Still another newspaper theatrical squabble.
Upon Saturday morning one of the reporters on
the Herald received note informing him that
one of the Ccryphees at the Grand Opera House
had been severely burned by the spilling over OF
the magnesium and alcohol by which the fam
beau flames in the demon can-cau are produced.
It may be necessary to explain that in this
dance, in which fifty undressed young ladies
ioin, each coryphee nourishes flaming torch,
the fire of which is just as 'marvellously real'
as that in Lost at Sea, and good deal more
dangerous. Upon receiving this information
the reporter presented himself at the box-ofilce
of the theatre, and was there told by clerk
named Morrissey that ooryplee had been
slightly burned, and that one of the principal
artists had been severely so. Determined
to sft the matter to the bottom, the
reporter gained admission to Mr.. Cole, the
treasurer, who was at that time dressed in one
of the three one hundred dollar suits of clothes
he had won from Mr.. Fisk in his recent bet with
that gentleman. MIR. Cole contradicted all the
reports, and pacifed the reporter, who went
away, but who, on coming to think the matter
over, came to the conclusion that all was not
right, and visiting the theatre again, succeeded
in making an engagement to meet Mr. Cole and
have a more explicit understanding with him in
the evening When the hour came, however,
Mr. Cole who was then attired in the second
of the one hundred dollar suits, grew very much
excited collared the reporter, and had him
given into the charge of policeman. The re-
porter made a counter charge, and both parties
were arrested and carted off to the station house
By this time Mr.. Cole had become cooler, and
withdrew the charge, ditto the reporter. The
twain went back to the Grand Opera House.
where they smoked cigars and drank each others
health in champagne; but the fact leaks out
that young woman of the name of Smith was
badly burned during Grand Opera House per-
formance, and that an attempt is made to keep
the matter quiet.

intention to become Presidentess of the United

her own accord announced her intention, and
that she has the means, courage, energy, and
strength necessary to effect her design. We
are glad to know this, but having so much

Getting Things Mixed
Some years ago, as appears from domestic
revelation which took place on Saturday after
noon at one Of the police courts, man name'
Bergman married very pretty little woman
with whom he lived, experiencing the ups AM
downs of domestic infelicity, for about on
year. At the end of that time he deserted her
She went to law about it, and the law bound tn
man to allow her five dollars per week. H

suddenly ceased payments. She then applied
the law again, and had her husban
rearrested, when he asserted that he wa
not her husband, and had never been mai
ried to her. Piqued into finding out a
about him that would be turned to his disaC
vantage the woman discovered the existenC
of another lady who likewise claimed to be hi
wife, and whom it will be well to distinguish
Mrs. Number Two. Mrs. Number One took tn
matter so coolly that she had since got marie
again. Meanwhile Bergman had informed Mr.
Number One that he intended to live with Mr.
Number Two for three years, or until he migl
