The town of Haschmann, in Ger
many, is striving to give every girl,
whether richly endowed with good
looks or otherwise, an equal chance
in the marriage market, and with
this object, municipal prizes, ranging
from $3.50 downward are annually be-
slowed upon young men who will
marry the plainest maidens in the
city. Crippled girls bring their
spouses a higher reward than any
others, while the girl who has been
twice Tilted is worth $50 to the man
who eventually leads her to the al
tar. The money for the purpose was
left by Polish baron who died in
1897, since when a total of nearly
$4,000 has been distributed.

trip was made through the eastern part OF
the state. Fort KCarncy and Fort Sidney
were the principal stopping places en- route
but the wise trainmaster never stopped
near the station. A journey across the
plains was much like n voyage at sea to
the men engaged. and when they came
across humankind they were, in their re-
joicngs likely to 90 to excess. Many
day has been lost to the company after one
of these orgies and TO avoid them vas one
OF the chief duties of the trainmNstcr.
The worst part OF the journcv was after
the train reached the "s7nd hills" These
hills stood as bare bald knobs encircled
with ever shifting sands whom the wagon
trains moved along the valleys between
them. In these valleys the sand was
deep that the wagons settled TO the hubs Of
the wheels, and at times II would become
necessary to attach half OF the oxen In tho
train to one wagon TO pull II out OF the
sand. Here moving WIS slow and difiCult.
One man endeavored to reduce the time
between Omaha and Denver by using mules
instead OF oxen. When he reached the sand
hills his wagons stuck; his mules sank to
their knees and refused longer to pull So
that he was compelled to wait until a fol-
lowing train arrived to pull him out OF the
sand. This ended the attempt to use mules
on the overland trail
with the building OF the Union Pacific
the old trail was broken up, but n fcw
years later the hauling OF freight from tho
Missouri river to the Black Hills started
On this route mules were used to advan-
tage, as the sand was not deep. The
"ConestOga" wagon had gone from the
land, but in all other respects the work
was much the same. The construction OF
the Elkhorn road TO Valentine threw the
freighters further west but It was not un-
I'll after 1885 that the railroad finally drove
the last vestige OF the old Overland trail

The principal camping place for trains

1t is nearly midnight when the word of

The amount of energy expended In one OF
these preliminary rehearsas is marvellous
to behold. The director in his shirtsleeves,

takes the center of the stage and holos II
with unhagging limbs and an ironclad voice
all through the day and evening. One hears
much of the exhausted, heavy eyed younf
women who are undergoing the drilling
process, but anyone who penetratcs tn
darkened theater during a rehearsal will
stumble over young women in short skirts
knickerbockers, shirt waists dressing jack
cts and every form OF negligee imaginable
practicing as II life depended upon it
These young women have been dismissed
temporarily By the director for rest, but

and complaints, one hears eXclamations

ton to win out. There is no hint now of
glittering footlights and flashing spangies,
no impetus Of applause, but they work with
unflagging zeal.
A rehearsal Is a most businesslike pro
ceeding. There is no system of fines. Few
regulations exist. Every actor knows that
lack OF attention, tardiness or frequent
absence means curt dismissal. There Is
no court OF inquiry, and no apologies are
accepted. II a girl wants to hold her
place she shows this in actions, which
mean more to the manager than recommen-
dations or press notices.
The children are rehearsCd with the rest
OF the ballet. For them matron is pro
vided, who watches over them when they
are waiting for rehearsals and accompanies
them from their own hall to the large
theater for the ensemble rehcarsa's
Ensemble rehearsals are not held until
each section OF the chorus has been thor
oughly drilled by its director. For in
stance. the chorus of a certain ragtim6
speciality was rehearsed separately for sis
weeks before the principals joined in the
work. When at last each section is ready
for a full rehearsal they fit together like
clockwork and each group or chorus is 81
perfectly trained that it is not confuse
by those who come before or after.
The dress rehearsal is the occasion whicl
tries the soul OF every participant, from
managers to humblest stage hand. Th'
preceding rehearsals may have been al
most perfect but small defects will crol

lasts until the eorly morning hours, wher
the company is dismissed to sleep durinl

AS for the managers. the stage directors
and the ballet master, there is neither res
nor sleep for them until the verdict Of tn
public is heard An investment OF 5000, 90
is practically at the mercy of the few hun

Havana. March 2S.-Advices have

minister at Washington, Senor Que

which the majority of the Cuban sen

to the reciprocity treaty (that it's rati-

Senor Bustamente. chairman OF the

insisting that the treaty shall not be

President Palma had two hours
conference at the palace with the en-

the senate, at which every endeavor
was made 10 induce the committee to
eliminate the condition regarding the
limit of time in which the reciprocity
treaty is to become effective. The
majority, however, persisted in its
