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.

the park can realize the sensation can-ed
by thu appearance in "Tho How" of the

7 to 10 "The How" is the happy riding-
ground of the brain workers , who find
thu promenade a cheval in the sweet

thu day's toil. Stroll into thu park at
this timu and you will see among "tho

nent gentlemen who in a couple of
hours from now will bo clad in thu ju
dicial ermine , and engaged , with or with

in which you may , perchance , be lilling

bad vanished ; for the next hour or .so the
children and their ponies have it all to
themselves , and it is noon before "The
Uow" enters upon its next phase. 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

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

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. Ho is now living in Cincin

friends for the necessaries of life.

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. Schotta am
