OoM PAUL's REPLY.-Poultney Bige-
low attempted on one occasion to inter-
view the late "Oem Paul. Kruger and
met with about the same fate that
many interviewers have had with the
former president Of the Beers. He
found the old man in a very bad hu-
NOR, and could get only monosyllables
in reply to his questions. He employed
every art of the interviewer, but to no
avail. Finally, despairing Of getting
any information Of use to him by
straight questioning, he determined to
be diplomatic and approach Mr.. Kru-
ger from his family side. So he said
very nonchalantly:
rs your wife entertaining this sea-
SOM"
Short and sharp came the gruff an
swer:
Not very"
And the interview closed there.

Speed of a Man of Kearney.

Speeo OF u wan ENOo'"SJ'
Several of them were lined up in
front Of the counter at the California
hotel, discussing foot racers. After
the sprinting qualities of world fam
Gus racers had been defended with
much warmth and everybody engaged
in the discussion had reached the
point where ne insisted on backing
his opinion with a weeks income they
submitted the whole question to Lynn
Austin, who used to be a famous
sprinter in his time.
well, I'll tell you," said Austin
squaring off for the encounter with
a serious look. THE fastest runner
1 ever saw in my life was fellow al
Kearney, Neb. He used to run with
the hose company, and he was certain
ly a prodigy. Did you ever hunt
prairie dogs? Well, prairie dog has
so much speed that after you've
landed a charge Of buckshot In his
vitals he is carried along by his own
momentum and falls into his hole, Tor
which reason no one ever succeeded
in capturing the carcass Of the AMI
NAL after shooting him. This fellow
down at Kearney, Neb., was the only
fellow that ever succeeded In beating
a prairie dog to his hole"
What ever became Of him. said
one of the interested listeners.
well. I'll tell you. He was out
hunting prairie dogs one day He got
a bead on a prairie dog. sent a charge
of buckshot after him and then start
ed for the dog. Just as he was stoop-
ing to grab the dog the charge OF
buckshot caught up with him and the
calves Of his legs were riddled with
shot. 1t crippled him up pretty badly
and he couldn't run after that."-San

Too MANY For HIM.-At the conclu-

made a short address to the assembled
classes. At the end of his remarks he
said:
Now all you boys and girls that
would like to go to Heaven when you
die hold up your hands"
Instantly every child had a hand In
the air except one little fellow sitting
in the far corner, who, In answer to
the superintendent's question, Don't
you want to go to Heaven?" replied:

ALMOST A THEATRE PANIC.
FGantlng Woman Causes Terror at
the Manhattan.

A curiously started and in the end harmless
panic occurred at the matinee of Leah Klesch-
ma " at the Manhattan Theatre yesterday It
cannot be called a fire scare, for there was no
sign or hre, no smell Of smoke. no mention of
the word. Yet scores OF women fed up the
aisles to the rear of the orchestra and first
balcony, and the curtain had to be rung down,
Incidentally, John Mason entertained several
matinee girls in his dressing room.
The theatre was packed full and warm The
fourth act was under way, when suddenly a
woman in the front of the orchestra rose
and moved rapidly. but in silence, up the centre
aisle. Almost on the instant a woman a few
seats from the front started TO swoon. She was
hustled up the aisle by a companion and as
she went she exclaimed: Get me out OF here!
Oh, get me out of here!
Then, by some strange law Of mob psychology,
of panic could be felt to sweep over a
portion of the audience. Women Ieaped to their
feet and began to scramble to get out Both
Mr.. Mack and Mrs. Fiske, who were on the
stage, sprang forward. shouting: "Sit down,
there is nothing the matter! Sit DOWN.
The ushers opened the exits at the same mo-
ment But the people did not sit down, though
nobody got far the street. So Mrs. Fiske
ordered the curtain lowered and the lights in the
house turned on. Then Mr.. Mack again stepped
out, laughing. and told the house TO be seated.
The second gallery had been quite unaffected by
this wave of panic below. They had been hiss
ing those downstairs and in the first balcony
who had disturbed the performance. Now they
applauded.
The audience seeing that nothing was the
matter looked sheepish and sat down. The cur
tain rung up, and the play went on but in
the excitement the players forgot where they
had paused. and repeated at least five min
utes Of the act. Those who had gone up into
the lobby came back TO their seats. Even the
woman who had tainted, causing the trouble,
came back looking much refreshed.
Meanwhile four matinee girls in a box had
bolted through the nearest exit, which led be-
hind the scenes. Once there, they entered the
first door they came TO. and confronted Mr.
Mason, sitting in paJaInas in his dressing room
He does not appear in that act.
We've came here for refuge Of them
stammered.
''Sit right down." said Mr.. Mason, in his most
polished manner. You will lose some Of the
act. but will be the gamer. I'm happy to give
you refuge"
And the girls sat down. and they did miss
some Of the act. How much needn't be stated.
Mrs. F1ske, after the performance, said:
1T q most curious sensation. The
moment that woman went up the aisle
knew, / absolutely knew something was going
to happen: and when the second woman went IL
came with a rush, like wave pouring
across the footlights, that the house was in ter
ror. A woman weak and silly the one
who caused this should be discouraged by her
friends from going to the theatre at ALL wish
] had learned her name, that she could re-
ceve some sort of public reproyal"

NAVY AND ARMY PAY.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Officers of the navy learned through The
Tribune yesterday that the House Naval Commit
tee had reported favoraby upon the bill TO remove
the discrimination between their pay and that Of
officers of corresponding rank in the army. This
was gratifying them, because it gave hope that
both houses Of Congress would at this session take
favorable action the President having expressed
his approval of it. With the expenses that officers
are subject to- in addition to the ordinary expenses
of housekeeping, such as uniforms. besides civilian
clothing entertainment of official guests. etc., the
problem to how to make both ends meet is
ofttimes a perpleXing one.
The inequality of the pay of officer in the
navy as compared with that of officer of the
marine corps. as we'll of officer of the army
is apparent. On graduation from the Naval Acad-
eny some of the midshpmen assigned to the
line and others to the marine CORPS. The former,
of course, receive navy pay while the marine Off
GERS receive the army rates. which have always
been more than those of the navy. Take for in
stance two classmates entering the line and
the other the marine corps, and both ordered to
the same station. The marine officer will have
army pay while the navy officer will receive 10
per less The bill is to correct these inequali-
ties-that is, TO give all officers of the navy the
same pay officers of the army and of the marine
corps of corresponding grades. H. f. r.

NEW-HAVENs PLAN FOR PARK I'M
PROVEMENT.

To the Editor of The Tribune:
Sir: No definite plan has been adopted even
considered for the systematic development of this
citv on the lines of adornment physical recrea-
tion such is now proposed for New-York We
have laid the foundation for park system by
purchasing tracts of land in different parts of the
city which in time will slowly grow into at
tractive and useful addition to the municipal re-
sources but the progress is slow and is likely to
be so for several years to come.
Neither policy nor our laws permit the pur-
chase on speculation by the city Of more lands
than are required for actual public parks.
As to the effect which park improvements have
already produced the value of real estate and
the growth Of population. II is difficult to reply to
this question: but it is fair to presume that
reasonable part OF the citys progress in the last
twenty years in these respects is due to that
cause Certainly the growth OF population Of the
better class in the neighborhood OF the different
parks has been conspicuous, and this has naturally
Increased the demands for and the prices OF land,
not only such neighhorhOods. but In other parts
of the city Some Of our principal parks such as
East Rock Park and West Rock Park are re-
nowned for their beauty. and have doubtless at. at;

this is correct, but under the impression that
tell about the location of this bell before It
was removed to 14th-st If it is the bell
which is TO be permanently located in front of ST.
Georges rectory. would state that the bell hung
in the belfry Of the originah ST. Georges Church
at the corner of Beekman and Cliff SITS. and hung
there until tho church torn down
When st. Georges Church was removed to 10TH
St and Stuyvesant Square in, say. 1850 the church

was used for a number of years a chapel OF
