It had long runs in all the great eastern citics, and theater-goers seemed never to tire of its great dramatic and sconic interest. Mr. A. M. Palmer announees the final appearance of his own carefully selected anda unequalled company in “Jim, The Penman,” at th New Grand Opera house on Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday evenings, and at Yhe Saturday matince of this_week. The com- g company have been playing through the south lately, and have been drawing crowded houses wherever they have appeared. Such o first-class attraction as this is certain to have large uaudiences at the New Grand, and large as the theater is, its capa city is likely to be tested during next week’s engagement. To-morrow evening, at Boyd’s, will be sig- nalized by the celebrated representation in this city of the great London and New York melotdrama, ‘‘The Stowaway.” Manager Boyd has made unusual preparations for the event. “The Stowaway” has been in con- tinuous representation for a period of four years, and its popularity there is as great as ever.’ Tt is replete with strong and heroic situations, and its climaxes are brilliant and thrilling in an unusual degree. Pathos and humor are delicately blended, and the entire play s pervaded with a vivid spirit of comedy, ically, “The Stowawayl is a master X ne represents o Lon- don street by moonlight; another shows a full rigged yachtat sca, with a moving pano- rama in its wake, exhibiting the gradual fad- ing away of the lands.

The old princi pals, who have made this organization fa mous, are still in the company, and will be assisted by a number of artists who are well known in the east. The Bostonians are stronger than cver before, numbering sev- enty-three people. Their repertoire here will include the following operas: Friday evening, ‘Dorothy;” Saturday matinee, “Don Pasquale;” Saturday evening, “Pyg- malion mu{ Galatea.” The last two operas have never been produced here before, and gre really the best operas the Bostonians ave yet appeared in, THE DALYS.

That is to say, July 2 breaks here within a few hours of the 1st, having broken on the American coust to the east, and tho two days run alongside—the 2d in Easter island and placos west, the Ist in all places on the American continent. We may, there fore, realize this idea—that at 7:30 o'clock any morning of our lives in G Britain the next day is commenc- ing in the world, and is to be found at this little island in the Pacific ocean, whence, in due course, it will travel round to us. But to have thus the start of the world is not an unmitigated ad vantage to these islunders. Suppose one of them sails east to America, what is tho result? He will find that'they keep the day there under a different date, and he ‘will have to reckon one day in his calendar twice over to put himsell right with their notions. On the other hand, if an American crosses from east to west this wouderful magic line where the day begins he will find the dates in this fresh part of the world are one in ad- vance of him and he must needs strike a day out of his calendar to keep up with the times. This fact was curiously illustrated in the case of Magellan, the Portuguese captain, who siailed around the world from enst to west in 1522, and havin crossed the magic line of “*day’s birth™ in his wanderings, his calendar became, of course, adu{ n arrear. The sailors wero coniplotely ignorant of this, and finding on landing at home, that their Sabbath was falling on a Monday, the; accused one another of tampering wit the reckoning. It was not for some time that the true and simple explana- tion of the wonderful loss of tune was discovered, HAYDPEN BROS, 1 Chikteen's Cloaks on Mon dpy, danuary 7.

HaydenBros - WEIGHING STOCK. What Commission Men Think About the New System. ik Ben representative visited nearly all of the commission firms to get the sentiment of the weighing of stock as it is being done by the Western Weighing association aud In- spection bureau at South Omaha, The sen- timent is very positive and almost unani- mous against the system or against the workings: . C. Clifton, of Dorsey Bros. & Chifton, said: “Tae weighing is a farce. It 1sa benefit to the railroad companies and a curse to all shippers. shippers are injuriously affeeted, commni men are indirectly in- jured. Samuel Gosney, of the firm of Paddock & CGosney, thinks it benefits the railroad companics alone. “In all of our business,” he said, “the weighing association’s weights are heavier thau the actual weights; as an cxample, one lot of hogs yesterday weighed 10,000 pounds more by the new scale report than the weight. As an illustration of the unfairness and in of the new order of things, one of our shippers sent in a load of seventy-one light pis weighing 11,270 pounds, averaging only 158 pounds. He asked for'a small car, was furnished a large, 17,000-pound car and ' was charged for 17,000 pounds, although he only shipped pounds. In the beginniug, will injure the shipper, but it reduced and equalized so that no one sion buyers and will be injured. Regular loading shippers will be able to control the 50 a8 not to be injured.” John man, of Woods Bros., thinks “it is all right to weigh, but weighing should be done promptly, and stock should be run in the yards withiout delay. At times trains have been kept onthe sidetracks for two hours. 1f weighing cannot be done without delay with one setof scales, then sufficient should be put in to do the work without im- peding business. My only objection to weigh- ing isthe delay cansed> by Cweighing, o rather, the lack of weighing facilities. 1 think that within a month the rates will_ be reguiated 8o as to be satisfactory to all ship- pors, and the freight rates will mot be raised.” G. W. Jackson, of Jackson & Co., thinks “weighing is a nuisance. 1t is injurious to both shippers and commission men, and all ultimately falls on the shippers and raisers. Shipments, to Chicago for instance, have been detained until the second day, and sui have been brought for damages for delays. Some delay here but not much, but there would have be delay if recemts had been liberal on cattle and hogs.” 3. B. Ferrall, of Ferrall, Manley & Co., thinks ‘‘weighing ‘a_nuisance. It deiays stock and adds about 5 cents to expenses, all of which ultimately comes oft the raisers and shippers. 1t dclays business some.” James G. Martin, of Martin Bros,, has “not scen very much of weighing but hinks it hardly practical. The system will have to be in better shape than now to make it suc- cessful, and by the time railroads and pegple have had experience enough to know what it is, both will be tived of it.” J. A. Hake, of Rosenbaum Live Stock com thinks “the system a farce. Itis andle arrangement, all in favor of the’ railroad companics, and charges are made on the full capacity of the cars, and also all overweights, but’ deductions will not bo al- lowed for less than full capac The churges on a load of hogs from Wilcox, of 14,000 pounds, were between £3 and $ more than the former rate on cars containing 17,000 to 18,000 pounds. eth W. Eddy, of Boyer Bros., thinks ighing a nuisance. We kept three ship- pers hore a whole half a day begause we could mot get the associution weights. More than that, the sudden stoppage of the cars on the scales in order to weigh §fast in- jures the stock. We have had stock badly injured. Our shippers are kicking, as the new system costs nearly $2 a car more freight.” C. Haywood, of Ferrall, Manley & Co., “It is u direct stab'at the grangers and granger law, and 4 detriment to ship- Draper Smith, of Keenan & Smith, thinks “the system all wrong. It delays stock and with a heavy run would delay it from one to five hours. ~ Stock ought to be weighed if at all at point of shipment us is the case with all other freights.” Solomon Hopper, of Parkhurst, Hopper & Parker, has no opinion, as weighing has not been long enough to give a trial, J. H. Rothwell, of Creighton, shipper and feeder, started 'with one of the smallest Northwestern car with 20,000-1b capacity, containing seventeen cattle, weighing 00, and paid £39.20 freight. This 15 §.2) freight more than the former rate. | think it will raise the rates from the neighborhood of Creighton at least 25 per cent. Look at This.

Eo S A Preacher Turns Slugger, The troub! between the Central Christian church, of Columbus, O.,and its pastor, Rev. Fred Bell, culminated in a personal encounter at a mect- ing of the church officials, betweon the pastor and Elder Flinn, Rev. Bell came here some months ago, and, secur- ing this pastorate, soon began to draw such large congregations by his ssensa- tional sermons, that the church proved too small, and one of the opera houses was secured for the Sunday evening meetings. Suddenly there came bad re- ports following him from different places in Ohio where he had preached, and #lso from Beeoklyn and Nottin ham, accusing him of deserting his wife and defrauding creditors. The church officinls were divided upon the question of retaining him, and it was to discuss this question that the church officials met, Elder Flinn opposed the pastor, He gaid the church would be cowardly not to dismiss him. Rev. Bell was present and cnsae‘ell to answer, Elder Flinn rephed: *‘Fred Bell, I have in my pocket evidence that proves you agenuine fraud.” At this the pastor tried to make an assault on the elder, but was prevented by a brother, The discussion was soon after renewed,when Rey. Bell suddenly seized Elder Flinn aud bearing him down in a”pew choked him until he wasblack and blue in the face. Parties interferredand the meet- ing adjourned percipitately. It was at- tempted to keep the disgraceful affair secret, but it leaked out. RARE BARGAINS, Gennine Redunction Sale of Surplus Stock. SHOES FOR CASH. OVER & SCHOELPLY 1415 Douglas st.
