. MarveIousIy Interesting Enter
tainment.

Klaw & Changers great spect-
acle, "Mother Goose" at the New
Amsterdam Theatre. is a marvellous
ly interesting entertainment, pre-
senting a mor generous measure
Of amusement than was ever af-
forded by any theatrical production.
For three solid hours, from the rise
to the final fall of the curtain, an
unbroken procession of ~comicality
and novelty is seen. Laughter and
wonder are the keynotes of the
piece---laughter at TIE humor Of the
comedians and wonder over its re-
markably beautiful spectacular fea-
lures and the unusually brilliant
specialties.
The production is not only real
ly great in all it's aspects, but the
company is also a note worthy one.
1t presents not only fouro of the best
known comedians on the American
stage---Joe Cawthorne, Harry Bull
SGIj Wllildu II. NuOZdl diio SiiltOh
Crawford---but also several noted
actresses like Viola Gillette, Lii
liam Mcintyre and Aimes Angeles
and over 800 other talented men
and women performers. With prin-
cipals, choirs, ballet and all engaged
in the presentation of this spectacle
over 400 people are employed
These are days of great things,
and the public demand for the novel
and the remarkable is felt most
keenly in the theatre, requiring the
expenditure of fortunes to meet the
desire for the extraordinary Ill enter
tainment. The production of
Mother Goose from every stand
point, far exceeds the most extra
VACANT conception of the playgoers
and presents an amusement the like
of which has never been seen in
New York prior to its premier at
the Amsterdam Theatre.
Seats may be secured for every
performance in the next four weeks
and may be ordered by mail, accom-
panied by remittance.

~LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE.
More Numerous Among the Criminal
Glass Than Anio9E Honest Men,
Says DIR. LombrOsO.

It has been generally understood that
1t is a misfortune to be left-handed, but
few of us are ready to be told that the
disqualification is a moral one. The
%peasantry of northern Italy have been
accustomed, however, to use the phrase
to describe untrustworthiness and, ac-
cording to their distinguished country
man, DR.. Cesaye Lombroso, they have
only blundered in their popular speech
into one of the latest of his own scien-
tiic discoveries, says the London Globe.
As DR.. Lombrcso puts the case, we NAV,
with a good Geal of safety, ass that
a left-handed man will be a bad man.
There is a much larger percentage of
people who are not r~ight-handed among
criminals than among honest men; ana
If our Investigators figures are to be
trusted, left-handed women are in vet
more evil case. Swindlers are asserted
to show the largest proportion of left
handedness among admitted criminals.
1t would be curious to inquire whether
there are other races besides the Lom-
bards and T@scans in which The excep-
tional proneuess of left-handed persons
to vice has passed into a proverb. One
would certainly desire evidence from a
wider induction of facts than seem to
be yet available before accepting Or.
Lombroso's startling generalization.

3 WORCESTER, Mass, Jan. II. "A
Telegram special from Clinton says two
masked men held up a Worcester con-
solidated street car on Main street, get

Il n from Hudson to Lancaster and
was headed for Lancaster. In a sparse

with their revolyers, the men backed
away, disappearing in the darkness.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Ameri.
can line steamer New York, which has
arrived from Southampton, was closely
followed by the French line steamer
La Savoie, ten minutes being the diff
ference in the time of arrival at the
lightship. Both steamers encountered
terrific gales and seas.
The New York had severe gales from
the north northwest, with violent
squalls and high head seas. The ship
had slowed down in a gale to secure
some gear when an enormous sea curl
ed over the bow and swept overheard

A life buoy was sent after him, and
almost instantly Second Officer Keys,
taking a turn about his body with q
line, jumped into the sea after the sea.
man, who had in the meantime Sc
cured a hold on the buoy. Before the
second officer could get to the unfortu-
nate man he lost his grasp on the buoy
and disappeared. The second officer
was then hauled on board.
1t is thought that Comulisch was be-
numbed by the cold, having been some
time on duty on the forecastle deck.
Among the steerage passengers were
two small negro boys from South At
RIGA. They afforded great amusement
for the passengers by dancing. They
are about eight years old. The New
York brought $1,045,000 in specie.
The La Savoie also caught the gale
of the 9th, and a huge rolling way Of
tremendous height swept over the bow,
dashed aft with tremendous force,
smashed in the forward bulkhead of
the smoking room under the bridge
and flooded that compartment. The
ship was slowed down Immediately.
The sea struck the ship at IL o'clock,
and all the passengers were up, but be-
came alarmed at the staggering effect
of the shock. The forward bulkhead
under the bridge was smashed in, caus-
ing a hole about twelve feet across.
Rails and stanchions were also bent
and broken.

GOOD INCOMES AS AGENTS.
Field for Women, Says One En-
thusiastic Feminine Solicitor.

Life insurance work offers a proflta-
BILE field to women nowadays. If she be
bright and energetic she easily car real
lie an income of 5000 a year. Her com
missicrs depend entirely On her " en-
beavers.
1.-The possibilities for women in the
life insurance are limitless," said one OF
the best known women workers. with
all the women that are working OF il
now it still is a practically unworked
field.
From my experience IN the business
I should say that it is the best possible
line for a woman to enter. She is abso-
lutely Independent, ard, best Of all, she
knows she is making money. Further
mere, she is able to lift herself out of the
rut of woman's occupations in general.
"In life insurance a woman has the
most broadening experience. She meets
all classes of people. In a short time she
develops new faculties. She learns tc
read human nature, which is the telling
part of the business. For her own benefit
I should advise any young girl or woman
whose circumstances compel her to earn
Ter own living to grasp these excellent
opportunities"

the White House 1t did not take him
long to discover the tact ability and
other admirable qualities of Mr. Cor
telyou. The late ]. Addison Porter was
the nominal private secretary, after
wards secretary to the President, but
President Mckinley leaned more heav-
lily upon Mr.. Cortelyou in the admins
tration of public affairs When Mr..
Porter retired Mr.. Cortelyou was i'm
medtately promoted to be secretary to
the President.
The whole world knows how close
he was to the lamented Mckinley, and
1t is generally known that in all his
dealings with the three Presidents un-
der whom he served he was never
found wanting in his fidelity. Judgment
and good, common sense. His knowl-
edge of men and the varied informa-
ton he absorbed bearing on national
affairs was all utilized to aid and as
sist his chief in successful administra-
ton. His remarkable memory, his mas
terly management of details. and his
readiness to assume responsibility at
the proper time and place often reliev-
ed his chief from embarrassment or an
noyance, and inspired those about him
with greater confidence in his extra
ordinary ability.
Probably the greatest display of self
possession on the part of Mr.. Cortelyou
was at Buffalo. when President Nc
Kinley was stricken down. 1t will be
recalled that when the wounded Pres
ident was conveyed to the Emergency
Hospital on the exposition grounds a
dozen willing surgeons rushed forward
and volunteered their services.
