The popular comic opera of "The Little Tycoon," which will be performed here on Thursday evening next, has always been an attractive production to Reading the goers. The management assure complete and altogether satisfactory rendition of the opera, both in the interpretation humor and in the music and costumes. An interesting feature of this season's tour is the special symphony quintette orchestra, which is part of the company's organization and travels with it. This means a smooth musical performance, assuring a fitting expression to the melodious numbers of the opera and obviating the chances of any embarrassing hitches. J.

K. Emmet will appear in new play, "Fritz in Prosperity," on Friday evening next. The play will be presented with appropriate scenic equipment and a company of merit. The author is Sydney Rosenfeld, who wrote "The Senator? and other well-known American plays. The character of the lovable German "Fritz' has been modernized, butstill retains the same delightful characteristics of good nature and simplicity that made the name of "Fritz" a household word.

Archie Boyd, who made success as "Joshua Whitcomb," will give us "The Country on Saturday evening.

THE MINT ROBBERY. Ex-Chief Weigher Cochran Arraigned and Committed for a Hearing. PHILADELPHIA, Sept.

8. Cochran was arraigned before U.S. Commissioner Bell, in the office of U. S. Atnoon.

The aged prisoner arrived in torney Ingham, at 3 20 o'clock this aftercustody of Secret Service Detectives Wood and Linden, and accompanied by Acting Director of the Mint Preston, Superintendent Bosbyshell, Special Treasury Agent Morgan, Chief of the Secret Service Bureau Drummond, and Chief Clerk of the Mint Cobb. The Government was represented by U. S. District Attorney Ingham and Assistant District Attorneys Newitt and Ralston. Cochran, in reply to a question of Commissioner Bell, said he was without counsel.

Supt. Bosbyshell testified that the shortage amounted to about $28,000. Commissioner Bell then said in order to give the prisoner time to procure counsel he would continue the case until to-morrow, and held Cochran in $30,000 bail. In default of bail Cochran was committed in care of U. S.

Marshal Myers. Cochran was complacent, and when asked by the commissioner if he wanted counsel, he sought the commissioner's advice. The latter said he was not in a position to advise him on the subject. After being committed the ex-chief weigher questioned Superintendent Bosbyshell on the matter, and declared that he did not know a lawyer, never having retained one. It is probable that Cochran's friends will secure him able counsel.

After the examination before U. S. Commissioner Bell had been concluded and the defendant committed in default of bail, U. S. District Attorney Ingham went to the office of the clerk of the United States Circuit Court, Col.

Bell, and entered a confession of judgment by Cochran for $28,000. This confession and authority to enter the same was given by Cochran in the morning, to enable the U. S. Government to at once proceed and realize whatever could be obtained out of his Darby farm, and an execution will be issued immediately and the property sold. Should this property sell for what it is valued at, the deficiency of $22,000 will be nearly realized.

Salvini's Othello, It is very seldom that I have attained satisfaction with myself in that role. I may say that in the thousands of times that I nave played it I can count on the fingers of one hand those when I have said to myself, "I can do no better," and one of those times was when I gave it at the Teatro dei Fiorentini in Naples. It seemed that evening as if an electric current connected the artist with the public. Every sensation of mine was transferred into the audience; it responded instantaneously to my sentiment and manifested its perception of my meanings by a low murmuring, by a sustained tremor. There was no occasion for reflection, nor did the people seek to discuss me; all were at once in unison and concord.

Actor, Moor and fe felt the same impulse, were moved he soul. I cannot describe the of enthusiasm which issued from the throats of those thousands of persons in exaltation, or the delirious demonstrations which accompanied those scenes of love, jealousy and fury, and when- the shocking catastrophe came, when the Moor, recognizing that he has been deceived, cuts short his days, so as not to survive the anguish of having slain the guiltless Desdemona, a chill ran through every vein, and as if the audience had been stricken dumb 10 seconds went by in absolute silence. Then came a tempest of cries and plaudits and countless summonses before the curtain. When the demonstration was ended, the audience passed out amid an indistinct murmur of voices and collected in groups of 5, 8 or 12 everywhere in the neighborhood of the theater. Then, reunited as if by magnetic force, they came back into the theater, demanded the relighting of the footlights and insisted that I should come on the stage again, though I was halt undressed, to receive a new ovation.

This unparalleled and spontaneous demonstration is among the most cherished memories of my career, for it ranks among such as an artist rarely obtains, -Tomasso Salvini in Century. Making Sickness Pay, "Making sickness pay is something that very few people could do 20 years ago," said Dr. Charles F. Bridge of Santa Fe, "but now profitable invalidism is within reach of everybody. I never knew it, though, until recently, I was in New York two weeks Ago and met a friend of mine, a printer, who said he was just out of a sick bed, to which he had been confined for three months, I extended my sympathy and ipcidentally suggested that the loss of his wages must have been as severe a blow almost as the interruption to his health.

He surprised me by saying that he made money by getting sick and staying sick. He earns 830 a week when sound, but when sick he earns 880 a week. is how he does it: His salary runs on in the office in which he works; he belongs to three benefit societies in the building, each of which pays him $10 a week during illness, and he draws the remaining 820 in sick benefits from the Freemasons, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows. He pays 25 cents a week into each benefit association and meets certain assessments made occasionally by the three secret orders of which he is a member. He can draw benefits from the benefit societies as long as he is sick, but the benefit paying period is limited to 13 weeks by the secret orders.

With one week's sick earnings my friend pays the dues for a whole year in all the organizations to which he Louis Globe-Democrat. Strong Resemblance.

Mrs. Carlisle Doctors the Secretary's Arm Herself. WASHINGTON, Sept. The surgical operation that was thought to be necessary a week or 80 ago to remove the formed on the upper part of Secretary, Carlisle's right arm, while not to be a serious matter in any way, was still too serious for Mr. Carlisle to regard it with any favor.

When the Secretary announced that he was going to have the lump cut out, she reasoned him out of that idea, at least until she would apply a course of oldfashioned home treatment and rubbing. She has been so successful in her diagnosis that the bothersome lump has almost completely disappeared, and, of course, all the pain and annoyance with it.
