DISGUISED As A MAN.
A Woman's Attempt to Kill a Chicago
Real Estate Agent.


CHICAGO, Ill.,, May 2l.-What came
near being first-class tragedy was en-
acted this morning near the corner Of
Fulton and Ann Streets. About $40
o'clock, as P. J. Bolander, a real estate
agent, was passing in front of saloon
in the locality mentioned, a slight look
ing man, dressed in a suit of plain
black clothes, and wearing a heavy
black mustache, was leaning over a
fence, apparently lost in thought. AS
Mr.. Bolander passed by, the strange
man wheeled round and leveling a re-
volver fired point blank at him, at the
same time eXclaiming C. - you, I
have you now" Mr. Bolander stag
gered back, the bullet grazing him. He
sprang upon his assailant and grappled
with him. The would-be murderer made
frantic efforts to escape or draw another
bead on Bolander, but the latter
was too strong for him. Bolander sue
ceeded in holding his man until two
officers arrived upon the scene and
brought both parties to the Desplaines
Street station. On arriving at the station
it was found that the assailant was a
woman in disguise. Mr.. Bolander iden-
tilted her as being Lille Richmond,
with whom he claims to have lived for
some time. Both parties claim to be
married

How Yoiapuk Sounds.

Much as I have heard and read about
Volapuk, the new language which NJ.
Schleyer hopes to make universal, never
heard it talked until last week, when,
among the guests at the hospitable tablo
of q well known medical man Of literary
tastes, there were two guests who had
actually sat at the feet of the inventor Of
Volapuk, SO to speak, and started that
tongue under his personal direction. To
oblige the rest Of US, these two visitors
one was Russian and the other q cosmo-
politan-engaged in conversation in Vol
apuk for our edification. would rather
not write down in black and white my
impression of what / heard. One Of the
guests suggested that Volapuk sounded
like double Dutch spoken by a Choctaw
Indian suffering from q chronic Group,
while another suggested it was more like
a Welshman trying TO cough in modern
Greek; but it must not be supposed that I
indorse their evidently exaggerated state
ments. Seriously, however, / do not
think that Volapuk sounded like the uni
versal language of the future, though
must say that many of its words seem
taken from roots common to our own and
the German language.-London Figaro.

Example OF Chinese Cruelty.

A sample Of Chinese justice is afforded
by the case of half witted youth who, in
an attack of epilepsy, fatally injured his
father. The Chinese law DEGREES that a
son who murders his father, whether he be
sane or insane, shall suffer the lingering
death-that is. his body is sliced with
knives and the torture prolonged for
hours A parallel atrocity was furnished
by the sentence to the same torture Of q

lar house has been exceeding prosper
Gus, when the OPPOSITION has been con-
sidered. The first of the season the
Hennepin Avenue theater was open
and the middle of the year the Peoples

amusement running the galleries and
balconies would necessarily feel some
depletion; but Notwithstanding this
rivalry, the Grand opera has made a
fair profit. Next season Booth and Bar

hardt, Rose Coghlan, all the other great
stars; Fanny Davenport in ''La Tosca;"
the greatest opera companies, the new

be presented. Manager Conklin promises
a fipe treat; The only event of the sea,

be the great Hamlet" revival June IA,
with that eminent tragedian, George NJ.
Ciprico, in the title role. Mr.. Ciprico
has been in retirement for several years,
being in ill-health on account of an ac-
cident. AT the time of his abandon
ment of his profession London was at
his feet, be achieving great sue
cess in the classic drama in
the leading theater here. The produc-
ton here will be truly festival, over
100 people appearing on the stage, lead
ing society ladies appearing in the
chant DE PrOfundis" at the grave of
Ophelia, and the kings guard have been
selected from the flower of the athletes
of the city. Already parties are
booked for the event. and the demand
for seats is as great as the capacity of
the theater. The regular seat sale will

The production of "Hamlet" under
the direction of George NJ. Ciprico, the
tragedian, at the Grand opera house
June IA, has created no little interest
among those who look to the stage for
instruction as we'll as entertainment
Mr.. Ciprico has made Hamlet" which
he regards as Shakespeare masterpiece,
almost a life study, and is taking
especial pains to have the stage setting
and costuming historically correct, while
the company he has carefully selected
has been so carefully drilled that the
presentation will not rank with amateur
efforts. The box Office opens Monday,
the 18th, and all will be given an equal
chance to obtain seats, although appli-
cations have already been made for a
large portion of the house.
