" IN THE THEATRICAL WORLD .s g.

The Myrkle and Harder Go. closed a
prosperous week at the opera house
last night presenting seven new plays,
at eleven performances to crowded
houses, the majority Of them being to
standing room. This Is the fourth
year of this organization in dramatic
repertoire at popular prices and its
second season in Johnstown. Ii carries
a force of sixteen people, capable art
lists, equal to giving faithfrl interpre-
tation Of the various characters of
their extensive repertoire, which in
cludes parts demanding more than or
binary ability. The stage settings are
in keeping, no wise stinted, special for
each play. and conduced to a harmo-
nious assemble. With their big list Of
vaudeville acts, and all the depart
ments working smoothly together,
the reason is palpable why they have
won popular favor and that Johns
town gives them such generous pat e
ronage. Myrkle and Harder will al
ways be welcome there, because they
show that they not only maintain
their standard but improve upon it

INDIVIDUALITY OF ANIMALS.
No Two nrutes of a Kind Are Aiike In
Their characteristics.


My dear sir. not only does one lion
iiIer from another. but each is totally
ilfferent from all the rest, 1t is the
ame with other animals. Just as no
.wo men are alike In character. SO no
wo lions. no two tigers, or two Polar
BEARS are alike. When you know an
inimal's character then you know
iow 10 treat him. For instance. one
Ion will do his best work only II
you coax and pet and praise him, and
1t a single angry word he will lose his
ierve and skulk away. But the little
armness and severity that would be
Useless in his case would be imperative
with another lion, who would take ad-
vantage OF perpetual kindness and
neglect his work. Then. again. there
will be a third lion. whose head is
only to be reached through his stom-
lch-who will do anything for food, but
nothing for anything else. When you
are training an animal. you will come
to learn that there is some fault in his
character, something which renders
him unreliable. In such a case, II
decide that further time will not be
protitably snt on the animal, Mr..
Hagenbeck sells him TO a menagerie.
It took an entire year to teach them
all to go to their proper places on en-
tering the ring. II is very important to
place them In a certain order You
will notice that the bears come in and
90 out apart from the lions and tigers.
Bears get on well together. and so do
lions and tigers. but II lion gets near
A bear he will probably attack him.
Not SO very Ions ago a tiger who raced
put OF the ring rather too soon
overlook Polar bear and DIT
his foot so severely that the poor old
fellow went lame for weeks aud could
aot do his work.-lnicrv.ow In London

Empire Building in the Northwest.

From the Des Moines Leader.
An Iowa traveller just back from the new
northwestern frontier tells of some of these
hardShipS Il colony of Galicians In
Saskatchewan" he said, "and they gave
me the most extraordinary exhibition of
human patience and fortitude 1 ever be-
held. 1 saw from dozen to fifteen women
hitched two and two an eighteen-inch
breaking plow, and they marched right
ahead through the tough ground with that
plow, tearing up five acres day on an
average There was a man holding the
plow. The work these people did was as
effective as could have been done by horses
or oxen. The women seem to take their
hard labor as a matter of course. They are
very cheerful over it, laughing and joking
as they snake that great steel blade
through the turf l am told that scores of
these girls who draw plows all day have
vitality enough left to dance through the
greater part of the night. They are broad
of shoulder, heavy hipped and muscled like
wrestlers. They may not be beautiful to
look at, but they are healthy looking, and
moreover they are full of the determination
that makes new country open out.
These will disappear in few years, and
another generation will know of these hard
ships only by hearsay or as of tradition.
They are only an incident Of pioneering. 1t
is difficult to realize that such hardships
and privationS are necessary in this day of
the world and on this continent but it Will
not be denied that this sort of pluck and
endurance is a good indication that upon
this new and final frontier line there VIII
be built up rugged society that will prove
an important addition to the social elements
of the western hemisphere.

The American Conquest.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
After capturing our steamship lines. and
building our electric railways. and emptying
our art galleries, and annexing large por-
lions Of our peerage. are Americans now
about to invade our universities and carry
off our scholars? The University Of Column
bia has offered its new chair of Chinese
language and literature to Professor Fried
rich Hirth of Munich, beyond dispute the
most eminent professor Of Chinese in the
world. Should he accept. a precedent will
have been established of far-reaching effect.
Hitherto the European scholars who have
filled American chairs have been mostly
young men with their spurs to win. one
of these, by the by, Professor w. ]. Ashley,
has been recaptured from Harvard by the
Birmingham University. But the impression
made by Professor SylVester's migration
from oxford to Johns Hopkins, or 10y, Or.
McCosh's from Belfast to Princeton, or
even by Professor Colitz's from Halle to
bryn Mawr, would be nothing compared
with the effect of Professor Hirth's accept
ance of Columbia S offer.

depth to the 10 meters. Ships are allowed to
