Oriqin of Vaudeville Turns.

We are indebted to John Chinaman
for the modern vaudeville turn"
There were theaters in China when our
ancestors were wandering about dress
ed In skins and blue paint, and the &C.
tors In those farof times were just as
anxious to please their patrons as the
modern artist" Is to get the applause
which gluddens his heart and-more
important still-sends his salary up
The play over. each member of the
troupe came forward to receive the ap-
pkluse to which he thought he was en-
titled, and one Of them hit on the
bright idea Of performing some simple
trick to proiong the enthusiasm OF the
spectators His example was speedily
followed and these tricks soon became
obligatory. One actor would produce a
cat or monkey from hat: another
would initiate an animal or swallow"
an object which he afterwurd found In
his boot Each tried to surpass the
other. and feats Of strength and dex-
terity were soon added to these simple
tricks.-PearSon's Weekly.

No Team Work In France.

The French nation is IL mass of indi-
vidual particles, scintilating, assertive
strangers to all the ethics Of cohe-
sion They are incapable of team work.
writes Samuel p. Orth in the Atlantic
You never read of French football or
baseball or organized sports. They are
"a nation Of individualists. brilliant in
dividualists. Their philosophy. poetry.
art. music. science. literature. all bear
the imprint of superindividualism
that has filed the world with its ra-
dance. They defy every known law
Of human gravitation and fly off in a
million fragments. careless of results.
In truth. they never think Of results.
They have the child's love for the do
ing and the child's scorn for the thing
done. They begin more processes, in
ventiens, contrivances. experiments.
and end fewer than all the rest of Eu-
rope put together. The French pro-
pose; the Germans and the English dis

Move Brings Events to Crisis

Mexico City, Oct. 13.-Visio-
riano Huerta, Pro, isicnal Prdsi
d mt. today proclaimed hims II
dictator of Mexico and overthrow
the constitution.
Huerta issued a decree an
nouncing that he has assumed all
the former powers of Congress
relating to war, finance and the
domestic affairs of the nation.
He says he will permit the De-
partment Of Justice to exercise
its usual functions unless IT
interferes with his DEGREES, .
which will be issued from time
to time.
The constitutional exemption
of members OF Congress from
arrest is revoked by the decree,
and the dictator proclaims that
he alone is the supreme power in
Mexico.
He pledges himself 20 make a
due report to his actions to tie
next Congress, to be elected on
October goth.
ENGLAND ON GUARD.
All of today's papers copy dis
patches from Vera Cruz stating
that British warships have been
seen in the Gulf of Mexico, and
the belief is growing that quick
and decisive action is to be taken
by the powers in the present
crisis.
The government is arrangin.
t. rush the trial of the accused
deputies, but this is expected to
b. a farce in view of Huerta's
decree. which virtually says that
the Department of Justice may
do as he says.
