This Is one of the things which we had
hoped never TO be compelled to chronicle in
Burlington. The spectacle of several able
bodied men inhumanly and brutishly abusing
a cripple Is one too degrading to occur in any
Iowa town. No matter that the man was an
inposter, as there seems to be plenty of eyi-
denCe he was, no matter what sentiment he
held, he was harming no one, doing violence
of no kind, transgressng no statute or ordin-
ancc, and deserving OF no such treatment as
he received.

Miss Howe on the Stage.
Miss Maudc Howe, the charming
young actress who has been filling such
successful engagement at theopcra house
here this week, appears to fully rs much
advantage off the stage rs upon it, and in
many respects more. In the parlor and
the drawing room she is at home, as
surely as before the footlights, and her
personal beauty is more striking Many
have called upon h cr dally at her rooms
at the Ogden house during her stay, and
she has met and made many friends.
Among those who thus called upon the
little lady was II young woman who
seems to, have been drawn thithcr rs
much by curiosity as any other motive.
She sent her card to Miss Howe, and
waited in the parlor until she appeared
As Miss Howe entered the room and ad-
vanced to greet her, the caller said:
why this is not Miss Howe, is it? YoI
look so different | wouldn't have known
you" Miss Howe became impressed
with the idea that the caller must be some
old acquaintance whom she had not seen
for some time, but while she was racking
her brain with guessing rs to who she
might be, the lady cleared up the mys-
terry by remarking, why you don't look
a bit as you do on the stage. You're
prettier, and you look much younger.

under the chm, rs though she was u mere

pulled her to the sofa and made her sit
down by her. "You know mover saw Il
real actress. that is, close to, and |
never talked to one before IN all my
life. Why, you don't seem 4 bit like
an actress" The caller ratified
on in about this strain gushing
with admiration, while Miss Howe was
so struggling with her almost irresitable
desire 10 laugh, that she could hardly con
troll herself. The caller was evidently sat
iSfied with thus havinga Ittlc visit with a
real actress, and after admiring her, and
questioning her upon all sorts of themes,
she took her departure, promising to call
again and often.
who has developed such dramatic pow
crs she being but twenty years of age
now. She has been before the public,
however, since the age of six years, APP
pcaring first in New Orleans, and for
years she continued in the stock company
of the Academy Of Music, there playing
child parts. At the age of twelve she
commenced thorough dramatic course,
and for the past two years has been Il
leading and favoritc actress, with great
promises of further success. Otl'thc stage
she appears as an intelligent, sprighLly
conversationalist modest in her de-
meanor and graceful in her manners.
On the stage she is better known, but
those who have had the pleasure of
meeting her off from it seem no less
charmed with her.
