Its mission is believed. to be the destruction of Richard Croker and the Republican party. Mrs, Casey Mrs. Horas: ME: QUAY is the very king of fighters, and something is due to him for his tireless energy and capacity. The Almig said to hate a quitter, and the opposite of that kind of man is entitled to admiration, NERAL MOLINEUX complains with good reason of the long delay in his son’s case; but there is something in the fact that the evidence in the case as it will be given in the appeal goes to the printer at the cost of nine thousand dollars. Then, too, suppose there had been no delay after the sentence! A WOMAN in Wichita, Kansas, has destroyed a saloon, emptying its liquids in the gutter, and has gone to jail for twenty-one days for it She says she wants to attract attention to the violation of law in that town, and she probably won't be disappointed if she gains national notoriety solely to her noisy and extremely talkative self, FECT BREEDING. *Begorrah! thot Mrs. Grogan is a perfect She be thot.

Probably it resulted from the law-and-order mass-meet- ing held there on that date, at which Bishop Potter of New York spoke and exhorted the Philadelphians to get a move on. GUAM. QUE UNITED STATES authorities in the Philippines have adopted the policy of exiling the most troublesome of the Filipino rebel lead- ers to the island of Guam, If this policy could only be made general and begin at home, how heartily we should appreciate Guam! THE POOR PLAYER. NE OF THE principals of a traveling theatrical company telegraphed New-year's greetings to the Dramatic llirror as follows: “ Our Happy new year: Train, six-thirty a.m.; matinée, two p.m.; night, eight p.m.; train, cleven-thirty p.m. Hooray!" And yet some uncharitable people reproach the poor player for not being more domesticated. JUDGE'S OWL FTER SAINT GABRIEL'S CHURCH, in New Rochelle, had been robbed seven times the good priests put in an electric burglar-alarm, connecting it with the rectory. The other evening this alarm rang lustily, and all available forces were rushed to the church in hope of head- ing off the thief; but everything seemed all right, the place having not been entered. Then a big owl was seen to fly off the connecting wire, and the mystery was explained. The night-prowler’s weight had caused the alarm- wire to sag down and touch another live wire, hence the confusion. We suspect this feath- ered humorist must have been JUDGE'S owl —the one which habitually perches on the right arm of his honor’s editorial chair to counterbalance the bauble in his left hand. STAGELAND PHE- NOMENA. HE HIGH DEGREE of picturesque claborateness and realism to which we have become accustomed on the modern stage makes occasional lapses the more noticeable, At one of the current Bernhardt- Coquelin performances a large look- ing-glass over a mantel at back centre was represented by transparent gauze, so that the audience could see right through it and behind the scenes, like " Alice in Wonderland.” ‘The accomplished and observant musical critic of the New York Times, ater paying enthusiastic tribute to a presentation of * Faust,” in which Melba and the De Reszkes participated, remarks plain- tively, “ The other features of the performance were too familiar to call for comment, though it should be noted that the moonlight, as usual, came long before the moon and from another direction. HIS NAME WAS DENNIS. ARCE-COMEDY is uppermost, at present writing, in the celebrated Cudahy kidnapping case, though elements of tragedy lurk very near to the surface. The other day, while the real malefactors were in Omaha threatening Mr. Cudahy with death unless he should withdraw the rewards offered {or their capture, the Nebraska deputy sheriffs on the case were engaged, with ardor and six-shooters, in chasing over the prairie after one Dennis of Boston, whose identity they had got mixed up with that of the suspected arch-kidnapper, Pat Crowe, Dennis, who happened to be driv- ing a spanking team of horses himself, thought his pursuers were hold- uppers or highwaymen; so he gave them a run for their money, but was compelled finally to throw up his hands. When they found that the fright- ened Bostonian, with bullet-holes through his hat and clothes, was only a harmless curio-collector in search of “specimens,” they acknowledged that the laugh was on themselves. As for Mr. Dennis, his experience is the biggest curio the west has yielded him thus far. comicbooks.com
