AMUSEMENTS. Grand—\\ httenlde'* Richelieu. A pood audience in quantity and quality greeted Walker Whiteside at the Grand last night and throughout Bulwer’s play manifested its approval in generous applause. Three curtain calls for the star evidenced his conquest of his audience. Walker Whiteside grows—slowly to be sure, hut still he grows. Gifted with few natural histrionic advantages—dainty to womanliness in stature, round of face, limited in range and power of voice, imaginative in mind rather than original-—still he persists and improves. The tenacity of purpose and unlimited sacrifice of toil which this young actor brings to his art have already placed him well to the front in the legitimate. These qualities will advance him still further. It is always a carefully studied and painstaking piece of work that Whiteside gives. Notably so is his Richelieu. The costuming of the character helps him over the defect of stature, but there is too much of the imitation about his presentation—one feels that one has heard that tone and gesture before. This is a common fault of actors of the legitimate. They are stagy, unnatural, violent, absurd, with throaty, affected tones and whistlings of breath through teeth and “ah’s, a-ha's.” W hat a pity that some actor does not evince sufficient genius—no, simply common sense enough to say things naturally and not create anti-climax after anticlimax by extravagance. Mr. Whiteside’s only originality in Richelieu is in acentuating the fox in this great statesman. Every glance, every motion, is designed to interpret the vulpine characteristics. Thus a background is made for the Hon which occasionally appears at the supreme moments. In this respect Mr. Whiteside gives a remarkably faithful portraiture of the Richelieu of Lytton and of history. Mr. W r hiteside improves his support as well as himself. It was much better than heretofore, but there is still ample room. Sir. Paulding lacks distinction. He is altogether too anxious. He has no reserve power. He is a man of possibilities, but he has yet to learn that art throws a subduedness and calmness over even the most volcanic violence. Mr. Paulding actually got out of breath last night in the scene where Richelieu feigns death, and this, too, from no lack of lung power. The rest of the support was fair. Mr. Sturgeon was adequate as De Barradaz, and Miss Wolstan. though lacking in personality, was satisfactory as Julia. Quite the best thing done was Mr. Ben Thorne’s Louis XIII. He looked like a king stepped down from some old picture of elegant but effeminate and dissolute court life, and his grace captivated every lady in the house. A New Scene In “Richelieu.” Whatever Walker Whiteside puts his hand to he does thoroughly. In his fine production of “Richelieu” that called out such flattering applause at the Grand last night, Mr. Whiteside has restored a comedy scene, showing the light, humorous vein in Bulwer’s make-up. The scene has probably never been given before In this country, at least not within the memory of present day theater-goers. It opens the third act as Mr. Whiteside produces the play, but is really the beginning of the second act in the original copy. It is a love scene at the home of De Mauprat which that brave fellow' and Julia de Mortimer carried on under difficulties on account of the spying presence of De Beringhen. an aggravating fellow whom the king has set to watch De Mauprat. The love making with the intruder continually standing by furnished Bulwc-r a splendid opporunity for contrast with the intense situation soon to follow, when De Mauprat is tricked into taking an oath to murder the Cardinal. The ac tion is brisk and has almost as many laughs in it as a farce. It made a hit with the audi- ; YOUR t HEADACHE I J A <*> t May be the result of excessive coffee !■ ± <B> drinking. f :: t TRY POSTUM.

ence last night and its restoration gives further evidence of Mr. Whiteside’s natural gift of stage craft. Mr. George Hoey, the veteran actor, who played with Booth and Barrett and who is now associated with Mr. Whiteside as press representative, never saw the scene put on the stage until last night. It is in no prompt book extant in this country and was dropped from the original work so many years ago that one may pick up any modern edition of Bulwer and not find this comedy scene. It is interesting to know' how Mr. Whiteside rediscovered it. His “xpianaiion is that when he first reacl Bulwer s plays he was fourteen years old. He remembered the scenes in “Richelieu,” that play leaving a strong impression on his mind. He remembered the old comedy scene, but after years had passed and he desired to produce the play he noticed that particular scene had been omitted from the prompt books he could find. He remembered the scene as one laid near a fountain. It worried him that he could never find it and could find no one who had ever seen it produced. summer he spent a day in Bretano’s New York house, going through all the copies of "Richelieu” the firm could dig up. but without success. Then he went to the Astor Library and In an old edition of Bulwer’s plays his search was rewarded with finding the lost scene. Instead of it being laid at a fountain there was no fountain in it. But he did find that at a very interesting situation w'hen the loveTs were trying to rid themselves of the king’s spy. Julia naively told the spy she had lost her glove in the garden “near the fountain,” and desired him to find it. Naturally when Mr. Whiteside read the play in his boyhood, he had a mental picture of the fountain and until his eyes saw the missing scene he thought the fountain figured in the play. There are two other obsolete scenes which Mr. Whiteside has found and he promises to restore them in his production next season. Park—“ Hogan's Alley.” “Hogan’s Alley” has a number of unusually clever specialty people, who do their work well and who are excellent entertainers. Eddie O'Dell, the tramp of the piece, does a turn in the second act that is a vaudeville gem. He has schemed out an acrobatic act that is new in Its line. With it he mixes a lot of bright talk that amuses the audience, while his twists and queer turns put the finishing touches on the act. Mazie King's toe dancing is an enjoyable feature. She is a pretty, graceful young woman, who dresses daintily and is well up in her art. She is seen in a couple of specialties, both of which immensely pleased the Park's large audiences yesterday, while in the play she is the Bowery girl Liz. The Le Page sisters are fine dancers, and their quick changes form an Interesting feature of the opening act. Lillian Shirley and W. J. Hogan are both blessed with good voices and they sing the latest popular songs. W. H. Macart and Mazie King introduce a Bowery bit, while Thompson and Bunnell have a good musical act, with which Indianapolis theater goers are more or less familiar, the couple having been seen here a number of times in the past. Gilmore and Leonard, who are starred in the cast, are very bright comedians, and say and do a great many funny tilings during the performance. They also introduce a good specialty in the closing act. A score of people, in all, contribute to the entertainment, and “Hogan's Alley” is really one of the best, if not the best, farce-comedies seen at the Park thus far this season. The action is lively throughout, the second and third acts being particularly good. It will remain at the Park to-day and to-morrow, with daily matinees, and will be followed Thursday by “The Prodigal Father,” another fareecomedy which is very well known and liked by the patrons of the Park. Empire— Mile. Ani’s Mona refit*. Madamoiselle Ant does not appear with her company, which opened at the Empire yesterday afternoon for a season of three days. Her manager says she is seriously 111. The company presents an excellent vaudeville bill, with many novel features, and free from smut. The feature of the show is the performance of Zeryni, the hand balancer, w'ho has developed his shoulders and arms until his body appears to be but an attachment to them. Zeryni’s legs are about the size of those of a boy of fourteen, while his arms suggest those of John L. Sullivan. His most sensational performance is a jump from a platform about four feet above the stage, clearing a flight of steps about nine feet long. Dolline Cole sings alternately a high soprano and a boyish baritone, doing both with skill. Morrisey and Rich have a very clever mixed sketch, in which Miss Rich renders the song of the “Only Wench that Ever Turned White,” to the accompaniment of a side-step dance that is as cute as a bunch of monkeys. Barney and Russell's imitations ■ and changes are artistic and amusing.* The Deltorellis produce a grotesque and novel musical act, with the aid of electric lights and other accessories. Others of the troupe are Emma Francis, in a very neat exhibition of buck and wing dancing; Williams and Adams, in an eccentric comedy sketch that actually contained a lot of new jokes, and Florence Townsend and Grace Celeste in songs and dances. The closing burlesque is as good as most closing burlesques, and does not run to indecency, though in spots it is too broad. Election returns will be read from the stage to-night as fast as they come in.

T> Kel>uil<! Biaylor'ft Opera House. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 11.—It has been decided to build another theater in Terre Haute, notwithstanding that the new Grand is to be opened in a few weeks. The Grand is being erected by the Terre Haute House Company. Since the destruction of Naylor’s opera house, more than a year ago, Terre Haute has had no theater except the Summer Casino at Harrison’s Park. The heirs of Wilson Naylor have now decided to build a theater on the site of the Naylor Opera House, and it will be known as the Naylor. The estate of Mr. Naylor is managed by Mr. B. G. Cox. his son-in-law. who is the managing partner of the firm of Hulman & Cos. An architect from New York arrived to-night to confer with Mr. Cox and Mr. J. B. Dickson, the theatrical manager, about plans for the new house. Note* of tli* Stage. W. S. Gilbert's new play, “The Fortune Teller.” appears to have been a failure, just as his preceding drama was. Amanda Fabris has been engaged for an important role in “The Circus Girl” Company, which Charles Frohman is organizing Miss Catherine Campbell, the Indianapolis actress now a member of the St. Louis Theatrical Stock Company, spent Sunday with friends here. Mounet-Sully has Just built a palace In southern France, near his birthplace, where he will live after his resignation from the Theater Francais. Walker Whiteside’s new play, “The Man In Black,” will be given at the Grand tonight and at to-morrow’s matinee, "Hamlet” being the bill to-morrow night. E. H. Sothern has temporarily retired his new r play, “Change Alley,’’ and last night at the New York Lyceum produced “The Lady of Lyons,” with Virginia Harned as Pauline. It is understood Mr. Sothern will alternate the two plays on the road this season. When Harry B. Smith accepted the order from Kirke La Shelle for the libretto of a new comic opera for Frank Daniels but one stipulation bound him. This was that at least one situation for Mr. Daniels in the new opera should be so entirely novel that there would be no hesitation upon the part of the public in pronouncing it a clever invention of the author. In "The Idol's Eye” Mr. Smith has given good measure in the fulfillment of his contract. He has Mr. Daniels save a man from drowning, and be legally punished for his good act. This comes because the man whose life lie saved was trying to commit suicide, and who by force of a Hindoo law r is legally dead, though living, and his rescuer is deemed guilty of any crime the “dead" man may commit. In addition to this. Mr. Daniels is made to impersonate a Hindoo idol, and to figure as an English sbldier of the Tommy Atkins sort. A source of much merriment, also, is that all the women adore him when he has his coat on and detest him when he takes it off. Clean-cut characterization of heroes of romance is the forte of Robert Mantell. It has been his aim to produce anew play every year. This season he offers what he thinks is the most effective drama he has had in his career. Its title is “A Secret Warrant.” The time is one of the interesting periods in French history, in 172**, when, under the rule of the regent. Due d'Orleans, intrigue ran riot in the court, and an honest man was able to preserve himself from injury only by the exercise of a keen wit and a long sword The regent’s favorite practically ruled the kingdom, and it was a serious matter to offend her. A captain of the King's Guards, one Louis de Beaumont. was unfortunate enough to do this, and it was only by hi indomitable courage and quick wit that he managed to save himself from th“ I’as*ne. The character of the captain fits Mr. Mantell exactly, and In this new play he

Prize Figlit That Failed. A prize tight to the finish between Jimmy Carroll and Elmer Corkins was advertised

for last night at Flaschkamp’s Hall, on Hillside avenue, and it was understood that tnere was an old grudge to be settled. A small crowd gathered at the hall, but the pres nee of Sergeant Lowe and four patrolmen seated the larger portion of the spectators away. When it came to a fight there was only SS.SO gate receipts, and the men, of eour.-e, refused to fight for this. Everylrody agree to let It go at a three-round contest for points, and this was given. Carroll had decidedly the best of it. There is ta k of arranp.ng a match between the men tp be pulled off in some adjoining county. FOUR ROUNDSENOUGH. (hoy n ski .Didn't Want to Hurt Hi* Man Any 'lore. GALVESTON, Tex., Oct. 11.—At the end of the fourth round to-night, upon Choynski remarking to the referee, “For God’s sake call the fight off, I don't want to iart the man any more,” the contest between Choynski and Herman Bernau, of Texas, was decided in favor of the Californian. The fight from the first was all in Choynski’s favor. He could have knocked the German out at any time had he cared to follow up his leads. In the fourth round Choynski floored Bernau twice. Bernau claims to have been sick. Fought Six Konnd*. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 11.-Jack Bonner and “Alysterious” Billy Smith fought six rounds at the Quaker City Athletic Club to-night. Although Bonner had an advantage of fourteen pounds in weight it was a pretty even contest throughout. Bonner did the best work in long-reach punching, while Smith showed up well in the clinches with one hand free. No decision was, rendered. Police Interfered. TRENTON. N. J., Oct. 11.—Tom Shortell, of Brooklyn, gave Jimmy O'Donovan a terrible whipping at the Trenton Athletic Club to-night. In the seventh round the police interfered because of alleged fouls by Shortell and Referee Kreps decided the bout a draw. CUP WON BY BALTIMORE FIRST TIME ANY CLUB HAS TAKEN IT TWICE IN SUCCESSION. Boston Got hnt One Game oft Tie Five Ployed—Small Attendance at Yesterday’s Contest. BALTIMORE, Oct. 11.—The Temple cup will stay in Baltimore another year. It has been won twice in succession for the first time in its history, and if the Orioles take it again it is theirs absolutely. The former champions also take 60 per cent, of the money paid in at the gates during the three games in Boston and the two played here, while the winners of the pennant will get but 40 per cent., unless, as is generally believed, the players have agreed among themselves to divide the spoils equally. Today's game, like all the others of the series, save the first one, was an easy proposition for the Baltimoreans, who won much as they pleased, while the visitors never appeared to think they had any chance whatever. The attendance was so small that the management refused to give the exact number and so utterly devoid of enthusiasm that scarcely a ripple of applause occurred. The spectators appeared to be glad when the game, which was one of the shortest on record, was over and also that the season was over with it. There may have been a thousand people on the grounds, but a better estimate would place the attendance at 750. This fact, in view of the pleasant weather which prevailed, indicates that Baltimore baseball enthusiasts have had a surfeit of the sport for the time being and that they do not look on a Temple-cup game as being anything out of the ordinary. At its conclusion both tehms disbanded and many of the players left for their homes, tw'o of them, Jennings and Kelly, to prepare for the early assumption of marital responsibilities.

Oct. 11.—The Star says the riding of Tod Sloane, the American jockey, in the trials at Newmarket greatly amuses the onlookers, adding that his “seat is even more grotesque than Simms.” The win of the Loriliard-Beresford stable on Saturday, when the American colt Dakota won the Duke of York stakes, is very popular and the newspapers generally praise the open and sportsmanlike manner in which lairtllard’s horses are run. The Dailv Mail says: “The Loriliard-Beresford stable does not go in for heavy gambling like the Dwyers, when they had their Yankee horses here, and occasionally Mr. Oroker, whose losses on Montauk, £6.000 ($30,000) in his first race, and on Americus, must have put piles of money into the pockets of the British bookmakers.” Two-Mile Running Race. CINCINNATI 0., Oct. 11.—A race of two miles was the attraction at Latonia to-day. The public plunged on Barton, and he went to the post a hot favorite over Endurance, who was well backed at sto 2.

PARCHED SOIL SOAKED 1 AND DANGER OF A SHORT WHEAT CROP PROBABLY AVERTED. Kninfall Im General, anil Quite Heavy in Some Sections—First Wetting in Two to Three Months. CHICAGO, Oet. 11.—Rain fell generally to-day throughout the parched belt of the Western States and the long, disastrous drought has at last been broken. Reports from Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Minnesota show quite general rains, with indications of continuing during the next twenty-four hours. Tfie rain in Nebraska is the first of any consequence that has fallen in that State for six weeks, while Kansas is receiving her first wetting for two months. According to the Weather Bureau, an unusually extensive area of low barometer extends from the Rocky mountains eastward over the Mississippi and Ohio valleys and the lake region. Within that area since Saturday morning general showers have fallen. The heaviest rainfall reported is at Wichita, Kan., where 2.8S ihches were registered. The temperature is above the normal in nearly all sections except the Southwest. The drought just broken has for severity and wide area of country affected never been equaled in the period covered by authoritative record in this country. Crops have suffered, fruit has been blasted, fires have leaped up as if from spontaneous combustion in field and woodland, and every moment of the time since the middle of August has been crowded with danger to cities. Farmers have been hauling water for their stock—even buying the fluid in many sections of the country. Many small towns throughout the country have suffered severely from fire. Conservative estimates place the reduction in acreage of winter wheat at 23 per cent. Thousands of acres throughout the affected district have never been plowed, the ground being in such a condition as to render farm work next to impossible. To stock raisers the rain is a godsend, as pastures which have been dried up for weeks will be available once more. In many localities it has been necessary to feed stock for two or three weeks past. Weather Bureau officials said this afternoon that indications point to a continuance of the rainfall for thirty-six hours more. What the Weather Map Show*, WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—General relief from the long drought that has prevailed in the central portion of the country and In parts of the East is show r n by the map issued by the w'eather bureau to-day. This shows that rain fell in some places quite heavily last night for a considerable distance west of the Mississippi valley northward in an irregular line to Canada and eastward along the southern border of Pennsylvania to the Atlantic coast with the exception of Florida. The depression which was central over Minnesota this morning is moving in a southeasterly direction and the Indications favor rain for the entire New England and middle Atlantic States region. During to-day it continued to rain in the region from the Mississippi valley eastward to the Atlantic coast south of Pennsylvania line and the conditions are favorable for continued moisture. In that region the weather is also quite warm, the temperature at many places being much higher than at this time of year. In western Minnesota, the southern portion of the Dakotas, parts of Nebraska and Kansas and the greater portions of Texas there has been but little if any rain. Within the next twen-ty-four hours it is expected that the whole of the country east of Mississippi will have experienced rains. Some of the rainfalls reported during the last twelve hours as follows: Chattanooga, Tenn. (inches), 1.02; Vicksburg, .28; New Orleans, .62; Grand Haven, Mich., .74: Green Bay, Wis., .40; Alpena, Mich., 1.34; Detroit, .30; Wichita, Kan., 2.72. In some of these districts this rainfall is in addition to that reported by the bureau this morning.

Relief In the Sonth. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 11.—Reports from the Central Southern States say the backbone of the long, trying dry spell has been thoroughly broken and relief has come to suffering thousands of human beings as well as animals and parched and thirsty plantlife. The rain which fell in Memphis last night and during the early morning hours w r as the first which has fallen for six weeks and dire consequences had already resulted from the drought, with worse to follow if relief did not come. Sickness of man and beast, resulting from the choking dust and the lack of a supply of water in the country districts and great damage to crops, were some of the consequences of the drought. The rains of lest night were very general, being spread over a very large proportion of the territory most in need of them. Throughout the entire Mississippi valley rains have fallen. Texas, Oklahoma and the entire region south of the Ohio have been treated to grateful showers. The heaviest rainfalls have been reported in Georgia. Too Late to Save Wheat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MT7NCIE, Ind., Oct. 11.—The long spell of drought in Delaware county was broken slightly this morning with a rainstorm that began soon after midnight. The rain has not been heavy, but the dust has disappeared. It is estimated that in all the county there are not a half dozen wheat fields that will be worth protecting, and wheat will be plowed up for corn next spring. Farmers who have wheat here are holding it, and many of them believe that it will sell for $1.50 a bushel. Eight Weeks of Dronght Broken. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, lnd., Oct. 11.—The drought which has threatened the total destruction of the Wabash county wheat crop was broken here to-day by a brisk shower. It has been nearly eight weeks since this part of the State has had a good rain and the w'heat crop has made no progress. Fires in the fields and forests and along the Big Four and Wabash Railroad lines, which have done some damage, W'ere extinguished by the rain. Not Enough to Do Good. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Oct. 11.—The most extended drought this part of Indiana has passed through in years was partially broken to-day by a slight rain, sufficient to lay the dust and cheek the disastrous fires in the fields. The rain did not fall in sufficient quantities to soak the ground and did not come soon enough to save thousands of acres of wheat. The farmers are praying for rain, so that the ruined wheat can be sown during the next ten days. Not Too Lute for Wheat. Special to the IndianapoliSfJournal. VINCENNES, Ind., Oct. 11.—A good rain fell here to-day, ending the long, disastrous drought in this vicinity. This is the first rain that has visited this section of country for ninety days and the people generally are rejoicing. But very little wheat has been sown and the rain to-day will enable the farmers to finish sowing and insures an average acreage in southern Indiana. First Rain in Eleven Weeks. Special to the Indianapclls Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 11.—A drought of eleven weeks’ duration was broken by a number of good showers to-day. They were worth many thousands of dollars to the farmers, who will now save their wheat, for which a large acreage has been prepared, but was held awaiting rain. Stopped tlie Forest Fires. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind., Oct. 11.—The long continued drought was broken, this afternoon by several heavy showers and a prospect for more. These materially lessened the danger from several disastrous forest fires which have been raging for several days past in this and adjoining counties. A FORECAST FOR TO-DAY.

The Philosopher Explains What lie Thinks Is McKinley’s Duty. Chicago Post. “I wondher what In all ails McKinley,” said Mr. Hennessy. “What about?” demanded Mr. Dooley. “That he don’t open up war again Spain,” said Mr. Hennessy. “I don’t know, I’m sure,” Mr. Dooley rejoined. “He’d ought to, that’s sure. Here is Cuba bein’ depop'lated an’ rooned an’ here ar-re we smokin’ cigars made in Wisconsin an’ our commerce bein’ desthroyed an’ all th’ big *vpe in th’ newspapers wearin’ out an’ yet n.) fight. It can’t be that he's afeerd. We wud ate Spain up in a day, we wvd indeed. Look at our raysoorces. Look at th’ men we cud put in th’ field: Fitzsimmons, th’ Boston baseball nine, th’ Clan-na-Gael Gya-ards, th’ Englewood Cadets an’ Joseph Meddle, th’ editor iv th’ Thrybune. Cud anny totterin' dy-nasty iv Europe overcome that mar-rtial array, as th’ fellow says. Yes, I know they have some brave editors in Spain—as gallant a lot iv la-ads as iver slung a pen. But they’re not in th’ same class with our sojers. Th’ columns iv their pa-apors ain’t so long. They can’t do th’ sthrat-ee-gee that a good American editor is brought up on. "McKinley ought to rely upon thim more thin he does. He’s not got th’ thrue spirit an’ they’re th’ la-ads to give it to him. He wastes too much time in palaverin’. He slnds over Gin’ral Woodford to say to th’ Queen iv Spain: ‘Madam, th’ Prisident presints his compliments to ye an’ wants to know if ye won’t be so kind as to come to some arrangement in Cuba,’ he says. Thin iv’rybody takes a fresb light an’ waits. Bimeby th’ Queen comes in an' says she: ’Presint to Misther Mack renewed assurances iv me mos’ distinguished con-sidera-tion an’ tell him to go to blazes,’ she says. ‘l’ll communicate ye’er majesty’s roar at wanst,’ says Woodford. Whin he rayturns he says: ‘Th’ Prisidint desires me to convince ye iv his more thin fatherly affection, to assure ye that ye’er th’ on’y girl he iver really cared f’r, but he’s sorry fr to tell ye in reply to ye’er rayquist iv even date that he has other engage-mints that’ll prevint him fr’m acceptin’.’ An’ so it goes an' nawthin is done. “Now, if we left It to th’ newspa-apers they'd be no small talk. Woodford’d go over to th’ widow woman with wan small child, an’ him a King, an’ he’d say: ‘Look here, we don’t want no more nonsense, see! Will ye give us Cuba, or will w© take it off ye?’ An’ if she rayfused, thin th’ Prisldlnt’d call out th’ Mulligan Gya-ards an’ th' Aurora Zouaves an’ Father Macehew’s Fife an’ Dhrum Corpse an* th’ Civic Featheration an’ th’ Woman's Club an’ all th’ r-rest iv our fightin’ strength, an' he’d confront th’ Span yard with solid, warlike columns iv th’ Thrybune an’ he’d nail Cuba an’ in a few years we’d have th’ island prosperous an’ happy an’ ’d be raisin' our cwn supplies iv yellow fever ’stead iv importin’ thim fr'm abroad. “What cud Spain do? Wan good editor cud blow all her hundhred ships into smiti ereens with a single article on circulation an’ th Spanish ar-rmv iv wan hundhred thousan’ men’d crumble befure th’ gallant ehar-rge iv wan American haekraan. You betcher life. “When th’ movement to free Ireland Infeeln’ quantities of dtnnymite was goin’ on, a man be th' name iv Grady bad a pa-aper he called ’Th’ Explosive' down on Halsted sthreet. It was a pathritc pa-aper an' It advised me an’ others f’r to go aerost th’ sea an’ spoil th’ ancient architecsure iv Great Britain. I didn’t go. But wan day I got mo a small piece iv gas pipe plugged at both inds with a fuse in wan. an’ took Dorsey down with me to see Grady.

H. P.Wasson&Co. ye fixed with th’ stuff?’ he says. ’I am,’ says I. an’ I pulled th’ gns pipe. He tur-med while as his shirt. ’Take that out,’ he says. ‘Take it away fr’m here or I’ll—Oh, merciful powers, that I should have let this loonaiic into me office. Take it away. I tell ye.’ ‘Ye needn’t be afraid,’ 1 says. ‘l'm very careful. I'll give it to Dbrsey. Here. Tim.’ an’ I tossed th’ gas pipe to him. Grady gives a scream iv turror an’ in two leaps was at th’ window. Another wan took him to th’ sthreet an’ it was a whole day befure he cud be injoced to come back. He changed th’ pa-aper into an organ iv th’ undhertakers’ association.” "An’ what iv it?’’ said Air. Hennessy. “Nawthin’,” said Air. Dooley. “On’y If wo go to war with Spain we don’t wumt to lean too har-rd on th’ editors. We may need other assistance.” Principles of Fiction. Edgar Saltus, In Collier’s Weekly. Air. James Lane Allen tells, in the current Atlantic, what fiction is. It possesses to this gentleman a number of principles and these principles he prints in capitals. That is quite right. Air. Allen is a novelist, and a very good one. Advertisements should be properly displayed. But emphasis is not always conclusive. Then, too, though these principles are eminently praiseworthy, they don't seem to lead te much. A list of the cardinal virtues or even of the cardinal sins would be as instructive. It is certainly the misfortune of the fabulist that he must understand all things, the base as well as th© beautiful; but unless he can depict both, unless he can hover over beauty with a love that lingers and revolt from the base with shuddering scorn, I won't say that his utility may not be apparent, blit l may say that his receipts will be scant. A play—a gcod play—is a slice of life artistically staged. A novel—a good novel—is the theater in pocket form. The principles underlying its manufacture are immaterial. It is the result that tells. The one question regarding a novel concerns its interest. Does it in exchange for your 50 cents provide you with a dollar’s worth of oblivion? Does It make you read it? There all the Kudos lies. For the production of fiction of that variety every novelist worth his syndicate begins by having principles of his own. It is when he thews them to the critics, when he thinks alone of his story, when he becomes hallucinated by it, when he has found out how to make his reader laugh and cry and wait, that he has acquired the one real principle of the trade. Killed His Son by Mistake. CLARKSTON, Ga., Oct. 11.—Mr. John Branyon, who lives near Mechanicsvllle, killed his sixteen-year-old son last night. Air. Branyon and his wife and two sons slept in one room. While a train was passing the oldest son got up and went out unobserved by any one. A little later Mr. Branyon heard someone at the storeroom door. He got up and called, and. not getting an answer, fired. The load entered his son's head and killed him instantly. A. K. Ward Placed on Trial. AIEAIPHIS, Oct. 11.—After a delay of more than eighteen months A. K. Ward, who is under ninety-six indictments, charging forgery and embezzlement, securing thereby $250,000, was placed on trial this morning in the Criminal Court of Shelby county. * m * mmrw* *-;**++mm ***** WMimn I wjtwtcalfW msiKL GO ATIf M BIST CALF§ II enamel M fji vici-worn ! i 0m \ tessrSHOEs,/1 ! 1 Just as good as those costing / J ;\*sX) to #7.o®.
