ton OF 'Spartacus" by Mr. John Crit

production as that last night, and should
certainly be more liberal in their appre-

liam A. Brady and Joseph Grismer's
production, "a Stranger il Strange
aLnd" This play kept New York laugh
ing for tenw eaks at the Manhattan
theater. The play is from the joint ail-
thorshiD Of Sidney Wilmer and Walter
vincent The scene is laid in Eng gland,
and the story is suggested by the gnor-
anca Of the upper English classes con-
corning the topography of America. The
wild and erring young scion Of British
family has been going the pace bit too
rapidly in his own country, so his fam
lily have sent him to America in the
idea Of locating on a ranch for three
years. But this plan does not prove con-
genial to him and he settles IN New
York. and after time writes home, tell
ing thrilling stories Of ranch life and en-
counters with redskins and cowboys on
his ranch near Buffalo. \. 7. His uncle,
however, incidently learns the truth,
and desiring 10 save him from the family
wrath, pens a letter advising him to
come hack with an Indian and a lot of
blood-curdling tales committed to men,
DRY. OF course, the letter misoarrdes,
and ack arrives home without the Indian.
To avoid exposure a sutton for his SIS
ter's hand, in the person Of Arthur Lowe
is made to dress as a savage. Then a
quack doctor from the western United
States appears with a true Indian, while
a detective appears on the scene and
DISCUSSES himself as a third Indian. Fin
ally Jack marries the American heiress,
who is quite won by his picturesque
exaggeration, the aunt and cousin are
propriated and the sister at last wins her
lover. An exceptionally strong cast, it
is said. has been engaged to interpret the
various characters.

Some days ago the King and queen

thirsty Perceiving an old woman near

quested her to give him little milk.
The peasant, ignorant Of the quality

wa. i. at your house." continued the
King. That yes," replied the old wo-
man. Gould you get some for me?"
'If you would keep my COW while l
went for it." Agreed" replied Victor
Emmanuel in the most serious fashion
in the world. At the end OF ten min
utes the old woman returned with
bowl of fresh water. But how does IT
happen" demanded the King, that
there are SO few people in the coun-
try?" "They have all gone down to
the chateau to see the King the Queen
and the little Princess. 1t is only we
old ones that one leaves at the house
and who will never see them. But
you see them, my worthy woman" re-
piled the King, giving her new gold
piece. 1--WE are the King and Queen"
The peasant woman began to tremble
and in despairing voice cried: Par
don me, Sire, 1 did not know" The
Queen had all the trouble in the world
to calm the poor woman, who kept
repeating: "To think that l have given
my COW to guard to the King!"

in service between Omaha and Chicago.

arrives at the transfer depot at 1856 a. m.
For several years past the Postoffice de-
partment's figures have shown that of all
the trans continental mail passing through
Omaha, ~ per cent. has been westbound
and only % per cent. eastbound. In recent
wears this condition of affairs has been
gradually changing, as direct result of
the vests great prosperity and the largely
increased mails from the Orient, 30 that
these figures are not correct now. The in

SHADOWS ON THE COLUMNS.
supsrstitious People Study sllhouettes
at the White House.


at the White House.
The shooting of President Mckinley
recalls to superstitious minds the
shadows that have appeared in recent
years on the large columns of the
north or main porch Of the White
House, says the Washington Star. Dur
ing the winter months these shadows
are more distinct than in other months
and appear near the top of the
columns around the midday hours
1t is recalled now that last fall
a shadow appeared that had never
been seen on the column before. 1t
required no effort of the Imagination
to recognize it as a human forearm
and hand, with bent finger upheld in
the attitude of warning. 1t appeared
and disappeared each day for fort
night or more. Some time after this
when the suns position had changed,
shadow Of nondescript form appeared
on the great pillar at the extreme
northwest corner of the portico. 1t
soon took on definite shape and at l
o'clock in the afternoon represented
the face and shoulders OF President
Mckinley in profile. The silhoutte
was SO striking as to attract the at
tention Of many people, who remarked
that more correct profile drawing
could hardly be made by an artist. The
likeness was not a correct one for
more than few minutes and then it
changed with the altering position OF
the sun, and ten minutes later had as
sumed a remarkably perfect likeness
Of the late Queen Victoria, ever to an
object on the head resembling crown.
Sometimes the shadows present the
bent form of an old woman. with one
hand resting on an object resembling
spinning wheel.
