Advertlsiwt for 1889.
T e Mornino News is prepared to re
new expiring yearly advertising contracts
or mate new contracts at its usual low
rates for that class of business. Under this
system 'advertisers can secure a certain
amount of space in the paper, with the
privilege of changing the matter'from time
to time, as maybe agreed upon, at reduced
rates. They can thus keep their business
before the world at all seasons at a nominal
average expense. Newsp pers can afford
to make liberal concessions to cont ract ad
vertisers because of the regular and in
creesed business secured thereby.
A lew hundred dollars expended yearly
ill advertising will make an out-of-the-way
store a good stand for business, and give
the eaverttar a name among the ene-getic
and enterprising bu-iness mon of the city
aud put money in his pooxet. The success

Some of the congressmen who were not

their defeat very keenly. It is stated thau
no less than six seats tn the House have
been vacant since that holy reconvened
the last time, tbo members being reported
as suifering from melancholia incident to
their defeat.
It is reported for the third or fourth time

An Evil That Should B© Remedied.
Public sentiment in favor of a divorce
law for the whole country la steadily grow
ing itronger. The people in nearly all the
states recognize the fact that the divorce
evil ;s becoming a monstrous one, and that
i r it is not spe. diiv checked, incalculable
harm to society will result from it. The
number of divorces granted throughout the
country during a year is appalling, and the
woivt of it is it is increasing much faster
than the population.
< ’.ingress alone can legislate for the whole
country. It has not, however, authority to
enact a uniform divorce law. Before it
could do that, the federal constitution would
have to be amended, giving it the necessary
power. It would boa difficult thing to
secure an amendment of that kind. Some
of the states would oppose it because
they object to giving up any of tbei*
rights and privileges. En *ugh of them,
however, might l e induced to ratify it.
The only way to g.*t them to do it is to
;tart and keep nlive an agitation in favor
of a uniform divorce law. When public
sentiment clearly favors it, there will be no
greet difficulty ia getting the necessary
egi-la ion.
South Carolina is the only state which
does not recognize divorce. Her people dr
not seem to have any need for a divorce
law. They arc happier without it. If such
a law were to be enacted, however, there is
no doubt that hundreds, and perhaps
thousands, of her people would take ad
var tag© of it. They would suddenly find
ou‘ teat their marriage relations were not
happy. Dcmeetic troubles that are now
smoothed over and forgotten would become
the fruitful cause of separations. Families
would be broken up, and innocent children
would not only be deprived of a home, but
would too often be subjected to influence?
that would make wrecks of their live?.
It is sail* to pay that the div- rce laws of
no two states n re alike. In some it is difli
cult to get. a divorce. In others it can be
obtained without, trouble, and upon a very
slight pretext. In some of the states di
verged pc. sons are not permitted to marry
again. In ofcherr there is no such restriction.
Person* prohibited from marrying again by
the law s of the state ia which they obtained
their divorces remove to other states and
marry. They are t.htt< respectable mem
hers of society in one state and criminals in
another.
In all the states in which divorce is
permitted the dockets of the courts
are crowded with divorce The prin
cipals in tbrse cases are representatives of
all classes of society. A few of them, doubt
less,have good reasons for wanting their mat
rin.onial contracts annulled, but the groat
majority of them would be better off in
every resp ct if there was no way in which
they could secure a severance of the mar
riage relation.
The number of divorces is increasing so
rapidly that intelligent people who
are thinking of the matter, and who are
concerned about the welfare of society arc
alarmed. The marriage relation is the
fomwlatioii of society. Without it Christian
bomi* would not be possible, ami witho l t
such homes the christia . religion would
cease to be the power ihat it K In proportion
as respect for the married state declines,
the progree- of civilization is retarded.
The appeal for a uniform divorce law,
therefore, that would limit the causes for
divoiceand strip divorce of most of its
evils, is really au appeal for a retu-dy for
a malignant sore ficm which society is
suffering.
Sentences of the Rioters.
Judge Adams has imposed quite severe
sente- 5 ccs upon those of the Yamacraw
rioters who have been convicted. They are
not too severe, however. The crime of
which they were convict*d Isa very grave
one, and aw ift and severe punishment is
likely to have Li e effect of preventing it
from being committed soon again.
Interference with an officer in the dis
charge of his duty has not been re
garded at all times in this city as
serious an offense as it really is, and it
is not improbable that for that reas n
rough** both black and white, attack au offi
cer of the law almost as quickly as they do
one who wears no badge of autnority. Th
aim should be to create a wholesome re
rcot for the police so that when they apnea
upon a scene of disturbance there will be
manifested at once a disposition to yield to
them. v
Tb© x - amacraw rioters doubtless intended
to kill the policemen whom they attacked.
They ate guilty of two offenses—resisting
an officer and attempting to c >nnmr
murder. By the time they have served
their sentences they will be willing to
respect th© authority of those who preserve
the peace.
Some of the New York papers seem to
think that the travel to Florida this winter
will be very greatly decreased, on account
of the recent, yellow fever epidemic in Jack
sonville. They *av ticket agents on Broad
way are kept busy answering questions
about the Bermudas and Bahamas and
about Southern California. Why should
anybody remain away from Florida be
cause there was yellow fever in some parts
of the state laat summer? There is no fever
there now, and tourists would run no risk
whatever in going there. Florida is the
most pleasant and convenient point for
seekers after a warmer climate, and to re
main away for the reason indicated would
be absurd.
According to Private Secretary Halford,
Gen. Harrison is reading Washington
1 1 ring’s “Life of Washington,” aud will de
vote bis inaugural to a compreh© .sivo re
view of the nation’s history. When tl.e
K"nral gets to the ‘Life of Grover Ole e-
Una” he should tell Halford to keep the
public out, and then he should make a care
ful itudy of the book. Thera are a great
many things connected with Mr. Cleve
land’s official life that reflect credit on
American history.
A Detroit special says that the republican
friend* in that city of ex-Henator Jonoa, of
Florida, are takiug tepe to procure for him
an appointment under Gen. Harrison to
Rome foreign mission. Ex-Senator Jonee
and Gen. Harrison, it is stated, are warm
personal friendi. having become greatly
studied to each other while in the Senate.
The most remarkable thing connected with
this is that somebody has been found who
liked Gen. Hamon while he was a senator.
The Augusta Chronicle wants Judge
l.mory Hpeer to he made a member of Gen.
Hatrison’s ea’ Diet. Has the Chronicle
nsktd Judge Speer if he wants to go into
the cabinet? Perhaps be doesn't. He has a

ing four years’ duration. Besides, shout
the lam time Judge Hpeer was heard from
M Itk regard to politics, he protested that be
net a democrat.
Presbyterian Union.
There is not much probability that the
committees of the northern and southern
branches of the Presbyterian church,
which were appointed some time ago by
their respective synods to present a basis
uuon which the two branches could unite,
and which met in New York on Friday,
will reach an agreement. The only differ
ence between the northern and southern
Presbyterians relates to the admission of
colored people into the church. The north
ern Presbyterians are inclined to think that
a refusal to admit colored Presbyterians on
an equaiity with white members is incon
sistent with the principles of Christianity.
The southern Presbyterians contend that
they understand the color line question
much better than their brethren of the
north, and that they must be permitted to
settle it for themselves.
This matter was discussed at great length
in the last northern Presbyterian synod at
Philadelphia and the last southern one at
Baltimore. The difference between the
two, which cropped out in the discussions,
was very marked, ad both were firm in
maintaining their respective positions. The
northern Preabyterians are undoubtedly
sincere, but they cannot speak on the color
line question from a practical knowledge of
if. There is. no probability that the church
in the north will ever be invaded to any
great extent by colored peoplo. There are
very few colored people comparatively in
that section, aud lucre is no prospect t hat
tkoir number will b come sufficiently large
o arouse whatever prejudice there may ex
ist thero against them. The northern
Presbyterians, therefore, can iusist upon
what they consider the Christian view of
the question at issue without any fear that
hey will ever bo troubled with color line
complications.
The southern Presbyterians, on the other
hand, know that if they should agree to
unidn on the 1 asis that the northern Pres
byterians propose, they would have trouble
at once. The colored members, as they in
creased in numbers and wealth, would iu
sist upon privileges which the w.iite mem
bers would not grant. That, of course,
would destroy a’l harmony In the different
congregations. The church in the s uth,
instead of flourishing, would soon begin to
show signs of decay. The white people,
before they would consent, to a condition of
affairs wholly at variance with their feel
ings and desires, would abandon the church
altogether.
T o Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterians
all divided on questions connected with the
colored people, and they are likely to re
main divided a# long as the racs problem
h unsolved. If the northern Presbyterians
are really anxious for union with the south
ern Presbyterians, they will not insist tba
the southern branch of the church shall
receive colored members on an equal fo t
-ing with white members. As long as they
hold that position there will be no union.
Of course union on a basis satisfactory to
both would be beneficial to both. Oniy one
organization would thou be necessary, aud
all church work would be carried on under
one management. The e would at once be
a great reduction of expenses, ad, at the
ame time, an increase of force in building
up the church.
Wall Street Promoters.
Wail street is the home of the promoters.
There are hundreds of the n there. They
are ready to promote anything which prom
ises a handsome return on money irives ©<l
in it. Apparen ly they are philanthropise.
They show great anxiety to help so neboii .
or some section of country. They do not
about benofiting themselves. They
t alk only of promoting some o.ie elsTs in
erest. They buy railroads and consolidate
them in order to develop the country
through which the rotds run, and promote
the interests of the people thereof. They
■rm st ci co npanies t) promote new in
ventions, or to develop mines, manufactur
ing and agriculture. It turns out, however,
hat tneir chief object Lto promote their
>wu interests.
A few davs ago some of the Wall s reet
promoters concluded that they would pro
mote t o automatic cotton picker. It
seemed to them to lie a good thing, and
they thought they saw millions in it. The
l-iventors wanted $1,000,000 for it, and
tbo promoters were disposed to give it. The
automatic cotton picker did splendid work
on a smooth floor, it picked cotton, advan
tageously arranged fir it, in a way thar
made the hearts of the promoters glad.
They thought they saw a chance to aid the
south. They wanted to be sure they were
not mistaken, however, and so they sent
the machine to a cotton field in the south to
iiave it tested on the rough ground of a
cotton field. Alas! the rough grbund
knocked the hopes out of tho inventors and
promoters. There was a diurnal failure, and
now the promoters are looking for toms
hiug else to promote.
Superstitious pe pie are disposed to look
forward with dread to the coining year.
This is because the year opens with a total
eclipse, a thing which has not occurred be
fore on Jan. 1 in over 900 years, and winch
will nor occur again for 300 years; and 1 *■-
cause there will bo two solar eclipses during
t e year—an unusual, though not an unpre
cedented. occurrence. Considering those
things, they think there is no telling what
will happen before 1890. A good many
people who are not superstitious await the
events of the uew year with more or less
apprehension. Their reason is disconnected
with astrology. It is became a republican
administration will come into p wet- iu
1889, and republican admi-dstrations for
quite a number of years have not brought
good luck to the country.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Not Very Complimentary.
From the Boston Globe ( Dem.)
Gen. Harrison is said to he thinking of ap
pointing Mahone to a cabinet position. Ma
bono would certainly be a pretty correct repre

at nil complimentary to southern republicanism
to say so.

man or the donkey?
Bad News For Hay ©a
From the Boston Herald (Ind.)
There is some danger that the two houses of con
gr ss may not b ? able to agree on a bill establish
ing the department of agriculture, with a cabinet
minister at its head, in season for the planting
of next season’s crops. At present, however,
tfco worriment skeins to be chiefly confined to
the political agriculturists who sprinkle hayseed
in their hair only on special occasions.
A Little Goes a Long Way.
From the Richmond Dispatch (Dem.)
Some of the southern papers are discussing
the question of opening up iiio Indian territory
to negro settlement, with a view to segregating
the negroes from the whites of the south. The
princi]al objection to such a scheme is found in
the fact that the southern negroes wouldn’t
settle in the Indian territory, or any place else
where they would be segregated from tue south
ern whites. Every now and then we hear of an
exodus of southern negroes to some western
state, but in course of time all who can manage
to do so com© back home. A little experience
in segregation, or with the kindness of their
northern friends, goes a long way with the
southern negroes.

heard Mario, while she sang alone, whisper
so low that the words reached only her own
ears: “ Mia cara! Mia bella! Ama me! Io

explanations and refused to siug with him
again. t
Some days afterward, however, from the
wings she heard Mario sing the same duo, and
this time with a very ugly woman, who had
assumed the abandoned ro'e. Again did the
tenor fill in his “resis” with the same impas
sioned whispers— " Mia cara! Io t'adoro!" Then
she understood. The burning avowals were

A Weighty Matter.
From St. Nicholas.
I dreamt the whole thing out as I wa sleeping;
May I confide In you?
I spend my days in Availing and in weeping
For fear my dream come true.
I thought that witn no kindly word of warning.
No hint of coming trouble,
Some cause mysterious one awful morning
Made gravitation double.
The branches suapped from all the trees around
ine,
A fierce, terrific sound.
I fain would away. Alas! I found me
Fast fixed upon the ground.
The birds fell down like featnered stones from
heaven;
The sky was all bereft.
Ten houses were before; behind me, seven;
And not a house was left.
It rained, and every little drop doAvn rushing
Cut like a leaden ball.
The air grew deuser; pressing, strangling,
crushing.
I tottered i-o my fall.
And then awoke from out my fearful sleeping.
And now, what shall we do?
I spend my days in wailing and in weeping.
Might not my dream come true?
In the President's Private Car.
In public affairs women bad but slight, if any.
influence with President Grant, writes Charles
P. Grant in America. No kitchen cabinet
figured in either administrat ion. His considera
tion and kindness for the gentler sex, especially
for tbo.se in need, wan proverbial. By bis direc
tion many widows and daughters of confeder
ate leaders were kept in office. He treated
with chivalrous forbearance even those among
them who forgot all gratitude in denouncing
their benefactors. Learning while in Cairo that
the eldest daughter of Robert E. Lee was there,
he weut quietly and in a spirit of chivalry
worthy of this land of gallantry to nav respects
to the kinswoman of the general whom he bad
vanquished, but whom be bid treated with no
blest generosity. During Grant's Presidential
term a fussy woman entered a train bound from
Washington to New York. The only other oc
cupant of the elaborate coach in which she was
*eated was an unpretensio. h man who remained
silently smoking at the other end of the car.
She requested him in an impatient tone to de
sift from smoking, as it was “offensive. 1 " He
immediately opened the window and threw
away his cigar. When the conductor had ex
amined her ticket, that official said: “Madam,
this is the private car of tne Presi ent, who sits
yonder, and. unless you have his consent to re
main, I must ask you to take a chair in another
coich.”
Mr. Armour Enjoyed the Joke.
From the Chicago Times .
P. D. Armour, Chicago's millionaire meat
packer, loves to crack a joke once in a while
with his employes, and appreciates it all the
more should the mirth tables turn at his own
expense. He waN very much surprised the other
iy, however, when he wa- politely but firmly
told to vacate his own packing house.
“Come, come, 11 said the man in charge, sup
posing be wa- addressing a stranger, “no one is
allowed iu this department but those regularly
connected with the establishment. How did
you get i*i here, anyway. - '
“Well, if that is your rule, 1 guess 1 will have
to obey orders," replied Mr. Armour, at which
ue made a sudden ortak for the door
“Wno is that old fellow?" inquired the man
of authority of one of his employes, pointing
o the receding form of Mr. Armour.
“You mean the gentleman Mho just went
out?”
“Yes, him.' #
“Why. you numskull, that is Mr. Armour.”
“The devii you say. I just ordered him out
of here.”
A half hour later the man had occasion to
report to his employer.
“That was & nice trick you played on me”—
ailing him by name- said Mr. Armour, with a
merry twi.kle in his eye. “It has come to a
pretty state when a man gets the bounce from
ills own establishment.”
The bride Smiled.
From the Birmingham Age.
An amusing incident occurred at the union
depot yesterday afternoon, and furnished fun
for a large manlier of passengers. A rather
modest-looking groom arid his pretty bride were
-iiting delightfully close together, and were
going through some of those lovable little
antics which newly-married couples alone can
affect. Twd young nhm were sin lug just oppo
site waiting to welcome some sweetheart on the
lucovning train. The boys watc ied the caresses
of the couple lorawnile, but finally decided to
put a stop to it.
“Tom," said one of the young men to the
other, “when is your wife coming home?”
I hope,” replied the young man ad
dressed. *1 wish she would elope with some
one, or the train would run off a bridge with
her. By the way, when is your wife coming
borne?”
“Pretty soon. lam afraid. When she does, I
have a good mind to meet her at the depot with
aii ax and give her and that infernal kid ten
minutes to leave iu. A wife is a nuisance, any
wav.”
The young men kept up this nonsence for
half an hour, and tb loving couple knew that
all of the conversation was intruded for their
rars. It tickled the bride immensely, but the
groom got hotter and hotter, and finally called
one of the young men aside and threatened to
whip him. This had the effect of stilling the
fun permanently, aud the exultant groom
bravely put his arm around his treasure ami
hugged her until the train carried them away
,n their bridal tour.
How Laird Saved Hlmoeif.
From the New York Star.
Few congressmen who come to New York are
better known than James Laird of Nebraska.
When here he is a welcome visitor at the lea !-
ing clubs. l T pon a visit bore recently be was a
guest at me University C:ub, aud he t Id there
how he swed himself from losing a renomiua
tion toe >ngress four years ago.
He had tarried fh Washington until Mi thin a
few days of the convention. In the meantime,sev
eral opposing candidates had appeared. Laird
represented a cowboys' district. One of the
opposing candidates bad become exceedingly
popular with the gentlemanly "beef jabbers/'
who seemed to hold the balance of power.
Upon his arrival, however, laird started out
for one of the round ups. The cowboys change
a good deal during each year, and laird found
that about half of them were strang -rs to him.
He was dressed in the latest style, and the
strange cowboy* ooncluded that he whs a dude.
Among others who shared in this belief was a
cattle i.erder who had lately arr.ved from
Texas, lie made all sorts of fun of the con
gressman, aud fine ly lx*came offensive.
Laird resented this treatment, and challenged
the man to a duel. It was arranged that they
stand otT 100 yarris and exchange shots at ear'll
other with pistols. The cowboy fired first, and
the three shots be aimed at the statesman
miaseJ the murk. Thou loiir I prepared to fire.
* Now,” said the congressman, “I will not try
to kill you upon the first shot, but 1 will try to
send a bullet through the crown of your hat.*"
He did Just is he said and then coolly re
marked to the now trembling cowboy that the
next bullet would pierce his right eye. Before
he had tune to carry out what he bad said, the
cowboy begged fo mercy.
"I took yon for a dude, but you have proved
yourself a thoroughbred,” exclaimed the cow
puncher.
"1 M ill let you off.*' *ad I air.!, “provid 'd ilia*
you wid not treat the next well-dressed man
you nisei aa a dude,”
The fellow promis'd: and tbs incident tuade
the cowboy* solid for Laird

The yearly income o* the great Kimberly

An English steamer, the Arcadia, easily
made the round trip, from London to Bombay
—13,189 miles—in forty-seven days, rive days,
too, were lost in unloading at Bombay and sev
eral stops were made at ports on the way home.
There are so many candidates in the flell for
the postmastership of Corinna, Me., that the
people have decided to vote on the matter at a
town meeting. The candidate receiving the
most votes will be recommended for the ap
pointment.
The foundations of a church in San IJns,
Cal., have been shifted seven inches by the roots

The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette says: It
is pretty tiresome to spend $4,000 or so in drill
ing a well for natural gas and then getting only
salt water, but it is positively fatiguing to lie
sued for $48,000 damages iu addition for the
salt water contaminating all the fresh-water
wells in the neighborhood, aud yet that is what
happened yesterday to the Chartiers Valley
Natural Gas company.
Connecticut coons have many peculiar traits,
but Meriden has perhaps the only pair that are
not prohibitionists. James H. Kenny owns
them. Their love for beer is so strong that they
will drink nothing else Like many other
topers, they are unable to realize when they
have had enough. They get boiling drunk at
oveiy opportunity, and usually end their sprees
in savage fights. Neither will drink boar breM-ed
in Connecticut. Tney drink New York or Mil
waukee beer, but their greatest delight is in
Culmbacher.
A prominent resident of Chaplin, Conn ,
who is extravagantly fond of fox hunting,
started out on a bitterly cold day and. arriving
at the edge of the woods containing
the coveted game, ho started his
hound on the trail. The faithful animal
caught the scent instantly and bounded
away, and in a few moments was lost from sight.
Tbe owner waited patiently until utterly be
numbed by the cold, he crept back to his wagon,
where he found the noble hound snugly
ensconced beneath the buffalo robe, sound
asleep.
There is only one physician to every 6,500 of
the population in Russia, and yet the destitu
tion among members of the profession is said
to be alarm ng. Of late there have been num
bers of suicides of medical meu who were with
out the bare uecessites of life. This state of
things is attributed to the ignorance of the peo
ple, who consult sooth-sayers and magicians in
preference to educated medical men. Men Mho
have served in the ambulance corps or as h< s
pital attendants, aud thus gained a smattering
of medical knowledge, are allowed to practice,
which is another drawback to the profession.
“The annual exhibition of the Photographic
Society of Great Britain did not bring forward
any startling novelty, either in the way of ap
paratus or process,” says Chambers' Jour
nal. “But there was indicated by the pictures
hung on the walls the wide acceptance bv
photographers of the comparatively new
method of printing in salts of platinum instea 1
of those in silver. Platinum gives a black-toned
picture with a dull surface, which Is far more
artistic than the brown and purple tones with
shiny surface which is associated with g'lvcr
printing. Tne platinum has the further merit
of a solute permanency, so that it takes away
from the photographic image its old reproach
of being apt to fade. A recent modification ii
the plat inum process has made its prac ice far
more simple th n it used to be, and this circum
stance, coupled with the advantages just
pointed out, will Ixs sure to increase its vota
ries.”
The following story illustrates how much
mice love their tails: In Norwich, Conn., the
other night, a young lady set a mousetrap in
her parlor -a trap that was like a diminutive
railroad round house, with arched doorways,
and with a delicate little loop of steel under
each doorslll to fly up and catch a mouse by the
muzzle. The steel nooses snapped busily all
night, and the next morning the lady found five
mice clinging in five of tbe inhospitable door
ways, and what was very mysterious to her,
three long mouse tails hanging from the tbre<-
other entrances. She puzzled her head long
over tbe inscrutable problem. Why did three
mice visit her trap overnight and deliberately
leave th* ir tails behind Jheru? But there was
no answer to it. Avery bright idea, however,
flashed into, her mind, and she set her trap
again. Verily, the three tailless mice came
back to recover their tails, and in the gray
dawn of the following day the young lady
found three tailless mice dangling from the
trap.
An inexplicable freak was that of a Leba
non, Conn., bacielor, Mr. Loomer, who dwells
in a big house on a big farm, keeping a maid of
all work, who has a beau whom the farmer does
not like. Mr. Loomer, a few days ago became
convinced that, the maid aud ner sweetheart
M ere scheming to rob him of his wealth, which
consisted of a $lO bill, besides his real estate,
and, to thwart their designs, he couiferted the
greenback into ten silver dollars. M’hich he sewed
into a bag. and the bag he furtively buried a:
dead of uight by lantern light, spading a deep
hole in his yard, and smoothing down the turf
above tbe hiding place after he had deposited
his treasure therein. He carefully 1 the
spot “it is so many feet.” he reflected, “from
the corner of the ell, anti at the junction of twu
imaginary lin • - from t e horse stable and the
southeast corner of the well-curb” —and then
ho went hack to bed. Iu that same night a
heavy rain washed out all trace of his digging,
and. a.- the farmer cannot now conciliate th-
M-011-curb and stable lines into a clue, he has
thus far searched iu vain for his bank.
The kiwi is the sole remnant of the wonder
ful race of wingless birds that once roamed a 1
over New Zealand, the gigantic skeletons of
some of which have been found in such num
bers that almost every museum in the world
posseses one or moro of them. Thb kiwi is
about the size of a part ridge, has a rather long
neck and a curious bill about four incties in
length. IU Mings are quit# undeveloped and
Its feathers have a sort of unfinished character,
winch may bo supposed to represent nature's
early efforts in that direction, before the close,
rich plumage of the modern bird was "evolved. “
Wanting the means flight, the kiwi has been
only too rapidly exterminated, and with it
also have gone, or nearly gone, all the other
feathered denizens of the woods. The invasion
of their haunts by the white inan is not the sole
cause of this. Equally potent, pen taps more
mo. baa been tbe Introduction of Koglis i birds.
The linnet, the sparrow, tue cliafll'u had the
finish have driven away the more timid and
delicate native birds. This is the case more or
less throughout New Zealand where the white
population has found its wuy.
Jake Kilrain and Charlie Mitchell tried in
Chicago the other day much the same game
that Offenbach played in this country
during his concert tour. Threatened with
arrest if he gave his opera music on Sunday,
the happy idea entered the Frenchman's head
of presenting “1a Belle Helen-'” and “La .lolie
Parfumeuse l as sacred concerts. No objection
was raised, and the religious people of Chicago
and Cincinnati thus enjoyed their Offenbach on
Sunday. Kilrain and Mitchell, fearing that If
they gave glove exhibitions they would be
stopped by the police, announced that their dis
plays were educational -an exhibition of the
Delsartian theory of movement and physical
culture. Taey appealed to the courts and
actually got an injunction restraining the police
from interfering- with them. The court, how
ever, after examining the matter, came to the
conclusion that, judged by the exhibition at the
casino, there was not much difference between
the Delsartian and Marnuis of (Jueensberry
theories and dissolved the injunction. The
|M>lieo started for Kilrain nncl Mitchell with war
rants for them, but they heard of it and
skipped out of town in time to Avoid arrest.
