From q painting by william Iuman In the
possession OF Joseph Jerrr5nnl
English tragedIau. who died April %, lsT3.
and by unanimous consent the somewhat
aimlrss gathering was turned into an in,
formal memorial meeting Ia the dead act
or's honor. said an old man with smooth
face and jolly eyes:
"Mucready was % man Of strange disposi-
ton. He forever seemed unhappy, with
an often p~etuiant aud uueuyiahle temper.
and vet, with all his faults, he was pos
sessed Of a good heart and honesty Of pur
pose.
His unpleasant peculiarities were evi
dcuced more, perhaps, in his eNartions at
rehearsals than anything else, and during
his visit to this country the actors with
whom be came in contact almost iuvnri-
ably disliked him, and made DO a point to
annoy him.
AT one time while rphrursing his great
character OF Richplieu ina Boston hr at
tempted uusucccssfully to correct the read
ing Of certain lines ia the early part Of the
play by the actor cast for the king. But
when the time came for rchCarsing the last
scene MaCready was most particular in his
direction. telling the actor especially to
keep a certain document. which he was to
hand to Macready %uufolded, IA such u posi-
ton that IL would not obscure tho au
dience's view, and not in any circumstance
to touch Richelieu. But when the scene
came on, the actor, instead VI doing rs di-
rected, rushed at the great actor and held
before him the large parchment, thereby
concealiug from the audience the TRACE
dams face and the whole OF the upper part
Of his body. Macready literally gronned
After much paving Richclieu was en-
abled 70 grasp the document, when the re
bellious motor, not satisfied with the mis-
chief he had wrought, seized the uufortu
nate RiChelicu by the arm and commenced
pumping it up and down and shaking him
with great violence. "Let me 20" groaned
Macready. Let go my arm, STRIP and by
a succession Of jerks he finally released
himself, amid great laughter from the
audience. It Is needless to say that the
actor was never permitted 10 act with Ma
crcady again"
This anecdote recalled another incident
which occurred during u rehearsal Of the
same piece at the Aston Place Opera house
in New York. An actor Of the name of
Keller, who was cast for the part of
HuRuet, appeared at rehearsal with a
large bowie knife stuck in his waistbaud.
and when he came on the stage to 70
through his scene with MaCrendy, without
saying a word be pulled IL out, and, keeping
his ewes fixed herccly on the tragcdiau,
picked bis teeth with IL. At this Macready
became very nervous. and asked Mr.. Ryder,
who accompanied him, to find out from
the manager why tho young gentleman
carried SO dangerous "a weapon. Keller,
on being asked, said, "To cut in pieces any
Englishmuu who dGrcs 20 attrout me"

advocates, there exists fierce competition.

dreamed Of a contest for the place Of heads.
mani Yet one is now going on at Paris.
An effort is being made to induce Deibler,
the French eXccutiOner, to resign, and a
report has been sent to the minister Of JUS

three years OF age, Is unht to fulfill his
duties under ordinary conditions. The

added that he had met the executioners of

main object in view being TO secure the in
surance money and establish herself at an
other place where her lover had his home.
Upon this showing Miss Birch was arrest
ed, but when brought before a justice she
was confronted neither with the detective
nor the confession, and was set free after
making a statement that the person guilty
Of arson was not herself, but the man with
whom she was infatuated. Hearing that
a warrant was out for his arrest, the al
legged lover promptly visited Islip, pleaded
not guilty and CAV bail. He refused to
call on Miss Birch, although it was limited
that If he did so and made arrangements
to marry her the prosecution would be
dropped. Now the detective has reappear-
ed, and claims that his absence from the
trial was due to lack Of notification. Miss
Birch has again been arrested, and what
ever the final outcome of the business may
be, it seems probable that she has lost her
lover, her trade rs a milliner and consider

still another strange freak to be charged
up TO Cupid's count has to do with the
UNION OF Two persons NlIIerlng widely in
race, habits and antecedents. Standing
Bear is a Sioux warrior of the Ogallala
tribe. He went to Europe a year or two
ago with Buffalo Bits Wild West exhibi-
ton. At Vienna one Of the visitors to the
show wa Mrs. Louisa Ahne, whose hus-
band had recently died, and who is the
mother Of two bright little children. Mrs.
Ahue fell. in love with Standing Bear at
first sight; and perhaps she is not alto
gether TO blame, for he is a magnificent
specimen Of Indian manhood, being six
feet three inches tall and weighing 10
pounds. The widow did not hesitate to
announce that her affections went out to
the big brave. She told him so through
an interpreter, and when. soon afterward,
Standing Bear met with an accident she
took him to her home and nursed him
back to health. Before the end Of his
four weeks illness the warrior %capitulated,
aud when he started TO rejoin the show he
did so as an engaged man. At the close Of
the tour he returned to Vienna, and the
couple were married at st. Stephens
church. Then they went to the village Of

dazzling them by the almost irresistible
charms Of her beauty, administered to
each, unknown to the others, a solemn
oath binding him to do her behests, and to
assassinate the emperor on a day and in
the manner fixed by her. She was deter.
