The Yiddi.h stage i'm England.

The prominence given at the present
time to everything Yfddish, and espe-
cially to the Yiddish theater, reminds
the Jewish World that, as long ago as
long ago as 1905, a Yiddish troupe Of
players appeared in Berlin. The d.
rector of the first company was fined
for producing Purim play in Holy
Week, and the second head Of the COM
pany was punished for "a similar Of
tense in 17OS In these two mentioned
years Purim occurred during Holy
Week. In the last quarter Of the
eighteenth century Dessau had a reg
ular Yiddish theater, and the Jewish
opera in the ninetfes Of the eighteenth
century, in Amsterdam, had great
reputation. The administrator, Eze-
chiel, was known as the Senator, and
the prompter was called "orsan
Moses" and the prima donna was a
"Fraulein" schnitzler. The company
produced Yiddfsh translations of the
works of Mozart, Saleiri and Differs

HER DRINKING SONG.

Great Demand Made Upon Nine.
-Heinl1 to Sing 1t Every
Place. She Went. v
Nine. Schumann- Heink, who has re-
turned, to New York, after singing in
the various musical festivals, found
that the fame of her drinking song had
preceded her. Whether she sang Mo-
Fart or Wagner, there was always a
demand to hear the Donizettf brindisi,
and until she added that number her
triumph was never, complete. Next to
this feature, Nine: Schumann-Heinls
found the public in the towns outside
New York interested chiefly in the
number of her children. Whether it
was eight or nine, or ten, or; perhaps,
only six little Heinks and Schumanns

The Last of a. Banakee Tribe.

The Last of n Banakee Tribe.
Mitchell Sabattis, an old Indian
guide of the North woods, is said to
have suffered second stroke of paral.
ysis recently, and is fast losing his
strength. 1t is claimed that he is con-
siderahly over 100 years old, but, as he
does not know his age himself, the
question has never been settled.
Sabattis is one of the st. Francis
tribe of Banakee Indians, and the last
full blooded member Of the tribe in
this country. He is one Of the old
landmarks of the days when panthers
and moose We're quite plentiful, and
when wolves ran wild in packs in the
Adirondacks.

Mitchell, were in the habit of camp.

Lake region their headquarters. And
Mitchell is now passing his declining
days with his son Harry, at the foot

after him. They gave the lakes,
streams, mountains and points in the
mountains their names.-Adirondanc

The speaker Of the house OF com.
mons has nothing to do with the-ap-
pointment Of the committees, either
grand or special. That duty devolves
upon the committee Of selection, which
is chosen by the house itself from the
more experienced members. This COM
mittee in turn appoints all the COM
mittees authorized by the standing or
ders. There remains to the speaker
only the impartial performance of his
duties as presiding officer. His depu-
ty, who is also chairman of commit
tees of the whole, is chosen the first
time the house goes into committee for
supply. To aid him in his work by
filing his place when weary, the
speaker appoints five other members,
whom the chairman may call to the
table to perform his duties-Ex-S Speak

Her brain seemed on fire; every
pulse was surging and throbbing. Her

But her hesitation lasted only for.

stealing her way up the stairs.
Noiseless1y she opened the door OF
her own room, shut and barred it. She
