THE TURTLE

AAAa i q ~ LIZ
THE Turtle" comes 10 the Opera
House next Thursday night. The
story tells Of the double matri-
monial ventures Of one Champalier
who is nicknamed by his first wife
Leonie, as "The Turtle" his explana-
ton of 1t being that she used to call
him the turtle-dove, and finally drop
ped the dove part OF it. The first act
finds Champalier just divorced from
Leonie, who has schemed to this end
because she is enamored of a poster
painter named Adolphe. When the lat
ter appears upon the scene, she learns
to her horror that he has transferred
his affections TO one Juliette, the
daughter of an inn-keeper She has
also learned that Adolphe, to deceive
Juliette's parents, has represented her
to them as his sister. The complica-
tions which follow have been treated
with a very delicate hand, and never
offend. Laughter reigns throughout
the performance. and as the play pro-
ceeds the characters become more in
volyed. until It seems impossible to
release them from their troubles. The
last act is particularly bright and
witty, everything is smoothed out to
the satisfaction of everybody, and the
play ends with THE Turtle remarry-
ing ana returning to his first love. The
cast includes such able and accom-
plished players as Sylvia Alice Lynden,
Jessie Lansing, Frances Brooke, Ada
Zell Ada Morton, John Terriss, VIII

GREAT CITY FOR pADLoeKs.
Phenomenal Way in Which They Flour
 ish at Irkutsk

Trkutsk, the accepted capita of ori- ental Siberia, is a city of padiocks. IL has only about 51 ,000 inhabitants, yet there are more padlecks on the shut ters and doors of Irkutsk stores than can be found in an American city of 100000. There are as many as three padlocks on some store doors, and every lower story shutter bears from one to five. The paddock weighs from one to fifteen pounds The popular size is five pounds and two and one- half inches thick, says the Chicago Record. The closing of a store is an affair of consequence. The heavy shut ters are swung together the ponderous iron bars are put in place, the padlocks are adjusted and locked, and then comes the final and serious ceremony of locking the door. The door is shut. the bars are placed, and the paddock is
 fixed and locked, and the verdant stranger thinks the closing operation is ever. It is not. A piece of cord is drawn through the hasp of the paddock, and the two ends are held against the door by clerk or boy, while the pro- prietor melts a piece of sealing wax and sticks the ends to the door. On the hot wax he places his private stamp. A promenade on an Irkutsk business street after closing time shows the huge padlocks, the two lines of string and fat dab of red wax as big as silver dollar. In case sealing wax is dispensed with, the paddock is tied in a rag, the string being knotted in peculiar way. The business man of LrHutsk has no faith in 8 stringless paddock. I learned that through the wax and raS medium the owner of store knew if his lock had been tam pered with during the night.

MYSTIC MESSAGE OF SORROW.
Chicago Man Mysteriously Learns of
 His Rrother,s Death in Manila.

HIS heOG0eEsS OeAln m
 A mystic message brought sad intel ligenee to Frank Fay Pratt of Chicago one day last week. It told him of the death of his twin brother, Fred Roe Pratt, which occurred in Manila Frank was sitting down to dinner in his home in Chicago when suddenly the impression entered his mind that his brother had died. He could not tell whence the knowledge came, all he knew was that his brother was dead He told his parents of his belief, of his knowledge, of the sad event, and then he hurried into the streets, where he walked up and down for hours, bur dened with his grief. Three days later came cablegram from Manila, telling that Fred Roe Pratt, who had been yoyaging around the world, was dead and that bis body was on a steamer bound for Japan. Fred left Chicago in December, 1898, in the company of 3 frienG to naake tour of the world. 1t was their intention to Visi. nearly all the oriental countries, winding ID in Australia. They had already visited China, Japan, Singapore and other places. Fred was born in Chicago and had praeticed law with his brother un- til he started on this trip. The simi- larity between the twin brothers was so marked and striking that the first thought on seeing them together was to doubt ones eyesight. Not only in features and stature were they eoun- terparts, but in actions, expression and general bearing also.

1t Was Found on the Plains and Used
 on Many Ceremonial Occasions.


 Many Ceremonial Occasions
 The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning the celebration in this city of the fftieth anniversary of the state of California has history that is very interesting. h 1849 a young man in coming across the plains found a pile of books by the side of the road with stick stuck among them bearing a note telling travellers to help themselves. The young man in searching through the old volumes found a handsome Bible, which he con- sfdered shame to be left upon the 1reary desert He placed it in his pack and carried 1t to Sacramento. He presented it to Dr. R. H. Mcdonald who at that tune conducted drug store in thatzeity. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento q meeting was called in that city for the purpose of founding lodge of Masens. That was on Jan. 8. 1850. and the lodge was to be known as Connecticut Lodge, No. 75. 1t chanceG tIcl Ci1S d6GtlnS pidSS Nelo NdJoldiA5 the premises occupied by Dr. McDons aid. When it was convened it was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the book that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use. On the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Masons was formed and the Bible again pi4yed an important part in the ceremonies. Alter the form alton of the grand lodge the name of Connecticut lodge was changed to Te- hama lodge, No. 5. but ger since it's establishment on Jan. 8, 185o, the Bi- ble has remained ill the possession of the lodge R. o. Craven, prominent officer of the lodge. has been appointed to re1 resent the lodge here during the Jubilee exercises and serves as the GUS tedian of the prized old book during it's visit to this city.-San Jose (cal.)

Women Not Cowartllr

When cowardice is described as a leading feminine attribute somebody makes huge mistake. Women do the most daring things on record take chances which would appal man. They may jump at the sight or mere mention of harmless mouse, but they court death several times year It is one of the traits which makes feminine nature so puzzling. 1 haSe known wom- en who were timid to Il degree, under ordinary circumstances, come forth as heroines under the pressure of occa. sioa A woman who shudders at the sight of small cut from which blood oozes will oft4n exhibit marvellous courage in shocking accident. It 1s beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon that species of reck- lessness which leads us into unneces- sary trouble.

A raverite Rendezvous for rramps.

FAFefltS hSadeEgOuS TOT mWSs
 Two years ago a well was drilled on the Hays farm, near Independence, Mo, in search of oil. The we'll was put down by some eastern company. Situated in a secluded place along little creek, very few people ever knew that the well had been drilled What was found in the we'll will never be known, for as soon as 1t was comp1et- ed it was immediately filled up with rock and dirt. Lately, however, gas has begun to issue from the well, and now it comes forth in considerable quantities. It is not far from a little station on the Santa Fe railroad. and this winter the tramps have taken pos- session of the place. They have piled rocks around the we'll and turned a part of an oil stove over it. on which they cook. They have put up shanty, and in the center of the room their stove heated it with natural gas. The advantage of natural gas has made the place fayorite rendezvous for tramps for miles around, and they have quite colony there
