Irvins and Terry In America.
The return of Henry Irving ami El

Knickerbocker theater. New York, the

.he most fashionable, audience of the
teason. They were accompanied, as
lstial, by the company of the London
uyceum. Their welcome was as cor
lial and sincere as it has been in the
jast. The play was the historical
lrama “King Charles I,” by W. G.
ATllis, Mr. Irving appearing as the
English king and Miss Terry as Queen
Henrietta Maria. It was first pre
lented at the old Star theater in 1S83

The audience clearly indicated its

attitude to the play. Its admiration
of Mr. Irving's splendid, dignified and
pathetic performance was evident; its
appreciation of the fine poetic and lit
erary qualities of the play could not be
doubted, but that the tension of its
dark, unrelieved pictures of mental
tortures was too trying even for aes
thetic enjoyment was equally certain.
The breaking of the shell was a pleas
ant relief.
The Duke tie Tfillyraml.
The Duchess de Tally rand et Sagan
has had quite a series of difficulties in
clothing her son for his marriage to
Miss Morton, and has twice been
obliged to invoke the courts to her aid.
Owing to the condition of the Duke de
Tallyrand et Sagan the duchess was
forced to attend to all the legal fea
tures of the marriage. In order to
avoid family complications she ad
dressed herself to the courts for per
mission to give her son a wedding dot
of $250,000. The courts granted the
request, particularly as the duchess de
clared she had every right to dispose
of such sum of money, as her own dot
had been $2,000,000. At the last min
ute, however, there was a complica
tion in the matter. It is said the
bride’s father did not find $250,000 suf
ficient. Whatever the real reason, just
before the marriage the duchess has
tened to Paris from London and again
asked the courts to allow her to add
her superb residence and gardens to
the dot. A day or two before the cere
mony the courts granted the duches
request, and Miss Morton, now Count
ess Boson de Perigord, will in conse
quence preside over as its absolute mis
tress one of the most beautiful hemes
in Paris and one full of historic asso
ciations.

in the latter's efforts to make the
wearing of short skirts compulsory.
Mr. Meigs would punish by fine or Im

right, as trailing skirts are great
spreaders of disease by sweeping up

Onr First City President.
“It should not escape attention,”
says the Review of Reviews, “that of
ail the long line of illustrious Presi
dents, Theodore RooBevelt is the first
to be born and brought up in a great
city. Other Presidents have passed
over to cities, and so have become
more or less identified with city con
ditions and city life, notably Presi
dent Arthur, Cleveland and Harrison;
but Mr. Roosevelt is the first Presi
dent to represent and to reflect in his
very fibre the cosmopolitanism of the
great modern city, and that city—New
York."

Determined to Kill ll«r.
The authorities of Ashtabula, Ohio,
and the people generally are much in
terested in unearthing the individual
or individuals who have made four
consecutive attempts upon the life of
Miss Lillian Hawkins, a young lady of
that place, whose reputation is of the
highest. So far the mystery remains
unsolved and meantime the young vic
tim is slowly recovering from the
shock of the fourth attempt upon her
life. She declares she knows no per
son who should seek her life, nor any
reason why she should be attacked.
Last December the first attack was
made upon her. Shortly before Christ
mas while visiting friends in Rock
Creek, near Ashtabula, she was left
alone in the house one day. Wrhen the
family returned they found the girl
bound and gagged, lying on the floor,
and with a mark around her throat
where a cord had been tightly drawn.
She had been attacked from behind
and wrhile being choked she became
MISS LILLIAN HAWKINS.
] unconscious. She did not see her as
sailants and the authorities who be
gan a prompt investigation of the case
failed to discover the criminal.
A few weeks later after Miss Haw
kins' return to her home she ate an
apple and was taken suddenly sick. :
Only prompt medical aid saved her
life, as the apple had been poisoned
by strychnine.
The next assault upon her was made
early in the summer. One evening she j
was holding a lantern for her father
in the back yard when a quantity of
vitriol was thrown in her face. In the
excitement, the miscreant escaped and
no trace of him was found.
The last attempt upon her life was
made last week. She was eating sup
per with the rest of her family and
while partaking of sliced peaches she
noticed a peculiar taste. Her suspi
cions and those of the family were at
once aroused and investigation re
vealed that the peaches had been dosed
with laudanum. Medical aid was at
once summoned and her life was once
more saved. Her condition is still
serious as this latest attempt on her
life has completely shattered her
nerves.
Thorough investigation of the mat
ter is being made, but neither she nor
her family can throw any light upon
it.
Value of South African nones.
One of the groat lessons of the Boor
war was to show the value of the
South African horse. If the Boer3 had
not been so excellently mounted as
they were, on horses bred in the
Transvaal. Orange Free State and
Cape Colony, the war would have
worn a different aspect. The South
African horse can live on much less
food than an English horse; he does
not suffer from the climate; he does
not tumble into holes; he is sounder,
is more sensible, and learns better to
stand alone without being tied up.

A Sensible Scheme.
There is a little town in New Jer
sey where an improvement league has
done more to cleanse and beautify
the place, at an expense of less than
$100, than the council has accom
plished by expending thousands of
dollars in the ordinary way. The
league began by offering prizes for
clean back yards and alleys, and then
for the prettiest vine-covered fence,
the finest vegetable plot, and the most
beautiful flowering plant. It enlisted
the active Interest of the boys and
gills, and got them to pick up waste
paper and such things from the
streets; to keep the school yard neat,
and also the vacant lots. In six
months’ time the town became par
ticularly attractive and clean, and the
death rate has perceptibly decreased.
The improvement league idea is open
to any town where this paragraph
may be read.
European Ta* Method**.
Adolph Nathan, formerly president
of the Chicago Civic Federation, is in
Europe investigating the methods of
taxation and municipal government in
different countries of that continent.
In a recent interview in Berlin he said:
‘'The taxing methods of Europe ap
proach much nearer to fairness.
Justice and equity than do American :
methods. Broadly expressed, it is the
European theory that the support of
government, both national and local,
should be derived from rents, interest,
dividends and profits. No tax is con
templated on means of production, but
only on results of production, provided
it is profitable. This may have its
drawbacks, but to my mind it is a
thoroughly true and wise principle.”
A Dog Which Attempted Murder.
A dog which had attempted murder
as deliberately as a human being ever
did was shot by his owner in TexaB
recently. A rancher's wife named Har
ris. living near Santa Rita, had a big
Irish setter, of which she was ex
tremely fond and which was devoted
to its mistress. When Mrs. Harris’
first baby was born and received all
the petting and cajolery which the dog
regarded as belonging to him, he be
came intensely jealous. One day he
seized the baby from the floor and
bounded away with it to the river.
He swam out into the current and
dropped the child into the water. The
baby was rescued with some difficul
ty and then the dog was killed.

ruled aotlvp and steady to strong on all
leslrnblo grades. There were only about
Ifteen cars of corn-fed steers on sale and
none of those was what could he called
Unlshed. Anything at all desirable, how
ever, sold readily at steady to strong
Drlees. Receipts Included only abou*
Vilrty-flve ears of cows and heifers, and
buyers took hold In good shape anil the
market was active and fully steady with
resterday. A few of the choicest hunches
possibly sold a little stronger, but still
the situation is best described by calling
It a good, steady market. There was no
particular change noticeable In the prices
paid for bulls, calves and stags, as they
nave been selling In just about the same
notches all the week. The strong demand
for feeders was the most noticeable fea
ture of the market. Buyers were all nut
early and paid good, strong prices for
weighty cattle showing quality. The
dioloe Stockers also brought strong prices.
So far as the commoner grades and the
medium weights are concerned, there was
not much of any change, ns they were
neglected more nr less, the same as they
have been all along.
Hogs—The supply of bogs was light as
'nmnnred with the arrivals of the pre

opened about steady with yesterday’s
average. The hulk of the sales went at
C5.97J6t??6.0O, Seme of the choicer loads
sold from J6.OOfjG.OB and « few went above
that figure. Commoner grades sold from
f’• down. It was not n partloularlv act
ive market at those prices, but still the
bulk of the olTerlnsgs was out of first
hands at a reasonably early hour.
Sheep—The receipts of sheep and lambs
continued liberal and packers were even
more bearish than they wi re yesterday.
They all tried to buy their supplies lower,
but as feeder buyers were numerous nn.l
anxious for supplies they outbid the
Packers In many cases, so that the hulk
>f the receipts today went to feeders at
about steady prices. A big string of
lambs, the big proportion of which were
good enough for killers, sold to a feeder
for $1.25. which was considered a steady
price. Mexican wethers. In the same way,
were bought by a feeder at $3.60.

ANTI-IMPERIALISTS’ VIEWS.
Hope Ilooiievelt Will See Colonial Policy
BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 26.—The Anti
Imperialist league today Issued a state
ment representative ot its hope that
President Roosevelt will take the view
that a colonial policy for this govern
ment is an impossible one. The state
ment says:
“The league members deplore the
crime of crimes perpetrated at Buf
falo.
“Our grief for the dead, however,
must not make us forget our duty to
the living. The great questions which
confront ns must be dealt with. Pres
ident McKinley has become an histor
ical personage. His public policy can
now be discussed without prejudice.
We hope the country will accept the
opinion that colonialism is an impos
sible one and that the Filipinos are
capable of independent self-govern
ment. We trust that President Roose
velt may speedily arrive at thi3 con

night. Today young brothers of the
boys had a quarrel. When the older
boys met tonight on the street near
their homes they took up the quar

who is a coatmaker's helper, pulled
from a half finished coat he was car
rying home a big basting needle. He
plunged It Into young Bernstein’s
thigh and ran. Bernstein, mad with
pain, pursued him, and drawing the
needle from his leg, he held Himmel
farb with one hand while with the
other he drove the long needle into
his heart. Bernstein fled to his home,
where he was shortly afterward f
rested.
