hla own play , "Where the Trail Di
vides , " played Hon. Percy Hlanchllow-
er In Henry Arthur Jones' "The Masqueraders -
quoradors , " when It was produced nt
the Empire theater , New York , De
cember 3 , 1895.
Forrest Wlnant , who will play n
prominent part In "The Country Hey , "
played one of the shortest engage
ments ever known In the history of
the stage , with "The Narrow Path , "
at the Hackett theater , which closed
on the opening night.
Orrln Johnson , who plays Larry
Hrice In James Forbea" comedy suc
cess , "The Commuters , " originated
the role of Frank Kcnnet in "The
Great Diamond Robbery , " when It was
produced for the first time on any
stage at the American theater , New
York , September 4 , 1895.
Tnylor Holmes , who , plays Sammy
Fletcher in James Forbes * comedy ,
"The Commuters , " was the original
Do Potter in "Sapho , " when It was
presented by Olga Nethersole at Wai-
lack's theater , New York , February 1C ,
11)00. )
William Herbert , who plays Mr.
Bennington nnd Mrs. Jones in "The

Hardy In Frances Hodgson Burnett's
play , "A Lady of Quality , " when it
was produced at Wallack's theater ,

Disclosing Secrets.
William Bradley , general property
man for Henry B. Harris , and who is
reaponsible for all the stage props In
Mr. Harris' productions , discloses a
few of the secrets of his craft in a
recent interview in one of the New
York papers. Mr. Bradley , among
other things , said :
"The roast chicken served on the
stage Is nothing more or less than
rye bread moulded into the desired
shape , and then shellaced to give it
the desired color. Squabs are coun
terfeited by rolls , properly colored.
Soap takes the place of butter , nnd
nlum Is used to give the appearance
of ice. Burnt sugar nnd water is a
substitute for beer , while ginger-ale
and cold ten take the place of whisky.
Nowadays wine companies furnish
imitation champagne put up in regu
lar bottles , properly corked and wired.
Interesting nlso is the manner in
which effects are produced. That of
rain Is done with dried green peas ,
shaken In n tin pan. The effect of a
locomotive Is produced with a tin pan
filled with sand , and stirred around
with a wire brush ; at the same time
two pieces of sandpaper are rubbed
together. The effect of an automobile
is done with a tin shaker , such as Is
used by barkeepers in mixing drinks ,
and this is filled with ordinary carpet
tacks. A water tumbler Is then in
serted in the shaker , and by a quick
vigorous motion , the tacks jumping
from the glass to the tin produces
the desired effect. The noise of n
carriage driving up a path is produced
Jjy pulling a wheel-barrow through a
trough filled with gravel. The noise
of a troop of artillery is simulated by
dragging Irregular shaped wheels
through n box filled with pieces ol
iron. The noise of a charge of n
company of cavalry Is created by using
the ordinary force cup employed bj
plumbers in cleaning out a basin ; al
the same time two or three cavalry
sabres , to which chains , are attached
are jangled. The dust effect on sol
diers" clothes as they make thelt
entrance Is done with ordinary yellow
ochre , projected by an ordinary hand
bellows. To create the illusion ol
steam slacked lime is employed. "
The Gollmar Brothers Parade.
Those who are disposed to bo skep
tical regarding the size nnd merit ol
the Gollmar Brothers circus will have
all doubts dispelled by seeing the tre
mendous spectacular street display tc
bo given by that concern on the prin
cipal streets of this city June 8.
The pageant of the Gollmar Broth
ers Is a complete surprise. It is a
lengthy processional array , such as
can only be produced by tiio fortunate
combination of unlimited wealth , un
daunted courage , original ideas , nnd
determination to eclipse all similar
displays. That the Gollmars have suc
ceeded in achieving their purpose la
generally conceded. Their parade Is
like their circus. "Tho highest class
in the world. "
Instead of the wooden dens , the
Gollmar Brothers adopted the mons
ter atcel cages and dens , each one be
ing almost as large and as strong ns
the average railroad car.
The Gollmars were among the lirst
showmen to make a feature of fine
horses. They were the llrst to make
n feature of the over attractive Shet
land ponies , and tills season have in
parade and "horse fair , " more of these
children's pets than are to bo found
with all other circuses.
Managed under lofty ideals ; it is
not strange that the length , brilliancy ,
attractiveness , nnd instructlveness of
the matchless Gollmar Brothers pa
rade is n revelation to nil who have
never seen it , while the constnnt pro-
gresslvoness of this amusement insti
tution nlso astounds those who have
witnessed it annually.
AMERICANS IN THE MAKING.

the worda and then ho sees them
written on the board by the teacher.
In the advanced clusaea good citi
zenship and n knowledge of civics ,
history and literature are taught.
Reed Will Make Kace.
Madison , Neb. , June 4. Special to
The News : Willis E. Reed left hero
this morning to attend a meeting of
the democratic state committee nt
Lincoln. While Mr. Reed has made
no definite announcement , his actions
warrant'the assumption that he has
senatorial aspirations and it Is said on
good authority he will soon file his
candidacy for the democratic nomina
tion , with the secretary of state.
KISSED HER OWN HUSBAND.
Startling Revelation In Court Against
an Actress.
New York , June 4. Norn Bayes , an
actress and singer , who Is the star
In "The Jolly Bachelors , " testified to
day in the supreme court , in the pres
ence of a large gathering of theatri-
ci l persons , that she told Florcnz
Xiegfeld , Jr. , n theatrical manager ,
that she would not wear tights and
that she would not appear on the
stage seated on a huge manufactured
elephant.
But that was not the sensational
part of the testimony. The real stir
came later when it was proved that ,
the actress went behind the scenes
and kissed her husband.
Miss Bayes said that Zlegfcld want
ed her to wear tights while perched
upon the back of the elephant. She
said that she had never worn tights
and told him that she did not pro
pose to do so while on the elephant's
back or elsewhere. She also objected
to the elephant.
Hlegfeld , while on the witness stand ,
told of a little dispute lie had with
her one day over certain songs lie
wanted her to sing in "Tho Follies of
11)09. ) " He said that she objected to
singing a certain song called "The
Jungle Song , " and that he asked her
to sing at the ensuing performance the
song entitled "The Harvest Moon. "
Ho said that after consulting with her
husband , Jack Not-worth , who appears
with her on the stage , she said she
would sing one verse of that song.
"What else was said or done ? " in
quired counsel for Miss Hayes.
"Then , " said Xiegfold , "she went
back of the stage and kissed her hus
band. "
Everyone in the courtroom looked
at the actress , who was seated be
side her husband , and she blushed
like a school girl.

A Visit to Old Italy.
Naples , Italy , May 1. Special to
The News : Our voyage is n very en
joyable one although we are two days
late on account of the terrible weath
er we have had ; but n few stops on
the way makes it far more interest
ing , then our trip is broken and we
have subjects for conversation. I
hnve seen more gray and white haired
women playing cards on this trip than
I have seen before in all my life. The
people on this ship either have n man
ia for card playing or else this ocean
life generates the disease , which many
a person has sworn that he wished
ho did not have.
My party of eleven are a sociable
jolly crowd and with two Irishmen ,
( Mr. H. Myles and his son of El Paso
Texas ) we ajways have some quaint
humor and plenty of stories , but we
also have a conglomeration of relig
ious proclivities , for five are Episco
palians , good ones , too , four are Meth
odists , ( I have not decided yet whe
ther they are all backsliders or not ) ,
and three are Baptists , but these
would make good Methodists , but not
yet converted.
After traveling 411 miles from Gib
raltar we landed in Algiers , the cap
ital of Algeria , in northern Africa ,
which Is now n province of Franco.
About a year ngo ex-President Theo
dore Roosevelt came over on the same
ship we are on and also landed at
Algiers. As we enter the harbor we
are reminded of the Arabic poet's ex
pression , "It Is n penrl set in orncr-
aldh , " nnd so it seems for near the
quay nre many large brick and mar
ble buildings of white stones , some of
which nro six stories high , but far
ther up the mountain aide are many
green gardens and parks , thus giving
the city n beautiful background.
A Pirate Nest.
Now for the llrst time the most of
ua gazed upon this the once hot-bed
and plrnte-iit'st of the Mediterranean ;
this robber band waa so strong that
nations were glad to make special
treaties for their subjects for national
and personal protection ; this highway
robbery regime lusted for 1,000 years ,
until the great General Pompey had
scooped down upon these black-legged
red headed fellows nnd destroyed the
pirate business. Since this , the pi
rates have become beggars , peddlers ,
cab drivers and street walking fakera.
Algiers has been under the rule of
Arabs , Romans , Vandals , Turks , and
since 1837 it has been ruled by France.
There are in reality two cities , the
old and the new. The new city Is
modern. The streets are paved , the
buildings look substantial , and in It nre
155,000 inhabitants. Our guide took
us on n drive through the parks , gar
dens nnd villas where we saw groves
of oranges , lemons , llga , dates , palms
and everywhere the fields were fer
tile. This is the dry season and there
will be no rain until October , so irri
gation is common now. Even our
American dandelions nre here in great
quantities , just like the Dutchman's
flea. We passed the Harem of Scslni ,
where this man kept hia forty wives.
Iron bars over the doors and windows
keep the women Inside , until the man
desires to let them out , and then thej
must go with heavy veils over their
faces. On top of the hill Is the Kas-
bad the ancient fortress of the Deyfl.
We visited many stores ami shops ,
a number of which were about half as
good as the Beeler Bros , and the A. L.
Killian Co. stores.
Then we visited the old city of Al
giers ; which is an Arab city. Here you
will find the houses square and windowless -
dewless , the roofs are flat , and doora
nre very low ; the Arabs assemble on
the roofs at night , where they gamble ,
fight and quarrel. The streets are
very dirty , people are poor and many
go barefooted. These' Mohammedan
people flock here from all over the sur
rounding county and keep their feast
days. We visited one of their hotels ,
where you can get a bed for two
cents , but you must sleep on a stone
floor without nuy cover and here in a
bunch will be from fifty to 100 people
all i)1 ) one room.
A Horrible Sinht.
We visited one of their second hand
markets which wns a horrible sight ;
no one Is safe going through this Arab
town without a licensed guide. We
visited their Grande Mosque , which
was carpeted with beautiful brussels
rugs , but before we entered we had
to put on the Mohammedan sandals ,
but could keep our hats on , for these
people honor the feet and not the
head just like some Americans that
hnve more action In their feet than
In their heads. It was only a year
ago that there was an uprising in
this city among these. Mohammedans
and they threatened to kill all the
Christians nnd Europeans , but were
soon suppressed by the government.
Such an uprising is apt to happen at
any time and great massacre take
place. There nro many Moors here.
As In Gibraltar , they nre really very
fanatical and are mostly Mohamme
dans. We visited the palace and park
of the governor. He rules supreme ,
but Is appointed by the French govern
ment. Years ago in the beginning of
Christianity Saint Augustine preached
In tills city and had quite a following ,
lie also wrote his confessions here.
In the face of what seems an impos
sibility is n Methodist church mission
with the herald of the gospel of Hope
in Christ caring for the people , and
showing them n much better way to
live than in their doubting skepticism
and superstition. The only hope of
ever helping these people Is in the
gospel. If this fnils they must live and
die in their filthy sins. To me this
was very interesting for it reminded
me of my trip to Africa nnd Egypt
three years ago , and so I lingered be
hind while my party had gathered on
the steam launch to go back to our
big ship , and when I reached the pier
already the launch had left , but when
I hallowed to the captain he steamed
back to the pier and took me , so I
was almost left In Africa. How long
I would have had to stay I don't know.
My. i am glad I did not miss my ship !
Algiers is a city of vast importance
and promises to outstrip Cairo in a
few years. It Is n great commercial
center and is growing rapidly. There
are not very many Americans in Al
giers and those who do live there
seem lonesome nnd homesick.
After a run of 000 miles we expect
to land in Naples. Italy on May 2 , two
days later than the time for arrival.
Charles "Wayne Ray.
Rome , Italy , May " . Special to Tht-
News : The Temple party of tourists
reached Naples on May 3 by the
steamer Cretlc , being two and a half
days late , caused by the awful storm at
sea , and after n voyage of 4,500 miles
on a sea that was constantly angry.
The captain suggested that there
was a Jonah on life ship , and I sup
pose if we could have found out who
he was , we would have thrown him
out to a big whale that passed our
ship , and for all I know It was the
same whale that swallowed the orlgl-
lial Jonah off the coast of Joppa.
We spent some time In seeing the
excavated city of Pompeii , which was
completely destroyed by the eruption
of Mt. Vesuvius , November 23 , 79lJ. ! ) ,
and which remained in ruins 1,800
years , when it was accidentally discov
ered.
The Black Hand.
The National museum Is very fine In
Naples. There are some beautiful
drives. One is to Poslllpo , the other
Awalfl and Sorrento. The charm of
Naples Is the bay , which Is said to bo
the most beautiful In the world ; so
grand Is It that the old pagan poet
said , "See Naples and die. " Naples
Is growing very rapidly , and la an Im
portant sea port city , but with all Its
beauty and grandeur It has an awful
scar for It la at present the hot-bed
of the "Hlack Hand" societies , and
has many anarchists. Strange to say ,
my American readers , It Is this locality
that la furnishing ua with the moat of
our Immigrants. The steamer that
we came over on fiom Now York to
Naples waa. hooked to take back to
America l.SOO steerage passengers
from Naples. Many of these , we are
told , are very Ignorant and many are
said to be desperate cnniliials. Can't
something be done to stop these un
desirable people from coming to the
United States ? In talking with some
Italians of the better class , I was
bluntly asked why we received these
anarchists and Hlack Hand people Into
our country. Of course the better people
ple do not want them here.
Will some one answer this question
In the states ? Hut , after all , there la
n cheerful countenance about the Ital
ian people that you see here which is" ]
very remarkable. Even the poor people
ple , who are barefooted and hungry ,
seem happy. They do not have the
same rush and hustle t.hat the Ameri
cans have to make money , but seem
contented with a little.
From Naples we had a beautiful
ride of 1G2 miles through the moat
fertile fields and valleys. Every inch
of ground seems to be farmed. At
last wo reached the Seven Hilled city
of Rome , the glory of which Is In her
ruined palaces , temples and forums ,
which speak a language that Is not
dead. There is more grandeur In ruins
and dust here than In any other city.
There is much here to see. Of course ,
with the Roman Catholics , It Is of
great importance to sec the church
of St. Peter , and the Vatican. The lat
ter contains 11,000 rooms ; but all people
ple and nationalities are greatly de
sirous to see these monuments of the
Catholic church. The great patriotic
gem of Rome is the monument of
Guiseppe Garibaldi , the hero of the
Italian kingdom. It Is of great Inter
est to Christians of all creeds to visit
the Maniertlne prison , in which St.
Paul was kept before he was put to
death , and the prison in which he was ,
when he wrote the Epistle of Second
Timothy.
Rome a City of 600,000.
Rome is growing rapidly and now
lias 000,000 people , and next year
there is to be n great exposition of
art in the city which will last from
May to October. As soon as tourists
or strangers arrive at Rome their
names must be sent to the chief of
police nt the capltol ofllce , where these
are kept for reference , so our names
are now held by the chief of police.
The coloseum is the best preserved of
all the ruins in Rome. It is 157 feet
high and it was here that the emper
ors hekl the gladatorial contests , and
also where hundreds of thousands of
Christians suffered death In various
manners , some by burning , turned
loose to hungry lions , executed and be
headed. The Roman Forum is near
the Coloseum nnd here was the sen-
ati' house where Cicero , Urutus , An
tony , Cnto , Julius Caesar , nnd other
noted orators gave addresses. In this
place Judlus Caesar was assassinated
by the consplrtors and on the rostrum
Mark Antony exposed the body of
Caesar to the public and aroused the
populace.
Wo visited the Catacombs of Saint
Sebastiano. A church was originally
built over this place by Constantine ;
it is said that 2,000.000 Christians are
burled in these Catacombs , most all
of whom were killed In the Roman
persecutions.
It is marvelous what the Roman
Christians suffered for the sake of our
Lord. I have often wondered If the
Christians of these days would endure
so much for Jesus , and then I think
they would.
We visited the English cemetery in
which are buried the noted poet John
Keats and his friend Joseph Severn.
We have spent a most delightful
time in this city. I will close this let
ter and write more on Rome.

ENEMY IN GROUND.
Corn Crop is Being Attacked by the
Worms.
Fremont Tribune : The failure of
the early planted corn to grow in
some sections of the state Is said by
local men to be due in a large part to
worms that are infesting the fields in
great numbers at present. The wet ,
cold weather of the past few weeks
has been responsible for their pres
ence In troublesome quantities.
How much damage may have been
wrought to the Infant corn crop
through this and other causes grain
men declare can not yet be deter
mined , but they are agreed that a
period of good growing weather warm
and dry is vitally essential to the
good health of the crop. Another
week or two of chill may work a
great injury , while a similar period of
good growing weather they believe
will efface much of the damage that
has been done to date.
