YOUNG wU's MARROW ESCAPE

Wu Ting-fang, Jr., the son of the Chinese minister, recently had an ex- perience with the Chinese exclusion act. Young Wu is at school in New Hamp shire. and his fellow students wanted him to go on an excursion that would take them through Canada, returning 10 the United States by another romtc. It was found at the last moment that young Wu would probably be detained when he returned to the United States, and so the excursion had to be post poned until the treasury. officials could wrlte-a document that would keep the immigration officials from bothering the young Chifiaman on his return from Canada. a.-Washington Star.

MAY FISKE.

The public continues to turn out in large numbers to the performances that Miss May Fiske and the Frankie Carpenter company are giving at the Jacques, and so far during the engage ment nothing but praise has been heard of the performances. Miss Fiske has not been known here before this engagement. but she has made herself many friends through her clever acting and magnetic personail- ty. Frankie Carpenter was always favorite here at the head of this con- pany but it is doubtful II she ever pleased her audiences better than Miss Fiske does. The company. too. iS q thoroughly well equipped one. and with the excellent lspeciallies that are introduced between acts the perform ances are thoroughly pleasing.

RELY UPON YOURSELF.
Fight YOur Own Battles and You Aro Pretty Sure to Win in the
 Struggle of Life.

Some one has said that the best way to start in life is astride a farm horse with q rope halter.
 Not the easiest way of getting on in the world, perhaps. but, says he Ma tional Rural, way that will accustom one to hard knocks when they meet them on the road of life. A good way to learn dependence on ones own heels and not on other peoples stirrups and ~to hold on with but little outside help. A splendid way to learn to rough it.
 The boy and girl are fortunate whose parents early train them to rely upon themselves. Skill in books or in the professions is only acquired by per sonal effort. The lives of great men remind us that almost without excep- tion they faced the battles of life alone, and the strength of mind and of char acter thus developed made them great and successful.
 Boys and girls who have been bol- stered up and helped all along the way of life rarely amount to much in an emergency; they are sure to look about for some one to lean upon and if no one appears down they go.
 Rely then upon yourself; fight your you will win.
 In the words of John G. Sake: ''Il the struggle for power, or scramble for
 pelf.
 Let this be your motto: Rely on yourself. For whether the prize be ribbon or

Jewish Tombs in China.

Jesuits who visited China in tho ff- eenth century found at Kai-Eung-Fu U he remains of a magnificent temple, modelled after the temple at Jerusa- em. A small coEpany of Jews re- mained, who gathered about their rabbi in small synagogue. In the possession of this congregation of Jews was found priceless collection of ancient rolls and manuscripts. and unsuccessful efforts were made by the Jesuits to secure them. Two hun dred years later a priest was sent to kai-Fung-Fu for the express purpose of getting possession of this collection, but the congregation had melted away. The synagogue and temple were gone and the collection of rolls and manuscripts lost, except a few fragments which were, in the posses sion of a Jewish family that could not read them and did not know what they were. but treasured them along with the tradition of their de- scent. The lost rolls and many more like them may yet be found in some of those Jewish sepulchers near the modern city.-Leslie's Weekly.

The survey of the Pacific bottom for the proposed cable to Japan and the Philippines has been completed and Rear Admiral Bradford, head of the hydrographic bureau, announces his readiness to proceed with the laying of the cable. About 60 miles east of the island of Guam an abyss was encoun- tered, the deepest ever found, in which bottom was only reached when 31,614 feet of wire had been run out. This abyss, now named the Nero deep, is, of course. avoided. At another place a high mountain range was discovered through which it was necessary to find pass.-N. '. Times.

However, the promoters of the Coliseum event have given this i'm portant feature to experts so that 9 general scheme patterned after the old Roman idea of oak leaf garlands offset against the deep green of the American evergreen will be executed. At the base of each arch there will be head of some game animal surround ed with heavy green wreath. Long ropes of oak leaves will hand in fes toons and so much of the real forest effect as is possible will be produced. Another thing promised is a real rushes so deftly placed that a wild duck might be deceived by it.
 Much stress is put upon the artis- tic development to be shown in this exposition. Several works of art are included in the big list of paintings that will be submitted. The Shiras series of midnight flash pictures taken of wild deer at their fayorite springs and salt licks, and the only pictures of their kind to be honored with a gold medal at the Paris fair, will show a phase of outdoor life that will suit many.

ADA REH.AN

There has been q tremendous rush today for seats for Miss Ada Rehan < .presenta ttion of sweet Nell of oid ;Drury'' tomorrow evening at Pol <. md the signs point now to the largest and most fashionable audience of the season. The performance will un- doubtedly be the leading dramatic event of the year. not alone because of the brilliant powers of the star, but because of the splendid character of the play as well. It is the play which created such q marked SenSatlon m London. where it ran an entire sea- son. and started the famous Nell Gwyn craze in that great metropolis It is q remarkable fact that the the atrical sensation of the London season should be play written hy Paul Kester. an American. Messrs NllW and Erlanger acquired the American rights. as the role of Nell Gwyn is par tfcularly and peculiarly fitted to Miss Rehan's many and varied accomplish mentS. This young dramatISt haS given to us series of beautiful pie tures en1ivened by living and natural figures set in consistent surroundings. Cleanliness and WhOleSomeneSS are the dominating influences, and are capped by womanly suffering and purity. Nell Gwyn. q character to whom his tory has not been kind, in at least one way, is placed in the crucible of an authors mind and comes out to Us womanly woman. The sweet Nell of Old Drury is q laughing. happy crea- ture. ambitious. it is true. possessed of an effervescing and sometimes bit ing wit which stands her in good stead in time of need and yet withal she has a soul and heart of which any woman might be proud. Mir keSterS $ Nell is peculiar character. sunny and fresh as q June morning one moment and the next as strong and unyielding aS steel To aSSimilate and portray the elusive charm of such q woman as Nell Gwyn is q task for q nature of peculiar allurement and one that is both sympathetic and piquant. It re ouires nature at once ma ture. know ing and accomplished with a Sugges- ton of beguilement. This is Miss Rehan's Nell. and it is a portrayal that gives the character an especial charm. Her success has been pronounced in several cities where the play has been < seen and created a SenSation at the Knickerbocker theater.

 President Eckels has sent out circu- lars in which people are told that the offic of the association have sub scribed sufficient funds to assure the exposition of successful run. The cordial cooperation of not only sports men but all interested in the preserva- ton of game and the cultivation of forests, fish and game is asked. The promoters are not sanguine of making profit because of the enormous expense attached to the show, but there are many who think that it will pSove a greater attraction than New York's horse show.

In some country households there are to be seen at the present time 12 large onions placed in a row, with pinch of salt on the top of each What mission have these odoriferous roots to perform? They are there, an English agricultural paper ex- plains, as weather prophets. The onions were set in position on Christmas day. They will be kept on guard until twelfth night. Then the believer in their prophetic office will examine them with scrupulous care. On some onions the salt will have melted; on others it will have remained dry. Each onion represents month. A rainy month is indicated where the salt has melted and a dry month where it has kept intact.-N. I. Times.

ems, furs and skin garments and armed somewhat as were the Nimrod heroes of the boys of dime novel reading days, were risking their lives pursuing ami mals which soon will be exhibited in this great show. To add to the wild flavor these same redskin trappers will come to the show, build typical wig wams and tepees and live in the camps that are protected by the Coliseum s big roof, cook over camp fires that are primitive enough for the Hudson Bay country and give exhibitions of canoe ing, spearing fish, hunting fur-bear- ing animals. etc.
 In addition to the scenes of western life in camps there will be log cabin settlements and live game park in which the natives of the far western retreats will showsamid surroundings that will be at once instructive to the school children and intensely inter esting to the parents who would like to sight along Winchesters at just one big mountain lion.'
 The plans of the directors-James es H. Eckels, the former comptroller of the currency and now a banker, is president of the show-include the making of an artificial lake for the aquatic-sports, log rolling-how many city children ever saw a Canadian lumberman riding logs and brailing them into rafts Swimming matches, water polo, high diving, canoeing, etc. |. If the Central association of the Am- ateur Athletic union can be brought into position of realizing the futilty of sticking too close to the absolute let ter of the rules, the water polo cham pionships, scheduled to be contested un- der the direction of the Y.

THE KILTIES.

The announcement that the kilticS' band, which made such a fine impress sion here three weeks ago, is to give another concert at Polls this coming Sunday evening. has been received with the greatest pleasure on all sides. No band ever gave more enjoyable concert, and the music played, being of popular kind and entirely foreign to the high classics. appealed to the uncultured ear quite as much as to the student of music. The bagpipe play ing and Scotch dances. too, as well as the male choir of sixteen voices. lent variety to the concert and made it ad- (1itionally attractive. Elsewhere that the band has played the same glowing reports are heard, and it is doubtful if Sousa'S. Brooke's or Godfrey's bands could draw so large an audience for 2 return engagement as always favors the Knties. The fact that the concert Is scheduled for Sunday evening, al- though necessity owing to the book in9s of the band. will probably lend additional popularity With that large class of people who like some pleasant and profitable way of spending their Sunday evenings. If Polls is not packed to overfiowing at this concert 1t win be passing strange, in view of the enthusiasm created by the Kilties' previous visit and the numerous re- quests for another concert.

to keep the half-breeds for protection against the full breeds becoming mo- rose and fatally ill., will be represent ed at the show. It is said that mountain goat, or white goat as he is called. has never been shown in cap tivity. But this show has some speci- mems. Jack Monroe, the 'boss hunter of the Blackfoot reservation,' has cap tured the Mazama Montana, and he says he will have one of the white fel- lows with a long beard and his spike horns that will make the city people stare. With a species of humor quite out of place in the Rocky mountains, this hunter says that the white goat is the original porch climber. The ancient dwellings in the cliff houses had to build walls to keep this animal from stealing their frijoles. The funny part of all is that the naturalists tell you that this great mountain climber is not goat at all, but a species of antelope.
 Among the game promised for the exposition is the Big Horn sheep. If the statements of the promoters are to be accepted, there will also be moose, elk. caribou, antelope. deer - several varieties of this beautiful animal-tim- Der wolves, several kinds of foxes, in cluding the silver fox, bears of the various species, lynx. partners, few beavers-it will be extremely difficult to provide these animals-and wild hogs. If but half of the animals prom ised are collected the natural histoSy park will be an instructive place. 1nas- much as the exposition is to be "promenade" affair, the visitors walk ing about instead of sitting ill an au- ditorium, while a programme of sports is being carried on. the idea of the promoters of bringing wild west va cation to city toilers seems to be a good one. If I have not been wrongly informed, there will be guides from Wisconsin and Maine pine woods at the show to give the visitors prac tical ideas on workmanship. Perhaps from these men of the forest prospective va cation enthusiasts will get enough "pointers" to find plenty of sport in the wilds of the pine woods next sum- mer.
