The Japanese with the COrse Paytonl

gagement at the Opera House, are cre-l
ating much favorable comment They
are five in number and perform feats
in juggling and along acrobatic lines.
They begin the performance both af-l
ternoOn and night, and in order to-
see them, the audience should not be-
tardy. The company throughout is an
excellent one, the stars having strong
support, and the advantage of special
scenery and appropriate costumes. Par
ticular attention is paid to detail,
which is not always the case with pop

A CRIME OF SCIENCE.

= CIENCE HAS MADE many grave
~ mistakes in its time. but it never
made a graver one than that which just
preceded the Martinique horror. In the
shock of that fearful calamity one fact
has received but scant notice. That is
the account OF q visit paid to Mont Pc
lee by a delegation Of alleged scientists
on the very day before the eruption oc-
CURED. These gentlemen were called
together by the governor because of a
slight eruption which destroyed large
sugar factory and killed a number Of
people.
They walked wisely around the sum-
NIT Of Mont Pelee. tapped here and
there with geological hammers. and
then came back 10 town. the devoted
town OF St Pierre. The people were
very anxious. In their ignorance they
supposed a destructive eruption was
possible, and when the smart men came
down from the mountain they were be-
sieged with anxious inquiries. To all
Of them reassuring answers were given.
The scientists. basing their sta tements
upon absolute guesswOrk, told the resi-
dents Of st. Pierre that no danger ex-
listed.
1t is fact worthy of significant no.
tice that the governor Of Martinique
and his scientific friends were not sure
enough Of their guess TO remain in st.
Pierre. One hour before the explosion
their yacht cleared for other parts. In
the meanwhile the thousands who were
lulied into fancied security by the
report Of the scientists, stayed where
they were. Their charred corpses at
test their faith. Never did men take
upon themselves so grave a responsible
ity as these scientists. They pretended
to be able 20 say what the terrific forces
Of nature would do or what they would
not do. and as a result Of their pre-
sumption thousands who might have
saved themselves have persisted.

Even Mr. Buchanan decided to wear a
sword, he did it, as ne carefully re-
ports, without reluctance since
he found it convenient. he said. to be
thus distinguished from the servants.
But it was very small one, ne has
tens TO explain. and the hnt was black.
What followed! I ask you gentlemen.
what was the verdict Of the American
people on this sagacious and patriotic
policy? They yielded to his taste for
the sword in place Of the breeches, and
Immediately elected him to the pres
idency."
BY all means If this country must
have a special embassy to the corona
ton the line should not be drawn any
where. Mr.. Reid should be given
carte blanche to make as many kinds
of be-ruffed and be-sworded monkey
out Of himself as he pleases. Ameri-
can sentiment on the subject has been
very well ventilated during the last few
months and the British who smile at
our dunkeyism win please bear in mind
that large majority of the citizens
Of the United States cordially disap-
prove Of it.

SPANS BOY KING.

IN SPAIN the other day that emblem
of authority by right divine, for
which rivers Of innocent blood have
been shed, was placed on the head Of a
boy. From ali over the world great
men had been sent to witness the cere-
mony and it was carried out with all
the pomp and ceremony, the glitter Of
gold. the flash Of gems for which Spain
is proverbial. From the accounts of
the affair it must be granted that the
lad went through it all with dignity
and that he seemed to feel to some ex-
tent the weight laid upon his young
shoulders.
Few there are. considering the mat
ter in a proper frame Of mind, who
will envy Alfonso XIII Of Spain. The
splendors of his court will excite no
covetousness, the power in his boyish
hands viii rouse no lodgings for like
authority Instead. this baby king will
receive. and he is entitled to receive.
the whole worlds sympathy. Here is
a boy who never knew fathers low
ing. watchful care A posthumous
child, his mother must have found her
time so occupied with the duties of
long and trying regency that she could
devote but little of it to the future
king.
All his little life Alfonso has been
surrounded by sycophants. by cour-
tiers who smiled when he smiled. who
frowned when the king was grave. At
Is. an age when most boys are trou-
bled with nothing more serious than
small school duties and recreations. he
is called upon, at least nominally. to
guide a nations destiuies. Is he not
entitled to sympathy? Can the bright
est 0ptimist see in his future the broad
bands of sunshine to which every boy
is entitled by the inalienable rights of
fresh, young blood2
To the average American there is
something unfair about all this. The
fact that a boy is so unfortunate as to
be born a king should not cut him off
from all the pleasures of youth. Doubt
less the queen mother was anxious IN
lay down the burden she had borne
through so many tedious and irving
years The cares Of state hung heavily
upon her and she must have relin-
pushed them with a great prayer of
thankfulness. But what of the how

l. would consider themselves fairly

Of $4,000 d year. OF course, they

Hopetoun, has resigned because he
couldn't make ends meet with his sal

Some months ago he asked for a
modest raise of $4,000 annually. He
figured that if he had $40. geo year he
might possibly be able to buy a new
suit Of clothes now and then. and per-
haps a calico dress for his spouse.

was defeated. Thereupon he forward

who accepted it with many express

10 expect a man to hold down a big
position on so beggsrly a salary as
$4,000 a year. Hopetoun was amply
justified in taking. a pessimistlc view
Of the situation. The only wonder is
that he didn't resign months ago. for
he has been governor general Of Aus

mRs. MARsAALL.s DEATn.

DEATH HAS BEEN very busy Of
- late among those whose lives have
given character to this city.
The last to be summoned IS Mrs.
Thomas Marshall, who fell asleep yes
terday.
She has lived here FOR a generation.
From the day of her coming here she
has been an example Of what exalted
womanhood is. As wife. mother, neigh
Dor, friend. she filed the full measure
Of duty.
She has been blessing to the city.
She has lived a high, noble. biameiess.
useful life. Her influence has been
among the people of the city What
spring blooms are upon the ARA SYM
Dol Of purity. a promise of fruition
and bounufulness when the autumn
shall come.
For many years the devoted woman
has been an invalid, but her sufferings
only refined and exalted her. She has
borne them with a gentle patience;
she has concealed them with a touch
Ing serenity. while all the time through
the wasted frame. with a softer. clearer
radiance, the soul within has shown
forth, causing those who saw her TO
feel that while this life and its dis
appointments were receding. heaven
was drawing nearer and nearer.
All the time her charities were kept
warm. her solicitude for others in
creased. her desire for the worlds ad-
vancement never faltered, so that when
the great transition came yesterday, to
those who watched the conviction was
made certain that with the change
there was for her merely the shaking
off Of suffering and an entrance into
the realms of a delicious peace.
May this thought be the stay and
comfort Of the stricken husband and
daughter, balm to their great grief,
a reconciliation for their irreparable
loss.
The death Of Mrs. Marshall win be a
great sorrow to a vast circle of friends.
To the desolate husband and daugh-
ter the sympathies Of the whole city go
out in full depth and tenderness.

There is no sign of a general reae-

breaks"
In other words. Mr.. Clews advises his
readers to buy when stocks are low
and sell when they are high. The Her
aid agrees with him that this is the
only absolutely sure way of making
any money in Wall street. with one ex-
ception. That is. by keeping out of
Wall street altogether. The latter
course IS far less exciting. but it is
calculated to keep any bank account
considerably nearer the right side Of
