MUSIC STOPS A
lHEATER PANIC
Mouse Scares Woman in Balcony
Fir" Cry Imperils Many J.
Lives.
W York Sun Special Service.

Philadelphia, April 29.-Panic fol-
lowed a cry of fire at the matinee in
the Standard theater yesterday. Five
hundred men and women stampeded,
rushing madly for the doors. "A score
of women tainted and several children
were injured.
At the beginning of the third act Of
"A Life's Story" a mouse ran under
the skirts of a woman in the balcony.
She screamed. Several boys in the
gallery shouted fire" Instantly the
audience started in a wild fight to
gain the street.
\ In the excitement a mother threw
her child. a baby of 2syears, from the
balcony into the parquet, shouting to
several men there to save the infant.
They caught the baby and returned it
to the rmother when order was re-
stored. s"
When the panic was at it's height,
Fannie Granger, an actress, ran to. the
footlights and commanded the orches-
ira to play. AS the music rose above
the shouts of the frightened men and
women, ushers, retaining their wits,
forced those of the crowd who re-
manned into their seats.
The music had it's effect. Slowly
the mass of humanity was untangled.
Warren Hill, the stage manager, ad-
yanced to the footlights and assured
the audience there was no cause for
alarm. s.

A FRENCH WoMAN's UNIQUE AL.
-. MANIAC 49,.

The. old time almanac, with its predic-
lions of snow in December, cold In Febru-
ary, rains in April and heat in July, was
taken half seriously in backwoods dis
tricts.in America half a century ago. To-
day such an almanac is too trite a sub
iect even for jest. Yet Nine. de Tribes Of
Paris has issued an almanac whose pre-
tensions to prophecy make the humble at
tempts Of the American weather prognos-
ticator of half a century ago seem insig-
nifcant indeed. For March she predicts
extrayagant and exciting stock exchange
deals; for April, unexpected and ridiculous
marriages and divorces; for May, a. crisis
in France and the death Of the German
emperor, while Austria will be menaced in
June. 1t is scarcely necessary to go thru
the year with Nine de Tribes list OF
.calamities and the many tragic signs
she processes to see for America. includ-
ing some physical catastrophe which will
bring much mouEning.n Prophecy is ar
easy business till the Inventory as to re-
suits and fulfllment is made out.

Joseph Kreig, a farmer Of Sand

had occasion to go to an adjoining
room. She pushed the door open and
it flew back, hitting her in the face.
She opened it again, and again the
door closed on her as tho someone
was pushing from the other side.
She ran into the room where the
guests were assembled, and told her
father that someone was in the room
and held the door against her. Mr..
Kreig went to the door and met with
the same experience that his daughter
had encountered. He then rushed
Violently against the door and was
hurled back into the room, the door

parently being thrown back by some
one on the opposite side. Mr.. Kreig
told his daughter to bring his shotgun,
but it was ir. the room where the
supposed burglar held the door. A
revolver was substituted.
George Kreig forced his head thru
the opening and attempted to peer be-
hind the door, but it was forced back
against him so that it caught, his neck,
and he was glad to pull his head back
without getting a look at the intruder.
Then two Of the guests were sent
outside to guard the windows, and the
elder Kreig armed himself with a stick

WANT ROADS TO
TRADE in MINNIE
Fort Smelling Officers Prefer
Flour City Drill Hall Is
Assured.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build.
ing, Washington.
Washington, April 29.-Represen-.
tatives Stevens and Lind had a two
hour session with officials of the war
department to-day regarding the work
at Fort Smelling. The department has
already assigned 47,000 for the bar
racks and a recommendation has been
secured from the duartermaster's de-
partment and along down the line for
a cavalry drill hall.
After August there will be four
squadrons of cavalry at Fort Smelling
and Messrs. Stevens and Lind are
anxious to inaugurate the drill hall.
The original idea was to set apart
$4,000 for that purpose, but as the
result Of to-day's conference this sum
will be Increased. to- S 35, 600. This
will be. ample to provide a drill hall
as good as any in the country.
Representative Lind also secured
the promise of blue prints showing the
existing roads in the reservation and
the tentative roadway scheme de-
signed for the enlarged reservation by
Major Pond. Lind will lay these be-
| fore the city council and urge 1t to CO.
operate with the war department in
opening passable streets and roads
| into the reservation.
| This spring Lind saw several Off
GERS formerly stationed at Fort
Smelling and they informed him that
| if Minneapolis would extend a street

the gauntlet of saloons, Z disorderly
houses and drunken men when going

It is understood at the war depart
ment, on the word Of officers former

extensions of railway and roads would
have been made long ago but for the

erted in the council against them.

inhabitants Of three villages sought In
vain for the lost child. Finally a Gordon

JAPS ACTIVE ON YALU
NIikado's Troops Ready for Vigorous
| Campaign Against Russians.

London, April 28.-The Express
correspondent at Chi-fu wires:
News has reached me from au-
thentic sources Of the significant move
ment on the Yalu foreshadowing de-
cisive events. The Japanese seem re-
solved to undertake. a vigorous often
sive campaign against the Russian
forces holding the northern bank Of
the river.
''The operations planned are COM
bined naval and military seizure Of the
island of Samalindo. The establish
ment Of several pontoon bridges has
been followed by the crossing Of troops
runs that the Japanese have occupied
kiulien-cheng, on the right bank
above Antung. The crossing COM
1nenced April rs. qPontoonse were
towed across the river, by torpedo
boats and placed in position under the
cover Of their fire.
It could have been no easy matter,
the river being three miles wide and
impeded by blocks Of ice and frozen
snow. The Russian resistance was
desperate but brief. Their artillery
did little damage and destroyed only
one torpedo boat.
. 1.-THE Japanese infantry, number
ing 4,000 or 5000, crossed with very
trifing loss. On the same day a naval
demonstration was made at the mouth
Of the Yalu.
"The japanese admiral Hosoya,
commanding the third squadron, as
cended the estuary with some gum
boats and came under the fire of the
Russian field batteries, which were
posted nearly opposite Yongampho, to
which the gt1nboats responded. On
the following day body of Cossacks,
about 100 strong, attacked launch
that had ventured too near the shore,
but were repulsed and fed into the
mountains.

engaged in conveying and covering the
expeditionary force intending a dis
embarkation to the west of the Yalu
at Tatugkao or Ta-ku-shan and TAX
