Mr.. Burton held long conference with
Speaker Cannon yesterday afternoon. and
the general impression about the House
seems 10 be that the Speaker will insist
upon Mr. Burtons retaining the chair
| manship of Rivers and Harbors There
seems 10 be a general demand upon Mr.
Burton 70 have him keep the place. and
although he has expressed himself as pre-
terring not 10 work as hard this session
as IN the past. il is thought he will be
Induced 20 keep his well-trained hand al
the helm OF affairs concerning the apA
preparation Of money for projects that
may or may not be advisable. That Mr..
Burton has no superior in the House
when 1t comes 70 knowing all about the
rivers and harbOrs I'm this country has
long been conceded. and never has any
thing but a meritorEus project come
forth from his committee room for pas
sage.
That his defea; by Tom johnson for the
mayoralty Of Cleveland has not impaired
his powers in the House seems evident
from the fact that IL is known that the
Speaker has called him into conference
whenever there has been any problem OF
Ohio cOmmitteeships.
A peculiar incident happened in connec-
tion with the House Committee on Naval
Affairs the last Congressional election.
Though many members OF the Fifty-ninth
Congress failed OF reelection. the entire
membership OF the committee was re-
turned TO the Sixtieth Congress, with the
exception OF Representative Rixey. OF
Virginia, deceased. and Representative
CARRIER. Of Ohio. who declined nomination.
This IS the only instance Of a large and
important committee being returned in
tact. Representative Albert r Dawson,
Of Iowa. commenting on the fact said-

They are fine specimens OF physical laan-

are interested in mines ia Nicaragua.
They said that Nicaragua offered unusu-
ally fine opportunities for enterprising
miners. and that they were working gold
mines with considerable profit. Mr.. Nc
Cali said that there were traces every
where in that country Of some of the
gold and silver mines having been worked
many years back. but that they had
never been operated below the water

mining operations only in a haIf-hearted
manner, and that as soon as II required

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Not only are the waists of costumes to be in tailored effects, but there is very decided turning toward the sep arate waist of tailored style, and many of them are very chic and dashing.
 The all around kilted skirt, while stilf in favor, has rival in the interrupted effects, as the dressmakers say, and there are already an infinity of new ways of introducing panels and em- placements, all more or less effective. { A strenuous effort is being made to introduce flannel waists for smart wear, but, while it is affected by very young girls for school dresses, the idea cannot be said to be generally making the impression that was expected of 1t.
 Broadcloth, supple, rich, glossy, as it is this year, is given wide preference over all other materials for tailored costumes, and, while only the more sober shades are utilized in those de- signed for street wear, the odd blues, grays, greens, old reds and vivid pur- pies are all sought for for more formal gowns.-New York Post.

LEW FIELDS.

2 j a, rf 9 . r7 - tt z a
 Lew Fields, probably the most successful low comedian now before the American public, is booked for an engagement in this city at Polls Wednesday evening, in his latest offering, the musical comedy. The Girl Behind the Counter" which he recently purchased, in conjunction with the Messrs. Shubert after it's run of a year at. the Wyndham thea ter, London, and which x has been thoroughly Americanized by Edgar Smith, and stage managed by Julian Mitchell. MT Fields has been play, ing in this comedy for the past three weeks in Philadelphia, and from here he takes it direct to his Herald Square theater, New York, for the seasons run. Therefore ".The Girl Behind the Counter" with it's cast of one hundred players, cannot be said to be in it's experimental stages. but it can truthfully be said that it has all the virtues of newness of cos tunes and scenery, which are the most elaborate ever devised for MT Fields and the Shuberts. The com edy is laid in two acts, the first scene being the interior of an Amer- ican department store in London and the second at a simmer garden at Hammersmith. There are twenty musical numbers in the play, and number of novel scenic effects and new dances. Prices soc to $2. Seats now on sale. Telephone 1884. No free list. Orders must be called for before noon Monday.

1.-THE OLD HOMESTEAD"

That the, quaintest, most original and most attractive of all rural plays "The Old Homestead" will meet with its usual warm welcome at Polls, Thursday, Sept. 26, matinee and night goes without saying. The pioneer of rural dramas has stood on its own merits for twenty-one years, and yet it's power to attract and please audiences seems not to lessen in the slightest. Every child gets his first dip into the joys of the theater through the medium of "The Old Homestead" for every parent has seen and en- joyed the wholesomeness of this old play and wants his children to do the same. To old and young alike 1t is well-spring of pleasure. The company playing the "Old Homestead" this seasonwas selected carefully by MT Thompson himself, and each individual character is said to be played with the same natural art that made MT Thompson him. self one of the famous men of our stage.

New Weyburn's Side Show with one. Harry Pilcer, trying to be the whole shooting match is the headline feature at Jacques this week but one would never know it unless he was wist before he entered the theater. The company includes MT Pilcer and seven maids, and there is not T sing CT in the outfit. The mechanical ef
 fleets such as they are were old years ago. Pilcer has an overabundance of hair with which he tries hard to please and has q few good dancing steps. But the act does not nearly meet eX- pectations. The four Rianos in their acrobatic skit In Africa" are much the same as on their last appearance in this city but have an Interesting act The Swor brothers are still en- tertaining as singers and dancers al- though they could without much diff culty considering their ability give the public better number. One of them as monolOgue artist would have no trouble in making good. Melville and Higgins provided much fun for the audience last night. They have some old stuff but most of their remarks go with a ding. The latest thing for vaudeville fin this city is a Chinese baritone, Lee Tung Foo, who warbles in Chinese, German and English. My Irish Rosie" and "Arrah Wanna" are his favorites Aunt Bedelia's Furni- ture" is the name of q sketch which is on this weeks bill and the Norton Russell duo is the opening number. The weather had a marked effect up- on the attendance last night.
