TREE CALLS JVIR. DALY * PROMISE OF A LIVELY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE TWO MANAGERS. Helen Bertram Supplant* Florence St. John in London—The Sidney Drew* Make a Foreign Hit. * (Copyright, 1597, by the Associated Press.) LOiSPUA', Nov. 27.— The question as to who may be accused of taking the greatest liberties with Shakspeare is a mooted one between Augustin Daly and Beerbohm Tree, and has risen as a result of the unpleasantness between the two distinguished managers over Mr. Tree's invitation to Ada Rehan to appear in his theater. Mr. Tree expressed considerable surprise when informed that Mr. Daly had accused him of unmanagerial conduct because he invited Miss Rehan to assume the part of Katherine in the condensed one-act version of the "Taming of the Shrew,” given by Mr. Tree’s company, and had applied the epithet "emasciilated” to that version. He explained that the invitation for Miss Rehan to participate in the performance had been Intended as a compliment rather than an affront, in which latter sense Mr. Daly appears to have received it. His manager, Henry Dana, on the suggestion of Mrs. Tree, had called on Mr. Daly and extended the invitation for Miss Rehan to play with Mr. Tree’s company. Mr. Daly had replied that the acceptance of the offer would be impossible because the company was to sail for the United States immediately after the close of its provincial engagements. A similar invitation had been given Mme. Sarah Bernhardt to play in her Majesty’s theater this summer, and the French star had accepted it. “The version of the ‘Tam'ng of the Shrew’ which I have adapted,” Mr. Tree explained, “was the one used by Garrick, and not an adaptation of my own. So far as the ’emasculation’ of Shakspeare is concerned, I believe Mr. Daly is something of an adept at revising Shakspeare himself. He interpolates songs into ‘Twelfth Night’ and arranges stage versions which differ considerately from the originals." Mr. Tree is preparing an elaborate production of “Juiius Caesar," which wiil be staged early in January. In this work he has the assistance of Alma Tedema. Lewis Waller will have the part of Brutus, while Mr. Tree plays Marc Antony. In the meantime Mr. Tree wiil revive his old success, "A Man’s Shadow,” which had a run of 2jo nights on its first London appearance some years ago. It is probable mat the Chevalier Scovei, the American tenor, will be heard in the United States next year in the Wagner roles of "Tristan,” the “Meistersinger,” and “Tannhauser,’’which he has studied diligently this year under the celebrated Alelster Alois Janetschek. The chevalier, who is one Os the best known figures among the Americans who have settled in Europe, lias not sung in the United States since 1890, when he was tenor with the Boston Ideals. His last appearance in England was with the Carl Rosa Company, when he created the title role in “Lohengrin,” of w'hich he gave a masterly interpretation. In the intervals of his operatic engagements the chevalier lives with his family in one of the finest of the old-style villas of Florence. Another American artist who is making her London debut this season is Helen Bertram, late of the Bostonians, who replaced Florence St. John in “La Perichole.” She has also been engaged for the chief einging part in Oscar Barrett’s Christmas opera “Cinderella,” which is billed for the Garrick. In this opera Cissy Loftus will figure as Cinderella and Fred Kay and John F. Sheridan as the ugly sisters. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, who have been giving their sketch, “When Two Hearts are Won?” at the Tivoli for several months, have secured so firm a hold on the London public that they will appear Monday night at the Alhambra, the principal music hall In this city. The conclusion of their engagement there will have given them a season of eight months in England. Then they contemplate a Parisian debut in a French version of the same skit, which they are now studying. They w’ere among the artists selected for the Drury Lane benefit last week, which enlisted the best attractions from all the London theaters. The Americans are so well satisfied with their reception in England that they expect to remain here perhaps for some years, and are talking of attempting a revival of “The Rivals.”

A young friend of the conductor made some remarks on the mole that Indicated an observing spirit worth encouraging. He W’as asked to write them out, and this is what he says: “They needn't tell us in books that moles have no eyes. You see one that wants to cross a road where the dirt has been trodden hard—or maybe it Is a gravel road, he does not go zigzag across, not knowing where to go, like a blind one, wasting of his time for nothing, but he cuts straight across the shortest way. If he couldn’t see, how would he know the shortest way? He must either see or smell, that’s sure—but there is nothing to smell across a road. To be sure there are no peep holes on the top of his runs for him to look out to see which way to bore his hoje under ground—but as he does make his runs square across these hard roads, he must sufely see some way, or how could he do it? "Then I was reading in the books about moles: That they are always hungry, and that unless they can eat something they will die in a day. I don’t think the moles eat much In the winter time, but they seem awful hungry sometimes. In the winter we have thaws for a few days at a time, and the -mole he cornea out of the heaps of dirt

where he has been resting and runs along under the grass in our lawn, above the ground that is frozen below. I don’t know what worms he finds that were not killed by the frost, but perhaps the frost doesn’t kill worms. *‘l like to watch the moles throw up the ground. They don’t throw it up regularly, but by little jumps at a time.” NEGRO BURNED 10 DEATH. Chained to Trees, Light wood Piled About Him and the Match Applied. WILMINGTON, N.

That people once lived on the Enchanted Mesa and the probable truth of the Indian legend connected with the famous rock has been proved by the result of the expedition made under the direction of me bureau of ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution. The Indian traditions alleged that at the summit of the great rock, seven hundred feet above the valley below, a great tribe once dwelt. The fact that ascent was almost impossible and that it had not been successfully made until this year served to discredit the tales of the Indians. Whether or not the legends could be believed has always been a subject of discussion among American ethnologists, and this year to solve the problem Major Powell has detailed F. W. Hodge of his bureau to go to New Mexico and make the perilous ascent, after he had examined an inceresting series of ruins in western New Mexico and had witnessed the famous snake dance of the Moqui Indians. The Enchanted Mesa stands on a sandstone rock seven hundred feet above the village of Acoma, and its steep, precipitous sides have successfully defied many exploring parties. Acoma, the nearest town, is fifty-five miles from Albuquerque, in Valencia county, and disputes with Zuni the claim of being the oldest inhabited town in North America. It is an isolated rock mesa, Itself fully five hundred feet auove the surrounding plain, on which live five hundred Indians, whose rich stores of folk-lore have been the delight of ail students of the North American Indians.

These Indians are themselves full of interest. They belong to the Keresan family of the Pueblo Indians, the rule among which family is that each tribe shall be called after the pueblo which they inhabit. Most of the Keresans are a small people, smaller even than, the mesa-dwelling Tusayan Indians. The men are generally spare and dark, the women thick-set and comparatively fair. All have broad, round faces, small eyes, gross prognathous jaws and mouths, and usually fiat noses, fleshy and broad at the nostrils. The Acomas resemble the other tribes, but are rather larger owing to their intermarriage w.th the Zunians. The mixture of the two races was a blending of the oldest representatives of the desert or original Aridian Indian stock. HOMES OF THE KERESANS. In the Zuni creation legends, which have been extensively investigated by Frank Hamilton Cushing, the Keresan Indians are extensively referred tp as the “drinkers of dew,” because their small houses were scattered about on hills remote from permanent water. Their own and other traditions relate how, for centuries, they inhabited cave dwellings in the deep canyons west of the Rio Grande. At the present time all of their villages are either situated on the great level plains of the Rio Grande, where they form irregular squares made up of smooth adobe houses arranged in longer or shorter rows rising in terraces like horse blocks from the inner courts, one, two, and rarely three stories in height, or else they are laid out, as is the village of Acoma, in two cr three uniform and unbroken parallel rows of chambers, terraced from one side only and only attaining a height of three stories. The Acoma Indians claim kinship with those who, according to their legends, dwelt upon the Enchanted Mesa. The story they tell is that one hunared years ago a large and prosperous Indian village was located on the top of the great mass of sandstone which Is a mile and a half from the Acoma village. The Inhabitants were said to depend upon agricultural pursuits for a livelihood, and, as do the Acoma Indians of today, they left their homes to cultivate fertile fields in the valleys below them and several miles distant. The story runs that the top of the Enchanted Mesa was accessible by only one trail, which had been cut in the stem side of a detached pillar of stone which had fallen over against the main rock. It was the destruction of this ladder that led to the abondonment of the village One day as the rainy season came on all of the able-bodied men who lived on the mesa went down, as usual, to labor in the fields and left behind them only the aged and infirm with their caretakers upon the rocky heights. A great rainstorm arose, accompanied by frequent cloudbursts, and as many of the houses on the mesa were w-ashed down by the raging waters, one of the caretakers was sent ciowm to the fields below to summon assistance. He had hardly reached the bottom of the great rock ladder, over which the water rushed in foaming torrents, when it fell. The treacherous sands at the bottom had been washed away and the mighty column which, for centuries, had served as the only path from their lofty dwelling to the scene of their labors lay shattered at the base of the now inaccessible mesa. PROF. LIBBEY’S EXPLORATION. Professor Libbey succeeded in scaling the height. He procured several miles of rope and a 2V2-bore brass cannon. He loaded the cannon with a twen-ty-five-pound shot, to which was attached a line of rope. The first shot failed to reach the top, falling one hundred feet short of the mark. The second shot reached the top of the mesa, but the cord w r as not strong enough. Three days were spent in pulling up large ropes in gradual sizes. It was a tedious task, for every time a splice caught the rope had to be pulled back and the task begun again. Fifteen hundred feet of thick rope were finally fixed, running from the bottom to the top and to the bottom again, and two and a half miles of rope had to be handled during the three days, which task required the exertions of a dozen of men. Finally a traveling block was attached to the pulley, w’hich had been pulled over the overhanging ledge. Then a rock, weighing as much as the professor, was placed in a “boatswain’s chair” and sent as a dummy on the journey. The trial trip proved successful. and the professor himself took his place in the “chair.” He reachtd the top, but no one else was willing to follow him, with the exception of the reporter. Professor Libbey and the reporter thoroughly investigated the top of the mesa, and the professor’s conclusions were that no Inhabitants had ever existed there. He found a monument of rooks, piled up Indian fashion. His investigations, however, did not prove to be thorough. Indeed, his chief object in making the trip was to ascend a rock which no one else had scaled. The news of his trip excited much interest among ethnologists and geographers. Its success led to the determination of Major Powell, director of the bureau of ethnology, that a thorough investigation should be made. With this end in view he detailed Prof. F. W. Hodge of the bureau to make the ascent and carefully make an examination for any traces of life. Professor Hodge accomplished the task with greater ease than had been done by

A RELIC OF THE PA^T. anrftieal Operations for the Care of Piles and Rectal Diseases No Longer Necessary. A Medical Discovery Which Will Change the Treatment of All Such Diseases. It has long been thought not only by some physicians, but by people in general, that the common, painful and exceedingly annoying trouble, piles, was practically incurable by any othei means than a surgical operation, and this belief has been the cause of years of needless suffering, because of the natural dread of surgical operations. There are many salves, ointments and similar remedies on the market which auord some relief in cases of piles, but tne Ps"ramid Pile Cure is the only preparation so tar introduced that can be reiiaoiy depended upon to cure to stay cured, every form of itching, bleeding or protruding piles. . Mrs. M_ C. Hinkley, of 601 Mississippi street, Indianapolis, was told by her physicians that notffing but a surgical operation, costing between seven anu eight hundred dollars, could cure her, as she had suflereu tor fifteen years; yet even in such a case as hers the Pyramid Pile Cure accomplished a complete cure. Sne says; ”1 knew an operation would be death to me, and tried the Pyramid with very little hope, and it is not to be wondered at tnat 1 am so enthusiastic in its praise.” Mr. D. E. Reed, ol fooutn Lyons, Mich., says I would not take SSOO and be placed back where I was before I used tne Pyramid Pile Cure. I suffered for years, and it is now eighteen monins since 1 used it, and not the slightest trace of the trouble has returned. The pyramid Pile Cure is sold by nearly all druggists at 50 cents and $1 per package, and as it contains no opium, cocaine or other poisonous drug can be used with perfect safety,. No one need suffer from piles in any form who will give this excellent remedy atrial. Send for book on cause and cure of piles, sent free by addressing Pyramid Drug Company.

Professor Libbey. He went to the mesa with but four white men and two Indians. They used an extension ladder, comprising six sections of six feet each and a great quantity of rope. They made the ciimb without any serious difficulty and the ladders, section by section, were hauled by ropes, and, after a process more tedious than interesting, they were raised against the cliff. Professor Hodge, an expert mountain climber, went first and lashed the ladder to the top of a huge bowlder twenty feet from the summit. Then the remainder of the party climbed easily to the top by means of the ladders and ropes. A day was spent on the mesa. Valuable photographs were taken and Professor Hodge succeeded In finding a number of fragments of pottery, arrows, shell bracelets and stone axes which, to his mind, prove certainly that Indians have visited the mesa and probably indicate the truth of the Acoma legend. A few feet below the summit were found cooking utensils, which might have been washed down by the rain. The journey to the valley below was accomplished without incident and thus ended one of the most important explorations made in the Southwest. KANSAS BUGS. They Are of Many Varieties and of Great Voracity. Kansas City Journal. ”1 want to tell you, gentlemen," said the Garden City man, as he fished a two-pound onion out of his gripsack, “that irrigation is going to turn western Kansas into a garden. The man who irrigates out there will have a sure thing in the future.” “Well, you may be right.” remarked a sad-eyed man, who hadn’t said a word up to this time, “but my experience doesn’t go to show that irrigation is ail a man needs out West. I went down into Stanton county three years ago and started a little irrigation plant. I had it fixed to water about two acres, and my wife and I used to figure together on the amount of stuff w’e could raise on that two-acre patch. I divided it up and planted an acre in potatoes, half an acre in onions and the rest in peas, beans and other vegetables, and sat down to see ’em grow—and they would have grown. I reckon, if they had had a show; but, sir, before I got the seed in the ground two hundred and fourteen different kinds of bugs moved in and camped around the patch, waiting for things to come up. I’m something of a bugologist myself—used to be able to give the names and family history of two hundred different kinds of bugs—and, do you know, when I came to walk around my patch the next morning after I got things planted, I found every kind of a blamed bug I had ever seen sitting around waiting for tpings to come up, and besides what I knew' there were fourteen or fitteen different kinds of bugs I had never heard of before. There wasn’t another truck patch within twenty miles and those bugs acted as if they had struck a picnic. Well, sir, those infernal bugs would go through the patch and around In the ground to see whether the potatoes and onions and things had sprouted yet. I tried all sorts of things to kill the pesky bugs, but where one bug died three of its friends came to attend the funeral. “I bought $2 worth of paris green and scattered around over tne patch. I didn't notice any falling off of bugs, but a S4O cow pulled up her picket pin and strobed over into the patch and filled up on vegetable tops in the night. The cow was called to her long home. I suppose. At any rate, w’e found her dead the next morning. In the fall I dug four bushels of potatoes and three bushels of onions. Including the loss of the cow, the potatoes cost me $25 a bushel and the onions more yet. isn’t any question that irrigation would be a complete success out in that country if you had a bug-tight fence.” “Speaking about bugs.” said the oldtimer. “they are nothing to what they used to lie. Some people think the bedbug goes with civilization, but I want to tell you that the bedbug was a native of western Kansas and built her home in the cottonwood tree long before even Coronado had started north to find the fabled ritl<s of Quivira. I stepped in the first cottonwood shanty that served as a hotel in Wichita, and there were old. g’-ay-headed bugs there who had just come in from camp on the Arkansas. There weren’t any young, tender hues, that had started w’hen the hotel did. They w’ere all hardened and weatherbeaten. showing'that they had lived there for years. I took a blanket and shook it, end then wertf out on the prairie to sleep. Well. sir. I hadn’t been asleep half an hour till those cussed bugs struck my track and fo’lowed it like trail hounds till thny found where I was. And then they caught the blanket In their teeth and pulled it off me so that they would have a better show to feed.” The real-estate man arose and silently shook the old-timer's hand. He felt that there was a bond of union. He was something of a liar himself. Gaatrmnlnn* Want Annexation. CITY OF MEXICO.
