MISS JULIA DOREMUS.

These cover a period of five days and
include, besides the coronation, the
queens court ball, the masque fete, the
baby parade and the Deal Lake carnt-
val Elsewhere a carnival usually
means wine and dress and display oil
dollars. At Asbury Park it signalizes
the apotheosis of maternity, the awak-
ening of the noblest impulses and the
worship of innocence. The baby pa
rade is one of the most popular events
and last year about 500 mothers dark
ings passed in review before the queen,
and the procession was witnessed by
about $4,000 people. At the Deal Lake
carnival Queen Titania will review the
decorated floats and barges, enthroned
on a royal barge, adorned with Law
ishness like that in vogue when Cleo
partra sailed the sunny seas of the old
world and aroused admiration for her
wonderful beauty.

"Dora Thorne," at the Gennett.

Bertha NJ. Clay's novel, Dora
Thorne," has been dramatized and
the Rowland and Clifford Company
will present it here. The trace of
the hand OF genuine artist is seen
back of Dora Thorne." Its distance
it's splendid perspective, its rare col
ors, the careful working of the details
of its various pictures give at first
hand an artistic atmosphere to its
production, which before has been
often attempted, but rarely accom-
plished In none of these scenes is
there a basis of gariShneSS, strong
lights are never employed, forward
the stage is kept particularly free
from setting, and the effective cOlors,
admirably chosen and perfectly blend
ed, are the background tones. The
artist who designed these pictures is
not a stranger to the art galleries, for
technique of the painter is herein
imitatively employed to splendid adj
vantage. The position of the play
ers, the way in which Miss Sadie
Marion plays DoraThorne works into
the pictures with unusual fidelity of
artistic standard. This beautiful
and superior production of Bertha NJ.
Clays famous novel dramatized, will
appear at the Gennett on next Friday
night

AN EXCITING IRlP.
The Varied PeriIs of Navigation on
the Yukon River.

thc uaAoh AaaNOA'
Getting on a sand bar is part of the
Yukon programme, and we reached
this act early in the afternoon of the
first day. The river is constantly
changing, and q new channel is made
each year. All steamers carry huge
poles, known as shears. or sometimes
called ships legs When a sand bar
is struck the pole is dropped off the
side and stands upright in the sand
A pulley is attached at the top, the
engine is started and the boat lifted
and swung forward six or eight feet.
This process is repeated until the YES
sci is clear of the bar. During the
jumping off process the passengers are
sent aft in order to lift the bow. When
somebody stupidity asked the captain
how long we We're going to stay at
this point he answered, Anywhere
from an hour to a week" We We're
lucky in being fast for only two hours.
The Selkirk, which followed day
later, spent the entire night on the
same obstruction. Soundings were TAX
en- with n gaudily painted pole, which
suggested a Fourth of July pole vaultins
exhibition. The man who did the meas.
uring had a singsong way of speaking,
and he constantly drawled, 1.-TWO feet
two and o half-three feet-no bot
tom-four feet" until we were in deep
water.
Late in the afternoon we reached
Lake La Barge. Here the ice was from
ten to eighteen inches thick and spread
~ cold
of snow We pushed on, while the
sharp ice pounded savagely against the
hull, which was built of inch aud half
planks 1t scraped and cut the sides
Of the boat and buckled and formed
little ice mountains over the lake. We
ran slower and slower until, after cut
ting through five miles, the captain de-
cided that we could go no farther in
safety. so the Casca tied up at an I'M
inhabited island to wait until. the sun
and wind should cause the ice to break.
The MOSQUITOES welcomed us and came
aboard by the thousand. Some of the
passengers rushed ashore and built
huge fire out of old logs in order to
protect themselves from the pests; 9th
ers climbed to the top of a hill and sat
in Il row like so many Owls. All uaF
Sunday we waited The crew carried
logs aboard and built an ice pillow for
the boat. After twentyfour hours de-
lay we cast off and went into the ice.
The river is tortuous and muddy. and
in many places the current runs nine
miles an hour. Narrow gorges are en-
tered. and at Five Finger rapids we
were treated to the sensation of run
ming the rapids between rocks scarcely
twice the width OF our boat apart This
place is considered extremely danger
Gus. and boats coming up the river, in
order to avoid being dashed against
the rocks, pick up a cable fastened on
shore for that purpose and by winding
it around the capstan pull themselves
up the rapids.-Mrs. c. r. Miller in
Leslie's Weekly.

A Clever Old Man.

An old German father had nearly
lost his daughter by drowning, but the
girl was saved by a noble youth, who
was asked by the grateful father
whether his reward should be 100. 600
marks or the daughters hand. With
shrewd foresight that both girl and
money would eventually come to him,
the youth, with apparent scorn OF
wealth, replied:
Il choose your daughter"
"a wise CHOICE said the old father.
II could not have given you the 100000
marks. for 1 an only q poor cobbler.
but you shall have the girl, and that
gladly. Join hands, dear children, and
