MUSICIANS DEMAND.
Hartford Theater Managers Appar-
 entIy at Mercy of Union.

Hartford, Dec. 17.-Demand has been made on Manager Young of the Scenic theater here, by the Musicians union of Hartford, that he hire three musicians instead of one. The admis- siol at the theater is ten cents and Manager Young says he thinks the de mand out of all reason.
 It is probable that the local Poli theater will accede to the demands of the union. Manager Bailey at Polls said last evening that he saw no req scn to expect any trouble in the flu ture and was inclined to regard the matter as practically settled. The de mands of the musicians for $2O a week with $3 for Sunday, and $25 a week for the leader, with $4 for Sun day, were practically acceded to, though Manager Bailey said that the matter had been referred to head quarters for final adjustment.

PENSIONS.

The first day of business of the six tieth congress witnessed the introduce ton of 2.696 pension bills, nearly all under the brief fermulai Granting an increase of pension" Such bills are never discussed or Gebated-they are passed without question and without party division. We hear much in the Presidents messages of criminal busi- ness interests, nothing of gross mil lions of the peoples money that are as a matter of legislative custom, most improvidently and needlessly spent in pensions.--New York Timss.

descent of the rope owing to their com. pletely exhausted condition. In fact they appeared to be dying. Another determined attempt to reach the wreck will, however, be made at low tide The wind has decreased in violence, but the cold Is intense. and the fury of the sea Is terrible.
 As the victims from the wreck were made comfortable Prince Henry visited the building which Is being used as a morgue and passed down the lines of white draped figures, stopping with the body of fair haired child.
 Only eleven persons were saved out of 1S0 passengers and crew carried by the Berlin when she struck the sand bar.
 Captain Parkinson of the Holt Steam ship line, who was on his way to Am sterdam on board the Berlin to join his vessel, the Myrmidon. and take her back to Liverpool, is one of the eleven survivors of the disaster. He said that the catastrophe was due to the fact that the Berlin broached to in the ter rife sea as she was entering the wa terway and that before she was able to recover herself she was dashed upon the pier head and parted amidships. Veteran pilots and seamen who watched the Berlin being driven to her doom say the gale was the fiercest in many years.
 It has been discovered that the wreck of the Berlin is resting on the remains of the British steamer Leeds, which was lost on this same spot in 1882.

certain famous telescopes now in e1 istence may be of interest before w consider the question of what th( great new mirror may be expected ts accomplish for astronomy. The Ltcl telescope on Mount Hamilton, fol many years the most powerful in the world, is 36 inches in diameter, and its successor in the leadership of giant astronomic instruments, the Yerkei telescope of the Chicago University Is 40 inches in diameter. Both of these it is true, are refracting, not rehect ing, telescopes-that is to say, thes depend for their power to grasp thd light of the heavenly bodies, and ts bring it to focus where 8 magnih able image of the object looked at i formed, not upon cOncave mirror but upon convex object glass-but nevertheless, the amount of light thai they can collect depends. just as iI the case of reflecting telescope, upon their "aperture," or diameter. Conso quently, leaving out of sight as of na material consequence for our purpose the relative capacities of the two kinda of instruments for utilizing the light that enters them, We may, as before base the comparison upon the squarea of their diameters. Then, the square of 36 being 1,296, and the square oi 100 being 10000. we see that the new Mount Wilson telescope will exceed the Lick telescope in light-graspinl power almost eight times; and. thS square of 40 being 1900. it will exceed the great Yerkes telescope, in lik( manner, more than six times. Nt more is needed to demonstrate th( truth of what we said at the begin ming, that this ambitious California; project marks an enormous step il advance for the size. and. 1t may nov be added, the power of telescopes.
 But the great advantage of the 10Q inch telescope will lie, as already in timated, in its enormous light-grasp ing capacity. This, independently o( any question of magniflcation of tho image, will endow 1t. to an unexAmi pied degree. with what Herschel called penetrating power" 1. e., the sbility to look deeper into the profunditiel of space than any eye has ever ysi been able to range. This power VIII manifest itself both by making th( faint distant stars that existing telo scopes reveal appear plainer an( brighter, and by revealing probabl1 millions of other, at present unknown stars and other objects. such e nsbu lac, whose light is too faint sensibly to impress eithe. the eye or tho pho tographic plate with the instrumsatl now in use.
 Prof. Hale expects that the neu telescope will greatly increase th< possibility of finding intermedistd types of stars. which have hithsrtd escaped the ken of the largest instrul ments, showing the transition from the so-called solar stars. which rssem ble our sun. to stars of the ''fourth type" which appear to be suns nearly extinguished. Thus 1t will give india pensable aid in establishing . knowb edge of the course and steps of stsIlas evolution.

CHESS CUP WILL TRAVEL.

The International Cable Tournament
 Looks Like British Victory.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 23-When play in the ninth international cable chess match between teams representing American and Great Britain closed the chances of the American team looked rather slim.
 Of the ten games started the Ameri- cans had won one, the Britishers two and one had been drawn. Howell, with a Giuoco piano opening, defeated Mitchell on the twenty-frst move, but the enthusiasm of the Americans was short lived, for the British claimed a victory for Richmond over Morgan, the latter failing to observe the time limit.
 The rules called for twenty moves an hour, while Morgan, understanding that all he was required to do was to make forty moves in two hours, failed to keep within the limit for the first hour
 On the tenth boASd Wainwright de- feated Robinson, the American. and Marshall drew with Burr on the first board. The match will continue to- day, but from the positions on the other six boards 1t is probable that the Sir George Newnes cup, which has been held for two years by the Brook lyn Chess club, will take another trip across the Atlantic.

CREATE OWNCHARA
HOW PLAIN GIRL MAY RIVAL
 HER LOVELY SISTER.
Must Cultivate the Art of Pleasing the Opposite sex-Many Wave In Which She Can Com
 pei Admiration.

It has been said that there would be no geniuses among women if all women were beautiful-that 1t Is only their knowledge that they lack per. sonal charms that spurs plain women on to compete with men in the world of art and letters, says writer in the Chicago American.
 Yet nearly everyone can recall in- stances where girls who were unde. niably plain of features. even lacking attractive figures, have been more popular in society and made better marriages than have some acknowl- edged beauties in their own set.
 The secret is that the plain girl knows that she must exert herself If she would enter the competition with her more charming sister. The latter has been endowed with certain charms-the plain girl has to create charms for herself. A hard task, you may say, but not an impossible one If the girl has a bit of brain, and most plain girls have more than 8 bit
 What every plain girl has to say is this: T cannot compel admiration and attention from the male sex by reason of my good looks. therefore I must cultivate those arts which, in mems eyes, are of far greater impor. tance than beauty. will make any man into whose company I may be thrown. wish to meet me again"
 This just means that plain girl has got to exert herself; the pretty girl allows her looks to do all the work. but her plain sister must labor assiduously in order to make herself thoroughly popular. Sad to say, a pretty girl is usually not bit too well.mannered; she is inclined to be snobbish and conceited. Now, the plain girl must avoid these failings; she must cultivate good manner, and must neither be conceited nor snobbish-if she has the slightest tendencies in these latter directions she is bound to be greatly disliked whereas her pretty sister is tolerated on account of her good looks.
 A plain girl must learn how to sym pathize with men, and that is not difficult. She must, too. always al low any man into whose company she is thrown to have the floor" That just means that she must train her self to listen patiently and get out of the habit. if formed. of pushing forward her own views.
 That gives her an advantage over the pretty girl. who is inclined to be autocratic and petulant at times.
 Men like girls who sit quietly and listen to. them chattering. It fiatters them. and they conclude these girls have vast common sense: and that is just what plain girl has to do-sht must make men see that she Is per son. of common sense.
 At the same time 1t is not true tha a plain girl has just got to scheme ; bit in order to gain popularity wit men. No; she must be very sincer and serious on occasions, but sh must always beware of advisi. :; gentleman friend if he happens to al peal to her for advice. The bette plan is for her to say that he mus know what to do far better than she That pleases man wonderfully. 4 soft. persuasive tone of voice Is o | immense service 'n r'ain girl.
