OUR OWN BRADY ÁT

YOKOHAMA,

"Bluebeard" was perfonned for the fourth and last time in the Yokohama Public Hall on the 38th April to a crowded and, most cathusiastic house. As might have been ox- pected, the actors and actresses showed to oven greater advantage than on any of the previous occasions, and the whole piece went with a swing and were that delighted the audience. Mr. Brady (Bakemono) showed himself in- comparably the finest, comic actor that has ever appeared on the stage in China or Japan. His power of facial expression, his perfect harmony of gesture and sentiment, the singular versatility that enables him to, pass, without the slightest apparent effort, fram emotional intenseness to the very confines of comical levity, indicate talent such as we have never before seen in an amateur and very rarely in a professional. The scene be tween him and Cyclona (Miss Lloyd Thomas) in the third not was a piece of inimitable bar- lesque; not mere buffoonery such as constitutes the ordinary farce. but a kaleidoscope of swift transitions from profoundly tragic pathos and fierce passion to the most mirth provoking drol- lery and ridicule. Such a success needed high excellence on both sides, that of Mr. Brady and that of Miss Lloyd Thomas also. A superb presence, singing deliciously, and moving with the utmost grace, Miss Thainas added to these attractions a really large measure of histrionic skill, and the law of contrasts, which is one of the too often neglected principles of true art, was strikingly illustrated in the pictures pre- sented by Cycloma auð Bakemonoon the one hand an imperial mien, a dreamily magnificent costume, and queenly reserve; on the other, sumbre homelines, the apparel of a coolic, and the insistence of a clown.--Japan Mail.

THE FISH PEST IN TOKYO.

The malady that has attacked fishes in the Tokyo mats and ponds is likely to prove a great calamity to the rats of the city. It has been proved by experiments conducted in

THE BANK OF CHINA AND JAPAN, LIMITED.

The following is the report which was presented to the Shareholders at the Fitth Annual Meeting held on Wednesday the 11th April, 1900, at the Cannon Street Hotel, London, EC, at 11.30 o'clock, am.

The Directors beg to submit to the Share- holders a statetuen: of the affairs of the Bank as at 31st December, 1899.

The Gross Profits for the year are £17,434 15. 104, which, after deducting all Expenses of Management and Deposit Interest, leave a net profit of C298 os. 6d. This sum, along with the balance of £2,325 135. ad from 1898, it is proposed to carry forward.

.

The deficiency account of the Old Bank has been reduced to 207,046 05. d, a sum of £2,900 18s, 6d, having been recovered from Old Shareholders during the year,

The litigation with the defaulting Chinese Shareholders has been transferred from the Shanghai Mixed Court to Peking, where II. M. Minister is endeavouring to secure a successful result to our appeal.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York ordered a new trial of our suit in which judgment had been obtained against an American Shareholder for Calls due on his Shares, that Court having declined to follow the opinions as to English law expressed by the eminent English Counsel who gave evidence on behalf of the Bank. Against this decision the Bank are appealing to the Court of Appeal at Albany, whose decision will be final.

The Directors who retire at this time are Mir Wm. Keswick, M.P. and Mr. F. D. Sassoon, and, being eligible, offer themselves for re election.

MUTINY ON THE AILSA CRAIG,"

Mr. Harry Furniss, speaking at the Society of Arts recently, told an amusing story of Mr. Justice Hawkins. The learned judge had a horror of draughts, and used to close up every cranny of his court, to the great discomfort of everybody.

Meeting a brother judge, the latter said: "Oh Hawkins,. I'had a frightful' dream the other night. I dreamt you were About 2.30 pm on and instant the native dead and taken to Woking to be cremated. 1 crew or lascars of the Ailsa Craig mutinied caught the last train down, and bribed an and refused to work, while the vessel was pass- official to let me peep through one of the loop-ing through Singapore harbour from Manila, holes of the crematorium: All that

Marine Police went off and put i guard to pre vent any one from leaving the vessel during the night. Next morning Inspector-Branagan and the Health Officer went on board and found that 35 out of the 41 fascars had mutinied and still refused to work. The men were then landed at St. John's Island, the quarantine station, where they will have to remain for six days, as Manila' is a plague-infected port. After the men have spent six days at St. Jalin's, pra- ceedings, will be taken before the Master Attendant, The vessel was thought into port next day by the engineers and officers alone.

The steamer Southern Crart, which was fitted by Sir George Newnes, for the scientific exploration of the South Polar regions, and which left Hobart on December 19th, 1898, has arrived at New Zealand., Mr. Borchgre, vink, the leader, has sent a cabis message stating that the object of the expedition has Been accomplished and the south magnetic pole located. The furthest point in the souli which he reached was with the aid of a sledge, establishing a record of 78:50 deg. The zoo logist, Mr. Hanson, is dead. The Southern Cross has salled for Hobart,

A WAR EPISODE.

A new volume of "War Sketches just pub lished is notred in the literary columns of a home paper, from which we quote this :--

The story of The Man who was Commun- ! -decred" is a really fine piece of fiction; with just that touch which makes us feel that the thing must have happened so, whether it did or not. An officer of Rimingtan's Guides tells the story. Knocked over by à shell at Magers- fontein, is fell in with half a dozen stragglers who had captured a gunner of the Transvaal Staats Artillerie, This man turned out to be the brother of one of the sokliers, a Cockney deserter who had been tenipted by the after of H a quid a day and all founid" to take service against his own country. The dialogue be- tween this prisoner, rather glad at first to be safe out of the bullets and to meet his brother

by the chance of battle, is extremely grim. As

"But where is 'e??

"Ob, Gawd, Jack!· A bloke don't go. fer to kill is own little bruvver 1"

"I don't know so much, Bill.”

Then, as it dawns on the Cockney what serving against his own country really incans, the informal court-magtial, which the wounded officer vainly tries to prevent, is, sketched in a few succinct phrases. Sentence is passed, and execution follows:--

Jack got up and leisurely fitted his bayonet. The man in the Transvaal uniform grew ashen and half got up, but the Highlander drew him down again with a gentle yet irresistible in- sistence which somehow reminded me of a mother restraining her child. The man withi the bayonet held out out his hand. "Well, so long, Bill," he said. "Jack, for Gawd's sake, don't you go for to do it. I was commandeered, Gawd's truth, 1 wis."

"So long, Bill,"

"Jack, old chum. Ver own bruvver——” "Like litte ALL So long, Bill,"

The bayonet flashed in the sun. Once, twice, thrice. And the last time what had been a scream was only a sigh, very long drawn.

A HIGH CHURCH DIOCESE.

An American bishop, while visiting in York. shire, had been asked to give an address at a Saulay-school. am the bishop of the diocese of Washington”and_Idaho," he said; "and, by the way, can any of you tell me what a diocese is?" Several hands were help up The bishop nodded to a yellow luired red- cheeked lad in front. "You know ?”: her said: "Yes, my lord," was the reply.

The sheriff gave the order; the troops withdrew; the mob, led by an ex-judge, entered the fail unresisted, took out the negro, hanger him, emptying their pistols into his body, and then, since the negroes of the place demanded the hanging of the white prisoner also, he too was taken out and executed in the same way These are the plain facts, incredible as they. sound. It is wonderful that such incidents should occur in a civilized country. If they happened in any Oriental State, Occidentals would not hesitate to denounce it as barbarous,

A MANILA GROWL.

The head of a large shipping house in Manila writes to Mr. Poulteney Biglow

The rule Americans, have now established of putting a customs officer at each province port, and clearing local steamers with more circum- stance than the Spaniards ever used against foreign-going vessels, is, it is to be hoped, only a war precaution. If they intend to continue it after peace it will be a horrible nuisance and play the mischief with inter-island traffic. It takes all the morning to clear a small steamer to a province port--triplicate manifests and numerous paths and various offices-and all for
