Sr HERE was small house last
night at the Alcazar when "The
Girl in the Barracks" went on for
IN the first time, and there was a
still smaller house when it ended,
for ''The Girl in the Barracks is very
lively sort Of farce indeed. too lively for
some of the audience to "stand for" 1t
is that kind of thing we agree to call
French, with it's Gallo origin writ large
all over 1t. It is industriously suggestive
from one end to the other, and with the
usual quota OF injured husbands, wicked
soubrettes, shrew1sh wives and gay Lo-
tharios shuffled into the usual risque sit
uations with the customary misplaced IN
genuity. 1t IS pity that the authors
Curt Kraatz and Heinrich Stobizer,
should have wasted their undoubted cleV-
erness on this kind of thing, for it can
hardly "go" anywhere but in France,
where they make them that way. Ger
tainly il is no play for the young girl
who would better go back ta2hH to her c,|5 sam m
the Barracks; and neither, clever as 1t
Is, is it likely TO be popular with the rest
of the high class Of patronage that the
Alcazar enjoys. 80
The Alcazar people do good work with
the play. Mr. Alsop has a congenial role
in Paul Roland. who is let in for the
hardships Of a recruits lot as punish
ways good, and as a Franco-German mil
lionaire chocolate maker. who has

An elaborate presentation of John A.
Stevens strong and affecting play, wife
For Wife, was given at the Central The
ater last evening. The scenic features
were excellently presented and the mem
bers of the company gave performance
that was noteworthy. Willard Black
did line of good work Edward
Walton, and James Corrigan took off the
part Of the French physician with his
customary success. George P. Webster
was clever as the servant George, An
nette Marshall was effective as Edith
Walton and Cza Waldrop was graceful
and dainty as Grace Courtright. Marga-
ret Marshall was clever as the aunt and
Lillian Elliott was acceptable in the small
part cf Martha, the talkative colored

ASTRONOMERS DRINK
DEW IN JAMAICA.

The temporary astronomical station IN
Jamaica maintained by the Harvard OBJ
seryatory during the past winter and
spring is perched high on mountain
side at an altitude of 1000 feet above
sea level. Consequently the Harvard
party In spite Of the numerous rivers
which supply the lower regions, have
found 1t somewhat difficult to obtain
sufficient water for their daily needs.
Professor w. II. Pickering. who re-
Gently made flying visit to Cambridge
to arrange for the publication OF a new
atlas of the moon, the Photographic
work for which has been done from the
Jamaica station, tells in interesting
story of the life at the island obserya-
tory. His chief supply of water was
obtained by means of large concrete
platform, or barbecue, as 1t Is called,
commonly used for drying coffee and
allspice, from which the occasional rain
fall was conducted to concrete tanks.
Naturally, when there had been no rain
for month or more, the water in these
tanks became stale and unpleasant 1t
happens, however, that in the noun
tains the dew is very heavy and by
rigging cutters beneath the caves of the
iron rooted observatory building this
dewfall could be collected in pals for
drinking purposesSometime three gal
Ions of dew could be collected in a sim
gle night and was drunk by the astron-
omers as great luxury.
The telescope by means OF which Pro-
lessor Pickering secured the photo
graphs of the moon to illustrate his
new atlas is peculiar from the fact that
1t is firmly fixed In one position. point
ing down hill. This arrangement, how
ever, does not seem so strange when
one learns that beneath the lower end
of the telescope is large mirror, which
can be moved to throw any portion OF
the heavens within the field of vision.
The tube of the telescope is 1876 feet long
and Is made Of wire netting and build
ers' paper surrounding wooden frame
work. The reflection of a heavenly
body is thrown. by the mirror through
a large lens and up the tube to the eye
OF the observer or upon sensitive
photographic plate. While the tube re-

the one who haunts the impetuous
rocky moorland and mountain streams
and the other who effects rather the
duller streams of the southern and mid
land districts. The pursuit is beautiful
in its way. the former, perhaps, sees
nature in its wider and more unadorn-
ed garb, and in most cases has no need
to ask for or obtain permission;
though unfortunately this privilege,
which formerly was very generally en-
joyed by the public in the north and
in Ireland and Wales, is now being
rapidly curtailed, and stream after
stream, lock after lock. is year by year
shut up and forbidden by the public.
This is greatly to be regretted, and in
many instances the public has de-
served it. 1t is singular thing that
while Englishmen are at home at SER
ious business custom they have won
derful respect for property and its
rights. They recognize the laws OF
trespass and damage to the
uttermost; but once put themselves
into shooting coat and a wide-awake,
thick shoes, and a generally free and
easy costume, and their notions of the
rights of meum and tuum become as
free and easy as their clothes, and 1t
is quite marvellous what lot or really
wanton mischief they can do, and the
nuisance they can do, and the nuisance
they can make of themselves. No one
who has not lived in tourist track can
form any idea of this, and, as regards
the streams, "all's fish that comes to
net" and nothing in season or out OF
season, big or little, comes amiss, nor
any mode of fishing either. The re-
suit is that the streams are reduced to
a very low ebb in the number and size
of fish, where they are free to the pub
lie and at all easily approachable. Still
there are localities yet where the wan
dering angler can, If he be skilled in
the use of his weapons, and the day
and water favor him, drag from the
streams respectable creel of trout.
though it is harder and harder to do
every year that passes, and to carry it
through he has to resort to more and
more to bait fishing and to trust less
and less to the artificial fly. But sup
posing all to be fairly satisfactory, a
scramble up some well plenished burn,
away up among the wild hills which
border the valleys on the upper part
of the Tweed say, is delightful way
in passing the day; and notwithstand-
ing the bulk of your trout will hardly
run three or four to the pound, with
an odd FOUNDER or two, and half
FOUNDER now and then, the constant
change, the heavenly air, SO soft and
yet SO bracing. the entire surroundings
of scenery and wild life well repay
one for the fatigue, even though a four
or FIVE mile walk over the hills to ones,
INN after the sport is over should be-
the wind-up.

NV Largest Grizzly.

During my annual bear hunt in the
spring of 1886 | CHANGED to camp one
night near the thoroughbred horse
ranch of Engleman & McRoberts,
which is located at the foot OF the
Great West Gallatin mountains, TWEEN
tv-fiye miles southwest of Bozeman.
After caring for the horses, pitching

the ranch. We had a social game OF

as | neared the gathering horse and
carriage issued from 1t, the driver |
recognized as Mr. l.. ID. Boyton, of
Green's Bridge. When Mr.. Boyton saw
me he pulled up his horse and putting
his hand under the carriage seat pro-
duced and held up to view a monster
black bass of the small mouthed spe-
cies. In reply to my inquiry he said
that the bass weighed eight and three
quarter pounds, and had been weighed
by people that he named and that l
knew. Then he drove on, leaving be-
hind only the image Of the great fish
in my minds eye.
Proceeding up the street to verify
the weight of the bass, met Mr.. Chas.
H. Hitchcock, who asked If | had
weighed the fish, and If not, why not.
Two hours would take me to Green's
Bridge and back. allowing time to
weigh the bass and get its pedigree;
therefore, Mr. Hitchcock and | took
car and were duly delivered at our des-
tination, where the bass was found on
exhibition and intact. | put the big
fellow ON set of counter scales and he
balanced nine pounds. But | found
that the scales did not balance. Other
scales were produced and tested, and
at eight pounds and ten ounces tho
bass in the scoop balanced the scale
beam. From nose to joining of caudal,
measuring with tape, following the
contour of the body, the distance was
IS inches; to fork in cadual 24h inches,
to extremity of cadual 20 inches. The
girth was 1871 inches.
| said to Mr.. Boyton that / would
like to see the fish opened and again
weighed, to which he at once con-
scented. ! cut it open took out the
gills and viscera, and again weighed
it, when the scales marked pounds
and ounces. The gills and viscera
weighed one pound and half ounce, and
the missing ounce and half of weight
for the shrinkage between the dressed
and undressed fish will be seen to have
been one pound and two ounces, con-
sisted of lost blood and bits of inten-
tines rubbed out when washing the
abdominal cavity. In the stomach was
a partly digested yellow perch which in
that condition weighed about five
ounces. | have been thus particular
about the evisceration and weighed
before and after the operation, because
it has been matter of dispute how
much big bass loses by dressing. l
have the records of a number of bass
dressed and undressed. and the shrink
age is less than is generally supposed.
This giant bass was caught in Long
Pond (Glen Lake., four miles from this
village, with perch bait.

horse corral. perhaps of getting
young colt for breakfast; but being
driven off by the stations he had
meandered up the mountain side to the
heavy timber in defiance of both hun
ter and ranchmen. But alas for old
bruin. he was monarch of all he sur
veyed' by night, while l claimed the
honors of the day.
When passing the ranch | asked my
friend to join me in the chase, which -4e
did willingly until the trail got hot
and the snow too deep to ride our
horses longer; but when ! assured him
that we wouldn't have to follow the
trail much longer before finding the
end of it. he concluded to stay with me
and see the bear fight. Taking off my
suspenders, | tied them around. the
dogs neck so as to hold him from 60
ing ahead and eating the bear up be-
fore | could get shot at him. We ad-
vanced cautiously until we came to
bed the bear had just left, when the
dog discovered he had missed his call
ing and went back to watch the horses
until we should come.
Now everything was clear for us to
go on, we being rid OF the dog and the
wind blowing from the bear towards
us. We had not gone many steps when
we found another bed { or place where
the bear had laid DOWN. and still an
other, each one being fresher than the
last.
Turning to see if my partner in the
hunt was as cool and collected as he
would be in handling a wild broncho.
| saw that he had his gun full cooked
and pointed nearly toward me. See
ing this, and knowing that monster
grizzly was on the other side OF me,
made we wish | was with the dog
watching the horse. But here the
chase ended. for not ten steps away was
the object of our quest. AS he raised
his head above the brush bullet from
my 1915 Winchester caught him in
the lower part of the brain, which
crazed him, whereupon he struck and
b., at everything in reach OF him.
When he appeared again, within ten
feet of me, sent another bullet crash
ing through his brain and laid him out
forever. Thus ended the career of one
of the largest grizzlies ever killed in
the Rocky mountains. The weight of
the animal was variously estimated at
from 1,200 to 1,400 pounds. His skin
measured 9 feet inches from tip to
tip. and is owned by Mr.. John E. Bur-
ton. of Lake Geneva, Wis.
