HISTORIC FIRST NIGHTS.
Red Letter Events In the Dramatic
History of France.
Perhaps the most striking events in
the artistic history of France have
been the first performances of some
of the great French plays. In a few
cases also these occasions have mark
ed the beginning of new epochs In the
I social history of the country, so close
Is the connection between tho social
development of the people and Its ex
pression on the stage. Unless I am
mistaken, there hni< been but six un
forgettable first nights since theaters
were established lu Paris.
The first occurred in 1637. when Cor
neille’s “Cid" took the capital by storm.
Forty years later Racine's “Androm
ache” created a similar sensation.
On the eve of the revolution. In 1784.
Beaumarchais' "Marriage of Figaro”
was received with such delirious en
thusiasm that three people were sti
fled In the rush for scats, in 1830
Victor nugo. In spite of tho determln- !
cd opposition of a large body of reac- ,
tionaries, sei all Paris In an uproar ;
with his “Hemal.”
These names should be born« In 1
mind: Corneille, Racine, Beaumarchais
and Victor Hugo. Three of them at
least have no superiors In the history
of French literature. Each has one
amazing dramatic triumph to his cred
it. The other two of the six great
first nights were the 28th of Decem
ber, 1897. and the 7th of February,
1910. The occasions were respective
ly the performances of “Cyrano de
Bergerac*’ and "Cbantecler,” both by

no evidence whatever that Mr Coleman attempted to
embezzle any of the funds belonging to the state in fact
within 24 hours after the demand was made he had
remitted to the proper authorities the full amount
delinquent, something over $10,000. Some of his detract
ors would likely have been about 24 years in making a
like remittance. As the matter has been so thoroughly
discussed in different papers during the past week we
will simply say that the entire amount due the Estate has
been remitted by Mr Coleman and that the whole matter
was an oversight and not an attempt to defraud or
wrong either the state or its citizens.

Coal Bin Measurements.
A solid cubic foot of anthracite coal
weighs ninety-three younds. When bro
ken for use it weighs about fifty-four
pounds. Bituminous coal when broken
up for use weighs about fifty pounds.
The consequent rule for the approxi
mate measurement of coal in a bln or
box Is to multiply the length in feet by
the height In feet and again by the
breadth in feet and this result by fifty-
four for anthracite coal or by fifty for
bituminous coal. The result will equal
the number of pounds, and to find the
number of tons divide by 2,000.—Popu
lar Mechanics.
