Mr. nnd Mrs. Stimson loft last evening for Uonvor. where they will mnko their homo. ASIVSEMiXTS. "Tlint ( llrl from Mrtlco. " Mr. and Mrc. Sidney Drew nro young nctors In their first starring season. Both como of theatrical families , but they nro too modest nnd sensible to make loud pretension of being the greatest artists In tbohlino. . They have undoubted talent , which expert * ienco will broaden nnd embellish. They also haven legacy of good will which the public bnstoxvcd upon their families , nnd they begin the serious work of their lives under ex tremely helpful condition' ; . They presented ' 'That Girl from Mexico" nt tho'Boyd last evening and delighted a dls- crlmlnotlng nudlonco , which accorded the young stars sovotal enthusiastic curtain colls. The play is n farcical comedy not a farce comedy but It Is refined , not noisy , nnd has ninny funny situations. Mr. Drew lint the role of Jack Randolph , who has been bequeathed a fortune on con dition that ho marry Dlnnclla Stnytho within a certain time. Mrs. I3ruw Is Miss Smy the , ivhoso mother wtii n Cnsttlltan whom her Jather married In Moxlco. She Is engaged to bo married to Richard Bird , but lie is In eve with another girl , The play onctis ivith n scene In a Now York club , where Randolph , who has been calling on nil the Smiths named In the city directory , moots Bird and learns of Isabella's Lvhorcabouts. In the second act Randolub marries Dlabolla , after having told her that Bird had boon killed In a duel. The rest is devoted to the untanallng of the snaro. Mr. Drew's comedy never gets boisterous , l UOWG quiet and 'oven , and last night it , von irequont tributes of laughtor. Mrs. Drew represents a romantic young woman , proud of her Spanish ancestry and possessed by an imperious temper. The conception sots rather narrow limits to the actresses' powers , but Mrs. Drew carries out the cyclonic idea with clover consistency. The stars have good support , the work of Harry Brown , William Norrls and Miss Marie Adams being especially notable. The entertainment opened with a curtain raiser entitled "In Honor Bound. " It is n dainty little thing by Sidney Grundy , with a sentiment that is sure to bo popular , nnd it certainly caught the fancy of last night's audience. This was its tlrst public porlorm- nnco. Ciirlottn. A largo and evidently highly delighted audience was that nt the Far n am Street theater last evening , when "A Cold Day" was criveu the first of four performances. The work is alleged to bo n "Groat musical comedy , " but it is hardly that. 'Vet has the performance something to recommend it. It has Carlottr. The ollston of the "loading comedians" would bo a commendable act , but there Is Carlotta , nnd much can bo berne for that pleasure's sake. And none who en joy , if not tbo strict poetry of motion , yet the admirable abandon of a Carmen and such a form and face ns Benjamin Constant would tovcl In painting , should fall to see Carlotta. The performance ns a whole is not very bad ; worse has been soon even of its oxvn class , but the theater should bo crowded at every performance to see Carlotta and perhaps , also , to hoar Mr. Frank D. Nelson sing "Tho Bell Buoy. " _ CAROMED ON HIS HEAD. Dave UuvlH Knocked n Illff Hole In Ucrt COX'H Cnput With u Cue. Down at The Butt saloon , Capitol avenue and Twelfth , the table nnxt the ctreot door in the pool room has a splatch and trail of dried blood from the center pocket over toward the middle of the groy cloth , which takes the place of the conventional greon. A few minutes attar U o'clock , Bert Cox , a young negro man ot 24 or so , was engaged in what began as a friendly game of pool witb another young man of the same race at this table. It was the only table in uso. Loan ing over a table at the ether and of the room , the man in charga was deeply interested in tbo news of Tuc EVENING BEE. He heard nothing but the usual friendly chaff from the players , and was paying no attention , when suddenly a quick oath and a vllo ono was utter1a and a thud was board , and ho looked up to see Bert Cox's head and shoulders drop over the tablo. Cox had boon hit with the butt end of a cue on tbo temple. Just over the left oar , and was bleeding badly. The loungers in the barroom rushed In. The man who struck the blow got out and Cox staggered to bis feet and made for the street to tlnd a police man. Ho found two of thorn , but bo didn't know tbo name of bis assailant , evidently. Ho had his cut attended lo nna then found it wasn't very bad. Everybody around the Butt are dumb as oysters. Both Cox and bis assailant , Dave Davis , wore arrested. STOJllES JVJ0.11 THE SOUTH.

At any rate , only seventeen couples graced the occasion with heir prcscuco. Thn men were nil nttlrcd in Ircss suits , and thu women were notning ot n grotesque character. The grand march van distinctly a disappointment. Then came the lanclcrs. There were but two sots and the dancing was tame , except for ono or wo pigeon wings. The lauclcrs created no enthusiasm. Following thli the Gorhnm base ball club ioxlot warbled n little , after which overy- ) ody settled back and waited for the cake walk. When the momentous tlmo arrived for the preliminary cane walk expectation ran high. foslovv music the contestants came upon the loor. First was Prof. Luke Pulley escorting tltss Nottlu Green. The professor treaded the boards with an air of solemn grandeur hot mndo a decided impression. Next came Will Proclor and Muud CilfTofd , a lltho young woman. Proctor Is a slender young man with an airy , nway-dull-caro carriage , very captivating. His lips wcro parted in a half sumo as ho walks , as though snlillng cake In the distance.

The fourth couple attracted general at ton - ; lon. They were H. S. Blackburn ot Long Branch and Miss Martha .lames of New York. Blackburn Is of slight , build , very graceful figure , and was dressed with per fect tasto. Miss James is n very pretty octo roon. She were a black costume and a puir of white tlippera. Both walked with an ntry ? race that attracted general attention , and the laurels of Dandy Jnck nnd Will Proctor wcro decided to ho in sorlous danger. The others walked with moro or loss peculiarity , and had no show for the cake that occupied a conspicuous position Cm < top of the J. > 00 piano , whoso tin-pan tones nearly incited n riot. After about half an hour of walking the first boat was concluded , and the Judcos Ihen weeded out all but half n dozen couplos. While the walkers were resting for the ilnnl struggle there was a buzzard lope by Miss Blizzard , a young woman in a calico dress and black "stockings. The "lopo'1 created some merriment , and was followed by "buclc dancing" by n quaint llttlo negro known ns "Old Folks. " During the dancing the spectators became a tnflo en thusiastic and showered the dancers with small coins. After tbo excitement subsided the contestants in the finals appeared. Prof. Pulley , Will Proctor , Dandy Jack and H. S. Blackburn was the orfler in which Ihoy walked. Blackburn and.bis . companion ro- cewed the most enthusiastic applausn from all parts of the house and worn clearly the favorites.

" A Vermont correspondent of the Beaten ton Journal suggests that the word "fad" is not modern , hut provincial English. In the Warwick dialect the word means a "whim , " and in at least two of the dialects the word "faddy" is used signifying "frivolous" 01"whim sical. " Another use of the word is to describe a person who is difllcult to please in trillos , and in that connection appear the words "to fad , " moaning tc ho whusy with trilles. As would up < pear from our correspondent , the wonl has been in use among the humblei classes in England for some tiuio. 13 u I low did the word got into current con versation nnd writing both in this conn- ry and In England ? It scorns to ho comparatively now. The fall Mall jazotto , in iv recent number , eoomcd to louht whether the English people were responsible for it , and was at a loss to iccount for the present common use of ho word. If newspapers are any index , ho word is moro frequent in the cast him in the west , in tlio city than in the country , in ' "society" than business or among students. AT LIQHTNINa SPEED Klglit Tlmiunml .Miles In n Stnnll fraction oT ii .Second , The length of tlmo it takes n tolo- rraphio signal , a current ot electricity , to puss under the Atlantic ocean from America to Europe , or traverse any frcat distance , a point about which 'horo ' is un astonishing divergence of deas and inaccuracy of common infor- natlon , was accurately ascertained a few lays ago under interesting circum stances , says the Now York Sun. Some ) xporimcnta were made at McGlll col- ego , Montreal , uiidor the auspices of /ho British and Canadian governments , o ascertain the longitude of Montreal ; > > ' direct observations from Greenwich. It was necessary to know ho v long it , ook signals to nnss under the Atlantic. The land Hno was connected with the cable so that the signals would pass .hrough without being relayed , , \ thing mposslblo to do for actual work , which could ho arranged for simply a flash of current. A return circuit was arranged so that a return signal would go to Danso. N. S. , thence through the cable : o Watcrvlllo , Ireland , and return to Montreal. A chronograph was at- < achcd to the sending and receiving ap paratus to measure the time. Out of JOO signals sent it was found that the average - erago tlmo taken by the current to cross iho Atlantic nnd back , a distance in all if 8,000 miles , was exactly ono second and flvc-hundredtliB of a second. The Milking of Sleigh Itclli. "Tho making of sleigh hells is quite an art , " bays an iron founder. "Tho lit- Ao iron hall is too big to ho put in .hrough the holes in the boll , and yet it s inside. IIow did it got there ? The Ittlo iron hall is called'tho jinglot.1 When you shako the sleigh boll it jingles. In making the boll 'the jinglot' is put Inside a llttlo hall of mud , just the shape of the Inside of the hell. Then a mould is made just the shape of the out side of the boll. The mud ball with 'the iinglot' inside is placed in the mould of the outside , and the metal is poured in , which lllls up the space between the ball and the mould. "When the mould Is taken olT you see a sleigh hell , hut it will not ring , ns it is full of dirt. The liot metal that the boll is made of dries the dirt so that it can he shaken out. \ftor the dirt is all shaken out of the holes in the boll the little iron 'jinglot' will still bo in the hell and will ring. It took a good many yours to think out how to make a sleigh boll. " A Shrewd Chlimman , Ah You , the noted Chinese gambler of San Francisco , who dind recently , was once summoned before the grand jury to pivo testimony regarding gambling houses : "Will you explain how it is your games are not stopped while others are ? " a juror nskod Ah Vou. The shrewd witness hesitated before making a reply. Ho drew a $20 gold piece from his pocket and placed it in front of ono eye as an Englishman would his monocle , and meanwhile a funny leer spread across his face. "You sahhe"said he , "policeman , hone no can see much. " Another $20 piece was then fixed he- fore the ether eye. "You sahho ? Policeman , ho no can see at all. " And that was how the grand jury was enlightened on fan-tan and lottery. GLOWING HEALTH ! A Home Treatment.

I Imvo boon fi constmit snlToror for tunny venrs with catarrh , nsthmii and bronchial nITotP lions of the throat , nnd tried till thd mil out modlclnoa nnd remedies I ovotf hoard of , but with no success. I tioiitoj with doctors in various parts ot the country , but no no of them could do tno any good further than ( jiving mo bhort temporary relief. I Buffered nltrht and day. nnd continued to grow worse not withstanding nil the mcdlclno I hnd taken. I had almost crlvun up mv caeo as hopeless when 1 was Informcu by t > friend of Dr. C. Gco AVe , the Chlncsd doctor , and advised to go and see htm in the hope of getting relief at least , if not n permanent cure for my trouble. I wnd slow in mnking up my mind to make such a radical change in my treatment , ns I know n trial with the Ohlnoso doq tor would bring inu , but I llni\Uy con cluded to give him n trial , so I called at his olneo with that intention. I lovind thn doctor a clover , entertaining gentle > man , thoroughly posted on my condl * tloti , nnd It took only n , very short tlmo to convince mo that ho was tlio purty I was so long In search of. Ho told 1116 my case was curable , and that ho could cure tno , and prepared mo a snoclnl treatment to suit my condition , and In .two weeks 1 was so much bettor that I had the fullest confidence in the doctor'0 ability and committed my case to his treatment. I continued lo grow better rapidly and am now entirely well. 1 owe my cure to Dr. C Gco Wo , nnd nra not ashamed to admit it. I ndviso all who want relief from their troubles to call on Dr. C.
