MAGGIE CLINE.

There is no burlesque about the TO- bust singing that Maggie Cline is doing at the Jacques this week; it is the real thing, and while Patti, will never have any occasion to feel jealous of this lusty- lunged lady in the matter of sing ing, she might well covet the ability to enthuse an audience as Maggie does. It is certainly pleasure to hear her sing her great vocal masterpiece, Throw Him Down, McCluskey," and watch the realistic effects with which the singing is accompanied. She makes no pretension of voice culture, albeit she has a natural voice of considerable quality; in power and volume, however, she takes back seat to nobody. And in the robust rendering of her quaint Irish songs she is easily Ii class by herself, for 1t IS a fact that no singer has ever yet quite succeeded in imi- tating her, Another good headline act is the eccentric skit '"The Cop and the Soubrette,' as put on by Eddie Girard and Jessie Gardner. Mr Girard is the we'll known former star of sfNatural Gas" and in addition to being a com edian of rare ability. is an eccentric dancer of great excellence. Others on the bill are Ford aT l Dot West, Henley and Lester Russell and Buckley, Billy Weston, Lenore and St Clair and 4he vitagraph. Prices are 10 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la dies 10.

END OF DEADwooD COACH.
EsmOus Relic of Pioneer Days ne. molished by Government Clerks
 af Washington.

The famous Deadwood stage coach, one of the most precious of the gov ernment relics, was smashed into kindling wood few days ago by two clerks employed at the bureau of en- graving and printing, who conceived the idea of skyIarking with the fa- nous bullet-scarred old vehicle, says a Washington report. The coach was brought to Washington several months ago from Charleston, where it, was one of the most interesting exhibits at the exposition. Since it's return to the capital it has been housed in huge recess on the east ern portico of the post office depart ment. building. William C. O'Brien and Hamilton Connors, government clerks, passing the place early the other morning, thought that they would have some fun with the stately carry-an. They rolled it out of the recess and exerted themselves to make it move in realistic manner. Before they eould stop it 1t plunged down the long flight Of steps and landed in 4 heap of old wood and iron at the bottcsn. O'Erien and connors are

VIOLA ALLEN.

The big event of the season. Viola Aliens presentation of .tThe Eternal City" on Friday evening at Polls. has aroused the greatest interest. and a very large audience is looked for. This new play of Hall Gaines has been proving even more marvellous suc- cess than ''Iihe Christian" Box office receipts have little meaning to the av- craze theater-goer, yet when 1t is known that Miss Aliens receipts for her week in Washington with "The Eternal City, eaualed the combined taking for The Christian" and "In the Palace of the King" 1t will be readily understood that this new drama ere
 ated little less than a furore. like occurrence took place during Miss Al lens two weeks in Philadeluhia. where she appeared in the Garrick theater. On Tuesday of the second week of her stay at this playhouse every seat for the remaining performances had been disposed of. The hundreds of people who desired to attend the Derformance were unable to obtain seats after that day. The receipts for the second week were over S2.0O0 in excess of the talk ings of any other "star'' who ever ap- peared at the Garrick theater. The same continued success has been en- Joyed by Miss Allen in New York and

in jail and will face an indignant government.
 The coach was built in 1868 and is said to be the first ever to have car ried the United States mails in Mon tana, running on route between Helena and Bozeman. This trip took one week, while now the railroad does it four times in one day. Tn 1877 the stage was captured by the Neg Perces Indians under Chief Jo- seph and recaptured after long campaign by General Howard.
 Among those who are known to have used it in actual transportation are President Garfield, President Ar thur, who made a trip in it in 1883, and Gen. Sherman, while on a tour of inspection in 1877 from Fort Alice to Helena, Mont. On this ccca- sion Gen. Sherman made the phe- nomenal record of los miles, in eight hours.

THE A. n- FL FAIR.

l 1 f1E "A. O. H. n A1h. I If you did not know that the Ladies
 auxiliary and the six divisions of the l Ancient Order of Hibernians of this l city are going to hold a big fair in the city hall next week, consider yourself
 informed of that fact. If your friends
 did not know it, cut this piece out of
 the Democrat and send 1t to them. If your neighbor did not know it, paste
 this on your front window, and see how
 soon your yard will i'll with people,
 anxious to hear the news. Yes, there I is going to be mammoth fair next week, and the hot air dealer may take
 notice that there will not be a stage Irishman to be seen. If such wart or pimple on the body polite should be logged out for the occasion, God help his head. A meeting of the fair com mittee was held last night in Hibernian
 hall, and progress was shown in many ways. The committee on games report ed, but the general committee voted not to secure any of the chance games of those making application for the fair State Agent James Mccall, reported that money is now coming in for the tickets sent to various divisions out of town. The music committee said that the St Joseph Drum corps has been se- cured to furnish parade music. If this notice should catch the eyes of the members of that drum corps, the rat tat-tatters are requested to be on hand at Hibernian headquarters just as soon as possible Saturday evening: If possi- ble let them get supper with one hand and hurry up with the other, for they are wanted as early as 7:45. The com mtttee concluded to hire two policemen for sunday evening, so the supernum- eraries will please look pleasant and wear their best smiles in order that they may repay all the members of the com mittee sent to select them. One of those members is Brother. John F. Gal win, the man whom falling timbers could not hurt; hence it is not probable that "peeler's" club will scare him. There will be another meeting Friday night in Hibernian hall, and all those who have money to turn in for tickets let them just produce the tIong green'' and the committee will do the rest. An effort is being made to have At torney James r. Bree of New Haven, who holds national office in the Hi bernians, present at the opening of the fair. MT Bree. however. has not vet been heard from. All Hibernians in the city are most earnestly requested to be at headquarters early Saturday eve ming, by 7:30 if they can, for there is to be parade. The line of march for the parade will be announced in the Democrat and other papers of the city in day or two.

lis OUR LITTLE WORLD TFE CENTER OF The UNIVERSE? -

Mr.. Wallace says in the first place that
the new astronomy has discovered that
the stars are not infinite in number. For
this reason the stellar universe is not
indefinite in extent. He maintains that
as the telescope increases in efficiency
new stars have been revealed in lesser
and lesser proportion. thus indicating
that We are approaching the outer limit
of the stellar system.
Earth in Plane of Greatest Density.
He describes the milky way as vast
annuIar agglomeratiou of stars form
ing a great circle round the heavens
with great spaces unoccupied by stars.
He draws the inference that this earth
is placed exactly in the plane OF the
greatest destiny OF khis ring.
The new astronomer has discovered
that IL is in the amount of the proper
motion Of stars, and not. as formerly
thought. in the greater or lesser degree
of brightness that we possess a test of
their respective nearness to this earth
This would show. he holds. that the
nearer stars spread about us constitute
a giohuIar cluster of which our sun oc-
cupies a position very near the center,
il not actually at the center of the whole
visible universe.
All the evidence at command. Mr..
Wallace says, goes 10 assure us that our
earth alone in the solar system has been
from its origin adapted to be the theater
for the development OF organized and
intelligent life.
Answering the question. Why should
not one Of the suns on the confines ol
the milky way. or in anys other part OF
It. possess planets as well adapted as
the earth 10 develop high forms of or

more at home. as We may say that all
the positive evidence is against plur-
ality of worlds.
Dr. Searle in conclusion says;
"The case for religion is not really
in danger II astronomy seems 10 any
one to be against it. and an approx
mately central place of the sun in the
universe helps him in his belief. he
may rest assured that 1t has for a ;ong
time been supposed. and on good
grounds. as we have seen. that il does
occupy such a position. but, in sact,
this argument does not seem to add
much TO those often brought forward -

impossible to believe that such remark

quent physical conditions should occur

organic life has been developed, without
