"REUBEN IN NEW YORK."

That laughing success, Reuben Id
New York. will entertain our theatre
goers for next Monday night at the
opera house The old adage that
nothing succeeds like success is most
aptly demonstrated in the lnstanta'
neous hit made by this clever piece
The first night proved that the man
ager had a piece of property that was
bound to be a winner. 1t is bright,
clean, full of comical situations, clev'
er dialogue and sparkling over with
fun; the characters are in able hands
and every chance for laugh is, you
may be sure. taken advantage OF. Reu-
ben, in his trip, gets into some anus
ing situations, but always manages
to slip out of them. Elegant scenery
is carried, along with novel mechan-
ical effects, pleasing speCaltles are
introduced during the action Of the
play and altogether there is not one
dull moment from the rise Of the cur
tain until the final fall.

Two Sorts or Filipfnos.,

The Filipinos appear to be divided sharply into two classes. which, after all, are really one. One class professes loy- alty. Some of this class are really as loyal as they can be; others are buenos hombres during the day, only to foster rebellion at night. The other class is in open defiance of all our conceptions of law and order. Of the two classes, the latter is by far less dangerous. Tn the past year there have been perhaps a hundred convictions of individuals to death and life Imprisonment for open re- bellion; a few days ago one judge passed sentences of death and various terms of duress, from life Imprisonment down to year or so, on 20 of the outlaws. But of those receiving the heavier punish ments, several were of the outwardly loyal class, men who secretly fomented insurrection and ladronism. Arthur Stanley Riggs. in Atlantic.

Yn Medieval Cltie

There can De no doubt that one req son why cities did not grow so rapidly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as in the nineteenth is the excessively high death rate that pre- vailed during the earlier period. The flood of immigration, mighty as it was, did little more than fall victims to grievous sanitary conditions. From the facts that can be obtained~ft seems to have been universally true that al- most up to the beginning of the nine teenth century the death rate of the large cities exceeded the birth rate. This was not because the birth rate was abnormally low, but because the death rate was abnormally high. Tn the medieval city both birth rate and death rate were far higher than at present. Infant mortality must have , mounted to grewsome height. The uncleanliness and overcrowding of city dwellers, now largely relegated to the slums of our great cities, was the nor nal state of nearly all classes of so- ciety in the London and Paris of Louis and Elizabeth.-Prof. Edwin o. Jordan, in Popular Science Monthly.

chinese church Choir.

San Francisco has a real Chinese choir. It is a church choir complete in all it's parts and composed of young Chinese vocalists, who are accompanied on the organ by a Chinese organist. It sings to purely Chinese congregation com posed of men, women and children. It was in 1S36that Chinese branch of the Presbyterian church was formed in San Francisco. It was found extremely hard to bring the men and women together for worship. There wassa religious and so- cial chasm that the men shrunk from crossing. But concessions were made and the women were allowed to worship be- hind screens and curtain. Prejudices were lost as time wore on and in 1887 curtains.ahd screens begun to be lowered and fanally to disappear. But the men kept to one side of the church and the women to the other. But the choir marks one of the most positive advances, for in it young men and young women stand side by side and their voices blend sweet ly, rhythmically and devotionally in hymns of praise.-N, Y.

London Tailor. and credse.

Few people have any idea of the amount of money west end London tailor has on his books, remarks the Tailor and Cutter, an English organ of the trade. Gentlemen will run up a bill of $1 300 or $2,0o0 ana pay off per- haps $250 and increase their indebted ness by a like amount; while, in addi- tion to these, there is the positive loss by intentional swindlers, who manage, somehow. to get introduced, run up a heavy bill, and will not pay. Take a case in point: A foreigner called on . well-known firm with letter of intro- duction from one of the firms custom CTS. He ordered some goods and paid for them. He then ordered some more, and introduced ten other gentlemen. The firm in question has not received a penny for any of the goods supplied on the second order, or for those supplied to the ten others.

Packing Cigars.

An improved method of packing ci- gars, which has for, it's object the means of facilitating the sending of cigars and other similar articles by automatic machinery Is long ribbon of papex which not only enables these delicate pieces to be handled by slot machines, but also offers means of protection while in the pocket An other feature of this invention is that it may be used as means of prevent ing or detecting theft from the boxes of gentlemen who are in the habit of purchasing their cigars by the box. Un- der the. present method or packing the cigars it is an easy matter for serv- ant, or other person, to abstract cigar or two from the box, every day, with out detection, but such systematic thievery is prevented by the ribbon sys. tenn, for the paper strings are so num- bered that the removal of single cigar could be detected. -- Philadelphia Rec ord.

Button m.

The autumn girl satisfactorily an- swers the old question: Who's got the button?" She has, and plenty Of them. Collecting them is fad with the girl of to-day, and it's a useful fad, too. In- stead of being kept on 8 string, after the old-time schoolgirl way, or arranged in cabinets, like coins and medals, they are now used to decorate her latest sweater. Surely here Is novelty for you, for the sweater has heretofore been con- spicuous for it's lack of buttons, rather than for it's many buttons. She doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve, this girl of to-day, but that's where she does put her buttons. She buttons her sleeve straight up from the wrist to the shoul- der, and the buttons go further, reach ing over the shoulder and up to the top of the collar.--Woman's Home Compan- ion 5-E lt-.-. .a-.s EF

Jnpnnese E,nperor,. sanctstx.

A monarch, or rather, chief of state. who has never had his portrait impressed upon the coinage or printed on the stamps of his country is His Imperial Majesty Mutsu Hito, emperor of Japan. This abstention is not due to any clause in the constitution, but rather to the fact that in Japan the emperor is far too sacred a person to have his por- trait scattered about wholesale. In Japan thu portrait of the emperor is considered quite sacred possession, and it seems very strange to Japanese gentlemen visiting Europe to see the way in which real portraits of the reign ing sovereigns are offered for sale. In Japan crude drawings from imagination are sold, but photographs not at all.- London Tit-Bits.

The official census recently publisher by the imperial treasury department of China is of no little interest, since fl furnishes method of determining just how many t'teeming millions" there are. It appears that the celestial empire con- tains 426, ,000,o00 inhabitants and that China proper-the eighteen provinces contains 407 100000.

In Mongolia the number Is or; in Manchuria, g.. in Yibet, 5, and in Turkestan, 0.S.

 Grand Jury Returns True Bills In-
 vOlvfn9 six Persons.
 WASHINGTON Sept. a.-After de liberating for several weeks over a mass of documents submitted by the post office inspectors the federal grand fury has returned seven indictments in postal cases involving six different per sons. All the indictments were kept of the public record, and both the officials of the District attorneys office and of the post office department refused to divulge names or details of the indict- ments until the parties indicted are ar- rested. The identity of the indicted individuals thus was left matter of conjecture.
 It is expected that arrests will be made today and that the post office de- partment will then have some an- nouncement to make. The grand jury s action probably marks the beginning of the end of the investigation that has been in progress since the middle of last March. t
 Postmaster General Payne and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow received word of the grand jury's ac- ton, but both officials refused to di- vulge details pending official notiflca- ton of arrests.
 Leopold Stern, the Baltimore con- tractor, who disappeared from Balti- more before he could be arrested, has been located at Toronto. George w. Beavers, the former head of the salary and allowance division, has surrendered himself to the New York authorities.

UMPIRE'S FINDINGS.
Hon. Carroll D. Wright Has
 Filed His Decision.
MINERS AND OPERATORS DISPUTES
Board Oa Consolidation Members' Diff ferenceS Referred to Wright's Judgment Now Rendered on
 All Points mt Variance.

All Points at Variance.
 SCRANTON, Pa, Sept 9.-Hon. Car roll D. Wright, the umpire to whom was referred the five disputes between the operators and miners representa- tives on the board Of conciliation ap- pointed under the provisions of the an- thracite mine strike commission, filed his findings with T. D. Nichols, secre- tary of the board. Tn dealing with the question of employers right to dis charge men for any cause other than of connection with labor union Umpire Wright agrees wholly with the conten- ton of the operators representatives and declares that the right of an em- ployer to discharge without giving the cause of the discharge is sustained by the award of the commission. AS to the rockmen's dispute the umpire says they do not come under the award.
 The complaint of Thomas Tanner is not sustained in regard to the allega- tions of discrimination on the part of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation com pany and Coxe Bros. & Go. He says that these companies should take back old men instead of putting on new men In all cases where the old men are con- potent and have not been convicted or gre not awaiting trial for crime com mitted during the strike
 Lending up to the final award, the umpire says:
 Taking the rula1gs of the court, the assertion of the anthracite coal strike commission, tho clauses in the agree ment made by and with the United Mine Workers. of America and the ad- missions of the different members of the board of conciliation, whether on the one side or the other, there can be no doubt that man has right to quit the servitude of his employer whenever he sees fit, with or without giving any cause, provided he gives proper notice, and that the employer has a perfect right to employ and discharge men in accordance with the conditions of his 1 industry; that he is not obliged to give any cause for discharge, but that he should, as in the reverse case, give proper notice.
 'This right to discharge must there 1 fore be sustained. Any other view of the case would result in compelling men to work for an employer when they did not wish to and thus enslave them, when, on the other hand, it would compel employers to employ men whether they had work for them or not and whether the men were in- competent or not and would thus stag nate business and work to the injury l of all other employees.
 "All discharges, as all quittals, should be made on reasonable basis. The employer and the employee should treat each other with justice and with de- sire to preserve peace."

cOrfnthfan Canal Phenomena.
 The remarkable canal, less than four miles long, cut through the Isthmus of Corinth and opened in 1893, 25 centuries after the time of Periander, who projected similar work, has proved a disappointment partly because it is too small for very large steamships, and part ly because of peculiar tidal and atmos- pheric phenomena. The high winds which occasionally turn the Gulf of Cor !nth into raging sea. make huge air shaft of the canal, the walls of which are, In places, 260 feet high, although the depth of water is only 26 feet and the width 80 feet. Thus mighty currents of air rush through from one gulf to the other" Then. owing to difference in the time of high water in the Corinthian and the Sardonic gulfs. troublesome re- versing tidal current is met with in the canal.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-With torch as his weapon some person, supposed to be the agent of secret society, sought revenge upon Joseph Bova, saloon keeper, and endangered the lives of thirty persons. Their escape was due to Carlo Dairaghi, three years old, who aroused his mother. The inmates of the blazing building escaped just in time, as it was destroyed with it's contents.
