pied with the whole horde of them and
almost alone, armed only with the sword
of justice and clad In the armour of
righteousness, won a great triumph for
the people as we'll as for him
self. 1t was such a contest as that
of in the scripture, where
cone can chase a thousand, two can put
ten thousand to fight" The men who
are owned by Gould are essential towards
when compelled to face the fire of public
criticism, just az all scoundrels are, and
II there had been a chance for Wilson,
Allison, Cullom, Morgan, Lapham, and
their kidney, to have lodged, they
would have done so. The great Nebras-
khan kept them under fire all the time,
and they finally surrendered. This con.
test was ar event In the congressional

The Puls-AhI Benefit.

ALL by the Stadt Theater company at
Turner hall last night Is one of the the
atrlcal events of the season at this CT any
other play house in the city. The Stadt
theater was crowded from the moment
the doors opened and as the evening ad-
vanced the rapidly succeeding and con-
stant arrivals packed the house until
Standing room was at a premium.
The curtain rose on the presentation
ceremonies, which the numerous gifts
and testimonials offered the leading lady
necessi'ated. With many a charming
bow and smile of appreciation, Mrs.
Pulls ALL accepted the presents
showered upon her: A hand
some shell case gold watch,
valuable pearl earrings and a profusion
of floral tributes which quite defes emu
meration. The s%ubsequent play offered,
with Mrs. Puls-Ahl in the leading role,
was a masterpiece of German light drama,
and was rapturously greeted by. the
large audience. The title as translated
was the "NLiikmaid," but as the writer
totally fails to appreciate the German
language, for the wholesome reason that
he don't understand word, he attempts
no criticism, but acknowledges his capti-
vation by the sweet voice and super
excellent singing of Mrs. Puls-Ahl.
