The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-09-03

Il have not seen you since ! met you in
Min eapolis. she ID TO him.
The actress was Exceedingly pretty, and
although Mr. Butler was sure she had not
seen MIN i'll Minneapolis, for he had never
been there he did not deny her assertion,
and ct the lady's solicitation called for her
at the stage door that evening. As they
were about to part the actress asked Mr..
Butler if his sister was going to play in
Cleveland soon. He said he had no sister,
and the thoughtless answer deprived him of
any further acquaintance with the lady, as
She then discovered her mistake.
Ex- consul General Kahlo, who ably rep
resented the interests of this country in
Australia for several years, and who is the
political protege of Gen. Harrison, resem-
bles Frank Brooks, the Chicago journalist,
as much as one black pea does another.
They are exactly the same hight, the same
colored hair and eyes, weigh the same and
have the same captivating smile. Actually,
if they got mixed they could not tell each
other apart.
l made Mr.. Kahlo's exceedingly pleasant
acquaintance here few years ago by going
up and shaking hands with him, supposing
he was my old faiend Brooks. Mr.. Kahlo
seemed to be very glad to see me, and we
took dinner together. In the meantime he
had learned my name, and while we were
slipping our coffee he said bluntly:
You never saw me before in your life"
Then he told me who he was, but, until
he proved it, / would not believe him. He
told me that he had reason to know con-
siderable about his double, Frank Brooks.
Years ago, when under Wilbur F. Storey,
the Chicago Times was very sensational
paper, and when a man was required to be
pugilist to serve acceptably upon it's staff,
Frank Brooks was the police reporter of the
paper. Naturally, then, he made enemies
h. md -o1nn e 10 k<,r,
whose rufiianism he fearlessly exposed. 1t
was not strange that upon visit to Chicago
Mr.. Kahlo came near losing his life. He
was walking along State street late one
night when a big fellow, with face like a
bulldog, grabbed hold of him.
You are the - what rit that thing in
the Times about me. It's a - lie, and
am going to smash your nose all over your
face"
Poor Kshlo struggled and protested his
innoceuce but several other toughs who
gathered around said he was guilty. In
vain did Mr.. Kahlo plead that he never
wrote an article for a newspaper in his life.
This only made the man hold him tighter
and grind his teeth the more. He hauled
Kahlo into a dive, and no telling what
would have become of him but for the
timely appearance of policeman. AS it
was, Kahlo's face was bruised
Gen. A. L. Pierson, leading politician
of Pittsburg and ex-district attorney of
that city, used to be taken for Gen. Sheri-
dan. A few months ago two Chicago
gentlemen met Gen. Person at the Hoff-
man house here and insisted that he &C
company them to their room. He knew
them well by reputation and accepted their
invitation. They entertained him like a
prince, and gave him to understand that
they thought nothing i'll this world was too
good for him. Whether they thought this
after they found out it was not Gen. Sheri-
dan they were entertaining is question.
Several years ago there was patent
medicine vendor in Missouri who frequently
passed for Senator Vest. On one occasion
a reporter got hold of him and talked to
him for two hours, and then went off and
wrote a two-column article, putting the
words in Senator Vests mouth
