MY 1 RIEND FROM INDIA" AT THE
GRAND.
Empire Opm House Observes Ilie Firut
Anniversary of lt« Opening Advance
Notices.
The well known comedy “My Friend
from India" made its appearance at the
Grand last evening and "W* greeted by
the usual good-sized audience. The play
was as funny a. usiml. if m* funnier
and the members of the company knew
and acted their parts in a manner that
Has refreshing. May Yoke* as Tilly.
Ihe German Housemaid was decidedly
good and she kept the audience laugh-
ing all the lime ~he was on the stage.
Her song “Billy" was new anil made a
deeidixl hit so much so that the male
portion of the audience left the show
whistling the tunc. Several good spec-
ialties were introduced during the ac-
tion of the play notable among them
being “Ma Tiger Lilly” by the entire
company. Lewis Peters in the title of
Augustus Keen Shaver did some good
eomcdv work ami soon won the hearts
of his hearers.
'llie play h woven around the rieb
Uuderlmlt family late of Kansas City
whose sole object in life is to get into
society in their m-w home. New York
City.' After months of failure the old
man is aliout to give up in disgust and
return ihome. when his son. who is sow-
ing his wiki oats gives 'him an idea
a hieh he seizes and works on to n (his
own) tiiiwh. The aon. while on a spree
meets Augustus Keen Shaver a barber
and takes him home with him. On so
Bering up the next morning la-fore the
barber awakes he tries to remember
where lie got the fellow and who he is
but fails. He thereupon takes bis
guest’s clothes and searches them to as-
certain his identity but can only find a
well thumbed copy of “Ilie Light of
A«i.s." and some liarber soap advertise-
ments. He concludes -that his friend is
a theosophist nnd alxmt this time the
elder Underwood appears to lecture his
son for his conduct on the previous
night. The German servant girl also
appears and takes away the
barbers clothes. The young man
explains h™ absence ou the pre-
vious evening by saying he was
imbibing wisdom from an Indian prince
a theosophist. and at this juncture the
barber rushes out calling for his clotlie*
and wrapped in a yellow silk lied
spread. Young Underholt introduces
him to his father as his friend from In-
dia and expects after the old man quiets
down. U> get the fellow out anil speed
him away hurt the elder Underholt
learning or believeing that the man le
a theosophUt a disciple of a fad about
whiej society is sirazy decides -to use
him to break into its ranks ami engages
him on the spot to remain in his house
to appear at -octal functions and gives
him $lOOO as a retainer. Shaver is
afraid of being arrested as an imposter
ami tries to explain but the old man
will not hear to it and be is told to re-
main. Desperate. Shaver calls for a
policeman to complain that Iris clothing
has been stolen but Young Underholt
who knows the policeman anil is also
responsible indirixlly for the clothes in-
forms tlie limb of the law that the fel-
low in the yellow lied spread is his
crazy brother'and the officer consequent
ly laughs at his appeals and when he
tries to iwciqie drags him back. Young
Underholt in the beginning when trying
to select a name for the new found
friend scans the list of New York .steam-
ship arrival* ami selects that of “.las.
Tweedie. Boston" for the theosophist.
to fool his father. The old man rushes
to the newspapers and ha* the story of
the Indian Primes arrival printed
IroadeastMtating in all articles that the
fellow is at his house. The news cre-
ates a sensation in Boston where Mr.
Tweedie is a well known minister.
Tweedie goes to New A ork to unfath-
om the mystery and clear himself and
ap|M«rs at the Undcrholt mansion.
Young Undcrholt in the meantime to
get his friend out of the mess has dis-
guised as Rev. Tweedie and Keen Shav-
7r. to effect his esca|>e disguises as the
elder Vndetrholt's sister. The complica-
tions that ensue are ridiculous and
laiigable and continue to the close when
the proposed great reception which is to
git the Underholts into society does
not occur for the reason that Tilly the
servant girl forgot to mail the invita-
tions. Tins is a great relief to all par-
ties except the old man. who decides to
return to Kansas City ami let society
-*o its wav without his family.

WAYS OF RUSSIAN POLICE.
A New York tourist writes 'to a friend
in this country the following experience
with the Russian police:
“I arrived in Moscow armed with a
faultless passport which 1 at once gave
up to the police according to regu-
tions. ; >
"On my third evening in Moscow at
10 o’clock a policeman in plain clothes
summoned me from the family circle
around the Samovar and told me that
I must present myself at the police sta-
tion at once. 1 begged my host to ac-
company me. ami told the policeman
that we would come without delay.
“ ’But you must come with me’ he
replied. It was a formal arrest then.
"At the station we found the officials
engaged with another case which kept
us waiting an hour Mid a half. Mean-
while I had been ransacking my con-
science. but could remember no crime
that would warrant this midnight ar-
rest.
"Finally the official nt the desk hand-
ed my passport with a smile.
“ 'lt is quite correct’ he said. I
waited wondering what was coming
next.
“ It is al! right. I say you may go’
the officer graciously repented. Then
my anger rose.
“ ‘Did you arrest me at midnight to
tell me that?’ I asked.
“ ‘Certainly. We were obliged to re-
turn tlie jMrssport to you in person with-
in three days. So we had to summon
you tonight.’
“ 'Gooir—-
“ ‘Now. just keep quiet will you?'
said the little official severely.
“ ‘Congratulate yourself that your
pa'*port has been found correct.'
“I retired gnashing my teeth. In
tlie antechamber I found my policeman
who raised his cap and inked for n jiour-
lioire.
“ ‘What?’ I yelled in angry amaze-
ment.
“ ‘But. little father 1 took the trou-
ble to conduct you here. Are you not
going to give me tlie price of a glass?’
“I gave it.”

THE NIGHT SINGER.
When the soil has lied o'r the uwtinUins
gray
And 'lid down the golden West
And the birds of the day have flown
uway
In their own home nests to rest
How sweet to the soul are the notes
that roll
From Ilie depths of the darkened vale.
When fall* on the ear. entrancing and
dear
Tlie song of the nightingale.
When the Mtn had lied o'r the mountains
guy
And the shadows gather near
Comes the solar thought with a sad-
iii'ss fraught
And n sense of gloom and fear.
From the sky of night falls the dim
cold light
Of the far-off planets. ]h>lc
And the In-art is cliillcd till with new
ho|>e filled '
By song of the nightingale.
Then Idcss'd lie the bird whose sweet
notes are heard.
When the gloom-wrap'll night doth
creep
Like a grnve-looMil ghoul to harass the
soul
With its chilling ahadows deep.
Who weaveth a song that is helpful
strong
That maketh the said heart light;
Who voices its <4ieer in melodies cleat
From depths of the sombre night.

MAN THAT ENGLAND CAN T CATCH
Of a piece with the vividly intimate
sketches of prominent hien which tne
World's Work has been presenting from
itis first mimbiT is that of General De-
Wet in the M.iroh mimlxT by Howard
C. Hillcgas. "Like Yankee Doodle.”
General De Wet "wears a feather in his
eap" and it is his only badge of author-
ity in tlie daring guerilla warfare he is
waging. Stories of his wit give a new
side to his dmracter:
By his men lie is regarddl as tlie
greatest humorist in the commandos
and they are constantly enjoying his
jokes. Not long ago he promised three
prisoners their freedom if they agreed
Io carry a message to their general.
I'he nies-age which tlie British general
read was: ‘•Please chain these ihree
men; I am catching them every day.”
In April he and lil’tewi of his men rode
Io DeWetsdorp where he was born for
the purpose of visiting hfe father. Late
in the evening they discovered that Me-
'/iioenie's Irish Fusiliers three hundred
strong occupied tlie town. Promptly
lio sent this grim message to tlie Brit-
sb commander: “Surrender or we
diall annex you.” At sunrise next
morning DeWet had his entire common-
lo on tlie spoe and after a short battle
he Fusiliers were captured.

BLAMED FOR RIOT.
Army Officers Say Abolition of
teen is Cause of Highwood
Trouble.
Regular army men connected with
the offices of the department of the
lakes in the Pullman building declar-
ed that the abolishment of the canteen
at military posts was directly respon-
sible for the disorderly conduct of the
soldiers that participated in the sa-
loon brawls at Highwood. 111. recently.
Highwood is just a mile south of the
Fort Sheridan barracks. The soldiers
cannot get beer any more in the pret-
ty little cottage on the reservation
where the canteen was formerly kept.
Consequently they go to Highwood
where they wind up with whisky.
General Otis commander of the de
partment of the lake says:
“I was one of the officers detailed
to study the operation of the military
post canteen and note its effect on the
men. I had alwa/s been opposed to
the canteen but after investigation I
was compelled to indorse it. Under
the system the profits of the canteen
went to buy delicacies for the soldiers’
table so that they got the full benefit
of all that was spent for beer on the
reservation. Now the soldiers spend
more and the profits go to the owners
of private gin mills.”
An Honest Medicine for La Grippe.
George W. Waitt. of South Gardiner
Me. says: “ I have had the worst
cough cold chills and grip and have
taken lots of trash of no account but
profit to the vendor. Chamberlain’s
Cough remedy is the only thing that
has done any good whatever. I have
used one bottle of it and the chills
cold and grip have all left me. I con-
gratulate the manufacturers of an hon-
est medicine.” Sold by all druggists.

AMERICAN SCHOOL SYSTEM
Exhibit Prepared for the Buffalo Expo-
sition.
The American educational exhibit pre-
pared for the Buffalo Exposition is being
shown in various English cities and is
causing iisioni'iiment at the superior-
ity and perfection of I lie American sys-
tem. At MancKester this week there
were over a tliousand visitors daily
eachers mid memlwrs of boards from
manv cities were there all seeking to
gain new ideas.
It is generally admitted that the
American schools are far aliead of the
English both in methods and _ scope.
Many educators cxpres-cd surprise at
tlie extent of drawing taught in Ameri-
ca. It is almost unknown in English
schools. The manual training nnd
higher technical instruction of both pub-
lic schools and colleges greatly interest-
ed the visitors.
The result probably will be tlie intro-
duction of many American methods into
tlie educational system of England. No
radical innovations peril*™ but ft
gradual remodeling on tlie lines of the
best American institutions.

FRENCH DUELS ARE BDDODLESS.
A French journal has been explain-
ing how it is duels so rarely result in
injuries to the combatants. It suggests
that the bullets used are frequently
composed of mercury and lead vfliich
in weight and general appearance are
almost perfect counterfeits except for
a slightly silver shade and greasy touch.
Though heavy and solid-looking the
first blow of the ramrod pulverizes them.
All sorts of precautions are taken
against this kind of deception. Pistol
duels arc never fought with revolvers
or weapons requiring trigers which do
not present tlie necessary quantities;
but such duels are fought with old-
fashioned muzzle-loading pistols. In-
deed it is not uimsiuil for seconds to
agree on some celebrated “armurier”
who shall furnish a sealed box of weap-
ons containing two pistols scaled nnd
certified n number of similarly certified
charges of powder and hiillets. Trickery
would therefore seem impossible.
Tn spite however of all these precau-
tions the benevolent fraud goes on.
There arc usually four seconds—two for
each combatant. As it is easier for two
men to come to nn understanding Ilian
four the pnir that have agreed to pre-
vent bloo-l'lw'd manage to take charge
of the loading while their confreres are
listening to the last nervous recommen-
dations of the principals.
