AN ANGRY ACTRESS.

Whom She Was Thought to
Be Engaged.
Pretty George Linyard Avenges an
Insult Received From Man
ager T. S. Stout.
She Says She Never Promised to
Marry Him, and Now She
Hates Him.

ST.. LOUIS, April 26.-Miss George
Linyard, the handsome and talented
actress, publicly cowhided T. S. Stout, a
well known theatrical man.
Miss Linyard said some time ago that
Stout had insulted her, and that she
proposed to make him sorry for it..
She and three companions drove up
Market street this afternoon, and at the
corner of Fourth they met Stout. He
carried stout cane in his hand, but
that did not cause Miss Linyard to
waver in her intention. She called him
to her carriage, and as he approached
she jumped out and began to beat him
numerically with small rawhide.
Bystanders interfered, but not before
Stout had received cut in the face,
which drew blood.
AS he hurried away, Stout exclaimed !:
eff you were a man I'd kill you for
this"
Miss Linyard laughed Historically, en-
tered the carriage and was rapidly
driven away.
The whole episode only occupied a
a few moments and was over before the
police arrived.
The affair caused sensation in the
atrical circles. Miss Linyard is only
10, but has acquired considerable local
reputation.

is said that the Mikado, while holding
our government in high esteem, looks
upon that of Great Britain as the one
from which he will be able to obtain the
greatest improvements for his own.
That theory, even though it be true, re-
fleets no discredit upon this government,
and is not sufficient to pique the
pride of American patriotism when it is
that had it not been for one
American, the diplomatic Burlingame, the
eyes of the Mikado would never have

the possibilities for good or
evil, which is held by the ruler of a
great nation.

out, and the prosecution of prominent
labor leaders which have been institut-

issued an address to organize labor
throughout the state urging that mass
meetings should be held and resolutins
passed demanding that the legislature
should at once abolis the useless, in
competent, and expensive time-serving,
wealth-adoring machine known as the
board of arbitration and mediation
"There is no law" he says, ''and there
never can be law which will oblige a
man to purchase that which he does not
want. No law can be found that will

by legislature, and signed by a gov
ernor, which Furnishes man for not
buying from his enemy, then the time
for revolution in such state has
arrived"

THE STORY OF URIAH.

Jack Barrett went to Quetta
Because they told him to.
He left his wife at Slmla
On three-fourth his monthly screw
Jack Barrett died at Quetta
Ere the next months pay he drew
Jack Barrett went to Quetta.
He didn't understand
The reason of his transfer
From the pleasant mountain land
The season was September,
And it killed him out of hand.
Jack Barrett went to Quetta,
And there gave up the ghost,
Attempting two mems duty
In that very healthy post;
And Mrs. Barrett mourned for him
Five lively months at most.
Jack Barrett's bones at Quetta
Enjoy profound repose;
But l shouldn't be astonished
If now his spirit knows
The reason of his transfer
From the Himalayan SHOWS.
And when the last great bugle call
Adown the Hnrnia throbs;
When the last grim joke is entered
In the big black book of jobs,
And Quetta graveyards give again
Their victims to the air,
| shouldn't like to be the man
Who sent Jack Barrett there.
