Many Forms That Arc Strange to Vest
 Ideas.

It is doubtful if the average reader knows certain interesting facts about the doors of the celestial kingdom-to speak literally, and not in metaphor. In China these are often round, leaf shaped or semicircular. In placing them the builder usually avoids having one opposite another, lest evil spirits find their way from the street into the recesses of the building. The docr- ways separating the courts of garden are usually of an elaborate kind, and the octagonal form is one of the most popular, says the New York Tribune.
 Religious superstition asserts itself in Chinese architecture, and the uni versal sacredness of the numerals and g is shown in the arrangement of temple doors. There is triple gate way to each of the halls of the impe- rial palace, and the same order prevails at the Ming tombs, and the sacred per- son of the emperor, when he was in his Peking home, could only be ap- preached, even by the highest officials, after three times three prostrations The Temple of Heaven has a triple roof, triple marble staircase, and all its mystic symbolism points eitber to three or its multiples.

'the ends were cared for very accepta- ply by Messrs Harrington, Mitchell, BeIknap, Dove, Corrigan and LaRue. Hi Henry himself directed the music, which fact alone attested the worth of the performance. The solos, duets and quartettes were in efficient hands and the songs were also new and the voices blended musically and beauti- fully. Hi Henry in cornet solos and his excellent band musicians created much favorable comment. The vaude- vile features of the entertainment were also good. Perhaps the one which created the greatest interest was the work of J. 4. PrObSt, called the human song bird. His remarkable limitations of all kinds of birds created much in- tereSt and won for this artist very generous applause. Corrigan and Dove gave a very pleasing dance act. Beiknap, the clay modeler, introduced something novel in this city ana his work of modelling figures was a treat. Mitchell and Marron gave very amusing and interesting comic duet. The program concluded with some of the best acrobatic feats seen here in any season, by the Couture brothers. Some of their feats were really mar VelouS

1.-THE SOLDIERS OUEEN.~

Miss Josephine Sabel in ''The Sol diers~ Queen should prove fine at traction at Polls this evening. She will certainly give a capital comedy performance. for her long time promi- hence in the bills at Roster X Biaf $ New York theater proved a singing comedienne of brilliant parts. It was she who first made prominent "A Hot Time In the Old -Town,'' bringing it out at Roster x Bial'S. Miss Sabel, however, is not the only conspicuous feature of ''The Soldiers Queen" as she is forced to divide attention with Schilzonyi's Hungarian Boys Military band. This organization is made up of midgets who are actually in many cases smaller than the instruments they play upon. but it has won q world wide reputation for marvellous musical skill and excellence. To hear these midgetS play 0ne> wonders whence comes their extraordinary musical skill, and it is at once credited to na- tive genius. ",The Soldiers Queen" should draw out lovers of fun in large numbers. Prices are p, 35, 50, 70 cents and $1.

serving the record. The detectives last night obliterated portion of this rec ord, but they have left traces enough for our purpose. If you care to crawl around on all fours as did you can readily distinguish these traces for yourself"
 '''No, thank you," answered the bank CT. "I prefer to take your word for this part of the evidence"
 ''Then I shall resume my story" said Sturgis. 'The footprints show that Arbogast stood at his desk while the scrubbing was going on. We may safe y say it was after half-past four o'clock when he started to leave the bank; for otherwise it is presumable that Chatham would have waited for him at the corner of South and Wall streets, as he was asked to do in the bookkeeper's telegrHn. He first walked ever to the safe and closed it, changing the combination, so that the lock could not be opened until he had had a fair start. Next he went to the clerks room for his hat and coat and for the satchel in which he had packed just the few necessities for immediate use in his flight. He started to leave the building through the Exchange place door; but probably remembered that the Wall street door was not locked, and went back to lock it. As he was about to close the outer door, Chatham arrived on the scene, and the two men reentered, as we have already seen. The footprints tell their story fully and absolutely, their chronolog- teal order being established by the oc- casional obliteration of a footprint in one trail by another in subsequent trail. The two men walked back into the room in which we now are. Their actions after this will be clearer to you if you will follow on this diagram"

HI HENRY's MINISTRIES,

A big audience was present at Polls theater last night to witness the new
 innovation in minstrelsy as presented by Hi Henry, the veteran of the min strel field. Everything had been ad- vertised beforehand as new in all par sticulars and not an advance notice had been exaggerated. The performance as given last night could not fail to please and all present enjoyed each and every number. When the curtain went up on the first part s'The Bache- lor's Club" very pretty scene was presented. The stage settings were admirable and the whole company, who were present on the stage attired in dressy and new costumes. The endmen were capable and their jokes for the most part were original and were well rendered. The endmen s songs were also catchy and were sung, not mouthed. J. Albert Gates made q capable and efficient interlocutor and

 The night croons and moans, and then is

 aspire. Thanksgiving eve! I count my blessings
 o'er- The garnered treasure of the year now

 And one is but voices tender tone, And a smile from lips that smile no

CHAPTER K. PIECING THE EVIDENCE.


 Sturgis was still busy with his dia- gram. He spoke without looking up from his work.
 ''Who besides yourself has a key to the drawer in which this revolver is kept?"
 "The cashier has one and the head bookkeeper has another"
 You mean the bookkeeper who sits at the dcsk a [ the extreme right in the bookkecpers' department?'
 'Yes,' replied Dunlap, that is Mir. Arbogast's desk. Do you know him?" No. What did you say the gentle mans name is?" The reporter looked up and prepared to make a note oft.
 John w. Arbogast."
 "A man something over 50 years of age, quite bald, with fringe of gray hair; wears a heavy mustache and side whiskers; and had on yesterday after noon, when you last saw him, a pepper and-salt business suit" said Sturgis, writing down the name in his note- book
 Dunlap stared at the reporter in amazement. Sturgis smiled slightly.
 T met the gentleman yesterday aft ernoon," he explained.
 "Oh, that accounts for it!" exclaimed the banker. 'I see-but-but, then, how comes it that you did not know his name?"
 He did not tell me his name," said Sturgis, gravely, "and I did not know until just now that he was employed in the Knickerbocker bank. How long has he been with you?''
 Nearly 20 years; but only for the last five years as head bookkeeper."
 q suppose you have every confidence in his honesty?" asked the reporter, looking critically at the diagram be- fore him.
 "Of course. Such position is not given to man unless his record is ex- cellent."
 And yet" observed the reporter, re- fectiveiy, opportunity sometimes makes the thief.''
 ''True; but the duty of bank presi- dent is to reduce such opportunities to minimum" said Dunlap, somewhat pempously.
 Quite so," assented Sturgis, land this you accomplish by
 By having the books examined pe- riodically," answered the banker, rub ping his hands together with calm sat isfaction.
 II see,'' said the reporter, who had now finished his sketch. Do the en- ployes' of the bank know when an exam tnation of this kind is to be made?"
 "They do not even know that such examinations are made. No one but the accountant and myself are in the secret; for the overhauling of the books is done entirely at night, after the bank is closed"
 Have the books been recently ex- amined?" asked Sturgis. carelessly.
 'Yes; only last week."
 "Wen?"
 "They Were found to be all right, as asual.''
 May ask by whom?"
 By Murray & Scott, the expert ac- eountants."
 Was the examination conducted by Mr. Murray or by MT. Scott?
 ,'.aose are his very words" cont. lied the reporter; those he telegraphet to Chatham yesterday, as you will SC. if you hold before that mirror thi: sheet of plotting paper which I found on Arbogast's desk"
 Dunlap, with an unsteady hand, tool the plotting paper; and, holding it be fore the glass, studied the reflection intently.
 What do you make out?" asked Sturgis. Nothing whatever replied tn, banker. promptly. k

sTHE HEART OF CHICAGO"

The above play has been seen here on several occasions and it has al ways given good satisfaction and that Was the result of the performance last night. It was ain entirely new com pany and the members of the cast were all good in their respective parts. This company will be here for three days and will give natinceS daily, and all who desire to see an interesting and pleasing performance should not fail to attend. The scenic effects are excellent and the whole performance is deserving of good crowds for the rest of the engagement.
Waterbury Democrat., 1900-11-27

"What? ?" exclaimed the reporter; sedo you mean to say that you do not distinguish any marks on the plotting paper?"
 q mean to say that do not see any thing to which I can attach any sem blance of meaning. The plotting pa per has been used, and, of course, there are ink marks upon it; but, as far as I can see, these are wholly dis connected. They are entirely void of sense to my eyes, at any rate."
 Examine the blotter again careful ly in this direction," said Sturgis, drawing an imaginary line upon the mirror, ''and pay no attention to any other marks which seem to cross these lines. Now do you see anything?'
 The banker examined the image in the mirror for some time before reply ing.
 If I allow my imagination to ent> into play, I can complete several iso lated letters.'
 "Will you dictate these while I not them here. Be careful to distinguish between capital and lower-case letters. Also separate the lines, and state whether letters come close together or are separated by space"
 every we'll" agreed Dunlap, who then proceeded to read off the letters he saw in the reflection of the blotter in the mirror.
 When he had finished, Sturgis hand ed him the paper, upon which were transcribed the letters he had dictated. They presented the appearance shown below:

-WHEN WE WERE TWENTY-ONE."

Much pleasure will be felt It the an nouncement that William Morris and his fine company of players have been secured to present the beautiful love comedy, When We Were Twenty One" as the Thanksgiving attraction at Polls. This will be the third time this season for this play to be pre- scented here. On it's first performance so pronounced was the impression ere ated that the management was impor- tuned to bring it back. The first per @formance drew only a small audience but on the return engagement Polls was packed. When it was learned that it could be secured for Thanksgiving the local management at once took steps to secure it, and now local show goers will have chance to see the finest attraction ever offered them on a Thanksgiving day. Matinee and ev- ening performances will be given, and we confidently predict that every seat in Polls will be taken at both per formances. Seats go on sale tomOr- TOW at 25, 35, 50, 75 cents and $1.
