THE FAST MAIL.

In speaking of "The Fast Mail" the
Commercial Tribune of CINCINNATI on
August Goth says: IF wild applause
and two large audiences furnish any
gauge as to the popularity of play,
The Fast Mail which opened at the
Lyceum yesterday afternoon is still as
potent with the masses as ever In
spite the torridity Of the weather two
of the largest audiences ever assembled
at the Lyceum enjoyed the thrilling
scenes and climaxes of Mr.. Carter's
masterpiece, The Fast Mail. The
advance notices promised q better pro-
duction Of the Mali than had pre-
viously been given in this city and We
can truthfully state that these promis-
es were more than fulfilled. The
scenery is new, more beautiful than we
have ever seen in this play in its pre-
vioas visits to this city, particularly
the 'Niagra Falls as was presented
last night at the Lyceum was un-
doubtedly the most beautiful scenic
that has ever been seen
on that stage. The freight train with
its MoguI engine putting and painting
was as real as of yore, the fight Of the
Fast Mail, seems to have kept pace
with the increased speed Of the rail-
roads throughout the country. The
cast was decidedly better than any
that have previously presented The
Fast Mail in Cincinnati. We predict
that THE Fast Mall will be the larg-
est drawing card the Lyeeum has had
this season" At Grand Opera House

Fierce Storms on
Lake BaikaI, Siberia.
Tempesluons Times That Are
Prevalent on One of That
Conntry'a Seas.

The part of the Siberian railroad
that will skirt the southern shores
of Lake Baikal has not yet been
built. 1t involves difficult engineer
ing, and the railroad authorities de-
cided, for a few years, to use Ice
breaking steamers, tie barges to
them loaded with passengers and
freight cars and thus ferry trains
across the lake. But now they have
come to the conclusion to build the
line around the foot of the lake as
soon as they can, for they are hay-
ing no end Of trouble with stormy
and foggy Baikal The lake ID 65
miles wide and it IL Joke for the
passengerstD 20 be - their ears
on the. |barges for4A /Gah9 hours ~
a time, as has bapl1 a now and
then within the lAst year. Cd these
occasions a storm on the lake or q
heavy fog has made II impossible to
reach port, says the New ork Sun.
Anyone knowing the conditions of
travel on this lake might expect such
accidents. There is no good port, and
one cannot be made without spend
ing fortune. Awhile ago sailing
vessels were the only means OF trans
port, and they sometimes took over
a fortnight in crossing the lake, beat
ing up~and down and waiting for a
chance to get to the landing while
storms were raging for days and
days.
Millions of Russians seem to have
an erroneous idea Of Raikal 1t Is the
largest fresh water lake in Asia, but
the Russians do not hesitate to call
1t the largest in the word. In fact.
the lake is thus ranked in some Of
the Biographies ued in Tussia
schools. The compilers of these TEXT
books would seem never to have
heard of our great lakes and those of
central Africa.

mann, the trolley crew on the Green
Ridge Peoples line who have been
dynamited three times and assaulted
as many more, were set upon again
yesterday morning by crowd at Ca
pouse avenue and Ash street.
The car was stopped at the passing
switch, waiting for the car coming
from the opposite direction. when the
crowd closed in on the crew and pro-
cceded to iostlc them about and cuff
them When the crew offered to pro-
tect themselves, one of the crowd COW
cred them with IL revolver. while an
other struck IIrtz on the arm with a
chair, completely disabling him.
AS the crew vas getting away, the
crowd yelled after them to send down
the officers ana that the crowd would
take care of them differently from
what they had been taken care of on
Luzcrne street.
An effort is being made to have the
crews assailants identified.
The executive committee of the
strikers announced yesterday that the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor had approved the
resolution directing that $4,000 be inn
mediately appropriated to the aid of
the strikers. National President Ma
hon is still in the city and will remain

Lackawanna's New Summer Book.

Lackawanna's New Summer Book.
The Lackawanna railroad is about
to issue a Summer Book fo- the COM
ing season. in which each town along
the line will be attractively written
up. For the information of those de-
string summer homes, it has been de-
cded to admit a limited number of
advertisements of hotels and boarding
houses, and these advertisements will
be placed Immediately following the
reading matter relative to the town in
which they are located.
The demand for such advertisements
has been so great that the company
has decided to modify the policy estab-
lished a year ago and permit a brief
number to appear. 1t is believed the
change will be Il gratifying one to
those who are anxious to secure some
of the increasing patronage along the
line.
The local ticket agent has been sup
piled with specimen pages from this
book showing rates for advertising
and other details in connection with
it, Copies of these may be obtained
upon application. Matter for insertion
in the new book must be sent either to
the general passenger agent or left
with the local ticket agent on or be-
fore the lst day of February.
The local ticket agent will be glad
to answer any inquiries.

lay Of $3.50, which could be saved every
year by the erection of II central fire
station. The interest on the bonds and
the amount which would need to be ap"
proprlated every year for sinking fund
purposes would be considerably less
than this amount, so that. according to
Director Wormser's figures, the whole
matter resolves itself into single busi-
ness proposition. The argument which
he advances in support of his plan is
that it's adoption will insure increased
efficiency at lessened cost
The lease of the Phoenix chemical
house, on upper Lackawanna avenue,
expires in 1904, at which time IL will be
necessary for the city to seek new
quarters for the company. The director
believes that the only proper way out
of this difficulty will be for the city to
purchase a suitable site and erect a
modern fire house of its own. which
would be cheaper in the end than pay
ing rent.
