PARACHUTE JUMPS.
A Circus Balloon Artist Tells About
the Sensation.

Coming down from the clouds in

hurt. Well, that's the parachute drop
over again. No, there is no danger. a
parachute can be guided readily on the
down trip, but you can't steer o. balloon.
To guide a parachute out Of harms

way or tbs other, spill out air and thus
work It to where WOu want TO land, or TO
avoid water, trees. Chimucy5 or church

made in the evening. When the sun
goes down the wind goes down. The bal

parachute drops back on the circus lot.

"a balloon is made I'D Of four-ccnt ruus-
lin and weighs about 500 pounds. A par
achute is made Of eight-cent muslin. The
rope that secures the parachute Is cut
with q knife. The aerOnaut drops fully
| 100 feet before the parachute begins to
fill. 1T must fill if you're up high enough.
There are several hundred parachute
men in the business, and the accidents
are less in ratio than railroad casualties.
Our business IS new. at that After a
while the ratio viii be less. A man can't

A man in the air is simply powerless.
Invariably the fall Is head first When
the parachute begins to fiji the descent

chute has finally filed It bulges out with

his trapeze and guides the parachute to
safe landing. In seven cases out Of ten
you can land back on the lot where you
started from"

BEATING PARIS THEATERs.
Figaro Tells Two Interesting Stories
About How 1t Is Done.

Figaro Tells Two Interesting Stories
About How 1t Is Done.
The recent arrest Of a man who tried
to beat his way into Paris theaters by
representing himself as Henry Fouquer
the dramatic critic of the Figaro, recalls
a. good story Of the famous caricaturist
Grevin.
He rarely attended the theater, and
had never been in the FoIfes-B ergere
though his name had been on it's compli-
mentary list for years.
One evening he presented himself at
the music hall and gave his name
"Grevin, the artist asked the ticket
taker.
Eyes, of course"
"You can't play that game here, my
friend. We know Grevin too well. Why,
he has been here almost every night for
the last five years."
There IS still a better story Of the com
poser, Boieldieu. who was on the free
list of the Theatre Francois, but seldom
went thither
One evening he appeared at the box
office accompanied by young lady. Buy
ing a ticket for her, he handed it to the
gateman and gave his own name.
"Oh, yes, that's a good joke" said the
ticket-taker 1--WE don't mind 1t much.
We are used to 1t. For tonight, you see,
1T won't work for Mr.. BoiAldieu has just
gone in and is now sitting IN his usual
seat in the orchestra
Boieldieu redeemed as If with conscious
guilt, stammered a confused apology. and
bought another ticket at the box office.
But surely you're not going to let them
take you for an imposter?" exclaimed
the young lady. You ought to unmask
the villain who has stolen your name"
why should 1 disturb the poor devil?'
said Boieldieu. Evidently he IS much fond
er of the theater than I, as he attends SO
often and I so seldom

The entire disappearance of the

OF no more sporadic cases in other part
OF the empire, its ravages being noS
confined entirely 10 the city OF Osaka
is a fact attracting much attention. In
the later city it has assumed Its most
dangerous form, that of lung attack,

Check the Disease.
San Francisco. Feb. 8.--The steamer
Australia, seven days from Honolulu,
arrived today and reports that up TO
the time OF her departure, Al deaths
from plague had occurred, and there
was total OF SO cases. The Australia
had on board It's passengers. the larg-
est number which ever came to this
port on O single steamer from the
Hawaiian islands.
In an effort to stamp out the plague,
1t was decided to burn one Of the blocks
In Chinatown. The FIRE was started,
and IL gained such headway. that the
fire department could not control 1t.
The flames spread rapidly from one
block TO another, and soon the whole
Chinese quarter was destroyed. Hard
ly house was left standing in the dis
trict. The Chinese and othef residents
Of the district fed frvm their homes
In terror, and were unable 20 save
much Of their effects. As result OF
the destruction OF the Chinese quarter,
| I, 900 people were rendered homeless,
and they are now living In tents.
/ The fire destroyed 10 blocks bound
cd by Kulxui, Queen and Nunau streets.
j The most notable building burned was
the Kaumakakpili. a prominent land
mark, and the most comfortable edifice
of its kind In Honolulu. IL contained
large pipe organ, valued at $4,000.
The steamship Iroquois rendered valu-
able aid. She put out two lines Of
hose which saved the Honolulu iron
works.
The Australia's passengers were
taken of and placed in the quarantine
station at Angel island, where they will
remain till tomorrow,
According to advices from Honolulu
the transport Aztec, which left thii
port for Hilo. with 400 mules anc
horses, may not attempt to land hel

to be employed, as the wharf there can
not accommodate the Aztec. At pres

that the horses cannot lie landed safely
and it is expected that the Aztec viii
have to return to Honolulu.

many grave incidents, notable the

The army complains of bad treat
ment and the secret dispatch OF Egyp-
tian troops to South Africa. 1t appears
certain that 10 Maxims and large
assignment OF saddles have gone to Dur
ban, and number of English officers
and civil functionaries have obtained
unlimited furlough TO go to South
Africa, which is believed to be breach
of Egypt's neutrality. The govern
ment is alarmed at the Attitude of the
black troops, and has asked the khe'
dive to intervene. The latter has sent
letter urging obedience, but anxiety
nevertheless continues. Egypt is al

Of the charges against Senator Clark,
Of Montana, in connection with his
election to the United States senate,

beginning Of the presentation of the

The first witness was Frank +.

Question I'm the House.

Washington. Feb. 5.---An effort by
Pettigrew, Of South Dakota, to discuss
the Philippine question in the senate
today was OF no avail, as he was met
by point OF order which took him
from the floor. He had gotten only 30
far as to charge that the great journals
Of the country would not publish the
facts concerning the Philippine war.
Subsequently he offered another reso-
luton on which he will speak next
week. Allen, Of Nebraska, concluded
his speech in the arraignment of Secre-
tary Gage because Of his transaction
with the National City bank of New
York. He had previously introduced
resolution providing for an investiga-
tion by the senate Of the treasury de-
partment, but objection to its consid-
Grafton sent it over until next week.
The house today devoted its attention
TO the Indian appropriation bill. II
got no further, however, than the ap-
preparations for Indians schools, where
an effort was inaugurated by Fitzger-
aid, of New York, to permit the secre-
tary of the interior to contract with
schools for the education Of Indian
children where the government lacks
facilities. No appropriation is made
for contract schools in this bill. 1t Il
claimed that the present Indian school
facilities are inadequate.
