A FLOATING THEATER.
People Along Three Great Rivers Sup
piled With Amusements.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A floating theater designed to supply the
towns along the Ohio. Illinois and Missis-
sippi rivers with dramatic entertainments,
has recently been constructed and is about
to start on it's journeyngs Its seating ca
pacity is for / 600 people, and there are
boxes for the elite and pit for the or
chestra. In addition the vessel is sufh-
GENTLY large to admit of numerous sleep
ing rooms for the actors. the deck hands
and all those connected with either the
show or the boat. The entire force num-
bers forty On the steamer which lows
the floating theater. besides the boilers and
engines there is a complete electric light
plant besides kitchen and dining room,
In view of the fact that the long water
route of the floating theater carries it into
the warmer portions of the south the sea-
son for the show does not close until la
in the southern winter The entire route
comprises 900 miles The boat starts at
Pittsburg and visits the towns Of the coal
miners and steelworkers along the Monon-
gahela river. Next it returns and goes
down the Ohio to the Kanawha, thence to
Cairo, and later up the Illinois river to La
Sale Then, after going back to the Mis-
sissippi the boat slowly makes it's way in
the direction of New Orleans. The idea or
n floating theater is not exactly new, but
the extensive scale upon which it is being
instead of the vaudeville program that is
being presented attracts unusual atten>
ton Faust" is the production which has
been presented this season
Along the route of the floating theater
the towns are often but ten or fifteen miles
apart Therefore the jumps of the boat
and it's company are not long ones. On
the upper deck of the steamer is a cal
liope Long before the theater reaches the
town in which it is to show the sounds OF
this instrument may be heard. The idle
population of the river towns at once be-
gins to assemble on the wharf. AS the
steamer comes within a few hundred feet
of the dock the caliope is silenced and a
brass band strikes up a familiar air. Inc
crowd on the wharf then grows larger.
Many are there awaiting the first opportu-
nifty to secure reserved seats. When the
boat touches the wharf the sailors, some
of whom are later transformed into actors,
make the vessel fast and put the gang
plank In place. The scenery is arranged
and the orchestra rehearses while the cook
is preparing the next meal in the kitchen.
The people come aboard and select their
seats, instead of doing so from diagram
on shore AT night the theater is bril-
| liantly lighted by electricity, and search
light flashes over the surrounding terri
tory. The entertainment lasts about three
hours.

WILL MAKE WAR ON PANAMA.
Colombia Advised This Country Will

inasmuch as Generals Reyes and Cavallero
have assured Colombia that the United
States will only object 10 her landing forces

The only explanation of this news from
Bogota is that the government of Colombia
is compelled to take some steps to prevent
its downfall. This is said to be imminent
az President Marroquin has lost all the
prestige he ever had. There is much specu-
lation in Bogota to the outcome of this
move should it be put through.

All the men were armed with bows and
arrows, guns of quaint and old pattern and
other weapons. Their faces were besmear-
ed with paint. There is no doubt that their
intentions were hostile. They hoped to
reach and surprise the ship.
The commander of the Bancroft ordered
the gunboat cleared for action, and her
guns were loaded and trimmed ready for
use. A quick-firing Colt gun was placed
near the gangway and orders were given to
the gunners of this piece to keep up q
ceaseless fire all round the canoes.
