Dubuque. Dec. 27.-For u young
vaudeville actor, scarcely past the age
of 20. to Joe seated in his dressing room
making mp for n performance, and to
be handed telegram informing him
that he has just been bequeathed $780,
600 is rather startling incident ana
one we'll calculated to upset any man
on earth for moment or two. but that
is exactly the experience which three
weeks ago befell Frank Fl. Tinney, the
comedy pianist. who is playing at the
Bijou this week
The story was the subject of gossip
among The stage hands and attaches
Of the down town theater upon Mr..
Tinney's arrival in the city, and when
it finally got out. the young performer
was sought out and asked IL 1t were
really true, or If 1t was simply q
prop story faxed up for the occa-
sion.
In answer to this inquiry, Mr.. Tin
ney smiled amusedly. and reaching into
the depths of pocket case, he pro-
duced .. telegram which he unfolded
and lay upon table for inspection.
The message read: Mother has died
and left you 100000. Letter will ex-
plain. Rose
In connection Herewith, Mr. Tinney
very graciously consented to explain
this streak Of good luck, which became
his portion while playing in Topeka.
Kas., several weeks ago.
His father is superintendent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, he said, and they
maintain family cottage at the Steel
Pier, Atlantic City, where the per-
former spends the greater portion Of
each summer His especial pride is a
racing autpboat, which they own and
to the speed Of which his later good
fortune is largely due.
Mr. 1inney and his .fat Their were seat
ed on the veranda of their cottage one
day astJune, watching the maneuvers
of small boat out on the water In
which young man and a girl were
seated. suddenly the craft capsized,
and before you could wink an eye, both
and before either could wink an eye,
both the occupants were thrown over
board.
The rest of the story Is short. The
autoboat was called into requisition,
in a second 1t was out at the side of
the struggling ones, and the work was
done. The actor saved the young wor-
an while his father rescued the youth.
1t proved later that the two were
brother and sister, and the children OF
a wealthy Philadelphia woman who
were spending the summer at the
shore.

Japan a Far Sighted Nation.

(From the washington Cd. CD Post.)
Japan's has been ar-sighted gaze
from the time she first opened her
eyes to modern civilization. She has
fairly swept to the fore, both politi-
cally and commercially, like restless
flood, and she means to outstrip all
others if she can. Her statesmen
have the gift Of patience, and they
lay their plans for years in advance
OF realization. AS the chairman of the
British company said: 1.-The soul of
the people that had lain dormant for
centuries has suddenly awakened to
almost supernatural activity" So
swiftly does she strike, along the path
of her progress, that one wonders
each day what tidings the next one
will bring Of her doings.
