THEATRICAL RIOTS.
Shrewd Tricks Played by an Early
 Schemer by the Name of Venner.

Schemer by the Name of Venner.
 Readers of dramatic history are familiar with the well-worn subject of theatrical riots. The o. P. riots, the 'BUttle cons piracy" disturbance in the Dublin theater, the Macready riots at New York, with many other similar outbreaks, have often been described But an Eiizabethan forerunner of these disturbances may not be so well known. says writer in the Cornhill. About the end of October, 1902, the London play-goers were informed by bills cir culated by rascal named Venner that on certain Saturday evening there would be performed at a theater lon the Banckesiie" play ito be acted only by certain gentlemen and gentlewomen of account"
 As at that time women never acted in public, the female parts of plays being taken by boys and men, such an an- nouncement brought crowds to the theater. The charge was eighteen pence or two shillings, and Venner, when most of the money was taken, de- camped with the spoil. He endeavored to escape by water, but was soon over taken and secured. In the meantime the victims of the hoax, as soon as they saw how they had been gulled, wrecked the theater. John Chamberlain, writ ing to Dudley Carleton, in one of num- Der of letters since published by the Camden Society, says that they Ire venged themselves upon the hangings, curtains, stooies, walles and whatsoever came in theire way, very outragiously, and made great spoile." Somewhat akin to this Venner was the coniuror who advertised that he would jump into quart bottle at the Haymarket Thea ter on January 16, 1749. The theater was cramlued with spectators, while great crowds, unable to gain admit tance, thronged the street. The con juror, however, did not appear, but got clear away with the receipts, and his dupes took their revenge in the usual way by violent attack upon the thea ter.

Walked Up Efectuatly.

A lethargic, dormant condition of the liver is hardly to be overcome with dras- tic cathartics and nauseous cholagogues. 4 gentler, plea anter and far more effect i've means exists of arousing the organ when somnolent. This IS Hostetler's Stomach Biuers, vouched for by the medical fraternity, tested by the public for many years.

"RArILE HIS RoNes." j"
A Wild, Weird Story Told by Michigan
 Baggage Man.


 A Grand Rapids Telegram Herald re- porter was standing in the baggagc- room at the depot the other day, Observ- ing the great variety of packages that were standing about the room. There was every sort of baggage, from tho small hand-sachel to the big commercial packing case, and long, mysterious looking chest.
 "I suppose, if you only knew it, you sometimes get some very strange bag bage?" said he, speaking to one of the baggage-men. "You may have dead man in some of those big boxes"
 ''I presume VIC do occasionally have some baggage we should object to, if we only knew it." he replied. ''Once in awhile we get some emigrant baggage that has been for weeks in the steerage of vessel, and we find the flavor of it very rich. The smell of some of it would justify suspicion of all the crimes in the calendar"
 "Did you ever discover any thing very peculiar among your packages?"
 "Well, should say so. I remember one time, about twelve years ago, when we had decided sensation here. There was big square box unloaded from the train, and as it was not immediately called for, it was ordered to the back part of the room. The box was clumsy and lop-sided, much heavier on one side than the other, and the man who grappled with it was possessed of a good deal of energy. When he had rolled il nearly across the room, one of the sides gave way and out rolled human skull and about bushel of bones and other debris. It was mighty tough-looking mess, and the fellow who had been handling it lit out as if he had opened a barrel of rattlesnakes. The police au- thorities were immediately notified, and upon investigation it was found that be- sides the human remains the box also contained tombstone, with the name and age of the deceased, and an epitaph inscribed upon it.
 EWhile all hands were deliberatind over the matter, man came in and claimed the box. He explained that the contents of the box were the remains of near relative of his, who had died g couple of years before in Pennsylvania, and that now he was transporting them to his new home in the northern part of the State. Fer the sake of economy and convenience he had put the whole busi- ness in homemade box.
 "rhe box was speedily repaired, and went on to its final destination"

He Claims That His Wife's Ill Treatment
Drove Him From Home and Family.
The answer of Wilson j. Minnick to the
libel for divorce filed py his wife, Elvira,
was prepared yesterday and will be filed to-
day by Attorney Yost.
The answer says: "This respondent, saw.
ing to himself all manner of benef: and
advantantage of exception to the manifold
uncertainties and imperfections in the said
libel, for answer thereto, or to SO much
thereof as this respondent is advised it is in
any way material for him to answer. saws
that true it is that said Elvira was lawfully
Joined in marriage with this responde 1t, but
not on November 10, 1868, as averred, but
aiterward, November %, 1882" The
respondent then SAYS that Elvira has not
demeaned herself as dutiful wife should,
and claims that he always conducted him
self as becoming a faithful husband. He
denies that he has been guilty of cruel and
barbarous treatment of Eivira, and denies
that he has abused her and afflicted her with
personal indignities He denies that his
conduct forced his wife to leave her home
and family, and says that, as matter of
fact, she did not leave at all. On the con-
trary he declares that his wi fe's unseemly
conduct and Ill treatment forced him to
leave his home. His correct name, he saws.

BE VICTIM EIGHTY YEARS OLD.
GREAT MEETINGS AT CONNELLsvILLE

ESPECIAL TELKoRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I
BUTLER, April 30.-Mrs. Anne Edwards,
aged so, who lived on the hill west of town,
was instantly killed this evening by an ex-
plosion that tore the limbs from her body
and shattered her house from top to bottom.
The old lady lived all alone in the house,
and it is impossible to ascertain the cause of
the explosion. The only plausible theory
advanced is that it was caused by nitro-glycer-
inc. she told DR.. Graham few days ago that
she had found three empty cans in a fence
corner near her homo, and that she had taken
them into the house.
1t is believed that while she was handling
these cans. the small quantity of explosive ma
teriaI remaining N them was set of. The porch
where the explosion occurred was blown into
kindling wood, and small pieces of human flesh
were found scattered about the yard Hun
dreds of the town people visited the scene of
the disaster at once. Rev. r. A. Edwards,
prominent Episcopal clergyman of Philadel-
phia, and her only son, had long wanted his
mother to make her home with him, but she
preferred to live and die where she had spent
the greater portion of her life.
The remains were taken to an undertaker's
roCms, and after being dressed were conveyed
to the Episcopal parsonage. The deceased had
lived here for many years, and was highly es-
teemed.

Curious Prices.

Curious Prices.
Advertising prices, without
clear information of what for,
is one of the plaques of the
clothing business. There are
more apostrophes and ad-
jectives often over a com
paratively valueless quality at
a cheap price than would do
for a proclamation of martial
law!
Never hear a word from
Wanamaker's about prices, do
you?
Well do anything we can to
help you to a fair judgment
about clothing, and get you
coming to our store, but how
advertising our prices will do
that is, we confess, a mystery.
They tell you about quality
no more than dashing a chunk
of cold iron into water dis
covers its temper.
There's one common sense
way of understanding prices;
and that's with the goods in
hand, the quality stated, and
an examination of the fit and
workmanship.
Well submit our goods with
perfect confidence to that way
of finding which is cheapest.
Nobody can beat us on
prices for reliable clothing,
though we're not making a big
flourish of them in newspapers.
