Bird sIauahter by Japanese.

Honolulu letter in the San Francisco
 Chronicle.
 Captain Hamlet of the Thetis states that the destruction wrought by the par ty of Jananese poachers ol Lisiansky island to bird life was something ap- palling. He estimates that they killed at least 900 birds. to judge from the num- Der of cases of plumage and the amount , of meat they secured All of their spoil preserved and will keep for long time. There are 335 of these cases the plumage in them being of the highest quality.
 The Japanese who were brought here by the Thetis are the remains of party of bird poachers whose presence on an American island was reported by Captain Niblack of the United States steamer 1roquois some weeks ago. ana the The tis was sent to stop their operations buu she arrived to find them only too anx- ious to leave their hunting ground and to abandon spoil which IS worth at least $20. .000
 The Japanese were employed by To- kio firm and they fitted out in the schoo- Ter Yeiju Maru in Yokohama last Decem- Der. Their destination was Lisansky is land a wonderful center of ocean b:rd life in midi Pacific not far from Midway island The island is the property of the United States.
 According 10 their story they arrived at Lisianslky island on January 8, and commenced to kill birds They had staff not only of hunters but also of skill ed taxidermists and skinners. for the birds plumage was intended for the mlli- nery markets of Paris. The men collect ed skins and wings by tHe thousand. the birds being very tame.
 On January l, fierce gale struck the island and the Yeiju Maru. dragging her anchor. struck a coral reef and was to- tally lost, ten of the men who happened to be on board being drowned. Seventy seven men were left helpless on the is- land.

The Use of Tobacco.
e Phlladelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 The internal revenue statistics relating to tobacco show that in one industry there is prosperity of high order Dur ing the fiscal year closed June 30, last the revenue from 6,707, All 1863 cigars was S20,- 122, 415.59, which Is falling off in revenue of 236,75601 and a decline in cigar pro- duction for the last year of 7S91S,670 cigars. In chewing and smoking tobacco there was, however, tremendous in- crease These two forms of the filthy weed yielded a revenue of $19, ,19, ,042 61 which was an increase of nearly 1S000.- GOO pounds in a twelvemonth. There Is a notable increase in the production of It, tie cigars, and the cigarettes manufactur- ed numbered 3. .226. 6S2, ,261. or an increase of 194, 7SS, ,529. There is tradition still extant to the effect that women were largely given to the use of snuff a good many years ago, and there is a general belief that the practice has died out. The inter- nal revenue statistice show that a huge mountain of snuff was made last year. 20, 0,157.5SO pounds-and that the increase over the previous year in snuff manufac- ture was 1,316,S33 pounds. The habit of chewing tobacco is dying out in certain localities, but the smokers are becoming a larger band every year. and they use tobacco during good times and bad times.

alWays a good observer, and he stores away in the pocket of his memory little, trivial pencilings that may be revived by the slightest touch of the simplest cord. The perfume of a particular flower may be recalled by one note. It is the pro- vince of the ballad to appeal to all the
 senses and return to the mind it's own.
 The AL c. Field Greater Minstrels is
 noted for having the best ballad sing
 CTS in the country. New songs are offer ed each season and they are chosen to suit the talent of the singer. No detail is neglected in bringing out the beauties of these songs and accessories and cn- vironment are selected to give color to the melodies. Those Songs My Mother Used to Sing Is the title of one of the popular banads surg this season. One note of this ballad may bring back to you a smile of your mother, a particular dress she used to wear. or perhaps if will recall that big medallion pin that she wore at her throat.
 II is said that Blind Tom played me- chanically and that his heart never res- bonded to his notes, and that Shakes peare wrote after the same fashion. It IS also said that the man who wrote
 Home Sweet Home" never had a home Yet he sang to million hearts. It nav be so. Perhaps ones feelings may be- come so acute that they work meehani- cally' automatically. It is believed, how ever, that the best ballad singers are the best because they feel the most and they sing song most effectively when most in sympathy with it.
 Fields Minstrels will play their usua1 annual engagement at the Jefferson thea Ire next Friday and Saturday and Sat- lrday matinee.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

Vaudeville has had boom in Ameica the past several years. It is a style of performance peculiarly suited to Ameri- can theatre patrons. and so long as meri- torious specialties could be secured man agers who presented vaudeville enter tainments reaped rich harvest. Head liners, as the leading vaudeville artists are styled, were not numerous enough to sustain the interest in vaudeville thea tres.
 Europe has contributed largely to the those who have come across the water. Cornalla & Eddie have been among he most successful in winning favor on this side. Their novel performance Is not only funny. but highly artistic.
 Their burlesque juggling with plates, pans, chairs and hats elicits screams of laughter. Their artistic acrobatic &C., complishments ere no less applauded. As fun makers, but lew in their line equal

The play points a beautiful moral in depicting the extent to which a man will go when in love, in order to win thA woman upon whom he has set his affec- tions. There are two great sensations in ''The Waif's Paradise" one at the eli max of the fourth act, where the he roine leaps from the top floor of burn Ing building and is caught by Seth. T who is suspended high above the river by means of working dredge.
 Another sensation occurs in the last act, where the william seizes a baby, and throwing 1t into the cage of Hons. John Homan, CHoward Hall) dashes into the cage, seizes the child in his arms, fights his way to safety and places her in the arms of her mother. The Hon incident in the Man Who Dared" sinks into insignificance in comparison with this
 situation. The story of the play Is en- tirely original in conception and treat ment. You can laugh or cry according to your temperament.

 Richard Mansfield has returned to his home in New London after spending the larger portion of the week in New York, adjusting details rels. to his coming season. His company will remain sub . stantially the same as last year with the addition of about half dozen other lead ing players. The season begins October 31 and rehearsals will begin in two weeks for the chorus and extra peopl and about
 October l for the principals. Before reaching New York. MT. Mansfield will appear In Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and few other intervening cities. These ci4ns have not seen his masterly perfor-
 nance for the Tzar in Ivan the Terri be'' and this production together with his revivals from his lengthy repertoire will be conspicuous. This season as last. MT Mansfield intenus to create two new roles, though he has determined to here after keep his repertoire well in hand. 1ne of the new roles Is a great histori- cal feature. Mir. Mansfield has declined | to announce the character specifically, | doubtless having In mind the avidity with which stock companies and tour ing companies seize upon his announce ments cues for hastily prepared and inadequate representations on analogous topics. The second role is q translation l. Is of heroic proportions but Is entirely fictitious. In returning to New London, MT. Mansfield went aboard his yacht Amorita. at Larchmon. and sailed up the sound.

 So emphatic was the triumph of Paul Gilmore last season. in "The Mummy and tha Running Bird" that despite the fact that his new vehicle had been con traeted for he has had to continue play- ing the role of Lord Jack" Lumley this season. This star and production will be seen here soon.

In these days of chorus the stage does not offer enough ballads, these simple songs that tell of the common affairs of the heart. A ballad is solo and car ries with it the Individuality of the sim ger. There Is no form of music more democratic than that expressed by the simple ballads of the day; they appeal to the million They express more than classical music because there Is always a story lingering among their words; a ballad Is a combination or word pictures and melody. They tell story and carry the audience back to scenes that are familiar to him. Tney are valuable for their associations, and revive old Impressions.
