C )nversation between Barbara and Jock,
| in which she makes her heroine give ex-
preston to some rather indelicate con.
fidences, dress her less classically yet
more decently, and regulate that incon-
| venient il statuesque tendency to pose,
dedicating her work to sanctified mar
ital affection, the public would perhaps
regard her effort less severely.
If Mrs. Chanler in any way compro-
missed herself in the production of the
"Quick or the Dead" it would be more
kindly TO conclude that she conceived it
from no wanton sensualism. n perusing
biography of her life, it will be remem-
bered that she was largely and freely
associated with grown persons. This
would explain her painful precocity in
matters usually sealed volume to the
pure maiden mind. Naturally sensitive
and poetical, she sought to adjust the facts
to her ideals, and youth and inexperience.
Ii the result seems an .exaggeration
of sentiment, it is because she sought
to harmonic tho grosser instincts to
which, in her practical ignorance, she
attached unreal and undue prominence,
with her romantic ideas. Her girlish
vanity rejoices in too eccentric surround
ings for her hero and heroine, and her
craze for unique and original embellish-
ments of style is responsible for her
perpetration of the obsolete and un-
authorized, while, for the better part,
there are many passages in her novel
that demonstrate her to be the possessor
of warm Imagination and superior emo
tional power.
To quote Mrs. Elsmere, Sr., "Now-a-
days, killing oneself seems to be a
necessary preliminary of useful career"
The majority of opinions tend to belief
that when Mrs. Amelie Rives Chanler
published "The Quick or the Dead" she
performed that obligatory sacrifice in the
most successful manner. Others of a
more sarguine disposition. feel that there
is good deal of literary vitality yet in
the beautiful Southern devotee and
reasonably trust to glorious. resurrec-

cried for help and slipped. AS she
did so the tiger made spring,
bit her on the shoulder, then
in the throat, literally rent her
to pieces, and tossed her body about.
Half the audience ran to the doors in
horror, 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 to have been as much frightened
as the human spectators, for he took no
part in the carnage. The proprietor OF
the show has since admitted that this
tiger had already killed two people,

The Certificate Brokers.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 27.-In the
Ciprico case to-day, Judge Sawyer ruled
that no transactions prior to the time
mentioned in the complaint could be in
troduced in evidence. This gives the
prosecution a setback, as the pros
ecuting attorney says the theory
of the prosecution depended on
certain facts which happened before
the time mentioned at the adjournment
of the court. Attorney Carey asked the
court to release Boyd from further Gus
tody, under the condition that he appear
tomorrow morning for further examina-
ton. The court granted the request.
Boyd was released after having been
confined at Alcatraz Island nearly two
months as a witness.
