A Black Sheep.

The most instantaneous of all the
Hoyt successes, 8 A Black Sheep will
have an elaborate production, direct
from Hoyt's Theatre, New York, at
the Opera House, next Saturday even>
ing, with special st. Patrick's Day
matinee. The emphatic hit scored by
this remarkable merry farce during its
long run in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Chicago and other large cities
is fresh in the minds of those who keep
posted upon the successes of the great
metropolis. The setting of the piece
is very elaborate, an entire new set
of scenery having been painted by Mr..
Arthur Voegtlin, scenic artist Of Hoyt's
New York Theatre, for this seasons
tour. That the presentation of Mr..
Hoyt's laughable skit in this city will
be accorded hearty welcome is pretty
well evidenced by the unusually brisk
inquiry for seats, which go on sale Fri
day morning.

MR.. VANDERBILT UNDIsTURBED.
Says the Chinese situation VIII Not
Cause Financial Trouble.

Although the feeling OF uneasiness among
bankers Of the Far East. caused by the
Chinese troubles, has been reflected in
British monetary circles. American finan,
ciers are as yet undisturbed. A recent
press despatch creditIng the Secretary or
the Bank of England with anxiety for the
future, on account OF the disturbance in
Oriental money markets, was shown this
morning TO Acting Secretary Vanderlip at
the Treasury.

nances have been unaffected by the crisis

for any serious disturbance. We should
be less Influenced by the situation than
England OF course monetary movement
OF this sort is distributed all over the
world. but / think its effects will be very
slight here. Our commerce with China
has not been considerable, and although
il is now shut off on account OF the war,
yet II IS not a vital matter Then We
have no large credit which could be dis
tuIbed by a change in the form on gov
eminent and thus an entire upsettlDg of
the administration at Pekin would not
affect US directly. American interests have
projected important railway construction
in China. but up to the present time cur

NEW YORK, July 5.-The Stock Market
opened active and severely depressed in
sympathy with the course Of the London
market. which was fairly demoralized by
reason of the acute crisis in China. Con-
soils were shown at decline of fully one
point, and equal losses appeared in the
American quarter.
A condition of virtual panic was re-
ported in the Berlin market, and heavy
selling for German account was noted in
the London dealings. This was the main
influence. and indeed almost the only one
upon the opening OF business here.
The single exception to the general n
dency of the market was Jersey Cent al,

SOLD HIS BODY TO THE DOCTOR.
A Dying Mans Plan for Maintaining
His Life Insurance.

NfTom the St- Joseph mo NeWsl
In the office of an old physician in ST.
Joseph there hangs the skeleton OF a man,
and with il there hangs a tale that is
somewhat grewsome but nevertheless true.
The physician bought the mans skeleton
before he was dead, paid for it. and it was
delivered to him after death by the mans
wife according to contract. The man who
used the bones first, and to whom they be-
longed In life, was a Doniphan County
farmer living across the river from St.
Joseph He was in bad health and needed
money. In fact, he had to have money to
keep up his life Insurance and there had
been a partial failure OF crops that year.
The farmer knew the end Of life was not
far of and he must have money NJ once
10 pay up his life insurance. He had
wife and children and he would not mort
gage the farm.
One day he came to the city and said 10
the physician, whom he knew very well:
Doctor, what VIII you give me for my
skeleton?" II was startling proposition
at first and the physician shrank from
making such a purchase, but after the
farmer had explained his situation 1t did
not have such bad appearance. The sale
was finally made, the contract drawn and
signed, and the physician paid for the skei-
eton of the living man. The amount paid
was more than enough, the farmer said,
to pay for the life insurance as long as he
would need it. He lived longer than ex-
pected. however. and came back again to
see the physician. He had spent part of
the money for other purposes. and another
payment was almost due on the life In
surance. 81 am still using these bones
doctor" he said, land came over to see II
you could not afford to advance a little
more on them" The physician demurred
but finally made another small advance
over and above the price he was to pay
Soon afterward the farmer died and his
wife delivered the body to the physician
1t was dissected IN a medical college and
the physician still has the skeleton
10 was a grewsome bargain, but 1t was
business. The Kansas woman still has the
coffin in which her husbands body was
brought to che eitY.
