HOW THE "CIGALE" DONKEY REFUSED TO BE
PHOTOGRAPHED.


HOW THE "CIGALE" DONKEY REFUSED TO BE
PHOTOGRAPHED.
The set OF photographs OF the Lillian Russell Opera
Company will always be incomplete. one OF the artists
refuses to have his picture taken at a regular pho
tOgraph establishment and II cannot be done unless
1t should be with detective camera The company
went 10 SarOnys in body yesterday morning to be
photographed Miss Attalie Claire wanted the donkey
that appears in the second act TO go too The donkey
was compliant and went. Those who have the
opera will remember that this donkey is named Biscuit
because is the next thing thorough bread. When
the party reached Saronys door he Indicated his In
tenton of going no further. He had understood that
the party wished his company for airing in Union
Square, and this seemed TO him reasonable, but now
he was asked to go up In elevator, and it seemed
more than his friends had right to expect OF him.
Biscuit Is a strong conkey. One night he remem-
appointment and lett the stage before MS
QUE and there not enough about the theatre
to restrain him He is in general tractable, but he
will not break promise that he has made 10 another
or TO himself This time he had promised himself that
he would not go up In that elevator. Some hay
brought to move him, but he not moved. A
potato carrot and beet were tried, but Biscuit
not tempted beat tried. but the donkey not
constrained. A rope found and placed
around him, while strong pulled thereat. They
were not strong enough, or they did not pull hard
enough. Biscuit did not suffer his foot TO be moved
The second low comedian had insplraton-some-
thing quite unexpected He said that there were GER
tain baking powders that were better for raising biscuits
than elevators. But Charlotte the thrifty ant of La
Cigale,' nOtSo thrifty TO have any baking pow
der in her pocket Every one else discaimed the habit
Of carrying It, and the last hope vanished 1t is said
that portrait painter will be put into Of the boxes
at the Garden Theatre, will try to get the donkeyS
picture without his knowledge.

Recent cable dispatches based only the sayings

two or three rumors renrd TO Milan, the King Of

Persia an intelligent and enlightened sovereign, had
appointed rs commander OF the Persian cavalry the
effeminate Milan, who hardly Showed his face on the
battlefield of SlivnitZa where he was SO thoroughly
beaten by Battenbergs Bulgarians. 1t was also dur
ing that caamtous period of Servian history, in 1885,
that Queen Natalie devoted herself like real sister OF
charity TO the care OF the wounded soldiers on whom
she attended personally in the Belgrade hospital.
The report that Milan could reOccupy his throne
in of the death of his young Alexander cannot
have the feast foundation. European Powers and the
people of serva would oppose any attempt in that
line They know that ex-King Milan no longer

tables at which he has lost millions OF money well
as the little respectabity which still belonged to him.
