A. w. TREvITT, P. M.

A lady attended the On Gle Tom Cab
in performance last evening wearing
three-story theater hat, with, numerous
ostrich feathers, which she persisted in
wearing during the show. OF course it
shut off the view of the stage to those
behind her, but then that mattered lit
tie in her mind as long as the hat could
be displayed. A kick was made to the
manager and he politely asked the lady
so remove her head gear, informing her
that wearing hat continuously, pro-
duces badness, but she told him that it
was none of his business and that she
would not take it off He finally seeing
that talking would do no good, conclu-
ded that some other course must be
pursued and he removed the hat-pin
and the sky piece from her head. This
infuriated her and she struck at him,
the blow touching him on the cheek,
for time the audience forgot all about
Uncle Tom, but paid more attention to
the scene being enacted in that part of
the house The lady did not again put
on her hat, but instead placed pro-
gram on her head, which was fully as
bad. No harm was done except lit
stubbornness shown on a certain lady's
part.

that it was family surprise. Mrs. Dris-

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.

Martins Uncle Toms Cabin Com

night to house that was packed from
pit to gallery. The company was large
one and the street parade was the larg-
est and best ever seen thus far in this
city for an Uncle Tom Cabin company
and this alone helped to draw out a
crowd. The company is far ahead of
any Uncle Tom troupe seen here in re-

that drew considerable attention for he

THE EASTERN STAR.
A Chapter to be Organized in Weussu
Next Monday Evening.

There win be a Chapter of the Eastern
Star organized in Wausau next Monday
evening, at the Masonic Temple. There
arc now living in the city sixteen mem
bers of the order, who viii become
members of the new chapter, and it is
thought the institution will start off
with about twenty-five members. As
early as 1870 an order was started in
France and degrees invented to be ccl-
ferred upon female relatives of Master
Masons. The Eastern Star is Of COM
paratively recent origin, having made
its first successful organization in 1863.
Its design is to furnish means by
which the wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters of Masons may make them
selves known to members of the frater-
nifty and when necessary secure their
protection and assistance The first
Chapter in Wisconsin was organized in
1890. On the same year another was
organized in Milwaukee. There are
now over 100 Chapters in this state.

rill Chapter, will exemplify the work in

NEW ARMoRED TRAINS.

Two new armored trains, intended
for use in country where there are

been placed upon the establishm. mt at
lAldershot. Each consists of loo. omo-
tive or traction engine, and four tru. ks,
all of which are painted the now ia
miliar but ever unlovely khaki. The
locomotives, which are of exceedingly
powerful construction, are completely
cased with steel, the vital parts being
especially protected. An ingenious ar
rangement of prisms and mirrors,
somewhat after the manner of the
camera obscura, enables the driver in.

high sloping steel sides, which are

slides at either end to peRnit of guns
and wagons being run INTO the trucks.
The steel sides of the carriages are 50

HOME FOR scHooL-TEAcHERs.
Switzerland VIII Found Place
Where They Can Spend Their
VacatfOns

The Swiss educators are taking &C.
tive measures looking toward the
founding of lehrerheim, or home for
school-teachers during their holidays,
upon the model Of the admirable eisen-
bahner-heim, or home for railway
workers, on the Grubisbalm, upon the
slopes of the Rigi midway between
Vitznau and the Kaltbad, says for
eign correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle. The hotel on the Grubis-
balm, which owes it's initiative entirely
to a committee of workers on tine
Swiss railways, has now been open for
three or four years. Any railway man,
or member of railway mans family,
may be excellently lodged and boarded
there at cost of three to three and
one-half francs a day. The economical
question is exclusively treated in a
little pamphlet circulating amongst
the teachers in the Swiss common
schools. If the railway workers can
"help themselves" to so successful a
cooperative hotel and pension, why
cannot their educators do the same
asks Herr Walt, the writer of the pam-
phlet. The railway workers home on
the Rigi not only pays its expenses.
but at the end of the last season showed
a profit of 1900 francs, which is ex-
pccted to increase as itabecomes more
ters in Silesia have already provided
themselves with a similar cooperative
hotel and pension in the Schreiberhau.

ALL WANT TO BE HEROES.
Upon the Veldt In South
Africa.

A great rivalry exists among the
private soldiers in South Africa for the
honor of performing the most heroic
deed of the campaign. The most dra-
matte feat of the war, perhaps, was the
hosting of the union jack over Pre-
toria, and it is interesting to note that
this was done by man who is often
described as the richest man in Eng
land-the duke of Westminster. 1t is
the first notable thing the young duke
has done since his accession, and he
we'll deserved his reward-a cigar
handed to him by Lord Roberts on be-
half of lover of the weed at home.
The flag at Bloemfontein was hoisted
by Viscount Acheson, son of Lord Cos
port, though the honor has been
claimed for Lord Herbert Scott. The
first man to enter Mafeking on itss re-
lief was "Karri" Davies, who received
6 so from Liverpool merchant as his
reward. 1t is pleasing to know that
Davies Is an Australian, as was the
first man to enter Bloemfontein. Mr.
Donohoe, correspondent. The first
colonial v. C. was Trooper Morris. So
far nobody has succeeded in winning
the s25 offered in Melbourne to the
man who would first lay his hands on
President Kruger.

SIBERIAN CITIES.
Though Prospecting They Never
thcless Seem Dull and De-
pressing.

Perhaps the most curious feature of
all Siberian cities and villages is the
quiet of them, says Anna N. Benjamin,
in .tinslee's. The American finds it de.
pressing. The places seem half dead,
yet they are alive and thriving. Our
conception of prosperity in new cities
is SO associated with the clang of the
trolley, the smoke of the factory, the
weird writings of the steam siren, and
the hustle of the population, that it is
hard for us to realize that prosperity
may exist in place of dead calm.
Nladivistok, Khabarovsk, Blagovest-
chensk and Irkutsk all present the
same features. Blagovestchensk, in
the heart of eastern Siberia, on the
junction of the Zeya river with the
Amur, is, perhaps, the most interest
ing city. On the central square of the
city, where the market is, face two
large department stores which for size.
beauty OF architecture and variety of
stock would do credit to any American
city. The bank buildings, the museum,
and other business and government
houses, are of brick or stone. Good
schools have been established, so that
1t is possible for boy here, as we'll as
in all Siberian cities, to receive thor
ough education. In Vladivostok a
training school for eastern diplomats
turns out graduates accomplished in
oriental languages to begin their ca
reers as Interpreters or secretaries of
legations,

COULD NOT BE PHOTOGRAPHED
tected Miss Helen Gould from
the Camera Fiends.

When Miss Helen Gould visited the
tenth annual convention of the railroad
department of the Young Mems Chris
ton association at Philadelphia some
weeks ago the newspaper artists were
bound to sketch her as she appeared at
the reception. To this Miss Gould OBJ
jected strenuously, but the artists were
not routed until the railroad men
threatened to demolish the photograph
ers' expensive camera and tear up the
artists cardboards. score of news
paper photographers and artists ap-
peared at the y. NJ. C. A. building early
and were informed that they could not
enter with their machines.
A dozen burly railroad men were ap-
pointed to smash all cameras found in
side the building and tear up all artists
materials. The picture men then wait
ed outside. When Miss Gould arrived
with Mrs. Sage flank movement was
made and their carriage was driven
around to side entrance.
The men of pictures rushed to the
side door, but upon arriving there
found the women surrounded by over
so tall men, who formed bodyguard
clear into the building, shutting the
cameras out completely.
In the crush to close out the picture
men Miss Gould and. Mrs. Sage were
almost crushed themselves. They
seemed amazed at the excitement at
first, but soon learned the cause and
helped to deprive the picture men OF
snap shots.
