Young Dickinson Lassies Aspire to Join
the Racks Of Baseballltes, but
Fai(-Why?

Some of Dickinson's bright young
maidens, II or Is years of age. recently
became ambitious to be numbered with
the oall,tes and accordingly picked their
nine and set out in 4 very independent
and %businesslike manner to procure
funds with which to purchase the neces-
sary paraphernalia. Instead OF going
around among their fellow citizens ask
ing them to subscribe, they bravely
determined to carr their money honestly.
You know the best way to reach many a
persons p~ocketbook is through his stom-
ach, so to speak, and these Young maids
knew that the public must be hungry
since Popcorn" had departed g they
spent some time preparing the much
sought-for article and placed it on the
| market, where it produced some two or
three dollars. With this they purchased
ball, bat and mirt, and tried to find a
mask for the "felder," as n Of the
number called the man who ears that
article, but they failed to find M which
they could wear, and we're in quite a
dilemma. Finally, a bright idea struck
them and they proceeded to the hard
ware store of McCloy & Senour and in
quired for-calf muzzles. They, however
found none to fit, strange to say, so the
disheartened nine we're compelled tc
disband.
Poor dears! They probably though,
if the other Dickinson nine were COW
boys, they could, at least, make up a
"calf" team-but the muzzle wouldn'

THE Wall Street panic has had
some effect on the price of wool
during the past two weeks and
the labor troubles have also
helped to put the price down. 1t
is strange how quickly the money
market of the East tightens up
and how quickly it is felt in the
far West. Just now it is almost
impossible to find a wool house
that will even make an offer for
wool. Fortunately two million
pounds of wool from this locality
was sold while the price was good,
and it is probable that the owners
of the remaining few thousand
pounds will realize a fair price
from their clips in the end, pro.
viding they have consigned to
reliable houses. Our growers
were very fortunate in selling early
this season and now have the
satisfaction of knowing that they
got better prices than was gener.

LOST IN CATACOMBs.
Party Ot Tourists Lose Their Way
 in Dismal Old Hele.
For Over Two Hours They Tramped mt Random Over the Stony Paths of the Oldest Burial Place
 of Paris.

A party of tourists had an experience of the most startling character in the iGsatacombs of Paris recently.
 The party, which consisted of 25 per wons, 19 of whom were English and American, were lost for over two hours Nn the underground passages in the midst of piles of grinning skulls and stacks of human bones. When ulti- snately they found their way out the women were on the verge of collapse and all were suffering from nervous \ Shock.
 For some years past the Catacombs have been recognized as dangerous Formerly visitors were allowed to enter unattended, and were merely told to Hollow a broad black. band which is painted along the roof By following this instruction they were able to find an exit couple of miles away.
 Owing, however, to several myste- 4rious disappearances of tourists and to the ground having given way under sev- ieraI of the labyrinthine galleries, it was decided that visitors should be~admit- ted only when accompanied by guide.
 Recently 8 large party entered the Catacombs at the Rue Denfert-Roche :reau entrance. They were accompanied by guide, and carried lighted candles. After wandering along the dark narrow passages for FeszA0 time, an Englishman stopped to examine eeHn@ curious in. Scriptions, and a crowd gathered round. When they started again the guide and rest of the party had disappeared
 An American woman, Mrs. Frederic Brady, who was one of the party, states that after having gone on for 20 min uteg without finding their friends, the Englishman who had been the cause of the trouble admitted that he had lost

"PARsIFAL."

The First Performance of the Great
 Musical Drama Outside Batreuth.
 NEW YORK, Dec 26.-For the first time since it was first produced in Bai- reuth in 1882 Wagner's "ParsifaP' has been performed outside of the festi- val playhouse for which the master composed it. A vast assemblage was gathered at the Metropolitan Opera House to witness it, an assemblage most brilliant in appearance and in quality, following the drama with the keenest attention, with breathless si- Ience, and submitting eagerly to it's spell
 "ParsifaP was presented in a man. ner wholly beftting it's distinctive char acter as work of art, manner that recognized and gave a full exposition of the solemnity and dignity of it's theme, the lofty eloquence of its treat ment, the overpowering impressiveness of the drama.
 The interpreters of the chief person ages of the drama were singers who have drawn knowledge and under standing of its requirements from the fountainhead at Baireuth and who have been among the most distinguished participants in the festival perform ances there-Mme. Ternina, MT. Burg staller and MT. Van Rooy.
 Never in it's long history of famous musical events has New York seen the crowd that turned out to witness this gala performance. Wagner's master piece has never before been seen ex- cept at Baireuth, and the popularity of the opera, combined with the vigor- ous protests of the composers wife and the opposition on religious grounds against its production in this country, brought out the largest audience that the Metropolitan Opera House has ever seen.
