Realism on the stage.

A Buffalo special says: There are
blood-stains on the Grand Opera House
stage to-day. Last night Beulah, the
Mexican actress, cut j. b. Browns hand
so severely that it may have to be ampu-
tated. Beulah is young, impetuous,
and new to the stage. She comes from
Mexico, and her play, echo" is full OF
Mexican intrigue and excitement, and in
her rendition of the heroic part the
actress enters into her role with danger
Gus enthusiasm. She had told Brown to
exercise great care in the assassination
scene, as she feared her emotional part
would carry her away. Last evening
when the murder scene came or, Beulah
crept into the chamber OF her sleeping
rival and her flashing black eyes looked
murderous as she crept to the bedside
and raised the glittering dagger for the
fatal plunge.
Brown, as Centiola, sprang from be-
hind a screen and grasped her hand as
usual. There was quick double flash
OF the dagger, n serpent-like movement
of Beulah's form, aud Brown staggered
back with his bleeding hand hanging at
his side. The audience applauded vo-
ciferously and the curtain was rung down
quickly. The knife was dull and
cut the fleshy part of the hand between
the thumb and forefnger. There was
wild excitement behind the scenes, and
one Of the ladies called Beulah "mur-
derer." She is jealous of the star, it is

Tammany on the Tariff.

Tammany Hall was full of Democrats
last night, marshalled for the purpose Of
organizing the hosts for the active, prac-
tical, political work OF this presidential
year. President of the Board OF Alder
men George II. Forster, chairman of the
Resolutions Committee, read his own re-
port, of which the most interesting por-
ton was as follows:
1--WE believe that free trade is n myth
as long as the Government expenditures

believe that such revenue should be
raised by such a tariff as will protect
American industry and insure the highest
wages and make the necessaries of life as
cheap ms possible for the workingman.-

Some one suggested that after all it
might be another cat. aud test was
made which proved it was the same one.
The original cat had been taught to
open one of the doors by jumping up
and striking the latch with its paws.
Puss was put in the room and the door

To the Editor Of the Dispatch :.
During the early occupation of the
Northwest the Government established
a line of military stations from the great

stations became agencies to treat with
the Indians. Fort Howard, at Green

Wisconsin rivers-of which some re-
mains are yet to be seen near Portage

with, as they never took up arms against

In 1882 there were four officers at the

their time the officers designed and had

q shelf, pocket, or drawer for everything

mahogany and walnut on body of pine
and nicely elaborate with mouldings and

had contributed 10 the design 1t was

Tho Siirls' Strike.

There is a strike at Clark's thread
works at kearney and more striking
commentary on the difference between
British and American labor could hardly
be imagined The firm recently sent for
Scotchman by the name of Walmsleyto
act rs superintendent in the mills.
lie came, he saw, and he could not
adapt himself to the situation. AS
smart factory girl put it, "Americe was
too rich for his blood" II Tevolted at
the spectacle Of hundreds of happy,
well-fed, healthy working girls, it boiled
when he took note of their warm dresses,
their neat shoes, the bits of white
ruching, and, GROWING horror their
jaunty hats.
Where, oh, where was the ideal factory
hand OF Paisley? The lassie who walks
barefooted over the stones to her work,
her he'd covered by an old shawl, and
her neck as gultless of collar rs her
skirts Of furbelows. The girl who
cringes-and it is easier to cringe on 4
hali.tilled stOmach-to the overseer,
and regards the "marster " as being
as far away, and q good deal harder
to get the ear OF, than the Maker of
the Universe. The last straw that broke
the Scotchman's temper all up was "the
frames and frimmicks" Of the Kearney
girls-the "airs" they put on, their
independence in reading newspapers,
and their denominations III the shape
of earrings. Then he made the mis-
take OF announcing that he would take
their pride down peg or two by intro
ducing the Scotch system.
The system was brought to bear on two
of the foremen. They resented the
petty tyrannies of the superintendent,
and, and when they could endure it no
longer, resigned. The girls in the de-
partments which they had headed
promptly took the cue. Two hundred OF
them struck at once, and assert that the
rest of the 3, 200 operatives will follow I'M
less the superintendent is removed and
the foremen are reinstated. Fresh fuel
was added to the feminine fire in the dis
covery that Walmsley had actually com
planned to Mr.. Clark that the girls
dressed too well and were not properly
subseryient. Mr. Clark responded that
he took pride in his operatives being
we'll dressed and well behaved. This
should have been hint enough for the
canny Scot, but his skull being of more
than the proverbial thickness, the girls
will have to hammer it in.
One, bright of face and quick of
tongue, said : oh, he's so used to
bullying factory slaves in England and
Russia, where they go without shoes and
stockings, and make their clothes out of
old flour sacks, that he can't get accus-
toned to our ways. He wants to see us
eating porridge and humble pie all
day." This with toss OF the
head that would make the uppopu-
lar man squirm. To complete his
education Walmsley ought to be sent to
Pawtucket and turned over to the tender
mercies of the three thousand rosy
checked girls in Conant's mills who
ride-yes, actually ride-back and forth
TO their work in wagonettes provided 10y
the firm.
No; we don't want the Scotch system.
