When Loulso Lindsay retired to rest last

have winged its wnv to the evergreen shoro.
In order to hasten her departure she swal
lowed the con touts of a vial of laudanum.
Her family discovered the fact and a coldhearted -
hearted physician with a most unromantia
stmnuch pump brought her back before she
had traversed moro than half of the distance
to the other land. She attempted sulcldo because -
cause her lever had spoken harshly to her
nnd unjustly accused her of attending n dnnco
at a questionable resort on O street.

It was a liappy Thanksgiving day for Wil
liam J. Gilmorc because the fates vouchsafed
him two fine audiences for "Tho Devil's
Auction. " Every seat at the Boyd was sold
last night , from the hithormost row In bald
head parartlso to the uppermost perch in
"nigger heaven , " whllo the boxes bulged
with stag parties and the terraced ranks of
sitters were fringed with standing Humanity ,
and the entertainment was worthy the mag-
nilicunt audience which it moved to alternat
ing storms of uppluuso and choruses of
laughter.
There WP.S not much story in ' 'The Devil's
Auction" that was taken off the stage four
years ago , and there is oven less in its re
juvenated form. George .H. Adams , our
friend of happy "Humptv Dumpty" mem
ory , carries thu only speaking part of any
particular merit , and ho gives a frolicsome ,
tunny , donkoyesquo impersonation of
"Toby" that is Irresistibly infectious ; but
the performance docs not depend on acting
ability In the scattered dialogue , aud the
unities ovun survive the betrayal of n fairy
who ceases a virtuous platltudo to sing
an indifferent topical song. The story , what
little there H of It , is an Insiuld mixture of
demon and fairy with right triumphant , a
sort of a dramatic milk and mush to feed
simple mentalities , but that is the smallest
part of the entertainment. Thu performance
is larcoly extravaganza , and who ever suc
ceeded in llxing any limitations to that
"art I"
"Tho Devil's Auction" In Its now form Is
full of unique specialties , and is staged with
croat inagnltlccnco. It was to bu oxpucted
that the costuming would bo line ,
but the scenery was beautiful to
gorgooiisncss. 1'ho manager who favora
thu public with such a wealth of prutty
scenic effects is entitled to Kindly , oven gen
erous , consideration.
Among the specialties wt'ro .several
ballet divortisomcnUs much butter and
more elaborate than the average ef
fort In that direction. The three
Lorollns gave a pantomimic act which
was not only now. but startling to tbo imagi
nation and piuzhnc to the souses. The
Bosboblcs , man nnd woman , gave an acrobatic
batic performance , in which the fomata
turned handsprings , ( llpllaps nndsoniOMaults
so gracefully and. perfectly that her draperies
were scarcely disarranged and nuvur exposed
more of her poMon than her ankles. But ,
really , the only way to got mi adequate Idea
of this spectacular affair is to go and see it.

At the annual rillo competition held nt tbo
Eellcvuo rifle range in August , every com
pany in the department was represented
by an enlisted man. The Seventeenth In
fantry was represented by two ofllocrs , nnd
the Eighth , Sixteenth and Twenty-first regi
ments by one each , The Second and Seventh
infantry had no ofticer representative.
The results of the competition were very
satisfactory , showing n total for the llrst ton
mon of ri ; > S , a gain of 155 points over the
first ton men of last year. The phenomenal
score ot 5'JO ' points made by Private Richard
N. Davidson.Company G , Sixteenth infantry ,
is worthy of notice , it being the highest ever
made at the Bellevue rillo range. Tbo foot
of ttio team bad a total of 521 points asngainst
511 points last .vear. Tbo aggregate gam
over'last year is , for all competitors , (580 (
points , being n gain of 425 points at known
distances and 2154 at tbo skirmish firings. The
per cent of nil firings was 50.30 , against 57.77
for last year. For the team of ton a total of
3,217 , or bO.42 per cotit , was made at known
distances , against 3,23.1 , or SO.S7 per cent , in
IS'JO. At skirmish lirings a total of 2.171 , or
54.27 per cent , ngainit 1,098 , or 49.93 per cent ,
m IbOO.
The highest skirmish score this year is 253 ,
against 2i2 of Ib90 ; the lowest 0 ! , against 'J9
last year.
At the army competition held at Fort Sher
idan , 111. , this year the quota of live from the
Department of the Plutto rille competition
scoured one gold aud two silver medals , and
the quota of two distinguished marksmen
0110 gold medal.
The annual oavalrv competition for the
Departments of the East , the Platte and Cali
fornia was bold at the Bellevue rifle range
August 17 to 20 inclusive and the revolver
match August 21 and 22. There were twenty-
live enlisted competitors from the First ,
Fourth , Sixth , Eighth and Ninth cavalry ,
and three olllcor competitors from the Sixth
and four from the Ninth cavalry , thus mak
ing thirty-two competitors mall.
The Sixth cavalry secured six places and
the Ninth cavalry thrco on the carbine team ,
and each of the above regiments four on the
revolver team , thus winning two gold medals
flvo silver medals and ton bronze medals.
Of the quota of 11 vo representative com
petitors to the army curbltio competition
three of the Sixth cavalry and two of the
Ninth cavalry were selected from this trl-do-
partinout competition , nnd at the army coin-
potion they won two gold medals , The quota
of two distinguished marksmen won ouo gold
modal.
This year , owing to the limited appropria
tion for shooting galleries and ranges , there
was no money to pay rent for the llollovua
rillo raiifo , but , rather than have the depart
ment uud cavalry competitions bold else
where , the parties who own tbo land upon
which tbo range Is located consented to Its
use by ttio government without charge.
This range , with its beautiful surround
ings , should bo kept in condition for the de
partment aud other competitions. It is now
in good order , with acompletasupply of camp
and garrison cquippago , tent doors and a per
manent bnko house , and to break It up until
such time as a now range can bo prepared on
the site of the now post of Fort Crook would
bo a misfortune.
Owing to its central location , I bollevo that
the competitor ! for the annual competitions
could bo assembled nt this range nt much
le i > cost to the govern mont than at Fort
Sheridan , 111.
