SAND MOUNTAIN TIED DOWN
Creeping Joe" Threatened to shu'
 Of Water Supply of Manistee, Mich, But Is Checked.

Grover Cleveland was the cause ol half of a resort blowing away near this city, says Manistee (Mich,) report to the Chicago Tribune.
 When the former president was first nominated the democrats of the town were so wild about 1t they hauled sev eral wagon loads of combustibles on top of 3 great sand mountain that since has been known as Creeping Joe Over the summit of the mount had been grown 8 tough turf that kept the sand in place and prevented the wind from blowing it away. The fire that the unterrified set ablaze on the big dune that night burned up all of the grass. It was Withered to the root and died out No sooner had this occurred than old Boreas began playing pranks with the sand. He threatened to blow the entire mountain into Lake Micht gan or to scatter it in layers over the city of salt. Creeping Joe," little by little began sitting himself on the big pumping house, erected at immense ex pense. Little grains of sand" in this instance didn't make beautiful land and they came near shutting off the water supply of the town. Finally the people procured slips from variety of trees that thrive in sand. The slips were set close together in rows about three feev apart. Most of them took root and Creeping Joe'' was securely tied down by Dame Nature.

WOMEN GOOD DETECTIVES
Portage Point, Wis, Summer Resort
 CTS Have Several Female Sleuths Among Them.

The young women who are gathered at Portage Point, Wis, for the summer have an odd procedure in trying to de- eide whether or not particular arrival is honeymoon pair. Each young wom- an is to closely observe the actions of the pride and the groom suspected. says the Chicago Tribune.
 They note how he addresses her at the table. the glances they cast at each oth- CT, whether he sees that she is helped well. and whether she inquires into the sweetening of his coffee. Every little thing Is cloAely scrutinized and nothing escapes ten pairs of eyes always on the watch. Tn the evening the little com- pany gathers around big fireplace, or perhaps big log fire on the Lake Michi- gan beach. Then each girl tells what she saw and heard and ventures an opinion on her own testimony When all have told their stories vote is taken and the newcomers are decided to be newly wed or not.

POL IS
MARIE WAINWRIGHT.

Those who favor the Shakespe drama may look for rare treat in Marie Wainwrights impersonation of Viola in Twelfth Night" this evening at Polls. Tn all the wide range of English dramatic literature there is no play so diversified of incident and character as "Twelfth Night" Shake speare never showed versatility in his study of men in more marked de gree. nor touched them off with more delicious humor than in the variety of characters he brings into view in this charming comedy. That Miss Vain wright is the best Viola on the Amer tican stage seems to be the consensus (of the general critical opinion, and that as Cesarto, that is, as Viola III male attire, she is the most exquisite {picture, a beautiful vision of supreme grace, is the generally conceded fact. Her support is, of course, adequate, lso that a thoroughly good performance may be looked for. Prices are 20, 50, 75c cents, $1 and $1.50

TYPEWRITER RIBBONs.

Typewriter ribbons appear to follow the law of most other inanImate things, namely, that 1t is possible to rest them, so that when apparently about worn out they can be revived This is on the testimony of a man who uses machine for all his work, which amounts to very considerapIe. He says that when his ribbon gets very pale he reels 1t off on a spool, wraps it in oiled paper and puts it away in a damp, cool place. By the time his next ribbon begins to show the same signs of wear he takes the ribbon that he had put away and uses it gain.
 1t is. about as good as new, but of course it's second life is Is not so long as it's first one. The explanation of this phenomenon is that the eoloring matter in the tiny spots All over the ribbon which have escaped the striking of the keys is softened by the moisture and spreads throughout the fabric to the portions which have been exhausted. The method here described is said to be much better than that of steaming an old ribbon, because time permits tho coloring matter to diffuse itself more evenly.-- Philadelphia Record.

tistic triumph, however, which has been echoed throughout the dramatic world, and which was conceded by Alan Dale and all the leading critics of New York, Game as the biggest the atrical surprise that Gotham has ex- perieneed in may years. The reason IS obvious Resurrection is sort of epoch-making play; 1t almost en- 3Hrely concerns the central character 1 of Masloya, and the measure in when it appeals to the audience is governed absolutely by the manner in which the role is portrayed. The illusion winch is necessary to be sustained and the tremendous transitions of mood under uniquely entrusted conditions, which must be made to seem real, require dramatic genius for it's fuIfillment. Such play would work the ruin of an incompetent artist, no matter how popular she might be, but would es- tablish the fame of an unknown gen 1us in a night. In coming to Water bury Miss Walsh brings the same cast and production that marked the New York engagement Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

FAOOLF IAA1 A- A AAI JAW v A]o' The exceptional popularity that Miss Georgia Waldron has enjoyed in Waterbury ever since her first visit to this city as a co-star with David Hlg- gins in the latter's play "At Piney Ridge" has been splendidly exemp1i- fled the past two days at the Jacques, lwhere she is this week making her first flyer in vaudeville. She was al ways charming actress, particularly strong in emotional roles, and in her vaudeville comedietta, Which WILL Win?" she is showing the same fine artistic sense for comedy. Naturally enough, with so popular headlineI, the Jacques is the Mecca for amuse- ment seekers this week, and there is possibility of the attendance reaching record breaking figures. Another act that comes in for much attention is that of Polley's Ragtime Quintet. It is a novelty in its way, with the five performers all rattling off ragtime piano music at the one time, and is as lively coon act as Waterbury has ever had. The remainder of the bill is very fine,s with the acts contributed
 by Polk and Trask, c. W. Littleheld,
 Jerome Meredith and company, Miss
 Marion Carson, Wood and Berry and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Route of the Roholink.

The amount of travelling done by some of our birds is astonishing. Dr. Cooke says that the common night hawk spends the summer in Alaska and the winter in Patagonia. The bobolink, which is the reed bird ot the middle states and the rice bird of the south, winters on the waving pam pas of southern Brazil. It covers 700 miles from Cuba to the South Amer ican coast in a single flight, follow Ing a track not popular with other birds, which might be called the bobo- link route.-Saturday Evening Post

Mr.. Hill did not appoint the man
the man who won his battle in 1885
a victory that opened the way to
the United States Senate-until he
was besought by powerful delega-
tions of lawyers. If there Is pol,ti-
cal debt existing between Judge
Parker and MIR. Hill on account of
that bygone time, MIR. Hill, and not
Judge Parker, is the debtor. 1t is q
sign Of a chivalrous nature that Judge
Parker has never sought to better his
political prospects by calling atten-
tion to the actual facts. He has been
denounced as Mr.. Hill's creature, for
no other reason than that, nineteen
years ago, MIR. Hill named HIM to fill
brief unexplred judicial term. To
those who know Judge Parker and
have had experience of his strength
and Independence, nothing can be

that Judge Parker is not in
