ssWhatl want Johnny9 What's ne

!. Now, lieutenant, you don't want

Parker made no answer, but he kept
his eve warily on the crowd.
Devine threw down his cards, as If In
despair. ssAll right; I've got to GO
This thing has been hanging over me

s.But don't be in rush, cried the
others: ssdon.t be in rush, lieutenant.

We amt seen you in years.
Parker was so dumbf0unded by this
continued politeness that ne looked
about for the cause. It was evident. A
big sergeant stood behind him with two
cooked revolvers aimed at the crowd, on
each side of the door were soldiers with
pointed carbines:

Devine arose to follow. He looked
mournfully at his big pile of chips.

'sBanker, cash Johnny's chips Sorry
I can't let him stay so that you can have
back at him, but the moneys his. F"
The disappointed banker made the
exchange.
While the party were taking Devine to
his house, where the convict wished to
say goOd-by to his wife, horseman
passed them at full speed, going toward
Florence, little town five miles to the
east. The incident did not escape the
unsophisticated lieutenant.
He sent an orderly for the ambulance,
and hurried Devine through his farewells
When the wagon drove up he was ready.
Everybody was mounted The convict
had the appearance of being perfectly
hopeless:
Parker looked Deyine keenly in the face
and answered, "back through Sacatou. /"
The convict dropped his head, and his
hopelessness was no longer assumed.
"Our friend on the horse will prepare
his ambush for nothing, won't heG"
asked Parker.
He just will. I" replied the convict,
with laugh.
That night at 10, having driven eigh-
ty-three miles since 8 in the morning,
the detail arrived at the fort and Devine
was secured in post guard-house.
The colonel was delighted and sur
prised.

ssThank you, - said the bold lieuten-

to full revelation.

A case recently tried before the crimi-
nal tribunal of Odessa has brought to
light some further proofs of the diaboli-
cal tenets held by secretly organized
and fanatical Russian sect, against which
several prosecutions have from time to
time been instituted This sect, which
is under an oath of secrecy, appears to
consist entirely of women. THESE female
fanatics, or rather female Thugs, have
become infamous under the denomination
of "Angel-makers." They secretly de-
stroy the children committed to their
charge. As nurses, generally. and, more
frequently: as care-takers of children,
they destroy their charges in any manner
which promises the safest means against
detection. They profess that their mis-
sion is to murder for the assured salvation
of the souls of their innocent victims.
and at the same time to earn for them
selves eternal glory.
The prisoner tried was charged under
the name of Rachel Ostrovskaia, but was
known to the police by several aliases.
She is married woman, twenty-eight
years Of age; one of her known victims
being her only child Three cases of
child-murder, one by strangulation. were
proved against the prisoner, who was
condemned to fifteen years hard labor.

By County Clerk Dalton. and

Senatorial candidates, and took the

Thus, In some precincts, the vote on
Senators, as returned by Dalton, would
exceed by a score or more the.vOtes Of
the total number Of voters registered.
The court has not yet decided how TO
count such precincts, whether 10 throw
outthe entire precinct or only the ex-
cessive vote, or 10 divide the loss on the
excessive vote pro rata between each
candidate, assuming the excessive vote
only be taken from the Democratic
candidates. The results of to-day's ex-
aminatiOns Will be about as follows: In
ten precincts the Republicans gam
153 votes. In Precinct A, Fourth
Ward, the Democrats lose 3I2 votes.
and if the whole precinct IS thrown out,
926 votes. The total Republican vote
in this precinct was 4S. These changes

Barrett and tic lanes :;

The fact about the departure OF Mr.
and Mrs. Louis James from Barrett's
company came to Us from one who IS
certainly in a position 20 ascertain the
truth. It IS well known that Barrett is
a very hard man to get along with, on
account of his vagarIeS of disposition,
but James managed to bear with him
until last spring, when they had
serious quarrel and did not speak for
several weeks. Since then there has
never been the same feeling between
them. Notwithstanding TINS, James
and his wife signed with Barrett Tor the
present season. intending that It should
be the last. Whether the knowledge of
this provoked Barrett, or whether his
disposition sOurs as 1t meilows, 1t IS
hard to say; but those who are best in
formed say that he has been harder than
ever to get along with.
Two weeks before James left the COM
panY Barrett got within that he would
not touch Miss Wainwright, no matter
what the business of the parts called
for. Much TO Mrs. James astOnish-
ment, whenever the business called for
her to approach him he would move
away. Mr.. Barrett's conduct was so
marked that the audience noticed it,
and the professional slight was so great
that she mentioned it TO her husband.
Mr.. James was, naturally, much an
moved, and spoke to Mr.. Barrett about
it behind the scenes. Mr.. Barrett to-
tally ignored Mr.. James, and, alter the
latter had spoken four times without
receiving any reply, he gave Mr. BaI-
rett notice, then and there.
At this point Barrett found his
tongue. and inquired II the notice in
eIudei Mrs. James. Mr.. James an
svered that his wife could do as she
PLEASED. whereupon Barrett said he
would ike to have her stay. A new
contract was drawn up between Miss

former insisting that one OF the clauses
shouId be that she should be treated
with proper stage courtesy. -Four days

DRAMATIC AND LYRIC.
Janauschek and her Company
In Macbeth.
THE BARRETT AND JAMES ROW
The Recent Engagement-The AIikado
Again-The Rag Baby-Why
James Left Barrett.

Janauschek's appearance in Macbeth
drew out good audience last evening
the largest which has assembled during
her engagement. The performance was
a most interesting one, for while there
is much that jars upon the senses in
broken English delivery of the great
master of English Janauscheks gen
ius is SO great that her acting would
charm away our prejudices even if she
spoke our language much less perfectly
than she does. The sleep walking scene
was done with an effect which caused
the audience to sit breathless during
It's duration, and to break into q
rapturous barst OF applause at its
c ose. In the other great scenes of the
play she made several innovations
which all marked the force and origi-
nalIty of her conception of the part.
Chaplin appeared to better advantage
than in anything he has yet attempted
but as was to be expected, he was over

ian lesser parts; the spirits of the
cauldron were very frank and m atter-of-
fact phantoms, with not the slightest
touch of solemnity about them, and
one of the ghosts seemed afflicted with
bad attack of the catarrh.
We regret that Janauschek's engage
ment should not have resulted more
proftably to her; but having the three
drawbacks to contend with Of following
the Mikado, encountering bad weather,
and having made the. mistake of book
ing for FIVE performances in a town
that ought not to be classed as more
than a two or three nights stand-it
could hardly be otherwise than it has
been.
