BOYS DRIVEN AWAY.

Were Throwing Lighted Paper Into
 Ventilating Fans.
 Numerous complaints have been made by the officials of the local Young Mems Christian association that boys who were in the habit of warming them selves nights by the big fans in the alley leading to the rear of the building were lighting paper and throwing it in under the fan. They had been driven away time and again, but persisted in lighting the paper; so the janitor of the building complained last night to police headquarters and a policeman was sent to keep them away.
 The practice was very dangerous one. as the paper, famed by the large fan which is used for ventilating pur- poses, made a large flame and could easily set fire to the surrounding wood work.

they are ever reeurringf %ie history of this country that is Talking these days is more or less gsfnerously sup piled with discussion 'pn the great question and in consequence many things dealing with the subject have been written and numberlIess are dram atized. Of these none isl stronger nor depicts the situation more truthfully in keeping with actual reality than the superb melodrama, A Human Slave" by William L. Roberts. It is 8 story of life in a great city, which brings vividly before all auditors the strenu- ous struggle between the rich and the poor of a great metropolis. The story hinges on the wrongful usuption and management of immensely rich rolling mills by an interruptions nephew, Mel win Thornton, of the wealthy owner by means of a forged will. This is done to the serious detriment of the worthy daughter of the family, Mrs. Mildred Atherton, and her effrost to regain pos session of her rightfui nroperty form the basis of the story enacted. The great reason for the attitude of Thorn ton and his refusal to countenance the claim of Mrs. Atherton was because of her refusal to leave the man of her choice, an honest young engineer, who has met with hard luck and is unable to provide for his wife as was befitting her station. The nephew resorts to all sorts of treachery to accomplish his end
 but he is met with rebuffs from the many plain but honest friends of the wronged woman.
 The company is very good one and
 gave a most satisfactory performance. Especially good were Miss Olive Martin, Miss Edna Renning, W. H. Dehlman,
 James McElhern, James Harrison and
 w. J. Maddern.
 The mechanical effects and stage set tings are exceedingly realistic, espe- cially that of the mill room, shown in
 the third act, where the great plate milsl are in actual operation. The scenes which ensue, refusal to grant
 an increase of wages, is thrilling in the extreme and there are several other stirring climaxes.
 There are bits of refreshing humor in the play and this keeps interest at a fever heat.
 "A Human Slave" will be repeated
 at the Grand tonight and tomorrow night and there will be a Saturday | matinee.

WOMEN MAKE PAPER MONEY
Even the Guides at the Bureau of En-
 graving and Printing ' Are Girls.

The government and the banks, and even the post offices, would be in hole for a time if all the women in the bureau of engraving and printing should drop dead all at once. That shop would have to close up pretty quick. Why, you can't even go over there and look around with out woman to show you. All the guides to the Bureau for the benefit of tourists and other ignorant people-which in cludes all Washington people, for Wash ington people are the most ignorant peo- pie on earth about Washington institu- tions-all the guides, and there are seven of them, are women, young women and pretty women at that, says the Washing ton Post
 And how the people do visit there! Three thousand week, said guide That's 500 day. And that's one min ute for every working hour of the day. Pretty constantstream of callers that
 Not so many years ago three decrepit old men were the guides. Now the seven are women. which is significant, and one that typifies the work done in the bureau, for here, of the 5000 employees, more than half are of the feminine persuasion
 These young and good looking guides will explain how American money is printed on the back, then put in cold storage, where it goes through drying process; then sorted and the imperfect sheets thrown out; then printed on the face, and then perforated and put up in packages to be sent to the treasury | for the government seal
 They generally tell how useless it would be for any one to try to rob the wagon containing this money. Tn the first place, because six guards always ac- company. it; and. in the second place, because the money at this stage of it's manufacture wouldn't be any good, any 1 way
 Tt is seven days after bill is printed on it's back before 1t is printed on the 1 face, said the visitors guide 'It takes 90 days to make a silver dollar bill, and l 40 to make gold one. The gold one is printed three times, twice on one side 4 because it has to have the word gold and little splotch of gold on this side before Che face can be printed" Then she led the visitor to the framed dollar bill fastened to one of the walls ir the hall, and showed these bills, calling special attention to the gold certificate and then led the way back to the front door and said adieu. It was all over ir ten minutes

Strikes in Russia.

When strikes occur, there is no de- lay in dealing with them. Troops are mobilized at once. The printers ir Moscow, for example, struck last au- tumn, says the Worlds Work. The strikers marched in procession along e few streets, clamoring for shorter hours. They complained that they had been compelled to work overtime and that no compensation had been given for the extra labor. Gen. Trepor, chief of police, issued a notice that any man refusing to return to work would be excluded forever from Moscow. This stopped the movement. Such notices have stopped similar move ments elsewhere.

INSECTS LuRED BY LIGHT.
Numerous Species of Bugs Afford Good Beasts for Nocturnal
 Animals.

Interesting results have followed the introduction of the electric light in the streets of Port of Spain, Trinidad. The largely populated insect world of that region had never before seen such bril- liant illumination as the arc lights of fered, and they have shown great curi- osity, says the New York Sun.
 Every morning the ground under the lamps is found to be strewn with thou sands of dead insects of many varieties. It is impossible to walk without treading on them.
 If the supply of Insects were not mex haustible, some of the varieties would certainly be doomed to extinction. In fact, one kind is evidently lessnumerous now than before the electric lights were installed.
 This is kind of giant waterbug, of which such incredible numbers were de- stroyed that the bug has come to be gen. erally known as the electric beetle. The lamps are no longer visited by the crowds of these bugs that at first came to inquire into the meaning of the strange brilliance. Either the species has been greatly depleted through the destruction of many thousands of. it's members, or else some kind of instinct has told them that arc lamps are danger ous things to meddle with.
 The owls in their wisdom have learned to profit by the fascination which the arc lamp. has for insects. As the iIlum- ination is turned on at nightfall the owls may be seen vending their way to the neighborhood of the lamps, for they have. discovered that their prey is more, abundant there than anywhere else. ] The feast is spread before them and all they have to do is to dash out from the trees and capture moth or beetle that is winging it's way to the dazzling goal. Then the owls return to their perches and wait for the next conner
 The bats also have learned to make use of the lights in this unsportsman- like manner for catching moths and i other insects
 Not a few explorers in tropical regions have complained that 1t is impossible to have light in camp during the night l without mourning unpleasant visitations | from myriads of insects. One of them recently wrote that he was often forced I to dine in the dark, as an attempt to use I light attracted swarms of flies which got into his eyes and dropped into his I food.
 The naturalist, Eugene Andre, in his recent description of journeys in the Qria uoco basin, found that he. could carry on his work of collecting insects atnight by the use of lights. One evening an as- sistant took number of fashlight photographs by using the magnesium light
 An invasion of the camp by moths and other insects at once occurred, and An dre secured more than 100 specimens, On the following morning he found the singed and mutilaten remains of many others that had perished miserably
 lured by the strange spell which a bright
 light casts upon them.
