She Says That Her Life Was Imperiled Re-
Gently I'm This City.
The beautiful Omene, who allowed Yank Hoe
to bisect potato placed on her throat during
the recent engagement Of ''Claudius Nero" in
this city, says that Manager Brady engaged her
and Yank Hoe four weeks ago for q season of
twenty-six weeks in "Claudius Nero" They
Joined the company at Warrington and their
troubles began Immediately. The very first
night Stage Manager Max Freeman set the
lions cage within a foot and half Of the foot
lights at one point. leaving less than half the
space necessary for the illusionists, and, Omene
said, endangering her life in the potato act.
Yank Hoe places a potato on the throat of
the reclining Omene and with quick stroke of
his scimitar cuts the potato in two without
scratching her skin. The lions cage was SO
close, according to Omene. that Yank Hoe
twice struck the iron bars with his sword, and
for second she feared that when the sword
fell her head might be cut off,
Mr.. Brady. when questioned as to the state
ment, asserted that there was no possible dam
ger of the scimitar beheading Omene, because
he had discovered Yank Hoe ran wire through
the bottom of the potato

King Kalakaua. said yesterday that the kings
last instructions to him were regarding the
treaty existing between the two countries He
had him convey special instructions to the
Hawaiian minister at Washington to ask Secre-
tary Blaine to do everything in his power to set

A Very singular Case.

A peculiar case was developed in Parkers-
burg. WA, yesterday. A man named Williams
was arrested for peddling without a license. He
said he wanted to earn money for his sick wife.
Officers visited his home and found his wife
lying on two boxes, apparently sick. No food
was in the house and everything indicated the
most abiect poverty. A search resulted in the
discovery Of an old trunk, which was filed with
costly laces, shawls. expensive silks and satins,
silver ware and tin box full Of money. The
total amount was well up into the thousands
The man said the property belonged to his wife
He was releasted, as no charge was brought
against him, but the police are Watching the

THE CLOTURE RULE.
Senator Gray Tells How 1t Originated in the
English Parliament

After Mr.. Cockrell closed his speech on the
cloture resolution yesterday Mr.. Gray took the
floor and made a very impressive speech. In
| closing he reminded the advocates of this reso-
luton that cloture was first introduced to the
English-speaking people to assist the tories in
| suppressing the home rule movement in Ire
land. 1t was a significant fact, he said. preg-
nant with instruction and warning to the Amer.
lean people, that the first time in the history Of
England that an attempt was made in the house
of commons to limit debate it was made in or
der to suppress home rule in Ireland. Let
gentlemen go out and tell their naturalized
fellow-citizens from that stricken and unhappy
isle that the American Senate was taking page
from the history of the English parliament.
Cloture had been adopted in England in order
that Irishmen might be gagged in the house of
commons when they attempted to assert that
freedom of speech which belonged to them as
representatives of their nation and of their peO-
Pile. Let gentlemen tell the naturalized citi-
zens that that was the example they were fol-
lowing in order to destroy home rule in this
country.
Mr.. Hoar inquired whether the cloture rule
in England had not been adopted under the
lead of Mr.. Gladstone, the great leader Of the
home rule party today, but who had not
| changed his opinion in that respect.
Mr.. Gray replied that he trusted that the
conversion that took place in the great English
statesman in 1882 would take place in some
equally distinguished American statesman in
1891. [Laughter.l
Mr.. Aldrich inquired whether Gladstone had
changed his opinion relative to the change Of
rules.
Mr.. Gray responded that Gladstone, at the
time he led his party, was the inveterate, I'M
compromising foe OF home rule in Ireland. He
would not listen to the arguments of those who
were defending their people. But since that
unhappy day Mr.. Gladstone had been great
enough and big enough and grand enough to
put behind him the errors he had committed
and to put himself at the head of that gallant
band of Enghshmen which was fighting for the
liberties of Ireland.
At the close of Mr.. Gray's speech Mr.. Stew
art took the floor and will speak today.

A LYMPH PATIENT TALKS.
william began Tells How It Feels to
Treated and Has Little Faith.

"uham OeGAn Tells How 1t Feels to Be
Treated and Has Little Faith.
William began, the first American consump-
tive sent to Berlin to be treated by Prof. Koch,
yesterday re-entered the st. Francis Hospital
in New York, at which institution he was for
merly patient, for the continuation Of the
lymph inoculations at the hands of Dr. George
+. Shrady. He gave his impression of the
workings of the lymph as follows:
after the first injection was given me 1 felt
pain around my heart-a sort of stitch in my
side. l couldn't lay on my back for all day.
After two or three days the pain moved around
into my back and then disappeared altogether
After this didn't feel any pain. had a good
appetite all the time was there. Before I left
here spat up little blood. but after the third
or fourth injection of the lymph had bad
hemorrhage. and they had to put ice bags
injection for two or three DAYS and the hemer-
rhage stopped. That's what knocked them out
tho hemorrhages. didn't have much of n
fever while was gone. Only once my temper
ature went up to l02, and once to l0l. NV
pulse was pretty regular all the time. Yes.
there were a good many deaths among the
patients, and say. let me tell you something:
Paris paper has something in nearly every
edition abont the wonderful cures from Koch's
lymph, but all the time l was there never
heard OF one single cure from it,"
But haven't you any faith in the LYMPH"
mot the slightest"
''Hasn't it helped you at all?'
"Only my throat. that's all I had two bad
ulcers in my throat, but they are almost all
gone, and l think the lymph did that. 1
couldn't hardly talk before 1 went away. and
now can talk first-ra.e."
why do you continue the treatment?"
''Well. it's a dying chance II it don't kill
me it will cure me, maybe. and if it don't cure
me III die anyway, 30 I might as well keep it
up"

THE OLD MANS BAD NIGHT.

But He Finally Talked His Way 10 Raj
ferty's With Coin for Whisky.
From the New York Sun.
A very seedy, white-haired, miserable-look-
ing man went skurrying round the corner Of
21st street and 9Th avenue before an icy wind
the other evening, and, after getting under the
lee of the big bank building. paused to look
around him. He found himself Unexpectedly
alongside young man in fur-lined overcoat,
who was waiting for horse car.
"Good evening, boss" said the old man. Its
pretty cold and I haven't the price of a whisky
My luck today has been fearful I haven't
picked up a nickel"
The young man in the fur coat was Q careful
student of human nature, and always made a
practice Of questioning broken-down side
walk worker whenever he came across one.
81 don't suppose people are generous" said
he, 'just after the holidays. You beggars must
| have a pretty hard time Of it,
SWELL, replied the old man, 81 don't beg
very often. It's only when I can't do any
| business. and night finds me dead broke that I
strike anybody for a loan"
What's your business?" asked the young
man in the fur coat.
"rll tell you" was the reply During the
rush hours on the elevated road 60 up into a
crowded station and linger round Just outside
the entrance where the people put their tickets
There Is such a hustle and hurry that no one
notices me, or if am noticed people think am
up in the station to get out of the wiud. Well,
I simply watch the crowd near the window Nv
time is when q Harlem train pulls into the sta
ton, and the people buying tickets get excited
| and pull and push one another about in their
efforts to catch =. keep my eye on the ground
and when the mob rushes through the gate
more than likely find q piece of silver living
there. You see my conscience does not trouble
me when pick it up. 1t doesn't belong TO the
railroad company and the party il does belong
to is on his way TO Harlem. You'd be surprised
to know what good hauls a man can make
at the business. All that is necessary to be
| successful is to keep out of sight of
the ticket and gate men. I work 18th, Esd. SD
and AID streets every night. Last night I
caught 80 cents and about month ago swiped
dollar bill. Tonight, though. people had Q
tight hold on their money and never even got
nickel; and it's cold, too. 1 wouldn't mind il
had just the price Of one ball I could 60
over to Raderty's place on 9TH avenue then
and sit against the stove for an hour"
The young man in the fur coat pushed . sil-
YER coin into the old rascal's hand He touched
his ragged cap and said:
"Young fellow, you're great Come up 10 the
next corner and III blow you on"
But the young man was boarding the street
car, leaving the street adventurer TO shufae
over to Raferty's with his precious, heart-rs-
storing silver coin.

TALK OF A WONDERFUL INVENTION,
Fifty Horse Power In Electricity From
Snhere Sixteen Tur1nas in nluvr><>-

Fifty Horse Power In Electricity From q
Sphere Sixteen Inches in Diameter.
The accounts that come across the Atlantic
Of an electric invention made by DR.. Man.
druft in Geneva, Switzerland, have a strong
SAVIOR Of improbability, to say the least The
machine is described q simple device, q solid
sphere or copper, 40 centimeters in diameter
about 16 inches--contained within a sphere of
zinc so centimeters in diameter
The two spheres revolve in opposite direc-
tons at the rate Of 500 revolutions minute,
and a space between is kept filed with steam
at pressure of six atmospheres. 1t is said that
from half horse power of motive force an
electric current is developed sufficient to run
500 incandescent lamps. As ten lamps are
reckoned to q horse power, this means Fifty
horse power in electricity.
Now this would be absolutely absurd were Il
claimed that 30 small an amount Of motive
power alone produced such an astonishing re-
suit. The law Of conversion Of energy shows
it to be impossible to develop from any device
Whatever more force than il applied TO the
operation Of that device. II would BE- getting
something out Of nothing, or like the proverb-
ial effort to lift ones self BY the boot straps.
II there ID any basis TO the story, the electric
power must be developed mainly through Q
conversion Of the energy resident either in the
heat or some other property In the steam under
some hitherto unknown mechanical or chem
ical principle.
Should these reports BE- verified or the con-
version Of heat into electricity b Effected In
some other way, The results would indeed be
almost beyond the limits Of conjecture in TIE
changes wrought. An Extraordinary eheapen-
ing Of light and motive power would be brought
shout and the cost Of al kinds Of mechanical
production would be correspondinely dimin-
ished. Labor-saving devices Of al sorts would
be moro generally introduced. Electric heat
ing, instead Of being merely theoretieally prae-
tcabls, would probably become IL chespest
