Theatre management made ten-

offering for the holiday week.
The play has a consistent plot and
is OF the highest class comedy, while
the musical numbers, which were
written by Boyle Voolfolk and
William Frederick Peters, composer
of 1.-THE Mayor of Toxic" are said to
equal anything produced IN the
musical comedy line in recent years.
The piece de resistance, is a
dainty number called "Eve," which
usually calls forth from ten to twelve
encores at each performance. Other
beautiful songs are The Land of

Of the desperate character Of many
of his customers. Knowing that they
included the scum and riffraff of the
world, he took precautions against
them. He never carried any money.
which fact he announced so frequently
and publicly that it was known every
where along the Riviera that the mil
lionaire Blanc never had a penny on
his person. But he carried in a pocket
book a draft on red paper for several
hundred thousand francs. payable to
the indorsee. He feared kidnapping as
much as robbery, and in case of alb

at his Office were not to cash a red

CHINESE CUNNING.

An Officials Subtle Scheme For Seeur.
ing His Prisoners.
One of the funniest stories about
Chinatown is not really Chinese. 1t
was told by British consul at one of
the treaty ports. He arrested nine de-
hnquent Chinese, intending to turn
them over to the tender mercies of the
native magistrate next morning Mean
while he gave them into the custody
of Chinese policeman, telling him to
lock them up, though there was no Jail
at the consulate. But the policeman
was equal to the emergency. He SOL
EMMY saluted, saying 81 obey" and
marched his men off. Soon he return
ed and announced that they were
safely Gagged.
The consul was curious to see how
and where. He followed his police
man TO the yard. There he saw the
nine prisoners dancing round the con-
sulate Flagstaff, lugubriously chanting
the Chinese equivalent of ring around
a rosy" Whenever the dance showed
signs OF tagging the policeman stirred
them up with long pole. They seem
ed at first sight to be holding each
others hands. but. looking closer, the
consul saw that they were handcuffed
together.
Well said the consul. "if they are
chained in ring around the flagstaff
they can certainly not get away. But
why do you make them dance"
"Ah," answered the Chinese police
man, with infinite cunning. $50 that
they cannot climb up the pole and get
away"
The consul broke out into d loud
British laugh and tried to explain to
the Chinaman that the nine prisoners
could certainly not all climb up the
pole at once, but the Chinaman had
bis idea and held to It, So the dance
went on.-Harper's Weekly.

An Early Adjournment.

There appears to be a determination
on the regular republican side in con-
gress to rush matters through with
the view to adjournment not later than
July 1. The probabilities are that the
railroad bill, the postal savings bill
and the conservation bill will be forced
through rapidly, despite insurgent op-
position. The house has already, by
the adoption of the special rule, given
evidence of its willingness to apply
drastic measures in the matter of cut
ting down amendments and shutting
off debate. This procedure made DOS
sible recently the passage by that body
the house postal savings bank bill,
which now goes to conference with
fair probability that the senate will
accept it in the place of its own.
The president, should this program
be carried out. will have obtained only
very small part of the legislation
which he recommended in his message
at the opening of congress. 1t is doubt
full. however, If he would urge con-
gress to remain in session longer, even
If he had the assurance that 1t would
pass more of his measures. It is pos
Bible, of course. that his action on the
river and harbor bill may have the
effect Of postponing adjournment, but,
aside from this, 1t may be taken for
granted that he will do nothing to de-
fer the departure OF the senators and
representatives to their homes, or the
departure Of his own household to the
seaside.
For their own part the represen+a.
ltives will be only too glad to get back
to their districts, where there is much
to be done In the repairing OF fences.
The fight of next fall is apparently to
be so closely contested that few of
those congressman Of either party, or
either faction in the republican party
can afford to overlook the smallest
details.
