Oscar wiide's Estheticism.

Col. Vail, manager of Ragan's illustrated
lectures, is the man who piloted Oscar Wilde
through this country. The wonder is that he
still lives. Oscar Wilde was no fool, by
any means said the colonel HE worked
the United States for all there was in it
He cleaned up SAC, 600 net, not counting the
5000 he lost against Hungry Joe's bunco
game in New York Oscar was a genteel
fakir The Oscar Wilde craze was his own
invention. He worked the aesthetic craze
for every dollar in sight Whenever any
body used to call on him at his hotel he al
wavs struck an attitude, arranged the lilies
and sunflowers, and did everything possible
for effect before the visitor entered; but the
| moment the visitor left he became another
man, and was one of the boys
His asthetism was all assumed. When
he returned to England he cut Oh his long
hair, got down to business and gave the
| Yankees the grand laugh. The most amuse
ment | ever had on the Oscar Wilde toul
was in Denver, when Eugene Field got wig
and personated Wilde to perfection. Field
in his make up took in the town and fooled
everybody. His imitation of Wilde was very
deceptive, and was great hit Nobody en-
| loved it more than Wilde himself, who wa
in the party Wilde had his long hail
tucked up under cowboy hat, and nobod,
recognized him, while everybody took Fiele

doesn't want to take the Davenport lines
