A Hint to an acrobat.

There is a story told of Andy Nc
Kay about the time the "Seven Ravens"
went to pieces at Baltimore. Andy, as
the manager of the combination, was
appealed to for salaries by the mem
bers of the company, but as he had
nothing but al empty wallet their APP
peals were futile. One of the COM
pany, Wainratta, the wire walker, was
more importune than some of the 9TH
ers, and fatty told Andy that if his
salary were not forthcoming by Satur-
day he would leave. Upon the arrival
of that day Wainratta presented him
self to the imperturable Andy and
said, DWELL, do get it?"
"Get what?" asked Mckay, as though
he had never heard demand for
money in his life.
"My salary"
NO."
"Well, do I get my fare to New
York ?"
"Nixy! If haven't got it I can't give
it to you, can II"
sBut what am to do?" asked the
wire walker, who saw gloomy pros
pect ahead.
Andy thought for minute, and
then, in his blandest manner, said /:
"I'll tell you what you can do. There
are wires reaching all the way from
here to New York, and if you'll wait
until after midnight you can get half
fare. See?"
But Wainratta didn't see, and he left
his manager and the company in dire
disgust Baltimore Every Saturday.

Actresses Who Are Admired by the Fair Sea.

Actresses Who Are admired by the Fair Sea-.
Stage women who are much liked by
men are of course not unusual. The
Pauline Halls, Lillian Russells, Marie
Jansens, etc., have spent lives that
are as an open book before the public.
Stage women are not simply admired
by women, but those whose companion
ship is sought are comparatively rare,
but they are getting more numerous.
Maggie Mitchell might have had
good deal of this attention if she had
cared for it But she always wraps her.
self in solitude, and apparently cares
for nothing but her children and her
horses.
Lolita is perhaps the greatest favorite
of any actress we have with women,
and she reciprocate their affection.
She is very fond of meetings of women's
clubs, women's lunches and afternoon
teas, and all that sort Of thing, and she
is joyfully received in much of the best
society of Chicago, Omaha, and st.
Louis.
Emma Abbott has made herself very
pleasant at prayer-meetings, and finds
it a good business "spec" to appear in
the choir of the church on Sunday and
sing for nothing. This leads her to
being invited to dinner by the senior
deacon, and in that way a good many
tickets are sold for her theatrical per-
formances
Modjeska managed her cards very
we'll when first she came here, and by
dexterous tact gradually enlarged her
circle of acquaintance from two or three
people to many hundreds. AS she got
up higher she dropped the original &C.
quaintances who hated and envied her,
but could do no more. She is still an
alluring woman to women.
This has never been the case curl
ously enough, with Fanny Davenport.
But it was with the late Adelaide Neil
son, to VIII ON women seemed willing to
forgive any amount of private vice.
Ada Rehan goes nowhere, and sees
nobody outside of her own family. It
is principle of Days management
anyway that his actors and actresses
must not make themselves common or
familiar with strangers. He thinks it
destroys the glamour of mystery that
should always hang around the stage.
Little Marie Burroughs, of the Mad
ison Square, would be great favorite
with the women but that her husband,
handsome Louis Massen, thinks that
her time can better be spent in study
ing her parts and studying him.
Annie Russell, of the same theater,
il an enormous favorite with women.
But she is of a very retiring DISPOSE
ton and is only visible to her intimate
friends.
Singular to say, since her marriage,
Vernona Jarbeau has been much feted
by women. In Chicago they quite ran
after her.
All this is bad for the young men
who hitherto have held monopoly of
whatever time actresses did not devote
to their professional duties. The dude
is gradually being relegated entirely to
the chorus singer, and after awhile
even she will have nothing to do with
him, so that all that will be left him
will be the female super or fgnrante.

DULUTH, July 2S.-An atrocious and
cold-blooded murder was committed
near Fond du Lac somewhere near
O'Clock last evening. A party of six
tramps were in box car stealing ride
west from this city, but when the train
reached Fond du Lac the car in which
they had slowed themselves was
switched off and the train pulled out
and left it. Climbing out the tramps
started to walk, when an alteration be-
tween two of them grew out of trivial
matter and one of them
DREW A RAZOR
and slashed the other across the neck,
making a cut clear across the side,
severing the cords and causing death
instantly. Notice was given imme-
diately, and the local authorities held
four tramps, including the one who
committed the act, until Sheriff Truel-
sen and Deputy Kenna reached the
scene. This morning the murderer was
brought to Duluth and lodged in Jail,
and two of the other tramps were ar
rested and will be held as witnesses.
No one as yet has been found to
IDENTIFY THE MURDERED MAN.
The murderer gives his name as
James Reaney, but says he does not
know who his fellow tramp was or any
thing about him, and declines to say
anything about the tragedy. The in
quest will be held Monday.

this morning. 1t was simply an admis-
sion of the testimony given on Friday,
against O'Brlen pere as applicable to
her, and she was bound over to the dis
trict court in the sum of $1,000. Failing
to give bonds, she was committed to the
county Jail. Her father furnished $500
bonds and was released. Two other
persons. supposed to be implicated with
the O'Briens, were arrested here this
morning, One of these is the chief of
the gang, who is wanted in several
counties for various offenses. His name
O'Brien. He is the man addressed as
"Will' in the note written by the
woman O'Brien and confiScated by the
police, and it was he who sent the
telegram from Belle Plaine. His

her part at least. He has suit of

officers. He broke jail in Waseca county

JOHN ID. O'BRIEN.
Why He Refuses to be a DeIegat'

ST. PAUL, July 27.-To the Editor Of the
Globe: notice bin this evenings paper that
my name appears as a delegate to the Demo
cratic state convention, for which position it
seems 1 am indebted to some persons who
have bolted the regular county convention.
These gentlemen I find justify their position
as boilers upon the ground that the regular
primary elections Of the Goth, were car
ried by fraud. In the proceedings Of the
convention by which my name is used, / find
repeated reiteration of charges of fraud
against such prominent citizens of this city
as X. A. Smith, William P. Murray, and 9TH
ers, coupled with the severest denunciations
of and expressions of hostility towards
Albert Scheffer, the choice of the Ramsey
county convention for the Office of governor
of this state. This quite unwarrantable use
of my name has been made not only with
out my consent, but even without
my knowledge am neither politician or
seeker after office. but have, of course, my
opinions upon the current events of the day.
So far from being in sympathy with the
statements made in or out of this boiling
convention against the characters of the
gentlemen mentioned, Il believe them to be
entirely untrue, and as far as my personal
preferences go, am in hearty accord with
the action of the regular county Democratic
convention. The use of my name under
these circumstances by the gentlemen com
posing this so-called convention was, must
say, an objectionable impertinence, if not,
indeed. a piece of dishonesty little beftting
reformers. Respectfully,
