When a respectable middle aged mar
ried attorney at law falls desperately in
love with another mans wife 1t Is only
natural to expect that a certain number
of things, something put Of the ordinary
run will happen, n as a general thing
they do happen. "Too Much Johnson"
which will appear at the Grand Opera
house on January q, % and %, bills some
of these things, and If the author, Mr..
William Gillett. overlooked any possible
source OF fun in relating them it is more
than probable that everyone in the aud
fence will be too sore from laughing to
write to New York and tell hin about it.
'Too Much Johnson is Mr.. Gillett's
brightest comedy and one Of Mr.. Froh-
mans greatest New York successes. 1t
is being put in by a splendid company
and no further recommendation is neces-
Sary.

MEMORY, AND WHAT THEN?

Max Muller in The Nineteenth Century:
I knew Macauley. of whom it was said
and believed that he could repeat a lead
ing article Of The Times after HAVING read
it once: but l never had the heart to ask
him to let me hear HIM y ' So. Prof Con
ineton At Oxford enjoyed the 81 me repu-
tation, but I never heard him either re-
reat a few pages 1fter h h I'd read them.
Still there is nothing so very incredible
in this, for when l was at school at Lelp
sic and the whole class was punished BY
being kept back till they had learned two
or three chapters Of Cicero, | generally
was off in about ten minutes. I could
not do thai now for my very life.
lately read a very interesting book by
the Rev. H. C. Adams, q master at Win
chester, which was, and is still, famous
for it's system of standing up" As 1t
was published in his lifetime, and in the
lifetime of the pupils whom ne mentions
by name, I think he may be fairly trusted.
He tells US in Wykehamica QS78)) that
he knew a schoolfellow who never could
learn his repetition, but who could never
theless go through the whole of the scores
in the matches with Elton and Harrow
from the very first, giving each player
his correct number of runs, and particu-
larly the manner in which he was out.
He knew another, of no remarkable ca
pacity, able to say the whole of t he Eng
fish Bible by rote. Put him on where you
would, he would 90 fluently on as long as
there was any one to listen.
When large standings up were said,
sometimes 49, 900 and $4,000 lines were
said, and were said well, too. In Bishop
Wordsworth's time, one boy in the sem
Tor part of the fifth took up the whole
Of Virgil for his standing up, and acquit-
ted himself brilliantly, that being only a
portion Of his eight lessons. / have made
the reading Of The Times every morning
responsible for the gradual paralysis of

we are told the late editor of The Tim 8,
Mr.. Chenery, whose death Is still deplor-
ell by so many friends. knew the Koran
and the Old Testament in Arabic and He

rabbi? Perhaps those who, like myself,
knew him we'll. may feel a little skepti-
cal. He certainly never mentioned this
extraordinary power to me. Judging by
our own capacity or incapacity. We may
perhaps recall to mind, the wel-knOwn
lines Of Horace which we learned at

She was a pretty woman of medium

ing by an attorney for the de-
fense, in the trial of ex-Inspector
General Marsh. His direct testimony
of Friday, detailing the negotiations
and transactions, was not shaken.
Through an objection raised by the
defense it developed that Marsh's at-
torneys will attempt to impeach Bick-
erstaff, and perhaps other witnesses,
by swearing members of the grand
jury to prove that the story they tell
in court is not the same as was told
the jury.
Now that Bickerstaff has testified
that he paid portion of the fraud

FEAR THE STRIKE.
Lake Superior Mining Companies Ap-
prehenslve of the Machinists'
Troubles.

Houghton, March 26.-The strike of
the machinists in the big shops at
Chicago is exciting apprehension on
the part of the mining companies of
the Lake Superior copper district.
There seems danger that the strike
may spread TO other cities, and should
such an event happen there might be
a protracted struggle between the ma
chinists and the employers similar to
the great contest of three years ago
in England-a strike which allowed
Englands competitors TO secure a
strong foothold in markets thereto
fore inaccessible to them. There is
no other mineral field in this coun-
try, and, with the exception of the
Witwatersrand gold reefs of the
Transvaal, no other in the world that
uses so much heavy machinery as
the Lake Superior copper district.
The Calumet and Hecla alone has FREE
quently had millions of dollars in ma
chinery contracts outstanding, and at
present can have little if any less
than S500,000 of such contracts. All
the mines of the district have impor-
tant machinery contracts awaiting
completion, many of which have been
placed in Chicago where the largest
mining machinery firm in the world
has its works. Other heavy orders by
local miners are being filed at Philadel-
phia and Milwaukee. as well as small
er orders, aggregating several hun
1D1I IN 90 Inr
towns. The Chicago strike alone is
a serious matter for the mines. but
should the trouble become national
the loss to the mines would amount to
q tremendous sum.

$4,000. The gorge was broken Fri

heaps are piled in door yards and
about the houses. 1t is impossible TO
traverse several streets. In others
the water line is plainly visible half
way up the first story windows. In
some places ten to 90 feet of ice is
piled about the dwellings, and trees,
sidewalks, chicken coops, outhouses,
fences and telegraph poles are strewn
I'm the lots and on the highway. The
river. though now within it's channel,
flows through solid wall of ice,
ranging from five TO Is feet in height.

In 1896, which embrace the free coinage or

ent administration against the American
people are too numerous to mention in de-
tail but we rejoice that in the Porto Rico
family feud they have been compelled un-
Willingly to disclose the ghastliness OF
their imperialistic tendencies; that in the
midst of their attempted wreck of the re-
public of our fathers we rejoice in the
fact that the people have in advance Of
all conventions selected William j. Bryan,

the foes of the republic, and to him we
pledge our unqualified support
1--WE denounce the republican party OF
this state, which, while in its platform OF
1898 II pledged to the people legislation in
favor of tax reform and equal taxation,
and that corporations and trusts should be
compelled to pay their fair share of the
tax burdens, and while the people OF the
state elected a governor In favor of these
reforms, republican legislature under the
control of these trusts and monopolie5
