ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Theatee.

David Belasco's use and mastery of the science of lighting effects on a
 stage is probably more clearly shown in The Girl of the Golden West" !"
 which comes to the Hyperion Tuesday
 (Chrlstmas) matinee and night, than in any other production credited to this producer. The fourth act shows a prairie at sunrise with ''the girl'' and the reformed road agent bound east ward, there to work out their destinies away from old faces and old associa- tions. When the curtain rises the time is few moments before dawn. The stage is one black, unfathomable mass, the only light being the flaming end of 8 cigar in IRemerrez's mouth.
 Slowly the darkness becomes fainter and fainter, and then gradually, but in bust of glory that never fails to evoke an outburst of Applause from
 the expectant audience, the sun rises over the tops of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distaIee, and it's beams creeping onward, illuminate the prairie foot by foot, until the little
 camp of the travellers rests in the full light of the dawn The effect cannot
 be adequately described in type It l must be seen to be appreciated.

300 MILLION OF CHINESE.
Yellow Empire Has About oneffth of
 CIohe's Foundation

Yellow Empire Has About one-ffth of
 Globes Population.
 The interesting question of the population of the Chinese Empire has often been discussed, but it is still impossible to say with any degree of certainty what the figures are.
 At the beginning of the Christian era it is tolerably certain that there were at least sOb0O,OOO inhabitants, and 1t must be remembered that the empire then was much smaller than 1t is at the present time.
 Most of the censuses taken in China during the last 2,OOO years, says the North China Daily News, have not professed to take in the whole popula- ton. Young children and old men, for instance, were sometimes omitted. the main object of the census being to ascertain the number of taxable per- sons.
 By common consent the most reli- able census ever taken in China was that of 1872. This gives the figures as more than 362, 900, o0O In 1868 the popu- lation was estimated at nearly 40S,- 900, ,OOO but in 1881 it had fallen to 3SO,OOO, 900, the great T'aip'ing Rebell- ion, in which so many millions of peo- pie lost their lives, being one of the principal causes undoubtedly for this great decline.
 Travellers, missionaries and others. who, have visited the region devastat- ed at the time of the Taiping Rebel- lion, express the opinion that the loss of life during that great convulslon has generally been estimated at too low a figure. and 1t is question al- so whether the terrible famine more than a score of years ago in the pro- vinces of Chili, Shansi, Shens and Honan, with a population of 7O,0OO. .0oO, is not responsible for the loss of more lives than it Is usually credited with.
 It is still more certain that the Mo- hammedan uprising in the northwest destroyed more lives than it is gem erally supposed to have done. A very moderate computation of the loss of life incurred in these three .calamities makes it to be fully 60,000, OO0 And in this connection 1t would be well. per- haps to remind ourselves that the ha- bitual use of opium by such a large number of the people has tended to act injuriously on the recouperativs power of the nation,

New Hnven TheateR.

'IAttle Johnny Jones'" Geo. M. Cohan's phenomenal musical comedy, or, as several dramatic reviewers have cautioned it, musical melodrama, " which has been such a tremendous hit wherever presented for the past year and a half, will come to the New Ha- ven theater Saturday next, for a spec iai matinee and night performance, and It's popularity is just as great as ever. Practically the entire original cast will interpret Little Johnny Jonen" here.
 The Boston Globe says: The bright, crisp musical play which George M Cohan wrote and produced couple of years ago with great success, improv- ed and brough up t3 date, yet lacking none of the original popular features, is the attraction at the Boston theater this week Little Johnny Jones' has many merts, and not the least of them is its originality The music is, after all, the great charm of the piece and there are many of the songs that have become familiar through their ryth- mattc catchiness.
 Take, for instance, Yankee Doodle Boy One would have thought last night that the song had never been heard before, judging by the number of erc3res it had received. Then there are They're All My Friends, Girls of the U. s. A." "'Op in My 'Ansom, D "A Girl l Know" Give My Regards to Broadway" and "Life's a Very ! Funny Proposition, After AL" each i and everyone of which Is a gem in its way, and each of Witch made a hit last night.
 The company is ah excellent one, and includes a large humber of those who appeared in the original produc- tiaa.
 1 Prominent among these is Tom Lew | is, as "The Unknown" Tn the char acter of the unctious detective. always on the spot, he is funnfer than ever and got a great reception.
 1 The little jockey Johnny Jones, is portrayed by Bobby Barry, and it is not reflecting on George Cohan's abili- ty as a comedian to say that his sue cessor is as clever in his way as the actor-nuthor Frank Montgomery as Sing Song, editor of the Pekin Gazette was an excellent Chinaman and Jack Rafael as Anthony Anstye, the Amer 1 ican gambler-vilain, was as villain ous and snoth as could be imagined Sam J. Ryan still has his original part as Timothy D. McGee, politician and horse owner, and Messrs. .Meehan, Harrington, Seymour, Penfold, Pear son, Sheehan and Kittredge are excel lent in their respective parts.

At last got treat ment of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and in two months time my hands were all healed and have never troubled me since.

The NicnInt.

MT. Nicolet, who dropped into the isanctum to tell of the new wonders to be seen in the five cent continuous performance of Moving pictures at the Nicolet, remarked that the bargain sale class of amlUsements was originat- ed by circus graduates, as he had pre- EViously stated, and one of them. George K. Goodwin, was bargain counter originator in the sale of nick knacks, and all sorts of goods orna- mental and useful, at cut price. Goodwin" said the relator, twas a panorama boomer and made lots of money out of Dr. Kanes Arctic explo- rations Illustrated on canvas. Then he took up Artemas Ward and Josh Billings, the humorlsts, and directed their lecture tours, afterwards beeom- ing a circus manager. After the civil war dollar as purchasing medium did not go far and the snowman con ceived the idea of a dollar store. every article a bargain and pretty girls to sell the goods. Goodwin bought in enormous quantities and he and his NNf't'SNAebbNS NAb tb pllhltlUlb DulEIieSS III all the large cities Since those days bargain tables are found in all the de- partment stores and it is often re- marked the great variety of articles that can be purchased for a nickel. The Nicolet moving picture show is a new illustration of the Goodwin idea oarried into amusements with the Identical plan of quick sales and small profits" If the Nicolet had but one or two performances a day the price of admission would be much higher, Even at that, with the many repettions of the program daily the Nioclet Amusement company would scarce find the conducting of a single theatorium profitable but in control ing twentY-one similar entertainments they find their remuneration. In con- olusion, before passing out Mir. Nicolet called attention to the new moving pictures to be seen to-day, Phoebe Snow" 'Damnation of Faust" Lost Leg of Mutton and "The Suburban isa,"

 A hearing was held before Director sof Public Works James B.

 The order for the extension of the street @was passed by the board of aldermen 8about two months ago and the bill lssent to Mayor Studley for signature.
 Just before the ten-day limit allowed
 the mayor to sign it had expired a #petition was handed him from Eighth lward residents asking him to veto it
 that a re-hearing might be held on 1t aby the aldermen. On the very morning sof this petition to the mayor Yale col slege sold the land to the company and therefore the Eighth warders lost and

HOW A TEXAN KILLED A BEAR

Range Rider Shut Off Its Wind With
 Lasso, Then Used His Knife.
 Jim Gordon, a range rider for w. w. Wilkins, whose big ranch is over near Howard Wells, in western Texas
 was much surprised the other morning to see a large black bear numbering along ahead of him. It was in a rough locality and the bear was evidently out to get its morning meal of sotol roots.
 Gordon stuck his rails into his horse and took after the bear. The chase
 did not last long. Gordon unloosened his rope, which was coiled over the
 pommel of his saddle, and when he got within throwing distance of the
 fleeing bear he deftly. circled the
 moose over the animals head. The COW pony sat back upon it's launches
 and drew the rope taut. The bear
 got one of it's paws underneath the
 moose and prevented the frope from
 choking 1t. Then began struggle that lasted for more than an hour. Ordinarily a horse IS desperately
 afraid of bear, but. the COW pony , which Gordon was riding stood the or deal fearlessly. It maintained it's posi- i ton while Gordon dismounted with a
 view of attacking the bear at close quarters with his knife He had no other weapon. The bear put up a hard fight the moment it saw Gordon on the ground, It rushed at him and struck him terrific blow on the shoulder which sent him sprawling several feet away and out of reach of the maddened animal which was con- fined to prescribed circle by the rope.
 Strange to say, the bear made no attack upon the horse. It seemed to
 consider Gordon responsible for the whole trouble. Gordon determined to kill the animal before he left the spot. He made several intellectual efforts
 to dash in on the bear and give it a
 blow with his knife but each time he
 was struck by the animals paw. Fin ally he got hold of the rope and by
 sudden pull managed to tighten the moose so that the bears wind was tenn
 porily shut off.
 i Taking advantage of the moment ] Gordon rushed in and cut the juglar
 vein of the animal with his knife. He
 loaded the bear upon his horse and brought 1t to the ranch house. Fron ! the Kansas City Star.

MANS AND woMANs CURIOSITY

As to a woman's curiosity, 1t may be said at the outset that she is not so curious, by an infinite measure, is is man himself, Women; 1t is true, are consistently and asstduously curious; but men also are not only persistently and assiduously but patiently and systemat tically curious It is the character of female curiosity that makes it apparently contemptible. Scientific men of every kind have no raison d'etre for their infinitely pa tient research save pure curiosity alone; and their curiosity has no more purpose in it than has the curiosity of the woman who cannot rest until she finds out all discoverable facts about her neighbors, or the cause of my sterious sound by night.
 These two forms of curiosity, the male and the female, originated no doubt in the early needs of the race long before men appeared on the earth, The male animal is interested in the causes of remote things-things which, upon being run down, might turn out useful for food purposes. The female Is interested in the quick investiga- ton of near and small things which may turn out a menace to the lives of her young. The female watches with intense and lively interest the vicin- ity of the nest or lair; the male is prompted to look abroad-away from the lair, in or toward fields where his daily prey is found. These two kinds of curiosity were among the most pc tent instruments in the struggle for racial existence and in the ultimate development of man.-From the Ma tional Magazine
