MUCH LIKE FARCE
Details of mic-Opera RevoIu"
 ton in Brazil.
Army and Fleet Sent Against Thirty Men Finally Succeeded in Restor-
 ing Peace and Order.

Some rather entertaining details of the so-called 'revolt'' which occurred at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, u short time ago, as reported in the Montreal Fam lily Herald, by an eyewitness, have come to hand by recent mail ad- vices.
 Although the outbreak had it's seri- Ous side-sOme 30 persons were killed and twice that number injured-it never attained really serious propOr- tlOns. The government having been warned of what was likely to occur, had taken steps to keep its land and sea forces, particularly the latter, out side the influence of the pOliticO-mili- tary junta, headed by ex-President Marshal Hermes da FOnseca, which was responsible for the seditious dem- OnstratiOn against SenhOr Bernnrdes, the Presfdent-elect.
 The great event of the twO-days' Insurrection was the siege" of the fort at Copa Cobana, the fashionable Bgaside sdDdfb at s te4Hee esafe A5r Af
 Rios famous bay. The garrison of the fort numbered about 30 men, and their performances
 with the local artillery, eliminating in two extraordinary chance hits on the ministry for war, which surprised mo- body more than the gunners, led to the government sending against them two dreadnaughts, two cruisers, de- ! strOyer f1Otilla, squadron of bombing planes, and 2,OOO men, with field ar tillery and machine guns.
 The siege lasted just over A hours and was very popular with the citi- zens, many of whom dropped in to have a chat with the rebels while it was in progress, The insurgents were under whitening fire until nightfall
 when an agreement between besiegers and besieged was arrived at, each
 party undertaking not to disturb the ! other during messtimes Sand sleeping hours.
 At eight o'clock the next morning
 serious business was resumed, and
 the rebel commander was so gravely incommoded by the noise and dust
 that he left the fort and, drove home
 in taxicab.
 Finally, in the afternoon, the 2S
 men who then survived, each carrying & fragment of the forts one uttered
 flag, threw the investing army into a
 panic by coming out and making q totally unexpected attack upon them It was the one heroic incident of the
 whole affair, and ended tragicaIly fol the attackers, all of whom were either killed or wounded after a two
 hours engagement, which must have been more like battle.
 Elsewhere the trouble was confined
 to the Military academy (where Ira 1 zils military knuts come from) An
 attack was led from this point on the
 garrison camp at the Villa Militar A number of officers left their posts,
 the n. c. O.'s took their places, a few
 shots were fired and the great coup d'etat was over. It was, as Geord1e
 Stephenson might have said, bad for the coup.

RainbowS Shaken.

It is usually supposed that the down. pour of rain that sometimes follows flash of lightning is due to the coa- lesence of fine drops on losing their electrical charge, but Finnish Oh- server concludes that the thunder jars the drops together. Near Vasa heavy thunderstorm came up from the east late one afternoon, and, as the sun was unclouded, a brilliant double rain bow appeared in the east for half an hour, arching from horizon to horizon. At each roll of thunder the rainbows seemed to be much shaken, the wedge being displaced and the colors blurred. This could not be due to the lightning, and it seemed that the same cause might enlarge the ,raindrops and dis turb the rainbow.

In a comprehensive review of this

devote some space to the profession

that of the modern funeral director

community possesses an efficient

generally is recognized as one OF the
most proficient and conscientious
men and this distinction is well mer-
tied, as the excellent service that lie
has rendered in the practice of the
profession will testify. It may be
truly said that no one in this section

In making this review of the on
ward progress of this section of the
state there is no institution more
worthy of extended mention than
these we'll known and justly popular
theatres. These are two of the truly
progressive theatres of this part of
our great state and be-
cause OF the high class productions
shown they enjoy large patronage
not only from the city, but from all
of the surrounding territory.
These are two of the truly popu-
lar theatres of this part of the east
ern states and because of the
high class production shown here they
have a large patronage not only
from the home city, but all surround
ing territory. Offering vaudeville and
photoplays which include in their cast
the worlds greatest stars, it is not
strange that these theatres have be-
come so popular and when to this you
add the fact that the manager has
made special efforts to secure only

This is time when the operation

unsettled condition of the produc

With the development of the ice
cream industry from its infancy only
a few years ago there have come
many and varied changes. The con-
test for supremacy was first devel-
oped along the line of furnishing ice
cream of any old kind, just so it was
sold at cheap price. This era has
passed away and the managers OF
this large industry are largely instru-
mental for this change in policy in
this part of the state.
Realizing that the public taste has
been developed to such an extent
that it had become epicurean relative
to ice cream they set about the es-
tablishment of an institution that was
