At a meeting of the board of direc tors of the Chamber of Commerce held In the library building on Friday night of last week, M. E. Crosby was elected to the position of secictary to succeed Chas. F. Temple, who recently re signed. The matter of bettering train service into this terminnl was taken up and considered at length, the object being to arrange for the arrival and de parture of the passenger trains on the main line and the branch at such time that tho visitors from neighboring towns would be in the city during busi ness hours and do some of their shop ping here and return home at reason able hours of tho day. Tho conditions as they now exist are extremely incon venient for people who desirq to vjsit our city by train. Tho committee pre viously appointed for the purpose were urged to further1 investigate and report nt a later meeting. The matter, afso, of the installation of a street lighting Bystem was given considerable attention and a committee was appointed to in vestigate tho cost of a lighting systqin. and to outline some plnn for its instal lation and maintenance. The ",Elec- trolior" system was very favorably, considered. This system, if carried out as discussed, would result in the elec tric lighting of Front and Dewey streets with intersecting streets from Third to Fropt, by lights surmounting ornamen tal posts systematically arranged on oither side of the streets and not al lowing of any congestion of posts at tho streot corners. This plnn would re suit in a street lighting that is uniform and brilliant, and at a very reasonable expense, and should receive the hearty support of all our citizens. "The Rose of Panama." John Cort'B production of Heinrioh Berte's Viennese operetta "The Rose of Panama," will bo the attraction at the Keith next Friday evening with tho complete wealth of costumes and beauti ful scenery that so impressed the large audience which gave it patronaga dur ing the engagement at Daly's Theatre, New York, last season. Chapine, tho little Frenchwoman who captured Now York in a single night, will be henrd in the prima donna rolo of Jacinta, whilo many others of tho metroiolitan company have been retained for this tour. Hcinrich Berte's music is perhaps, the principal feature of tho opera. The score contains more thnn twenty really high class numbers that aro reminiscent of "Tho Pink Lady," "The Chocolate Soldier" and "The Merry Widow," but sufficiently removed to nbsolve the composer from plagiarism. Tho story is laid in a Ccntrnl America Republic, whose president, Kemy deJValmoro, is anxious to sur render his job and hie himself to dear old Paris. Ho has, however, becomo so popular that he is maintained in ofiicJ against his will. When a revolution breaks out ho hails it with delight, for he sees a plan to escape the cares of office by having tho rebels victorious. To this ond ho tries to aid then, but is always frustrated by his loyal sup porters. The pretender to the presi dency is one Casterra who would really rather do anything olso but fight. Tho , romance involved lios principally in tho courtship of Marcel Arranto, once fii cowboy, and Jacinta, a favorite of the president.

' I Fate of Alcibiades, This brilliant, witty and dissolute Alcibiades had ono of the most exten sive experiences lu exile that ever fell to tho lot of man. Whilo in com mand of the Sicilian army ho was re called to staud trial for tho destruc tion of tho busts of Hermes, an out rage that had taken place Just before his departure. Knowing that his death had been determined on, ho es caped to Sparta, where, by adopting tho manners of tho people, In strange contrast to his former stylo of luxury, bo became Immensely popular.- Ho en gaged In military operations against tho Athenians and succeeded bo -well as to excite the envy of1 tho Spartan leaders, who expelled him, whereupon ho went to Persia and lived thero with a magniflcenco that astonished tho Persians themselves. IIo was recalled to Athens with ttio same capricious ness that marked his ostracism and was appointed commander in chief of all tho Athenian forces; but, failing In an Important expedition, ho was again sent Into oxllo and was finally assas sinated in Persia. A Fashion That Failed. Charles II. attempted to put down the mutability of fashion in mascu line costume; On Oct 0, 1CG0, as Pcpys records, the king declared in council "his resolution of setting a fashion in clothes, which ho will never niter. It will bo a vest I know not Just how. but it is to teach tho nobility thrift nnd will do good." Six days Inter Pcpys sees the Duko of York try on tho now "vest," which is again de clared to be liko tho laws of tho Mcdcs and Persians. It was "a long cassock closo to tho body, of black cloth nnd pinked with white silk under it, and a coat over it, and the legs ruffled with black ribbon like a pigeon's leg." But Louis XIV. mnllclously dressed nil his footmen In this costume, nnd so did French noblemen, with tho result that the English court very soon discarded tho "unaltcrablo" costume Opaque Windows. Tho building contractor let loose sotuo of his most omplmtlc phrases when ho found that tho man who had been hired to daub whiting nil over tho , windows had not half done tho Job. i j "That man doesn't seem to under-1 stand what tho windows In a half tin-1 lshod building aro whitened for," hoi said. "We don't plaster them overl with chalk to prevent tho public from seeing tho unfinished condition of Uio Interior, but to keep tho workmen from ' battering out tho glass. Transparent, glass looks Just about as transparent us air to tho man who Is moving a wooden or lrou beam In a hurry, nnd ho Is llkoly to ram tho end of it through an expensive window, but when the glass is coated with white It becomes ' visible, ami tho workmen hand tholr material In through the door."- n EI9BB9K9I 9 and.
