The bullet-catching act came last on tee bill. Tho majority of those n the nudionce had soin tho late Pro fessor Herrmzcn, but new interest was add ad to it by the fact that a woman was to be tho target for tho rith balls. Tho marksmen who were to do the shooting six veterans of the Lafajo'te Guard marched on the stage rirs t, fol lowed by Mme. Herrmann, who was drc3?d in white shirt and black knick erbockers. The bullets were marked, tho plate nn9 of the everyday dinner variety was handed around for inspec tion, the guns were loaded and tho marksmen took their places. "Are you ready? Fire!" And Mme. Herrmann walked forward with the six bullets on the plate. 0! course the audience cheered. Herrmann III. is a clover sleight of hand pjrformer, auite as clever as his uncle.

I am writing you from Hie pictur esque little town of Hertford. "Lard Salisbury's jacket borough." as rivals call it, on account of the fact that its nearness to Harttietd and its earnest (if sleepy) conrervatism render it a favorite placo with the Cecil family. Lady Sals bury doe3 much of her shopping in Hert ford, driving in her bright blue chariot with her postillion and outriders, quite in the old style, and wearing usually a black mushroom bat like tbe one the Queen effects when at Osborne or in the Highlands. Hertford is one of our small est country towns; indeed, some of its inhabitants irreverently call it "our vil lage. f Nevertheless, it get3 much noto riety just now on sccount or tho fact that the Lord Mayor of London (whom Miss Edith EdwarIs, business test me dium, meets the public daily with readings. Spiritual advice given. Also seance, Wednesday evenings. Room 43, Halter Blk. LADIES pots can be taken out without eveu showing a seam. Tho onlv question is what can bodonowiih it?

There's that oM fur garment you haven't worn for years, because it is all "fagged out." Why. that will make a beautiful collarette; just the thing for fall and spring wear. Then just look at that garment. It is entirely "gone up," the hair stands tho wrong way on it, and it is worn and matteJ. "Its no earthly use." Well, it does look bad. but by tho process of glazing the fur is brought out and cleaned and then, when remotleled.it is like now. During July and August This year we will mako a specialty of Alterations and Repairs. Our system of measurement is such we enn tit you as well by mail as by personal measurement. We have a largo stock of new furs, all our own make, at very low price. Write to us. F..VOLKER, Practical Furrier, Cor. 12th & N Sts., - Lincoln, Nebraska one alwajB forgets to stylo "Sir Gcorgo" Faudel Phillips) has his country seat here. Halls Park really belongs to the im poverished Marquess Townshend, not Martinis, please note; even impecunious peers stick to their family traditions. The mortgagees arc glad enough to let it to the wealthy Phillips family, whodo an immenEO deal of good in the neigh, borhood, and fill tho houeo with smait parties which usually include minor royalties, now that the Lord Mayor hn3 ieceived a baronetcy and tho Queen's praise of his horsemanship, besides much kudus Tor his upholding of the civic dignity throughout a trying season. "Our village" has deemed him worthy of the highest honor it can Inflow the freedom of tho borough of Hertford. With sublime unconsciousness of any absurdity, it made him an otfer, which was graciously accepted; so the other day, before ho left for tho continent. Sir Gcorgo went in procession through the principal street, weatirg his robe3 of of lice, accompanied by his family, and escorted by tho local Mayor and cor Doration. Tho cheering was vociferous. Lady Pnillips was visibly touched. Tbe fact is that she has endeared herself to high and low by her good-hearted phil anthiopy. Dining the distress in winter she not only provides food for tho un employed and the ageJ, but trots into town through tin snow, with her petti coats tucked up to her knees, and ecc3 that her doles aro properly distributed; moreover, she and her daughters, hunt up the old people at their own homes. A lady onca said to her, refering to one of her benefactions: "It is really very gocd of you to feed all tbrsa p:or children, re gardless of creed." "Oh. no," rospontfed the good soul, in her out spoken way, "poor little tbinge, I was thinking of their little Mum turns'." So now you ceo why Lord Mayor's people aro so popular. Well, he received the freedom of the weo borough, amid many pi imitive dec orations and much emotion. Ho also planted an oak tree in commemoration of the Jubilee. This oak boasts a dis tinguished ancestry. It is grown from an acorn from the great oak at Pans hanger, Count2SB Cow pet's place (this is the largest oak in England, dating from the defeat of the Spanish Armada, in memory of which Elizabeth plant el jt. It is a ni3gniticant tree.) Af er the speeches tho Lord Mayor went to a ga--den party at the residence of the Mayor of Hertford such an oinnutxi yather-um.- Tho Lord Mayoress was much congratulated, and laughingly declared that she had now cn'y one ambition left in life- which was to sit down. The Duke and Duchess of Connaught have been spending a fow dajs in tho neighborhood, staing at Bayfordbury, with Georgina, Countess or Dudley. The King of Siam does not find this tropical weather too hot for sight seeing. Ho did not seem to caro for Harrow much, though he hugged his son effusively and showed a great compre hension of slang! But he was delighted with Kcw Gardens. Westminister Abb&y, too, pleased him vastly, and enabled him to exhibit his knowledge of our history. He asked to see Queen Mary's tomb. "She was beheaded," he remarked, gravely. "Where's tho other ono?" In quiry elicited tho fact that ho meant tho other decapitated sovereign, namely, Charles 1! You know, I supposo, that the King of Siam carries about with bim a "Pig Album?" One of these is sometimes found in the drawing-room of some so e'ety woman of Bohemian proclivities. It is simply a book with blank pages, to which every visitor is asked to con. tribute a drawing of a pig, which must bo done while tho artist is blindfolded. When the King was at Berne ho victim ized the stale fathers of the Federal Council, whoso dignity was badly in jured by the process; but they did not 1 ke to refuse. The pigs which resulted were sp!endid specimens! Their tails for tho most par t grew out of their snouts, and their eyes appeared in the middle of their bodies! I wonder if the King ask ed Lord Salisbury for a contribution to his collection! So we arc to have Forbes Robertson again at the Lyceum, and, rumor de clares, Mrs Patrick Campbell too, but that i"b not confirmed. Sir Henry Irving is very fond of Forle3 Robertson, who returns the good will of "the chief." Forbes Robertsoa will play Alexci, the 6on whom Peter the Great tortured to death in prison; while the traitress Eh i)ire.vne, who cost him his life, will fall to tbe lot of Ethel Barrymore, the pretfy girl who made such a bit in "Secret Ser vice" Great expectations are being formed of joung Lawrence Irving'splay. It would se;m that tho eons of acfrs are going to develope in to play wrigh's all round; for I har that Georgo Ban croft has just sold a higvly promising work to Arthur Bourchicr. It is in tbrea acts and is called "Angela Therein." Wihis Liirly is dead. Wallace Did Ltarly say f o? Willis Of course cot. Why do you ask 6uch a fool questiou? Wallace It rounds just like him. Miss Anna Rivett has charge of the hair dressing parlors at Mrs. Gosper's millinery store. All kinds of hair work and hair goods at reasonable prices. All wcrk guaranteed to be satisfactory. Sutton & Hollowbush have invented a cough drop. They call it the S. & H. Sutton & Hollowbush, and it is a good one Stop and get one on your way to the theatre. It will save you a spasm of coughing.
