Eyes, that was it. like realism on
the stage, but he was too eveTiastingly
realistic for NE. It was one time in my
experience when realism on the stage
was carried too ID far. -
'tTalking of realism on the stage, -
said Frank Small, who has been for
years cross between q newspaper man
and an advance agent, ''there was
rather a tough piece of realism played
some years ago at Atlanta, Ga. on Mr..
de Give, who then managed the opera
house. For years before the combina-
ton system of attraction was perpetra-
ted on q suffering public, this manager
could not be persuaded to share profits
with any travelling theatrical company.
He rented his theater at a stated sum
per night. When the system of playing
companies for share OF the gross re-
ceipts in lieu Of stated rental was in
PRODUCED, this manager had to do as
others did. Jim Hearne, who was play
ing g Hearts of Oak - was the first per-
son who managed to get sharing term
contract with him. This style of pro-
cedure was new to de Give, and he
thoughtlessly signed the ordinary and
well known contract, which provides
that the local manager shall furnish all
ENJOYABLE and perishable properties. -
There were two eating and drinking
scenes in the play, and particulars of
these were handed to Mr.. de Give, who
ordered his property man to prepare
whatever Mr.. Hearne required in the
matter of properties.
The performance that night was given
TO $50 house. The managers share
being SIS, which amount just about paid
for the gas used When the bill came in
for the realistic supper that had been fur
nished at the manager'sI expense, Mr..
de Give would have been carried home
in an ambulance had restoratives not
been applied. The bill was from the
Kimball house, and covered erYthing
from two turkeys to twelve bottles of
champagne, and amounted to FIVE times
as much as the sharing percentage on
the gross receipts of the evening enter
tainment. The Atlanta manager now
writes in large characters and in red ink
on the face of each contract signed by
him, 'No properties to be furnished ex-
cept those that exist in the theater. -

The American Hog.

WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-Secretary Rusk
recently made an urgent remonstrance
through Secretary Blaine against the inn
position by the Mexican Government of
irksome quarantine regulations in regard
to American hogs and yesterday was in
formed that a telegram had been re-
ceived from United States Minister
Ryan imparting the information that
the Government of Mexico would
issue orders without delay recalling
the obnoxious regulations. Secretary
Rusk is much gratified at the removal
of this restriction and regards it as
being possibly forerunner Of a more
liberal policy in regard to American
meat products on the part of other for
eign countries-a change Of policy which
he thinks would be facilitated should
Congress confer upon him full powers in
the matter regarding meat inspection.

A RAY OF HOPE.

An Order Reopening Their Cases Gives the
Imprisoned Chicago Anarchists Some
Hope.
SPRINGFIELD. Ill, Feb. Moses Sol
ONION. the Chicago attorney for Fielder,
Schwab and Neebe. the imprisoned An
archists. yesterday received an order
from the Chief Justice of the Illinois
Supreme Court granting a writ of error
from the United States Supreme Court
to the Supreme Court of Illinois for the
purpose of allowing the case to again go
before that court for review.
Attorney Solomon had always con-
tended that the prisoners were deprived
of constitutional right by not being
permitted to be present when the State
Supreme Court passed sentence upon
them. The United States Supreme
Court, in passing upon the case,
said: 1.-The objection that the defendants
were not actually present in the Supreme
Court of the State at the time sentence
was pronounced can not be made on the
record as it now stands, because on its
face it shows they were present. II this
is not in accordance with the fact the
record must be corrected below, not
here. 1t will be time enough to consider
whether the objection presents Fed
eral question when the correction is
made"
The State Supreme Court has refused
to allow an amendment of the record:
but not being satisfied, apparently. that
a Federal question is not involved, has
now consented to the Federal Courts
finally determining this matter. 1t has
never been the practice of the Supreme
Court of this State to have prisoners
present when that body passed
upon the Judgment of lower
courts, but if the Federal Court
decides that such right exists it will
only give the Anarchist prisoners a new
trial and possibly freedom, but will viii
ate the Judgment which consigned their
comrades to the gallows and the grave.
While good lawyers seem to think this
will not be the outcome of the matter,
solomon and his clients feel otherwise.
The case will come up for hearing at
Washington during the October term of
court.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Feb. THE eight
months-old child of A. Coble, living on
farm in the country twenty miles
southwest of Gainesville, fell from the
bed last night, where it was sleeping
with its parents. into bucket of water
which had been left on the floor by the
bedside and was drowned. The parents
were asleep at the time and were not
aware of the baby's fate till this morn
ing when they awoke and missed the
child, which was found in the bucket
with its head and shoulders submerged
in the water. 1t had probably been
dead several hours when discovered.

SHOCKING DISASTER.
One Hundred and Fifty Miners Perish h .

One Hundred and Fifty Miners Perish h
CollIery Explosion-The Disaster Due to
Culpable Negligence.
LONDON, Feb. IAN explosion oc-
CURED yesterday in a colliery at Aber-
sychan, in Monmouthshire. ten miles
northwest of Newport Three hundred
miners were imprisoned and for several
hours no communication could be had
with them. An opening was finally eff
fected and at noon 200 of them had been
rescued. A number of those taken out
were severely injured.
The cause of the explosion was the
flooding of pits adjacent to that on
which the explosion occurred, when gas
was dislodged and forced into pits where
work was in progress and there it was
ignited and exploded. There must have
been a great quantity of gas as the ex-
plosion had tremendous force and was
heard a mile distant. All the gearing
in the shaft was thrown into the air as
il from the mouth of volcano and
simultaneously vast, bright volume Of
flame shot forward. followed by dense,
heavy column of smoke.
The first party of resources endeavored
to penetrate the pit through the old
workings. They got far enough to
be able to see groups of. the dead but
could not reach them and were compelled
to move by the suffocating volume Of
smoke that arose in their direction.
Upon the first appearance Of diminu-
ton in the volume of smoke rescuers
went down the main shaft and reached
the scene of the catastrophe. They
rescued large number of miners yet
alive, but all very badly burned, and
they brought out six dead bodies nearly
all so mutilated that recognition of
their identity is impossible. The latest
estimate of the dead is $50.
The colliery surgeons are satisfied
that of those killed in the pit half were
the victims of fire damp and conclusion
and half were killed by suffocation.
Sixty bodies have been recovered, all
of which are mutilated beyond recogni-
ton.
1t is ascertained that the mine has
been in dangerous condition for some
time past Not long ago an explosion
occurred in an adjoining pit, by which
five men were killed. The damaged pit
was flooded and the water forced the
gas into the pit which was the scene Of
yesterdays disaster. Upon this informa-
tion it is already suggested that owners
of the mine be prosecuted for criminal
negligence,

THE PORTLAND FLOODS.
Caused by the Rising OF the Willamette and
Columbia Rivers.

Columbia Rivers.
PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. This morn
ing the river at this point was at stand
still. At CORVALLIS and Oregon City it
was falling at the rate of an itch an
hour.
The water in Portland is the highest
known since 1856, but so far it has been
confined to a comparatively small dis
trict and has occasioned no serious
damage. The water last night was
twenty-eight inches above high water
mark. and extended four squares back
from the river front to Third street.
The flood has been caused by the sim
ultaneous rising of the Willamette and
Columbia rivers, which are usually at
the high stage several months apart
The isolation of Portland from the
East for the last three days was not
caused by floods but by landslides along
the Columbia river obstructing the
tracks and destroying poles and wires
on the Oregon Railway Il Navigation
Company's lines.

q Western Blizzard on the Rampage
Throughout PennsyIvania and Other
Piaces-Several Fatalities.
PITTsBURGH. Pa, Feb. S.-The worst
storm in years has been raging through
out Western Pennsylvania since noon
yesterday. Snow, wind and hail have
been playing havoc. In this city no
damage was done by the wind, but tile
snow and slush has blockaded many OF
the streets and stopped street car traffic,
while telegraph and telephone lines are
breaking down under the heavy weight
of the ice with which they are coated. In
the mountains the storm is raging with
terrific fury. and reports are coming in
of serious damage to property.
At Blairsville the large glass factory
was demolished by the wind. the roof
being blown off and the two side walls
fronting east falling in. Charles E.
Barr. general manager, and William
Burney, one of the firm, were instantly
killed and a workman whose name
could not be learned injured. Mr..
Burney's body was Immediately taken
from the wreck, mangled almost beyond
recognition. Mr.. Bars remains were
recovered two hours later. The storm
at Rairsville is subsiding. There was
no further damage.
At Cniontown the roof was blown off
the Methodist Episcopal Church, a part
of IL alighting on the house of John
Brown just north of the church, crush
ing it in like an egg shell. The tower
of the church, it is feared, is SO badly
shattered it will have to be torn down.
The roof of the large new building
lately erected by the Pennsylvania Con-
struction Company, below the town, was
also blown off. A horse and wagon
driven by James Rush was blown over
Gray's hill. No one was seriously hurt.
Postmaster Bakers new house was
nearly demolished, as were also Joseph
Frankenburys and John W. Ringers
houses.
None of the coke works are running
south of Uniontown. The Redstone
Coke CO.npany's Office at Brownfield was
blown down and entirely demolished.
The end was blown out of the engine
house at Leith and the Warren glass
works were wrecked. The roof of the
Lutheran Church was blown off.
AtConnellsville the storm began in the
morning and did not subside until late
last evening. In this section the loss

ROYAL PRETENOER JUDGED.

The Duke of Orleans Suddenly Makes His
Appearance i'm Paris and is Promptly Ar
rested.
PARIS. Feb. s.-By prompt action the
Government has nipped in the bud what
was apparently intended to be Royal
coAp detdt, modelled after Louis Ma
poleon's descent upon Boulogne, and the
consequence is that the Duke of Or
leans, the eldest son of the Count of
Paris, is in custody.
The Duke arrived in Paris yesterday
bearing a letter written and signed by
the Comte de Paris. announcing to the
faithful and to all others the Counts
abdication. He also had with him a
manifesto addressed to the people of
France. Nominally, and according to
the theory of pretenders, pretender is
always king: and therefore the
Count of Paris abdicated the throne he
never possessed He consequently alb
dictated his claim as pretender, and in
virtue of this abdication, all his claims,
rights and titles descend to his eldest
son. the young man now in the hands of
the authorities, Philippe Louis Robert.
Due d'Orleans, who is therefore not
merely one of many Princes, but the ac-
tual pretender TO the throne by virtue
of his claims as the heir of Louis
Philippe and also of the old Bourbon
line.
The Dukes coming into the country
in violation of the law banishing all the
heads and direct heirs Of reigning fam
lilies is a rash escapade if it stands
alone, but the fact that he was equipped
with an appeal to the Nation showed
his intention and may make that escap-
ade serious for him. If it should de-
velop that this movement is made in
virtue of an understanding with the
partisans of the monarchy in France it
may be more than a mere violation OF
the law of expulsion
Further disposition of the case will.

Sarsaparilla will certainly prevent all such
eruptive tendencies. 1t is a sure and safe
antidote for blood poison arising from what
ever source, and its use when needed should
not be unnecessarily delayed Thousands
who found extensively advertised blood
medicines to have no efficacy whatever, are
rejoicing in the fact that Bulls Sarsaparilla
is an exception, and that good health invari-
lous symptoms disappear. the skin becomes
clear and free from pimpies, the digestion
is improved, aches and pains cease, the
weight of the body becomes greater, the
flesh more solid. lucrative and consump-
tive tendencies disappear, the power Of en-
durance is increased, weakness, dizzy spells
and unnatural fatigue vanish, in word the
user of Bulls Sarsaparilla becomes a pict-
ure of good health and strength. Try it.
