Ford, just now re- turned from Manila, plainly” states that the American army now hoids less ground around the Philippine metropolis than at any time within the past four months; that the Filipino lines, pushed back again and again by brilliant sorties, return to their original position almost imme- diately and have actually gained on the Amerfcans “at many places. It may be added to this that no army of the size of that now battling in Luzon can stand a drain of fifteen or twenty Killed, fifty or more wounded and as many sick each day without being soon reduced to a minimum of effective strength. An army large enough and effective enough to set- tle the whole matter should be dispatch- ed as soon as_possible.

The practical side of the German na- tion is illustrated in the exhibition for the nursing of the sick which has just been opened in Berlin. It is said to be very complete, and to contain many interesting novelties in the way of new medical appliances. It includes a num- ber of model sickrooms fitted up and arranged for different diseases—a sick- room in the tropics department for invalid cookery partment for medicines and nourishing foods, a department for gymnastic and orthopoedic apparatus, a disinfecting amber, a complete Roentgen ray out- fit, etc. Among the more curious ex- hibits are some tinned provisions left from the Franco-Prussian war and still perfectly fresh, a very ingenious mech- anism, the invention of a Roumanian doctor, to produce deep and regular respiration by mechanical pressure ap- plied by pads placed around the body and kept working by an electromotor, and lastly, a patent bed to hang up be- tween trees, which its inventor, & Transylvanian, declares to be an in- fallible cure for insomnia and also for throat diseases. It is superior to a hammock because it can also be used as a boat, in proof cover is fastened over the lower part of the frame, while other parts of the frame are screwed together to make a paddle. This inventor says that he has traveled considerable distances by river in one of these contrivances. New York Evening Pos —_——— HAMLET PRODUCED By the Members of Russia’s Imperial Family. Shakespeare's “Hamlet” has recently had a more notable presentation than the one in which Mme. Bernhardt takes the role of the melancholy Dane. It was in St. Petersburg, and the cast was imperial. Every part—of actors, act- resses, prompter and all the rest—was taken by a member of the reigning fam- ily, and these high personages entered into the work with quite as mueh en- thusiasm and energy as any company to whom the proceeds meant bread and butter could possibly have done. Grand a de. Duke Constantine, who took the role of | Hamlet, had been preparing for nearly a vear, and his last visit to England was made for the sole object of con- sulting Irving, from whom he received a month’s drilling. It is'said that Irv- ing expressed himself surprised at the Duke's progress, highly complimenting him upon his acting. *“Not half of the actors on the English stage.” said Irv- ing, “can boast of your dramatic talent.

In pur- | | suance of his policy to abate what is | alleged to be a nuisance and a menace | | to public morals, District Attorney Mc- | Isaac appeared before the board to-day | and asked that he be given its indi-| | vidual support in taking further steps | to suppress the poolroom evil. When | | he had finished, the board members, | without giving the question any con- sideration, voiced their belief that “Sausalito is all right and should be left to settle its own destinies. | In asking for the sanction ! board to take further action, drew attention to an act of Legislature empowering the Attorneys of the various, counties to | take such steps as they'might deem | ynecessary to abate publig nuisances. He then presented the following reso. | lution and asked that it be adopted by | the board: | Whereas, A public nulsance exists in | the county of Marin in the form of pool: rooms in the town of Sausalito; be it Resolved, That the District Attorney is | her: ordered and directed to bring a civil action in the name of the people of | | the State of California to abate such pub- lic nuisance. In making his request MclIsaac said | | the poolrcoms &s conducted at Sausa- lito were a disgrace to any county, and | should be suppressed. He said criminal of the [ Melsaac | the last | District | actions had failed, but that, in his| | opinion, a civil suit would have the desired result. The apathy and indifference manifest- | | ed by the board were so marked that finally he took his documents and left the room in disgust. | Chairman Barr says Sausalito is capable of looking after itself. He doesn’t know whether or not he would favor any action by the board, even if the people there petitioned for ap abolition of the evil. Supervisor Ring's ideas were characteristic. He said: Sausalito is all right. Let her do as| she pleases. It is nobody else’s pie. They have good people down there, and |1 am not for interfering if I know my self, and I think I do.” | HIS BUSINESS. Was to Sell Trick Fixtures to Saloon | Keepers. | | “I used to be in the queerest business | { in the world,” said Louis Augustine, a | salesman now traveling for a Chicago notion house. “I was an agent for trick | | fixtures for bars. About fifteen years ago there was a craze for that kind of | thing, and saloons with innumerable | mechanical contrivances for practical jokes sprang up all over the country. The house I worked for made a special- | ty of equipping such establishments | throughout and had it reduced to a | science. We pu* in trick plants in | Chicago, San Francisco, Omaha, Den- | ver, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Louisville, Washington, New York, Newark, Buf- | falo, Indianapolis, Detroit, Kansas City | and a score of other places. Some of | | them were verv elaborate, and it was certainly ludicrous to see a victim | make a circuit of the premises. | “The innocent looking cigar lighter | | would spout water instead of fire; the | | call bell on the table gave one an elec- | tric shock; so did the arms of any easy | chair; an artificial snake popped out of the telephone box when the re-eiver | | was taken down; the viands on the| | lunch counter w re all made of papier mache, and the platform of a weigh- | | ing machine would buck like a kicking | | horse. The worst sell of the lot, and | | the feature that ultimately led to dis- | carding such tricks, was the collapsible | stairway, which would suddenly fold up under a man’s feet and treat him to an | unexpected toboggan slide. It was | usually reserved as a final torture, and it was only a matter of time when some | victim would land on the floor with a broken . limb. + least half a dozen cases I could cite resulted in heavy damage suits. and in the very nature of things the popularity of the trick saloen | | was necessarilv short-lived. At the | outset such a place would be a great | success, for the simple reason that each fellow who was sold immediately | rushed for a fresh dupe to get even, but after a while the supply of raw ma- | terial was bound to run short and the | jokes became stale and flat. It was im- | Dossible to keep them varied on ac- count of the cost of the apparatus, and the craze wore itself out in a few years. At present only two houses of that kind are In existence in the whole country.” ————— WOMAN’S HAT Fooled a Judg:,:nd He Ordered It Removed, But Changed His Mind. A young woman whose attire included crash hat perched jauntily upon her head a white ministerfal collar, a bow tie and | a jacket with wide lapels entered Judge | Stein’s courtroom Monday afternoon and | occupied a chair at a table within the bar rall. Soon after the appearance of the | newcomer Judge Stein happened to glance | in_her direction. The intervening table prevented his Honor from getting a ful view of the young woman. He saw the | | hat, coat, mnecktie and collar, however. | Motioning to Bailiff Healy, he sald: “Go over and tell that xoung man to re- | move his hat.” | “Why, that is a_woman, your Honor,” | protested the bailiff. “A woman?” queried the court, straight- ening up and gazing doubtingly. *Well, | never mind, then.” continued his Honor, | settiing back in his chair and chuckling to himself.

Now, the crown has the absolute right to grant or withhold at its pleasure its license and authority for a change of name, and if all one hears be correct al- | most as many applications are refused as | are granted. Needless to’ say, the re- fusals are not the personal refusals of her Majesty, but emanate from the home of- fice, through which all petitions pass, and the home office has assumed to itself the decision as to whether or not a case shall be put forward for the personal consider- ation of her Majesty. In no circumstance can any one compel either the home of- fice to put forward a petition or her Maj- esty to grant her license. But, judging from past experlence, one Is able to in- dicate generally the cases In which an application Is likely to be successful. To | begin with, no case has ever been known in which the crown has refused its li- cense for any change or ass which is conformity with either a will or settlement, so that it may be taken for granted that application for 2 roval license in pursuance of either a will or settlement will be granted with- out the least difficulty being raised. Applicants desiring to assume a name under other circumstance: must show what the crown can consider to be good and sufficient reason why the change should be effected. The refusals a to which one hears occasionally do not all seem to be indicated from identical rea- s, but it is difficult to get exact pa ticulars of such cases, and though one would hesitate to say that the granting f a royal license upon a voluntary appli- cation was a matter of the caprice of the officers, one cannot, however, definitel that such and such a caseé would be invariably refused. Consequent- 1y one can only indicate the probabiliti of consent or refusal. These will usually be found to be somewhat as follows, though, as each case has its special ci cumstances, it difficult to speak with any ‘An application to nty. ume a name where no descent can be shown from any family of such name and where it is merely a matter of personal caprice is almost in- variably refus plication to assume from whom descent in the female line exists is generall granted if it can be shown that the fe male of that name through scent is proved was an heraldic 1 blood, or where the applicant can show that hé is an heir of line of any An_application put forward in a case of adoption to assume the name of the guardian ally granted if the application is made by the guardian and in his life but_the mat- fer is on an entirely_different footing if the application is made merely at the ca- price of the ward, and after the death of the guardian, when the latter has left ehind him no indication of his wish that his ward should adopt his name. An ap- lication to assume the particle “De” In Front of a name is usually granted where unquestionable evidence can be procured of descent from an ancestor who so wrote his name. The application of a husband to assume his wife's name is usally governed by the fact of the heirship or otherwise of the wife. If she be an heiress in blood the ap- plication is usually granted, but if no infrequently refused in cases to the comn trary. But the crown does not sanction the “assumption o the wife while her husband i band joins in the petition to assume the me name.—Genealogical Magazine. —_————— BLONDINED DOG. Matched His Owner’s Costume With~ out Injuring the Canine. “During the occupation of Paris at the close of the Franco-Prussian war, said a veterinary surgeon this city, “the Frenchmen used to catch the small white poodles belonging to German of- ficers and dip their hindauarters in blue dye and their forequarters in red, transforming them into animated cop- jes of the French flag, greatly to the wrath and disgust of their owners. The only other instance of dved dog of which I have any personal knowledge came under my observation a few weeks ago, when a lad brought me a pet spaniel to treat for an ulcerated paw. The little fellow was a sort of tawny yellow, quite different from any spaniel I had ever seen, but when T came to. examine him closely I found that he had been ‘blondined ’ exidently by peroxide of hydrogen. His natural color was steel gray, and the fur at the roots showed it unmistakably. The lady was . an_ actress, who was passing through here on her way to New York, and when she called for her pet I inci- dentally referred to the dyeing. She laughed, and admitted at once that she had colored the fur to match a favorite costume, adding that she had been as- sured by a doctor that the process was As far as I could see, the dog’s health was not affected. He certainly looked very odd, and I must admit rather pretty. When the blondine begins to wear off, however, he will be a holy terror.’ ew Orleans Times-Democrat. —_———— e 4 Maggie (to her stepfather, who is very popular with the children)—Oh, I wish you had been here when our papa was alive.
