igl THE FITTSBTJBG- DISPATCH, THURSDAY. MARCH 3, .189a. 9 1 t - f NO JEMPORAL POWER For the Pope Is Possible Either. Now or in the Future, Says a LEADING CATHOLIC OF ENGLAND. Secretary Lilly Kot in Favor of force to Restore It Brute HAPPENINGS BETOND THE BIG POND. Losdox, March 2. William Samuel .Lilly, Secretary of the Catholic Union of Great Britain, presiding at the annual re union of Boman Catholics at Birmingham, delivered a sensational address on the sub ject of the temporal power of the Papacy, which is certain to attract the attention of the Vatican and of the whole Bonian Catho lic world, and, indeed, of the Prctestant world as well, on account of Mr. Lilly's learning and statesmanship and his many contributions to literature and the leading periodicals on historical and religious sub jects. Few men would command so general respect when speaking from within the ranks of the Eoimsh organization, and what he has said is full of good sense and political sagacity, whatever bias he may labor under a- an adherent of Komanism. Lilly said that the temporal power of the Pope has always been an artificial institu tion, e en in the most favorable circum stance that have existed in the history of the Boniish hierarchy, and that it is now practically dead, and is never likely to be revived. The Qnirip.al's Peace Oflerliig. He contends that the Papal guarantee bill in Italy is a delusion and a snare, devised only to quiet the Vatican and quite impos sible as a practical measure in the existing political conditions, or in any that can aric in the future. He claims, as a corrol lary of the abolition of the temporal power, that the spiritual independence of the Pa pacy, and the material means by which that independence is upheld, should be placed under the protection of the public law of Europe, and he justifies Pope Leo XIIL and his predecessor, Pius IX., in rejecting the oiler of an annual allowance from the Italian Government under the law of guar antees. In other words, he makes everr possible claim for ihe preservation of theTbest possi ble position for the Roman See, while stat ins the utter folly ol the very claims upon which the Pope and his advisers most stren uously insist. He assumes the attitude of a faithlul Boinanist while showing the ab surdity of the Iloman Catholic position. Brute Force Emphatically Condemned. Mr. Lilly declares that he can conceive nothing more disastrous to the Boman Catholic cause, or a deadlier blow to the Bope's moral influence throughout the world, or a greater triumph to the enemies of the Pope, than an attempt by brute force to restore the temporal power.even over the small area of the Citv of Bome, to sav othing of the old "States of the Church." The significance of this utterance is fully shown when it is compared with the virtu ally simultaneous utterances of Leo XIIL, who, yesterday, on the eve of his birthday, which is to-dav, at a solemn audience in the throne room of the Vatican, to the members of the College of Caidinals, enunciated his determination to still fight for the two guid ing principles of Pope Innocent IIL, whose reign was cotemporaneous with the Magna Cfcarta of England 1198 to 1216 namely, the redemption of the hcly places and the independence of the Church. The common sense of a statesman, scholar and secular man of affairs, who is, at the tame time, a Boman Catholic, is in strong contrast to the other utterances of the Pope, and particularly notable since he says all he can in favor of the Bomish Church as a continuous political society. THE GBEEK KILL WILL APPEAL. The Chamber Prorogued and the Old Min istry Peremptorily Dismissed. Athens, March 2. The Chamber will be prorogued to-day until March 6. An early dissolution is considered certain, in view of the vote of confidence in the Delyannis Ministrv adopted by the Chamber yester day. J.he Jving na never belore met with such opposition.

As soon as the new Ministry is completed, the Chamber, with which it cannot co-exist, will be dissolved and an appeal made to the country.

DESPEKATE TJHEMPIOYEDl German 'Workmen Attack Polish Laborers in the Streets orHanovcr. Berlin, March 2. A large number of unemployed workmen of Hanover marched in procession to the municipal canal works in that city to-day, and de- -manded the discharge of all the Polis-h laborers. Their demand being refused, they made an attack on the Poles, and a number were injured in the fight which followed. A detachment of armed police suppressed the riot aud arrested the leaders. In Leipsie to-day 1,000 men out of work tried to parade the streets in a body, but were dispersed by the'police. Tlie Kaiser Still Popu'ar TVlth Labor. BERLIN, March 2. The lieidnanger says that Emperor William has received t large number of letters from workinemen, in which they express regret for the" disturb ances that .broke out in Berlin Thursday last. The writers assure His Majesty that the loyaltv of theworkingmen remains un. shaken. The confidence of the Emperor, in riding through the excited crowds Friday last, seems to have specially impressed the people. A Protest by the American Minister. ' Constantinople, March 2. Mr. Hirsch, tb.e American Minister, has received a re ply to the protest to the Porte against the decree compelling foreign schools to obtain official permits. The reply is, in effect, that the British Embassy has already ac cepted the decree. Americans bere believe that Mr. Hirsch's vigorous protest will lead to a cautious execution of the decree. A Socialistic Leader Drowns Him-fir. Berlin, March 2. Herr Beinier, leader of the Hamburg Socialists, drowned himself in the Itiver Ulster to-day. He suffered from an incurable disease. Socialists Disown the Riots. ,BEiiLi2r. March 2. At a meeting of 2,000 Socialists to-day the speakers denounced the charge that Socialists originated and took part in the recent riots in this city. A solution was adopted declaring that it is tne true doctrine of Socialists to abstain from disorders, as such conduct only furnishes the Government with a pretext for the adoption of repressive measures. A Crank Motion lb the House of Xiords. London, March 2. In the House of Lords, Baron Denmana, whose oddities the House usually passes over in silence, moved the repeal of the local government acts for England and Scotland, on the ground that they had been passed in a hurry.

The Baptist Council Recommends the Trustees to Reslffn and Apolojjlze They Take the First, bnt Not the La ft. Ad vice The Tastor, Also, Steps Down. Oil Citv, March 2. Special Bev. C A Adams. D. D., of Franklin, preached last night at the Baptist Church in this city. After the sermon the members of the con gregation were requested to remain and hear the findings of the recent council of ministers and laymen called to adjust, if possible, the difficulties existing in the church. The findings of the council were then read. The chief feature ot these findings was that portion which censured the mem bers of the board of trustees for exceeding their authority in sending a letter to the pastor, in which he was given notice that they would not be responsible for liissalary after the expiration of his second v'ear as pastor of the church, which year ex pired the 16th of last month. In the judg ment of the council, two ot tlie trustees, Levi Vredenbnrg and "W. P. Fornof, should resign and apologize, ac knowledging that they had ex ceeded their authority. Mr. Vredenburg, with the other members, resigned as trustees, and Mr. Vredenburg last night resigned his position as deacon, but did not tender and apology. Mr. Fornof was not present. The council did not make any recom mendation as to what course the pastor, Bev. H I. McKeever, should pursue, but in the course of the trouble that gentleman had explained that, while he desired to resign, he did not feel that he could do so honorably, on account of the attitude the Board of Trustees had assumed toward him. The findings of the council made no suggestion on this point, but at the meeting last night, the Board of Trustees having resigned, the pas tor tendered his resignation, to take effect June 30. A meeting will be held to-night to elect another Board ot Trustees. NOW HE'S A MOBDEKEE. The Hero of the New York Express Robbery Said to Be Red-Handed. I Lyons, March 2. Spo-iA It is report ed heie that a letter has been received by the bheriff saying that the train robber, Oliver Curtis Perry, now in jail, is wanted 111 Minnesota on the charge of a double murder. When called upon to-day Deputy Sheriff Collins refused either to affirm or to deny the receipt of such a let ter, but intimated that it was true. When pressed he refused to give any particulars. Perry's refusal to give any account of his whereabouts during the interval between the TJtica train robbery and the attempt in Lyons, although he talks very freely about these two incidents, and the further fact that he has exhibited a dread of being interviewed by detectives, gives color to the re port that he has committed more serious crimes than those which he has confessed. Deputy Sheriff Collins refuses to allow Perry to be interviewed on the subject PIIISBTJEG ACC0BDIHGLY LEF1 The Denny Lyons Case Laid on the Table by the Directors. New YORK,March 2. After the adjourn ment of the baseball convention to-night the Board of Directors held a session. The Lyons case came up for consideration and was laid on the table.

None of. the injured will die, but Andrus and Miss Haggerty are fearfully disfigured by burns and gashes from broken glass. A Baby With Four Teet and Four Hands. Burlington:, Ia., March 2. Mrs. K.

CHANGESIN BATIONS AND CLOTHES, And Encampment Eecommendations That Will Work Eeforms. EATINGS OF THE DIFFERENT BEGIMEXTS IfTT.ClAI. rTX.TOK.JM TO TUB DISPATCH.t Harrisburg, March 2. Acting Adju tant General Krumbhaar has been pushing the reports at headquarters and to-day the manuscript was placed in the hands of .the State printer. .Major General jSnowden's report is quite voluminous and covers the operations of the guard very fully. He re fers in complimentary terms to the admir able movement of troops during the coke riots and adds: "It is gratifying to regard this swift and formidable demonstration as an illustration of the ability of the entire division instantly to respond to calls of a like or even more serious nature." Considerable space is devoted in the re port to the ceremonies incident to the dedi cation of the Hartranft Monument erected by the guard. He deplores the departure from the table of rations heretofore in use at camp and thinks the issue of butter, milk, eggs and fresh beets, corn, tomatoes, not to speak of watermelons and the like, is an innovation open to serious consideration. He thinks the extra expense on this Ecore would probably be sufficient to support an other troop of cavalry and another batterv. He also deprecates so much baggage in camp and thinks this is a matter which ought to be prescribed in regulations from the highest source. Officers Must Not Mess With Men. There is censure, too, of officers messing with their men at camps on State rations. "An officer has recently been tried," he says, "for taking some ot the rations for use at an officer's mess. While the verdict of acquittal has not met with my approval, the trial will doubtless stop like offenses in the future." Hereafter all the officers will be required to have separate messes of their own. The report states that the suggestion : to enlist company cooks would, if adopted, obviate the dancer of the companies beine left in an emergency without persons skilled in cooking. With respect to uniform the Major Gen eral recommends new overcoats, uniform shirts of a dark color and a serviceable shoe fit for camp and campaign duty. He ap proves the use of leggings and the armv fa tigue hat instead of the helmet The in spections, he says, were close, exacting and complete. Regarding rifle practice he pro tests against the efforts of the General In spector of Eifle Practice to interfere with the line officers by the proposition to mus ter out companies" which have not qualified a certain number of marksmen. He re marks that the duties of the Inspector Gen eral were fulfilled by observing the manner in which instructions and practice were car ried out and not in taking command to carry them out himself. Considerable space is given to the discussion of the proposed re organization of the guard on the battalion basis. The charges of mi-conduct involv ing the Thirteenth Infantry were found to be without foundation. The example of Colonel Hulings putting his men into camp outside the regular encampment is com mended. As to the presence of the guard at.the World's Fair, he thinks the time se lectedfrom the 5th to the 20th of August, 1893 is the most suitable. As to the Third Brigade. General Gobin says in the report of the Third Brigade that there has been no change in the organization and that the reg iments have maintained their organizations intact . A'feature has been the organization and arming of several cadet confpanies in connection with or under the supervision of regular commands. These are intended to prepare men to enter the guard when of proper age. The inspections were rigid and exactin'g and to him eminently satisfactory. The various organizations appeared with full rauks at the brigade encampment at Mount Gretna. The commissariat was in' every respect satisfactory, the sanitary con dition excellent and the discipline unexcep tionable. The routine work and drill were entered into with commendable zeal and a marked improvement seemed to follow each day's operations. He calls attention to the necessity for an entire new equipment for the battery. The rifle practice produced results exceeding his most sanguine expectations. There was a gain of 518 marksmen over the previous year. It is startling to think of the execu tion which could be accomplished by such a body of soldiery, capable, with the im proved weapons in rapid firing, of loading aud firing from 12 to 13 times a minute. The Third Brigade won the brigade trophy at the annual rifle match at ML Gretna and thereby becomes the "permanent owner. General Gobin is not favorably impressed with the perfection of the changes in tactics recently recommended by a board ot offi cers and approved by the Secretary of War. It is evident that the radical changes made by these tactics will require judicious, careful work, which cannot too soon be begun. He suggests the propriety of issuing an easy, low-heeled, broad-soled army shoe. They would protect the feet of the men and be inexpensive. If the na tional guard is to keep pace with the march of progress and, produce the army of the future with change of tactics and move ments, it should also be made to conform throughout to the new and changed condi tions. He deplores the loss of a valuable staff officer in the resignation of Major Everett Warner, Judge Advocate. Prai-a for the Western Boys. General Wiley, of the Second Brigade, refers at length in his report to the strike in the coke regions last spring and the ad mirable conduct of the troops detailed for duty during the trouble. He returns his most grateful thanks to Colonel Hawkins, of the Tenth Begiment, Colonel Smith, of the Eighteenth Begiment, and every com manding officer and man of these com mands for their splendid service while on duty in the coke regions. The spring in spictions of the brigade, General Wiley says, show a marked improvement over the previous year. He calls attention to the unnecessarfadditions made to the issue ot the Commissary Department ot green corn, milk, butter, eggs, etc., during the en campment, which should not be issued at all. A good full army ration is sufficient for camps and campaigns. It is not his be lief that soldiers are not fond ot these arti cles and they should never eat them. Two or three issues will entail the belief that they are part of the rations and without them dissatisfaction tnd complaints accu late. Then the cost is considerable. Brigadier General Dechert, of the First Brigade, in his report gives the strength of the brigade as 178 officers, 2,475 enlisted inca, a total of 2,053, a gain ot 27 enlisted men and 23 officers over last year. He re grets that a comparatively small portion of the command paraded at the spring inspec tion, as he thinks these are a better test of the general standing of the companies than the inspection at the annual encampment, when every effort is made to secure - the at tendance of the men of the commands. The Third Regiment Troubles. He suggests that the equipments of some companies be renewed, and asks for modern practical guns and eauipments for the bat tery. The Second .Begiment, he savs, is about to build a new armory on Broad street, Philadelphia, and he appeals to the generosity of the citizens to aid in its speedy construction. General Dechert regrets the dissensions in the Third Begiment which hare seriously impared its discipline and usefulness and resulted in the courtmartial and dismissal of Colonel William B. Smith. The General compliments the First troop on its efficiency and regrets that it was not allowed to participate as a separate com pany at the ML Gretna 'rifle contest. The General mentions the conflict with the civil authorities over the Hartranft range at lrankford, which was finally abandoned as dangerous to life, and hopes to secure' a suitable range this spring. Quartermaster General Greenland in his report strongly advocates taking the Na tional Guard to the Columbian Exposition. He says it is entirely practicable, would cost but little more than a division camp within the State,vand would afford an op portunity to 75 per cent of the members of the guard to visit the Fair who otherwise would not be able to attend. The Spring sAd Fall Ratines. Inspector General McKUbben accompanies the tabulated statement of the ratings of the different regiments with, a report in which he recommends that inspection by brigade inspectors be made hereafter in January or February, that the reports may be more early available and speaks of the poor condition of the equipments of the fuard in general. He found that the rigades while in camp made rapid improvement, and suggests that it the First and Second Brigade inspections had been held a few days later their ratings would have been much higher. He also points out the necessity for attaching more importance to the inspections made by brigade inspec tors. The Inspector General calls attention to the number of instances of officers, men and musicians departing from the prescribed uniforms. The following tabulated statements give the results of the spring aud fall inspections of 189L At the spring inspections the pos sible general average is placed at 80; in the fall at 100. This must be borne in miud when comparing the results of the two inspections. TIRST brigade. O) 4j 1 CO M 2 2 ORGAVIZA- I" OKOANIZA- g g TIOS a t I TIOX 2! " ? I I P First troon. Company E.

Tiffin, O., March 2. Fritz Grummel, of this city, is a pioneer in one line at leasL He can boast of being the first man on record arraigned, tried, con victed and committed by telephone. Grummel was arrested for disorderly con duct and appeared in the police court to answer that charge. The Mayor presides in police court trials in this city, and Grum mel vas the only offender in court. Mayor Abbott lives 10 or 15 squares from the Police Court and was indisposed. Ac cordingly he had the accused arraigned and heard the plea of "not guilty" by tele- Ehone. The prosecuting policeman was eard, and ;then the statement of the de fendant, both talking through the tele phone. The Judge then summed up the evi dence, sentenced the prisoner and committed him to jail, all by telephone. The prisoner was hustled off to prison, but now his attorneys will contest, claiming the whole affair was absurd and "illegal," and that as a matter ot fact their client was never in court, never tried, and is therefore illegally held.

When Fitzsimmons entered the ring a shout of applause went up, and it was quite evident that whatever the views of the sporting men as to the fight, the popular feeling was with the Australian. When his coat was removed his audience was able to appreciate his magnificent muscular devel opmenL His legs still have the appearance of being weak and undersized, and this was more than ever apparent, because his body looks. So Much Larger Than Formerly, with the 16 pounds he has added since he met Dempsey, bnt a closer inspection of the legs showed that, while undersized, they were not weak, for they appeared all muscle, and the sinews stuck ouL His chest devel opment was even more marked than before, and his long arms were undoubtedly fuller, but no one could say that this was due to any excess of flesh, tor .nowhere did the flesh show, and he. seemed a bundle of muscle and sinews. A glance, however, convinced everyone that he was a much heavier and stouter man than before. The universal verdict was that he slipped into the ring a better man than when be fought Dempsey, and Fitzsimmons stock rose appreciatively when the audience saw him stripped and ready for the fray. Fitzsimmons was seconded by Jimmie Carroll, Joe Choynski, Aleck Greggains and Jim Robertson. The timekeepers were announced as B M. Frank for the club, George B. Clark for Fitz, and P. Donohue for Maher. DETAILS OF THE BATTLE. Fitzsimmons Has the Adrantaso From Kound 1 to Bound 12 One of the Greatest Pugilistic Parties Ever Seen How the Fight Was Lost and Won.

The decorum was something wonderful, and stamps again the Olympics great name for fairness and managerial ability.

He certainly proved a wonderful fighter to night, and his cleverness with both hands was really marvelous, and it is bat fair to say that there are few tricks in the ring and few hits that Fitzsimmons is unacquainted with. MAHER NEVER IN IT. Consensus of Opinion of the Experts Who Witnessed the Fight London' Interest in the Meeting What the Best Wit nesses of the Battlo Think of the Out come. After the fight the leading sporting men present, fighters, newspaper men, sports and others, gathered in the rooms of the Olympic and discussed the fight and the merits of the men. Charley Mitchell and Slavin were to gether. Said Mitchell, with emphasis, when asked his opinion: "Maher ought to be ashamed to own himself an Irishman, and Irishmen ought to be ashamed that he is one of them. He is the most cowardly fighter, to my mind, that ever stepped into the ring. Fitzsimmons, on the other hand, is a won derfully clever fighter, and a surprise." "I agree with that opinion," chimed in Slavin, who was standing near. "I knew Maher would not win because Madden was behind him. Fitzsimmons is very clever and very shifty, and handled himself splen didly from start to finish. I am more than pleased at the result because Madden was behind him. Maher is a man who was built up and advertised on the achievements of other people." Both Mitchell and Slavin agreed in saying that the fight, in its conduct, was the finest that they ever witnessed in this or any other country. Jim Hall, Fitzsimmons' old enemy, sat in a front seat and watched the fight with Far son Davies, When it was over he said: "It was a very good contest, indeed." Maher Not Able to Stand FanlshmenL Beferee Duffy was equally laconic. "I think Maher lost because he is a fighter that cannot stand punishment," was the opinion he expressed of the contest. Billv Mver. the "Streator Cyclone." said it was a good fight, and he believed Maher was a fair fighter. In his opinion, however, it was Fitzsimmons' fight after the first round. Lou Houseman, of Chicago, who saw all the great fights of a generation, considered the contest similar to a match between a selling plater and a stake horse. He did not think Fitzsimmons should have been hit at all. Tom Allen, the ex-champion heavy weight, had this to say: "Maher was never in it, from opening to the close. He is very slow, when compared with Fitz, while the Australian is a wonderfully clever man, and especially in avoiding punishment. I believe that Maher was bothered from the first round." Svoriina Life Eepresentative Galliher, of London, thought the fight was the best reg ulated tournament he had ever attended. He sent bulletins of the fight to London, and got word from England that Fleet street was packed with people eager for news. He thinks Fitzsimmons showed sur prising ability in getting away from Maher, and said that the Australian won honestly because he was the better man of the two. Fitz Tickled Nearly to Death. Fitzsimmons, as soon as the battle was over, danced around the ring with delight The crowd pressed around him and nearly shook his hands off. He was unmarked, and as chipper as a bird. When he suc ceeded in tearing himself away from his enthusiastic friends he pushed his way through the crowd and went to his room, where, without as sistance he quickly donned his street clothes. He was ip the best of humor, but had nothing to say except that he was satis fied and believed beforehand that hee would win. He did not remain any length of time at the club, but, with his party, entered a carriage and drove up town, promising to call in the morning for the big end of what he fought for the purse. After the fight the gloom in Maher's quarters was thick enough to cut with a knife. Maher remained in the ring some time after the battle was over, while bis seconds washed the blood from his face. His corner, after the fight, resembled a slaughter pen. When he reached his room he put on his clothes and stuffed a moist handkerchief into his mouth to stanch the flow of blood. Madden, Holland, Tut hill and others were with him, and they were all very much cast down over the resulL When the Associated Press re porter was admitted into the room Madden said: "Fitzsimmons punched him in one place all the time. The blood was flowing from Maher's mouth and was choking him. In the eleventh round," continned Madden, "I saw he had no chance to win and told him he had better quit. It was no use to go on. If the fight had continued Maher would have been put out completely, and there was no need for thaL Plenty of lima to Get Beady. "Our man was not in as good condition as he ought to have been, but of course that is no excuse now. We had plenty ot time to get ready, and ought not to complain," concluded Madden. "The fight was per fectly fair. We have no complaint to make, for it was satisfactorily contested,' and Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.

"I have very little to say," Maher replied to an inquiry, "except that Fitzsimmons was too clever forme. He was very skillful in getting away. I had him out in the first round, but the bell prevented me from finishing him. Fitzsimmons is a nice, clean, gentle manly fighter." "Maher broke a blood vessel and the blood choked him," said Billy Macey. "He could not go further because he was unable to breathe. That is the old story. We have been whipped and are sorry for iL We have no fault to find with the con tesL Many sporting men said that Maher was miserably handled by his seconds, while others insisted that ths Irishman's stubbornness had a great deal to do with his defeat. It is hardly within the range of possibility that Maher could have won if he had profonged the contest, bnt the men who backed him would have been pleased to have seen him make the attempt. As it was, he did what Dempsey refused to do quit before he was knocked ouL" Maher's Baekers In the Damps, Of the 6,000 who witnessed the contest few except those who were backing Maher were sorry that he weakened before the in evitable knockout blow was administered. It was merely a question of time. Fitzsim mons would have finished him in the next round. It was a gruesome spectacle to see Fitz round after round drawing blood from Maher until the former's left boxing glove was dyed red. On the other hand, do what be could, Maher could not touch Fitz. He stuck to it gamely, and every time he hit at the Australian he was foiled by a clever dodge. Fitz did not turn a hair during the Con test, and came out of the struggle without a scratch. The best informed authorities ia the pugilistic world to night freely 'declare their opinion that he can whip any man of his weight in the world. The preliminary bout between Slavin and Mitchell did not impress the crowd favora bly with the would-be challenger of Sulli van. The audience cheered Mitchell to the echo, and seemed to delight 'in hi exhibi tion, but did not enthuse over the Austral ian's prowess.

Ayers, a prominent business man, formerly a partner in the Bichmond-Backus Company, was shot and fatally injured this evening by his wife, Annie D. Ayers, at their resi dence on Bagley avenue. The cause of the tragedy runs back through a number of years, but the climax was brought about through the Supreme Court rendering a decision dismissing Mrs. Ayers' suit for divorce, which was first filed last October and dissolving the injunction restraining Mr. Ayers from entering the family resi dence. Mr. Ayers, in consequence thereof, lata this afternoon went to his house and pro ceeded to pack up his personal effects. His daughter remonstrated, and he grew very excited. Mrs. Ayers soon came in from the street, and a scene fol lowed, the details of which have not been ascertained; but as Mr. Ayers left the house his wife fired at him with a revolver, but did not bit him. As he was on the veranda she fired again, the ball entering the left breast and lodging in the lungs.

As Necessary for the Super as the Actor to Know His Part. The veteran actor, Bichings, on one occa sion at least, found that it was almost as im portant for a "super" to know his part as for the chief actors. In the transformation scene of one of his pieces the flats had to draw off for the last tableau, and discover his daughter and himself in apotheosis ia the clouds. On the occasion referred to he was a little slower than usual in changing his dress, and all the performers had taken their stations for the scene as he came rush ing on with his daughter to complete the picture, when, to his horror, he discovered upon the elevation which tney were to oc cupy a great, gaunt super in dirty tights, tin armor and a gilt helmet, already in apotheosis. "What are yoa doing there, sir?" gasped Bichings, as soon as he could find breath. "Standing in 'ipothisis," responded the super, who had evidently read the play bills, and was proud of his position. "Com-- down, you scoundrel I come down at once !" ejaculated Bichings, who imag ined the man was chaffing him. "The manager told me to stand 'ere ia this 'ere 'ipothisis," responded the snper, sturdily, with the air of a Boman sentinel readv to die at his post.
