A Wonderful Mem0rY.

Karl Szabo, the oldest and most re-
markable of modern Hungarian actors,
died in hospital in Pesth about three
weeks ago. He was in many respects one
of the most phenomenal men on the Con-
tinental stage, and had behind him .
career of almost unparalleled vicissitudes.
He made his debut just tifty-five years
ago. Within a few years he became cele-
brated throughout Hungary as the most
finished light comedy lover in the land.
His art, however, was far from being the
first cause of the greatness of his reputa-
ton. He had a wonderful memory.
After listening to speech or sermon or
ordinary conversation he could reproduce
every sentence of it without emitting a
''the," ''an," or Ga" He often passed
an hour or two in the provincial Parlia-
ment to hear the debates of members no.
torious for their mannerisms In the
evening he would reproduce with perfect
mimicry the most quaint and curious pas
ssges from the parliamentary discussion
of the day. Whenever he was at the
theatre in the provincial capital the repre-
sentatives and other political big wigs
crowded the boxes every night to hear
Szsbo poke fun at them.
About forty-five years ago, when Szabo
was at his best, he bet a fellow actor
that he could memorize all Scribe's
comedy, "a Glass of Water" in one
night. He worked from IL o'clock in
the evening till $50 in the morning,
slept three hours, and met the company
before whom he had made the bet at 10
o'clock. He began Immediately to recite
the play, from the top of the title page,
including all directions to the actors, do
scription Of scenes, and divisions of the
action. When he got to ''inis" he made
but one mistake. In part of the piece,
which seemed to be especially familiar to
him, he forgot in his haste to preface the
opening lines with the name of the per-
son supposed to be speaking them. The
mistake was so trivial that the man at the
other end of the bet pardoned him for it
and paid the bet.-Nsw York Sun.

its incongruity with the goods on sale.
For instance, "The Electric Light" is q

go. Several of the grocery stores are
called by the names of the great cities
of the world, which is very appropriate,

THE CIRCUS is HERE.
Adam Forepaugh and His Wonders at
Oakland Park.

Adam Forepaugh and His Wonders at
Oakland Park.
Forepaugh's great show is in town and
the small boy is out in all his glory The
greater part of the circus arrived
here yesterday morning and the
tents were pitched in Oakland
PARK. The presence of all the won
ders of Mr.. Forepaugh soon became
noised abroad and all day long crowds
congregated about the inclosure, and
tried in every manner imaginable to catch
q glimpse of the marvellous sights behind
the canvass.
This morning the grand pageant parad-
ed the streets and excited much enthusi-
asm among the younger portion of the
population. There were gaily caparisoned
cavaliers, gorgeous chariots, dens of wild
animals, fierce Indian warriors and all
the other attractions of this leading
show.
Long before the hour fixed for the per-
formance this afternoon, steady process
sion of men, women and children poured
through the gates, and when Prof.
George Ganeveilets' military band
struck up its introductory musical greet
ing every seat In the vast enclosure was
occupied. After the music came the i'm

and the combined features of the circus
and Wild West shows made their intro
ductory bow.
Then followed the show, which is with
out a superior. The various features of
life in The romantic Wild West were pre-
sented first. There were all sorts Of cow
bow sports. including riding wild bucking
ponies, blood curdling Indian dances and
the realistic representation of the battle
OF the Little Big Horn in which the gal
liant Custer met his death. Captain Bogar-
dus and his sons in their portion of the en-
tertainment did some excellent shooting
and 1t was participated in by sixty In
dians Under command of Colonel Frank
d. Gates, the famous frontiersman.
The circus performance came next, and
included some new and novel features
never seen in any ring before. These were
the renowned equine gymnast, a beautiful
horse, which, under the direction of Adam
Forepaugh performed some wonderful
feats in the air, the pugilistic elephant,
John Il. Sullivan, and the Elephants
military drill.
The exciting and daring hlppodrome
with its chariot and Roman standing
races, which took away the breath of the
audience, came next. But the most re-
markable feature of the performance was
the riding and driving OF forty horses at
one time by young Adam Forepaugh.
The performance will be continued this
evening. Colonel James E. Cooper, who
owns this show, is one of the wealthiest
and most public-spirited men of Phila-
delphia.

had told company of Israelites to go up
into the country and reconnitre, which
they accordingly did. They reported that

unreliable.
'This," the pastor said, serves as a

ART TREASURES BURNED.
DISASTROUS Fire in the Bramhall Man.
sion in Orange.


Special to the jersey City Netcs.
ORANGE. May 5, 1S90--A disastrous
fire, which caused loss that is almost ir-
reparable, broke out early yesterday
morning in the beautiful residence of
George w. Bramhali, at South Orange.
Its cause is unknown. The family were
in bed at the time, but the Fire Depart
ment of East Orange ana Orange were in
attendance, but only succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames after $50, 900 worth
or etchings and works of art were des-
troved and 81, 1000 damage was done to the
building. Mr.. Bramhall, who is
wealthy New York broker, is a liberal
and intelligent patron Of art, and he had
one of the most valuable collections of
etchings in the world.
He built his house near to the Orang g
line recently, especially with q view to
provide suitable repository for his valu-
ables. It Is only lately that he moved into
the place. When the inmates of the
house saw the smoke they dressed hastily
and ran out, giving the alarm. The
Orange hremen were notified, but they
hesitated in crossing their boundary.
Mayor Truman was communicated with,
and on his order Chief Hodgkinson took
his men to the scene. The flames attract
ed large crowd, but the firemen went
quickly to work and prevented the de-
truction of the main body Of the man
ion.
The fire broke out in the clothes room
in which were a number of valuable
etchings and pictures which had not
been hung. Mr.. Bramhall believes
that he lost $4,000 worth of works
of art, and that the building was
damaged about $1,000 worth He
feels especially the loss of pictures because
he had bsen to great trouble to gather
them. The entire collection was worth
10000, and among those which were lost
are many first proofs that he cannot
duplicate. Some of those burned were an
entire collection of Mcneil Whistler earl
Ter works, some of Seymour Haden,
Stephen Parish and Thomas Moran's
work Among those saved were Hayden IS
"Agamemnon,n (etching), and Moran's
"Harlech," the only copies in existence of
these works. Mr.. Bramhall made several
attempts to save his treasures, but he was
in each instance driven back by the
flames.
None of the family or servants were in
jured. Some time ago Mr.. Bramhall ex-
hibited many of his most cherished etch-
ings in the Y. M. G. A. hall at Orange.

INSANE AND UNKNOWN.
A Prepossessing Young
Woman's Attempt at
Suicide.
WHO ARE HER FRIENDS.
Found Wandering About the P. R. B.
Depot with a Ticket for
Philadelphia.

A well dressed and rather prepossessing
young woman attempted to commit sui
eide this morning by jumping from
ferryboat in one of the slips at the Penn
sylvania ferry
The suspicious actions of the young
woman had an hour before attracted the
attention of Patrolman Reen. She had
purchased ticket for Elizabeth, passed
through the gates, and, instead OF board
ing train, wandered aimlessly about the
yards.
DEMENTED
Reen, fearing she would be run over,
approached her and asked her If she
knew where she was going. The woman'S
answer convinced him she was demented.
He took her to Police Headquarters.
where she refused to give any account of
herself beyond saying her name was
Marion Lester, that she lived in New
York. and was on her way to private
hospital in Elizabeth. She refused to give
her address and said she had no friends.
A ticket for Philadelphia was found in
her possession. This she could not ac-
count for. The police authorities con-
cluded to send her back to New York and
let the police over there dispose of her
case. She was taken down to the ferry
and placed under the charge of two deck
hands, who were instructed what to do
as soon as the other side was reached.
THE SUICIDAL ATTEMPT.
The woman quietly passed on through
the saloon to the outer deck, the deck
hands following respectful distance be-
hind. Reaching the outer deck the de-
mented woman deliberately walked
