COMING ATTRACTION
At THE MANAGER

Farce comedy holds the boards al
the Denver this week, says the Times
Not the risque. Frenchy, but the clean
and wholesome kind.
"A White Elephant pleased large
and ~appreciative audiences, both yes
terday afternoon and evening. There
is little plot to the comedy. but what
of that? It's not needed When the
leading part is handled by such talent
ed artists as John Pringle and Frances
Wayne. The former as Mr.. Slippery
Elm, an honest lawyer. who never
takes a bribe-a woman hater who
marries for money n gets a white
elephant" was at his best. He never
let an opportunity slip to amuse the
tinuous roar from the rise till the fall
of the curtain.
Miss Wayne, as a deserted and EN-.
Uttered woman seeking consolation
was an excellent foil, getting a full ap
probation Of the part she enacted. The
other members worthy of mention are
Miss Granville as the maiden Of uncer
tain age-the white elephant-Misl
Lorton as Miss Flossy Gush, and Allen
Kelly as an actor who will see better
days.
The comedy, which was interpreted
! with several catchy songs, was proceed

STRANGE GRAVEYARD LIGHTS.
Will-o'-the-Wisp Badly Frightens
Watchers in a Cemetery.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
This community is wrought up to high
pitch of excitement by strange lights which
fit nightly between the old and new Epis-
pal cemeteries. Superstitious persons be-
lieve them to be warnings of some impend-
ing calamity There are residents who de-
clare that similar lights were seen just
prior to the flood of 1889 and the smallpox
epidemic of 1894.
On Wednesday night Mrs, Shoemaker, an
aged resident, was returning to her home
|. after spending the evening with neighbor,
when. nearing a vault in the old cemetery,
she was startled at seeing a brilliant red
ligat leave the vault, move slowly across
the street directly in front of her and lose
itself in the new cemetery Badly fright
ened, she made rapid strides for home, but
had taken only a few steps when she again
saw the same light some distance away on
a hill. This time 1t was waved up and
down IN such manner as trainmen give
signals. Then 1t disappeared. Before she
was half way home Mrs. Shoemaker fell
and rolled Into the gutter. When regaining
her feet and senses she saw the same light
apparently hanging in the middle of the
street, only a few feet from her. Almost
frantic, she ran, screaming, to the house of
a neighbor, where she recounted her eXpe-
rence. Thinking she was the victim of
mlschievous boys FRANKS her friends paid
little attention to the matter.
Thursday morning the story of the lights
grew like wildfire. and before noon several
hundred persons had visited the scene. That
night three or four prominent residents sta
toned themselves near the cemeteries to
watch the lights. but were so badly fright
ened by repetition Of the scenes Of the
previous night that they forgot what they
had assembled for. The following night
and last night the same antics were wit
messed by hundreds of persons, who had
gathered from all parts of the town. but
before any attempt could be made at cap
ture the lights would vanish, and their
source remains mystery.
Although no grasses or phosphoric min
erals are known to exist in this locality, ex-
Sheriff William Ryan and other prominent
citizens say they have seen these lights at
various times, and that all former efforts
to gain clue to their origin have proved
futile.

MANCHURIA AEvAsT LAND.

The most populous province of Manchu-
ria is that of Laotung,. which is penetrated
by the branch railway from Hardin to Port
Arthur. For distance of 400 miles, ex-
tending from the Sungari river to New
Chwang. the railroad passes through a
level well-watered region, densely crowded
with population and under the highest state
of cultivation.
The total population of Manchuria is va
riously estimated from 100000 to %. OO0,-
600, but there seems little doubt that Lao
tung also has population of as much as
12,oOO,OOO, and that the total cannot b.
much less than 2O,0OO,OOO. These, however,

COLE AS A LOCAL SPORT.
A Game for Men and Women A,
Ancient Pastime.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
While the game Of golf can boast of an
antiquity which throws most sports In the
shade, and while 1t has long been the fav-
orite amusement Of many of Great Brit
aims ablest statesmen. its American adop-
ton is of comparatively recent date A few
years ago there were not dozen golf links
in the whole country, and nearly all tn
patrons of those were Englishmeu or
Scotchmen who had found a home in this
land. Now no country club Is considered
complete without Its links. There are thou
sands of them under private ownership. and
nearly every village or town is supplied
with one or more. The suburbs of every
large city are dotted with them and the
number of players, increasing with eacn
season, has passed from mere handful to
thousands, including the young ana old Of
both sexes
The opening Of the fall tournament of
the Golf Association of Maryland and the
District of Columbia yesterday gave evil
dence of the increase in popularity Of the
game in this part of the country Members
of five clubs taking part in the meet
three Of them made up Of Baltimore play
ers. the other two of Washington enthusi-
asts. All of these clubs are successful or
ganiZa tons, with large membership and
while a comparatively small number be-
come sufficiently expert to enter a tcurna-
ment, yet all take an interest in these
tests of skill. and rejoice when representa-
tives of the clubs to which they belong car
ry off the honors.
Golf Is a game women can play Ind some
OF them can play it well, A number Of them
become famous for their skill on the links,
and the struggle for the American cham
pionship honors among women becomes
more and more interesting every year The
west has developed some remarkable play
ers. and the east no longer finds it easy TO
keep at the top in the national contests. A
number of expert English players have Wis
tied this country and taught Americans a
few things they needed to know about the
game. for the English and Scotch sill keep
in the lead in golf as they do in cricket
Golf has no faint of professionalism is a
game for ladies and gentlemen has its
picturesque features, permits of the wear
ing of costumes which are comfortable as
well as Kaleidoscope in color and taking
1t all In all, has as many charms IS any
sport can possibly boast. It has taken a
hrm mold here, and counts among its devo-
tees large number of Baltiln ores mCst
active, successful and progressive business
and professional men.

We hear much of the phenomenal sue
cesses Of men, who, with capital and great
organizing ability, go into some enterprise
on large scale. Too seldom do we hear of
the equally gratifying success of the man
OF moderate acres. The good peach grower.
however. whether his acres are many or
few, Is an exceptional man. He is alert.
thorough-going. determined to succeed, and
an expert salesman. He handles risky
crop. It is perishahle product and must
be sold quickly. The market is tickle.
which means that he must take every adj
vantage OF its moods and must tempt his
customer by ratty packages and gain his
confidence By sterling honesty.
