The Broadway Theatre.

There is enough of entertainment
OF almost every character in Klaw s.
Erlanger's production of - The Sleep
ing Beauty and the Beast at the
Broadway Theatre to satisfy the most
extravaganza desires
Among the many novel special fea-
lures is a very timely satire on the
prevailing automobiling craze. Harry
Bulger as the liking, Charles J. Ross
as the Queen and Joseph Cawthorne
as the nurse, awake from the hun
dred years sleep into which King
Bardout's court falls as the result of
the witch's spell. They find the king
dom has become repu bile during
their nap and that the crown jewels
are looked up in the state museum.
They arrive at the museum at night
in an automobile to secure the jewels
through burglary. Obtaining them
they board the automobile to start
away when something occurs to
the mechanism They climb out, don
blacksmith's aprons and from some
mysterious recess in the machine take
out hammers, bellows and a plumb
er's soldering apparatus. Their
efforts at repairs are wonderful to
behold.
Finally, having got their automo-
bile in order, they get in and turn
the lever to start it. There is ter
riffic explosion and the machine is
blown to pieces. A funnier satire on
the adventures of the automobiles
cannot be imagined. Those who have
labored under the impression that
The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast
is solely fairy story and EXPOSE
tion of scenery have been most plea
sanity disappointed. The comedy and
comic incidents alone make it most
entertaining amusement without CON
sideration of its romantic story and
display of the most gorgeous scenery
of the times imaginable.

SINGULAR MAxlMS.
Old Time Rules For the Table by the
German Poet Won Zirkier.

Old Time Rules For the Table by the
German Poet Won Zirlxier.
That our ancestors were not so well
managed as we are is evident from the
following rules, which were laid down
by Tommasin von Zirkler. a German
poet, in regard to the conduct of host
and his guest at dinner party. These
singular maxims were recently I'M
earthed and have now been reprinted:
every host should take care that
his guests have enough to eat and that
they are not served with dishes that
they do not want. In return the guests
should behave properly and should be
satisfied with whatever is placed be-
fore them
"a guest should not eat all his bread
before the first dishes are served, neil
Their should he eat with both hands nor
drink nor talk when his mouth is full
at is not polite to turn toward ones
neighbor and to offer him winecup
from which one is still drinking.
'sOne should not eat greedily and
hastily, as though the dinner had been
paid for, neither should one take any
food from his neighbours plate. In a
word, each person should accept what
is offered and ask for nothing else.
when there is some one on the right
hand. 1t is permissible to eat with the
left hand.
.While one is drinking the eyes
should be steadily fixed on the wine
cup.
1T is improper to place ones hand in
dish while another person is taking
some food from it.
some should always have the hands
clean and the nails cut short as other
wise those persons who are eating from
the same dish are likely to become dis
gusted
"a guest should never put his ell
bows on the table, neither should he
chatter all the time nor clean his teeth
with knife. Chicago Herald.

FLOWER AND TREE.

A single leaf of the orange tree care
fully planted will often take root and
grow.
Rosin and tallow In equal parts
make an excellent covering for wounds
in fruit trees.
Betting a tree-that is, killing 1t by
destroying the bark in a circle around
the trunk Injuries it for lumber.
In TRANSFORMING trees all roots that
have become bruised or broken should
be cut clean away behind the broken
part.
A pan of water kept steaming In the
stove will keep the atmosphere in good
condition for the growth Of house
plants during the winter.
Trees should always be trimmed
when young and growing in such a
manner that there will be no necessity
for cutting Off large limbs.
Wood mold. provided it is fine and
free from roots and sticks, with the
addition OF a little well rotted compost,
makes a splendid soil for the pots OF
boxes In which to grow the house
plants In winter
Orchards generally produce full crops
only every other year. This is because
the full crop Of one year so exhausts
the fruit producing qualities Of the
soil that 1t is not able to make a full
crop the next year.

story OF Lcrd Morris Daring az

Lord Morris possessed an almost in
exhaustfble fund Of humor, which, it
may be said, was not always appreciate
ed ia the house Of lords The following
story IS perhaps illustrative Of his dar-
ing as an advocate rather than his
qualities as a humorist: On one oeca-

The Rival Gort1ram

Once upon a time a gorilla was in
love, and while he delayed his proposal
a rival appeared on the scene, gained
the affections of the one he loved, pro-
posed, was accepted and soon married
her.
A year passed, and the disappointed
lover called on his successful rival
while he was swinging on hickory
limb, with crying baby in his arms,
and silently listened to his wife scold-
ing him for some fancied breach of
household regulations.
That was narrow escape" he said
as he turned quickly in his tracks and
hurried away.

PEACE SENTIMENT AMONG DEL.
EGATEs is STRONG.
WILL STAND BY MITCHELL
Anthracite Miners in Favor Of Strike
Are in a Hopeless
Minority.

indianapolis, July 1S--This morn
ing the sentiment among the dele
gates to the miners convention was
fully as strong as ever against a strike
and the anthracite men favoring a
strike admitted that there was no
chance of a walkout. They were hope
less last night when a majority of
their own men was opposed to a strike
and this morning they came into the
convention determined to stand as a
unit by the recommendations of Pres
ident Mitchell. Thomas L. Nichols,
president Of district No. 1, which was
chiefly instrumental in calling the
convention, denied this morning that
he had been in favor of a general
strike.
Il never was personally in favor
of a strike" he said, "but knowing
how the majority of u people feel.
l should have voted for a general
strike if the question had come before
the convention. Just now, I guess it
is Just about as certain that there
will be no strike and if a good fund
is raised l think that it will be just
as we'll. 1t is the best that can be
done now, at any rate"

Butte, July lit looked like a safe

afternoon they were sorry they wrote,
as the sun came out and the snow
didn't even show on the sidewalk. 1t

HAS ASKED THEM TO REMAIN.
British Ministers Will Serve Until the
Close of Parliament.

London, July 18.-The fact that all
the ministers except Earl Cadogan,
including Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, at
tended yesterdays council shows that
Prime Minister Balfour has asked all
of them to remain in Office till the end
cf the present session of parliament.
The Marquis of Londonderry, post
master general, in a public speech
yesterday afternoon, announced that
Mr.. Balfour Lad asked him to retain
the postmaster generalship and that
he had consented to do so.
1t is understood that Mr.. Balfour
intends to reduce the number of min
listers in the cabinet, which has been
increasing in recent years until it has
become unwieldly. Neither a lord
lieutenant Of Ireland nor an Irish
chancellor is likely to be included in
the next cabinet. The Earl of PEN.
broke, lord steward of his majesty's
household, and the Duke of Marlbor.
ough, are mentioned to succeed Lord
Cadogan.

AID FOR STRIKING MINERS.
Meeting Held in New York City to
Devise Ways and Means.

New York, July 18.-A conference
has been held here Of representatives
of labor unions under the auspices of
the Central Federated Union. The
object of the meeting was the forma-
ton of a plan for aiding the anthra-
cite miners who are on strike. Father
Curran of Wilkesbarre, Pa, who tried
recently to get the operators to settle
the strike, was present and was in
vited to make an address. "
sTwo things" he said, "are neces,
sary in order that the miners may
win. The first is that they keep the
peace. The second is that they have
the finances to keep up the struggle.
The strike as a whole has shown that
they can keep the peace. hope they
may have the funds" 4

EVIDENCE TENDING TO SHOW
HOW LATTIME Err WAS KILLED.
TESTIMONY IS DAMAGING
Dying Man Stated During Last Mo-
ments That He Was Not shot
by a Burglar.

New York, July 18.-The official in.
Quiry into the circumstances sur
rounding the death of Albert G. Lat
timer of Brooklyn, who is supposed to
AVE been shot by q burglar on the
morning of July 2, was begun yester-
day in Brooklyn, and late in the after
noon the hearing was carried over un-
til next Tuesday.
Mrs Lattimer's story Of the shoot
ing developed nothing new. She de-
clared that her husband was shot by
a burglar. District Attorney Clark
asked Mrs. Lattimer if she h8d been
i'm the company of w. HI. Tuthill, a
travelling upholstery salesman, out
side CT her home.
She replied that she met Mr.. Tut
hill ON ONE occasion in New York; that
he accompanied her to her home and
that she told her husband about It.
In reply to other questions she said
she had never entertained Mr.: ElweI1,
whose home is in the real of the Lat
timer house, in the absence Of her
husband.
c.. r.. Rich, who lives near the La.-
timers, said that when he went to- the
house on the night of the shooting,
Mrs. Lattimer introduced him to a
Mr.. TuthiT1. Lattimer was placed ON
the bed, Tuthill assisting in the work.
Then, according to Tuthill, he said to-
Mrs. Lattimer: "Don't worry; he is
all right"
DR.. Meagher, house surgeon at the
hospital where Lattimer died, Great
ed a sensation when he said on the
stand that the dying man exclaimed,
as he lay in bed on the third day:
p ''The coward shot be in bed"
Miss Christine Russell, a nurse,
testified that Lattimer said:
"a coward shot me in cold blood
Once when Lattimer's brother
spoke about the search for the burg
lars the wounded man said:
mo burglar ever shot me-"
Mary L.. Caughman, another nurse,
said she heard Lattimer say he knew
the man who shot him and that he
would tell his name when he got well.
Miss Fanny Lattimer, a sister,
swore that on one OCCASION she had
seen Mrs. Lattimer and TuthilI meet
on a street corner. She said that
when Mr.. Lattimer reached home he
found Tuthill there. There we're
words between the two men and then
a lengthy correspondence, which grad
ually ceased.
Police Captain Reynolds testified
that after a minute examination of
the doors, windows and shutters Of
the Lattimer house, he could find not
the slightest evidence of a forced en-
trance.
