 The sketch of the Potts Brothers with their company at this theatre this week deserves to be the headline act because It Is. really one of the most entertaining and most remarkable piaylets that has appeared here this season. The theme of their act arises from mistaken identity. The Potts Brothers resemble each other so close- ly that one cannot be told from the other, and as one of them in the play Is married and the other Is not, the wife gets mixed as to which Is her husband. This Is an old chestnut. but 1t is always funny. ever. sirace Shakes- peare's two DFomlos cohvulsed the English speaking world with laugh ter. %
 A good blackface net Is always a most enjoyable feature of any high class vaudeville program and the Ma jestic management is to be ,cengratu- lated upon scouting so excellent q team of burnt cork artists as Mack and West who are albright number of this weeks offering. This team are refined while, excessively funny, and they tell some new jokes and have original methods which are truly re- freshipg. The couple, also sing well and in fact are, such prime entertainers that the crowds are 10th to sec them make their exit, f' ;.
 The Great Apstins. as they call them. selves, claim to be the "only lady aud gentleman novelty tambouFine spinners and tossers In the world" and there Is no desire to contradict this flaming statement. However. the pair do a very clever act and what they do not do with the litue. tambourines is real ly not worth mentioning. They toss them around as if they were mere bis cults and they spin them in every con- ceivable way from any old position. Tt Is a novel spectacle and one that the audience evidently enjoyed very much if we may judge from the generous applause that was granted the dex- terous couple. -r

LYDIA THOMPSON DEAD.
Fad Comes To Famous BnrIesaue

Actress.
 Chicago. Nov. fS---A dispatch from New York to The Record Herald says; Lydia Thompson, perhaps the most famous burfesaue actress of her time. died suddenly ht her home in West minister mansions. London.
 The news reached this country in brief cablegram to her daughter. Zeffie Tfibury, herself an actress and the wife of the stage manager for Nat Goodwin. et Probably no other woman of the English stage. either in the serious or frivolous phases of the drama. excit- ed such furore in the United States as did Lydia Thompson when she first came here in 1888. Her roputa- ton had preceded her, however. for she already had made triumphal tour of the chief capitals of Europe.
 Miss Thonisson made. fbur visits to this country She estimated that she earned fully s500.000 on her American tours. but she often said that she only received about $50.0o0. being robbed of the rest by persons whom she trusted.

Caracas, Venezuela, March %, via
Willemstad, Curacao, March 2S.-W.
w. Russell, the American minister to
Venezuela, in a note dated March 81,
advised Dr. Jose de Jesus Paul, the
Venezuelan foreign minister, that
three pouches of official mail brought
into Laguira, March Is, by the steam
er Zeulia. for the American cruiser
Tacoma. had been opened in the La
guria postoffice The Tacoma arrived
at Laguria March Is, and is still there.
Mr. Russell said it was very serious
thing to break the seal of navy CORE
spondence, and he asked for an inves-
tigation.
DIR. Paul answered Mr. RUSSELL
note yesterday enclosing a report
from the Lag0ria postmaster He said
the opening of the pouches in question
was accidental and was due to the fact
that the seals on them were similar
to others in use in the Laguria post
office: that it was customary to open.
In addition, DR.. Paul said that only a
prejudice of the mind could call this
occurrence very serious" as the con-
tents of the pouches had not been
disturbed.

So Thinks Englishman-

RN Associated Press.

Victoria, b. c., March 2S.-That
the north pole is shifting and that
the climate is changing, making the
northern territories of this continent
warmer and Asia colder, is he theory,
to support which, Moses B. Colworth,
Of York, England, has been gathering
evidence in Alaska from whence ne

A curious effect of this change il

The boundary is fixed by latitude,
and if the north pole is really moving,
the ATTITUDES change also, rendering
it advisable that the boundary by
speedily marked everywhere by per-
manent monuments wher it has not
been so marked already.
This movement, Colworth says, is
caused by the immense accommodations
of ice along the Canadian shore of
the Arctic circle generally over
towards Siberia, where there are no
immense denominations OF glacial to
TO counterfeit the movement
The result is that North America
and Europe are becoming warmer
and Siberia and Asia generally colder.
