Tribute TO Eme EIIsler.

The following beautiful eulogy on Efie
Ellsler was printed editorially in the Chi
cago Herald last season: With a per-
sonal charm that is sweet and winning
and an art than is varied and reposeful, it
is no wonder that Miss Ellsler, who has
just closed a successful week here, should
take captive the hearts of theatre goers.
By talent and heritage-for she is a
daughter of that celebrated American
actor, John Ellsler-she is entitled to a
front rank among American actresses,
and it is pleasant to record that she is
meeting with such a well deserved recog-
milton. Although young, her experience
dates back to the great Edwin Forrest, to
whom she played leading opposite parts
when she was but thirteen years old.
Barry Sullivan, the famous English ira.
gedian, said of ner: She is the greatest
actress for. her inches in the world" As
the creator of Hazel Kirke she is affection
ately remembered by every theatre-goer
in the land, and her Bessie Barton"
the workman's wife, in Woman against
Woman, is destined to become equally
popular. Her pathos appeals irresitibly
to the hardest breast, and her comedy is
of the kind that makes the heart laugh.
She is Of the pure type of womanly
woman which should furnish entertain
ment for u mothers, our wives, our sis
ters and our s~Waetheorts

DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
The Everett Case May go to the Jury
this Evening.

The Everett murder trial was in pro-
gress again yesterday and was enlivened
by several little episodes that were of in
terest to those who are watching the
course of events in this case.
The forenoon was consumed in discus
sing questions Of law to the court-ques-
tions which related to the admissibllity
of evidence. During the afternoon sew
eral witnesses were examined on the part
of the prosecution. Among them were
Coroner Chafin, Wesley Givens, Mrs.
Givens and Messrs. Weaver, Grout
Hart, Sullivan, Clouser, Lochren and
others. Their testimony was to the eff
feet that the defendant made certain state,
ments as to Rice and his disappearance,
and also that defendant had some money
with him at Fort Laramie about the mid
die of March, 1887. The willow slough
trail was also described. Some of the
witnesses were uncertain as to whether it
led to or from the river. Nearly all of
the testimony taken yesterday was quite
interesting and had more or less bearing
upon material points in the case.
When court adjourned last evening the
prosecution had not concluded its testi-
mony and Mr.. Stoll will this morning call
two or three additional witnesses, after
which the defense will be heard.
1t is quite probable that the case will
reach the point where the arguments will
begin late this afternoon.

THE LEADER is advised that if proper
steps were taken, a mail line be-
tween Hat creek and Sundancc could be
established. The points would then be
but two days apart. Let some move In
this direction be made. The result to be
obtained is most desirable and would be

A VALVE.
Escaping Gas Comes Near Ending
Sheriff Atch1son-A Law
Suit Probable.

Sheriff Atchison contemplates
bringing suit against n of the
Louisiana hotels, for damages.
Willis in that town a few days ago,
Mr.. Atchison went to the hotel,
and engaging a room, retired for
the night. Before going to bed he
turned the gas out, and in a few
moments he was asleep. Some
time later, the clerk in the office
below smelled gas, and going up
stairs found that it was coming
from Mr.. Athisen's room. The
clerk raped on the door, but got
no response. He then climbed
over the transom and found Mr..
Atchison in an unconscious con.
dition. The Sheriff was hastily
borne out fthe room and after a
while was restored. His escape
was a narrow one.
The cause of the accident seems
to have been in the working of the
gas fixture. The valve was in bad
order and instead OF stopping when
shut off, the gas continued to flow,

Fired at q Burglar.

Mrs. William Bones and her
friend, Miss Matte Owen, had a
decidedly unpleasant experience
at the formers home, 2oI North
Water street, last night. Mr..
Bones was away from home and
Miss Owen, a neighbor, was stay
ing with his wife. At about 1890
the ladies were disturbed by hear
ing q noise at one of the windows,
and by the time they were fully
awakened, the window was up and
the form of a man appeared in the
opening. There was nc screaming,
but Mrs. pones reached for her re-
%volver, and pointing at the in

the window dropped and the man

Queer People.

This is the title of the latest, and
and by all odds the most charming
book for little people we have ever
seen. Its fables, or stories, are
delightful, but the illustrations are
simply immense.
The author, Palmer Cox, is a
new star in the juvenile armament,
but he shines with unique brill
fancy. His charming fables rival
those of the world famed Esop,
and he far outshines that celebrat-
ed literary comet by his inimitable
illustrations. He dresses up his
birds, animals, insects, giants,
fairies, COLLINS, ETC., in ~grotesque
style and makes thnm reason, talk,
dance, and cut up all sorts of the
oldest pranks imaginable, afford
ing infinite delight, as well as ex-
cellent instruction to the young.
The issue of his book "Queer Peo-
pie" has brought a perfect ovation
of praise from the brightest men in
the land. rinstance, Gen. Gin
ton B. Fisk says: "It has set my
children wild with delight" and
Col. Russell H. Conwell, the
famous lecturer, says: "Don't
send me another such a book, for
l can't get my children to bed"
The famous statesman, diplomat
and wit, Sunset Cox, says: The
Kweer Kapers are simply incom.
parable" while the distinguished
theologian, DIR. Howard Crosby
says:"they have the fascination that
belongs to Esop and Uncle Remus,'
and the venerable poet, DIR. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, writes: 81 am
sorry l have not a nursery full OF
little folks to enjoy its bright pic
lures and stories"
Tsop's fables are enjoyed by old
and young and are quoted by the
greatest orators and surely these
equally charming stories, so pro,
fusely and exquisitely illustrated
will charm young and old fol
generations to come.
The sale of this book will surely
be enormous. 1t is published by
the well known house of Hubbard
Bros, Phila., Chicago. and Kansas
City, to whom any persons desir'
ing an agency should apply.

In a Smoklng-car.

Men often make pretense of en-

but the thinnest and most trans
parent of all is when they crowd
in to a smoking-car to enjoy CD a

however accustomed he may be to
the fumes of tobacco, deriving
pleasure from pulling at a cigar in

is SO thick that overcoats are SUI

BETTING ON NEW YORK.
Betting Among Drummers at the
W1ndsor-A Guessing"
Pool Started.

A great deal of betting takes
place nightly in the Office of the
Windsor Hotel. Large numbers
of drummers from New York and
Indiana assemble there and as pol
itlcal argument wakes warm, they
willingly back their judgment by
their money. The conditions Of
the wagers are written on slips of
paper and enclosed with the
money put up, the whole being de-
posted in the hotel safe. Several
hundred dollars have been placed
there already and before Tuesday
the amount will be doubled. For
the most part the bets are even, on
New York, Indiana and the general
result. Several good sized bets
were made last night, all on New
York. A pool was made last
night on New York, as follows: A
dollar is enclosed in an envelope,
together with a slip on which is
written the owners name and a
guess on the result in New York.
The person who makes the best
guess gets the pot. A large num-
Der Of entries have already been
made.
The wide range of judgment in
dulged by men is shown by the
difference in the guesses. One
man says Harrison will receive a
plurality of $4,000 in New York,
while another fellow bets with
equal confidence that Cleveland
will carry New York by not less
the $4,000. The other guesses
very from 5000 to 5000 plurality,
with Cleveland in the lead as
regards the number of guessers
wagering their dollar on his success
in the pivotal State.
A prominent business man of
this city has deposited 500 in the
Windsor safe, to be bet even on
Cleveland's election. Although
the drummers who come to Mexico
are largely Republican this offer
has found no takers.
