ploHcd up on the Ktrrot by the police. Mo
was suffering Intensely fiom the effects of n

attacked by delirium. Whllo In this condi

the cell door and succeeded In cutting a bnd
gash In his head , from which the blood
llowcd freely.
About this tlmo It xvas decided that xomo-
thing ought to ho dnnu In the c.ito , nnd some
thing Illco tweuty-llvo hours utter Aiidowon
was picked up ho wat huuted to the county
Jail. Jullor Joe Miller refused to receive the
man , us no order uccompnncd him. Then
after some pnrloyAmlerson was hauled bank
to the city Jnll , and ng.iln locked up.Nogotla-
ttoiis were oHnod | ! between the city and
county authorities , nnd of course weio con
ducted through tno proper diplomatic
channels. In the meantime Anderson was
rapidly getting no bettor. Finally It was
decided that ho might bn removed to the
county hospital. On Thursday ho was takou
thither , and on Unlurdny ho died.
Again thn ijucillon of who wni ro pon.ilblo
cnmoiin , nnd the body * lay nt the rounty
hospital until yottordar , waiting some do-
clslon as to who should bury It , Last even
ing it was Inarncd that Anderson had enough
tnonnv to pay for a f unernl , nnd so Swanson
ft Ynllcm were given charge of the corpse
anil will bury ittodny.
Hut this leaves the question botwnon the
county nnd city itlll open. Anderson's tlfo
might hnvo been saved if ihcro hnil bean n

who may bo admitted to the enmity hospital ,
nnd the city haa no place hut tlio police

BERNHARDT IN "LA TOSCA"

Mmo. Sarah liornhanlt long slnco com
pelled the world of nrt and loiters lo acknowl
edge her Irnnscondonl genius as nn actress ,
and no critique nt this day , however clabo-
ralo or analytical , can add sensibly to that
which Is ulroady matter of common knowl
edge concerning this great artiste. Tho'J,003
person * who wllnossod her characterization
of La Tosca at tbo Doyd theater last evening
had promise from the acutcst critics of two
hemispheres of a mastorploco In dramatic art ,
nnd the great tragedienne amply tilled the
measure of expectation.
"La Tosca" was presented In French , not a
word of Knclish was spoken. It Is qulto
llKrly that nlno-tontha of that vast audlouco
did not understand ths lines of the piny ,
caught nothing of the explanatory Ktory un
folded in the dialogue , and lott much of the
lorco and meaning In thu actions of the ox-
coUont supporting company.
Hut tbosQ were minor considerations. The
Ihrong had coiiio lo see nnd hear MacJamo
Dornhartll : lo sit under tlio spoil of her
genius nnd to feel the swily of her magnetic
piiMoniillty ; lu see her tender nnd carosslnir
uiiilur the divine passion nnd a human tk-rcss
under the mnd lurj of a terrible wrong ; to
u ltne s the agonizing mental conflict over a
lovei's bbrilblu tortureto ; catch the subtleties
of \vpndcrfully acu to expression , tlio glance
of tho'oVc , the movement of facial lines , the
llfting'of'lin ' ' eyebrow ; In short , to observe nn
nrtlsto of Incomparable powers play the
eamut of human emotions from tondorost
love to Ilorcost , rovcnKe.
It was for this Ihut tbo people eagerly
bought up the body of tbo theater last'weok ;
for this that 500 porions stood In line at thu
theater yesterday morning nnd bought every
scat in tbo lopmost srullorv ; for this thnt
belutoft biiycru paid s | ) uulalors $ ' ( , $3 and
? IO for flinglo seats ; and Iboy were not dts-
appoiiitad. It was in every way a great , per
formance , nnd Madame Dcrnbardt's .scene lu
the third act would of llsolt have compen
sated thn auditor ) for any sacrifice they
might have mado.

points. These troubles at the tlmo porhap's
caused some friction and utiplonsuttt focllng ,

public.
Mrs. William C. Aboil then read her re
port. U recommends the building of a na
tional null for the national souiaty , to be lo
cated In Washington , to bo the property in
fee of the Daughters of the Revolution , uud
should bo thn finest building over owned by
women. Mnrblo-from Virginia and Tennessee -
see , t'rniitto from Massachusetts and Vir
ginia should combine for strength nnd beauty
in its construction. The tiouso' should
ha purely American , designed and
built by American artisans. It
should be a great hall for lectures ,
addresses nnd general conventions of society
and could bo utilized ns u music hall to bring
lu u rove-lino. There should bo a library un
surpassed In nil its branches containing tbo
lurgost and most complete and most reliable

The national hy.iiu was then sung nnd the
