Miss GenevIeve ward Interviewea.

Miss GenevIeve Ward Interviewea
In the New York Clipper of Decem-
Der 8th appears the following telegram
from the San Francisco correspondent
of that paper: ''Suit will be brought
against Miss Genevieye Ward by Mana
ger Al. Hyman, on the ground of breach
Of contract"
A representative of the ADVERTISER
called upon Miss Ward at the Hawaiian
Hotel yesterday TO draw her attention to
the telegram. He was received in a
very pleasant manner by that lady, who
expressed herself surprised at such an
announcement Miss Ward stated that
early in the year she made arrangements
for a six months tour in America, to
commence about the latter end of Octo-
Der in San Francisco, under Haymans
management. She had not signed any
contract whatever. In the month OF
July, while in the Colonies, Miss Wards
health began to fail, and two of the most
eminent doctors advised her to take COM
plete rest. She was suffering from brain
fag, and they told her if she did not take
the necessary rest it would end in COM
plete prostration. Miss Ward immedi-
ately sent a cablegram to America can
ceiling all engagements, which means a
loss OF about $4,000 to her The two
physicians referred to gave Miss Ward q
very strong certificate, which she has in
her possession.
Her stay in Honolulu is one simply for
rest, but at the urgent request of many
of her admirers who have Witnessed her
wonderful performance as ''Stephanie de
MOhrivert" in ''Forget-me-not, - part
Miss Ward created, she has kindly con-
scented to present it at the Hawaiian
Opera House January 18th, with the as
sistance of several amateurs. Although
Miss Ward has played this character over
one thousand times, this will be the sec
Ond occasion on which amateurs have
appeared with her.
Miss Ward has the sole right for the
play Forgef-me-not," but Manager
Hayman has disregarded her right and
brought it out in San Francisco in Octo-
Der, it running one week, with Miss
Jeffrey-Lewis in the title role. This,
Miss Ward says, is an infringement of her
rights, but she is not prepared to state
what steps she will take about the matter
until after her arrival in San Francisco
Manager Wallack once produced the
play in New York, but Miss Ward, who
was in England at the time, crossed the
Atlantic, and stopped it after hard and
costly fight in the law Courts.
Miss Ward produced magnificent
album, quite a work of art, which was
presented to her before she left Mel
bourne by leading citizens, in acknowl-
edgment of her efforts for the cause OF
charity, when at single performance
she raised over $40, 900. 1t contains the
signatures of over 900 residents of Mel
bourne, and is highly priced by Miss
Ward
Though only in Honolulu for about
two weeks, Miss Ward is charmed with
the place and its surroundings, and will
be sorry when the time of her departure
arrives. She is a most charming con-
versationalist and entertaining in the
highest degree. Having travelled around
the globe, Miss Ward has much of inter-
est to speak of, and the ADVERTISER rep
resentative withdrew with reluctance.

Two glandered horses were discovered at

Some of the revenue commission at Spring

ample salary for members of the State Board,
while others want it fixed at $500 or So. 600.
The salary will probably be fixed between these
figures.
Several years ago Frederick Keech, a picture
dealer at Joliet, disappeared, DESERVING his wife
and swindling his creditors out of a large
amount of money. Nothing more was heard of
Keeeh until last Friday, when the sheriff from
Mount Carroll landed at the penitentiary with a
gang of new prisoners, and among them was the
former Joliet picture-dealer, with a sentence of
three years for defrauding his creditors at
Mount Carroll, where he had located after leav-

wrote a play of considerable merit. He
worked on the Chicago Tribune ard Daily
News, and was always considered a

inability to resist the temptation to indulge in
strong drink. About eight months ago he went
to Houston, Tex, to take charge of a paper, but

THE FIRE RECORD.
Burning of q Chicago Business Building,
Involving Loss to the Extent of $500, 900.

Burning of q Chicago Business Building,
Involving Loss to the Extent of $500, 900.
CHICAGO, Dec. Gas the temperature ap-
preached zero, this AFTERNOON, two alarms of fire
sounded in quick succession, summoned half a
dozen engines and shivering firemen to a blazing
building near the corner of Van Buren, and
Franklin streets. The flames had gained such
Roadway that the volumes of water brought to
bear had, apparently, no effect whatever. Other
engines and men came to the aid of those first
on hand, and while the fire continued to burn
freely, half a hundred fremen became coated
with ice from brad to foot, the street
looked like a skating rink. and the adjoining
buildings like architectural icebergs. The
burned block is known as the Seip building,
Nos. 257 to 273 Franklin street. The property
destroyed is roughly estimated at $500, 900. The
occupants of the Quilted stores are: Morrison,
Anderson 81 Buckhart, G. NJ. Henderson, and
Rollins, Shaw & Co.. The frst-named firm car
ried a line of jute, burlaps and paper bags, val
ued at $50, 900. c. M. Henderson's loss is $75, 900
worth of boots and shoes and raw material. Rol-
Inns, Shaw d Co., dealers in worsted goods and
handlers of dry goods on commission, carried
a stock, owned mostly by Eastern houses,
valued at $3.50, 600. A late survey of the premi-
ses shows that nothing worth speaking of will
be saved from either building or contents. The
OullGIngS were owned Dy conrad Selp, and were
valued at $50. 600. The loss is fully covered by
insurance. The firm of Rollins, Shaw & Co. is
the heaviest loser. It's insurance amounts to
$3.50, 600, and is distributed in amounts of s.. 500
between Eastern and Southern companies; $5,-
900 with the Allemania, of Pittsburg, and the
Greenwich, of New York, and 81, 900 on fixtures
in the Girard. of Philadelphia. The buildings
were insured for about $50, 900 in the Connect
cut and Commercial Union companies. Mr. Hen
derson stated tonight that his stock was insured
for $50, 900 but would not name the companies.
Morrison, Anderson & Co. crrried only $45, 900
insurance, which is placed chiefly in the Ducat
& Lyons agency.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. The
danger to Parmalees stables. which adioin the
burning buildings, created considerable excite
ment. Huge waves of flame and smoke would
occasionally shoot over the stable building, and
it was deemed necessary to take the horses out
They were turned into the street, and nearly
created a stampede in their fright. One fireman
was quite seriously injured by falling from a
ladder. Not in several years has a fire oc-
casioned such a complete destruction in so short
a time.

Utilizing Drain Water.

American Agriculturist.
Prairie farms in the West are often, in late :
summer, insufficiently supplied with water,
while the soil in the spring is saturated. Drain
age Is becoming very common, and is indiSpensa-
BILE in most parts of the West, where the land,
in the winter, is so filed with water that the
roads are in many places impossible. The object
of draining is, to get rid of this water, but if this
object can be secured and the water utilized, the
only valid objection urged against thorough
drainage, viz. that the water is carried off from
the soil and wasted, will be avoided. We should
learn from the experience of other countries in
this respect. British India, for instance, has a
rainy season and a dry season, and the large
winter rainfall, is stored in capacious reservoirs.
for use In the severe droughts which follow.
Now the summer droughts in the West are at
times exceedingly trying, and very great incon-
venlence is suffered for want of water for stock,
while at other seasons the drains are carrying
off enormous quantities from the land. Most of
the rainfall comes in the winter, and is sufficient
to cover the entire surface of a farm to the depth
of two feet. This water flows away uselessiy,
and as much of it as possible should be stored.
1t may be stored in ~cisterns dug all along the
lines of the main drains, and the overflow from
these cisterns would pass off through the lower
drains. Watering places may also be made for
the stock near these %cisterns, and pumps could
be used to bring up water when the drains are
not flowing. A windmill would raise the water
into a trough, and the overflow from it could run
back into the ~cistern, so that the trough would
be always full without wasting a drop. The cost
of the work could be easily made up in one year
by the saving of labor in watering twenty head
of stock.

Bad Investments for Creditors.

CINCINNATI, Dec. Cit is stated that since.
the report of assignee John b. Mannix was pub
hshed. in the case of Archbishop Purcells es.
tate, the discovery has been made that the value
OF the property has decreased about 500. 600.
through unfortunate investments in stocks.
Not the slightest blame attaches to Mr.. Mannix,
who acted under Instructions of the Probate
Court. The stock which caused the heaviest
loss was that of the Cincinnati Southern Rail
road Company, a large quantity of which was
wards sold down as low as 30 per cent. There
is considerable feeling manifested among the
creditors here. and some action will probably be
the outcome of the above statement.

A Decision of Extraordinary Interest-Lia-
biIities of Bank Directors.

n DECISION OF extraordinary Interest-LIa-
bilities of Bank Directors.
SPRINGFIELD, Dec. 5-Among the long list of
opinions filed late last night in the Appellate
Court of the Third Illinois district, was one of
extraordinary interest. The facts and doctrines
involved are briefly these: Gardner Case was a
depositor in the Bank of Bunker Hill, Ill, and
John Delano and others were directors. The
bank failed, and Case brought suit against
Delano and others, individually, to recover the
amount Of his deposits, resting his claim upon
the ground that as such officers they were bound
to know the financial condition of the bank, and
the acceptance of his deposits after they
might, by exercising due diligence, have
known the fact of its insolvency con-
stituted a personal and individual responsibility
to him. The trial of the issue was had before
Judge Jesse j. Phillips, in the Circuit Court of
Macoupin county, where judgment was rendered
in favor of Case. The defendants appealed, and
the Appellate Court now afirms the Judgment of
the court below. This decision is said to be an
entirely new departure. and is credited with
being the first instance in which an attempt was
made directly upon the directors of a bank to
make them individually responsible for the
that Immediately after the Judgment was
originally rendered in the Macoupin Circuit
Court. and the fact published in the press of this
city, numer0u~ letters came from banks through
out the country to know whether the doctrine of
the case had not been misstated. The tendency
of the decision will naturally be to make
directors more diligent in familiarizing them
selves with the actual condition of the institu-
tons with which they are connected.

A Belligerent millionaire.

BALTIMORE, Md. Dec. 5.-The bitter enmity
which arose some months ago between Robert
Garrett, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company, and Henry Jones in regard to the
portico which Garrett has put on the front of his
new house, adjoining the Jones domicile on
Mount Vernon place, has assumed a decidedly in
~teresting phase. Mr.. Jones last summer applied
for an injunction against the completion Of the
portico and gained his case. Then Garrett took
it to the Court of Appeals, where it now is. Dur
ing the past twenty four hours the residents
within the precincts of Mount Vernon place, sa-
cred to society and the famous group of Barrie
statues, have been horror stricken over a report
that Mr.. Jones had said that in case the Court of
Appeals decided against him he would give his
house and grounds, next door to Mr.. Garrett, to
a colored orphan asylum. The property is prob
ably worth $3.50, 900, but as Jones is a millionaire
and the partner Of Enoch Prast, who recently
gave the city over a million dollars for a free cir
~culating library, he will probably not suffer from
want through his generosity. OF course, the
wealthy Mount Vernon people are wild with
anxiety knowing that if Mr.. Jones should desire
to wreak such ummary vengeance on Garrett
there would be no law to prevent him..
