Break Of Dawn on the Stage.

In the short last act of THE Girl of
the Golden West" at the Belasco
Theater, in New York, scene of seri-
GUS and touching sentiment is enact
ed by Blanche Bates as The Girl and
Robert. billiard as the Road Agent
Perhaps the most wonderful feature,
however, is the beautiful effect of
dawn, which Mr.. BelascO's artistic
genius has evolved, and which de-
velops so naturally and slowly as to
consume at least three minutes from
the first simmer of approaching day
light to sunrise. Although the act it.
self lasts only six minutes, it is so
intense and poetic as to hold the au
dience spellbound, with Il considerable
portion of it in tears.
4 few nights ago, however. for the
first time during the remarkably long
run of Mr.. Belasco's California play,
this act got laugh. OF the stage. in

less stagehand upset a boXful of brok-
Ell glass, known in stage parlance as
glass crash" Had Mr. Belasco
written this effect into the play, to-
gether with Mr.. billiards appropriate
line as he actually spoke a second
later, the manuscript would have read
something like this:
Glass crash heard off the stage,
PauseO
Mr. Hilliard-The dawn is break
ing
This was enough for the audience.
No day had ever been known to break
SO loud that one could hear it There
was a pause, then a great roar of
laughter. The glass crash, the frac-
tured dawn, and Mr.. Belasco's poetic
picture all went down to good natured
disaster together.

Gambling on Ocean Liners.

Stories of gambling and the fleeing
OF nnocents multiply as the tide of
midsummer ocean travel reaches it's
height. Steamship companies have
posted notices on the ships warning
passengers to beware of the card
sharps. The best place in the world
for the crooked gambler to ply his
vocation is in the smoking room or the
state rooms of transatlantic liner.
Every one going first class has money.
Every one has time to spare. No COM
plicated formula of introductions is
required. People make acquaintances
readily, knowing that they need not
keep them up ashore, and with Ameri-
can recklessness they put an acquaint-
ance on friends footing. In addition
to that they play cards and amuse
their leisure with bets. There is some
thing in travelling by water that stimu-
lates the gambling instinct, partly. per-
haps, because in the early days it was
a gamble whether the mariner who
embarked on his vessel would ever see
land again. There has never been
such an orgy of inland gambling as in
the old days Of the Mississippi river
packers. The Inauguration of the
luxurious European travel has simply
shifted the venue of the light fingered
gentry to the mid-Atlantic. People
bet on anything and everything aboard
steamer-on the days run, on the
number of whales sighted. on immun-
ity from seasickness. on the dinner
dessert. one the number of seeds in
the orange that is part of the dessert

Sometimes, doubtless. the sharper JUS
titles his practice on the ground that

deserves to be punished. There will
be gambling and cheating on the ocean
ferry so long as every prospect pleases
and some men are vile.

4. Last View of DeDew.

Shortly before ne disappeared from
public view Senator Depew was seen
driving in victoria on one of the
quiet roads back of Ossining. Coach
man and footman We're of the pre-
vailing type-of immaculate breeches,
shining boots, glittering buttons; and
the harness mountings were not more
dazzling than the splendid panels of
the equipage; but the figure huddled
in the corner of the seat behind the
impressive dignity of the men on the
box was somber contrast to all the
pomp of the display. The familiar
long Roman beak was crooked in
sort of pinched way; this same en-
preston was stamped on the once
humorously, curving lips; the sunken,
lack-luster eyes We're staring; the
cheeks hallowed in shrivels; the form,
shrunken and dropping, seemed to fall
away from the glance OF the world.
No expert knowledge of pathology was
needed to assure the most casual OBJ
server that Senator Depew would
never return to his seat in the senate.

Americans on the Search.

Americans are at the present mo-
ment. engaged in pursuing the search
for the other missing crown of Eng
land. which was constructed for the
coronation Of King Charles ii, and
which the notorious Colonel Blood en-
deavored to steal during the reign of
the "Merrie Monarch" but which was
eventually carried off by his brother,
James ii. of France, along with other
treasure. when deprived of his throne
and compelled to seek refuge at st.
German.
The much Wanted hospitality of
Louis XIV. of France to his exiled
brother sovereign was not of such an
altogether chivalrous and generous
character as has been asserted. James
was more of prisoner of state than
an honored and welcome guest, and is
shown by letters and memoirs of that
epoch, published in recent years, not
only to have cruelty resented the re-
strictions and the lack of liberty to
which he was subjected to by lie Grand
Monarque. but also to have been i'm
bued with a wholesome distrust and
even dread of the thoroughly unscrup-
ulous Bourbon King. He realized that
were Louis to become aware that he
had brought with him some forty cases
of treasure to the tune of $4,000, 900,
comprising vast quantity of Jewels
and the Charles ii crown. His Gallo
Majesty would not only put IL. stop to
the pension grudgingly paid to the ex-
lied sovereign at st. German. but would
likewise take immediate steps to pos
sess himself of the valuables in ques-
ton. That King James had this trea-
sure in his possession is an historical
fact That he neither disposed of it.
nor was robbed thereof. is equally we'll
established. But what has become Of
1t is q matter Of speculation.

Rubber Is Made in India.

India rubber that is not India rub
Der is being made in France. Henri
Jumelle has perfected a process of
extracting rubber and gutta percha
from bark. Different methods are
used. The Deiss process consists of
grinding up the bark and pounding it
in a mortar and leaving it for Z days
to the action of sulphuric acid. A
black mass is formed. this is washed
and the rubber is separated from it
by passing the mass between wood roll
lers, a stream of hot water playing
upon it the while. A better method
is to pound up the acid paste SO as to
obtain the rubber bore quickly, wash
ing the paste then in a continuous
stream of cold water. The rubber
which is set free is pressed together
in the roller machine and left in the air
for "a hours. In this way about 100
grains of rubber are obtained from ev-
cry pound of bark.

Team win PIay BAN.

This afternoon Manager Stanchfield
stated to the Evening Times that the
franchise had been transferred to Nc
Neil to take effect next Monday, but
that the story that the team was to be
abandoned was untrue. Two of the
players missed the train for Winnipeg
this morning, but it was an accident,
and later the team offered to have the
expense of chartered train deducted
from their salaries If it could be SO
arranged. The players left behind will
go to Winnipeg by the first train.

Lowe Had Travellers.

Two coons were sent out of the city
this morning by Chief Lowe. They
were begging, and as the two possessed
but one leg, they were making pretty
good success, one having $40 on his
person, and the other $1.O5. They were
ordered out of the city yesterday and
refused to go, and this morning the
police purchased tickets for them out
of the money found on them when ar
rested and put them aboard the Great
Northern for pastures new.

Dog Sentenced to Death.

A trial has recently been held in Del
mont, in Switzerland. suggestive of the
middle ages. A father and son have
been condemned to life imprisonment
for murder and robbery. A dog which
the two guilty men had employed was
dealt with even more severely. The
judges took evidence as to the dogs
share in the crime as carefully as to
that of the men and then ordered that
the corrupt beast should be put to
death.-New York Tribune,

SUCCESSFUL PICNIC.
A Delightful Day Spent in the Beauti.
full GrOve-The Sports and Winners.

AuA UIVNc-Auo SpOEtS uuQ VluucESs
An immense crowd of people from
this city and nearby towns spent a
delightful day in the beautiful park
north of the city, and had one of the
most royal times in their lives. The
picnic was under the auspices of. the
Church of the Sacred Heart, the guild
ing spirit being Father Greene, who
was ably assisted by score of en-
thusiastic helpers all bent on giving
the public the worth of it's money,
and they succeeded even beyond their
expectations. The feast which was
spread before the hungry guests was
SUFFICIENT for prince, and was served
as only the ladies Of this city could
serve it. After the visitor had eaten
all he could he still wanted more.
The day was largely for the children
and those who were still children in
enthusiasm though old in years. The
little folks had the best time that the
older ones could give them.
Besides the eating which was the
star attraction to every one, the day
was filled with sporting events of the
most interesting character. Angus Nc
Donald won the foot race, scoring on
an east side reporter who claims to
have been in special practice from
running in advance of irate citizens.
The farmers foot race was won by
Frank Hart, in time limit which
would have made the average profess
sional turn green with envy. The boys
race was won by Johnnie Fiers. and
the little girls race by Margaret Leo.
The sack race was won by Linus Sui
Ivan. the smallest boy in the crowd
of contestants but a typical Grecian in
athletic skill. Paul Garvin won the
rifle in the rifle shoot. and the farmers
carried of the victory in the tug of
war between the farmers and the city
the latter not being able to pull to-
gether. Mack Cummings caught the
creased pig, after chase in which at
least two hundred men and boys had
engaged. Ex-Sheriff Sullivan was Sec
ond best, but was unable to retain his
hold after he had secured it.
The first prize in the horse race was
won by Bob Mclaughlin, the prize
being IS. The second prize which was
a box of cigars was won by Angus
Mcdonald.
About $500 was realized from the
picnic, which will leave a nice sum
to the good after all expenses are paid.

Vision BRIGHT Of Boyhood,s DAYS.

A vision bright of boyhood's days,
Shines forth upon fond memory's
sky:
The mirage natures from the rays.
That rise from scenes of days gone
by;
And there I see the ships again.
And fancy hears their pilots call:
Likewise the sailors deep refrain
AS they with songs each tackle haul
The sails are set. the wind Is fair,
And steady blows the pleasant
breeze:
The ships sail out with skillful care,
To destined ports in far OFF seas;
And now before they fade away,
I'll wave my hand-a fond goodbye
AS they sail across the beauteous bay,
Miraged on fond memOry's sky.

ARoUsES SUSPICION.

Moscow, March 5.--A boldly planned at
tempt on the life of Vice Admiral Douba-
soft, governor general of Moscow and
member of the council of the empire,
was frustrated today.
AS in the case of Vice Admiral Chouk-
min, who on February of this year was
the object of a terrorist attack, the would
be assassin was a woman and her method
was practically the same as that of the
woman who attempted the life of Chouk-
nn Representing that she came from
personal friends of the governor general,
she gained admttance to the chancelerie,
but her agitation attracted the attention
of an aide, who noticed particularly the
luxury of the womans hair, which was
coiffed high upon her head. When she was
interrogated she attempted to flee but
was seized and searched and a small
bomb was discovered concealed in her
tresses. The identity of the woman has
not been established.
