Notes of the Mniso. The Park Theater is not equal to the .demand's mad. on it for seats so far this week of heavy theatrical bu-iress. At the daily matinees onlv live rows of seats are reserved, and thu persons that wish to see th" brilliant "Superba" in the afternoon have equal tihano?. The show at the F.mpire Theater every afternoon and evening i f'Hl of new and well-ung music. Mile. Dika. who leads the chorus, is or.c of the cleverest women on the varletv stage, and the French souk sketch bv Mile. Dikl and her husband, M. Paula, Is unusually bright. XXX The vaudeville bill at the Grand Opera House averages well and fulfills the purpose of oiWirg wide variety. The acts rane from a troupe of trained cats to two humorous playlets, and include a contortionist, a team of musicians, an operatic singer and a monologuist. x x The first matinee of "Are You a Mason?' will be given this afternoon at English's Opera House, and there will be another Saturday. John C Rice and Sally Cohen, who is Mrs. Rice, have not been in this city for several years preceding their present visit as members of the "Are You a Mason?" company. Mr. Rice's easy manner and his cleverness at natural acting make him valuable for the present purpose. Tri smoothness of his conversation with Iyo Ditrichstein early In the first act of the piece is one of the best blta of the performance. Miss Cohen has the part of the impertinent cook, and though her chance is slight she makes it a sprightly feature of the entertainment. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

Aftr you were well inside the show was full in view, but there we re peep shows, refreshment booths and "Aunt Nancys"' plenty of them to beguile other unwary .limes and nlekles. Among the freaks was the giant costumed like a Chinese, whose 11 sure was. of course, attained by stilts; the fat woman, rendered corpulent by rubber air cushion-; the sawed-off man. whose lower half was out of exidenee thiough a .lever arrangement of mirrors; the Siamese twin, two gay glrN with torments se."d together; the dog-faced man. Xho wore a fa!o face; dwarfs, savages, et.-. The audience walked through th room lauliiüg and tlnrtlus the "freaks." who

were not behindhand In returning the badinage, and thu adding to the fun. Then there were the peep shows, which one could enter on payment of cents. Many of these shows were "sells" pure and simple the patron finding that he hail paid his money for a lauKh .against himself. Thus, one show was labeled outside. "The diving merma'd." When you entered the recess curtained off you found n wash tub and a placard, saying: "She has just gone under water." "The man with his feet where his head ought to Ik-" was found seated with both feet in his hat. "The woman with three heads" was seated with three heads of cabbage in her arm. The "flower of the family" was discovered in a flour barrel, and so th" absurdities went on. Each person entering one of the shows was requested by a placard, prominentlv placed.

not to "tell the next person about It," and as th "selling" was for sweet charity's sake the request was faithfully observed. C'rnl Apple .Jelly. Wash the fruit, remove the scales, cut in halves or quarters to be sure the fruit is sound, but do not pare nor remove the cores. Put into a preserving kettle and barely cover with cold water. Let boil, stlrrir.g frequently, and mash it as it softens. Lay a large square of cheesecloth over a bowl and turn In the fruit. Tie the corners together and suspend It over the bowl until all the juice has dripped through. Do not squeeze the fruit, and If you wish the jelly to be perfectly clear let the juice stand until the next day; then pour it off carefully from the sediment. Measure the juice, and if very sour allow an equal measure of sugar; otherwise one-fourth less sugar will be sufficient. Let the juice boll from five to twenty minutes, or until it thickens around the edge. The time will vary with the amount of water In the apples; therefore watch it closely and test it frequently. Remove any scum that rises, then add the sugar. Jt it boil up once, skim, and. when it has boiled live minutes, turn it into the glasses. Next day cover with paper or pa ratline. Smart "Women of Seventy. Washington Star. In the government offices In Washington probably .15 per cent, of the female employes are past middle life, and 2G per cent, are over fifty years of age. There are hundreds of women in the departments over seventy years of age earning from $:"0 to Jl.t"0 and Jl.Go) a year. In no other field of labor are positions paying such very high salaries opened to be tilled by women of seventy grandmothers, in fact. During the past seventeen years 2,014 women have entered the service of the government in Washington through the means of the competitive examinations of the civil service alone. In the civil service there are no !ess than fifty-seven different examinations which are open to women. One-third of the entire force of the government in Washington is composed of women. A lilt of Home Decoration. Philadelphia Telegraph. It has been one of the fads of the summer to paint gas globes preparatory to refitting the town houses for the winter seasun. There arc many young girls who have taken up this occupation with the deepest interest, and each one is trying to excel the others in tho choice of flowers, leaves and ferns with which to decorate their globes. One of these young girls lought at a large department store one dozen perfectly plain glass globes. She first colored them in a pale shade of pink; on this background she painted a lovely scattered wreath of sweet peas and leaves. When they were finished the effect of tho light through the pink was most attractive and becoming. The fad Is increasing every day, and before the winter season begins these globes will be seen in many houses. WAITING FOR THE CZAR thanci: o. the qii vivk at Klltlv TOR HER ALLY. I.oultet Travel from Inri Throng;! n I-nne of Soldler Preliminary Feten f;o Off , Without a SiiiKle Hitch. DUNKIRK, France, Sept. 17.-Presidnt Loubet, accompanied by M. Waldeck-Rous-seau, the premier, and M. Delcasse, the minister for foreign affairs, arrived this afternoon in Dunkirk, on his way to receive Emperor Nicholas. He was welcomed by large crowds and cordially received. Speaking In the new town hall, which he formally opened, M. Loubet said: "I am happy to come here to welcome the faithful ally of France. We are unanimous in seeing in an ever-closer rapproachement of the two countries a guarantee of safety and greatness." The preliminary festivities In connection with the Czar's visit have passed off without any untoward incident. Every item in the programme has been carried through with perfect success. The weather, however, has been atrocious. From the time M. ioubet left Paris until he reached Dunkirk the rain fell pitilessly. Fortunately, the downpour ceased soon after his arrival, though the wind and cloudy sky promise unpropitious weather for the fete to-morrow. The most striking feature of to-day's journey consisted of a full dress seheasal of the mlltary precautions on a portion of the railway which Emperor Nicholas will traverse to-morrow afternoon between Doual and Dunkirk. The track was guarded on eacli side by soldiers stationed with fixed bayonets, at intervals of 250 yards in sparsely populated districts. Every station was garrisoned with troops. Every level crossing, even in the open country, was cordoned by the military. It was an object lesson for those who question the discipline of the French army to witness to-day's spectacle from the presidential train. In the midst of fields, sometimes without a solitary habitation In sight, there stood, motionless, a soldier in full war equipment, drenched to the skin, closely watching the approaches of the track until the train whisked by. when he brougt his rifle to salute. Mounted gendarmes were also requisitioned, and with drawn sabers they, tu. saluted. it is a noteworthy fact as illustrating the importance which the French government attaches to American opinion at the present time that of the few foreigners among the journalists permitted to accompany the President and Czar, one is an American. M. Loubet only stopped at Arras, where a reception was organized by the local authorities. Dunkirk made an exceptional effort in the way of decoration. The whole route traversed by President Loubet was profusely hung with French and Russian flags. Triumphal arches were erected and myriads of Chinese lanterns were festooned across the streets. The rain played havoc with the decorations and thousands of li.ntern were demolished. Nevertheless, the displav to-night was very pretty. All the public buildings nnd many private resioenees were illuminated with electric lamps. After opening the town hall M. Loubet made a tour of the docks, where he was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm. A banquet and the prefecture ball in the town concluded the fetes of the day. Thousands o( spectators proceeded during the evening to St. Malo bs Rains to witness the Illumination of the fleet from tlie sea promenade. The French war ships, anchored in two lines, were brilliantly lighted with electricity and twenty powerlul search lights played over the sands and docks. Con I HoitiiiK' Knttliteer.

BRYAN SPEAKS AGAIN aothi:r TitiiitTi: to tiik i.ati; PRESIDENT M'Kl.M.EV. Ileartn of seventy-I'l ve Million People .Melteil by the "Damnable Murder" Note from All Lnndn. ROSTON, Sept. 17. A tribute entitled "William McKinley An Appreciation." written by Secretary John D. Long, was given prominence in to-day's Transcript. In part it says: "President McKinley, of blessed life, is now, and more and more as time goes on will be of blessed memory. The asperities which afllct a public servant during his official career will quickly he forgotten; and the calm, just verdict of history will pronounce him a man of ideally pure, true character, a patriot of single and disinterested devotion to his country, and a statesman unexcelled for tact, prudence and practical competency. Ills domestic life is one of the precious sanctities of American sentiment. As an executive his administration has been a series of remarkable achievements. It has been attended by great military success, by an abounding prosperity. It has put out the last embers of sectional bitterness. It has been marked by appointments of high character and especial fltness to places of great trust. The tone of public official life, the efficiency of the civil service, the integrity and fidelity of all departments and branches of the executive government were never so high as to-day. "President McKinley leaves an xmblemished record in public and in private life. And a record not only free from blemish, but bright with good deeds done, with great services rendered." nil VAN'S LATKST THIHl'TK. Murder of President McKinley Has Shocked the Whole World. LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 17. A tribute from W. J. Brjan to the dead President was given to the Associated Press to-day. Quoting the words of Major McKinley, "God's will, not ours, be done," Mr. Bryan recalled the pathetic scenes at the deathbed and continued: "The terrible deed at Buffalo, rudely breaking the ties of family and friendship and horrifying every patriotic citizen, crowns a most extraordinary life with a halo that cannot but exalt its victim's place in history. His bravery during the trying ordeal, his forgiving spirit and his fortitude in the final hours, give glimpses of his Inner life which nothing less tragic could have revealed. "Rut inexpressibly sad as is the death of McKinley, the illustrious cltlien, it is the damnable murder of McKinley, the President, that melts seventy-five million hearts into one and bring a hush to the farm, the factory and the forum. Death is the inevitable incident of every human career. It despises the sword and shield of the warrior and laughs at the precautions suggested by science. Wealth cannot build walls high enough or thick enough to shut it out. and no house is humble enough to escape its visitation. Even love, the most potent force known to man: love, the characteristic which links the human to the divine; even love is powerless in Its presence. Its contingency is recognized in the marriage vow, 'until death us do part. and is written upon friendship's ring. But the death, even when produced by natural causes, of a public servant, charged with the tremendous responsibilities which press tipon a Iresldent, shocks the entire country and Is infinitely multiplied when the circumstances attending constitute an attack upon the government Itself. No one can estimate the far-reaching effect of such an act as that which now casts a gloom over our land. It slu-mes America in the eyes of the world, it impairs her moral prestige and gives enemies of free government a chance to mock at her and it excites an indignation which, while righteous in itself, may lead to acts which will partake of the spirit of lawlessness. As the President's death overwhelms all in sorrow, so It Imposes a common responsibility, namely, to so avenge the wrong done to the President, his family and the country as to make the executive life secure." MnJ. fien. Corbln Cried. VICTORIA. B. C, Sept. 17. On the steamer Empress of India, which arrived to-day from the Orient, was Maj. den. Henry C. Corbin, of the United States army, returning home from the Philippines. It was not until the liner was tying up at Williamshead quarantine station that General Corbin was made awarer of the assassination of President McKinley. As the details were conveyed on board by the Victoria papers the frame of the soldier trembled with emotion and soon the tears were rolling down his cheeks. He said the news had come upon him with such suddenness he was too prostrated to speak. MEMORIAL NOTKS. Action of Individual and Public Rotlles at Home nud Abroad.

To antiquarians there are few more fascinating exhibitions than those of the Egypt Exploration Fund, which it has been the custom for some years past to hold throughout the month of July at University College, Gower street. It is safe to predict, however, that the display to be opened to-day will attract a wider interest, especially among ladies, than any that has previously taken place, for the patient researches carried on during the past season have brought to light by far the oldest examples of jewelry known to exist, and the specimens of the goldsmiths' craft to be seen are many hundreds of years earlier than any previously found. The investigations of lSMMtoo placed Egyptologists in possession of fidl knowledge, not only of the kings of "the tir3t dynasty, approximately 471." to 4."d4 R. C, but revealed also many mysteries of an even dimmer and more distant past connected with "the ten kings before Menes." These latest researches have thrown much fuller light upon the prehistoric period, and Mr. Madver, who has explored two large cemeteries at El Amrah. Is able to state that one of them, belonging to the lirst half of that remote age, and the second, extending from the earliest days down to the first dynasty, bridge an interval concerning which there has hitherto been only the most shadowy speculation. As usual at these exhibitions a clear and concise catalogue is available, and the least learned is enabled to enjoy intelligently these wondrous relics that time has spared. So precious, however, are the bracelets found on the mummy of the Queen of Zer at El Mehesna that the authorities of the museum at Cairo would not permit them to he brought to England, and the lxmdon visitor must rest with exact models of them. There are four In all. the first consisting of a row of facades with the royal hawk alternately of gold and turquoise. The second has a gold centerpiece copied from tlie center of a lotus flower, having on each side a group of turquoises and a large ball amethyst. Who shall, indeed, tell the true story of a queen's love, for cunningly interwoven into the back are strands of humai: hair and gold thread, set with turquoise and amethyst? The third is of gold, lapis lazuli, and turquoise beads, and the last is of hour-glass-shaped gold and amethyst beads. Expert examination has been made of them and proves that each bead had its particu lar place In the scheme, and that the solderlng of the" gold Is technically perrect, showing no trace of excess or difference of color. But if these are only facsimiles, there are other trear-ures hardly less marvelous which are the actual objects. There Is the scepter that was the symbol of King Khasekhemul's might and majesty a slender copper rod, over which pieced cylinders of sard or cornelian have been strung beadwise, united by broad and heavy gold bands. Looking at It one could not fall to recall that some thousands of years later the sardlus found place in the first row of stones of the breast plate of Aaron, the high priest. Five exquisite little vases In polished cornelian and dolomite marble, with lids of hammered gold, Trom the same monarch's tomb, are polished and dainty ns when they were made, though every event recorded in human history has taken place since they left their artificer's hands. And hardly less remarkable are the El Amrah discoveries of prehistoric pottery, dolls with curly black hair, and rude models in clay of oxen and other animals. P needed, perhaps, only one other discovery to link the eternal truth with today, and that was found in the tomb of a young girl, probably a daughter of Metia. the founder of Memphis, whose simple inscription ran that she was "Sweet in heart." No woman could desire a more beautiful epitaph, to endure for over 6.000 years. Vases in pottery and alabaster, graceful of form and s-hapc. are abundant, and there are strings of bonds that will send modern collectors almost frantic with envious desire of possession. Coming down to a rather later day are some noteworthy blue glazM cups of lotus-like form. The excavations at Abydos and the district are now practically complete, and a fact that makes the discoveries which form this remarkable exhibition yet more notable is that the ground had !cen examined before. in concluding his report Prof. Flinders Petrie draws attention to the careless manner in which previous explorations were carried on, and comments on "the large amount of material and the most important history which had leen cast aside in the ordinary mode of working a site, which was then pronounced 'exhausted.' we see the absolute necessity of systematic work with trained workmen encouraged by rewards to observe and take care or all that can be found.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. -The opening of the doors of the rotunda of the Capitol to-day, in order to permit an inspection of the remains ot President McKinley, caused a rush of the vast throng that had been congregated on the east sii!e of the building since early morning. The result was that many women and children were badly hurt. The crowd brushed by the pollc cordon stationed at the foot of the steps, as if it had been chaff. A Uerrible congetion on the Capitol steps, and at the entrance door followed. At the latter point there was such extreme pressure that numbers of women fainted. Many who thu became helpless was lifted up ImmIII.v and tarried out over the heads' of the throng, while others, less fortunate., were trampled under foot and seriously bruised. Of the latter twelve or III teen w.crc taken into the Capitol. Tne room immediately under the rotunda, where the President's remaiivs lay in calm and peaceful : repose, was a temporary hospital, tilled with dekened women, lying prone on improvised couches. One of them had a broken arm and another had suifered internal Injurie, which caused excruciating pain. The oflh'o of the captain of police also was used to accommodate the Injured, as were several other places about the building. Fully one hundred women and children were injure to some extent. The crush at the east frr,nt of the Capitol began at 11 o'clock. A quad of representatives of several veteran organizations had just left the parade and marched toward the Capitol Immediately after the casket had been borne into the rotunda. This started a slight movement in the front of the crowd. Several iersons rai others followed, and a V-hhajed wedge, point foremost was soon going with considerable momentum toward the soutn. The crowds on the .pposite side followe! suit and thousands of people were soon on the run. Five mounted orderlies were caught in the rush. One policeman was tmshed through a window. Another poller ian was forced ui) five steps on his horse, it was impossible to push the crowd back, and it was worse after 1 o'clock. Of the injured thirty-two were treated at the- hospital and removed to their homes in the police wagons. In addition twenty-fix e were sent home in private carriages Forty were treated at the Capitol and e-ght case were sent to the Casualty Hospital. Mot of those treated were suffering Irom fainting spells, but a considerable number were trampled on and badly hurt. No one wa fatally Injured. KGETATION MOPIFM.I).

"I have been giving som study to th question of affording better protection to the vegetation of cities," said a local botanist several days ago. ";ind as a. renult 1 have found myself out wn deep water, but still with a rather IntetesMng series of fads to deal with. At first 1 bad no id" where the line of thought would lead m, ami when I legan to figure -on the various ir fiuences which tend to arrest the growth of vegetation In tlu citie-x they simply multiplied with startling rapidity. My own observations have 'onvine-dT me that thes irdluences not infrequently ; give birth to a flora so much at variance' with the original as to make a new classification necessary. Rut 1 have not tracd thee differences with sufficient precision yet to giv out a scientific opinion, but, 1 have formulated in a crude way the various influences which affect In h marked degree tha vegetable growth of the aerage city. In the first place there is the r.iatter of noisa in all its forms, and the vibratory rumblings which go with the Various activities of an augmented population. Flower need sleep. Trees sleep. All form of vegetable life must at regularlj recurring intervals lie allowed to lapse Into a condition of rejHse. else som radical charga will take plate in the fornr of the plant. But noise Is not the only disturbing element, so far as the restful condition of flowers and plants is concerned. Light is no inconsiderable factor. Plants and Towers, und all kinds of vegetation sleep bet away from the glare. So the lights of tho city, which blind all through the nlht. must contribute somewhat Ito this interference with vegetable sleep. Dust and smoke and other things that fill the air unquestionably have considers! !e influence on vegetation in the titles, liectrlclty, lndepeiident of its use for lighting purposes, has a bad effect on city vegetation. Tha overcharged condition of the earth because of the electrical currents that ara constantly finding thfir war la( k to th lolnt of generation canuo be healthy troni a viewpoint of vegrtation. The construction of large buildings interferes with, the natural flow of air currents, and tho plant of a city are. In a measure, smothered because of a lack of ptjper and nati nral ventilation. The flower loves and crave the kiss of the brer re The joints ot the ouk must be loosened l,y the heavier blasts. The dead leave mtm !e blown away in order to facilitate the growth of? the bud and the twig. Dead -bark must b shaken from ihe limbs and tl e trunk in order to Insure u healthy growth. I might go on and multiply then lntruence Indefinitely, but it Is riot necessarV. Every mn Jus observed the effect, for'we hae sear the toughest of plants, plant as hardy as the oak. wither and die In-title on account of thee rrv influence, and tha matter at least affords a Vant field for t-otanlc speculation, and. as 'peculation 1 the forerunner of solid, logical, philosaphlc deduction, much good ny gtow out of the musing."
