From tho London Siall The greatest theatre pioprietor In the wot Id Is the Czar of Russia No the nttlcal manager pays so much money for tho pilvllcgo nf owning places of amusement. He owns no tewer than Heven big theatres In St. PotetsKburg and Moscow 'Next to the czur thf largest theatilciil patiuti In the uoild is Einperni William, who as.slsts two theattes a' Beilln and three in the piovluees, which together cost him about 10,000 pel annum These Mutements ate made 011 tho nuthoiity of Jit Kdwin O. Sachs, who, with a corps of apslstnnts, has spent much of the past eight yeats In col lecting" datu. He classifies the tlieatit-s of Kutope Into three gioups Ctnu t thnuties, national and government the ttes, muuli inal theatie.s nnd subscrip tion Uieali with 01 without subhldy. Of these the pi hate theatre 1, of course, the onlj one conducted putely on a business and speculative basis. Of these, England Is essentially tho home, for here theie Is as tt no foim of subsidy whatever. Mr. Sachs hap devoted considerable time to bPcuiln: diagram of ull the pilnclpal theuttes of the world, and these dlagiams give an excellent Idea of the compuiattvu size of the latest r.uropean plates of amusement.

The Em peror of Austria gives tho two Court theatres at Vienna about 00,000 per annum. The French government con tributes the same amount to four Paris theatres, Tho most wonderful example of local ubsldlzlngf theatres Is probably that at Worms, In South dennany.

On the subject of seating capacity and cost of construction of the gieat theattes of Europe Mr. Sach gives some wonderful tables.

On tho subject of theatie flies Mr Sachs tecords no fewer than 1 100 rat astiophles between l"!7 and 1S97 The statistics show that the outbreak gen erally oeours on tho stage; that nearly half take place dining the night nf ter the performance, while only about a seventh of the number happen while tho audience is In tho building, Januaiy Is the henvl'st month for fires In tho pluyhouse.

HIGH AND LOW, RICH AND POOR, GREAT AND SMALL, ARE FALLING, ONE BY ONE. The Greatest Scourge of the Century Is Feared. La grippe has always been a pecti llaily fatal disease. Its ravages ale not so alarming as diphtheria, 01 so much dtcrded asi mnnll-po', but its number of victim ls gi enter than either. Silently Irsldlously It gathers In Its fearful harvest of precloiw lives. It does not spread from man to man like u contagious disease, nor does It be long to limited localities llku malaria. It Is In the air eveiywheie. It is of climatic origin. No man fun escape from It, no woman Is safe from It. La grippe Is epidemic catnrth. La grippe Is acute catarrh excited by pe culiar climatic conditions. It Hwcep.s across a continent In a single week, like tho bllzzatd of winter or the hot wave of Hummer. It does not depopu late wholo villages like the black plague, nor desolate a home like inn llgnnnt dlphtheita, but it counts its single victims here and there Incessant ly, night and day, week after week. La grippe Is acute epidemic ciitnrth. Our climate at all times, ewpeelally in the winter, excites numerous cases of acute catarrh. Just now the climatic conditions are such that very tew es cape. It Is called by the French name, la grippe, but In plain English It Is ca tarrhacute catarih. The last two weeks many hundreds have died of It In the coming four weeks many thoua ands more will c'le. Unlike the hot wave, we cannot lleo from la grippe by going to the moun tains Unlike the winter blizzard, we cannot escape la grippe by going to southern climes. As to the nature of la grippe, au thorities differ. Even now the New York Board of Health Is declaring it to be a contagious disease, while other men of equal authority do not regard It as such. And what Is worse yet, doctors do not agree as to the temedlOH for la grippe. No school of medicine or set of doctors have reached any defi nite conclusion ns to what remedy or remedies will either cure or prevent la grippe. One doctor says this and an other says that, and in the meantime the people are dying all around us. SInco 1S50 Dr. Hartman has passed through four or five epidemics of la died laet Sunday. Tho funeral of both brother and sister will take place in St. Agnes' church on Thursday morn ing at 9 o'clock and the remains will bo Interred In St. Rose's cemetery, Car bondalc A special train will leave Forest City at 11 o'clock. LYNCHED A PUMA. Was Caught Stealing1 a Hoifer and Suffered Unique Punishment. From tho Galveston Dalley News Colonel Peter McClelland got a letter from George Wold, bin stepson, giving a graphic account of a hunt In Jeff Davis county, In which a puma was killed after a thrilling experience In which nairow escapes were made by the writer and his companions. Georgo Wold is a dashing cowboy and his associates are also cowboys. They ride and shoot with the ease and accuracy characteristic of the south west. The region In which the hunt took place Is not far from Fort Davis. Those In the hunt weie J. I. Weather by, R. D. Mulketn, Georgo Wold, Rob ert Adair and G. J. Palmer. Jeff Davis county has not been organized many years, It is rugged, but llch, and Is now one of the best cattle tectlons of Texas. It Is a mountainous region, tie valleys being particularly rich, the long grays nearly hiding the jearllng calves. The cowbovs drive a good trade in skins of wild beasts, which they are frequentlj called upon to slaughter In order to save the flocks and herds In the range, which without the protec tion afforded by the guns of tho herd ers would be-extermlnnted. The cowboys recently shipped a car load of wolf skins to be convened into mgs. They have now begun the woik ot exterminating the panthers which prowl in the hills and slaughter cattle to an extent that has aioused the ranchmen to action. In his letter to his parents George Wold tells ot the excitement following pantheis, which can bo heard ut night uttering a vtall which approximates closely to the cry ing of a baby The gunnels tull them with dogs, and one of the bold huntei bears the maiks on his bieast and shoulder of tho claws 01 one of tlioso gigantic cats, whoso strength Is. equal to that of the tiger. Panther skins command a good pi ice, and the bojs have several on hand which they intend to ship to the north cm matket. They killed a Mexican lion three weeks ai,o, a splendid fellow, with a coat as fine as silk and a length of body that shows him to have been one of the finest specimens of the tiibe Tho Hon was stealing 1 helter when the cowbojs detected him. He vva cieeplug close to the giound. keeping bushes between him and his piey. showing as good judbmiuit as a huutei. Sy eager was the lion for tendei beet that he neglected to watch fm his ene mies, and the gunneis, while thu lion was stealing tho calf, Walked him and potted him, too. Cilppled by bullets he leaped wllclli and blindly Into the air mull a leu I a t bettlcd aiound his netk and the mighty biute ended his life hanging In the alt. . TURNING TO CHALK.
