 There is onesother point of compari- son that must not be forgotten. The space of 50 years has reVolutionized the weapons of war. Part of the English infantry in the Crimea were armed with the old Brown Bess, though some had the Mimic (Enfield) rifie-this was the first campaign in which our soldiers used rifles With the Brown Bess fire was usually opened at 15O to 200 yards. Such weapon to-day would be prac. tically useless when opposed to mag ,azine rife sighted to $500 yards The improvement made in artillery isno less remarkable. In the Crimea the heaviest guns we had were 8-in 65-cwt. guns, 68-pounders, and 32-pounders.

"We have just returned from Cape Cod, where we spent our vacation with a great-uncle," said the Manhattan woman to Sun reporter, tand brought two vivid impressions back with me.
 One was the picture os our great uncle, 33 years old, and as straight as an arrow, standing waist deep in the water, hauling in fish as fast SC he could handle the line. His hair and beard are snow white, but his cheeks are as ruddy as schoolboy's.
 "The other thing was a little inter view we had when we called at the home of the local congressman to see about having our baggage sent ahead of us to New York. His wife came to the door and when we asked for the man of the house she seemed doubtful
 Of course, If it's urgent, can cal. him she said, but I hate to, for he's just takin' his nap
 We begged her not to disturb him and said we had no idea he had so much night work that it made it necessary for him to sleep in the daytime.
 Oh, no, she explained, it isn't that, but he always takes a nap at this time of the day. guess you'll find that pretty near everybody on the cape is takin' nap just about now

ARROWS SHOT AGES AGO. Canyon on Moapoa River Becomes ], Mecca for Relic Hunters-Crude Figures on Rock.


 Thousands of arrows shot by bands ot Indians for possibly centuries protrude from a Assure several hundred feet long in the rocky walls of Arrow canon, Call ifornia, about 20 miles from the cross Ing of the Salt Lake railroad over the Moapoa river. At a point where the perpendicular wall of the canyon juts out about 200 feet above the canyon bed a thin, snake-like Assure runs in the rock Successive generations of Indians have gone to the place at regular inter- vals and shot their gayly befeathered arrows upward, forming a fringed scarf. unique in it's oddity. The arrows are so thick that little room is left for more, and owing to the position of the Assure at a height of 200 feet and under the shelving wall, the relics, protected from the weather, have stuck where they were driven in uncounted years ago. Already relic hunters are visiting the place and despoiling it of it's treasures by shooting the arrows out with re. volvers and rifles. Tn the sands of the bed of the canyon many arrowheads of various sizes and shapes are found buried. It is believed that the Indians visited this spot in connection with some rite. Crude, strange figures have been cut by them in the face of the rock wall.

Education has been much advanced, special attention being paid to the industrial side; allot- ments for homes have been taken by 60,00O Indians, 10000 Indian children are in schools. The tribal relation is vanishing, Indians are becoming citi- zens of the United States The reser- vation system is breaking up, Indians are becoming farmers and stock rais- CTS, and there is noticeable the fact that "the adult Indian has been brought under preparation for self-sup- port"-the ideal set down in the plat form adopted in the third of the Indian conferences.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Large audiences characterized elec- ton day at the Jacques, and there were certainly none who enjoyed the day better than those who saw the rattling good vaudeville show that is on this week. Special honors were accorded again to McWaters, Tyson and company for their excellent work ill the spectacular musical comedy en- titled Vaudeville There is so much variety in this skit, and it is made so amusing in it's various feat nres, that it is constantly and contin- uously interesting, keeping an audi ence in the best of humor every min- ute that it runs. It is taking well as a headliner and goes into the house records as another winner. Carl Dem mann's troupe of acrobats have many clever and difficult feats and show their work with a clearness and finish that add to it's value. There is little time for seriousness while Jack No moth has the stage, and Irene Frank lin gets many recalls for her majestic style and sweet singing. Others on the bill are Allen Shaw, Willie Gard ner, Fields and Hanson and the cleo trograph Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la dies 10.

WILL USE LONG AIR CABLE.
Space Covering Thirty Five Miles

l A 35-mile heavy earial cable, carry. ing 19 wires, will soon be stretched across the Great Salt lake along the Lucin cutoff. The work will be done jointly by the Southern Pacific and the Western Union, and will be the main line for all railroad and commercial telegraph business between Salt Lake City and the coast. When the great cutoff was first thought of 1t was in. formally planned to stretch the wires in the regular way along the track, but when the engineers got their first idea of the high winds on the lake 1t was at once demonstrated that the wires would not last long in such an unpro. tected place, and then it was thought that regular ocean cable would have to be laid But this was impracticable too, as it was found that the action of the water would ruin the cable in 8 short time. So, as last resort, it has been decided that the only way will be to stretch solid cable across the whole of the lake section for about 35 miles.

American, to-day there is evidenced earnest attention in study of his case and desire to do for him what is in- cumbent for guardian in charge of dependent ward. Each year the h. dian conference at Lake Mohonk has some one question as central theme; one year the reservation; again the educational problem, or the missionary problem At this years assemblage just closed, the conference worked on the formulation of plan to keep liquor out of the Indian Territory
 The first of the Indian conferences at Lake Mohonk was called and or ganized by MT. Smiley, the gentleman that 'tdiscovered'' Lake Mohonk, and an, appoin.ee of President Hayes as member of the board of Indian com missioners. MT. Smiley, realizing that there was needed a general conference of those interested in Indian affairs, invited, seconded by his wife, hun dred or more to come together to the Smiley's Lake Mohonk home for dis cussion of improved methods in deal- ing with the Indians.
 To this first conference, convened October, 1883, invitations were sent to the board of Indian commissioners, the senate and house committees on h. dian affairs, army officers having deal ings with the Indians, prominent mem- bers of the Indian Rights association, heads of Indian schools, editors and leading men throughout the country. Lake Mohonk then was practically un- known. and not all the invitations were accepted, about 50 taking part in the three days discussion that inau- gurated the Indian conferences

It is said the conference has practi- cally dictated the governments Indian policy, and, though 1t has not obtained all it set out to accomplish, it has in the 20 years of it's work been power full friend to the red man.

And then I realize it is becausa tEe windows everywhere are closed and the sounds shut in, so that no longer hear them. don't feel the cold myself, and so my windows are still open; but other people, more sensitive, have closed theirs; and so when TO longer hear the sounds of their pianos and piccolos, comets and clarinets, oboes, flutes, and all the rest Of them, why then I know that it is fall But know, also, that the volcano is only slumbering; and that in due time we shall hear again the sameschorus, all going at once, in gigan- tic. volcanic, tremendous, uproarious. cataclysmic tumult, when on the first warm night the windows are opened again in the gentle springtime. %

GRACE VAN. sTUDDIFoRD.


 Red Feather" in which Grace Van Studdiford will be seen tomorrow evening at Polls is the most gor- geous comic opera production made this season. It is said to be a reyela- tion in it's scenic equipment and cos tuning; The management refuses to quote figures in respect to the outlay for the staging of "Red Feather" but there is no doubt that fifty thous- and dollars is not full estimate of the cost. The piece was written spe- cially for the starring tour of Grace Van Studdifprd who has made quite a meteor-like appearance in the world of music. She is entirely above the rank and file of opera bouffe stars. Her work with the Bostonians won fine appreciation, but word has reach ed us of wonderful developments since. De Koven, who wrote the mu- sic of Robin Hood is also composer of sRed Feather and there is no doubt he has given Miss Van Studdi ford opportunitis for brilliant work. The Garden of Dreams" and s'The Merry Cavalier" are said to be ex- quisite numbers in which the com poser and star are equally successful. Red Feather" had q remarkable run in New York, the longest of any legiti- mate. musical attraction in many seasons. Charles Klein is responsible

TWO GREAT. S|EGES.
THOSE OF sEvAsToPoL AND PORT
 ARTHUR COMPARED.
There Are Many Points of Similarity Between Them Though the First Happened More Than Fifty
 Years Ago.

1t is worth while to recall the fact that 50 years ago-on October IT, 1S54-- the first assault was made upon Seyas- topol, if only because there are many points of resemblance between the siege of that fortress and the siege that is now, half a century later, occupying the worlds attention in the far east. Both Seyastopol and Port Arthur are on the coast, and have important har- DOTS, and in both sieges it was Russians who were besieged. Japan, as a power to be reckoned with, was unknown in the days when the allied British and French forces sat down bsfore Sevasto- pol. In 1854 the Russians pursued a diff feTent course with regard to their fleet 2 to that taken in the case of Port Arthur. Directly after the battle of the Alma, when the allies began to prepare to in vest Sevastopol, the Russians sank a number of battleships at the mouth of the harbor and effectually blocked 1t. The siege lasted 349 days. and when the Russians evacuated the fortress, on Sep- tember 2, 1855, they blew up and sank all their ships On the morning when 1the allies took possession of the shat tered stronghold, there was no token of the Black sea fleet. except protruding estunps of masts and fragments floating on the water The siege itself is too complex to deal with it in detail, and We can only refer to the principal inci- dents. The first bombardment was on October IT, 1854 The first sortie was made on October 26. By January, 1855, there were 14,000 men of the allies in hospital. There was a second sortie on March 22, and on April there was second, and very heavy, bombardrnent, and the Russian rifle pits were captured. On June there was third lombard ment and an assault. and the Mamelon fort was taken. A fourth bombardment on June IS was followed by an unsuc- cessful attack on the Malakhoff fort and the Redan, though the cemetery at the foot of Green hill was captured A fifth and sixth bombardment was carried out on August IT, and on September ST. On September the final assault was
 made, when the French took the Malak- 2 hoff and the British failed at the Redan < This terminated the siege. While the siege was thus dragging on it's weary

A WoMAN's STRUGGLE.

This new scenic melodrama, which is being played at Polls this after noon and evening. tells the story of q young girl who, through the work of q scoundrel, is parted from the man she loves and compelled to fight for her honor, after being betrayed into the hands of her enemy During the course of the play a typical Bowery scene is shown, as is also view of the New York Polo grounds, with a ball game in full swing. This is one of Ithe important scenes of the play, as the sweetheart, with every other door closed against him, accepts the position of pitcher for the New York club and saves the team from defeat. In the end, however, virtue triumphs and the lovers are reunited, while the villain and his accomplices meet their just deserts. Prices are D. 35 and 30 cents.

length, the Russian field army and the garrison had not been idle There had been three efforts to raise the siege, those which led to the battle of Balak- lava on October 25, 1854. the battle of Inkerman on November 5, 1854, and the battle of the Tchernaya on August 16, 1855.
 It should be noted, when comparing the sieges of Sevastopol and Port Arthur, that the former was never really in- vested, but constantly received reen- forcements from the north. It is, there fore, impossible to say how many men there were in Sevastopol at one time. The Russian losses in the campaign have been variously estimated at from 350,000 to 500,000. During the war the British total loss was as follows: Killed in action and died of wounds, $500; died of cholera and other diseases, 22,00O The French lost about 63,500. The great bulk of these losses were incurred at Eevastopol. On the day of the final as- sault the Russians lost il ,690, the French 7,557, and the British 2,610
 The besieging army, of course, varied in numbers from time to time, but sta tistics were published showing the state of the British army each week, and, talk ing one of these as an example, we find that on June 3. 1855, the returns give a total of 4s,o39 men and 230 guns
 Now let us turn to Port Arthur for a moment. 1t is estimated that there arc now some 25,o00 Russians defending the fortress Since the beginning of the siege the Russians have lost more than 10000 men. and the only reenforcements they have received have been the blue

GYMNASIUM DANCES.
Social Diversion Introduced by Mrs
 : George Westfnghouse.


 Social Diversion Introduced by Mrs. George Westinghouse.
 Gymnasium dances are expected to supply a novelty this season, says the New York Press. They have been s.featured' successfully in Lenox by Mrs. George Westinghouse in her coun- try home Erskine park. As the name implies, the dance is held in the gym nasium, which in the rural homes of millionaires is no small source of wor- ry to the architect. Such room must be substantial enough for practical use and convenient to the sleeping apart ments, yet so situated as not to inter- fere with the quieter life of the family
 It is the excellent arrangement of the gymnasium as Erkine park. in sepa- rate building, that makes Mrs. West inghouse's new dance popular. She and her husband recently gave din- ner and dance to mark the return of MT. and Mrs. Edward Henry Delafield from a wedding trip. All the parapher- nalia of gymnastics remained in the big hall, but American beauties were twined about the French foils on the walls, and great clusters of chrysanthe- mums were massed among the boxing gloves, dumb bells and Indian clubs Festoons of flowers decked the tra- pezes, horizontal bars and travelling rings
 Supper for the small party was serv- ed on giant springboard. The only casualty occurred when one of the buffers assistants, with a heavy load ed tray, tripped over a medicine ball. Mrs. Spencer is to give similar dance next month in the gymnasium of her country house in Scarborough.
