15. THE
The Way Street amina Obtain
and Enjoy the Amusement.
In the rain and mud of
ui :ht a group ol attcreu Mreafoys
tood shivering at the eutfance iau
Ehhi Side variety theater Ivyfwcre
studying with bn,athli?s.n.'tcri'St the
highly colored play-bflll," Above
hung a legend to which trieir eyes
seemed occasion illy attractive by a fa
tal fuKcinatiou:
"Admission to the gallery, 10 cts."
'Got any money, Jack?" whispered
one utidging his still mote ragged
neighbor.
"No." was the mournful answer,
"hain't got a cunt."
Suddenly a little tatterdemalion
rushed into the crowd. His eyes spark
led with excitement aud his hair stood
fircely up through the holes in his
hat. ''Smv, fellers, lend me three
cents, I've got seven."
He was greeted lv a chorus ol" Wot
yer givin' us? Wind?
"Pll pay yer to-morrow, honest,
soon's I've sold my papers."
"Sure now?"
"Yer bet."
"Here yer are then.'' said the crowd
as the three coppers were counted out
into his grimy luud.
"Don't yer lorget "and as he v.n
ishediuto the theater with a wild
whoop of triumph the same voice yell
ed after him
"I'll kuock thestuffluout of yer, if
yer do."
There was a dismal silence as the
boys gazed enviously at the closed
door of their paradise It was broken
by a sound of subdued snivelling.
'Wot's the matter wi yer?' anda lit
tle fellow hardly eight years old was
dragged out from a dark corner. "I
wants to go ter the shovv," he blub
bered. "They say it's a bully old
piece. I've sprnt all my money. I
wos hungry an' I couldn't help it."
"Yerihink we're Wanderbilts, do
yer. Wot yer makin such a nise
about ? Take this aud stop yer jaw."
One cent, two, three dropped into his
haudh, and his dirty face began to
beam through his tears.
"Say, yer'll waut this," lie said hes
itatingly. "O, none uv yer taffy now. Go it,
little feller," aud the door closed be
hind hiin, while the boys beat their
broken shoes on the wet pavement to
drive away the chill. Meanwhile
their beneficiary was climbing a steep
flight of narrow, dirty stairs. Keener
nostrils would have detected a smell
which grew stronger and stronger as
the gallery was approached.
"How'd ye get in ?" greeted him as
he climbed over the seats and wedged
himself into a crowd of his compan
ions. But he had no words to spare
for his eyes were riveted on the stage.
The shaky, dilapidated scenery
seemed to him as real as the beauty wf
the heroine on whom he ga.ed en
tranced without a thought of rouge
or pearl powder. The loud-mouthed-vi
Main, evidently saffering from too
much beer, was to him the very cm
bouiment of a depraved aristocrat.
The humble laboring man who posed
as hero, clad in a maimer that the
workingtneu would despise, enlisted
Hie boy's earliest sympathies from the
first. The gaudi y attired men and
women who smoked cigarettes in the
boxes, with their feet on the chairs,
were to him real live "swells."
Throughout the house every man
wore Lis hat. A departure from the
custom wouid have beeu considered a
breach of etiquette. It was also con
sider d i he "correct thing" to crunch
peanuts audibly aud scatter their
shells to the right and left with au
utter disregard to consequences.
But the gallery was the feature of
the house. A tier of eager faces,
massed closely together, rose from
front to rear, behind which towered
the forms of "special o Ulcers armed
with canes. Packed like sardines in
front a row of little fellows with ex
cited faces hung over the railing in
; their shirt sleeves, breathlessly watch
ing the play, now silent as death,
again howling like little fi -uds. The
well-dressed villain met with their
disapproval. Lofty, moral and heroic
sentiments were cheered again aud
again. The "fuuny man" who tum
bled over chairs, sat down in was"
tubs, and was beaten with broom
sticks by irate women, never failed to
out peals of laughter.
The play grew more thrilling. TIip
villain eloped with the ife of the
upright laboring man, who was a wi-
SATIHDAY MíílIT
UALLCRY.
ncr, dressed as miners invariably are,
iu a spotless white shirt, velveteen
trousers and elaborate leggins. The
villain's servant liad kindly dropped
a letter into (he miner's cottage,
which informed the injured hi sbaud
that his mns'er would come for au
interview with the wife on seeing a
light displayed. The stage lights
were turned down. The
miner made the signal. It was evi
dent that there was to be "b-l-l-lood."
A breathless silence reigned in the
durkues of the gallery. A door op
ened, and the villain entered, while
the miner concealed himself. The
suspense was too much for one of the
gallery gods, and he yelled, "Cheese
it, cully, he's laying for yees."
Then the villain proposed to turn
the miner out. "You'd better not,"
replied the latter patting his biceps
muscle, and this brought down the
house. "Puuch his head," shouted
the boys. The miner produced a pis
tol and the gallery went wild. "Shoot
him!" "kill him!" "he ain't uo good!"
Their sympathies wee on the side
of suffering virtue. At last the miner
aud villain confronted each other
with pistols. The gallery wa3 still as
death. Every eye was strained and
every mouth was opened. But at the
faial instant the heroiue rushed iu aud
threw herself around the miner's
neck. "You must shoot through me,"
she cried, in tragic tones, A deep
gloom settled upon the faces in
the gallery aud a disgusted
voice exclaimed, "That' a h 11 of a
fight," to which another replied, "It's
a stand off." The vi lain remarked
several times that he had "deeply
wronged" everybody, and proposed
to "atone by a life of penitence." He
was listened to with impatient disfav
or, and frequently requested to
"cheese it" aud "go hang himself."
But by midnight everybody in the
play was successfully killed or made
happy. The gallery gods dropped
their last haudfuls of peanut shells on
the heads of the people below, jumped
over the wooden benches and hustled
their way out. They tumbled down
stairs, stopped to adjust one or two
"affairs of honor" on the sidewalk,
and then disappeared iu the darkness
aud the snow. 2V. Y. Tribune.
A tnllfornii netting' story.
John Mackay, the mining million
aire, has in his employ at Carson, Ne
vada, an expert named Maurice Hoe
flinch, who always offers to back his
opinions by be ting. This annoys
Mackay, who dtes not like to be dis
puted, and is further fretted by the
fact that Hoefiich usually proves to
be in the right. One day Hoefiich
was playiug with au enormous grass,
hopper. It could jump over twenty
feet, and he said :
"I'll ped you $50, Mr. Mackay, dot
you can't find a hopper to beat him."
The rest of the story, as told by the
Appeal is ns follows : Mackay sent a
trusted emissary down to Carson Val
ley to secure a ronteHant. The man
spent nearly a week catching hoppers.
Mild reported that the best gaitauy of
them had was seventeen feet. He
doubted if a bigger jumper could be
secured.
The next day he had about a dozen
hoppers, aud Mackay gave them quar
ters iu his room as Vauderbilt would
have stabled his stud. Each had a
cigar box to himself, and every morn
ing they were taken out aud put
through their paces. It, was impossi
ble, however, to get one tojump over
eighteen let. Mackav was iu des
pair; but one morning a hopper
sniffed a bottle of ammonia on tne ta
ble and immediately jumped thirty
feet. Next day Mackay announced
to Hoefiich that he was ready for the
match. The expert came before the
time with his pet hopper. Not fiud-
iug Mackay in, lie noticed the botile
of ammonia. A light broke upc'
him. Grabbing the bottle he rrwne(l
to a drug store, threw aviy the
ammonia, aud ordered it ?dcd with
chloroform.; Mackiy on arrived
with a half dozen mining superin
tendents whom head invited to see
hi u have som witn Hoefiich
They were hwrdly seated when Hoe
fiich cainanwUh a cigar box under
his arm-
"I as a little late, Mr. Mackay, but
I am here mit der hopper and der
coin "
He laid down the money which was
covered promptly. Mackay got be
hind somebody aud let his hopper
sniff at the ammonia bottle, which
held Iloeflich's chloriform. Time be
lag caltod tba hopper wore placed
side by side ou the m'azza. and at the
word "go," each was touched on the
back with a straw. Iloeflich's entry
scored twen .our feet. Mackav V
gave a lazy lurch of some lour inches,
aud folding its legs f. II fnst asleep.
Good O ii na Ins;,
A geutleman well known in this city
as a "red ho" republican and some
thing of a betting man, after an ab
sence of several years, returned to the
city of his younger days early iu the
president'rtl campaign. Early in the
summer he made nt wagers on (he
general result, but most of'ds money
was placed on the result in New
York' He must have had several
thousand dollars at s like on the turn
of the political wheel of fortune in
this state About a week before elec
tion day a democratic friend asked
him if he was not carrying all of his
eggs in a somewhat frail basket, say-
iug that New York state was even
more likely to go democratic than re
publican. In support of this it was
said that New York cily would give
at least sixty thousand democratic
majority. Uuon this the backer of re
publicanism said:
"Have you a pencil and a note
book?" "Yes."
"Take them out aud write down
what I tell you."
The pencil and note-book were tak
en out aud he dictated as follows:
"New York will give Hancock a
majority of-Have you got that
down?"
"Yes."
"Forty one Have yout got that?"
"Yes."
"Forty-one thousand oue hundred
and forty-one."
"All right; just look at those figures
after election."
And when, on Thursday moruiiig,
his democratic friend took up thd
Advertiser, rc read the figures of
Hancock's majority as returned at the
police headquarters at 41,326. A man
that can guess the majority of New
York city within 185 on h poll of ove,
200,000 vetes has a right to back hi
figures with his money. If any one
doubts the truth of this little tale, he
can call at this office and see the mem
orable figures, 41.141, as they were
written ten days before the election
day -Mmira 2V. Y. Gozete.

Miss Chaffee has been educated in
Europe, is the ouly daughter of her
father, aud is the owner aud mistress
ol a beautiful home here iu the fash

with its elaborate decoration and fur
uUhiug, cost little less than $100,000,
Senator Chaffee has been very .ill for
several years past with chronic in
fl.imnmtion of the bladder, aud his
daughter has given him careful aitcn
dou and home comforts. The doctors
had almost given him up, but last
year he had begun to drink the water
of the Poland Springs in the state of
Maine, which is said to be no mineral
water, but merely tr.c purest ot nat
ural water, very gran ful to the intes
tines and system. He ie rapidly be

er. A Queer Matrimonial Schema
The books of a corporation styled
'The Matrimouial Bcuefic Company"
opened yesterday for membership.
The temporary office of this strangely
named institution is at No. 335 Vine
street, but it is proposed to rent com
modious headquarters at Pike'sOpera
House Building as soon as business
gets brisk enough. When the repor
ter's attention was directed to the
concern by au advertised notice in the
preii, be thought tome ouo was play-
ing a practical joke. Ii was learned
by subsequent inquiry that the "Mat
rimonial Benefit Company" was a
duly incorporated body, tha char
ter member being Lewis Barnard. A.
McMicken, Jr., J. II Marrew, Joseph
Seiter, aud W. C. Smith. Lewis Bar
nard said the scheme was a grand one
aud, what was more, it was unique
Thr society was a mutual benefit one
hu characteristic being to pay the
benefit on the marriage of a member
instead of at death The capital stock
was to be $2.000. The initial cost ot
membership being $5, with au assess
ment of $1 on the marriage of a mem
ber. What tools the members would
be to remain single when they could
get $1,000 by getting married! Sup
pose they all got married at once!
Where would the assessments come
from? But perhaps Lewis Barnard
and his compeers have bauded them
selves together as philanthropists, to
open a way whereby all the old maid
can find husbauds and happiness.
Their society ought to bo :alled "The
Organization for the suppression of
Single 13les8edues3." Cincinnati Ga
zette. -The telegraph wire, according to
the operator, was broke iu forty
places, more or less, possibly less, but
then the breaks were numerous
enough and wide enough to prevent
any report this morning. The little

their wire is used for commercial bus
