sions for the delegates and make tour
oil the South, stopping at towns along the
route, and have prominent Republican
speakers address the people. Governor
Foraker and Major Mckinley, General
Woedford and others have already con-
sented to speak should this plan DO car
ried out The object would be to en-
courage Southern Republicans.
Messrs. Huston of Indiana, Byrnes OF

George F. Vernon left to-day for q
three days fishing tour on the 0ctoraro
river, near Oxford, Pa. He took along
with him his daughter Bessie and his son
Millard, and you can bet George will
enjoy himself immensely. He bought a
new three jolnted pole and real reel at
Melchoir's, besides several new devices
to hook fish whether they want to get
caught or not. He has been sitting up
late for the latt few nights studying a
little pocket manual, 'How to Make Fish
Bite" We hope for the welfare and
future name of the piscatorial devotees of
Wilmington that he will hold his end up,
oven If he has to purchase few dozen
from tho fishermen located on this beau
tiiul stream.

Charlie,s Gup.

An actor was telling the story of
the first appearance on the stage of
Charles Dickson, the well known
comedian. Dickson, it seems, had
been engaged at Niblo's as q supernu-
merary in a war drama. His father,
who is o Hebrew, attended the open
ing performance, accompanied by a
party of friends, who were prepared to
see in ''my poy Sharlie" another For
rest.
The curtain fell on the first act and
the fond father explained the fact that
"dopoy" had failed to doanything more
than stand still and hold a musket
wrong side foremost by saying in a
stage whisper that no really great act
ors ever did any thing to speak of at
the beginning of play. ''Yust you
vait, said he, land show you some
dings." But when the curtain fell
again without any palpable evidence
having been given by which he could
convince his companions that his son
was possessed of the spark of genius,
Mr.. Dickson grew uneasy.
At last, toward the end of the third
act, goaded almost out of his mind by
the taunts of his friends, he rose in his
seat, and at the top of his voice shout
ed: "Sharlie, my poy, for Gawd's sake
do someding. Shoot de gun off!'-

George Wilson, well known cow
boy, tells the following story:
There has roamed on the ranges adj
jacent to the Platte and Laramie rivers,
for these many years, mastodon wild
steer whose aggressiveness and power
make him the dread of every round
up outfit. This combative beef bears
not a brand, but no ''rustler" dares
appropriate him.
The demon steer" as the pugna-
and with lowered head, glistening eyes
and sonorous below will charge upon
anything in his course. Time upon;
time he has been rounded up with his
comparatively docile companions, but
he invariably rushes past the line RI
ders as if no such obstruction to his
flight existed. Once a CY outfit de-
termined to effect the capture Of the
big fellow, but after he had gored two
horses and scared the wits from half
dozen riders, the undertaking was
abandoned.
This prairie terror only last season,
in fit of rage at those who dared to
intrude on the peaceful solitude of the
range, charged at midday intoa q camp,
creating a panic, TO which was ideal
quietness the clatter incident to the
stampede of the tabled bull in the china
shop. There was a scattering of equi-
page and disordered fight of the
diners. One of these latter was so in
censed that, contrary to orders, he sent
a six shooter ball after the massive
steer, but the missive flew wide its
mark.
Wilson asserts that he will under
take to prove that the demon steer
killed large bear in fair fight on
the Sybille three years ago, and the
cowboys will bet all their earthly De-
longings that the demon steer can coh-
quer any bull in the territory. The
combat with the bear was terrific
affair. Bruin was forced to the defen-
sive from the first, and for a time
| pluckily met the fearful onslaughts OF
the fighting steer, jarring the great
| form with blows from his paws. The
activity of the steer was marvellous.
He played around his antagonist as the
sparrer annoys his foe, and at nearly
every charge ran his long, sharp horns
into the bleeding sides of the bear with
the wicked ''swish" which accompanies
an effective sword thrust.
| Wilson thinks the demon steer will
die of old age. The man who attempts
his capture takes his life in his hands
