GORTON'S FAMOUS MlNSTRELS
AT OPERA HOUSE THURSDAY

This company will be remembered
as giving such a fine performance here
last season. Superb in stage setting,
scenic effect and sumptuous costuming
the e first part" setting of the
performance given by Gorton's min
strels this season is said to surpass
anything ever presented in minstrelsy.
The scene represents the broad lawn
of the Ponce de Leon Hotel" the
amous winter resort of Florida. On
every side sparkling fountains and
bright hued flowers adorn the land
scape. In the background appears the
imposing outlines of this famous hos
telry, magnificent in structure and gor-
geous in color. Numerous brilliant
electric lights add to the s~plendor and
beauty Of this tropical scene. The
costuming Of the company is elab-
crate, and calls for special attention.
The vocalists are attired in the ele-
CANT satin court costumes of Louis
XIV; the end men are respondent in
evening dress suits of cerise satin;
he ~nterlocutor appears in a costume
of pure white satin, and the orchestra
in steel gray satin. The whole picture
forms a brilliant and picturesque en-
semble, original in conception and
pleasing in every detail. The COM
pany will appear at the Opera House
next Thursday evening, May IA.

cracker age, decided to spend the day
in some quiet woods that outlie the
mining town of x. About noon it
began to rain and we sought shelter
in one OF the engine rooms OF q coal
mine. The mine was closed on &C
count of the holiday, and we decided
to explore it. We decended, hand over
hand, down the cross bars of the shaft
until we reached the bottom, about
900 feet below the surface. There
We found an empty coal car, which we
boarded and began to shove ourselves
slowly along with a crowbar.
All went well until we suddenly
struck a down grade. The car gained
speed SO rapidly that before We realiz,
ed it We were tearing through the
bowels of the earth with terrific speed.
The rush of air extinguished our lamps,
leaving us in total darkness, ~clinging
to the car and expecting every second
the crash that would mean death.
For some moments the flight
through unknown darkness continued
now around a curve, now over a switch.
Then came the expected crash.
When l recovered consciousness
John was bathing a wound in my
head with water from the floor.

and, losing control of the a stopped
1t on the railroad tracks squarely in
front of the approaching train. Then
to complete the job he lost the rest of
his wits and jumped out of the front
window, and left the crowded car
stranded in front of the train.
1t was Sunday and the trolley car
was packed, most of the passengers
being and children. Every
body realized the peril at the same
instant and a stampede ensued. IT

one could get out of the front end was

Many Means Of cummunieation.

If the use of the various means Of
communication is to be considered as
a measure of civilization, this country
certainly appears to al advantage
when compared with Europe. The last
figures obtainable are for the year
ending January 1, 1905. OF letters and
postal cards each 1000 persons sent
6,719, as compared to 29,554 for Eu-
rope. In h matter of kilograms each
100 Americans sent 1899 messages for
every 731 transmitted by Europeans.
But it is in the matter of telephone
messages that the inhabitants Of the
United States far surpassed those of
the Old World. While each 1000 of
population in the old country sent
1864 messages by the telephone, each
1000 Americans SEM 44,344, or more
tnan six times as many.

Reckless Driver Makes Nearly Fatal

Reckless Driver Makes Nearly Fatal
Turn.
Two years ago, accompanied by a
friend. l was making the ITO mile
stage journey across the coast noun
tains of Oregon from Port Oxford to
Goldsburg, the nearest point having
railroad connections. We were making
the first stage of the trip, f~orty-1ve
miles up into the mountains from Port
Oxford to Myrtle Point. A heavy fog
covered the low foothills as we left
Port Oxford, and for several miles the
old Concord stage numbered through
drifts of leecy cloud, as we came
gradually nearer the top of the di-
vide. Before beginning the last and
most perilous part of Jul trip we
changed our heavy coach at a way
station on the road for a light oun
tain blackboard.
The driver was a gay fellow and
having learned that we were from the
east and unused to such driving, he
suddenly developed a great fondness
for lashing the horses into a run when
w had a bit of level o a or the grade
started down hill. We had already
Travelled several hundred miles by
stage and considered that we were
beyond the point of kicking at little &C.
centricities of this kind. After we
had reached the top of the divide, well
above the Heecy bank OF fog that COW
cred the coast country, the driver be-

the confines OF the road. For one aw-
full moment the blackboard seemed to
pause on the brink Of the ieclivity and
then the horses gathered themselves
in one powerful plunge, and we were
by the danger.
What We said to the driver is an
other story, but 1t was effective.
