That women Of society should en-
gage in q vulgar brawl over cards
seems almost beyond belief, yet there
occurred the other day in the house
Of well-known leader Of society a
hand,to-hand scuf1e that would have
done credit to a group OF fshwives,
according to Modern Society. The
hostess, who is celebrated for her
strenuousness, came CALAMITY to the
rescue, and was thrown on the floor
and basely trampled upon. The lady's
house is the headquarters for a bevy

her decisions on mooted questions are

smoothly until it was almost time for

HOME TRIPLES OF TO-DAY
AND THIRTY YEARS AGO

Within the last thirty years-a
generation-a hundred and one little
household necessities that mama used
to make are now on the counters Of
the department stores for sale at
prices that stagger humanity.
When the dear old lady of 1873
wanted a wash rag she would make it
by hemming square foot Of the old
mans discarded undershirt! She can
buy wash rag now for three cents.
When she wanted a floor rag she
would rip open -four bag or a bur-
lap sack. She can buy a floor rag
now for seven cents.
When she wanted something to
shine the silver with she would take
an old stocking, an old sock or the
sleeve of WORKOUT wooden garment,
or possibly the leg end of the old
mans drawers. To-day she can buy
a polishing cloth Of some patented
material as good as chamois skin for
five cents.
Mama used to make iron holders out
of quiiting-any old piece left over
or worn cut. Now she can buy all

she wants made of asbestos for five
cents each.
Dust rags or cloths? Why, bless
you, what did she do with the old
night shirts, petticoats and chemises
They are for sale now at ten cents.
She used to cover the ironing board
with ripped bed sheet. but to-day she
buys a cover in the store for a
quarter.
Dish rags were made of anything
lying around-an old fowl, q shirt,
coat lining, pillow case or sleeve. In
the department store to-day, Eve cents.
Pot rag? A piece of tattered table
cloth was mono too good. To-day in
the stores, five cents.
For polishing the stove she used
rag dipped in the backing; now she
buys sheepskin glove, with the wool
outside, for twenty cents.
She would make window shades out
of bolts Of linen and take them down
once every six months to wash them.
Now she buys shades ready made that
never can be washed and never will
be.

BATTLE FIELDS ON WHICu
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE

Col. YANKEE q retired German officer,
has just read lecture before the
members Of the Berlin Geographical
society ON the results of journey last
year through Asia Minor, undertaken
for the purposes Of historical and geo
graphical Investigation. The starting
point OF the journey was Alexandretta,
and the route followed was first to
Smyrna, then by ship to Rhodes, Mes
sina, and Adana, on the Cilicia0 coast.
An excursion to Pompciopeais was
made, as well as one from Alexanr
dretta to Bailan and tho Bailan pasA

Strabo and Xenophon, were also visit.
ed, one forming a defle along the
coast. The battlefield OF Issus is
crossed by two rivers, and the common
opinion was that the river which
proved disastrous to Darius was the
most northerly one. The lecturer re-
garded this assumption as erroneous
as the river in question had high steep
banks. The southern river must

The equine wonders known as Ricco- bonos horses, will undoubtedly create a sensation ct Polls next week. No anil nal act in many years has made such furore in New York, and being spec ially imported novelty is another proof of it's excellence. for managers cannot afford to guarantee work to a European act without it is Of the highest class. After being the sensation of the conti- nent and Great Britain, this act is des- tined to repeat it's success here. There are three handsome horses in the, troupe besides pack of splendidly trained dogs and a jolly clown, all working un- der Riccobono's direction. The horses drill. waltz. prance and have comice tussles witt: the clown. They have a drill with the dogs and then the star performer. the famouse Good Night Horse" caps the climax by going to bed and covering himself up as, naturally as human being. The bed is a bill affair with regular mattress, pillows and cov- ering and the scene when the horse is retiring is too ridiculous to be adequate ly described in words.

Grand Opera House.

The story of the love of devoted wife continually misrepresented by a hypocrite to the end that her husband turns her from the house and the trials and tribulations met with before she again regains her happiness. forms the plot of Hal Reid's latest successful play, "A Wife's Secret" which William T. Keogh will produce here at the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week and at the matinee Saturday.
 The first act is strong in attracting sympathy and in putting the audience in touch with the play. The motives and desires, the aims and ambitions of the characters are appreciated and links are forged which from the first rise of the curtain, bind stage and auditorium together. It lis clever play, beautifully staged and it's presen- tation here will no doubt meet with the genuine approval bestowed upon 1t in other cities where it has been pre- scented. An exceptionally capable com- pany has been engaged including Hal Reid and Bertha Bella. Westbrooke, who play the two leading roles.

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Theater-

Of Robin Hood,'' which will be sung at the Hyperion theater Friday even- ing, May 9, and at the Saturday mati- nee, May g, by the Bostonians, the San Francisco Chronicle of recent date says: It certainly remains the very best, the most thoroughly enjoyable of the musical compositions of these later years. As the familiar and favorite members of the Bostonians came on the stage, the welcome given them by a large and fashionable audience had something personal in it. MT. Barna- bee had, of course, the most enthusias- tic, but Buckingham, the amusing Friar Tuck, ran him very close, and Macdonald and Miss Bartlett shared the general acknowledgement. These people have played their parts so long that they are all much more real to the public as the characters in the opera than in their own persons. The chorus began most spiritedly, and it very soon appeared that the Bostonians had the strongest company they have had since the days of their first sue cesses. Barnabee has never been in better shape Macdonald was in very good voice; Frothingham even a Iner- rier Friar Tuck than ever, w. c. Wee den, the new tenor. has a very sympa- thetic and sweet tenor, quality of voice that is not only attractive in the solos, but is particularly telling in the concerted music. Maud Yeekley has a delightful, pure clear contralto, and her 'Oh Promise Me" showed it well. The number was tastefully and ex- pressively sung, and encored, as most of the music was. Florence Quinn was pert and saucy Anabel, singing it better almost than any of her prede- cessors. Howard Chambers has full, powerful, resonant voice, which was heard to advance in the familiar songs for Will Scarlet"
 The new opera, Maid Marian" will be sung at the Hyperion on Saturday evening.
