YELLOW FEVER.
Over 1000 Victims a Month at Rio,
Brazil.

In Rio, Brazil. at present there is but one
topic-the epidemic which is making such
great ravases among all classes. The official
returns Of the deaths from yellow fever since
the commencement of the year sum up 1909
victims from that form of fever alone, and
the mortality from other types is unusually
great. Tho inhabitants Of Rio are in fact
dying at the rate of two thousand a
month in city Of three hundred
thousand, largely depleted by the flgnt OF
every one able to take refuge in the highland
sanitaria Children from ten years down are
the special prey, even infants few days old DID
succumbing to yellow fever, and no medical
skill ayails to save the families of the most
eminent physicians from defamation.
No doubt the great severity of the epi-
demic arises from the complete failure of the
rainy season to make its appearance, result
ing in great scarcity of water and in the
drying up of the swamps inside and OUTSIDE
the city SO efPectually that not a croak Of q
frog is to be heard where in other years the
cars were deafeued with their noise.

Death In a Lions Den.

The shocking death Of a female
tanner of wild beasts is reported from
HohenmuAh, in Bohemia. She was a
girl 20 years old, named Bertha Baum
gartner. During a public performance
in a strolling menagerie she entered
an empty cage, and the door Of an ad-
joining cage was then opened 10 let a
lion and a Bengal tiger enter. The
lion walked in quietly, but the tiger, a
ferocious beast, which had three times
wounded its keeper, crouched in the
doorway and showed temper The
girl lost nerve, cried for help and
slipped. AS she did so the tiger made
a spring. bit her on the shoulder, then
in the throat, literally rent her to
pieces and tossed her body>bout. Half
the audience ran 10 the doors in hor.
ror, while the attendants tried to beat
off the tiger by poking hot irons into
the cage. But The girl was dead long
before the animal was driven away.
The lion seemed 10 have been as much
frightened as the human spectators, as
he took no part in the carnage. The
proprietor Of the show has since adj
mitted that this same tiger had already
killed two people. Chicago Journal

WOOlNG OF AN AUTHOR.
Robert Louis stevenson's Romantic Mar
riage to q Divorced Woman

Hk0btFt LOUIS rttttu>ou tphfahiAt ti1f-
riage to q Divorced Woman.
Robert Louis Stevenson first came
here eight years ago 10 get married.
When he was taking that trip that bore
fruit in his book, An Inland Voy-
age" lac met in Paris Mrs. Samuel
Osborne, of San Francisco. She had
married young Samuel Osborne, who
was private secretary 10 Senator Stan
ford. She was a brilliant brunette.
Her husband had gone with her on a
vacation, but he had been recalled.
She and Stevenson fell in love
at first sight. Their literary and
personal tastes ran in the same chan
nels, and the author spent much time
in her company. When she left for
home II was understood that she was
TO get a divorce from her husband by
means Of the easy processes of the
California courts. and when this was
accomplished Stevenson would come
out to the Golden State and make her
his wife. When Osborne was told Of
the desire Of his wife he made no OBJ
j~ection, and even gave his wife all the
aid in his power. The result was that
she obtained her freedom.
Then the tidings were sent to the
distant lover, and he prepared TO come
out in the west for his inamorata.
Stevenson engaged passage in the
sieerage Of one Of the great ocean
lines, with the design Of writing up
his experience. He had a sorry time
among the emigrants. This experience,
however, didn't cure him, as he took
passage in an emigrant car and crossed
the plains in that fashion. This was
ors than the Storage trip, and the
journey consumed two weeks.
When Stevenson reached San Fran
cisco he was a sorry object. Foul air
and poor food had reduced his strength
and he was a semi-invalid. He was
received, however, with open arms.
As soon as lie was cleaned up by a
series of sulphur baths the wedding
was held.
Osborne gave away the bride, his
ex-wife, with the heartiness of manner
that might have been expected in the
most disinterested person, while he
capped the climax by introducing TO
the bride and groom a handsome and
stylishly dressed young as his
afianced wife. The marriage feast
was very gay. a.
Soon after Stevenson went with his
bride 10 a deserted camp on Howell
mountain 10 recuperate his health.
There he wrote the book which he
called THE Silverada Squatters."
II is a curious fact that Osborne, to
whose good nature Stevenson was in
debted for his wife, disappeared shortly
after his second marriage, and no one
has ever heard Of him since. The
dashing young woman whom he
welded remained here several months
after Samuel deserted her, when she,
too, packed up her belongings and
departed as mysteriously as her spouse.
Neither Of them has ever been seen
or heard Of by their old friends. San
Francisco Dispatch.

Boston After Omaha Players.

its crack captain as well, arc in danger of
beng gobbled up by the blooded Bostonians.
The directors of the club in this city ac-
knowledge that Director William Conaut has
gone to Chicago mainly for the purpose of
meeting Manager Selee aud coming to some
understanding abont next season. For a
long time the owners of the Bostons have
been satisfied that what the various clubs
needed was little new and younger blood,
going on the principle that no man exists
but who has an equal, and that the present
veterans now in their prime can't exceed their
present capabilities. The club is wealthy and
money iudiciously expended is no considera
tion. Next year there must be a reserve of
younger blood, and in looking for suitable
candidates their choice fell upon Omaha.
The directors don't think Manager Hart has
the backbone to always get the best work
out of his men, and so have made an offer to
Manager Sclee, which the latter has now
under advsencnt. Manager Selee does not
relish the idea of DESERVING his boys, so
Director Conant has been ordered TO Offer
handsome sum for the whole nine bag and
baggage. This has been done, and MIR.
Conant wires back that 1t is now being
favorably considered. What sum has been
offered is not given, but 1t is sufficient to
purchase the release of several Kellys. The
obtaining of the Omahas will make the
directors independent of the brotherhood,
whose threats just at present are 80 alarm
