Janesn, the wall paper man.

The amusement loving public
demands something new and novel
always, and comedy is the un-
doubted craze of the present, as
in this form of amusement, when
it is interspersed with up-to-
date features, the public whim is
gratitied to greater extent than
in almost any other. Among the
managers to recognize this fact is
j. NJ Welch, who presents this
season ONE of the most absolute
and unqualified successes ever re-
corded in the annals of farce com
edy. Their property is entitled
"A Bell Boy" 1t is written in the
happiest vein of Jas. d. Flynn,
one of the country's foremost writ
ers in that line of work; it boasts
of a plot that is SO simple yet so
uproarously funny that old and
young alike are kept in continual
grin of expectation from the rise
of the first, until the fall of the
final, curtain. The singing is of a
high grade, the choruses bright
and catchy, and everything goes
with vim that is highly entertain
ing. An efficient cast, represent
ing an unusual amount of talent,
has been engaged. This comedy
will be given next Friday, Novem-
Der l6. Regular house prices will
prevail. Advance sale of seats at
the Palace Pharmacy.

CALAMITY OF THE JAPs.
Military Men Are Much Impressed
With Their Bravery and Efficiency,


LONDON, Aug. 20.-Military men here
are much impressed by the accounts of
the extraordinary gallantry and eff
cheney displayed by the japanese troops,
though it does not surprise those who
had opportunities of seeing their be-
havior during the last war with China.
A British naval officer who was attached
to the japanese headquarters during
that campaign said that for combined
steadineSs and dash he thought the jap
apese were equal to the best regiments
of any European army. In the present
brief operations they have already COW
cred themselves with honor.
At the battle Of Pietsang the manner
in which the japanese cavalry charged
straight at China battery and sabred
the gunners is described as magnificent
Their fault is that they are too impetu-
GUS and lose men through their reckless
courage, but in this war, as in their pre-
vious conflict with China, they have
shown that no Drawer troops and more
enduring soldiers can be found in the
ranks of the European armies.

RUSSIANS SAVED THE DAY.
Fought Calamity and Prevented the
Slaughter of the Foreigners.

Slaughter of the Foreigners.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20.-The follow
ing letter was received last night from
Mrs. Charles DENLY, Jr., dated Tien
Tsin, June 80:
''On the night of June 10 enormous
fires in the native city were started and
the Boxers began their attack on the
settlement. We were all aroused at 4
o'clock.and every one who lived in the
extra concession went either to friends
on the Victoria road or to the town hall.
AS it happened, Mrs. Won Hanneken
had asked us to come to her, in case of
alarm, so we escaped to the town hall
There were perhaps 100 people who re-
manned in their own homes. All the
rest were huddled together in Gordon
hall for ten days.
"The Chinese troops were every
where. Two days before the alarm l,700
Russian troops arrived. They saved our
lives. Had it not been for them all OF
us would have been slaughtered. On
that Monday night they fought 5000
Chinese foreign drilled troops for -
hours. At one time they thought they
SAAS
evening the Russians still maintained
their position. How the Russians fought
and suffered. I cannot describe their
courage. For three days they lay in the
open, exposed to terrible fire without
being able to fight back. The Chinese
were behind trenches. SO the Russians
could not afford to waste ammunition.
''All these days we were waiting and
waiting for reinforcements. We could
not believe the admirals would lombard
the forts at Taku, plunge us into war
and then leave us with only few hun
dred troops. Such, however, was the
case. No one knows where the fault
lay. Those were@@three dreadful days of
fighting. But when the 1900 additional
troops were dispatched from Taku, after
the arrival of Jim Watts, the brave
Russian rider, they were able, with such
a reinforcement, to work their way
through. Thus, they all arrived on
Sunday morning and we were saved. "

CHINESE MINISTER TALKS.

the Emperor.

He Hopes the Powers Will Not Depose
the Emperor.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 90. - WI Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister, in an inter
view, made the following statementsi
''China recognizes the emperor and
empress dowager as her rulers. They
are the government of China. I have
no idea that an attempt will be made by
the Chinese to overthrow them. An
official announcement of the entrance
of the allies into Peking and the safety
of tie legations also stated that before
the city was attacked the court had gone
to the west.
81 presume the report published a few
days ago that the emperor and empress
dowager had gone to Isl Nan Flu is
probably correct" added Minister WI.
1.-THE mere fact that the emperor and
empress dowager are not at Peking does
not change the governing power of
China. do not fear an internal revolt
against them and / sincerely trust that
the powers will do nothing to remove
the present ruler from the government
of China.
"I am not informed as to the terms
which the powers will present and am
equally uninformed as to the PROPOSE
tions, if any, which Ii Hung Chang will
submit. Whatever the wrong for which
China may be responsible she will rec
tify it, am sure"

MOB MENAcEs THE FIoos.

to Prevent a Lynchtng.
OMAHA, Aug. 20.-At Gretna, stray
Cling prairie village rs miles southwest
of this city, patrol of citizens keeps
Rightly vigil over the residence of Louis
Figg, the founder Of q strange religious
sect known as the Eighties.
1t is to save Figg and his wife from
mob violence that these citizens have
volunteered to stand guard. Many Of
them are bitterly opposed to the relig-
ious leadership of the Figgs, but are
standing guard to save their town and
county from further stigma of mob rule.
One night last March a masked mob
invaded the Figg home, and dragging
Figg and his wife from bed, bedaubed
them with tar and feathers. At the
same time they were warned to leave
the county at once. They refused to
comply with the command and are still
residents of Gretna. Much excitement
prevails and repetition Of the tar and
feather incident is feared-or perhaps
death at the end of a rope.
