WAS GLAD HE SMOK ED.

A man from Hackensack lost hiscofn- mutation ticket and all his available cash on the platform of a Third ave- nue car one night last week. He was stumped for the moment, for it was nearly midnight and he could think of no acquaintance to whom he could ap- ply at that hour for the loan of car fare back to Jersey.
 An inspiration struck him, He had a thick package of tobacco coupons In his overcoat pocket which he had promised his better half ito redeem for a jardinier The rest was easy.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion TLentef.

Clayton Hamilton, one of the adapt CTS of The Love That Blinds" the three-act comedy that Mary Shaw, the eminent American actress is starring in thls season under the direction of the Messrs. Shubert, which comes to the Hyperion tonight, is a member of the faculty of Columbia college, New York city. Mr. Hamilton has been a ire quent contributor to magazines and has for some time been considered an au-
 thority on things dramatic MT. Ham llton was the translator and adapter for the American stage of Jacob Cor aims drama, "The Kreutzer Sonata" the powerful play that Blanch Walsh produced in Chicago last season, and
 which is the vehicle selected for her to open her engagement at the new Astor Theater, New York city. Built on new and original lines, The Love That Blinds" is play filled with absorbing interest, dealing with subject matter that concerns a mother who discovers
 that her son is guilty of crime which another man is paying the for. Being a woman of high moral courage, she is
 hesieged by conflicting emotions By
 right she should make proper restitu- ton and give up her son to the author ities. Still as a mother, the inherent
 instinct of a mother to protect her off spring, prompts her to shield him. Ehe endeavors to seek balm for her trou- bled conscience by charitable acts and by taking the daughter of the man QnnocenO into her own home and treating her as her own daughter. Here the girl becomes the atfianced of the stepbrother of the erring brother. This starts everything on a different tack. The working out of this intricate psy- chological problem is what makes the play so interesting. A powerful cast, has been selected to assist Miss Shaw.
 Among the prominent members of the company are Henry Hewett, Katherine
 Grey Fred Tyler George s. Titheredge
 and Eileen Anglin. Staged under the
 personal supervision of MT Henry Mil
 Ter, the performance should be charac-
 terized by the snloothness and atten-
 ton to detail that Is so peculiar to Mir. Millers productions,

Experiences of a Couple Who Spe
 Their Honeymoon in Guatemala
 The Sunday bull fight held in a ls;. Place de Toro Qbull ring) outside thl town, was the principal amusement cannot say much for this sort of enter. tainment. The so-called bulls were worn out cows, who deserved a better fate than to be goaded into some sort of fury by the flashing picadors, who struck picadilloes into them. In most cases they had dropped, refusing to move and the audience became furious.
 At the end the toreador Especially imported for the day) came forward to the Presidential box, where we were sitting, writes woman correspondent of the Boudoir in describing a honey moon in Guatemala, and after fforid speech, of which understood little, he handed me, with profuse bow execu- ted in true grandee fashion, hand on heart, the begored and flower encircled pecadilloes as a nemento of the august occasion To refuse to accept them would have been the greatest insult, and my husband was obliged to carry them home for me, much to his dis gust.
 Some Spanish ladies asked me after ward how I felt when the great mata- dor singled me out for this high honor. When I told them that I was rather annoyed by his drawing the attention of the crowd to me i'm this the trical fashion they were furious at my un- gratefulness, and told me Ut would have had proposals galore.
 In the course of a .scranbling' expedi- tion into the country over rough poun- tain roads we were obliged to camp out on hard boulders, with only a mackin- tosh to keep out the cold. During the night I was frightened almost out of my wits. I felt hand tugging my hair, and calling out to my husband, We saw a big monkey leaning down from the branches of a tree above us, pulling away at my hair. His horrible claws had gripped such a lot that, when he finally let go, after being belabored with the stock of a revolver, he had nearly half of it in his hand.

WEALTH IN GOLD NEAR HUDSON BAY
Riches Rivaing Those in the Yukon
Are Thought to Have Been
Discovered.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 1.-THE re-
gion in the vicinity of Hudson Bay
seems destined to become more famous
for it's mineral wealth than either the
Yukon or the New Eldorado of the
Cobalt 1t is believed that the min
eral resources awaiting the prospector
in that region may supass anything
the dominion has yet produced.
A. ]. Javobs. Montreal mining au-
thority reports the arrival of a pros
pectOr from the Hudson Bay district
who exhibited a bag full of gold mug
gets, some of which Mr.. Jacobs stated,
were half-pOunders and Founders,
while none was under an ounce in
weight. This man has come to record
his claim. and also reports finding
large deposits of hard coal and cop

The government has not been slow
to appreciate the possibilities of the
Hudson Bay district, and with the
view of aScertainng the value of the
mineralized area, two Of the most eff
ficient members of the geological sur
vey of Canada, Messrs. McInnes and

.ALL|S READY At JAMESTOWN
Many Visitors Are SWarming Into
The Virginia Town.
TO attend The EXPOSITION OPENING
MANY POINTS OF HISTORICAL
INTEREST ARE BEING VIEWED
BY ExcURsIONISTs.
TO ATTEND THE EXPOSITION OPENING

JAMESTOWN, Va, May 12.-Sev-
eral thousand visitors, who came
here with the excursion of the Associa-
ton for the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities, to visit the interesting his
torical relics with which Jamestown
and surroundings abound and to in
spect the site of the coming exposition,
swarmed through the town all fore
noon and visited everything of his
tOrical interest. Popular interest was
shown in the ruins of the old Smith
field church, on the site of which the
building of the national society is to
be erected.
Before the building will be begun
it will be necessary to take down the
present shed and box over the founda-
lions, chancel and tombs. Arrange
ments have been made to begin the
work in a few days. Mr.. Edmund M.
Wheelwright, of Boston, the eminent
architect who is to complete the plans
for this building, recently visited
jamestown, and he is very enthusiastic
about the work and thoroughly in
sympathy with the ideas of the Asso-
citation for the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities. The tower is. of course,
not to be touched. The walls are to
be built with especially made bricks
of a size to correspond with the bricks
in the tower, which are somewhat
thinner than the modern bricks. These
will be interspersed with ancient glaz-
ed bricks taken from the old wrecks
;1I, -
purpose. The new building will prob
ably be, to great extent, a copy of the
Smithfield church.
The interior of the present founda-
tons, with the remains of the church
in which the first legislature assem-
bled, the old chancel and the tOmbs,
will be preserved intact. A flooring
of granolithic or some other such sub
stance, will cover most of the space
within the foundations, and a railing
running around the inside will pro-
tect the ruins.
At the last session of congress $780,
900 was appropriated for a monu-
ment at jamestown, provided a site
was donated. The Association for the
Preservation of Virginia Antiquities
has OllCICu IOI lIIdt IpOSO SltC az
the eastern end of it's grounds, on
high, level point. If this offer is ac-
cepted, the fence of the A. P. " A.
can be moved a little westward and
the grounds preserved intact, as at
present. The proposed monument will
be of an artistic and impressive char
acter 1t will be a reduced copy Of
the Washington monument in Wash
ington, and will be about one hundred
feet in height.

HIGH LICENSE KILLS THE DIVES
Charge of $1,000 for Saloon Permits
Proves Two-foId Benefit to
Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 12.-Nearly one
thousand saloons will cease operations,
and the city's revenue will be
swelled from $3,75O,O00 to at least 81
100000, as a result of the $1,000 license
law.
Police officers detailed to license
duty reported today to- Mr.. Traegar
that 1,345 saloon keepers gave up their
license April 80. Applications for new
licenses, many of them in the buildings
occupied by these saloon keepers, will
cut down the 1854 figure to $50, in the
opinion of Deputy Collector McCarty.
The new law is apparently going to
revolutionize conditions in several
parts of Chicago, notably the districts
back of the stockyards," and in the
Ghetto. Many licenses were given up
by dives in both districts, which are
not to be renewed, it is believed, on
account of the raise in the license
cost.
Down town saloons to the number of
thirty eight are reported without
licenses. Practically all of these will
be licensed under new names and own
ership.

F, B. Behr viii Establish System
in New York City.
CLAIMS RAPID Transit IS 4 FEATuPE
ASSERTS PASSENGERS CAN BE
HAuLEp AT RATE OF 100
MILES AN HOUR.

NEW YORK, May IF. B. Behr.
the inventor of a mono-rail system OF
rapid transit, is now in this city agi-
tating in favor of his plan Of estab-
fishing his system IN Greater New
York, with a view Of solving the
transportation problem which Is caus-
ing so much trouble to the authorities
and the citizens. According to the
inventor it would be possible with his
system, to haul passenger cars at an
average speed Of one hundred miles
an hour and thus reduce by fully one
half the fastest time made by express
trains at the present time. Mr.. Behr
has mapped out comprehensive sys-
tenn of rapid transit for New York,
which would bring all five boroughs
and the uttermost parts of those bOr-
oughs into close communication. He
says he has the capital ready to be-
gin the construction of the system,
provided he can get the required fran
chises from the authorities.
According to his plans the line
would extend from Totenville through
the whole length of Staten island to
the Narrows, under the Narrows by
tubes to Fort Hamilton, thence thu ougn
Brooklyn to the East river near the
city hall, under East river by tube to
Manhattan island, up Manhattan ISL
and by subway and elevated to The
Bronx and Kingsbridge. According to
the inventors plan every point in any
of the boroughs would thus be brought
within fifteen minutes of Wall street.
OF course, there would be lateral lines
and branches, the whole system max
ing about fOrty-five miles of four
track road.
One of the branches would run to
Coney island, and for this road Mr.
Behr now has an application pending
for a franchise from the junction of
Atlantic and Flatbush avenues, Brook
Ign, out Fourth avenue and other
streets to Coney island. At a recent
hearing before the railroad committee
of the board of aldermen Mr. Behr Of
fered to give the city the free use of
his patents if the municipality would
build the Coney IslanL line.
The Behr mono rail-" which I,ls
been endorsed by engineers of this
country and Europe, attains very
high speed by the use of electricity
for power, applied to a motor car run
ming on a single rail- The rail is laid
upon the apex Of an A-shaped struc-
ture, either on the surface, under
ground or as an elevated line, and the
car straddles it as rider does a horse.
Both sides of the car hang far below
the rail, thus lowering the center of
gravity, so that it is impossible for the
car to turn over or leave the rail.
In practical operation on a trial
track three miles long at the Brussels
exposition the Behr cars maintained
an average speed of ninety miles an
hour over a course of curves and
straight track. and the commission
named by the British parliament
which gave Mr.. Behr a franchise to
build one of his raods from Liverpool
to Manchester, reported that an aver
age speed of 100 miles an hour could
be made with perfect safety. The
Liverpool Manchester line is now I'M
der construction.
