Another king has been unkinged. An
other Ak-Sar-Ben rules and ladies Of the
court are smiled upon by yet another queen.
And there's music in the air. The last
king has "Penfolded his tent like the
Arabs, and as silently stole away" and the
present king is. to put It mildly, no small
Fry.

Ben is the eighth king. and therefore the

ber). in this reign. / say, there is q sound
OF music In the air. and the prospects are
that there will be a return to the peaceful
arts, and to the blessed inspiration Of good
music.

at its time. because In sooth. as Lib Ten
neb says, that prince OF philosophers OF

The romance Of whaling has for the most
part disappeared with the abandonment OF
the old fashion of fighting the monster OF
the deep from rowboats, which a bow would
annihilate or a fouling Of the line would
draw down to destruction. The modern
whaling boat is a steamer ninety or ono
hundred feet long and capable OF making
twelve knots an hour. and the harpoon cope
is not a thin line, but a tive-inc1 he,np
cable, controlled by a series of steam reels,
so that the whale can be played as an
angler plays a trout. When the whale
goes ahead the engine is reversed. though
at that the steamer is sometimes towed for
The harpoon is shot from a gun and is ex-
plosive, besides having four fangs, so that
they prey is not likely to escape. When
a whale is killed air is pumped into the
carcass for two hours to keep it aHoat.
A writer who describes in an English maya
zine a cruise in Kveldulf, one Of the
modern whalers, tells of a fight with a Llue
whale, a rare species, which reaches a
length Of ninety feet and is worth from
81 900 to $500. The next catch was a
fin whale, OF which the writer says:
Down, down, down he went, tearing nearly
every foot Of the 120-fathom cable. The
brakes were applied with gradually in
creasing pressure, and as the rush was
checked Kveldulf began to forge through
the water. The engines were put half
speed .%astern. and then full, yet 20 still
moved ahead, and every moment I expected
the cable to part, as It not infreunently
does. But the good hemp held, and for
half an hour the tug-of-war went on"

Miss Mary Munchon, the Omaha singer

a most remarkable set of facts. More
cases OF appendicitis are treated there

A dog, which in its fatal sickness dug its
own grave and crawled into It, is mourned
by the family OF c.. NJ. Lee. Providence, r.
I. The dog was a cocker spaniel and a
great pet. It had been an important menl-
Der Of the family for some time.
A week or two ago the dog was taken
sick. During its sickness it disappeared.
The premises where it had lived, and later
all Elmwood avenue, were searched without
avail for the dog. The fact that It was i'll
when it disappeared increased the distress
Of the family and an advertisement offering
a reward for the dogs return. dead or alive,
was inserted.
Last Friday the dogs body was found be-
meath the doorsteps OF Mr.. Lees house in
a hole which 1t had evidently dug itself
as a grave. The same place had previously
been explored, but the body was so covered
with dirt that It escaped observation. II
is unnecessary TO add that the lamented
spaniel was given a more ceremonious
burial.

Mr., Walker Whitoside will be seen at the

matinee, in q repertory Of Shakesperian
plays. The designs for the costumes and
gowns were especially imported from Lon
don. where they were drawn from plates
now in the British museum. New incl
dental music has been composed especially
for this production. The bill for Tuesday
evening will be Hamlet" The Merchant
Of Venice" will be presented at the matinee
Wednesday and Richard III" on Wednesday
evening.
THE Wizard OF o." the new musical
extravaganza which has been running all
summer In Chicago, will be seen at the
Boyd for three night. October 8. 10 and IL.
with matinee Saturday. The new spectacle
abounds in wonderful stage effects. One
marvel Of stage craft in The Wizard OF
OF" is the transformation at the end Of
the first act, in which a field Of poppy
flowers in full bloom are metamorphosed
through a change OF seasons from summer
to winter, This novel transformation is
the invention Of sage manager Julian
Mitchell, whose reputation as the producer
OF all the burlesques and extravaganzas at
Weber & Fields. New York City, guarantees
that THE Wizard OF o." will be something
unique and enchanting.
Eight acts represent q nicely adjusted
and varied bill which opens a week at the
OTpheum, with matinee and evening per
formRnce today. First on the list comes
Rapoli, a German juggler. imported by the
orpheum Circuit company. He performs
a great variety OF tricks. some being OF
the heavy weight kind that require remark
able strength. such. for instance, as spin
ming. balancing and juggling a large wagon
wheel that weighs a hundred pounds. The
most familiar name on the program is
Carroll Johnson. the Beau Brummel OF
minstrelsy, who has been listed with the
successful stars OF the burnt cork art for
years. His transition into vaudeville has
been accompanied with undiminished favor.
He usually manages to bring with him some
new yarns and songs and this visit will
probably be no exception to the rule. He
will again deliver his recitation on . prize
light which has everywhere made a hit.
