OSCAR WILDE.
Bill Nye's Idea Of The Assh;ts.

We went down to the overland
tram Thursday evening, to see the
asthcte. We picked him out without,
any trouble. and tackled him for a
quiet little talk all by ourselves.
Nj. Wilde is very tall, with a face
like broad ak. We told him that
our name was Nye, the great Wyoming
asthete He smiled like the rolling mill
and shook hands.
He wore e sof. hat and kind of
steel-cclored velvet sack coat. He also
wore his hands in his pockets clear up
to the elbow joint. He wears a
kind of Byron collar and nccktie
the color of a diseased liver. His
pants were of a gray material and
held in place with pale pink gum
suspenders. These were shown as he
stopped over, his coat being cut
just below the shoulder blades. His
shoulder blades are high and intel
iectual.
He wears his hair long with hay
and little mementoes from the sleep
ing Car in it. His face IS thin, and
when buried in a piece Of pie must be
4 ghastly sight.
MIR. Wilde's teeth are evidently his
own. Nobody could make teeth like
them and e,cape the vigilance com
mittee. They are broad and promi-
nent, with tendency to go out and
look for air. lie does not seem strong
but his breatl, proves this statement
to be erroneous. M. Wilde wore a
silk Handkerchief the color Of the
illustrations found IN the public docu-
nents describing the cattle plague.
He spoke o: various topics with a
seductive dgawl, wisglrng his Timber,
angle-worm legs as he spoke, and pos
ing like giraf. with the collie, for
the benefit Of the ladies WHO stood
near. Hewipes his nose in a languid,
yet soulful way that makes you wish he
would dc SO again.
We asked him when he would return
to England and he tossed his name in
the air and said:
{" All! don't know whether | shall
survive Or not"
"You gotta good deal Of free adver-
Using | see" said the Boomeyang man,
gnawing little fragment from an II
regular piece Of navy and thoughtless-
ly stepping on the patent leather shoe
of the great asthete.
"Oh yes" SAID Oc. as he straight
ened up and extended his neck up
through his collar till you could see
the scolloped edge of his chcmse.
eyes, sir. Mos. too much of II.
Still, it pays moderately well, he, he,
ne, However, it is absolutely stupid
of them to make such bcastly and
peculiar little jokes upon me, ye
know"
We had a good deal more conhden-
tial talk with him before the train
let, which we may give to the public
after awhile, but at present space for
bids.
mir, Wilde's complexion is very
pallid, with here and there little
pimplc that relieves the monotony
some. He wears no beard or nous
.ache at all. but makes up for that
with large growth Of hair on his
head, which falls in graceful festoons
over MS shoulders like a horses tail
over an olive green dashboard. He is
just as full of soul as he can be and
walks, and b-eathes, and exists like a
2-year-old steer in cabbage grove.
He smiles every little while Ike a
colicky baby in its sleep, and sighs
and places himself in statuesque posi-
lions as though something had gwen
away in his apparel and ne was trying
to keep his ETHEREAL pantaloons on till
people looked the other way.-BA|
