The Fremont Tribnne says: There was a pleasant little surprise at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mans on Wednesday evening given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick of Columbus who have been spending a few days with old friends and neighbors in the city. The affair was planned at a lodge meeting the preceding evening and was a complete surprise for the unsuspecting guests. Those present were all members of Degree of Honor lodge No. 89. The ladies came dressed as girls aged from fourteen to sixteen years and the men wearing knee pants, peculiarly shaped coats of ancient pattern and neckkerchiefs of 1830 pattern. The party was chaperoned by a grandmother of George Washing ton's time and two old maid aunts. The evening was spent playing games and in social chit chat, and luncheon was served at appropriate interval. The rooms were decorated with autumn foliage." Tie Two Orphans. The splendid reception accorded Bennett A Buhler's presentation of "The Two Orphans' demonstrates beyond question that melodrama, properly presented, will continue to receive a liberal share of the play goers' patronage. The play and company presenting I it are among the beet aeea ia melo drama for some time past, contains plenty of comedy, pathos aad has some mechanical aad electrical effects that are beautiful in the extreme. "The Two Orphan will be the attac tionat the Opera house, oae night only,. November 1L 2 Say. you in the old aeooad ward! How does it feel to live ia a repablioaa ward, ia a republican city, ia a re publican county, in a republican oon gresdonal district,' in a republican I state, ia a republican nation? Tnt Gay Matinee Girl A bigger, better natured, better dressed Columbus audience was never treated to a bigger fake than was dished up to them raw, at the North opera house last Wednesday night. One word, "rotten," followed by a few dashes and exclamation points for the expression of emotions too deep for words, tells the whole story. We apologize for this article under the heading "Gay Matinee Girl." for the play Jatt night was one of those nameless plays that would not last till the company using it to fake the public, could gat to the next town, if its neme were made public. And it bore no more resemblance to the "Gay Matinee Girl" which is really a good play, than the acting of these wax figures on the stage bore to the worst work of the greenest amateurs. The "bunch" were hissed, but they was not hisEed soon enough or long enongh. Tne "bicycle stunt" was the only feature of the entertainment. That was excellent. But if it survives long, it will have to part company with the rest of the "bunch." In justice to Manager Saley, it should be said that he was "buncoed" also. His explanation is that the company playing the "Gay Matinee Girl" went out of business last Sat urday night at Boone, la. Kutsell.the manager of the company, was a friend of the nameless manager of this name less fake company. When be fonnd he could not make Columbus, he turn ed over his contract to his nameless friend, without cancelling his date with Saley or asking for a substitu tion. As a result, this nameless com pany with their nameless play appear ed last night. The Kuasell contract was presented, and the circumstances explained to Saley at the eleventh hour yesterday, too late to cancel the date. The manager of the company told Saley he would guarantee a better play than the 'Gay Matinee GirL" With this assurance, Saley let tee play go on, with the understanding that if the play were unsatisfactory after the first act he should ring the enrtain down, and refund the receipts. The first act was not so bad, so he let the play continue. A little later he tried in vain to get the manager's consent to stop the play and refund the money. For the fnture Manager Saley, who has brought some really good plays here which were not patronized, de clares that in the future, he will not turn over a cent to any company until after the first act. and that if the play is not satisfactory, he will ring down the curtain and refund the ticket money. This is fair. Literary Department. The literary department of the womans' club will meet Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock with Mrs. L. Gerrard. Roll call will be quotations upon freedom.

Who.' regard to a dispatch from Lincoln Saturday, stating that Cap tain A.-H. Hardy bad broken succes sively 1.000 two and a half inch balls at a twenty-five yard rise, and that this was claimed to be the world's record for rifle shooting at moving targets, Mr. Leroy Leech of Omaha, champion rifle wing shot of the world, says: "In the World-Herald of October 22 appears several of my own proven and officially allowed world's records at flying targets. Anyone of three of my records excels the performance of Captain Hardy. Total shot at by me, 3,119, all of which were broken, as follows: One thousand straight, one and three-quarter inch, 1.019 straight one inch, 1,200 straight one and three quarter inch. Each one of my recoils is backed by several reliable and sworn witnesses, and state place, date and complete particulars. 2 "I do not think Captain Hardy, per sonally claims his feat as a world's record, as he is too well posted on shooting matters to ignore established rifle records. "I hereby challenge Captain Hardy to produce court proof that he broke 1,000 straight at flying targets, size two and one-half inches, at a twenty five yard rise, with a rifle and solid ball cartridge. And I agree, if Captain Hardy will, on the grounds of the Omaha Gun club, break 1,000 two and one half inch balls with a rifle at twenty five yards rise, to duplicate his feat, for an equal division of gate receipts." The Lincoln Journal of Friday says: "Captain A. H. Hardy, has answer ed Leroy Leech of Omaha who claims he has made a better record as a rifle shot than Mr. Hardy. Mr. Hardy has hit 1,000 wooden balls, size two and a half inches, twenty-five feet rise, without a miss, using a twenty-two calibre rifle. Mr. Leech is supposed to know that Mr. Hardy did not hit the flying targets at twenty-five yards, bnt he 'published a statement that if Mr. Hardy would break 1,000 two and one-half inch balls on the Omaha gun club grounds, twenty-five yards rise, he would duplicate the feat. In reply Mr. Hardy has informed the Omaha gentleman that he has a standing offer of $25 to anyone who will duplicate the feats he performs with a rine. Being the challenged party. Mr. Hardy has named the Lin coln gun club grounds as the place and November 11 the timo. This is the day following the con taut fcetwf en George L. Carter of Lin coln and Dan Bray of Columbus for the Denver trophy now held by Mr. Carter. This contest will be held at the grounds of the Lincoln gun club. On that occasion Captain Hardy will give an exhibition of fancy rifle shoot ing. The exhibition promises to be interesting, as the feats performed by Captain Hardy are considered wonder ful."

A TutU KMmrt t Fix the Date- Its Caatractoa. The Duchess of Bedford, who died in 1SK. was rather vreakminded, and unhappily her education did little to disguise the defects which nature had Imposed upon her. Her great dread was to have a visitor at Woburn abbey who would ask her bard questions about the foundation and history of the abbey. So if she had a savant In the party she always asked a man of higher rank to meet him, so that she might not be taken in to dinner by the savant Once, as bad luck would have it. she got Lord Stanhope, the historian, who, though he had to take her in to dinner, was none the less a savant. As soon as he sat down to dinner he began the dreaded inquiries about the date of the abbey. The poor duchess, much flustrated, said: "I have a very poor head for these historical things, but I will tell you all I know. The founder was a crusader who, finding himself In great danger In battle, vowed that If he got home to Europe safe be would do anything the pope told him. He got back safe and went to Rome, and the pope told him to build a Cistercian abbey, and he built Woburn abbey. That's all I know." Lord Stanhope said, That Is exactly what I wanted, for if you can tell me which pope it was I can approximately fix the date." Oh, said the duchess, "I always understood it was the pope of Romer Manchester Guardian. ELEPHANT STUPIDITY. water Say That the BIa Aal la Dlawlar Little Cleverness. The process of elephant catching In India, as well as In Siam, tends to rather undermine one's settled notions of elephant sagacity and to create in stead the feeling that a lot of senti mental tommyrot and misleading, ig norantly conceived animal stories have been put forth about my lord the ele phant The literal truth Is that the elephant for all Its reputed intelli gence, is driven into places that no other wild animal could possibly be induced to enter. Is in Its native jungle held captive within a circle through which it could pass without an effort and bullied into uncomplaining obedi ence by a force the smallest fraction of its own numbers. Part of this la no doubt due to'its exceedingly suspicious nature; the other part to its lack of orig inality, to which latter defect, however. Its notable amenability to discipline is attributable. Apropos of amenability. Sanderson records mounting and tak ing out of the keddah, unaccompanied by a tame elephant, a female on the sixth day after her capture, and I saw on the lower coast of Siam on elephant that had been captured in- a pitfall by natives three weeks previously rowed out on two lashed sarupau? to a small coasting steamer and successfully made to kneel that it might get through the port door between decks. Caspar Whitney in Outing. Primitive Aceeaat KeeplM- Even now there are certain parts of Britain Into which the long arm of prog ress has made but little headway, and In the north of Scotland the old fash ioned "tally" is the sole system of "bookkeeping" understood by the in habitants. The 4tally" consists of a flat piece of wood upon which the farm laborer records his day's work. Each notch at the edge represents u day's toil, and half days are recorded by a cut made In the flat surface of the wood. Overtime Is represented by a small round hole drilled iu the "tally" with a penknife. In his present state of education it is likely that it will be many years before the north Scottish laborer improves upon the primitive methods of his forefathers. Fer a Remote Fature. Mr. Green looked with a calm but not unkindly gaze at the simple mind ed young man from Vermont who as pired to be his son-in-iuw. "What preparations have yon made for the future?" he asked gravely. "You know how my daughter has been brought up." "Yes, sir," said the young-man, with equal gravity, "but up in our little town there's not so much difference be tween the Orthodox and the Meth odists as there is In some places, and I'd be willing to go to tlie Orthodox church If 'twould make any difference. Pm not what you'd call narrow, sir." Why a Freaea Aather West. It Is told of the French romance writer La Fontaine that his wife once found him at his desk weeping bitter ly. To her solicitous Inquiry he ex plained that It was the woes of his fa vorite hero which caused his tears. "But," she said, "why not put an nd to them?' "Oh, it Is too soon to do that" he sighed.
