A Good Show.

The Man From Mexico company
played to fair sized house at the Au-
ditorium last evening. The play
abounds in comedy of situation and
sparkling bits of repartee. This effect
is achieved in a legitimate manner
without the aid Of any suggestive ref
erences, which are often found in COM
edy. The plot while light, is carried
straight through without any special
ties to divert the interest. The COM
plications while not involved, yet yield
much amusement in the resolution
The company which presented the
play is a very able one and contains
some good actors who act their parts
with utter unconsciousness.
The play was well received by the
audience and Manager Luchs is to be
congratulated ON securing the produc-
tion.

LARGE PRODUCER
Stuuck In the Cow Run Sand Near ParkerS-
burg.

The we'll which was drilled across
the river from Parkersburg, on the
VIM. Kirk farm yesterday, has created
furore of excitement in the town on
the river. The we'll was shot yester-
that it will be good for a five barrel
producer. The South Side Oil Co.,
which has the well, is in possession of
400 acres which they intend to devol-
up. The well is about 800 feet deep
and the oil was found in the second
Cow Run sand. The important thing
about the strike is that it shows Park
ersburg' to be in the center of an oil
producing region.

In Paris, at the Exposition, the Brit
ish-Indian tea planters are doing ex-
ceedingly well by selling the leaves
that cheer but not inebriate at francs
per pound, to the great establishment
of the Parisians, who have hitherto
paid 6 francs, francs and francs
for inferior qualities. In little while
we shall probably hear the same story
from Russia. which in normal times
spends 100000 on the Chinese prod
uct. Or perhaps we shall not hear.
and the story will have to be guessed
at, for the Russian tea importers,
among whom there are many million
aires, will substitute Indian tea for
Chinese, say nothing about it and
pocket the difference between the two
prices.

The following story IS going the
rounos of the express service;
When the express companies we're
wedding out the brotherhood men the
agent at small station on the Louis
vile division of the Pennsylvania
lines was marked to so, and an agent
was sent to transfer the Office. When
he was tod that he had been dis
charged the brotherhood man smiled.
"Why, you cannot discharge me, !"
he said
"And why not?" asked the aston
iShed route agent.
"Becausc you don't dare to-"
"Don't dare to-"
..That is what / said"
Sand why not?"
"Wcll, that's my business. !"
"Why the company certainly has a
right to select its employees, hasn't
it,"
"That depends great deal"
"Well, can only say to you that
you are discharged and Will get no
pay from this date"
The next morning when he went to
the depot to take his run, there was
another messenger in his p ace and he
was not permitted to enter the car.
Flushed with anger, he boarded a
train and came to Indianapolis. after
announcing that if he WAS not rein-
stated there would he one of tire big
gest strikes ever heard Of On his
arrival here he was aStonishe1 to
learn that all the brotherhood men
had been discharged and there was
no one to take up his fight for him.

What is the charm Of Chlna-that

to remaining at home in ciViiizeu
America? There is an account OF q
young woman, tho daughter OF wealthy
parents, whose husband was an OF
fetal of the Chinese imperial customs
service under Sir Robert Hart. Her
father, while making her n prolonged
visit some four or five years ago, was
struck even then by the signs OF nos
tility to foreigners. He was so much
impressed by the danger Of life IN
China that he made his son-in-laW
fine business offer, to remove any
financial objections to returning 10
America. The son-in-law's consent
was easily obtained, but the daughter
yielded only out OF regard for her Ia
Their. Life In China seemed then 10
her far more attractive than life IN
America, because, for one thing, they
have no housekeeping problem
there. The perfection of the Chinese
domestic service goes far toward max
ing life there comfortable for Euro
peans. "You see," explains resident,
