MARGARET kendall,
THE GREAT ENGLISH ACTRESS.

While cultivated people in England
are bidding Mrs. Kendall goodbye
Americans appreciative of great his
trionic ability are anticipating the
treat in store for them, when the ac-
tress who is described as 1.-THE most
conscientious artist on the English
STAGE will be seen on this side the
Atlantic. Representations by Mrs.
Kendall eXemplify art that is intelli-
gent, delicate and sympathetic, fin
ished and natural. The actress in
private life is a fascinating and de-
lightful lady. She was born on
March 10, 1913, at Great Grimsby,
England, the youngest of twenty-five
children born to the same father and
mother. Thomas w. Robertson, au-
thor of"Caste,n was the eldest of the
blood to who she belonged. The fam
lily had been on the stage for seven
generations before the advent of the
Robertson family of twenty-five chill
dren. Margaret's father was a law
yer, but he married a mate who dearly
loved the theatre, and who placed
her darling little Madge on the boards
in the year 1852, before she was five
years old. The first appearance of the
young actress in London was in 1865,
when she played Ophelia and Des-
demona but without particular sue
cess. In 1868, however, on her second
visit to the great town, she made a
hit as Blanch Dumont, in the "Hero
of Romance" She married in 1869,
Will Hunter Grimston, whose stage
name was Kendall. The couple are
prosperous and lead in the produc-
tion of what is called the modern
drawing room drama.n

A Very Discreet Sheriff.

JACKSON, Miss, August The
trouble in Bolivar county is not yet
over. Information was received Sun
day from the sheriff of that county,
that w. Eissenger, who killed an
editor at Rosedale, and who had es-
capped, took refuge at Concordia,
where surrounded by friends he de-
fed arrest and the sheriff was pow
erless, and said an effort to arrest the
fugitive would most probably result
in bloodshed. Gov. Lowry replied
that the sheriff should make an effort
to perform his duty by aid of a posse
comitatus, and if unable to do this, to
call on him and he 1.-THE governor)
would send troops. Nothing further
has been heard from the sheriff.

LIQUOR MEN ELATED.

A Kansas Decision in Their Favor.
Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.l
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan. August s.
For some time past it has been the
custom of the marshal in this city TO
refuse to accept anything but a cash
bond from parties when arrested for
violating the prohibition law. This
was found to be good method of
raising revenue for the maintenance
of the police from those engaged in
the illegal liquor traffic, and greatly
aided the enforcement of the law, as
the 'jointests' generally forfeited their
cash bond of 800 and left the city for
fear of imprisonment. The action
of the marshal in refusing a good and
sufficient bond was bitterly complain
ed of by the liquor men, and they re-
solved to test it's legality. Last night
John Davis was arrested by the po-
lice on the charge of selling LIQUOR,
and brought before the marshal,
where he refused to put up a cash
bond of 500, but offered a bond OF
$500 with approved security, which
was refused, and he was committed
to Jail. This morning his attorney
began proceedings against the chief
of police under writ of habeas cor
pus to get him out of prison, alleging
that good and sufficient bond had
been rendered for his release. The
case was heard by Judge Crozier, of
the district court, sitting in chambers
at the city marshal's office. After
hearing the case he ordered the i'm
mediate release of Davis, and said he
took the responsibility as Judge
of the district court to ap-
prove the bond offered by him.
During the hearing of the case it was
mentioned that there was an agree
ment between the Police Judge and
Marshal to accept nothing but cash
bond. He asked what the result
would be if he should agree with the
County Commissioners to accept MOTH
ing but cash bonds from people who
are arrested. He answered fmmedi-
ately his own question by saying that
he would be promptly impeached,
and that it would be right. The de-
cision of the Judge in holding that
furnishing of good bond would have
to be accepted in the future has
greatly elated the liquor men, who
have been making a hopeless and
losing fight here lately.

Philanthropic Chicago.

CHICAGO, August Presidents of
Chicago or elsewhere, who may be un-
fortunate enough to be bitten by mad
dogs, will not hereafter have to go to
Paris for treatment by Pasteur. The
county's Public service committee has
set apart two rooms in ward Is, to be
used by DR.. Antonio Lagario for
treatment of hydrophobia according
to Pasteur's methods. DR.. Lagario is
a Chicagoan by birth, hut he spent
five years as student with Pasteur.

Kahn ASSIGNS.
AGood Merchant in Difficulties.

AGood Merchant in Difficulties.
When the announcement was made
on the street yesterday that A.
Kahn's house, one of the leading re-
tail dry goods houses of this city, was
in difficulties surprised and regret
full feeling was very generally mani
tested. This house had well estab-
llshed reputation and was considered
one of the heavy and substantial
houses of the city, and the filing of
articles of assignment with the coun-
ty clerk was a surprise to the street.
The assignment recites no particu-
lars, but places assets and Habili-
ties, and states that the assignor is
indebted in various sums that he is
unable to pay. Assets are given at
SIS, 200, liabilities at $4,000, and L.
Efron is named as assignee. His
bond was fixed by Judge King at
$4,000. Immediate causes of failure
are not stated, and neither Mr.. Kahn
nor Mr.. Efron are ready to give par
ticulars. A full schedule of liabili-
ties and assets will be filed as soon
as practicable. This failure has call
ed forth the sympathy of the commu-
nifty in which Mr.. Kahn has been do
ing business for the past ten years.
The LIGHT sincerely hopes that Mr..
Kahn may so manage his affairs as to
con tinue business in this city.
