It was not a cultivated audience that
vas assembled Intt night Inn certain llttlo
.hcatro on the west aide , There were no
dress-suits and elaborate tollota in the
'tout row * , nor dainty ushers with
boutonnlcrcs , nor anything that is re-
gaidcd na particularly stroll , Everything
woio o dingy look. The curlnin , as well
aa well aa ono coula too through the
' .olncco smoke , tcomcd tndod , The
jaintcd velvet of Its drnpory had lost ita
snap and ( hero was a ty no means incon

accno lu which a number of naked
were performing n war-donco about
cocoanut tree. Tied to the trco was a
man who , f torn his dross and sanctified
ixprcsslou , was evidently n misjlonnry.
A largo alligator wns climbing up the
bank behind the missionary , na if ani
mated with an intention to gobble him
up. It may have been , however , that the
attlat inoicly intended the alligator aa
accessory to the tropical effect.
If the audlcnco lacked cnlturo It as
suredly was not wanting In enthusiasm.
The jcunesso doroo of South Ualstcd
at root and Ita vicinity filled the gallery to
overflowing and gave vent to its pout-up
spirits la cat-cilia and unearthly hovrla.
Following the load of scmo ingenious
young person who Imitated the granting
of a pig , tha men In the balcony gave in
unison a choius of grunts , running all
the way down the gamut from the croak
of the adult porker to the squeak of the
suckling of the flock , and producing very
much the musical effect of n hog-train ,
bound for Cincinnati. This performance
woa succeeded by Imitations of various
animals , piven in a cimllar manner , ac
cempmled by fibril I whistling and the
measured tramp of foct , all cf which was
Intended both to express atd relieve the
impatience of the uudionco at the delay
In the raiting of the curtain.
The pit beneath , like the gallery , was
crowded , with the exceplisn of the four
front tows , which were reserved at fancy
prices 35 cents a head for the oxtrava-
'
gan't. The remainder of thocarquet was
well filled , for the most part with men ,
though a few women were ccattored hero
and there. Walters in hugo white bibs
distributed refreshments In the nhaps of
bcor and cigars. The boar was mostly
froth and tlio cigars irero extremely bad.
Although the latter were inclosed In
sealed envelopes , marked with different
prices from five to fifteen cents , there
seemed to bo no perceptible difibrtnco in
the quality of the tobicco.

seated at the piano Immediately in front
of the stage , having concluded with an
elaborate iloarlsh the performance of ono
of Harrigan and Hart's snat s , the cur

tor rose by a succession of jerks upon the
firat act of ono of those gory border
melodramas which boar to dramatic ait.

novels to literature.
"Wild Bill , " the hero of the play , waa
a fair specimen of that exaggerated typo
of ruffianism to which the average email
boy looks np with Instinctive admira
tion and vonoration. If tlu's typo were
subjected to the dissecting process by
some export moral anatomist it wonld be
found to bo , Ilka Thackeray's George
IV. , an empty shell. Dlve&t it of its
necessary accompaniments in the way of
"flhootlng-lrona , " bowio-kulfe , andmock-
hcrolo swagger , nnd what is loft ? . Noth
ing but the gas with which it was. ) In
flated. Yet what small boy la there who
does not find In thla typo hij Ideal who
would not , If he could , be such a man
aye , rather than a king or a railroad con
ductor ?
The play wai a string of sensational
incidents , thrown together without much
ogard to plot , to glvo the hero an oppor-
unity for the performance of a number
of remarkable exploits. Ho was Inces-
lantly pursued by a gang of radians
'torn whom ho waa only saved by a boautl-
'ul barmaid who afterwards turned ont
o be a lost heiress , the daughter of an
SnRlloh nobleman. The ruilians having
til been killed off at the end of the play ,
ho dramatic proprieties were at length
atiaQod by the marriage ef the barmaid
, ud Wild Bill. i
The Boone whore the barmaid was won
by Wild Bill at a ganio of poker was unn
ually fine , and when Bill showed down
'ovr aces on the table and scooped in the
pot the applause waa positively deafen-
'np.It
It is observable that an audience of the
lass hero de&crlbod has a strong porcep-
ion of the difference between virtue and
ivlckodnces , and , although It may not pro-
'ejs the former to any extent , ( a none the
ess inclined to encourage it as an ab
stract principle. Accordingly , plays of
hla description are always tilled with Bit-
imtlona in which the triumphant virtno
f the hero is brought ont In strong re-
luf against a dark background of wicked- !
nose.
nose.Tho drama ran along emoothly enough
nearly two blocd curdling acts
until , in the mldat of an unusually thrill-
eceno , a Btrloua interruption occurcd.
Tha barmaid , who had just boon rescued
by Wild Bill from the clutches of two
doiperadooa by whom oho had boon kid
naped , had fallen fainting Into the arms
of her preserver , while the latter covered i
.ho ruffians with a brace of huge rovol-
I Ci
vep.
vep.Tho carlaln wna about to bo rung
down upon this Interesting tableau when
a dead kitten , thrown by the hand of
some pcrdon unknown , but apparently
coming from the parquet , fell with a dull
thud at the hero'a foot. The latter end- .
f
donly chucked the flow of his Impassioned
oratory , and looking first at the kitten
and then around him at the audience ,
seized the "tribute" by Its dilapidated
tall and strode forward to the front of
the stage. Evidently euch an indignity
wai more than his haughty
eoiil could brook. After walk
ing ocrois tbo footlights and sur
veying the parquet with an air of subdued
ferocity in aaln effort to ascertain In
wbencu the feline corpse had corao ho
paused , "Ef I knowed the follor wet
trowed that cat , " ho cnlil , and the cur
tain full behind him , "I'd make him cat
It" and with an expressive gaatnre ho
vanished in tbo illes.
The next act wont off without Interrup
tion , the author of cU episode , which
had oxcltcd much dbrlenn from the gal-
lorlos , remaining , atraugo tj Bay , nudis
covered.
During the intermleslon which folio wed
the attention of tbo audience WAS attract
ed by an individual In tbo light-hand
stage-box , whoso very bald head reposed
upon the cushioned rail which fenced otl
the box from the staxe. Unnoticed by t
himself , for ho was fait asleep , his tilk
hat had fallen dawn upcn the stage aud
rolled just out of reash , Flo waa tco
much effected apparently by the fre
quent drinks of which ho had partaken to
obicrvo the f ui or to bo awara of the
jokes at hii espenso which piaeod around
amen | ; the audience. lie was aroused to
partial consciousness at length upon the
rising of the curtain by several pokea in
Iho ribs aimlniitorud by n Irlcnd
with the aharp edge of an umbrella.
With a hiccough ho resumed an erect
position , and , percclvlcg for the fust
tlmo the leas of hii hat , proceeded to
mike on effort to recover it. After fishIng -
Ing for It vainly for a limo with the crook
of the umbrella , borrowed for the pur-
poao from his friend , each unsuccessful
attempt being sarcastically applauded by
the audience , the hat waa finally h ndCd
to him and placed on hla head , over which
It was subsequently smashed by an Indian
bravo who struck It as If by accident with
his war-club , This episode , not in the
bill , may bo said to have been the hit of
the evening , and brought down thohonso.
Subsequently the bald-headed man bo-
csmo BO excited during a conflict between
Wild Bill and a band of redskins aa to
lend his aid by giving a number of war-
whoops on hla own account. Overcome
by this exertion ho fell off his chair and
wont peacefully to sleep on the floor of
the box.
Beyond a slight scrimmage between
ono of the waiters and an Irishman , who
instated that 15 cents was too much to
pay for two fingers of bad whisky , the
play passed off without further Interrup
tion , the curtain falling at last upon a
charming scene in which the English E rl
surrendered his "dotter , " a ? ho called
her , to the hero , who , ho Bald , if not a
"juko" or marquis , was , at any rate ,
"ono of nature's noblemen. "

"Gamblers arc among the boat custom-
cm wo have , " said a well-known diamond
broker yesterday. "They buy better
stones than moat people and pay better
ptices. You BOO , " ho continued , they
buy only when fluehand then a thorough
bred speculator in ivories will not atop at
a few hundred dollars. "
'Why is It that gamblnra are so fond
of diamonds ? "
' 'Well , thcrp tire many reasons why
gamblers buy diamonds , " was the reply.
"You " he continued "whenever
sec , , A
man feels like a four-timo winner ho puts
what money ho can into good atones.
Thcoo ho knows have a permanent
value , and can bo turned Into ready
cash with greater facility than any
other of hla chattels. If fcho puta hia
his money in real catsto and wishes to
dispose of the later , days must elapse before
fore a sale can bo made and the title
searched. Horses and carriages are lia
ble to injury and a dopriclatlon In valao ,
but with diamonds it is different. Should
a man make a loser playing bank ho can
obtain ready cash at a few hour's notice |
by Belling or 'Booking hla gems. It la
the work of a few momenta to test a
stone , and the 'gam * soon baa money
again.
'Then , too , it must bo romborod the
class , of men of which we speak generally
have no settled habitation. They mi
grate from place to place. In moving
about they can carry their diamonds , and
are thus aeady for any emergency. They
conld not carry houses and lots. Then ,
again , they aro.aSj'a rulemen who like to
appear wealthy , and diamonds , it must
be confessed , do give a man the appear'
auco oE effluence. "

bio diamond1' was asked of Mr. E. M.

San Francisco Chronicle.
It WAS a facatlotu San Franciscan who ,
upon boiiuf told that that there was a
glacier In Washington Territory that
traveled a quarter of a mlle a year , re
marked that "NVo haven't any glaciers ,
but wo luvo mtajotiRer boys , " If this
tendency to nlowncsi was the only bad
habit prevalent In "tho District1' thla
article would not have been written , but
the feet la that the great majority of
thcsQ boys , whoso afio ranges from 12 to
10 , while lardy of ga't ' are decidedly
"fast"in habits. Many parents place
their younu boys in the various district
telegraph offices , believing that it is a
good place for them to loom the city aud
acquire bnsinoas-llko hablta of prompt-
nesi and dltpstch , llttlo thinking that
they are placing their pure and Innocent
children in perfect schools of vie ? , for so
little can the managers exercise surveil
lance over them and so many are the
temptations and opportunities that bes3t
them that they coon become adopts
In many small crimes and vices
that soon harden their hearts and blunt
their finer sensibilities. Like all similar
caaee , the older and more experienced
soon educate the now boys into all the
tricks of the craft , and , with the loyol'y
to comrades that dlttingulahoe boys the
world over , they will aubmlt to Qnoi , and
oven discharge rather than "peach" ono
upon the other. As the neatly uniformed
and in many caaca bright-faced lot-king
little fellows pass through our atroote , no
one could think of tbo thousand sights of
crime and vlco that ore brought before
young eyes and the pretty trlcka of mean-
noaa and deception that they soon learn.
The manner in which the habit of petty
larceny gfefj oflon acqvlrod and prac
ticed comes from the ignorance which
prevails among the gouoral public as to
the workings of the messenger ayttem.
Thera are three diflftnnt telegraph com
panies which do telegraph business in
San Francisco the Ameticin Dis riot ,
the San Francisco Dlsorict and the
Western Union. While each ono differs
in minor particulars , yet in the main the
principle of operation ia tbo simo. The
customers rings or telephones to ono of
the { { different offices or stations , and a
messenger boy is Immediately
sent to the place from which the call la
aont , and there ' is given the message or
package wh'lch ia to bo token to uomp per
son or place at aomo other point in the
city. The boy , on leaving the office , is
given a ticket of ono of two kinds , ono
color being for regular customers , whose
bills ! are made out at the end of the month ,
and from whom the boy receives no
money , and consequently , has no chance
to defraud , but another color being for
transient patrons , who pay the boy for
the time occupied in doing each particu
lar errand upon the basis of BO much an
hour , the price varying with the aevcral
companies.
After has "learned the ' "
a boy ropes' ho
is able to guago pwtty accurately the
status of his customers , aud whenever he
imagines that he can doao with impunity
ho often adds as much to the correct price
of the service aa ho thinks the persons
employing him will stand , and this ho
puts Into his own pocket , aimply report
ing to the office the correct amount for
the tlmo spent on the trip. It is said
that some of the older "hands" thus re-
aliza Bovcral dollars a day , and as the
office rarely hoara of it there la very little
fear of being detected. The time of leav
ing the ofiico ia marked on each ticket ,
and the messengers are obliged to pay for
the time which they are absent ,
o that thla has led to
another favorite device among the boys.
They do the errand and then report 5 or
10 cents leas than they receive , claiming
that the coatomer'a clock only indicated
the amount of time consumed for which
they report ; that is , that it was ten or
fifteen minutes slower than the ofiico
clock , and that they were tbcrcforo de
ceived , and only charged what they re
port. However , as the company is the
direct loser in this case , it does not onc-
ceed so easily as the others. Another
plan is to answer the call , and if the boy
thinks there is no chance for the mana
ger to find tno customer , ho takes the
message , collects the pay and reports the
call "no go , " tint is , that the bell was
rung by mistake or accidentally , as
quite frequently happens , and if the
youngster can toll a straight story and
slick to it , ho generally escapes detection.
This plan is generally followed whore the
errand is a abort ono and can bo quickly
done. Still another scheme la where
people moot the mciHsngora on the street
and hire them to go on errands , not
knowing or caring that it is against the
rules of the company to do so. The boys
accept the work , going , na soon : u out of
sight , to the original call , vrhcro
they likewise receive n message , nnd
do them both together , charging one
or the other cf their patrons
enough to coyer the extra time consumed ,
on Berne specious story of not finding the
pereon they were cent to or of being de
tained for an answer , and so thy col'cct '
enough to pay the offica for the time they
have been absent , end pocket the pro
ceeds of the extra trip. And still
another proctlco commonly rosottod to is
where they ore given money to buy some
particular artlcla for the customer say
$5 for a botile cf champagne. In this Is
Instance they Immediately resort to some
doalrr In spurious wines , who will fur-
nleli them with the desired label for 82
or 83 , the boys pocketing the difference.
It la said tbac ono boy , during the recent
holidays , stole the differonoa on a whole
dozen bottles without detection. Aud
BO It ia with any article that they can
practice eecoption about , so that their
revenue- from this sonrco ia very largo ,
There ara many other tricks resorted to
by those embjyo crlmlnala by which oven
persons cognizant of the rules of the
company are duped by clover stories and
plausible pretexts , but enough haa been
shown to Indicate the terrible and nearly
general prevalence of potty crime among
those children , who are thus imbued with
dishonesty at in ego when they ara llttlo
able to resist temptation.
In addition to this readily acquired
habit of small stoillng , there ia still an
other source of terrible danger to thcsa
unprotected boys. They are called at all
hours of the night aud day to the Amb
ling hells , Baloi'iii and opium dona which
abound in this city , and ere thua brought
into direct contact with all theeo phases
o'degradation end dlegraso , end , with the
Hberali'y ' that Bo frcquently diaUngiilaheg
the patrons of snrh places , they are often
treated to fiery liquors or tempted to ex
periment with opium timokinp , and with
the curiosity of youth they too frequently
acquire the firat Icseons in those dreadful $1
habits from such occaalona. Nrr is the
wrrit told , In the lone watches of the
night , when virtue sleeps ia innocence
and psaoe , then are the nunuons < > [ the
debased and homes of tbodopraved cyprl
ana thrown open to the licentious gaetti
that nightly throng tholr parlors , and
these poor frlencltai boys are in constant
demaad all the livelong night doicg the
crrando of sin , and learning the language
. and seeing the sights of the darkest
phatos of human life. Gazing up
on ! the tlpty revels of these
nlundonod creatures , hearing tholr
ribald laughter and obscene jests , it is
not wondetfnl that the innocent minds
| nnd ] Impressionable hwirti of thcso youth'
ftci waifs are soon corrupted , and pre
cocious wickedness and vulgar language

goodness and purlly may have been im-
ulnntod In their tender minds It is
stated upon most trustworthy authority
that the language of unny of those boya
would sbock the meat hardened rouo , so
ingenious do they become in combining
and ringing the changes upon the foul
talk and blasphemous and leehorona con
versatlon that they are forced to listen
to , The basement "dlvo" kept by W.
G. Jones , on the nouthwost corner of
Bush and Kearny streets , Is a potent fac

The largest organ over constructed was
recently finished at Ludwlgeburg. It Is
for the cathedral church atltiga. It con
tains 7,000 pipes and 124 stops. A icur-
horto engine supplies itwith wind. The
largest organ in the body is the liver ,
which in a man of average size weighs
about seven pounds. When this ortjan
gets ont of order there ia trouble. When
Brown's Iron Blttera ia taken the trouble
subsides. Mr. W. H. Noedhatn , of Con-
trovillc , Iowa , s ys , "Brown's Iron Bit-

United States Deputy Marshal Wheeler
recently found at Kirksvllle what ho
called a "frogman. " This individual , ho
says , is shaped very muoh like a frog ,
His feet are of the frog pattern , and ho
jumps from place to place just as is the
habit of the frog. Bo does not sit upon
chairs , but cquirely upon all fours as the
members of the frog family do. The
man is about 45 years old , and is na
usually intelligent and wears a full beard.
The marshal learned tbat thcro had been
another child in the family , also a male ,
similar in all respects to the ona just
described.
Mr. Davies Murdock , 33 W. Blddlo
St. , Baltimore , Maryland , says : I had a
most severe attack of cold and cough , ac
companied by irritation of tbo throat and
hoarseness. I was advised to try lied
Star Cough Cure , and did sj. Throe or
four doses at night gave prompt relief and
cured me I recommend it.
Several weoka ago the two-year old
baby of Owen Walker , of Marshall IU. ,
swallowed a copper cent. All efforts to
ramovo the coin from the child's stomach
proved unavailing , and the young ono
has been growing weaker day by day.
Strange to say the child ia turning blue.
A heavy blue circle under the oyca was
first noticed. This bigan to spread nud
Is gradually extending , nnd If the chi'd '
lives long enough It is thought the entire
body will turn blue , thun producing the
wonderful of "blue "
curiosity a baby.
