Karly last week Chris Anucrson was
ploHcd up on the Ktrrot by the police. Mo
was suffering Intensely fiom the effects of n
prolonged sprco and very soon nftor txilng
placed In n roll nt the station housa ho wai
attacked by delirium. Whllo In this condi
tion lie. 1 1 lad to butt his nrnlns out against
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.

congr.itulatud the society upon this
Kiowth nnd welcomed the congress
to Washington. "Tnoro have boon dlf-
llcutllos lu the organization , and
now obstacles have mot the board nt many
'
points. These troubles at the tlmo porhap's
caused some friction and utiplonsuttt focllng ,
but In view of the grout success which hnj
attended the labors of the society and its

by Mrs. Harrison. On bchulf of the congress
she thanked the pruiidont-gonornl for the

assembles in Washington not only for tbo
purpose of business , but also to recall his
toric memories that bind the member ! ! closely
together , an J that should perpetuate the vir
tu os of the purest nnd best days of the re
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
collection of works upon American history.
The national hy.iiu was then sung nnd the
congress adjourned till tomorrow.

to TIIK BII : . ] John M. Thurston of Omaha ,
who last week announced that ho would not
allow his name to bo presented as a vice
presidential candidate , arrived yesterday at
tlio ( Jrnnd Pnuillc.
"All talir of nominating a ticket which
plinll unite the Hhtlno and Harrison
risen people is nonsense , " bo said.
" 1'hls Is to bo a campaign of
'
principles not of men. If thoio' Is nothing
higher than the personality of our candidate
wo ought to go out of politics. Democratic
faithfulness to party Is the secret of th lr
strength. If Hill is nominated there will bo
kickers , but the wbojo democratic party will
vote for him. A close light is educational.

SnrrrsKfnl Itill ,
Imposition hall was last evening the scene
of the llflh annual bull ol the Omaha Paid
Firemen's Benevolent a'sscintlou , and n
thoroughly enjoyable nnalr It was. Over
1,500 tickets had boon sola lo the admiring
friends of the firemen. Not onh was the
spacious dancing lloor nt the hnl'l crowded ,
but there were hundreds in the gat *
lories who viewed with the keenest
Interest Iho constantly recurring kaleido
scopic changes on Iho tloor balow. It was nu
animated and fascinating scono. The cure *
fully brushed uniform * ot Iho Itromen , doo-
oratud with shining buttons and unity boti *
tonnleres , formed Interesting portions of a
picture , and Iho wearers of ihose sumo tail- M
forms received their full Mm roof atieultbn
from hundreds of feminine optics.

that the uniform don't do It all , for It U
nu axiom as old as Uio hills ttmtu pollcomnii
"isn't in It" with n llrcman , thoucb ho wears

plain , simple trttlh of ttip nmtlor Is that a

lives nt tbo risk of his own
carrying frightened nnd fainting men
and women down tun ; ladder * at the hour of

, groping along -

persists in carrying out. Just such cccunlrlo
