I don't think that I ever encountered a

don't think that ever encountered a more sardonic complication of the grim humor of fate than in connection with Gerster's reappearance. At concert a few weeks ago, where Di Murska sang in the wreck of her once showy voice, Mime. Gerster sat near me in the audience. She made no effort to conceal her amusement at the wretched show poor old Di Murska made of herself, and before the latter's arlas were concluded she had herself discovered 1 that she was being made the gibe of her young successor. At that time Gerster had broken down, but was sturdily telling everybody that she was getting better and would soon be completely restored to voice again. On Friday Di Murska sat among the audience at Steinway hall. She listen- ed gravely while Gerster sang. When she had concluded she sent her bunch of roses from her corsage, and having done so, she got up and went out smiling, such a smile as it would have done Gerster no pleasure to have seen. If ever a woman had her revenge, the raddled old Hunga- rian bravuriste enjoyed hers out of that handful of yellow roses at a quarter of A dollar apiece. The dtadliest blade ever forged could not have dealt a deeper or more bitter strok4.-AJred Tumble ia Pittsbatrg Bulletin.

The Irishman's Lament.

A love-lorn Irishman of this city
saw her last Sunday with the other
fellow, and relieved his mind by writ
ing the following "poethry."
AS whit to church last Sunday,
My love, she passed me by,
knew her mind was altered
BY the rolling of her eye.
Yes, knew her mind was altered
To an amazing low degree,
By oh tainted hearted sweetheart
Your tricks have wounded me.

overcrowds the stage to such an extent
that very little of anything else can be

THEY ARE AL RIGHT

Sheridan county, Converse county and
the appropriation bill are all right, not
w~ithstandinG the statement in a local pa
per yesterday morl ing that they had been
knocked endwise by a decision of Judge
Saufy rendered at Buffalo.
Anything affecting the validity of the
act under which the two new counties
were organized by the last legislature
must necessarily greatly interest the peo-
pie of the whole territory, for the same
act whi,h made provision for the organi-
cation of the counties also contained the
appropriation bill. Judge Saufy has now
recognized the organization of Sheridan
county, as Judge Maginnis some time
& did that of Converse county. 1t is
now probable that very little trouble will
hereafter be experienced from the OBJ.
structionists. The scheme hts been
worked for all it is worth.

Laramie City has lost its most enthus-
iastic boomer in the person of w. ii.
Kent, who has for several years been
editor Of the Boomerang. He has gone
to Topeka to sccept e responsible position
on the Commonwealth, where he has
heretofore been employed. Kent has an
extraordinary faculty for covering ground
and is one Of the most phenomenally ener-
getic men in the business. He began life
in the railroad business and was a train
dispatcher in Illinois for several years.
His luxuriant imagination is his strongest
point. Ordinary occurrences he invests
with all the charm of a popular novel.
The city authorities have lately been sink
ing a well there. According to Kent
daily accounts this hole in the ground
was the most extraordinary the world has
seen for ages. The drill in its downward
progress struck every conceivable sort of
mineral, common wind, oil, gas and finally
mineral water that will bring a balm to
the afflicted for ages to come. Personally
Kent is a man of the most companionable
qualities, and he leaves hosts of friends in
Wyoming who will wish him well wher-
ever he may go.
