FINE RINGS PRESENTED.
incident'of the Performance Not on
the Bills.
Messrs. Dan Quinlan and Jimmie Wall
Remembered by Friend.

ere is perhaps no one who has an
brtunity TO enjoy the holidays less
n those on tho stage. who live
fgely for the entertainment and
musement Of others. Christmas
|sually finds them far away from
home, working as hard as ever, and
many OF them do not get 10 spend
!. the holidays with their families for
years on a stretch. As result they
always appreciate any unusual pleas
ure on Christmas, and IL Messrs. Dan
Quinlsn and Jimmy Wall, the minstrel
men. did not appreciate the gifts they
received yesterday their friends were
certainly badly fooled.
These two popular entertainers,
who for years were with AL G. Field
this year have their own troupe, and
their first season is proving very sue
cessful in every way. They are
well known in Paducsh, and have
been coming hero nearly every season
for many years. One of their great.
est admirers and staunobest friends
is mickey" Holland Of Pine Bluff,
ART. he is manager of the opera
house there and q prominent Elk, and
has met the two men every season
since they started on the road. Man.
ager Holland Is one Of the best
known characters Of the South, and
IL . jovial, whole.souled fellow who
Is always plsnning to make things
pleasant foT some one else.
This Christmas no hit ON the plan
Of sending his two friends, Messrs.
Quinlan and Wall, handsome gold
rings. He had them made, suitably
engraved and sent to them here. They
arrived yesterday afternoon.
Just before the evening performance
began Exalted Ruler VIM. Kraus, of
the Psduoah lodge of Elks. accompa.
MED by Prot. II. o. Farnham, Secreta-
~ T. II. Baird, Mr.. Fred Heilbron
>rnd Capt. Egan, went behind the
Genes and had the two gentlemen
,ailed out. With few appropriate
. words the rings were presented and
GRACEFULLY accepted by Messrs. Quin-
Ian and Wall, VINO wore them during
the performance and cracked several
Jokes about them.
The show was In Pine Huff only a
short time ago, but Manager Holland
decided to wait until Christmas to
give the rings. IL was intended to
present the rings during the perform
Iance last night, but subsequently
he other plan was adopted.

HE KEPT HIS WORD.


Mlsslonary's Vow May Have Been
Rash, but Il Was Adhered To.
From an anecdote told by VIM. Ele-
roy Curtis In his Yankees Of the
East" 1t may be inferred that the at
titude of the small boy toward fence
is the same in Japan as In other
countries.
Mr.. Gobel, the missionary. built him
self a modern house on what is known
as The Bluff." south Of Yokohama,
and surrounded his grounds with the
first fence that was ever built In that
part OF the world. II was made Of
bamboo palings. and the boys Of the
neighborhood used to annoy the good
missionary greatly by rafting sticks
against II as they ran along the street.
The British admiral lived Just above
him, and had a very natty Tommy
Atkins for an orderly. He wore little
round cap on the northeast corner of
his head. and always carried a little
cane of rattan in his hand. One morn
ing, having been sent with a message.
he appeared before the admiral with
his face bruised and his uniform bat
tered and torn and covered with dust.
Mercy on usl" exclaimed the ad-
miral, In establishment at the spec
tacle. What has happened to your"
Il beg your parding, sir" replied
4 ommy, "but as was coming along

the missionary's fence, sir, e come

the 'ide of the next man who did that,

Humorous Incidents Connected With
the "Field Of Honor"
II the oldtime duels we're always
disgraceful and sometimes fatal, they
had the merit, like all other human
things full of humor error. Of being
fruitful in good jokes. Michael Mac
Donaugh, in his book on Irish Life
and Character" gives some cases in
which humor, from within or with
out, came to the rescue Of would-be
duelists.
A witty Dublin barrister was con-
suited by physician as to calling out
a man who had insulted him.
Take my advice" said the lawyer,
"and instead of calling him out, get
him to call you in. and have your re-
yenge in that way. 1t will be more
secure and certain"
An upstart squire went to an old
squire for advice as to sending a chal-
lenge.
'Healy OF Loughlinstown," said he
has threatened to pull my nose when
ever he meets me. What would you
advise me to do?"
Has he really used that threat?"
asked the squire.
He has"
well" said the squire. "I1l tell
you what to do. Soap your nose well
and it will slip through his fingers"
Perhaps the most contemptuous dec
lination Of a challenge was that of an
Irish gentleman of the old school.
Fight with him!" he exclaimed. 81
would rather so to my grave without
fight"

FOR a WORTHY CAUSE.
How Some People Rally to Support OF

That the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION. as an agency of the church. is
getting a tremendous hold and proving
worthy of large gifts, is evidenced by the
way philanthropic men and women are
giving. Only few days ago Miss Laura
Sanford, of Erie, Pa. gave two magnifi-
cent lots, which are to be sold and the
proceeds added to the building fund OF
the Erie Association. Dayton, Ohio, is
erecting its third building. and magnffi-
cent one it will be. equipped with store
rooms. large auditorium. seating over
two thousand, and about hundred
rooms, which will be rented to young
men There will also be large restau-
cant in the building. News has just been
received that Miss Mary B. Eaker has
beuueathed to the association her old
home estate on the corner Of Third and
Ludlow Streets, worth 100000. adding
this sentence to the bequest: Much Of
nv life has been spent in this home,
and I gladly give it to this purpose. be-
lieving that It could be consecrated to
no better use. and that the people Of
Dayton will build with it suitable home
for our young men"
Some private requests are made In the
will after which the residue Is to be
equally divided between the Young Mems
and Young woman's Christian Associa-
lions for their endowment fund and ex-
pensss. Thirty-three additional feet Of
property have been purchased for this
building, and the Dayton Association Will
have lot 1872 by 221 for their magnificent
building Dayton is beautiful city In
central Ohio, with large industrial life.

and workingrnen. It has population Of
5000, and spends annually for the work
of the Young Mems Christian Association
$4,000, magnificent investment in the

The citizens Of Richmond are at the
present tine asked to raise $1,000 more
to complete the $4,000 needed to pay

FIRST BALLOON ASCENSION.
Professor Grew Takes Trip From
West End Park.

West End Park. which was to have
opened with balloon ascension and other
features last Saturday afternoon, had
to dispense with the former in view Of the
storm. which made the imitation of the
monster balloon an impossibility. Pro-
fessor Crew. however, made the ascent
yesterday afternoon and his career through
space was watched with intense interest
by hundreds Of people.
The ascent was not sensational in any
way, and Mr.. Crew appeared to enjoy
q very pleasant trip coming and going.
When he first cut loose from the balloon
he seemed to drop fully quarter of the
distance to the ground before his para
chute opened. but after that he sailed
serenely and very comfortably to the
ground and alighted on his feet in the
neighborhood Of the Auditorium.
The Natatorium was opened Saturday
and in spite Of the cool weather, was we'll
patronized on Sunday and yesterday. The
Rathskeller IS now fully equipped as
restaurant and dinners or meals of any
sort can be ordered there on short no.
