ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion TheAter.


 Skeptics have been exceedingly busy for the past ten days discussing the methods of the Pays, whose wonderful demonstrations have set the town agog. All sorts of theories have been advanced regarding the Fays, but still they continue to excite wonder over their marvellous exhibitions and the public clamors for more. After a rec |ord-breaking week at the New Haven theater the Fays opened a three-per- formance engagement at the Hyperion last night and standing room was at a premium. The audience was by far the largest of the season. Fake or le- gitimate, deception, trickery, fraud, or any other term which may be used, Mrs. Fay did some wonderfully clever work, and if she was assisted by con federates, by a telephonic communica- tion, it would be refreshing to have some of the master minds, who have, they think, discovered the secret of Mrs. Fay's success, explain in detail the methods used. No papers were passed out by MT. Fay or his assistants, and questions which had been written on the backs of envelopes, prescription blanks, business cards, programmes and other papers were answered for people in all parts of the house, and if their word is to be accepted as true the ques- tions were correctly repeated and an- swered. Some knew what answers they should receive, but many others were mystified and dumfounded at the suc- cessful replies. .-.s., ...s s sS
 It had been published that a party of Yale students had arranged to break up the performance. If such were the case, the students remained very quiet and made no demonstrations. Several had their questions answered, and cor reetly. ,,.s --..s. s..z-

RATE LEGISLATION DELAY
CHAIRMAN ELKINS MAKES
 STATEMENT IN SENATE.

He Confesses That There is No Chance
 of Action on the House Bill at This
 session--More Time for All Con-
 cerned to Prepare Their Statements.
 Washington, Feb 2t.--All attempt at railroad legislation at the present session has been abandoned. Senator Elkins made a statement on the floor this morning which makes that clear. Senator Cullom, who has been the lead CT in efforts for rate legislation, ac- quiesces in this plan, as does the pres ident.
 Sentiment in the senate committee at its executive session this morning seemed very favorable to recess in vestigation, preferably by the commit tee or a sub-c committee from it, with out taking in the house, which has al ready acted, and so. technically at least, giving evidence that it has pass ed the stage of needing to investigate.
 The president thinks that the rail roads and all other parties in interest should be given the fullest chance to be heard, and so he favors the delay. He is likely, however, in his speeches after adjournment, to emphasize the importance of this issue, and to an- nounce his purpose to push for results. The interstate commerce committee of the senate will probably give a few more hearings. Stuyvesant Fish, pres ident of the Illinois Central, will prob ably appear on Thursday.

VACATION SEASON.

The world Of restless people is busy
making plans for another vacation.
Some are worn out, resting, loafng,
lounging in one place and are anxious
for another in which TO engage in the
same proiitless pasttime. Others
would feel certain sense of shame if
they did not go to seaside or noun
tain resort for the season. Still
Others labor under the delusion that
to be decent All American must spend
much of his time and more Of his
money in Europe. There are ID. DIS
who must have three months of tray
ell out Of each twelve months work.
I'm striking contrast to all these is the
case of the hard worked business man,
who discussing this subject the other
day said: "All the vacation want
during the year is TO go to church
twice every Sunday, prayer meeting
In the middleOfthe week and TO spend
a few days in the fields with my dog
when the bird season opens" In
that mans life there will be more of
health and Of happiness than i'm the
of those Of the painting thou
sands who roam the wide world over
In search Of something new.

GOLD FROM SEA WATER

The money question never sleeps.
The world has barely recovered from
the shocking crime Of demOnetizing
silver, and now the decentralization of
gold is threatened. An English syn
dictate, owning secret process for ex-
tracing gold from sea water, has been
quietly picking up sites for factories
ana pumping stations along the Eng
llsh and Irish coasts, and is soon 10
begin operations. The process is said
TO have received the sanction of Sir
William Ramsay. IL is described as
bearing certain resemblance 10 fine
treatment adopted in the mines of the
NitwaterSrand. Washington Post.
1t is further said that there is a grain
of gold in each ton Of sea water. and
this being so what will become of our
friends the Gold Bug? ~ And If
gold is to be even freer than silver
what will be Mr.. Bryan's hobby ?
Gold has never been a friend Of ours.
and this isn't strange, as we have had
SO little to do with the gentleman that
friendly relations could not have re-
suited.
In this connection We take the H. |
berry Of saying that which we have so
often said, and that is that all money |
is "fat' money. When gold becomes |

GENERAL FITzHUGH LEE is DEAD.

Afer life Of intense activities Gen,
Fizhugh Lee died peacefully in the
city of Washington on last Friday
evening, the 18th OF April and his
body now rests in the bosom of Nir-
ginia, his own Virginia, the mother
he so loved and honored, and who so
delighted TO honor him.
Gen. Lee was returning from BOs-
ton, where he had been in the inter
est Of the jamestown Exposition, and
was stricken with appopleXy on the
train between New York and Phila-
delphia, and on reaching Washington
was removed at once to the hospital
where second stroke was quickly
followed by death.
On the forefront Of battle, in the
forum, on the foreign field and in civic
places of highest honor and most del
icate trust, he did his duty and his
immortal uncle has emphasized the
fact that i'm so doing he has done the
modest thing man is capable Of do
ing. The end found him, as another
has SO well said, Sin the saddle
not at the head of charging columns,
nor with cleaning sabre drawn, nor
yet amid the Hastings Of the guns,
but just as truly giving Of his love, his
loyalty, his very life TO Virginia.
Another commander has "crOSsed
over the river" and our humble hope
is that he "rests under the trees' with
those who had gone before.
