"K-unen and ltachel," sung by Miss Minna White and Mr. Koch in Quaker costume, was very well done and re ceived a deserved encore. Mr. Koch also, as Herr Louie Vanderbildt, gave a cake walk as gracefully as the limited stage room allowed. The parts in a farce comedy entitled "The Three Miss Doosenburys" were well taken by Mrs. Travi, Mrs. Pickett and Mrs. Guild and it. v. Tiavis, G. F S. Burton and Lee At wood. It is an exceedingly funny lit tle play, abounding in comical situa tions, and the aggregation of tatent represented in the performers insured success from the beginning. Very charming and bewitching was Miss Ethel Dovey as La Belle Parlsi enne, and Alice Dovey sang "The Ar morous Goldfish" beautifully, the quaint Japanese costume adding greatly to the effect. The Dovey sis tets ulso acted a scene from "The Love Chase," rendered so famous by Julia Marlow. The acting of these young ladies is characterized by a dainty finish that is inexpressably charming. Choice musical selections by Miss Kessler and the M tndolin club diversi fied tho program, which was highly creditable throughout, and reflected great credit on those taking part and the Episcopal ladies in chtrge.

A remarkable curiosity waa un eathed by workmen at the approach of the Ninth street bridge on the op posite side of the Allegheny river, near Bouquet station, says the Pittsburg Leader. It is the bust of an Indian chleftian made of burned red clay and about three-fourths life size. When first discovered by James Sell, an Italian workman, he thought It waa a petrified human body, sj natural are the features portrayed. It waa found under about fifteen feet of earth on the side of the hill wh re the dirt U being taken out to liil out the ap proach of the bridge uuuimenL The formation of the earth . nd slate un der which it had laid sh- wed that at one time there had bet u a s ide of the earth and stone from te -teep hill side. That this had b?r i many years ago, however, is evident-tl by a large elm tree fully two am! :i half feet in diameter standing near by. The im age may have rested on a grave or been buried at the top of the hill, which is the highest alcng the river, or It may have been in:erred where It waa discovered. In appearance it seems as If a mold from a death mask ao perfect are the outlines. The ears, eyes and mouth are perfect, but the nose was fractured by the workman's mattock in excavating. Besides the bust the remnants of a portion of the two arms and hands were found, but these were carried off by two Spring dale boys. There was no trace of the body. What the clay image was used for Is only a conjecture. It may have been an idol for religious worship or it may have decorated a grave. The material of which it is made is hard and flinty, being a mixture of red clay and burnt stone. Over the head, par tially broken off. Is a sort of shield or helmet. The bottom of the bust is nat and solid and there are no marks or indications of its origin.

Engiueer George Balance of Ger taantown was in t'ae city yesterday visiting old friends. He returned to his home this morning. The Chicago, Barlington & Quincy system a few days ago closed a con tract for the use of the union depot and terminals of the Des Moines Union railway. The Chicago, Milwauke & St. Paul road has secured an injunc tion to restrain the Burlington from entering the depot,on the ground that the contract must, under the by-laws of tie Dos Moines Union, be ratified by a unanimous vote of the company's directors. Roswell Miller and A. J. Earling of the Milwauka system are directors of the Des Moines Union,and have refused to ratify the contract. It is considered a move of the S. Paul to keep the Burlington out of the depot facilities. with the publishers that the book be printed in a cheap as well as an ex pensive edition. When asked if "In His Steps" was founded upon facts Mr. Sheldon said: "The story when written was purely imaginary. I knew of no such places or characters in existence. It was not founded upon facts, but it wae written with a desire that the imaginery might b3Come real. Since the story was written I have heard of several characters who are very nearly like these in the book." Iu 1891 Mr. Sheldon adopted a new plan of Sunday evening sarvice in his church at Topeka. Instead of preach ing a sermon he read a chapter from his first story entitled "Richard Bruce." The "new way" pleased the people and tho audience room was crowded every Sunday evening, and since then he has written eleven stor ies which have been read in the same manner. Had he never written but one story and that one "In His Steps" he wouid have won a place in American literature. It has be3n translated into French, German, Russian, Italian, American, Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish and dialects of Western Af rica. It is said from the editions in Amer ica, which sell as low as fifteen cents a copy, Mr. Sheldon receives $o00 per month. Mr. Sheldon j. voids notoriety and is by nature a retiring man and it is said be will not talK for publication. A story is told that a writer for an east ern religious paper once telegraphed him, -I am coming to Topeka to stay a wetk to treat fully of your methods aod motives in writing and the work of your church in detail. The article will be syndicated and printed in nerly every paper in the country." Mr. Sheldon replied at onco, in words of no uncertain sound: "You need not comr. I will not talk to you I have some rights which j'ou are bouad to respect " A friend once told Mr. Sheldon that many people who toad his books would liko to know more about the author; the it newer was characteristic of the man: "What is mere idle curiosity. I do not wish io be talked about or to have my church work talked about. Tho message I havo for these people among whom I live I give in my ser mons. The message I have for the world at large I give in my books. I havo nothing more to siy." That he has the interest of the work ing classes at heart thete can be no doubt. He has studied the different class of wage earners by working at their side, at oie time as a mechanic's helper in the r.airoad shops, and then out upon the road with the trainmen. He is an earnest advocate of muni cipal ownership of public utilities and has studied the subject at home and abro. d Ho believes that water, heat and light plants together with street car lines should be operated by cities. The work of this good man is most noticeable among the poor negroes in Topekr. Especially in "Tennessee town" tho negro quarter in that city. The yards once littered and unsightly have been transformed into gardens and flower beds. Prizes were offered for the best kept houses, neatest yards, most thrifty families and the change has been wonderful. A free reading room and kindergarten were estab lished Lr tho colored people. The story "The Redemption of Freedom" is the sto-y of tho work among the uegroes. Mr. Sheldon believes that the time will come when a christian newspaper managed on a christian basis which the critics call one of Sheldon's "dreams" will be a reality. Upon the wall in Mr. Sheldon's study hangs a pit co of cardboard on which ia printed the following: "Servant Girls' Association." "Society of 'In His Steps.' ' "I pledge myself. God helping me, not to do anything in my daily life without first asking "What would Mrs. Peter Peterson was a passenger for Omaha this morning.

More Magnificent Tban Niagara, A correspondent writing in The Spectator says the Gersoppa fails, on the Sharavattl river, in South Kanara, India, are larger and more magnificent than Niagara. He says: "The river is 230 yards wide; the clear fall is 830 feet. The Gersoppa falls in the rainy ceason are incomparably finer than Niagara in every respect. The roar of the falling waters Is simply terrific; the whole earth shakes, and the thun der is so great that it completely drowns the human voice. When I vis ited Niagara and told my American friends about Gersoppa they replied with polite Incredulity, 'We never heard of Gersoppa.' I replied, 'Make your minds easy; the people at Ger soppa have never heard of Niagara. If Niagara could see Gersoppa she would wrap her head u a mikt." Jermitl Creamer, Eold seme prop3riy 1 A. W.
