MASON AND MASON.
Mason and Mason, who are
classed with the leading expo
nents of comedy, will be seen at
the Newport Opera House on
Tuesday Nov. 7, in the two-act
musical play, “Fritz and Snitz,”
assisted by a company of sixty
people, including a big chorus,
which is said to contain a bevy
of very beautiful young women.
The production is entirely new,
and Messrs. Broadhurst & Currie,
the managers, are said to have
spared no expense in their en
deavor to make this one of the
merriest and most enjoyable at
tractions on the road. The music
is said to be very catchy and the
dialogue remarkably witty. The
story briefly told is as follows:
A retired millionaire, aspiring to
a better station in society, seeks
through a matrimonial agent the
introduction to his daughter of a
German Baron, who is invited to
the prospective bride’s home,
but who, through an unforeseen
accident, fails to arrive at the
appointed time, which greatly
worries the matrimonial agent.
In the meantimejFritz, and short
ly following him Snitz, two Ger
mans who greatly resemble one
another, appear upon the scene.
The agent thinks he sees a way
out ot ms chiemtr.a ana mauces
Fritz to disguise himself as the
baron, and later mistaking Snitz
for Fritz he persuades the latter
to the same course. They both
meet the millionaire's daughter
at different times, and she, too,
mistakes one for the other.
Both are endeavoring to win her
: hand in marriage, when the real
| baron arrives. Consternation
1 prevails, but knowing that the
j millionaire has a great aversion
i for automobiles, they dress up
I the baron as a chauffeur and he
| is immediately rejected from the
premises by the servants. Many
; laughable complications arise
I before the identity of the real j
baron is established. j

REMEMBER WOMAN S GLANCE
Men Ma y Forget the Color of Her Hail,
But the Power of Her Eye
Is Potent.
▲ woman’s eye3 are the first object*
to attract a man’s attention, and they
are the last things he remembers about
her. Long after he has forgotten the
color of her hair, the dimple la her
chin and the soft, sweet sound of her
voice, the look in her eye remains with
mint, sdtys an authority on the sub
ject.
He may not be able to single ha#
glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he
may have cast her photograph upside
down into the waste oa3ket with a lot
of others; the slippers §he made him
may have been worn out by his valet,
but still some particular turn of her
glance, some little trick of dropping
her lashes or lifttag her brown eyee
will be as clear to him as the daylight
Ten years after love has been laid
away in his little satln-Ifned casket
that glance will rise like Banquo'a
ghost at the feast and startle him just
at the moment when the man is look*
lug most Intently into the eyes of an
other woman.
It Is not the color of a woman’s eyee
which a man first observes or last re
members, Nine times out of ten a
man will turn from the glance of a
pair of soft brown, cowllke eyes to
gaze into the green orb3 of the red
headed girl on the other side of the
table, and many a doll-like, blue-eyed
beauty weeps because some pug-nosed,
tawny-eyed womp,n has lured away her
sweetheart.
Ask any man the color of his sister**
•yes and he will look at you blankly.
‘‘JoYe,’’ he will remark, "I—I believe
I’ve forgotten. But they’re all right
There's something about them that’a
catchy." And that is positively all that
can be gotten out of him.
The fact that Becky Sharpe’s eye*
were green or that Cleopatra's eyes
were yellow never Interfered with the
machinations of those fascinating la
dies, nor dulled their reputations as
coquettes. Color, size and shape may
make an eye beautiful, but they never
can give it that something which so
many beautiful eyes lack and so many
homely ones possess, the power to
make a man break a bank or sell his
overcoat In order to give his wife what
•he wants.
When the world was sentimental'
men called it "soul." Then they grew
practical and apathetic and they called
it "character.” But no man will avef
know what it is any more than he will
ever know why he married the particu
lar woman he picked out or why th<
cook has left It is n question a*
subtle and elusive as either of these.
WONDERSIN MECHANICS.
tome That Were Worked by Young
Americans with a Genius for
Invention.
A young man who at 21 had been bo
fore the mast, had worked in the
chemical department cf a mill and had
lectured upon muous-oxide gas
throughout the country patented the
rotating chamber for a pistol. It was
not considered particularly valuable un
til after his first company that made It
had failed and fights in Texas and with
the Seminoles in Florida proved i&k
worth. The Mexican war made a de
mand for it.
The same mechanic, says th«
World’s Work, who did so much for
early ax-making developed details lit
revolver-making. The American plan
of not hesitating at the cost of new
appliances was never better shown
than in this big armory. The owner
was probably the first man to suggest
the mining of harbors with torpedoes
for defense, and he was the first to lay
a submarine electric cable. One day a
young man from Vermont came to hit'
works.
"What can you do?" asked the su
newintniwlaiil
"I'm a machinist, a toolmaker and a
diesinker and I can play a horn in s
band,*’ waa the reply.
He went to work the next day. A
few years later he multiplied by 40 ths
value of certain labor in another fac
tory, and by another invention saved
the company $50,000 on contracts al
ready made. Later, with a sewing ma
chine company, he forged shuttles from
one piece of bar steel and cut previons
costs In half. Since that time he has
made forgings by the use of drops
weighing as much as a ton dropping
with dies sometimes six feet upon iron
steel and copper. An example of his In
ventive genius is the instance of hi»
forging otfhand from a single piece o!
copper commutator bars for electric
dynamos after the electrician in chargs
had said that such a scheme wen im
possible
Priest and Donkey.
When Archbishop Farley waa privats
chamberlain to the late Pbpe Leo, seme
20 years ago, he was called upon to meet
all sorts of persons. Many of them
measured wits with him, and few scnred
victory. On one occasion a young
Frenchman tried his best to anger the
prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scoBng
at religion and clergymen. Failing In
this, he resorted to sheer Impudence,
saying: “I am informed that in Mada
gascar, whenever they hang a priest,
they hang a donkey along with him."
The young man laughed, and Mong.
Farley, looking at him mildly. saiB
"Well, let us both he t hanUful, my yotnu
friend, that we are not in MaSagpm

Much More to the Point. .

“Did you ever sleep la three dlffer
•nt towns and in three different hotel*
In one night, paying three times for a
rather incomplete night’* rest?”
The old traveling man threw out the
question in an unconcerned way after
having listened in silence for an hour
while the other members of the Corner
club reeled off yard after yard of stories
about the road, its pleasures, its dan
gers and its humors. The pause that
followed was only broken by some vio
lent but futile efforts by the stutterer
to launch a sentence.
“Well, I have done it,” the old travel
ing man continued. “And i may add
that although I have been kept on the
road for 20 years 1 have never met a man
who was able to boast of the same ex
perience. Tt came about in this way:
I was down In Texas in 1881 and 1882,
and New Year’s day found me In a Small
town called Longview, with my n<5se
turned in the direction of the neighbor
ing town of Tyler. To get to one of
thefce towns from the other you must
travel on two different railroads and
cover about 40 miles of ground, al
though the towns are hardly more than
15 miles apart as the crow flies. Long
view is on the International & Great
Northern, while Tyler is on the Mineola
branch of the Texas Pacific. The two
railroads cross each other at a junc
tion called Troop, about 24 miles from
Longview and 18 miles from Tyler.
“1 was having my dinner In the hotel
at Longview about six o’clock on the
evening of New Year's day, when a first
elass norther came swooplDg down
upon us. If you have never met a genu
ine Texas norther pray that you may
be spared from having the experience.
The wind will spring up without a mo
ment’s warning, and 1 have seen it low
er the temperature 50 degree*in 60min
utes. Everyone had been going around
in hi* shirt sleeves. After the norther
began an ulster was needed. There
was no fire in the house and no com
fort. My train did not leave until 11:10
p. m. The only thing I could think of
wae to take a room ana go to bed, and so
1 did. I awoke at 10:30, jumped into my
clothes and caught my train,
“My watch showed a few minutes
after midnight when I arrived at
Troop and heard that the west-bound
train on the Texas Pacific was any way
from two to three hours late. A band
of immigrants was waiting for the same
train and they filled the waiting-room.
Some were cooking a meal on the red
hot stove in the middle of the room.
Others were sleeping on the benches
and on the floor. There was not a va
cant sqgt to be had and the atmosphere
was indescribable. The air outside was
pure enough, but the thermometer reg
istered ten degrees above zero, which is
not a very comfortable temperature
for a man without an overcoat or
gloves. There was only one way to keep
warm—to cross the tracks to the little
hotel opposite the station and crawi
Into a warm bed for a couple of hours,
and this I did.
“I slept till 4:15 and caught the be
lated train at 4:43. There was only one
passenger, who left the train when wt
reached Tyler at 5:15, and that was L
It was pitch dark'then, cold as Alaska
and so quiet that your steps sounded
like hammer beats along the streets.
No one was stirring In the hotel at that
time and it took me a quarter of an hour
to wake up an old negro who was sleep
ing on the floor in the office. The first
thing I did when 1 got inside the house
was to dig out the keys to the bar and
to gulp down two big drinks of whisky.
And then I asked for a fire.
“ ‘No coal, massa,’ the old nigger an
swered, grinning like a split water
melon; ‘no wood, no miffing. Massa had
better go to bed.’
“And so 1 did, to be sure, for the third
time that night, it was 6:45 o’clock
In the morning then and I slept like a
dead man till 9:30. Have you ever
heard the like of it? And yet my lodg
ing for that night cost me only $1.50,or
50 cents at each hotel. The fun of it
when It was all over, was worth $1.50,
I think,”—N. Y. Siin.
Fruits Replace Fluwera.
Fruits are replacing flowers as deco
rations for the (able, and for this pur
pose are used not fruit bought by th*
pound, but fruit on ils branches. Thes*
branches are entwined in the hanging
lamps, forming a.sort of cradle whence
hang fresh currants, shining cherries,
pliuns with the bloom on 1 hem, golden
apricots, etc. On the table, in little flat
glass dishes shaped like leaves, are ar
ranged cherries, currants and other
fruit in season. These cut glass dishes
are made in a very practical form, with
a second compartment in which are
placed powdered sugar and a little
spoon. There may be four or six of
them, of fairly large size, or else llWle
oues mav be chosen, in which case Ibere
should be one to each guest. New and
ingenious ideas for laying the tables
are being continually introduced. Thus
beside the {dates are placed small crea
eent-sliaped plates for salad, aud some
times delicate little.silver knives and
forks, used ouly for this purpose—at
