exhibition of oranges and. other fruits of
like nature) held at Chicago early in May.
When the exhibition closed he was almost
worn out, and his intention of
going to the Pacific coast by way of the
Northern Pacific railway, visiting the yell
lowstone region en- route. 1t is known that
he claimed his baggage and went to the de
pot, and that is the last attainable informa-
ton. He may be lying sick in some out of
the way place and he may be in the wilds of
Yellowstone, but weeks of search and ex-
ended telegraphing have secured no It'd
ings of him.
The lost man is a son of Captain II. S.
Hanchette, OF the Sixteenth Illinois cav
airy, who was a prisoner in Alabama when
the war closed, and could never be found
or for. The son was born at
Sullivan, Ind, and was, or is, a man of
good character and active business habits.
No reason is known why he should alb
scond, and his friends think he has wan
dered from the lines of travel in temporary
alteration of mind" There is some evil
dence that he was acting rather queerlydur-
ing his last days in Chicago.
Equally mysterious and much more COM
plicated is the case OF Charles c. Davis, an
active business man OF Somerville, Mass.
Twice in recent years he was compelled to
give up business by reason of brain trouble
Soon after his disappearance u letter to his
wife, directed in his writing, reached Som
e%rville. The postmark was Kansas City.
1t was at once forwarded with special de-
livery stamp TO Mrs. Davis, who was at
South birmingham, Mass, yet it was never
received by her, nor have the postal authori-
ties been able to discover il in the mails.
The name Of Mr.. Davis does not appear on
any hotel register in Kansas City. About
the same time a Sioux City paper an
nounced that "Charles f. Davis, of Boston,
is in the city" but before inquiry could be
made that Davis was gone, and so the mat
ter rests. The missing man is about forty
years old, and descriptions of him have been
widely circulated.
Emma Carlson is described as "a pretty
Swedish servant girl, who left ner employ

she had and would soon return AS Mrs.

1t is said that there will soon be erected
in New York a big apartment house de-
signed especially to meet the requirements
Of actors and actresses. There will be
from four to six room in each suite, and
they will differ from the ordinary French
fiat in the omission Of the kitchens. A
working actress has little time for house
work. A big will be located on
the top floor, where it is proposed to serve
meals at a very small profit. There are
hundreds OF professionals who are in New
York enough Of their time to warrant the
establishment Of permanent homes there;
but as nearness to the theatrical center of
the town is necessary, and as the rents of
the big fiat houses in that part of the city
are o~utrageously high, it has been difficult
for any but the very prosperous ones to do

meet their requirements. will find plenty

Sir Arthur Sullivan has never occupied
a prouder position than that which he fill
ed on Monday, May 25, as composer and
of the first serious opera, En-
Rlish or foreign, that has run a hundred
consecutive nights at the same theater.
The circumstances being unprecedented,
it was only fitting that the handsome
interior Of the D'Oyly Carte's Royal
English opera in London should be crowd
ed AS 1t was in every part. and that Sir
Arthur should be accorded n greeting of
exceptional warmth, while further TO
mark the Importance of the occasion, a
book containing the story of "~Ivanhoe,"
with illustrations OF the principal charac-
ters and scenes, was presented to the audi
ence as a souvenir. A fine representation
of the opera was given unde the compos-
er's skillful direction. Sir Arthur's opera,
however, owes much of its success to

From You Bet, an old mining town of
California, comes the story of a long fast
which is said to be completely authenti-
Gated. Recently Alex Mcmahon found in
a narrow passageway of a deserted build
ing at that town a young COW, which wan
dered into the structure on the LIST of April
last, and was unable to get out again.
The place where it became imprisoned was
SO narrow it could not lie down, and it WAS
there thirty-eight days without food or
water. When rescued it was a mere skel-
eton, on which the skin hung loosely. 1t

Another recent cast was that of Miss
Annie Tretter, who left her home in a viii
lage near st. Louis on March 80 to visit her
brother in that city. She did not reach his
house, nor was any trace of her discovered,
though her father, a wealthy cattle dealer,
spent the entire time hunting for her. She
is nineteen years old and quite attractive

sick; so her friends think she wandered

theory advanced since her return home the
