MT Rice holds q re. ceiptfrom the railroad, and it looks very much as though he would make that company settle. He has put in claim for $1 1000. He will have to make good to the local theater, too, so that it will be a costly piece of business for the railroad company. However, every body will have chance to see the per formance next Wednesday afternoon and evening.

Ether-DrinkinE in Russia.

The habit of ether drinking is known to be prevalent in some parts of Rus Sia, and of East Prussia, and all the .fIorts of the authorities to combat the evil have hitherto been almost fruitless. An idea of the extent to which the habit prevails may be gath cred frem reports given in the Russian newspapers of a recent accident which occurred at place called Trossno. Ether is drunk by farmers on festive occasions, when it appears to be con- sumed in pailfuls. A farmer cele- brating his son's wedding in the full- ness of his hospitality got in two pails of ether. During the process of de- canting the ether into bottles vio- lent explosion took place, by which six children were killed, and one adult dangerously, and fl others more or less severely, injured. - British Medical Journal.

CHAPELs FOR UNDERTAKERs.
Need of ROamy Quarters for the Con- Senlence of Friends of Home
 LeSs Decedents.

Successful undertakers in New York nowadays have to be prepared to fur. nish a church and clergyman along with the other requirements of a fu- neral.
 Not very long ago it was an excep. tional thing for funeral services to be held in an undertaker's shop. Only the bodies of the friendless or of those whose friends were too poor to afford any better accommodations were taken from the undertaker's di- rect to the grave, says the New York Herald.
 Of late, however, the phrase: ''The funeral will be held at the parlors of So-and-So, undertakers," is ire quently seen attached to death no. tices, and even more often the place where the funeral is to be held is designated by it's street number only. Nine times out of ten the place so designated is an undertaker's shop.
 The way this has come about has been chiefly through the increasing reluctance of hotel and boarding house keepers to have funerals from their houses. Friends of those dying in such places are generally given to understand tlfAt an immediate re- moval of the body would be highly appreciated; or, if the friends do not appear within few hours, the pro- prietor summons an undertaken and has the body removed.
 Unless the deceased person had near relatives in the city it is gen. orally matter of difficulty for the friends to find a place from which to hold the funeral, unless they wish to go to the expense of church service. saa
 In this way 1t has naturally come about that bodies have been left in undertakers' rooms and at the time set for the funeral the friends have gathered thare and listened to brief service pronounced by some clergy man--supplied by the undertaken, too, perhaps-and thence have borne the body direct to the grave
 With the increase of this custom undertakers have been compelled to increase the size of their rooms and to fit them up better and differently from ordinary shops of the sort. One city undertaken has gone so far as to clear out the whole front of his store and leave a large room, nearly 75 feet deep, with panelled. church like ceiling and walls, which can be filled with chairs if necessary.
 It is not unusual for as many as two or three hundred persons to gather at funeral services held in this shop. Some quite well-known persons have been buried from there.

..HEARTs OF OAK"

James A. Herne's earliest play, s.Hearts of Oak" will be presented at Polls this evening, and it goes with out saying that those who witness it's presentation will have a delightfully."- enjoyable evening. This is the play where several little children are used to the great delight of the audience, the little ones speaking their lines and playing their parts in the most beauti- fully natural manner. MT Herne found the material for this play, as for all his others in theS great store house of nature, his pen pictures being drawn witch great fidelity to human life. One feels the better always for having seen one of his plays. The spectator for a few hours gets away from the yitiated and too often de- moralizing atmosphere of city life. He Is carried to the At1antic-Swept shores of New England and sharing in the joys and sorrows of the honest fisher and sailor folk who live there, seems to inhale the very life-giving odor of the sea- The spectator leaves the theatAr with deep impression that he has really beheld the mirror heid up to nature" This season s'Hearts of Oak ,is being played by a specially selected company, including James Horne. Edward Wonn, J Leon- ard Clarke, ". J. Gross, Albert wahle, William Nash. Walter Coupe, Elise Ryan, Emily Macpherson, Leona Ev- ans, remarkable tot but six years old, and Grace Estelle Clarke. There is also a member of the company who is but a six months old baby and a feature is a splendid male quartet. Prices are %, 8, 50, 75 cents and $1. VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 There is always a good attendance at the Jacques, notwithstanding any counter attractions that may be of fered, for the public have come to real ize that here more than anywhere else in tine city patrons are always sure of getting more than their moneys worth. This week there is no exception to the rule. for the current show is as good in many respects as any that has pre- ceded it. There is an especially en- fertaining headline act in "The Im- poster as played by May Duryea and John l.. Kearney, while beautiful and gifted Irene Franklin shares honors with her cleverly interpolated songs and initiative walks. George B. Alex ander, ''the tired tramp and Olive Kerr in singing act of vivid con- trasts, the Great Nevarros In their acrobatic novelty. and ''the pajama girl" May Sailor, with her partner. Mir Barbaretta, add to the general hi- larity. The Ellsworths. too, and Tom Almond, with the great vitagraphic picture of the American fireman's life, all come in for hearty appreciation at the hands of the audiences. It Is a show that no one can see without en- toying II. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la dies 10.
