A HKCKLKbS HIDE. A day ago , when the Omaha afternoon express wns nearing Waverly , the fire man , in looking back along tlio train , was surprised to sue on the trucks of a roar coach tlio protruding feet and legs of a man who was evidently stealing a rid . From appearances , this steerage passenger was about equally balanced from falling inward between the wheels and outward on the track , a loss of bal- nnci ) either way that meant destruction Tlio train was called to : i halt to meet a passing train at Wavorly , and when the trainmen removed the tramp from the trucks ho was found to bo no drunk that ho could not stand ulono. How ho man- siged to ride the ten miles was a mystery , nnd a ride of a fuw miles further would undoubtedly have ended him. A COMING CONTEST OK A WILL. It is quietly understood among a very few that a contest will bo instituted in the courts against the execution of the will of the late T. T. QulcK. The will of Mr. Quick was uiado in 1883 , and his prop erty , tliun valued at something over $100.000 , was left largely to his \yife , the children having special allot ments , but not to bo available to them until they wore twenty-tiro \oatsofago. Since the making of the will in 188'J , Mr. Quick has accumulated BOIIIO fOO.OOO more in property that it is understood is not dolinitoly pro vided for in the will. There are rumors in elVect that the son of Mr. Quick , by a former wito , will tlgtiro in the contest , and the revival of legal poinU raised twelve years ago may fol low. The papers in tlio contest liavo not boon tiled jet , but , upon excellent authority - ity , the papers are prepared , and when they roach publicity thev will bo found to contain a great many legal points that will undoubtedly make out of the case ono thai In llio trial will attract unusual interest.

A Ilrlcf Description or the I-aiiions I'nshlotiAblo Drive. London Life None but the habitues of the park can realize the sensation can-ed by thu appearance in "Tho How" of the scarlet jacketed postilions and the car riage containing llio royal lady who rcp- rcsotits the might and majesty of Kng- laud. You may have frequented I'm ' ride for a quarter of a century and more with out wltni'aiing .such a spectacle as that of only lust season , when her majesty startled such of thu lieges as went gathered together In the vicinity of "Tlio How" by dm ing slowly down it The unwritten law of "fashion'1 prescribes thu hours when , and when only , it is "good form' to taku exorcise in Hottun How. These tunes are from 11 to " and from I uj ) to the dinner hour. There aru. of coursu , many men. chielly of the pro fessional and ollicial classes , together with a fair sprinkling of city magnates , who , under such adraconian code.would never have an opportunity of riding at all , wore they nol to maku a virtuu of necessity by ' rising with the lark and tak ing tlio sad'dlo at an hour when thu ma jority of those composing "the world" aru wrapped in slumber. From 7 to 10 "The How" is the happy riding- ground of the brain workers , who find thu promenade a cheval in the sweet morning brec/.o the best preparative for thu day's toil. Stroll into thu park at this timu and you will see among "tho liver brigade ono or other of the emi nent gentlemen who in a couple of hours from now will bo clad in thu ju dicial ermine , and engaged , with or with out the assistance of twelve "honest men and true , " in irying that "right of way" in which you may , perchance , be lilling the toll of plaintiff or defendant. Very mild of countenance and bland of demeanor meaner is Hliadamanthus as you seu him "in thu pigskin , " or may bo on foot , giv ing his dogs a run , and chatting over tliu railing with the hardly less eminent "silk" who will more than liavo earned the big fee marked on his plethoric brief this sulu of sunset. They arc in deep "confab" doubtless discussing that line point which cropped up in "Court XIX. " the day before yesterday , or expressing their .surprise that the highly intelligent jury should have found tor the plaintill' in thu great case of "Nokcs vs Stiles" when the balance of testimony was .so decidedly in favor of thu unfortunatu de fendant. Sauntering slowly past these legal luminaries , howuvcr , yon aru stir- prised to ! tear .such phrases as "CJreat l > addinirton handicap , " "Nothing can beat Tain O'Shanlor , " and other scraps of conversation familiar to those who take delight in hippie contests ; and by thuso signs and tokens yon become aware that tlio cruditu dispensur of justice anil the acute Q.

In twos and threes , escorted by their broth ers , cousins or sweethearts , or followed by natty grooms , for the most part ad mirably mounted , come the legion of t Amazons , who find in the ride an en chanted land where , within reasonable limits , they can do as they please and say what they like without the slightest fear of encountering papa's awful frown or mamma's unmistakable glance of disap proval and warning. The "cowl , " it may bo conceded , doesn't make the monk/ ' but ritting habits certainly "makes the equestrienne. " In the badly out habit thu prettiest girl looks a dowdy ; let the riding garb be well fashioned , and the wide world can not produce a moro per fect picture of a young Englishwoman disporting herself in what by common consent , is adjudged to be the most de lightful riding ground in Europe. As she cantors up the gentle slope at Albert gate , or walks her horse under the trees at "Tho Corner" end of the park , her taco aglow , her eyes sparkling with the excitement of the exorcise , what wonder that the grandest dames who divide the year between their homes in Paris and their lodgings in London and their villas on the Mediterranean constrain their mankind to "regard" this "jolio mees" and that "ravissante demoiselle" the while the boautlous object of all this genuine idolatry distribute smiles and blow kisses to their friends in tlio crowded path from whence baby , her perambulator , and her nurse are rigor ously banished nt the fashionable hour ? "The How" is again a deserta veritable Sahara.from 2 until 4 , when.if the season bo tolerably advanced nnd the weather line , it becomes more crowded than over.

" The last thing that people thitiK about in the auto-dinner ! hours is apparently riding ; indeed , a canter is almost out of the question un less a move is made toward Kensington gardens , or an adjournment is taken : no the Hays water side of thu park. The gay throng is intent on gossipand on naught else. The clubs have disgorged the best part of their members ; the 5 o'clock tea- tables of Uclgravia and May fair are de serted ; duty calls have been made ; shopping ping is over for the tiny , and Hotton How is metamorphosed Into n hive of buzzing > humanity.

I'lilliuli'lphin Now3 : IJiiti Rico's proper nninu Wii * Diiniel McLrtrrun. K\ietly : where In thu country liu was born 1 do not know , but when amnll liul ho be- ramo : i sUblo boy nrounil the fatuous rauii tracks , and enjoyed the boubrlquet k of i "Dusty Dan. " His ability was anuu- iii , and he soon developed such athletic tiowers that ho became a profess'ona ' acrobat. IIo po&pps uil wonderful strength and initoniituulu courage. One of Ins ( irst public appa.irancos , stri'iigt1 ' to say , was as a pugilist. I have a record of the fact that in 1823 the 1'ennsylvania legislature adjourned to witness at liar- rishnrg a boxing contest between ( ! corto Konsett and Dan Kiee. Keusett was llio htillivan of his day , and at thu tune of winch 1 speak he had just defeated in the . . Ned Hammond , the conlcst being really the llr.st big listic encounter in this country. It is titty-nine years .sinco he made his public appearance in the stale capilal , and as hu could nol have been very far from his twentieth milestone at that time , the greatest clown this country has known must now bu almost an octogenearlau. In those early day. * of the circn the clown was the main feature of thu show , and upon his personal popularity its success depended lie-fides nossossmg a store of ready witticisms , he was required to be a good all-around acrobat and well acquainted with the management of lior.-es. Hicu was well equipped in all these respects , and besides , although un educated , he was blessed With "Hie gift of the gab. " When ho first entered the arena as a c'own ' hu modelled his work after that of Wallet , a famous English jester , and soon found himself in the trout rank. His first great successes were made in the west and southwest , and iu these suctions of the country his nanm is still revered by the older in habitants. Dan Rico's popularity grew to such an extent , especially in the southwestern country , that in due time he started forth with a show of his own , the main features of which were himself and a wonderfully trained pure white .stallion named Excelsior. This led rival man agers to speak of tliu exhibition face tiously as "the ono-horse show , " but It was a winner all the same , and the horse proved such a drawing canl that when lie died his place was quickly supplanted by another milky steed who bore tlio .s.\mu nainu. This show was housed on a largo steamboat that sailed along the Mississippi river and its branches. When thu previously billed town was reached , the show would steam up to thu levee and unload and the small tent would soon _ bu raised over somu desirable spot. Rice would then harangue the populace from the hotel balcone , or from the court house steps If at a county seat. Hu was an admirable stump orator. Ho would speak llnently uiion any subject that was agitating the public mindand at the con clusion of his address would invite every body to visit "Dan Rice's Great and Only Show , " and there were fuwvho declined the invitation. If an opposition show got on his route in advance of him hu would steam ahead to whore it was about to ex hibit and stop in the same town anil make an appearance without having been pru- vlously billed , without a printed pro gramme , and without regard to the en- iragemcnt ho had thus cancelled , lie would simply load a procession of his horses and men through the town , ad- druss the people and invite them to visit his show. And they did. while the almost tenantless tents of his rival warned them against intruding on the route of the one- horse show. His competitors found in many man agerial battles that it was impossible to worst Dan Rico. To Ins ability as a clown ho added displays of public char- ity i and public spirit that won the sincere . . .lection of the people. One of the. city parks in Now Orleans is surrounded with an iron fence which hu erected. Ho made liberal donations toward the building of churches , orphan asylums , and market houses. Frequently while participating in the street processions of his show , lie scattered a hatful of coins among the boys who Hocked around him. Nor were these acts of munficcnco ever deterred by the fact that Rice's creditors were at the same time vainly clamoring for the money duo them. Ho never allowed pri- vale obligations to chock his ebullitions of public spirit. There are moro like him. him.Ono of his managerial wars landed him temporarily in liluo Eagle jail in Albany , N. Y. Ho had become involved in a bitter contest with the lain Dr. Spaulding , the father of the present Charles Spauld ing , manager of the Olympic theatre. St. Louis. Spaulding & Rogers , and after wards Spauldiug & Hidwell , conducted , theatrical and circus enterprises princi pally in St. Louis , Mobile , Memphis - phis , and the southwest. lan Rico's show aud ono of Dr. Spauldin < r's fell foul of each other , and the war had reached the depth of bitterness when both enterprises exhibited in Albany. At that time the Albany Whig , a now.s- paper noted for its virulence , was pub lished in Now York's capital city by ( icorge Jones , present editor of the Times , and was edited by the late Hugh Hastings , afterward publisher of the Commercial Advertiser. In its compos ing room was a printer named Chester Clarence Mooro. who was at times em ployed to write handbills for amusement enterprises , a peculiar How of language of which hu was possessed Htt'in" him for the task. Dr. Spauldiim happened across Moore and employed him to write a loiter lampooning Dan Hicu , and it was published in thu Whig. Rico also met Moore , and in ignorance of his relation to the matter , asked him if ho would un dertake to answer the attack made upon him. Thu printer promptly accented the task , and and the next issno of the Whig went for Spaulding hammer and tongs. Thenceforth the contest wnged bitterly , Moore writing on both hides ot the question with equal vim and viru lence. In ono of his articles on Spauld ing , which , of course , was signed by Rice , Moore , however , transcended the legal limit of vindictiveness , and the famous clown found himself in jail , charged with criminal libol. The Miit was afterward compromised , but hence forth , for a long time , one of Rico's most popular song * was entitled "itliio Kuglo Jail. " Spauldiug discovered the dual part Moore had played , and chidcd him for his porlidy. The printer replied : "Who was bettor fitted to write on both sides of the question ? No ono knew more about the matter than I. " After the many fierce quarrels between Rico and Spaulding it scorns odd that afterward they should have become as sociated in business , and it is but a few years since they were mutually interested in an amusement entertainment. Spaul- djng's son Harry , who was the apple of his eye , was the manager of a "Dan Rico show" when ho was attacked by a rtif- lian and sufl'ored injuries that eventually caused his death. It was a movable sbuilding , constructed by Spaulding & Jinlwelithat ; Dan Rico exhibited in for a while all over the country. While Spaulding & Hidwell took the " ( Jreat American Show" to Paris to bo exhib ited during the first exposition , they had constructed In thU country a largo building which could bu creeled and again taken down iiit sections. They expected to exhibit In this structure1 , but rival Trench man ager. ' ' invoked the opposition of a law forbidding , the erection of frame build ings In Paris , nnd so fho Yankeu Inven tion proved worthless. Rice bought the arrangement and showed it all over this country. During the season that ho ap peared in New York Inside this structure ho "iiuercd . everel y from financial re verses , brought on by Ins lack of busi ness tact bo serious was his condition that hu found himselfunable to leave the city to keep up engagements in Philadel phia and Baltimore. Hut his .spirits were not crushed by the aspect of nirair.s , and at the head of the three-sheet posters with which ho placarded the town ap peared in Mammoth letters the announce ment "Dan Rico Can't GutAway" ' The boldness and wit ot the clown so nmu-i'd the latu A very Smith th.it ho loaned Rico siilHeient money to bring him to this city , where he was always sure of a welcome and a fat pur.-u When the war broke out Rico found himself with a steamboat show on the Mississippi river and within the southern lines Ho was under engagement to ap pear in Mobile , Memphis , and other towns within thu confederacy. In this dclimma ho was unpatriotic enough to hoist the rebel Hag and continue on his prearranged course. Ho gradually steamed north , however , and when within the union lines ho Hung the stars and stripes to the bree/.o. That ho later made some amend for his seeming treason is still shown in an enduring manner in the town of Kric , this state. There is there erected a handsome sol diers' monument , ornate and expensive , and on its base these words are cut- "To Ihu memory of Ihu soldiers of Krie county who fell m thu defense of their country. Erected by Colonel Daniel Rice. " It is impossible for the boys of to-day to understand the popular enthusiasm that Dan Rice's appearance aroused. It is no exaggeration to say that ho was ono of the biggest men in the country. Dur ing one of Hie presidential campaigns he had Broadway Hi ing banners bearing this legion- "For President , Colonel Dan Rico , of Penn " His agents lauchod about it anil used it as an advertising scheme , but the famous elown , whoso head had been slightly turned by adulteration , entered into the matter .seriously. Even when his dream was dissipated he still strenu ously insisted that at least he should bo sent to congress. Forcpaiigli found him such an attraction that during the. season of 1805 , 1 think , he paid him thu sum of $ jr > ,000 to become an adjunct lo the Fore- paugh show. The following two seasons he received a salary of f-JT.OOO , which is the highest ever paid in tliu circus busi ness. ness.His downfall began with the desertion of his wife , who afterward became Mrs Charles Warren. He besran drinking to excess , and thenceforth managers found him unmanageable and unreliable , Re peated ullbrts have recently been made to woo him from his ways and utilize his ( lowers as a popular entertainer. Within a few years ho went lo California with John Robinson's show , nnd was greeted with an ovation. The old -1'Jcrs ' took his horses irom thu carriage and pulled the famous jester through the streets ; Thou sands packed thu tent | o g.r/.o upon him , but he did not appear. 1l was the same old story.

Baltimore Sun- Frederick Salxkorn , an aged German piano tuner , visited Catonsvilio , Md , in 1882 , in thu pursuit of me profession. While waiting for the car upon which ho was to return to Balti more , where ho was then living , his efo full upon the name of Schotta over a Hhoum aker'b shop in the village. "That Is the name of thu most intimatu friend of my youth , with whom I came to America ica , " he said to himself. "I wonder if tins can be a relative of his. " The stranger's curiosity was aroused to such an extent that he entered the little shop and made inquiry , eliciting the fact that the village shoemaker was a Ron of his old friendwho had adopted the name of Scotl and had boon lost sight of for years. The sons , however , had resumed the old name. After some conversation about old family matters the son remem bered that ho had received a copy of a German newspaper in which his natno appeared , but being unable to read the ( ierman language ho could not make out the purport of the article. The paper was found and handed to the stranger who read the article. which proved HO bo an advertisement for the heirs of Karl Fred erick August Schottu , a bachelor , who was born August 17,1803 , and had died some time before , leaving a fortune ol 50,000 marks. None of the heirs in Ger many having been able to establish theh claim , the advertisement was circulates in America. "That was your father's brother , and you and your brother are the heirs advertised for. I can testify to it1 said the stranger to his astonished auditors. The matter was placed m the hands of Mr Louis P. Ilonninghausen of the Haiti- more bar , who instituted proceedings which resulted in thu recognition of the Maryland heirs , and they liavo each re ceived three payments from the estate Their names are Charles B.
