AT THE CASINO
Old Favorites Please New Audiences, at
the Summer Theatre,

.olO EdVOTIteS riedSe view AuOtenCeS, at
the Summer Theatre.
Crawford and Stanley, old favorites
with the patrons of vaudeville in Rich
nond, came in for most Of the honors
at the Casino last night. They closed
the bill and held the people in their seatk
until the very end, something that
final act cannot always do. Crawford han.
dies the piano in the toughest kind OF
manner. He slaps it, kicks it, and jumps
on top of it. If he really gave the in
strument whack with an axe, as ne
makes bluff of doing, no one would be-
surprised. But with all this, Crawford
gets some lively rag-ume music out of
the ill-treated instrument. Whoever owns
the piano. however, ought to look after
it. Stanley can pat his feet upon the
floor equally as we'll as his partner runs
his fingers over the piano keys. There
is music in Stanley's feet, if you only
have an ear for it.
Arthur Borani is an acrobat What he
does outside Of that particular line of
work is merely to fill in the time which
he has to make in order to draw his
salary. The finish of the act made ~peo-
pie forget that he had tried to do any
thing else. -.
Frank Gardiner and Lottie Vincent pre-

in responding to an encore, paid Rich
mond quite a double compliment when
he said that wehenver he had a new act
he came down Hereto put it on, and that
if it proved "good" here It was good any
where. It was only another way Of
saying that he tried it on the dog, though
Gardiner probably didn't so intend it.
Loo Bigger and Minnie Dreher would
do well to sing something in rag-tme,
or MARBLE coon ditty, or do any sort
Of vocal gymnastics in that line. They
made hit here two years ago, and If
I remember it correctly, they got their
nccores by singing something that had
a swing to it. and allowed the introduce
ton of few cake-walk steps.
Anyway, the encores were not very
hearty last night Somehow, the audi
ence didn't give them the same old
mile" A change in the selections might
wake the audience up.
The York<Herbert trio open the bill
with an act that is so poor that there is
nothing to say of it. 1t is just bad. a
little seven7Vear-oId boy does a few hand
stands and other gymnastic feats, for
.v.ich he received goodly share of ap-
plause, which he merited. He is only
a very small boy, and no one would have
the heart not to give him all that was
coming to him.
The bill will continue through the week.
with the usual Wednesday and Saturday
matinee.

N. L. Chew, of Indiana, assistant
auditor of the treasury for the post
Office department. obtained his posi-
ton because of his name. The fact is
that the assistant auditor of the treas
ury department for the postofiice de-
partment spends from 40 to so days
every quarter signing his name to war
rants. He signs at the rate of 5000 or
5000 a day. 1t can readily be seen
that Mr.. Chew can earn more money
for the government by signing his
name than could Edgar D. Crumpack-

the job because he had short name.

Rules of Behavior.

When a boy George Washington
compiled book of rules on behavior.
The following are some of them.
Every action in company ought to
be with some sign of respect to those
present.
Be no flatterer, neither play with
anyone that delights not to be played
with.
Let your discourse with men of
business be short and comprehensive
Undertake not to. teach your equal
in the art himself processes; it savors
of arrogancy.
When you speak Of God or his attri-
butes let it be seriously, in reverence.
Honor and obey your natural parents
though they be poor.
Undertake not what you cannot per-
form, but be careful to keep your
promise.
When a man does all he can, though
it succeeds not well, blame not him
that did it.
Associate yourselves with men OF
good quality, If you esteem your own
reputation, for it is better to be alone
than in bad company.

In the Philadelphia Zoo there are
five little mongooses, which attract
much attention because of their pecu-
liar habits. a few years ago a large
number of these creatures were
brought over from India to some of
the West Indies to destroy the rats,
which were very numerous on the
islands. They did the work expected
of them, but also great deal more.
They soon left some OF the isles en-
tirely without birds or fowls. The
mongoose became a bigger nuisance
than the rats were.
The mongoose is about the size of 4
cat, with long, slender body, some
what like weasel's. 1t is easily tam
ed and is kept in many Hindu houses
to rid them of snakes, rats, mice and
other vermin. 1t fearlessly attacks
and kills the terrible cobra, and has
been said to avoid death from snake
bite by eating q certain herb which
counteracts the poison, but really pro-
tects itself by the extreme quickness
Of its movements. The ichneumon, or
Egyptian mongoose, Is held high in
public regard because it destroys
great numbers of crocodile eggs.

Grant Nevor Hesitated.

The life of Gen. Grant should be
read by every boy of the rising genera
ton. So many opportunities present
ed themselves for him to decide quick
ly between right and wrong, and he
never hesitated to choose the right.
One instance was at the time he was
q visitor at the French capital.
The president of the republic as a
special token Of respect invited Gen.
Grant to place on the grand stand to
witness the great racing which oc-
ours in that country on Sunday. 1t is
considered a discourteous act to de-
cline such an invitation from the head
official of the republic Such a thing
had never been heard of, but Gen.
Grant, in a polite note, declined the
honor, and said to the French presi-
dent: "Tt is not in accordance with
the custom of my country or with the
spirit of my religion to spend Sunday
in that way" And when Sabbath
came that great hero found his way
to the American chapel, where he was
one of it's quiet worshipers.

OUR BEET CUSTOMER.
A Revolution in Our Trade With Great
Britain.

1t is in Great Britain that we find
in its fullest development the effect
OF the American commercial invasion
of the worlds markets. 1t is true that
American competition has been making
notable inroads into the commerce OF
all the countries in Europe. But i'm
portant as is the effect which has been
produced upon commercial conditions
in the Continental countries, that re-
suit is almost insignificant when com
pared with the consequence of this
competition in Great Britain. From the
beginning of our history England has
formed our most important market,
and for two generations at least we
have been the largest customers for
English products. In the last half
dozen years a change has taken place
in the trade balance between the two
nations, which is, perhaps the most
notable single commercial event to be
recorded in the last decade. We have
been steadily reducing our purchases
from the mother-country; we have been
making astounding increases in our
sales to her. Comparing, for instance.
the change which has taken place in
the trade movement between the two
nations in the last half-doZen years, we
see that our annual purchases from the
United Kingdom have dropped $4,000.
600, standing last year at $113,OOO,
600. In the same period cur sales to
Great Britain nearly doubled, going
up from $3S7 100000 in 1895 to S631,
100000 last year. This change in the
annual trade balance, showing for
us more favorable total by $200,000
900 than we had six years ago, is a
change of such import as can only
mean revolutionary transformation in
the industrial life of the two nations.
These figures are so significant that
they need to be dwclt on somewhat,
to fix in the mind their Importance.
Six years ago We sold to Great Britain
S22S,000,000 more than we bought.
Last year we sold to her $4SS, 100000
more than our purchases. In every
business day last year we sent to
her $1,500,000 more than we bought
For every dollars worth Of goods we
bought we sold her four dollars and
forty-one cents worth of our products.

Invasion CT Europe" by Frank A.

Samoa's Official Chaperon.

The chaperon is becoming extinct

she should be the daughter of chief
Her house is provided for her by the
village and she is surrounded by a
court of native girls. No man who
lives in the village is allowed to en-
ter the sacred precincts, and the tau
pou goes nowhere without an elderly
woman. If the taupou resigns her Of

damsel of high degree.
