Chinaman and Chri.tian.

A Chinaman of great dignity and some
splendor of dress was getting off an ele-
waited train at Twenty-third street the other
day when white rowdy called after him:
Say" said the tough, "are you box

The other tough added some abuse and
who got of the car, then turned. He waited
till the gates were closed, then he answered
In pretty clear English:
"Say, you Clistians"
Then the gateman and some passengers
laughed, and the toughs skunk into the car.

Intelligent stage Drivers.

A New York visitor returned recently
from Newport full of admiration for the in
teIligence of the stage drivers who undertake
to show strangers the sights of the town. He
was driving about in one of the vehicles de-
voted to the entertainment of those who un-
dertake to see the sights of the town mex
pensively. The driver stopped before one OF
Smith-Jones' villa" said the driver, as he
turned to the passengers, -and the lady in
the red hat by the corner of the piazza is
the younger Miss Smith-Jones, whose en-
gagement to Mr.. Brown was announced yes
terday." The New York visitor had never
before met stage drivers so anxious to have
their patrons enjoy themselves-N. Y. Sun.

1t Was Funny.

An amusing incident of the election
occurred at Fort Smelling while four
residents of that vicinity were going
to cast their votes. 1t appears the
companies were out for a drill, and
encountered the four. Without motto
ing them they went through their
ordinary maneuvers, presenting their
arms to them, making them feel very
much like they were in North Carroll
ma, and finally discharging their blank
cartridges.
Lieut. Col. Reade, who was drilling
his men, treated the would-be voters
with the same contempt, carefully
taking his notes of the maneuvers of
the men. The latter finally recovered
from the surprise, if it was not fright,
and went to the polls and cast their
votes without molestatlon.

Close the Schools.

The schools of Duluth are to be
further curtailed by the closed of the
Smithville school on account of small
pox. This is the second to be closed
for the same cause. The teacher and
children from the Adams that have
been quarantin9d are about to be re-
leased, the disease having run its
course without serious illness on the
part of any one. Many children whose
parents refuse to permit vaccination
are still out of school, but it is prob
able that test cases will be taken
through the courts at once The
school board is to open cooking schools
soon in the Washington building, is to
have fire alarm boxes put in each
school is to remove the tower of the
Longfellow school and fit up a number
of rooms in basement for school pur-
poses, there being crowding of most

Laws Violated.

1t is claimed that the pot-hunters at
Heron Lake have formed a com bina-
ton to prevent regular sportsman
from shooting in that vicinity. The
combine against spotsmen has been SO
strong that the pot-hunters' patrols on
the lakes have succeeded, it is claimed,
in driving every man off the lake who
does not shoot for the Chicago mark

The shipments from Heron Lake to
game commission firms in chicago have
aggregated from 500 to 1,5o0 birds a

this ruthless slaughter has made no
apparent effect on the supply. Last
week it was reported that the canvas

THEATRICAL.
"Il Trovatore." -,

1t is not often that Scranton Is
favored with grand opera and is re-
grettable that the audience that heard
the Strakosch Opera company sing III
Trovatore" at the Lyceum last night,
was not larger The dsagreable
weather had something to do with the
slim attendance.
Those who heard the opera We're
highly pleased with the manner in
which Verdi's most pleasing and tune
full opera was sung by the company.
The solo work of the artists was of a
high order and the chorus, while not
large, was made up Of good voices.
The chorus sang with spirit, feeling
and discrimination.
Madam Avery Strakosch, who pos
sesses a beautiful soprano voice of
great flexibility, sang the role of Leo
nora in a way that called forth the
unstinted praise and applause of the
audience. The singing of Miss Amelia
Fields as Azucena. Payne Clarke as
Maurice and J. X. Murray as Count
di Luna was received with as many
evidences of favor as were showered on
the prima donna. A notable feature of
the production was the superb dram
attic work Of Madame StrakOsch. Mr..
Murray and Miss Fields. Mr.. Clarke
has a fine tenor voice of extensive
range, but lacks the dramatic ability
of his associates.
The opera is adequately costumed and
nicely staged This afternoon the
company will sing "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" and tonight Carmen"
