There are some twenty-five musical numbers on the programme, and num- bered among them are several which promise to be great popular successes, aming a few we will find "Why Don't You Take One Little Bo "'Burmah Girl," "She: Didn't Ksfow," *'Croco- dile," "Don't You Thifik It Time to Marry." and a specialty by Mr. Pow. ers and Miss Palmer, entitled, "Popu- lar Entertainments," The scenes of the play are laid in British India, which affords great op- portunit-- in scenic and costumic of- fects, and it is said that the Messrs. Shubert have provided a setting heau- tiful to behold. "Sis In New York." "Sis in New York" is the title of the new series of comedy adventures that befall our old friend, the funny rural Indiana lass.

ADMITTED HIS GUILT. The Varied Career of & Convicted Forger. Claude N. Johnson, who served a term in the Kingston penitentiary, pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery, at Stratford, and was remanded for sentence, The prisoner has had a varied experi- ence, in the past four years. He forged cheques in Stratford, three years ago, and was sent to the peni- tentiary. Upon his release, some two months ago, he stole a suit 'of clothes, a pair of shoes and a hat at Kauesville, a' town in Western On: tavio, where he is now wanted by the police of that place. He was ar- rested in London, on the forgery charge, and pleaded guilty. He at first denied having taken the clothes, but when the police decided to havea man come from Kanesville, to iden- tify him, he admitted his guilt. Johnson is only twenty-four years of age, but already his criminal ca- reer has heen very lengthy. Painted Stovepipe Green.

Godfrey Baker, of last year's Queen's team is still in the city and will in all probability ap- pear on Limestone's line-up this year, He is one of the vest all-round men Queen's have had in some years and will be a good addition to the city feam. The Cadets At Work. Capt. Carson has the cadets at work faithfully every afternoon and they are certainly making rapid strides in the game.

For Their Good Work at Steamer Bickerdike. The fire in the after hold of the steamer Bickerdike, of the Merchants, Montreal & Lake Superior freight line, was got under control about four o'clock, Monday afternoon. The olaze originated in the port side of the af- ter hold, from some unknown among some cotton goods. freight was right in the bottom, and on top was some acid and a large quantity of glass, mostly photogran: er's supplies. It was the fumes from these last two articles that prostrated the fire fighters. It was only the work of a few mo- ments for the local brigade to 'ex- tinguish the blaze after some of the ca had been unloaded, and they could see what they were doing. Capt. Moorg thanked the brigade heartily for their work in the fire, saying that only for their timely airival awd come the prey of the flames. The car- go was reloaded and the steamer left at midnight for Toronto, where the freight will be discharged and an ' es- * [timate of the loss prepared, Fireman Andrew McKee is greatly improved this morning, and is nearly full recovered from the effects of the acid fumes encountered in the hold of the steamer.. "Andy" received the worst dose 'pf the lot and had to be removed to his home. The firemen greatly appreciate the kindness of Mrs. Robert Long for the assistance render- ed at yesterday's fire. She aided Dr. Bogart in many ways in bringing around the hal-suffocated men. ; The captain offered work to a lot of men standing around the hoat, but, as usual, they would rather stand around with their hands in their poc- kets than earn a few dollars hy honest labor. Are Rather Scarce. A lake captain, who was in the city yesterday spent a very busy time look- ing for a cook for his vessel, and it was not before he had done some good { hustling, that he was able to fill the bill. It is reported that cooks are very scarce, both in the mgle and fe- male sex, and the captains on some of the hoats have had their hands full in endeavoring to keep the positions filled. Some become tired of the job after they make a few trips, and there are also some who quit after making their first trip. Others become afraid, especially so when it becomes this late in the season, Good cooks need never idle during the havigation season. There is good pay, too, but this does not appear to be a good: inducement for some. In Winter Quarters. A large number of the local gaso- live launches are being laid up for the season.

Mica Mine Worked By Americans. United States Consul H. D. Van Sant reports that at Sydenham, Ont. sixteen miles from Kingston. is locat- ed the largest mica mine in the world, The product is mostly . amber mica, with some silver amber, the highest quality mined. The mine i¢ one mile from the upper end of Sydenham lake. and the mica is transported in bulk from the mine by barge to the rail- road at Sydenham, where it is chipped to Ottawa for trimming for the mar- ket.
