Served him right. It is said that Adcmral Schley has a very lame arm, the result of hand shaking during his swing around tbe circle. Advertising costs, one way or another. Gov. Durbin has appointed War ren Bigler of Wabash a member of th3 board of-trustees of Easthaven to succeed John V . Macy. lne ap pointment is an excellent one. If the remainder of the winter is not too severe the steel trust will be ab'e to keep the wolf from the door till spring. Its profits the past nine months foot up $34,779,293. Mayor Zimmerman has received a circular letter from tha chairman of the committee on public buildings in tbe house making inquiries as to Richmond's claims for a government building and as toa site for one. The letter simply indicates that this city is possibly considered in the eligible list. It would be well for our public spirited citizens to write our congressman and senators on the subject. The Republican state committee met at Indianapolis yesterday and e'.ected Wm, H. Whittaker secretary by a unanimous vote, and decided to hold the state convention on Wrdnesday and Thursday, April 23 and 24. Wayne county will be entitled to 34 delegates in the convention. A. C. Milliken of New Castle will be continued as private secretar$.,ioJ;lie chairman of the committee, Mr. KSoodricb. The committee is now f ullyorgamzecl and ready for business. , At the annual banquet of the Baltimore Merchants ard Manufacturers' association last night Lyman J. (rage delivered an address in which he stated that thisgovernment, after its war with Spain, which cost $500,000,000, had, after paying this enormous sum, a cash balance on hand of $46,000,000 greater than when the war was inaugurated. He referred to the relative credits of the various governments of the world to show that the United States led all of them. Evidently Uncle Sam can afford to throw bouquets to himself. Our attention has been called to tbe fact that tbe men at work on tie municipal light plant are paid off every Saturday night in a oack room of Kennepobl's saloon. We learn from the superintendent of tbe work that this is so. and that he alone is re possible for the fact. He says th payment of the hands at that place was begun by accident, it being convebient, and has continued up to the present time. Tbe arrangement should and probably will be discontinued. "Lead us cot into temptation" is a prayer the city can not afford to ignore. Senator Fairbanks has introduced a bill which recalls an interesting incident of Indiana war history. It provides that there shall be paid to Mrs. Marv A. Coulson of Sullivan. Ind., from the treasury of the United States the sum of $3,950. Mrs. Cou -son is the widow of Sewell Coulson who was a prominent lawyer during the civil war period. After Milligan, Horsey et al. had been tried for disloyalty and acquitted the United States officers that had arrested them were sued for false imprisonment. The burden of defending them fell on Lawyer Coulson and he was never paid for his services. His widow is now in very humble circumstances. A Cure For Lumbago W. C. William son, of Amherst, Va., says: "For more than a year I suffered from lumbago. I finally tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm and it gave me entire relief, which all other remedios had failed to do." Sold by A. G. Luken Jt Co. and W. H. Sud-hoff.

AMUSEMENTS.

The program to be given in the Musical club next Wednesday even ing will be under the direction of Mrs. Harry Downing, and will be similar to tbe one given by her last ver on the same subject Warner.

I be music or two scenes from Tannhauser will be given by Cain's orchestra and a chorus of twelve men. Miss Hattersley of Ft. Wayne, Mr. Braffett and Mr." Krone will be tbe soloists. THE ELKS MIKSTRELsJ. The second annual minstrelsy bv the Richmond Elks, at the Gennett last evening, was even better than the performance of a year ago. The boys have gotten used to it, and did everything better. The stage dressings are prettier and the costumes much improved. We don't wish to cast any reflections on the appear ance of the lower limbs of the E'ks, but honest, the bovs look lots better with them covered than they do with them in tights. They sing better, too. The opening perform wee shows the front seats filled with gentlemen in Lu:s XIV costumes of black velvet, and those on the raised seats in corresponding suits of divers colors, the entire stage draped from borders to footlights with lace. The effect is very pretty. The end mn are Lew Iliff, Fred Jay, Guy Robie, Harry Morrow, Paul McConlin, Harry Needham and F. S. Anderson.

That strain of suggestiveness which unfortunately has marked too many of the dramatic productions of late stasuns is conspicuously absent in Mark Twain's delightful work, 'Pudd'nhead Wilson," tbe drama'izd version of which will be seen in this city at an early date under the direction of Shipman Brothers. The comedy will be presented with an elaborateness of detail never before attempted by any travelling organization, and as the roles are in the hands of none but talented artists a rare presentation may well be anticipated. Mr. William S. Gill will play the title role. He has been in the production si ace tbe initial performance at the Herald Square theatre in New York. and time and a natural talent have qualified bim exceedingly well for the part he has in hand. An excellent company, including Elmer Buff ham, William Colvin, Miss Louise Ripley, and other artists, will also be with tbe Ship man Brothers' production. A dra matic treat is assured all theatergoers, and none can afford to miss it. Tbe play is filled with a teeming, heart-interesting action, which appeals to all classes of people and there should not be a vacant chair from pit

to dome on the occasion of 'Pudd'nhead V first visit to this city. Tues day, Feb, 4, at the Gennett theater. NEXT FRIDAY". A good beart-interest play that needs no advance booming will be presented at tue Gennett on the evening of the 7th. It is "Human Hearts," a me;odrama with an un oroken record of success for five seasons. Repetition each year has not injured its charm among the theater going masses. Like an old friend it is alwavs welcome. It is presented this season with a large ad adequate

company and special scenery. COMING. Both eye and ear are delighted by the Castle Square production of 'King Dodo." Bright faces, fiae voices, handsome costumes, rich scenery unite to matting an evening at the court of hL? merry majesty one of absolutely undivided enjoyment. Accouipanied by bis entire retinue, numbering sixty, "King Dodo" will arrive in this city and hold court at the Gennett, Feb 11. No lover of clean, bonest, melodious fun should miss seeing "King Dodo." OPERA SCENERY. Its Prod net inn Require Lata mt Work and I.ota of C Hah na Well. The public little rciilircs that liehind tbe s-e:ies of the t!eiro;t riit.-m jra House is a large uuil most iiniori;iiu factory running in full blaM. There is manufactured all tbe si-cnery. coslumen, jirojxTties ami mccha nical effects used in tbe elabor.-ite prmltietioiiH. Everything has to be most skillfully planned. When a revival of "The Magic Flute" was under consideration ami the exieuse of duiug it on an appropri ate scale was enured out. it was found that the curtain would rise on au ex penditm-e of something like .:.! a i. Have yon ever lieen in a scenic artist's studio? lie has no easel. Instead, he has a little model, an exact miniature of the house in which his scenery is to be set up. Here on a reduced scule he prepares models of the scenes whirh his painters tire to project on an enormously enlarged scale upon the canvas which hangs by the paint bridge. V.'Uen he has modeled his scene, he calls in the costumer ami the stage manager. S--nie artist and eostrmrr usually have put their heads together before getting to work and decided upon certain color schemes for the various scenes, but just that very morning the cost unit r may have seen a stunning bit of red which he wauls to introduce into his scheme, and s he tries to jeruade the s.-enic artist to change the coloring a little accordingly. Cosmopolitan. Anticipated the Permiaaion. Ministers have many in; cresting and amusing experiences. A local clergyman was engaged In conversation with a number of friends the other day. when each started telling stories of weddings he had performed. Oue of the party had this to offer: Some time ago a great big fellow, roughly dressed, and a wee mite of a young woman came to him. They had no witnesses, and. in fact, did not care to h;'' any. Nevertheless, a bridesmaid and groomsman were selected from the household, and the ceremony began. They had promised to love and obey and all the rest of the service, when the preacher announced. "Kiss the bride." The bridegroom, on bended knee, hesitated a little, tried to say something and couldn't. "Kiss the bride." said the pastor. "Why. parson. I did. afore I come here at all." replied the bridegroom, whose face had taken tbe color of a June rose. The witnesses burst forth in laughter, while the minister had all l? couhl do to retain the serious expression which he ahv;s wore when wedding peopie. I'ulmh News Tribune. Radio Aetlve $nhalanrr. Different solid bodies copper, platinum, lead, giass. was. paper, etc. become radio active when they are placed in a closed vessel along with one of thn radio active salts of barium or. still better, immersed In a s lution of such a salt. The induced radiation Is of the same character as that of the original salt its rays are deviated in the magnetic field. If a tule containing a gas under low pressure has a current of electricity passed through it. the gas becomes luminous when the pressure Is low enough, as is well known. Air at 33 millimeters pressure liecomes luminous when so treated, for example When a radio active substance is held near to such a tule. tbe luminosity begins at a higher pressure, which for air is 44 millimeters. The color of the light varies in the two cases. Xataral Featala Pea. "All woodsmen know, says Paul Martin in I-a Vie Seientiflque.

Colossal Profits of a New York Banking House. EICH KETTJE53 TOE THE PAKTJTEE 3I 1 Private Firm Cleared fl7.0O0.000 1 Last Tear Beyond Galas mm a I nit- ! ed Slain Steel lademrlter Senior! Partner's Snare Alone Intonated j to 73 Per Ceat of Carninua. j t On one of the news slips that ar left j intermittently during the day at almost all of the oCices of hankers and broker.In New York there appeared tbe other afternoon a paragraph substantially as follows, writes Holland, the 'regular correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, under the date of Jan. J3: "It is the understanding that one New York banking house earned during the year l'JUl profits aggregating $17.tH0.00U ex elusive of the profit that may come to this banking house as a member of the United States Steel Financial Cnder writing syndicate. This little paragraph is an echo of a report which is quite generally believed to be accurate and which has been in circulation in the Wall street district for some ten days or two weeks. The only difference between the nuprinted rumor and tbe brief uews paragraph circulated the other day Is that the report that circulated from mouth to mouth was more definite as to figures and as to tbe Identity of tbe banking bouse which compassed this unparalleled achievement. The earlier rKrt put tbe figure representing the profits at $17,000,000 and mentioned tbe name of the banking house which bad experienced this unparalleled good fortune. Tbe printed slip did no more than to hint at the partnership name of this banking company. Yet every oue associated the report with tbe pre-eminently active and organizing banking institution in New York city, whose chief and junior partners have had conspicuous part in various organizations and reorganizations in the past ten or twelve years. Tbe exclusion of the earnings of the United States Steel Underwriting syndicate from this estimate is probably due to the fact that, while this syndicate has lK"en practically liquidated, the po I disbanded and probably a larger irt if not all of the profits have been received, nevertheless tbe syndicate lias not been formally disbanded and its affairs permanently closed. Of course, tbe report has been the; main subject of discussion and of com- j parison with other great achievements in the way of rich earnings all through the financial district. It is said that these figures represent a reasonable Income ujmmi a capitalization of $.'500,000.000. so that, looking at the matter from fhis point of view, this banking lnstituIion stands relatively second to the "nited States Steel corporation itself, at least so far as capitalization Is concerned, if the partnership were to be capita lizt-d upon the basis of C per cent return. The report asserts that of these colossal earnings the senior partner received 75 per cent, one of his associates one-seventeenth, or in round numbers $1,000,000. and among the other associates or jnrflor partners $3,000,000 is to lf divided, making for each of them In the neighlorhood of $5(0.noo as their return for the year's business. JOCKO USED TOOTHBRUSH. How Animal Knew of Porpoae of Article Partially Explained. In a spirit of abandon David C. Walker, custodian of Lord's park. In Elgin. Ill- threw an old toothbrush into the monkey cage at the park tbe other afternoon. His astonishment became amazement when ou visiting the monkey cage he discovered the entire family of monkeys gathered around Jocko, the largest monkey iu the cage, who was in the act of vigorously applying tbe almost hairless brush to his irregular teeth and red gums to the amusement of the entire monkey p pn-1 lation. who chattered and gesticulated in a wild manner as Walker approach-1 ed. Custodian Walker said that the aspect of the monkey brushing its teeth was the most remarkable that has ever been brought to his notice in his long service as animal keeper and custodian of the park. He Is at a loss to account for the monkey's apparent knowledge of the usage to which a brush of this kind is ordinarily put. says the Chicago Inter Ocean, but offers the suggestion that the little animal might hart witnessed an operation in which a toothbrush is used on one of bis visits to the borne of the custodians at the park.

Toward the close of the struggle tleneral Joe Wheeler of Alabama had mounted his desk and was making remarks which members of tolh sides thought might end iu violence. -Several of his colleagues were

Mr. Reed's partisans were just as hot and crowded to the "weir to be ready If any muscle were needed. Coufusiou reigned In tbe entire body. "Uight in the thick of it Representative Martin of Texas made bis way to tbe steps leading to the speaker's seat and. lifting his coattails, showed to Mr. Reed the butt end of a revolver protruding from a hip pocket. "Do you want itr asked Martin. "Just then the little orator from Alabama, with clinched fist, shjuted at Mr. Reed: 'Your ruling Is the most damnable ever made In your chair. It is nothing short of revolution. It ought to bury you so deep that Gabriel's trumiet won't vaken you.' "Mr. 'Reed leaned over then and replied to Martin, with bis usual drawl: 'No. not yet. Tbe gentleman bas simply risen to a question of order and Is now staling It. Jaat Like the Kooti. "I'm from Euglaud." said tbe man on tbe car platform, addressing nobody in particular and apropos of nothing, "and I want to tell you people that we all are only a lot of rooks. Say. did you er watch a colony of rooka build their nests in the spring?" Everybody looked reflectively away. "Well. I'll tell you. First a rook picks up a stick and puts it In a-'s nest, then goes away after another one. When he's gone, another rook flies to his nest and steals the 6tick. When he gets back, he puts down the second stick for still another rook to steal and starts after the first stick. He doesn't find it. and when he gets back to his nest be finds the second stick gone, and he starts after that, scolding and swearing in rook fashion. "Fy this time the other thieves have been robled. too. and it only takes about three sticks to go around the community and get the whole blamed colony powwowing. Say. ain't that human nature?" Everybody looked reflectively away. New York Press. Ple Ansela on a Needle Polat. It Is related of the late rr. Robertson that on one occasion he was in the coin pa ny of . some theological students. They, fresh from the study of church history, were laughing together over tbe old scholastic question. How many angels are supjorted on the point of a needle? They were surprised when Dr. Robertson turned to them and said. "Well, how many do you think?" As no one answered he went on, with decision, "Well. I'll tell you five." And be Justified his answer with the following story: One very stormy night be was coming home late and noticed a light in the window of a room where he knew a poor woman lived whose husband wai at sea. lie wondered what kept her up so late and went to see. He found her hard at work sewing by her lamp, while her five rosy children were sound asleep beside her. "There." said Dr. Robertson, "was a needle supportinp five angels. A Tralalaar Incident.
