NINA'S FATE.
A Friendless, Unfortunate Girl Taken
to the Hospital.

A Friendless, Unfortunate Girl Taken
to the Hospital.
The hospital ambulance in front of
dry goods store on Spring street at
tracted more than passing attention
yesterday afternoon. A few minutes
later an attenuated form was carried
down stairs from room in the lodging
house above. 1t was a girl of Is years.
She appeared to be very ill, and had
been in bed for fortnight with pneu-
monia. She was known among her as
sociates as Nina. and was being moved
to the county hospital. probably to die
and fill paupers grave. Her gay
friends and associates had forgotten her
in the hour of need, and she was obliged
to seek quarters at the hospital, as all
her money was gone. Nina was very
pretty girl, and was we'll known to peo-
pie who keep late hours. She contract
ed severe cold, which developed into
pneumonia, and the doctors say that
her recovery is doubtful. No one ap-
pears to know her parents or antece-
dents. She was child of misfortune
and no loving parents, brothers or sis
ters will probably ever learn of the i'll
ness of the misguided girl.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
A Cunning Old Rascal Unmasked.
His Career in Los Angeles
to be Brought to
An Untimely

For some time past a cunning old
rascal has been plying his nefarious
practices in our midst, and apparently
escaping unpunished. But few have
escaped experiences at his hands. He
has bulldozed our most prominent
merchants, entered the homes of respect
able families, pedestrians delayed out
late at night have encountered him.
he has even gone so far as to enter the
leading stores OF the city and attempted
to ply his avocation among ladies who
were shopping. Young school girls
have been subjected to his perE ecutions
Young students have had reason to
suffer at his hands, until finally it grew
to be such an obnoxious persecution
that the police were notified, and with
their usual sagacity and perseverance
succeeded in locating the wretch in
prominent shoe store and arrested him
yesterday afternoon. The name of the
old wretch is Procrastination, and he
has been known as the thief of time.
He was arrested in Lewis shoe store, at
pol North Spring steeet, and lodged him
in Jail.
Now old Procrastination is out OF the
way, it isn't necessary to delay any
longer in purchasing your boots and
shoes and getting a handsome assort-
ment of toys free. If you do delay, you
will miss getting the cream of the nice
things we are giving away. We want to
remind you, also, not to delay buying
those beautiful embroidered slippers for
gentlemen. You can get them at one
dollar pair, and they make the incest
kind of Christmas present. Then
there are silk plush slippers embroid-
cred with chenille, red alligator slippers,
sure enough Russian tan slippers at the
lowest kind of price and in an elegant
variety of styles; and don't forget you
get handsome presents free with all
purchases.

DELUDED CHILEANs.
Foreigners Flattering Them Into Fight
ing the Yankees.

Foreigners Flattering Them Into Fight
ing the Yankees.
VALPARAISO, Dec. 14.-There is grow
ing excitement over the situation be.
tween Chile and the United States, and
tions to prevent renewal OF insult or
injury to Americans. Foreign residents
generally regard the prospects as seri-
Gus, and are not sanguine of a peace
able outcome of the controversy. The
better class of Chileans seem to
be impressed that the United
States will not fight, and that
Valparaiso would be protected from
damage by the English and Germans on
account of the large interests of those
nationalities in Valparaiso, should war
break out. For this assurance they are
dependent on the loose talk of English
and German officials at social gather
ings at Santiago and Valparaiso, when
wine flowed freely. These promises OF
foreign aid are chiefly the outcome of
European rivalry for Chilean trade,
merchants and other unauthorized per-
sons making statements without founda-
ton, in order to hatter Chilean pride
and gain some advantage. Well-in-
formed Chileans share in surprising
degree the illusions thus created, and
some OF them express desire to thrash
the Americans. The departure OF the
American war ship Baltimore is viewed
with regret by the Americans, who are
hoping for the early arrival of the
Boston.

THE GRAVES TRIAL.
The Testimony of Important witnesses
GtUan

The Testimony of Important Witnesses
Given.
DENVER, Colo, Dec. 14.-In the Bar
nahy-Gr trial today, Mrs. e. S.
Worrell was the first witness. She said
she became acquainted with Mrs. Bar
naby last January, when she arrived in
this city, with Mrs. Worrell, ST., on her
trip to California. She next saw her in
April, when she returned from Califor-
MIA. Witness remembered the arrival
of the d9adly bottle at her house, but
could not say she had seen it before.
She thought, however, it contained
whisky, for she heard some one say so.
Witness testified that Mrs. Worrell
Sr., and Mrs. Barnaby became i'll and
the latter died from drinking some OF
the contents OF the bottle, which they
supposed came from Benefits. She
then told of her meeting with DR.. Graves
upon his arrival in Denver.
Mrs. Worrell, Jr., further said that on
Tuesday she asked Mrs. Barnaby if she
believed the Bennetts sent the bottle,
asking this because when Mrs. Barnaby
opened the bottle she spoke Of the Ben
netts' having sent it. She also asked
if Mrs. Barnaby believed that DR..
Graves sent it, saying she believed
the doctor had complete control of Mrs.
Barnaby's affairs, and knew she was
Satisfied with the way he had treated
her in California. Witness heard that
Mrs. Barnaby had left the doctor $50 900
in her will, and that she left Mrs. Wor-
rell some money.
On cross-examination witness admit
ted that the fatal bottle remained in a
buggy at livery stable all night, and
was not brought to the house until next
day.
Mrs. Worrell's grandmother, Mrs. AL
len, then testified as to the illness OF
of Mrs. Barnaby and Mrs. Worrell, Sr.
One day Mrs. Barnaby asked her to
keep the affair out Of the papers; that
she would put it in the hands of detec-
tives; she had no enemies, but thought
a maid she had didn't like her; that
this maid was employed at DR.. Graves
request. Witness asked Mrs. Barnaby
if there was anyone that would do this.
She replied she had left DR.. Graves
$4,000 and spoke of her mother dying
not long before; also her daughters.
Mrs. Conrad, mother of Mrs. Wor-
rell, Jr., testified much the same as her
daughter, except that she spoke of how
nervous DR.. Graves was when he called
at Mrs. Worrells. She said ON the
funeral car, returning east, Mrs. Wor-
rell. Jr., complained of feeling i'll. The
doctor at once offered to give her some
whisky, but she turned away, and said
"Oh, excuse me-" He repeated his
offer three times.
Mrs. Conrad admitted that the real
estate firm of Worrell & Co. did little
business, but she would never entertain
thought that they could have commit
ted the crime to get sic, 900 left them by
Mrs. Barnaby.

GRAND CHANGES HANDS.
j. Frank Conklin is Again In.
Charge,

The management of the Grand in Min
neapolis has changed. Parker & Thompson.
the lessees of the house, gave up the lease
last night. j. Frank Conkliu, the former
manager of the house, will conduct that thea
ter and the Lyceum, both of them the props
erty of q syndicate. until new manager IS
chosen. This result has been pending for
some time. Over a month ago it was ru.
mored that Parker & Thompson would
drop the theater. but it was said
later that the difficulty had been tided over.
They decided yesterday. however. to give up
the house and to surrender the lease 10 the
bOndsmen. Among the firms and individ-
uals who were on the bonds of Parkerl&
Thompson were the Metropolitan bank, Gees
aman d. Murphy and NJ. Breslauer. 1t is NOT
known yet how much of the rent they will
have to make good. The syndicate owners
of the theaters had an iron-clad contract, so
1t is said, for five years. The bondsmen as
sumed the responsibility for the contract
Whether the syndicate will hold them
to the terms is question. 1t
Is probable that that matter will he straight
ened out to the satisfaction of all concerned.
The reason for the failure of Parker &
Thompson to hold the theaters is not far TO
seek. 1t is admitted that the rental,
5000 year for the theaters,
never paid more than running expenses. and
seldom that. The profits from the Grand
were not enough to carry both houses. Bad
luck has had something to do with the fail
ure. The season has not been good. The
best attractions have failed to draw.
This luck, coupled with the excessive
rental, forced c. A. Parker and August
Thompson out of the amusement business in
Minneapolis. They could not be seen last
night relative TO their plans for the future.
Both are excellent men of business and will
probably come up smiling in Minneapolis

INCREASE THE FUND.
Effort to Make the Convention
Guaranty Fund 100000.

The Minneapolis convention hosts have
decided that $4,000 will not pay for taking
care of the gathering of the Republican wire
pullers rs it should be taken care of. OF
course, that snm would probably pay the
bare running expenses of getting ready for
such a gathering. but something more is
wanted. 1t is urged that the city should
make on effort to show the world at this most
opportune time that it can be the most roy
ally hospitable place on earth With that
end in view, the finance committee has
asked all the subscribers to the guaranty fund
to double their subscriptions. That is thought
to be the easiest way TO raise the additional
$4,000 However, the committee has no OBJ
lection to any one adding his name to the
list of subscribers. even though his name be
not on that list now.
The telegraph companies have not made
any arrangements as yet for taking care of
the increased business of the convention, but
the superintendent of both of them promise
that nothing will be lacking. General Super
intendent ii A. futile, of the North Amer
lean. says that S company will be ready to
handle at least 10000 words a day. Supt.
McMichael, of the Western Union, says that
his company will put enough additional
wires into the exposition building to take
care of all the business over there. The
fastest senders Will be brought here to put
the matter on the wire. He says that the
statistics show that the business of each con-
YentiOn shows an increase of fully % per
cent over the previous convention.

ANUS ENIENTS.

Miss Lillian Lewis and company presented
LAS in a Looking Glass at the Grand last
night. 1t is unfortunate for Miss Lewis that
she did not begin her engagement with this
piece. AS play 1t is better than Credit
Lorraine and shU appears to better ad.
vantage in it. Last evening her disposition
to rant was not so pronounced, but some of
the members OF her company, notably Mr..
Collier and Mr.. Elliott, seemed unable to re-
sist the temptation to use the lungs and the
cultural tones too much. The death scene
in the last act was well done By Miss Lewis,
quietly, without any of the contortions that
many emotional actresses so fondly love.
But Miss Lewis must study the use of her
somewhat robust voice before she can be
classed as an effective reader Of emotional
lines.
Martha was the bill presented by the
Andrews Opera company at the Lyceum last
night This most tuneful opera, the golden
mean between grand and comic opera. was
given an excellent rendition. All of the
principals were in excellent voice, and the
work of the chorus showed that it
had been thoroughly rehearsed. Miss Fritch
sang the role of Lady Harriet with taste and
expression. In action she was excellent.
Miss Florence Clayton handled the part of
Nancy cauably. JAY Taylor appeared to
better advantage as Lionel than in anything
he has been heard in. The same may be said
of George Andrews rendition of the part OF

FELL OUT OF A TREE.
An Iron Hand Closed Its Grip

before consciousness returned, and it
was months before got upon my feet
again. At the age Of thirty, there came
tunes when it seemed as if something
in dark waves was passing in Or around
my eyes. In few minutes ! would
have a violent headache, accompanied
by pains in the chest that felt as if an
iron hand closed its grip upon me.
The spells increased in violence and
frequency. and l began to have pains
in my side and the small of the back,
and became so nervous that / could not
bear to have PIN drop. Some physi-
clans said it was neuralgia, others
Bright'S disease, and still others rheu-
matish. But whatever it was they
could not help me, and in despair took
everything that offered hope. One day
/ noticed News writer recommended q
simple vegetable remedy.
Like a drowning man grasping at
straws, | tried it. But it was no straw :;
it was a life preserver. 1t took hold in
a new way, and today / truthfully and
gratefully affirm that l have not had a
pain in my chest for year. and not a
single binding spell of headache. This
restoration to health is due solely to
