AnlIt.
Two new stars dawned upon the
horizon of our dramatic life in the
persons OF Mrs. ]. R. Wilson and Mrs.
B. F. Ayers, in the maids parts; and
they proved the axiom quite, that
"man makes the circumstances not
circumstances the man," to be true of
the fair sex also, for the maids were
certainly very attractive features. AS
for our old favorites Mrs. Colburn and
Mrs. Coffin, it is only sufficient to say
that they appeared in order to be able
to say that they conquered as usual!
Mr.. F. M. Crow looked the ''damn:
ed" william and acted it too in the
most realistic manner.
Mr.. Len Whited, as a detective,
collared the william at the proper
moment, just as we'll as half dozen
Rocky mountain town marshals could
do it, and didn't charge a fat salary
for the work either.
Mr.. G. B. Spahr made his dtdut
before the foot lights In the character
of John Blunt, our talent seems to be
lnexhaustible, we fear he has been
hiding his light under bushe] and
we predict for Mr.. Spahr a brilliant
future.
The evenings performance conclud-
ed with the farce of "Box and Cox"
in which Gore and Dewey, good as
ever, got beautifully mixed as to who
was Cox and who was Box, while Mrs.
Wilson portrayed the character of
that =" intriguing woman," Mrs:
Bouncer in a most delightful manner:
Mrs. Wright entertained the audi
ence during intermlssions with finely
executed selections upon the organ
and to Mrs. Ropell are we indebted
for the floral decorations which adorn-
ed the stage.
Miss Smith, of Crested Butte, atthe
invitation Of the club. kindly favored
the audience with a recitation, which
received unbounded applad and
which; to say the least, was most de-
lightful treat.
The Club gave a performance on
the evening of the Fourth at Crested
Butte, by invitation OF that patriotic
burgh. When our talent becomes
nomadic, we remain silent in order
that our contemporaries OF the press
may be allowed the pleasure Of express
ing their appreciation. We shall ex-
pect the "light Of civilization at
Crested Butte to rise to the full alti:
tude of the occasion.

A Georgia Catfish.
Rome On. Bulletin.

In the early days of Rome, about
forty years ago, poor widow, Mrs.
Parks, occupied a rude habitation about
sixteen feet square, cons tructed of
rough poles, on the site where DIR. Greg
ory's residence now stands. This poor
woman had two children-the elder n
stout, robust girl of about Is years of
age, Martha by name. The other was n
boy of Z. One day Martha, who took
washing to help support the family,
went to the spring near the house, on
the banks of the Etowah River to do
some washing; her brother was with
her. On arriving at the spring which
is only few feet from the river, she
noticed an enormous cat fish, lying i'll
the cool branch of the spring, in water
nearly deep enough to float the fish. A
hatteau was fastened to tree near by;
stepping to the boat she seiz9d paddle
and quick as thought dealt the monster
fish blow on the head which
stunned it, and the little boy, Scruggs
Parks, jumped into the stream and
seized the fish, but in his excitement
and attempts to secure the prize he
thrust both hand into the gills of the
fish. The gills closed on them with a
vice-like grip, and the fish in founder
ing about with the boy at length struck
water deep enough to support him, and
with head TO the river with mighty
effort shot into the stream with the
speed of an arrow, the boy on his back.
A moment of terrible anguish and
suspense to the poor sister, who was
helpless observer of all that was pass
ing, and the catfish landed high and
dry on an island some sixty or seven.
ty feet from the shore, with the boy in
tainting, frightened condition. The
cries of the sister soon brought men on
the scene, who took the boat and in a
few minutes landed fish and boy on the
shore Of the river, the fish weighed six
ty-hve pounds.
The editor of the Bulletin says: "We
vouch for the truthfuness OF the story,
getting the facts as we do from an old
citizen. who was an eyewitness to the
rescue of the boy from the clamp OF
the gills" There are a few other citi-
zens still living in Rome who will re-
member the incident, which created
some excitment at the time of its oc-
currence.

Killed by a Blast.

A premature blast August 18th at
Cornwall, n. Y. on the West Shore
road, killed four men and wounded
several others. The four killed were
southern negroes working on contratct.
1t seems that blast did not explode,
and the men, thinking they had the
hole cleaned out, were about sinking
deeper, when the powder exploded,
driving the drill through the head of
one man, breaking badly another mans
legs, and destroying the sight of another.
The explosion loosened a piece Of rock
weighing about six tons which fell
directly on Ben Hooper in the next cut,
crushing him into jelly. Simpson Succo
is not expected to live, Joe Cascen loses
his eye sight About twenty men in the
cut where Hooper was killed ran
promptly to the aid of the men when
the explosion took place and thus
escaped the tumbling rock.

A Welcome Rel asn

w. A Redfeld, a telegraph operator
at Columbus Barracks, o., has been
under arrest upon charge of desertion
and awaiting trial by court martial.
Secretary Lincoln received many pc
titions for his release, and on August 18
issued an order releasing him from
confinement and discharging him FROM
the army, The above order will no
doubt create great satisfaction among
gentleman of the telegraph fraternity
throughout the country, rs the facts
leading to the arrest of Mr.. Redfeld
were well known and universally con-
DENIED by operatives everywhere. 1t is
stated that an alleged friend of Red6eld,
then an operator but since dismissed,
attempted to blackmail him, and being
unsuccessful represented him to the re-
cruiting officer as deserter. The
officer, however, was not disposed
to pay much attention to the
charge, but the "friend" threatened to
have the sergeant arrested if he did not
take Redfield into custody. AS the ser.
geant thought there might be some
foundation for the charge. Redtield
having entered with entire misapprs-
hension OF the duties he was to under
take, he was compelled to act and the
arrest and suoseq uent charges followed.
Gen. Eckert and other prominent Of
ficials of the Western Union have taken
great interest in the case, and Lieut..
Gov. Richards of Ohio has been very
active in their efforts to procure Red
fields pardon.

Indignant Women.

The lady applicants for positions
in the interior department under the
recently authorized increase in the
clerical force. who failed to receive re-
cognition, held an indignation meet
ing in Washington and organized the
Women's National Labor organization.
Resolutions were adopted reciting that
women have been excluded from APP
pointment under the act by the imper-
alive decision OF Secretaries Teller and
Lincoln. Against this decision the
members Of the organization protest,
and declare they will call upon the
women of America and the labor or
CARNATIONS throughout the land to
unite with them in their honest efforts
in behalf of women who work for a
living, they resolved to call upon SOL
diers to defend the rights of soldiers;
widows and orphans who have been
shut out by the one-man power. The
resolutions conclude as follows:
In the name of liberty and loyalty,
of sorrow and sacrifice, they have
waited, and prayed and hoped, almost
penniless for months. to be told at last
no women will be appointed. We have
realized that defeat IN war in the midst
of Hunger spurs the warrior on to
grander deeds and victorious fields. So
our defeat shall be but the beginning
of warfare that shall never cease un-
til we see the words posted over the
gates to this capitol and doors of these
departments, "No one-man power rules
here, and equal rights under the Amer
lean fi,g to the women of this nation.
ResolUed, That these resolutions be
printed and copy sent to the labor
organizations, the Grand Army posts
and political headquarters of the diff
ferent States.

Col. Ingersoll at Long Beach.
81. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Owing to the delayed trials of the star
route cases, Col. Ingersoll has not been
vet able to take his real summer vaca-
ton, and has only made Sunday and
Fourth of July visits to his Long Beach
cottage. With the adjournment of the
court each Friday afternoon the great
atheist hastens to rejoin his family,
and for two days swims the deep and
rocks in the breezy shade of his seaside
home. On these rare days, mirth, hos
pitality, laughter, wit, and good cheer
echo from the merry groups that gather
around, and royal time Is enjoyed by
all that favored circle. With all his in
Vulnerable other accomplishments
Col. Ingersoll is powerful and expert
swimmer, and ventures fearlesly out
upon the waters. A procession of drip
ping objects can be seen any morning
making its way back to the cottage
after their early dip, and hardly noon
tide goes by without some of the group
making another plunge for the surf.
The pretty house within is embellished
with countless brilliant fans and decora-
tions on the walls, and the regulation
furnishings of hotel cottage are sup
b1 biiN hiGAA AbSct Gb9h-
ions, and draperies brought from their
Washington home. As IN their winter
residence, books are everywhere, in
stacks, racks, cases, and piled on the
tables, and furnishing the most notable
and characteristic feature of the estab-
lishment. Some delicate water-color
sketches and daintily painted china
| further ornament the lower rooms, and
are the handiwork of his daughters.
Around their cheerful board a large
circle is always assembled, and the
lau yhter and good humor is kept up
with spirit. Certain newspaper stories
about Col. Ingersoll have lately added
to their fund of sport; one such vera
cious tale puts the great atheist down
as playwrlter, and announces that his
| drama of the "Wild West" will be
brought out in Philadelphia early in
| September. All such dramatic honors
the Colonel hlushirgly disowns, along
with the dog, whose remarkable intelli-
gence and great career has lately been
filling column of print He never
wrote play and he never owned the
dog whose performances put the pup
of Or. Faustus entirely in the shade.
Beside Mrs. Ingersoll, her two daugh-
tiers, and her mother, the family con-
sists of Mr. Farrell. who is the brother
in-law and publisher of the host, with
his wi e and little girl. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert, of Chicago, who are cousins of
Col. Ingersoll, and Miss Ida Farrell, of
Peoria, are at present visiting at the
cottage, and with this bright group at
their own piazza, they are seldom seen
at the hotel, except during the concert
hours. Both of the Misses Ingersoll are
accomplished musicians, and their
fathers sympathetic appreciation of
this 9rt is only another strong side of
his rich and complex nature.

DiIatOrY Lovers.

The Impotence of the parents of the
young lady over the long and frultless
visits of the chronic caller was pictured
in comic colors some years ago by a
funny writer. 1t seems that is was mid
night. The young man had farewelled
himself out and Emeline had locked
the door and was untying her shoe
when her mother came downstairs
with q bedquilt around her and said:
Wanted to creep upstairs without
my hearing you, eh? Didn't think 1t
was an hour after midnight, did
your"
The girl made no reply, and the
mother continued:
"Did he propose this timer"
"Why, mother'' exclaimed the
daughter.
"You can why mother all you want
to, but don't know that he has been
coming here for the last year? Don't
| know that you've burned up at least
four tons of coal counting around
here?"
The girl got her shoes of, and the
mother stood in the stair door and
asked:
"Emeline, have you got any grit?"
81 gness So"
81 guess you haven't. Lust wish that
fellow with false teeth and a mole on

liner
"No."
well, I'll tell you. He'd come to
time in sixty days or he'd get out of
this mansion like goat jumping for
sunfower seeds"
And Emeline went to bed hugging
this though to her bosom.
Occasionally such visits become SO
burdensome that the young lady talks
to the young man herself. At least they
had such a girl out in Colorado. She
had been receiving the attentions Of a
young man for about year, but be-
coming i'm patient at his failure to bring
matters to crisis, she resolved to as
certain his intentions. When he next
called she took him gently by the ear,
led him to a seat and said:
'Nobby, you've been foolin' round

A Beautiful Indian Legend.

The legend of the Cherokee rose is
as pretty as the flower itself. An Indian
chief of the Seminole tribe was taken
prisoner by his enemies, the Cherokees,
and doomed to torture, but became so
seriously i'll that it became necessary to
wait for the re,tcration to health
before committing him to the fire.
And as he lay Frustrated by disease in
the cabin of the Cherokee warrior, the
daughter of the latter, young dark
faced maid, was his nurse. She fell in
love with the young chieftain, and
wishing to save his life urged him to
escape; but he would not do so unless
she would flee with him. Yet before
she had gone far, impelled by soft re-
greet at leaving home, she asked per-
mission of her lover to return for
the purpose of bearing away some
memento of it. So retracing her foot
steps, she broke sprig from the white
rose which climbed up the poles of her
fathers tent, and preserving it during
her flight through the wilderness, plant
ed it by the door of her new home in
the land of the Seminole. And from
that day this beautiful flower has always
been known between the cape Of Florida
and throughout the Southern States
by the name of Cherokee rose.
