NEWS AND ITS COLLECTORS.

If you ask where the newspaper gets its news, no one can answer. At the beginning of the day there are the de- serted wires of the Associated Press, promising the news by night, and there are the silent telephones dumb now but everyone ready to exclaim
 busy now'' as soon as you try to use them. The mails will bring letters and lot of newspapers during the day. It is settled that there will be certain meetings, and that some events already announced will come off that day. For all the rest, the news has yet to make itself. Nobody knows what it will be or where it will come from. Things happened; they are heard of, followed up, verified, and related. That's all in the days work. System goes as far as it can in preparing for what may happen, but what will happen none can say; what does happen the news paper tells. The more unexpected the event, the greater it's relative import ance. The later it comes the fresher it is and so the more desirable. The harder to find out about it, the more necessary to give all the details con- cerning it. It is a daily wonder how the newspaper-a volume of history, happening, written and published all in one day-succeeds in this.
 It may be that the most important piece of the news of the night comes over the wire close to the hour of go- ing to press-a Chicago fire, a San Francisco earthquake, another Czar assassination or anything of that sort; then work, instead of stopping, just begins, Much of what has been pre- pared by the column must be reduced to lines to make room for the real story. And the story itself must be made ready with all available mate rial that adds to it's interest and makes it more direct and ineligible. It may be that tired city reporter after a long days work while on his way home after midnight walks into some large piece of news. He has worked his full day, why not go on and to bed? Not at all. He never thinks of that On the contrary he starts in all over again the more zealous since this is the latest news and so the freshest and most desirable. Instead of grum- bling at his new burden you will hear him expressing satisfaction that the affair came his way so that he could deal with it. His only fear is that some other reporter may have come upon it, too,

Haw- ley, chief proprietor of the Courant, was in the Senate in Washington that a new boy was engaged to bring our evening mail from the Post Office Many of the generals letters came to Hartford, After bringing them over for several nights the boy came and asked me.

That i've" was sug- gestivt of the promptness with which the boy had made himself a part of the establishment, and did him credit, amusing as it sounded when repeated. Editor Clarks Yale Lecture.

Magician Keller accompanied by Engiand's leading conjurer, Paul Vala- don will be seen at the New Haven theater on Saturday next, matinee and night.
 The bafI1ing illusions performed by that wonderful magician, Kellar, in former years were admittedly the most perplexing and mystifying examples of the llecromancer's art ever offered, but this season all of Mir. Kellar's previous efforts have been surpassed, as he en- ters still further into the weird filed of Oriental oceultism.
 Disdaining the use of a darkened stage, and not resorting to covers. wires, traps or other similar subter- ftges, he presents on a fully lighted stage the most wonderful example of oecultism ever done by any one.
 The Great Kellar calls his newest il- lusion "The Sailor" The Witch and the Enchanted Monkey" and uses dur ing its presentation six intensely inter- esting characters whom he causes to disappear individually, and to reappear at the most unlocked for time, and in the strongest conceivable places

POOLING THE INSPECTOR.

Pooling a fruit inspector is an achievement of which a Dallas man has boasted, much to the amusement of his neighbors, According to reports, general spraying order had been is- sued requiring treatment of trees with lime-sulphur solution, but as this was not only expensive, but difficult, the fruit-grower mentioned used a sub stitute. He used lime only, and gave his trees a coating of whitewash before the Inspector came around. Then he oragged about it. The fact of the matter was that he fooled nobody but himself, for he was the chief loser by the substitution. Though his diseased trees may endanger other orchards they will be first to suffer the ravages or the scale. His smart trick was on an equality with that of the farmer who mixed sawdust with the corn meal fed to his horse. He may have fooled the inspector, but he didn't de- eeive the scale inseet.-Portland Orego- nian.

AN ENGLISH TRIBUTE TO LONG,
 FELLOW

The Wednesday of this week, Feb.
 27th, sees a century completed since
 the birth of Henry Wadsworth Long, fellow. I do not know wether the date will be publicly noticed in the United
 States; in this country few who un- derstand the charming character of the
 poet, true lover of domestic quiet and the private joys of friendship, could have wished that 1t should have any loud and elaborate honor paid it. But
 surely of the countless readers and lovers of his verse (not to speak of his prose) many possess the instinct
 for anniversaries, and will pay him at
 this time a special homage in their hearts. True, in recent review of him

throughout the country. The regular service, which is most elaborate at Christmas and Easter, consists usual ly of three stages. The spirits are first invoked. Then there is dancing in the open by a woman, who performs the evolutions with such frenzied swift ness, the priest urging her in by in cantations, that sae ultimately falls to the ground in trance. As she lies the people dance around Ter. Then the priest sacrifices a white rooster, and taking the dripping head, sprinkles the blood on all present. The woman is. lifted up and used as a medium and made to respond to questions by the priest, The third stage is the dancing of the bamboula the drinking of tafia or native rum, and the most riotous revels.
 The Government does not as a rule interfere with these proceedings. The papaloi has too much power over the people, and he can of cour influence them politically, while even the high est officials are more or less affected by the prevailing belief. They, how ever, endeavor as far as possible to keep it's manifestations hidden from the curious eyes of the stranger One day I heard that voodoo ceremony was to take place at night on the out skirts of the capital, and I prevailed on negro to guide me to the spot. On the way we learned that the ceremony was not to take place, and inquiring later I found that it had been prohi- bited by the Secretary of State for the Interior.
 The question whether human sacri- ture of the ceremonies is a perplex- ing one which 1t is impossible for an incidental observer to answer with any degree of confidence. I could find none to say that he had actually wit messed the rites of "red voodoo," but many to assert positively that the off, ferlng Is often made and the latter pointed out how impossible it is for a white man to secure access to the se- cret assemblies in the woods. I was told the story of german who was taken by a negro to witness cere- mony where the "goat without horns" was sacrificed, but he had in the end to fight his way out. It may be added that the Government acknowledged many years ago that the worship did involve the eating of human flesh, anL the country districts of Hayti change little with the years, but the evidence of the continued prevalence of the practice is both meagre and of doubt full quality

They regard it as a criminal reversion to aboriginal habit and do their best to stamp it out. In one case they shot all the prisoners, who included some women. The newspapers give reports of the trials in these cases, and a very strong public sentiment has de- veloped against the crime.

nee Wednesday, and Billy s. Clifford is the clever comedian who is responsi- ble for all the fun-making in this mu- sical melange.
 MT. Clifford, who by earnest en- deavor, hard work and sincerity has placed himself on the level with the foremost comedians of to-day, is intro- duced in this piece ma role naturally suited to him. In it he artistically de- piets the character of Tom Baron, the dude scion of rich New York stock broker, and is a strenuous factor in a merry medley of complications, eman- ating from the duplicity of his fathers junior partner, in which he proved himself to be man, and not the friv- olous boy he is supposed to be.

similar in it's general character to such plays as Way Down East,9 York State Folks and Sag Harbor."
 As the name signifies the play is built on the Biblical story of the shepherd who with his ninety and nine sheep s2fely in their shelter went in search Of the stray lamb. The story contains deep pathos and is beautifully told. With it's strong dramatic situations there is an abundance of comedy.
 Helen Grey Is the central character of the story She is young girl who has unfortunately strayed from the straight and narrow way. She become resident of a country community and there endeayors to atone for her past. Here she meets and is loved by a school master She is about to be married when her past is brought up by man who knew her.
 In spite of her struggles to do ade- quate atonement for her past way Wardnes, the village gossips mouth the choice morsel of scandal and it threat ems 10 be the cause of her entire un- doing until she is championed by sheep herder whose life has been spent in caring for his flock.
 Through this atmosphere of pathos is a vein of humor furnished by country scenes such as a school room which is a typical one and causes great merri- ment. It brings vividly back to mind to those who received their early edu- cation in the country, the happy days spent in the little old red school house
 The character of Helen Grey will be played by Grace Franklin Lynch. The charactetr of the sheep herder is to be played by Lawrence B. McGill. Cam eron Clemens will play the part of the school mastetr and Victor 0. Browne the part o fthe man who brings to the fore the unfortunate past of the girl.

While the piece is built along the line of musical comedy, in some instances. its score is said to riseto the dignity of light opera. The play itself is reported to be highly en- tertaining and diverting, and to sparkle with musical and terpsichorean novel, ties. As a vehicle for the introduction of Gordon and Gilbert's inimitagle drolleries, it is apparently perfect.
