of noses are; that ii was not an aristocratic

The artist evidently longed to reconstruct
the nose on scientific principles, and he was

At the Grand tonight BARLEY Campbell's
company will inaugurate weeks engage
ment in the romantic and spectacular play Of
Siberia"
The scenic effects are said to be realistic
and magnificent, while the drama is pre-
sented by an exceptionally fine COM
pany, as indicated by the cast.
The play has enjoyed a successful run in
New York. Chicago and other cities, and the
plot is said to be of thrilling interest, being
based on the persecution of the Jews in Rus
sia, the barbarities of which couple of years
ago, shocked the civilized world. The scenes
are laid in Moscow, the mines of Siberia and
Odessa, all of the scenery having been es
pecially painted for the piece.
Apropos of the production of 'Siberia" at
the Grand tonight the following bit of gossip
is told:
A well known dramatic critic the other day
took the genial BARLEY Campbell aside and
expostulaUed with him for pandering, as he
called it, to the growing taste for stage SEN
sationalism, and By way of example instanced
CampbelPs "Siberia." The author listened
=
Duke Campbell asked him if he agreed with
the poet who said that the object or purpose
of the drama is amongst other things to
catch the manners, living as they rise?
"Oh, yes, Of course" responded the critic,
but-'Well, then," said Bartley. handing
him the mornings paper,::T see you have
h-lf column of cable dispatches to-day; three
fourths of it is devoted to head lines aud
about the murder of an officer by Nhilists,
batting the Jews, and the trial of young
woman for conspiracy against the govern
ment.' If you can find anything improbable
in the drama of Siberia, after that I'll
agree to write homiiies, not plays, in the
luture."

Woodfsi.st HaHbrfuo,

Woodford Mambrino, 1t would seem, was
bred to more mares than students Of the
WoOdburn catalogue inferred. His hrst sea-
son WAS male at Woodburn in 1861, and his
last season there was In 1877. Ia 1874 he
was on tue complaining list, and was not
bred nj all. In nine seasons be was mated
with 26t mares, 1871 Of which we're owned at
Woodburu. The entire produce OF the latter
was cighty-slx foals, not including slips aud
those which died before weaniug time Mr..

our large towns at home and the eastern
markets for the dispo-al of our fast accumu-
lating horsefiesh. All these markets want
larger horses or better ones. and also more
gentle ones" In the ola DAYS, when the
only way Of reaching distant points on the
plains was on horseback, an animal was re-
quired with tough feet and great capacity
for roughing ii. The rider carried his own
scanty ratious in his saddle bags, while the
horse depended upon the herbage OF the
country for subsistence, and he considered
himself fortunate IL a halt for refreshments
was made where the short buffalo grass
grew. Reared without shelter, and never
tasting grain, always being compelled to
skirmish for water and food, the horse of the
plains was able to face hardships under the
saddle with marvellous patience and resolu-
ton. Unshod, ungl oomed, and with no food
save that gathered by the way, he bore his
burden forward in steady canter Although
strong In lungs, back and limbs, the very
manner in which he was bred and raised
made him under size. The stallion roamed
at will with the band, and mated with the
mares which pleased bis fancy, regardless of
the eternal fitness of things, and the progeny
was dwarfed at maturity. II also was, as u
rule, cat-hammed, lacking the muscular de-
velopment which denotes power in harness.
These wiry. but dwarfed types of the equine
race are still used By the herders OF the
plains, but the cowboy market is compara-
lively small. The ranch breeders of Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado look beyond 1t
for profit. the millions engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits require horses of size and sub
stance to draw the plow, the reaper and the
heavy wagoa, and those who can
supply this want the cheapest will get control
of the business. To move the drays, the
stages, and the street cars of cities, calls
annually for thousands of stoutly built horses,
because the wear of stony streets Is great
This market, added to that Of the agricultural
districts, is so immense that tue ranch
breeder of the Rocky Mountain grazing belt
will not be able to swamp Ii for years To come,
if ever. But to meet the market they will
have to breed the Broncho characteristics
pretty we'll out of the horse of the plains.
Some OF them already have done this by the
Use Of thoroughbred and trotting stations
from the east on native mares, and by mat
ing the female deGcendents of the line with
Norman and Cleveland Bay stations. The
shorter way 10 success is by bringing the
mares every day in the proper season to the
stallion stables, and using judgment in mat
ing. Turning the stations iOUse with herd

A SUNDAY SHOOTING.
Barney Smith Nearly succumbs to Bulldog
Revolver in the Hands Ofa
Rad Man

The saloon on Mississippi street, west OF
the bridge, was the scene yesterday after
noon Of what almost resulted iu q serious
shooting affray, the parties to which were
Barney Smith, the well known athlete and
pugllist, and V. A. Gulon, saloon keeper
doing business In the Sixth ward, the latter
being the assailant. The affair happened
about 4 $50 O'Clock, and as nearly as could be
ascertalned the men got into
an alteration over their ,e cups
ia the course of which Guion, who was half
lrenzied from drink, drew bulldog revolver
and, aiming It at Smith, fred. The latter was
ou the defensive, and as Guon took aim he
stepped 10 one side and held out bis right
hand, the ball just grazing his thnmb. OIL
Ger Conroy heard the shot and, arriving at the
scene Of the fracas, placed Guon under ar-
rest and took him to police headquarters ina
hack. H1
When locked up he fell into drunken
stupor and fatty refused TO talk. All the
parties were very retcent about the affair,
which will be investigated by Judge Bnrr
this morning. After soldering up Gulon was
released In the sum Of $50 bail.
