mentioned bowed tremendously, and

newcomers.
Billy continued Washington, turn
ing to his black servant, Il wish YOU
to set something to eat for these gen
tlemen. It's only bread and meat that
we can offer you, | am sorry to say.
We are not living in q very luxurious
style at p~resent-on rather short ra-
lions, on the contrary. But meanwhile
you will take a glass of this excellent
punch with us, and we will drink to a
merry Christmas. Fill your glasses,
gentlemen all. Your news is the first
good news we have had for 50 long
chat we have almost forgot what good
news is. 1t is certainly very pleasant
for us, ell. gentlemen? Now give MS
some of the details of the capture of
the transport. How was it? You, Mr..
Seymour, are the sailor of the party.
DO you tell Us about it."
Then in that rude farmhouse among
the hills on that bitter winter day
Seymour told the story of the sighting
of the convoy and the rus by which
the capture of the two ships had been
effected. at which General Washington
laughed heartily. Then he described in
Il graphic, seamanlike way the VOL
derful night action, the capture Of the
Juno by the heroic captain of the RAN
ger, the successful' escape of that ship
from the frigate and the sinking of the
Juno. He was interrupted from time
to time by Explanations and deep
gasps of excitement from the officers
crowding about him. Even Billy, bring
ing the dinner, put it down unheeded

table before it stood a great bowl of

were sitting Oh standing about the

not quite so tattered, than were those
Of the escort. The same grim enemies
had left the same grim marks upon
them as upon the soldiers.
The only well dressed person in the
room was q bright eyed young man, a
mere boy, just nineteen, wearing the
brilliant uniform of an officer of the
French army. He was tall and thin,
red haired. with a long nose and re-
treating forehead. His bright eyes and
animated name expressed the inter-
est he felt in a conversation carried on
in the French language with his near
est neighbor. another young man
scarcely a year his senior. The o II
trast between the new and gay French
uniform of the one ana the faded Con-
tinental dress of the other was not less
startling than that suggested by the
difference in their size. The American
officer was a small, a very small, man.
but in spite of his insignificant stature
the whole impression of the man was
striking and even imposing. In con-
trast to the other his face was very
handsome, the head finely shaped. the
features clear cut and regular. He had
a decisive mouth, bespeaking resolu-
ton and firmness, and two piercing
eyes out of which looked a will as
hard and imperious as eve dwelt i'll
mortal man.
In front of the fire were two older
men, each in the uniform of a general

 The cast includes a great variety of characters, lovers. an English dude with title to sell, an Indian who sought vengeance for a wronged granddaughter. etc. all these being in- terwoven in the main story.
 But the most impressive and unusual feature was the special scenery in which there is a wonderfully realistic reproduction of Niagara Falls, with its attendant noise and the scenery i'm mediately above and below the great cataract. The afternoon performance was not so good as the evening enter tainment for the reason that it was i'm possible to thoroughly darken the house, owing to its peculiar consuuc- tion. Electric effects enter largely into the mechanism for creating perfect deception and for best results in some scenes it is desirable to have the room perfectly dark. The result in the even ing however. was hattering, and at the close of the scene depicting the res cue there were repeated demands on the part of the audience which were poses with curtains intervening. Alto gether the performance was satisfying in every respect.

OVER NIAGARA FALLS
Spectacular Production at the Hard.
 wich Theater Yesterday.

Over Niagara Falls, the play that has been so much talked of lately in these parts, was presented yesterday by the Rowland & Clifford company. to two good audiences, matinee and evening, at the Hardwfck theater. Though it is melOdramatic in tone. if is vastly different order of perform ance from the stock company produc- tions that have been adiicting the southwest, and is bill of unusual in. terest both in respect of the story of the play and the vast quantity of spe- cial scenery that is required to produce it.
 The production requires beside the special scenery a large cast of per formers and most of them are very talented ladies and gentlemen. Ger tain portions of the play are enliv- ened with humor of a high order and much interest attends the main char acters of the story, the incidents that lead to the throwing of the woman into the raging Niagara in the belief that she would never live to worry the plot ters further. But of course she did the cOnspirators eventually meeting

 out of bounds Watta broke through the line and caught Shute back of it for a loss. Shute redeemed himself by making seven yards the next scrim- mage. and a touchdown, placing the ball directly between the goal posts. Woolf kicked an easy goal, and the score stood Is to 0.
 For change the NOrmals kicked off to the Indians, and it was the Indians ball for the second time so far during the game. They were unable to make any gains through the Normal line, and punted. The kick was not allowed, though, the NormaIs being penalized for an offside play. The Indians still held the ball, and NDoolittle went through tackle for five yards. Lugo followed for half that, and DOolittle likewise. In the next three plays they failed to make the required five yards and the ball went to the Normals. Jones made a long run, resulting in no gain, and was downed by Weirick. On the third down, and with three yards to gain, A. Woof punted to Eschief The kick was returned after two plays, and it was the Normals ball in the middle of the field. Shute and OchOa carried it within ten yards of the line and A. WoOlf took it seven yards nearer. With just one minute to play the NOrmals made thTe downs, and on the last one A. WOOlf was sent over the liRe for a touchdown just as the whistle was blown for time. Here he missed his only goal this season, and the score at the end of the second half was 23 to o in favor of the Normals.

HER TEST.
Young Wife Proved that Her Husband
 Was Intoxicated.

A stock broker was telling the other day how a girl, recently married to a colleague of his on the stock exchange. suspected that her husband had been indulging too freely in the cup that cheers. She determined to find out beyond doubt whether her suspicious were well founded
 To a friend she confided the source of her trouble; and from this person she learned that it has always been said that a man even slightly intoxicat- ed cannot pronounce words of any length. Whereupon the young wife de- cided that it would be a good plan to try this test.
 When next the friend met the young wife the latter was in a state of great agitation. Asked if her suspicious had been verified, she burst into tears, and said that they had.
 'I handed him this list" she said, between sobs, fishing from her pocket a paper which she gave to her friend. and which contained the following wOrdsj
 Phthisis, photocromy gnomiometri- cal hypochOndTiasis, parachronism. phlegmasia dolens. syncategorematic, antinomianism, pseudaethesia.
 And" she continued, while her friend read the list, he missed near ly half of them.-Every Where.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 26-The NOvoe
Vremya this morning publishes long
leading article regarding the relations
existing between the United States
and Russia. In considering the un-
friendly manifestations against the lat
ter in the United States, the Novoe
Vremya argues, distinction must be
made between the people and the gov
eminent, and it attributes the agita-
ton in the press to a campaign en-,
gineered by the Jews, who, it has been
said, even talk of building a battle.

sists, however, that the traditional
friendship for Russia occupies firm
position in the American mind and
heart, and that the people cannot real

who never have harmed them. The
