New Game Highly Entertaining.

We are in receipt of the new game
Geo, sent to us through the courtesy
of r. A. Woodland, president of the
Relache Novelty Go. ,:of West Union.
The game is an invention of West
Union parties and has become the
rage wherever it has been introduced
among admirers of similar pastimes.
The game is founded ON U. S. His
tory, and while it is wholesome, in
teresting and exciting, it's constantly
giving the player information that
becomes useful to him in everyday
life. Its purpose is to make the
players familiar with the history OF
our country, and it is done by system
of cards, representing the states and
territories, boundaries, largest rivers,
etc. of the United States. the scheme
of playing being developed to such al
exciting degree that it becomes in
tensely interesting for old and young
alike.

Great Attraction Tomorrow Night.

The New York Herald has made
Richard F. Outcault's quaint concep-
tion of Buster Brown" known to
almost everybody, and now he has
been dramatized and put upon the
stage by Mr.. Melville B. Raymond,
who has secured the sole theatrical
rights. Buster is an appealing and
amusing little fellow, and with his
dog, Tige, is the moving spirit in a
vast number of humorous complica-
tions and side-splitting adventures.
These are set in handsome frame
work and adorned with large
chorus, ballet and group of
American Beauties whom Wanamaker
has made to look like Queens of
Society. Master Giovanni, a very
clever boy, is Buster, and Jack Bell,
is Tige. Buster Brown will be
played at the Grand tomorrow night
II should be a most welcome attrac-

Buster Brown at Toledo, Ohio, Last Week

Buster Brown" was greeted by
the sort of house that just suited the
show-bang up, filled from cellar to
roof. 1t was long-drawn out piece
of solid amusement that universally
pleased, and if anybody went there
with the "blue devils they were
speedily exercised. Buster is a
brick, and so is ''Tige," the canine
intelligence of the latter being almost
human. Then, the singing and dane
ing, particularly the dancing, and the
Caledorian march-well, if you missed
Buster Brown, you missed it; that s
all.
Fully one hundred persons were
turned away from the Grand last
night, as all the seats were sold before
the curtain went up, and no standing
room sales are permitted now. For
balcony seats several persons offered
dollnar each, but there were none to
be procured.

TROUT ATE THE MUsKRAT.
Old Fisherman Tells a Whopper That
Beats Them All.

The fellows had caught a fish that
was beauty, a five.and-a-half-poun
rainbow trout. and everything else had
taken back seat to his lordship, who
lay swaying to and fro in the well
which was at the spring, surrounded
by an open-mouthed audience, which
had to be called a second time to sup
per. and then the lucky fisherman told
again the details of the fight, occa-
his chest room to swell, says the Den
yer Post. Even after supper the air
was scaly with fish talk until the old
timer showed his disgust in an out
burst of Jaw. what's the excitement
about, anyway? Why, that fish
couldn't even swallow rat. Say,
how'd you like to catch a fish that
could swallow muskrat? That's the
kind | got once and the muskrat was
as big as cat. 1t was just this way:
One evening | was lying on the bank
of a little lake and was watching a
muskrat fooling around, when all at
once there was dark blur under him,

as fan and the rat went under. Then
there were doings, for the rat didn't
seem to take to the fish as well as the
fish might have liked 1t. The fish
worked over toward shore and must
have got twisted, for he ran right up
a little creek, with his back sticking
half out of water. Then | jumped on
him, threw my arms around him and
yelled for my partner who came run
ming down from camp, and then we
dragged him up on the bank. got a
rope through his gills, tied him to a
tree and finally killed him. The rat
was stuck in his throat, and what do
you think-that rat weighed five
pounds"
We'll, but what did the fish weigh?n
we asked.
"Oh, you see, we couldn't weigh
him, as our scales only weighed TWEEN
ty-five pounds"
Then there was hurry-up call for
the ambulance.

TURKEY YIELDS
To OUR DEMANDS
Naturalized Americans Must be
Shown Every Courtesy by
Turkish Government
Two Men Convicted of Murder Are to
be Given New Trial Just to Please
Representatives Of Uncle Samuel.

Constantinople.-Tu has taken
the first step toward yielding to the
! demands of the American legation by
admitting the right of the American
consular authorities to see the Ar.
menians, Vartarian and Afarian. and
investigate their claims to be entitled
to American protection. Consul Gen
eral Dickinson has visited the pris.
oners and has opened an inquiry.
Vartaran is charged with the muir
der of a prominent Armenian mer-
chant, Apik Undjian, in Constantine
pie August 26. The crime was politi-
cal. Afarian is accused of participa-
tion In the plot to assassinate the sui
tan July 81 when a bomb was ex-
ploded at the conclusion of the Sela-
mix ceremony, just as the sultan was
leaving the mosque. About forty per-
sons were killed by the explosion.
Both Vartarian and Afarian had been
sentenced to death, but owing to the
Intervention OF the American legation
their sentences have been quashed
and new trials ordered.
Washington-The status of this
case is rather interesting. Vartarian
was tried and sentenced to death by
Turkish court. The United States
government claimed that an article
of the treaty with Turkey of 1880 ex-
pressly provided that an American
citizen could be tried in Turkey only
before his own minister or an Amer.
lean consul The Turkish government
claims that the French translation of
this treaty. which was originally
drawn in Turkish, was erroneous and
that the provision was that the man
might be punished and then tried by
the American minister and consul. 1t
holds to this contention, notwith-
standing the fact that in two treaties
subsequently negotiated between
Turkey on the one hand and France
and Belgium on the other. language
was employed embodying exactly the
same principle as the state depart
ments asserts was used in the case
of its own treaty with Turkey.
Now, however, the Turkish govern
ment has suddenly shifted The issue,
and In the present case is claiming
that regardless of the treaty of 1880
and it's meaning, Vartaran, having
been naturalized in America since

ican naturalized citizens are recog-
nized), must be regarded as Turkish

HOW DILLON DID ME u

Let me tell you the story of that
pair of pants tore in 1874, as boy

so positive that they were produced
in a hurry from country-store cloth.

purchased in this country, at that
time. an outfit equal in value to some
of the S5 combination suits for boys,
now sold everywhere, but honey is as

there was five-inch opening in the

The sky grew dark, life became
painful, my countenance disturbed the
dining room group that evening so
much that they voted the cloth no
good and that | was blameless.
Those pants produced such desert
of woe that years of memory on
clothing are blighted all around that
lamentabe date. At that stage of
American history a suit with an extra
pair of pants was as undeveloped as
an international silver dollar.
