By 8 o'clock the promenades were again a jostling mass of people, and notwithstanding it was the seventh successive night of the great sport, there was no observaolo diminishment 'in tho intense rivalry that has reigned su- prome from the very outset. At 8:15 the band struck up that favorite old baliad, unheard of these many years, ontitled “‘Annic Laurie,” and amidst a din of frantic screams the Scottish chiefs filed down the long hull and took their positions on the piatform, They were quickly fol- lowed by the Bohemians, who are great favorites with the big crowd, and of course ware tendered another ovation. The Svots pulled and tugged and fumed and 'spired liko demons, but all to no_avail, for the Jithe aud practiced boys in cerulean tights, under the inteiligent commands of prain Percival, had theta over the line in exactly ten minutes, To the music of the band and 2,000 pairs of lungs the two teams marched back to the dressing room.

It wasa Cyclopean contest. but the black clad Danes were oo much for proud Columbin’s sons, and ten minutes later the Danish ensign was being flaunted aloft in victory.

GERMANY SUPPORTS BULGARLA. Drafting a-Treaty with the United States—Gossip from Paris. Pagis, Dee, 20.—M. Herbert, the French minjster at Berlin, has advised Foreign Min- ister Ribot that tho German government sup- ports Bulgaria in her attitude in the Chad- ouine affair and holds that M. Stambouloft had no option but to act as be did, aund that France is not justified in the rupture of re- lations with Bulgaria, The attitude of Ger- many as regards the affair, howover, will not alter M. Ribot's policy, which is approved by the wholo cabinet. A commu- nication to the press gives a forecast of M. Ribot's statement to be made in the chamber of deputies in reply to M. Millevoy's inter- pellation. In this statement the minister will maintain the illegality of the arrest and expulsion of M. Cbadouine ana will assert that the general hostility of the Bulgarian goverument was shown in the watching of the residence of M. Lauelle, the Frouch charge d’ affaives. At the same time he will anuounce the determiation of France not to submit to the violation of treaty rights, In rogard to the note sent to M. Cambon, the French embassador to Turkey, instruct- ing bim to present formulated domands to the porte for an apology from Bulgaris and that shie be made to rescind the ordor of ex- ulsion against Chadouine, it is now stated . here that semi-ofticial advices from Con stantinople are that the porte will reply that the matter is an iuternal affair of Bulgaria, which does not come under the jurisdiotion of its suzerain authority, and that as France only applied to the ports after the rupture it 13 impossible now to interfere. ‘The report that M. Ribot has recalled all tae French consuls in Bulgaria is premature. The government does not desire to precipi tate eventa. ‘The foreign office s drafting a treaty of commerce between the United States and France, Mr. Reid, the American ministor, whe intended to leave Paris yesterday for an extonded absence, has postponed his depart- ure with the view of expediting the treaty negotiations, Minister Patenote's salllog for New York yesterday was hastened by | the same cause.

He is firmly convincod that this is the only proper way to reach all classes of theutor-goors. “The la- fluences and tremendous power of the press as an advertising medium is making itself felt more and more every day in business and theatrical circles. A man who does not read the nowspapers nevor attends the theater,”” says Mr, Mansfield. *Tho wookly expenditure for printing au a low average is $150, which makes for a season of forty weeks #,000.

At the age of 16 he weighed 200 pounds and was as lithe ana supple asacat. After guitting thesea he learned the trade of silk weaving and became one of the finest workmen in the city in which ho worked. He came to the United States in May, 1840, He lived three years in Obio, went to Wis- consin from Ohio, and some twenty odd years ago moved to Burt county, this state.

The recent tour of inspection made by the members of the board to the prisons of a number of adjoining states will doubtless assisi thom in making thei selec- tion, 1t is known tnat some of the membors of the board favor the construction of steel cells nstead of stone, for tho reason that stoel cells aro more compact and are con- siderod more securg, The new cell houso will contain 240 cells, eighty of which will have to be furnished by the prison labor con- tractor.

For instance, 1 would let the conuract for caring for tho inmatos of the asylum for the incurabl inswio At Hastings at a stated price per day. I would have all other state iustitutions managed in the same way. Then, by requiring the contractor at each institu- tion to make a monthly report to the proper officials, the state’ would know to acent every month what the several asylums, homes, schools, éte/, were costin, i P bl i News frofit ‘West Point. ‘West Poixt, Neb,, Dec. 20.—Special ‘to Tug Bee.|— A fow Wealts ago Caspor Eber stein showed such unmistakable signs of in- sanity that he wus taken to the county jail to await the action of the board of insanity.

The democrats, of course, have the lieutenant governor, but hie has no vote on the passago of laws, It is not strango to loarn, then, that Senator Kn- holding the balance of power, has a schemo of his own for sottling tho prohibi- tion question, and that is, state control by seiling through agents who would receive u salury and be under bonds for zood behavior.

The significance of the figures, however, is destroyed by the fact that in two counties alone—Dubuque and Scott—the majority for tho democrat didates was 7,700, leaving the other wi soven counties clearly republican. towa’s Fair Commissioner:, The Towa World’s Fair commissioners havo been very busy the past week trying to arrive at some defitite conclusion as to the demands they will make of the coming legis- lature.

Fato has put most men under the yoke of the commonpluce, but in their breasts aro the promptings to noble action yoarning for opportunity and for recogaition. In such | characters as Yon Yonson men s0e the roflec- | tion of sentimonts which have stirrod thoir | own souls, and the spectator's ego, com- plex thing that it 1s, gathers from the pe formance an individual gratification, as though the action on thestage was an expros- sion of its own. Yon Yonson appeals to the noblest im- pulses of the human heart, giving it a strong hold upon the sympathy of an audience, and when to this is added the interpretation of | an artist it may bo inferred that the charac- terization is ous of raro intorost. Such was the case at the Boyd last night, when Mr. Gus Heege played the part to a houso that left standiug room only. Mr. Heege has achieved the distinction of adding to the | stage n new type of character, and that of itself is a notablo ovent. The majority of dialect comedians draw their lines broadly until thoir interpretations smack of bur- losque, but in Yon Yonson thers is no sug- gestion of carricature, Mr. Heege piotures a simple but honost young Swede with a nobility of charactor ihat touches the tender spot in the hoart, The uctor has studied the Scandinavian | accent and manner among the Swedes of | Minnesota, and his artistic treatment of Yon | Yonson is one of the fine bits of stage work | that will be memorable in years to come. Miss Annie Lewis as Jennio Morris makes A most charming soubrette, though that technical classification hardly does justice to the daintiness of hor work. Sho is sauc; vivacious and dashing without being vulgar: She has the trimmest of figures, and luckily does nobt demean herself by appearing in short skirts, She does a danco as prottily as Amelia Glover, and 1s us graceful as a ) gazello., | The play is billea as a farcical comedy, but | there is very little farco in it. It is roally o very good quality of comedy, with touches of pathos, a dash of molodrama and many exquisitely humorous situations. There is just a suggestion of villainy to bring out the Boodness of Yon Youson and othors moro strongly, but the story carries a lesson that is wnolly commendable, without a hint of vulgarity or indecenc: Mr. Heege 1s supported by an excellent company. Play and players delignted last night's audience and left their impress as one of the dramatic events of tho season. “Sport MeAlhstor Managor Burgess had a full house yester day afternoon and for more than two hours Robert Gaylor and his colleaguos kept tho i audience in alternating fits ot titters aud roars by the absurdities and drotleries of “Sport MeAllistor.” The piay i a farco comedy, ard, as tho author puts it, “simply attempts to knocic out the biues in three short and lively rounds,” in which it succeeds. A politi campaign furnishes matorial for the first act. The secoud is a burlesque on melodrama, and the third depicts McAllister's oxperisnccs “in the morning'” after election. A number of specialties add variety, Mr. Gaylor is sunported by a capable com- pany and they give a clean performatce of fun’ that will amuse and ploase the masses. i e LOCAL BREVITIE!
