nernhardt.. Late Husband.

he was known in European theatrical
circles as Daria, and, 1t Is said, claimed
to be n count. As he was born in Greece,
where there are no titles except official
ones, and in the royal family, he had no
birthright to one. He has often peer re-
ferred to as a diplomat. His diplomatic
experience was not very extensive. He
was once connected with the Greek CON
sulate for n few days through an acct
dent. His real vocation was that of q
commercial traveller. The elder Damala
was a a in raw silk, having a house
in Syria, and the son is said to have been
unusually successful in disposing of the
fathers wares. 1t is even said that he
had no right to his high sounding name
that he assumed "Aristides" for his
own satisfaction, and that he was chris
tened rs only jacques"
Damala was fond of gambling, and q
swarm of creditors is believed to have
hurried his marriage and to have fol-
lowed him unrelentingly until ne left for
Barcelona. He was once mixed up in a
gambling case with Lambri Pasha, but
his friends say that he was never a black
leg. AT the time of his marriage with
Bernhardt nobody seemed TO know
whether his first wife was dead or not.
During the time he played with Bern
hardt he did all he could, it is said, to
excite her jealousy. When she was on
tho stage and he was in the wings he
used to fiirt abominably with Mile. Lima
Maute. This was in Italy, where Bern
hardt had frequent fainting fits on the
stage.-Exchange.

The Union Pacific Ry.. also known as
The Overland Route, has lately added to
its service a number of new cars (which
by the way are built by the World famous
Pullman Company entitled Colonist
Sleepers. and which for convenience and
comfort are but little behind the hand
some Pullman Palace Car. The cars are
designed for the use and comfort of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV
ing West to grow up with the country.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first. class Pullman is that
hetColonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen. At night. by means of slid
ing headboards and heavy damask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular first-class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and a good supply Of
water are also to be found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of
the passengers. and no smoking is al
lowed. 1t certainly seems that Tor cheap
and comodious sleeping Accommodations,
while travelling these cars caunot be ex-
celled.

The Elevator In European Hotels

The Gift" is not displayed ostentatious-
ly in the great German houses. 1t Is be-
hind iron doors, to be detected only by
inspection, and Is moved by clanking
chains. The deliberation of the proceed
ing is its mt distinguishing character
istic. You stand in the great hall of the
hotel where a reconnaissance has located
the laboring 'lift" and silently await de-
velopments. Everybody else has the
greatest plenty n time. Presently from
the unknown interior iron doors fly open,
and a soldierly looking servant with
brass buttons on his cap, ~preoccupied
with his responsibilities, steps forth with
an air of majesty. The doors clang as
they swing, and the lift is there, rather
primitive but elaborate in construction.
Perhaps there may be five passengers
ready to get aboard When four have
taken position the master of the elevator
waves the fifth backward with an awful
air Of authority, and IL the rejected one
is an American urgent to go up at once,
he is told peremptorily hat there are
places "only for four" The iron doors
are banged, the engines heave and the
massive machine moves. Safety is con-
sultedl Here is O mastery mechanism
that might swing a pair of elephants of
the size of Jumbo, but an attempt to lift
at once more than four persons would be
regarded as an affront to the empire.
The things impossiblei The French
have h same e~levating methods. There
is usually an iron gate as well as an iron
door to the in France, and in
some of the first class establishments
they will risk taking up as many as five
passengers ut a time. The chains that
are rugged for the security of this multi
Jude of irresponsible things are OF links
OF wrought iron two inches in diameter.

CALVIN s. BEIGE takes a somewhat
different view OF the oil situation in Ohio
and Pennsylvania from that taken by the
state geologist OF Pennsylvania. la an
interview with a New York Star re-
porter he says: so far IRON the supply
of natural gas running short, it is a well
understood fact that it is on the increase.
There is a larger flow OF natural gas to-
day than ever before. Il is true that
there may be local wells that run short,
aud even cease to flow. That must be
expected. The same is true of coal oil.
There are whole sections OF oil fields in
Pennsylvania where formerly the daily
product of the wells was somewhat enorm-
Gus, but which are now run out. Yet,
for every well closed there have been sew
eral new ones opened. and the supply of
coal oil is greater than ever before. Pre-
cisely the same may be said Of natural
gas wells. The supply of gas is PRACTICAL
~ inexhaustible."

4 CHANCE FOR WORK.

The fat to close up Fort Laramie went
forth some time ago but efforts
should yet he made to prevent its consum-
nation. 1t is not yet toe late to under
take the task. We have it from high
military authority that il the work is I'M
dertaken early and pushed persistently
that the order for the abandonment may
vet be rescinded.
Fort Laramie is the most historically
interesting spot in all of Wyoming. 1t is
the one point which carries US back pretty
nearly halt a century in the almost for
gotten history of the territory. The fort
was one Of a chain built by the Hudson
Bay Fur company in ls47. Il was the
first prominent settlement within the
present boundary of Wyoming. 1t has
witnessed many stirring scenes both be
fore and since the war. Clustering about
it are the most romantic incidents of our
early day history.
As a land mark, if for no other reason.
the people should make an effort to pre-
serve the old fort, but its maintenance is
-
even more desirable tor the reason that
its abandonment is the entering wedge
which will lead to the gradual withdrawal
of troops from all the little posts in the
territory. These posts are absolutely es-
sential for the protection of settlers from
possible outbreaks of Indians on the
~neghboring reservations. Besides, their
presence tends to the more rapid settle
meut of sections far removed from rail-
roads. They scatter through the small
communities surrounding them ready
money which would not otherwise pene
trate there, and they encourage a%gricul-
ture by providing a market for supplies.
The effort to maintain Fort Laramie
should be commenced at once in dead
earnest, for its absolute abandonment
means the Inauguration of a system of
spoliation on the part of neighboring
states, which must soon lead to the
breaking up of every post in Wyoming,
with the exception of Fort Russell.

Change is one of the irresistible laws
OF nature. and fortunately the change is
almost invariably for the better. As an
instance of this st. Patrlck's Pills are fast
taking the place of the old harsh and vio-
lent cathartics, because they are milder
and produce a more pleas mt effect, be-
sides they are much moro beneficial in re-
moving mobid matter from the system
and preventing que and other malarious
diseases. As a cathartic and liver pill
they are almost perfect. For sale BY B.

The Glenrock Graphic is not entirely
satisfied with the constitutional couven-
ton and fears that some leading Republi-
cans will oppose its adoption. Before
becoming too prolific OF criticism its editor
should at least read the document which
the convention prepared and thus base his
objections on something more definite
than generalities.

AHint for Campers.Oat.

"If you are going to camp out in the
woods this Summer and want to en-
Joy YOURSELF" said a veteran in the
business, :" be sure OF the makeup of
the party. A camp should never con-
tain any but the most congenial spir-
its. The person may be tip-top fell
low, as things go every day, and yet
be a disturbing element in a camp.
There should never be a kicker in the
party. A man who will shirk any
duty about camp will set the whole
party by the ears in a short time. You
don't want with you the fellow who is
always watching his chance to get the
best place by the fire, the preferable
corner for bunk or the brownest
trout for breakfast, or who is in un
seemly haste to be the first on the
brook or lake with his rod. And never
90 into camp with three in a party.
There will be trouble, sure, il you do.
1t is a singular freak of camp human
nature for men to divide in couples.
Two of your three campers will thus
favor one another, and the third will
naturally become dissatisfied. Two is
company and three is none in camp.
Have your party an even number,
whatever you do"

A DEAD GIVE AWAY.
How One Fortune Teller Gained
Her InsIgh Into the Occult.

"There is fortune teller going
about the city who, although she does
not claim to have been born with a
caul, or to be the seventh daughter OF
a seventh daughter, still makes some
lucky hits. She called at a house on
Montcalm street the other day, and
told several fortunes, among them that
OF pretty widow, visitor in the fam
lily, who had just then arrived. After
the usual announcement OF journey,
letter and a sum OF money, the for
tune teller said;
"You have been married three
times, and you will soon wed a fourth
husband.
All present were surprised, and the
widow was much embarrassed. She
paid the fee and insisted that the for
tune teller should give her some idea
as TO how she knew facts known
only TO herself But the woman in
sisted that it was by her art. Then
the woman doubled the fee and the
fortune teller said;
"You have three wedding rings or
the third finger of your left hand and
one on your thumb. Any one could
see what that meant with hall an eye.

HE WON THAT DINNER.
some Men VIII sign Anything for
friend withous Reading.

" People sign anything at all that is
showed at them," said a well-known
city official yesterday "I'll tell you
something funny that once happened
at the Philadelphia Club to prove
what / say. Samuel Thomas, uncle
Of Mrs. T. Hollingsworth Andrews
and Mrs. George de b. Kelm, who
died couple Of years ago, was chat
ting with some friends in the club
room one evening. After maintaining
hotly for some time the proposition
that people would sign anything, he
finally said to his opponent:
Look here, George, I'll just bet
YOU nice dinner that I'll get six OF
the leading members OF the club to
sign a request for their own execution.
"' Done, was the reply.
Nothing more was said. Mr..
Thomas drew up the paper as indi-
Gated, and signed his own name first.
Then. carelessly folding the top part,
he went to the gentlemen whose sig
natures he desired, and making some
casual and off-hand remark, requested
each one TO sign. Every one did so.
"On the day set for the dinner
which was also the day named
for the execution of the signers. the
six who had signed their names on the
paper were invited to dinner. They
came, and much to their bewilderment
were requested to deliver up theil
bodies for execution, in accordance
with their own signed request. -

About Singing.

A former operatic singer, now a
teacher OF singing, says that it is inn
possible to stand on carpet or rug
and sing ones best. Bare boards
make a good floor to stand on when
YOU sing. Stone is just as good, and
glass is better, but carpets deaden the
voice and make trained singer feel
choked and suffocating. To sing well
one must not have anything above or
in front to catch the voice. Even the
brim of derby hat will impair the
voice OF a man who wears it while he
sings. That is why singers stand far
out by the footlights to sing, and be-
cause the stage OF the New York Acad-
emy OF Music projects far beyond the
proscenium arch yocalists always will
love that old theater.

C0FFIss FOR cool WEATHER.
Woven Rattan Caskets the Under.
takers Latest Fad.

"What do you think of rattan
coflin?" said a very fashionable un-
dertaker yesterday who prides himself
on his blue-blooded patrons. al have
Just received from an Eastern manu-.
featuring company two rattan caskets
which have been sent as a sample.
have not yet had any calls for them,
but they have received the stamp Of
approval of several Of my scientific
friends. The caskets are designed to
meet the desires of persons who OBJ
ject to the now prevailing mode OF
sealing bodies in air-tight caskets. II
is argued that this method Of sealed
caskels, as in the case of cremation,
is not in accordance with the DEGREES
oi the Bible, and prevents the body
from returning to the dust from
whence il came.
With the rattan casket change the
action Of the earth has full sway, Just
the same as in the days OF yore, when
bodies we're placed in the caves, and
il is not long before all traces of the
corpse and the coffin, too have disap-
peared entirely.
Besides these excellent qualities
the rattan casket has this advantage.
1t can be produced very cheaply, but at
the same time the rattan can be worked
up into beautiful designs, and, with
rich trimmings, can be made a recep-
tacle worthy Of holding a millionaire
corpse"
The cofiins are manufactured in
Boston, where there is quite a demand
for them.
There is another thing to be said in
favor of this new style of coffin. In
any possible case OF suspended anima-
ton the victim has better chance Of
life should he or she revive at any
time between the hour when the cof-
fin lid is closed and the dirt has been
filed in the graye.-Philadelphia

DEAR OLD BRUCE.
How n Noble Dog saved - Little
Hoy frons Danger.


The following pretty story OF Admir-
raj Porters dog Bruce is told in st.
Nicholas; The Admiral has a little
grandson, who lived near a deep and
rapid water course, about twenty-five
feet wide. The stream was crossed by
a narrow plank. One day the little
fellow, who was but three years Of
age, attempted the perilous crossing
alone. There was no one near to warn
him of danger or prevent him but the
dog. Realizing the boys peril, Bruce
ran to him, and, catching hold of his
dress, tried to pull him back. The
voungster was determined TO have his
own way, and vigorously resented the
dogs interference by beating poor
Bruce in the face with big stick he
carried, until the dog was forced by
pain to relinquish his hold. The faith
iul animal then jumped into the
stream. below the plank, evidently
with the intention OF saving the child,
should he happen to fall in.
When they were both safely across
and Bruce had shaken the water from
his shaggy coat, he artfully induced
the little fellow to get on his back for a
ride, treat he knew the youngster
much enjoyed and for which he was
always ready.
The moment the dog felt the child's
arms around his neck and the little
feet digging into his sides, he trotted
back across the plank and homewardi
never stopping until his young charge
was safely beyond any temptation o
repeating his dangerous performance

worth noting as arising out OF a great
change in national custom, says the
London Globe. Scene-A railway

man smoking cigar, with which he
makes the atmosphere resemble the
Strand in November fog, and thin,

Twenty or thirty years ago this
would have looked like burlesque.
Then the smoker had only a bare
liberation afforded him. He was not
allowed to indulge his favorite pro-
pensity even On the platform OF a rail-
way station, but was warned off by
placards, which may still be seen at
some stations. The accommodation
provided for him was poor and scanty,
and woe betide him il he ventured tc
take any liberties in prohibited places.
Now he has things all his own way
To his supreme will and pleasure the
misguided persons who do not smoke
must conform, and wherever friend;
meet arrangements are made for hi:
convenience, while even those strong
minded ladies, who assert their rights
to attend public dinners and othel
functions, heroically endure rathe
than protest against the once deteste,
fumes. This is nice for the smoker
who would go to few dinners il de

called the delicious seventh course.
