came down the steps with sort Of sliding

Il lodged the thing and grabbed an
umbrella from a corner of the hall. let out

ferred stock and the balance in common,
and a first mortgage bond issue Of $500 900.

From Cape Town II is reported that there
have been serious differences between the
German Consul there and tho Cape Colony
Government over the way in which the
British authorities have exercised their
obligations of neutrality in connection
with the native risings in German South
west Africa According to the German
Consul tho insurgents were freely supplied
with arms and ammunition from the British
colony and were even joined by sympa-
thizers from across the border To this
the Cape Government replied. denying the
facts stated and declaring that they had
only given asylum to refugees after dis
arming them, in conformity with inter
national law and the rights of humanity.
1t is reported that in consequence OF
what he regarded as an evasion OF his rep
resentations the German Consul threatened
to close his Office and leave the colony, to
which the British authorities are said 10
have replied that no was free to return to
Berlin if he liked, but that no change would
be made in the dispositions taken in the
matter At the last advices things were in
stutu quo, but there was considerable irrita-
ton over the incident.

JEFFRIEs on the question.
Resolr,d. That mans mental usefulness
ceases In his for,ieth year
Prof JEpFRIEs, whose eminent talents
are too we'll known TO need recapitulation
holds that mans physical condition de-
teriorates after he has passed the fortieth
year. but that his real mental development
only begins with that age. He says:
OsLER IS half right. A man don't e., any bet
ter physically after he's 40. He goes back then,
but man don't really get Intelligent until he is
past 90. He gets experience after that Physi'
cally. OsLRR is right. mentally, he is wrong
Prof. JEFFRIES might call upon Prof.
ROBERT FITlsIMMoNs TO aid him in prepar
ing his argument. Prof. FITzsIAMoNs
has passed the age when a man begins to
get really intelligent.

CHINESE SPLENDOR
IN AUCTION HOUSE

The actors stranded, the house closed
up and the theatrical effects in the
hands of creditors, is the brief state
ment of the wind-up of the Chinese
Liliha street theatrical venture. 1t is
seldom, however, that a theatrical
company has assets of the kind which
Morgan the auctioneer, will sell at
public auction this morning at 10
o'clock.
Morgan's auction rooms look like the
interior of a joss house. The walls are
covered with portieres, heavy with
spangles and gold embroidery and vivid
with vermilion, red and green coloring.
There are dozens of these handsome
portieres and panels, excellent for wall
adornments. There are all manner of
gorgeous costumes, covered with gilt
and spangles; odd-looking headdresses:
stage swords; hideous masks, gods and
goddesses; suits of armor and strange
devices which the Chinese use in stage
settings.
It is a wondrous assortment rich in
silks and velvets and dazzling with
color Auctioneer Steven was busy all
day yesterday studying up on Chinese
words and will try them on the crowd
this morning.
