The theatrical season here and throughout
Germany is drawing 10 a close It's most re-
marxa BILE feature has been the resusctation OF
the classical drama, the revival OF popular in
terest in plays of the romantic and historical
schools. Neither Hauptmann nor Sudermann
appeared with remarkable new productions,
and their chief disciples in the realistic"
school, Dreyer. Fulda, Eoss and Halbe. have
likewise remained mute. The public taste is
evidently undergoing a change. This was
strikngly illustrated by the great success and
long enjoyed by the revival Of such old
timers Lessing's "Minna Won Barnhelm"
Nathan der Weise." Schiller's "Cabale und
Liebe," and. more than all others, Goethe's
storm and stress play, "Goetz Won Berlichin-
gen" Most astonishing Of all was the fact that
these plays met with the greatest measure OF
success at precisely those theatres which, for
fifteen or twenty years. had been the chief ex
ponents and promoters of the modern realists'
such, above ALL as the Deutsche Theatre and
the Neue Theatre in Berlin. But the Scheu

ELLIS AND ABYSSIN|A
IS HE SEEKING POWER IN THE
COUNTRY OF MENELIKp
Case of the Cuban Negro Who Accom-
panied Kent Loomis on His Ill
Fated Voyage = Proposed a
Big Trading Company.

William H. Ellis, the Cuban negro now
On his way to Adis-Ababa, capital of
Abyssinia, with the commercial treaty
entrusted to the care of the late Kent
Loomis, has had remarkable career.
1t has been reported of the dusky mes
senger that he has an ambition to be-
come an African potentate, and that he
had dreamed of vast power to be welded
in the dark continent. Those who know
him doubt not that he has had such
dreams, nor do they doubt much his abil-
ity to realize them if he has seriously
set out to accomplish that purpose.
Ellis is one of the oldest characters
with which the state department at Wash
ington has ever had dealings. Of wealth
he seems to have an unlimited amount.
For experience he has herded cattle on
the plains of South America, has doomed
towns and made fortunes out of real es-
tate, has figured prominently in South
American and West Indian trading
companies, has explored interior sections
Of Africa, and calls himself the friend
of Menelik, a title which the Abyssinian
king does not seem to object to. In New
York he is known for his extravaganza
which. by the way, he can we'll afford
for his gaudy dress, and as the re-
ceiver for water supply corporations,
and also as a minor figure in the Fayne
Moore badger case.
When Consul General Skinner pro-
posed an expedition to the Abyssinian
capital for the purpose of negotiating a
commercial treaty with the 'king of
kings" Ellis sought an opportunity of
joining the expedition. He had visited
Menelik several times before and offered
his services as a friend of the African
potentate. Though vouched for by
reputable persons at Washington he was
not sent as part of the Skinner ex-
pedition, but fitted out an expedition
on his own account, and with many
trunks full of valuable gifts for the king
he travelled with his own caravan to
Adis-Ababa.
When the treaty was drawn granting
American commercial privileges in
Abyssinia Menelik promised Ellis val
liable commercial concessions if he
would return to Abyssinia. Upon his

FRESH FEMININE FINERY.
Pretty Trifes That Are in Evidence
in the Modish Costumes
of the Day.

Dame Fashion is changing her
plans, but they are not abrupt changes
that will materially alter the layout
of the coming gowns. Rather are they
changes that bring out the prettiest of
the prevailing fashions, while others
that were not so pretty are obliterated,
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
III the fashion world there are con-
tinually appearing new things or old
styles worked up in new ways, and
among those there are many that
catch the eye at once by their beauty.
Lovely lace stoles, for instance, are
fastened around the neck of little silk
bolero coats, with the lace ends hang
ing well down in front, and beautiful
silk rosette adorning the neck.
Beautiful squares of ecru lace, show
ing heraldic design, are appliqued
upon the right sleeve of the handsom-
est cloth gowns.
Great swirling patterns in braid are
appliqued to the front box plait of the
new linen shirt waists.
Braided designs in wash silk braid
are seen upon the cuffs of linen gowns
and upon the cuffs of silk dresses as
well, for braid is very fashionable.
Deep lace cuffs are stiffened with
wire and slipped on over the cuffs of
silk shirt waists and overcoat cuffs and
the cuffs of wash dresses.
Girdles are made of silk which is
stiffened and cut to point in the mid
die of the front. This girdle is hand
embroidered, and shows the loveliest
of green flowers to match the green
trimmings of hat and gown.
Brown, which has held its own so
well all summer. is to be still more
popular shade for winter, and both
seal brown and navy blue will lead in
fashions march.
The dot, always so fashionable, is
coming in, and, where there was one
dotted gown before, there will now be
dozen. The dot, to be fashionable,
must look as though done by hand, for
1t is the hand embroidered dot which
makes the gown chic.

MYTHS WERE HIGH-PRIcED
Hotel Guest Was Willing to Put Up
with Them, But Not for
Them.

There appears to be another hotel
mystery, a mystery that involves two
mythical hotel guests, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Mr. A.
comes to a St. Louis hotel, where he
has been in the habit of paying three
dollars day for his room, and is in
formed that since the worlds fair is
about to open a new schedule of rates
has been arranged; that because three
men can be put in the room which he
formerly got for three dollars, there
fore the earning capacity of that room
is nine dollars.
Every WE'LL" says Mr.. A, "if it
is absolutely necessary on account of
the worlds fair crowd to put two
other men in the same room with me,
bring them along. If have to stand
it, will"
"But you don't understand says
the clerk. ''We haven't got any Mr..
B or Mr.. c. to put in your
room. 1t is only a hypothetical case.
We employ it to show that the room
will hold three men, and therefore you
will have to pay nine dollars for it."
''But 1 object to paying the hotel
bills of two other men who hypothetic-
ally occupy my room. l think it is
right that 1 pay for myself alone, and
l call on you to produce Mr.. B and
Mr.. C-and let them pay their own
bills"
But" persisted the hotel man,
don't you see that at present Mr.
B and Mr.. c. are myths We
haven't got them in the hotel at all.
If we had we should put them in your
room and only charge you three dol
lars"
''Do you mean to say, then, you are
going to quarter two myths, two
ghosts, in my room, and charge me
nine dollars for it?''
"Well, you can put it that way if
you want to be humorist."
well, guess not When I want to
sleep in bedroom haunted by two
myths, shall try to hire a couple of
cheap ghosts. Three dollars a day
each is too much"

return to America he began interesting
influential friends in the project of an
Abyssinian trading company 1t was at
this time that he met Kent Loomis, and
il was decided that they should travel
to Abyssinia together with the signed
copy of the treaty. This they were doing
when Loomis disappeared from the Will
when the vessel was off the English
coast.
Ellis is proceeding alone 10 complete
the mission which in reality had been
entrusted to Kent Loomis. He is now
in Abyssinia fastening toward the CAPT.
tai of Menelik, but he is going simply
as messenger, and the African king
has been informed by cable that he rep
resents this country in no official capa-
city.
1t has been suggested that Ellis hoped
to secure great prestage through his de-
livery of the treaty, a prestage which
would give his proposed trading COM
pany unusual concessions. That such
company might find the field profitable
one is proven by Consul Skinner's re-
port in which he says:
Ethiopia is wealthy in resources be-
yond the power of any man to calculate
Gold, silver, asphalt. petroleum, iron and
coal exist in combination with a salu.
brious climate, agricultural productive
ness and a population of singular docil-
ity. With watchful eyes upon the future,
the emperor seeks TO pit one European
power against another in order to pre-
serve the political independence Of his
people, which has been handed down
through the centuries, and in the mean
time he hopes to dsYe!cp the intelligence
and resources Of the population to such a
point as to enabls it to withstand any
pressure from withnut
"The empire hol1seeu no attractions
to the commercial advert turer with linn
tied means. Too many Europeans now
in the field are OF thet class, and the en-
peror, with just reason, Is weary of the
constant clamor for concessions from all
sorts and conditions of persons, whose
only object is to find a purchaser at an
exorbitant figure. On the other hand.
enterprises planned with skill and
backed with sufficient capital may be
undertaken and carried out with every
assurance that property interests will
be respected by tha government and
that promoters of such enterprises will,
be welcomed with catholic spirit.
'.Whatever may be the results OF this
mission, 1t is certain that if the treaty
be ratified it will have rsgularized an un-
certain condition"

Gratis had line of public carriages for
private use that would extend from the
capitol to the white house almost.
There was not the best of feeling be-
tween the executive and legislative de-
partments at that time, as the Bristox
post Office scandal report had Just
come in containing the names of up
wards of 200 congressman as being
connected with irregularities. The
statesmen were eager to find some way
in which to get even" with the de-
partmentS, so they hit upon the plan
of restricting the use of carriages for
official purposes To insure this a pro-
vision was inserted in one of the ap-
preparation bills that no carriage
should be used for personal use and
each should have printed upon it the
name of the department to which it
belonged.
There was a good deal of chuckling
over this latter provision, as it was

1t now turns out that as the law is
construed by it's official interpreter IL
the treasury department, Comptroller
Tracewell, it only applies to those car
riages named in that particular appro-
priation bill. 1t so happens that the
only carriages so named are those for
the use of the superintendent of pub
lie printing and the superintendent Of
the bureau of engraving and printing.
These are two of the hardest worked
officials in the government AMI two
who have more legitimate use for pub
lie conveyances than any others They
are the victims of the scheme to hu-
initiate other officials. Their two car
riages must bear the label of the de-
partments to which they belong, while
all the under secretaries, chiefs of bu-
reaus and other government employees
who have been driving about in gor-
geous undesignated vehicles can con-
tinue the practice.

Bathtubs of Glass.

No longer can the cleanly hygieniC
porcelain bath tub be reckoned the lead
er in bath tubs, for this essential house
hold requisite has now a riyal-an i'm
portation from Germany. This latest
development in bath tubs is of glass,
thick plate glass and moulded in one
piece. OF course, in the homes of the
very wealthy there are bath tubs of much
more costly material than plate glass,
but this newest conner is designed for
ordinary use, the same as the porcelain
type. There are not very many glass tubs
obtainable as yet, but those that have
arrived are attracting attention, particu-
larly from feminine observers, for the
glass looks so bright and clean and fresh.

Timely Suggestion sleigh bells and

lication gives history of the turkey
and states a well established fact in
these words: mo other kind of do
mestic poultry has come into such gem
eral use throughout the entire world
for Thanksgiving and holiday feasts as
the turkey" 1t was enumerated as q
dainty in England in 1541. but in 1873
it had become the customary fare Of
the farmer.
According to Secretary Wilson's lit
tie book the turkey is a most useful
bird. It's raising affords a chance for
money-making and, as compared with
other live stock, it will return a larger
profit when properly handled. 1t is a
self-sustaining forager, as it gains the
greater part of its living from bugs,
grasshoppers and waste grain that it
picks up in its wandering over the
range. Its grower is at little or no cost
for its keep for several weeks. The
statement is made that turkeys are
now used not only for roasting but to
an increasing extent as cold cuts for
sandwiches and for salads, and large
numbers of poults are used for broilers.
