A Close Shave

A slight alteration at the Two Broth

came near proving very serious, was the
cause for the arrest OF Alex Campbell, an
employe of Carter & Mullaly's and Rich

waiter wanted Campbell, who was said to
be slightly under the influence of liquor,
to remove his feet from he table, but the
wish, instead of being granted, brought
thinner slapped Campbell The latter
sprang to his feet and made vicious
slash at the German waiter with his
pocket knife, narrowly escaping ripping
him open. Officer Bowen grabbed Camp

The Starving English.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-Appalling &C
counts of restitution continue in the
east districtof Wolverhampton. The
charity officer reports that they are
I'm q state of starvation; that in some
instances it is actually dangerous to
administer food, owing to the peril at
tendant upon ravenous hunger when
food is first offered. A clergyman
says it is impossible to describe the
misery that prevails. Homes are
without food, rooms without furni-
ture; the women have only single
garment covering them, and the
children are almost as bad.

A ThEsPiC TREAT.
NJ arie Wainwright Delights
Large Audience at the Grand.

Marie Wainwright, with her dazzling
diamonds, beautiful smile, pearly teeth
and magnificent costumes, set in a pic
turesoue frame of new and beautiful
scenery, mostly copies from the masters,
was the treat afforded at the Grand
Opera house to crowded audience last
night. Added to this, her play, Shak-
speare's Twelfth Night" of rollicking
comedy, sparkling wit, tender sentiment
and heroic feudalism, and who can say
She is not success? Her company is of
the very best, and hard to beat. Her
portrayal of the part of Viola" was
Splendid. and her double, Sebastian"
by Edward Elsner, was made to speak,
look and act very like her. When the
lights were down it was hard to distin-
g1ish one from the other. "Olivia," the
melancholy Venetian maiden, was
well taken by Miss Blanche
Walsh, who is beautiful woman and a
finished actress. The merry domestic,
s'Maria," Louise Muldener, kept the audi
ence on the qui vive and grew popular
from her first appearance. +. Y. Backns,
as Jester, was quite correct, and Bar

His Financial Value.

The wreck on the Oregon Short Line in
which four Indians were killed, has
brought ont a queer story. illustrating the
money value of an Indian as calculated
by themselves. Mail Clerk Shinn tells it
in this wsy: A buck Indian had been
killed in a wreck and the chief went to
the claim agent OF the road to collect
damages. Having made known his bust
ness the agent asked, well, how much
do you want? What was he WORTH"
Him heap good Indian" anwered the
chief, heap foe horses, heap good squaw,
heap papooses-" Well. what are the
~damages?" broke in the agent. How
much money do you want2" Again the
chief repeated the good qualities of the
dead Indian ending up by saying:
HE heap damn good Indian, me want

girls and at the depot they we're the

sight of Roy Humm, Chief Anderson's
stenoRrapher, who was looking out Of an
upper window, went into ecstacies over
the pretty boy and insisted on taking
the sweet little fellow along with them.
Charlie Bon, who had his head out of

LURID STORY

Cheyenne has received a good deal OF
free advertising through Melbourne's rain
experiments here, but it was believed the
advertising would cease soon after the ex-
periments ended. This has not proven
the case, however. The enterprisiDg CHI
cage reporters a few days ago got hold Of
Senator Kabis and their accounts of the
interview did not allow the experiments to
lose anything either in magnifcence of
result or mystery Of its process. The
~enterprising reporter undoubtedly con-
tributed quite as much or more to the
story than did Senator Kabis himself, but
the yarn is none the less interesting. 1t
is as follows:
Il was present during Melbourne's ex
periments recently at Cheyenne" said he,
and the results were certainly startling.
Ex-Governor Baxter OF Wyoming, Perry
Organ, a large ranch owner. and Presi-
dent Gilchrist OF the Stockgrowers' Ma
tional bank, were also present during the
performance of the Ohio man. They
were skeptical when they came on the
grounds in the Cheyenne suburbs, from
where the rain producer was to try on his
communication with the clouds. The ex-
periments we're made from the loft OF a
barn out on an open space, 400 yards
from a farm house. There was a hearty
laugh from the people when Melbourne
came out OF the barn attired in nothing
but a pair OF trousers and a flannel shirt,
and said: Ladies and gentlemen-We
will have a shower at IL O'Clock This
Vas at 9 o'clock. and he added: You will
not laugh so hard at noon. You will be
wishing for umbrellas about that time
Melbourne then disappeared in the
barn and opened a little trap door he had
temporarily arranged in the roof. The
crowd looked at the clear sky and pro-
nounced Melbourne a fraud. At l0:45
there was not a cloud visible. and the
indications for rain we're as far of as ever.
The weather bureau for that district had
predicted continued fair weather. Slowly,
about ii o'clock, the clouds began to
creep up over the horizon. They came
from both the east and the west and met
directly above us. At 1905 it began to
drlzzle, and at 1890 the rain was coming
down steadily. At 2 O'Clock, or two
minutes before that hour, the rain had
ceased. the clouds had disappeared and
the sun was shining as brightly as it was
~ b y CiOCk. NlelUOurne catDe out, MS
face was flushed and his clothing was
~wringinR wet with pcrspiration. He said
to Ex-Governor Baxter: Governor, l
will give you another shower at 3 o'clock.
Melbourne disappeared and soon after
8 o'clock the clouds put in an appearance
the same as before and the rain began to
tall. 1t came down quite hard, and at 4
o'clock when it ceased there was mud and
little pools Of water in every direction. At
4:30 the sky was again clear as ever and
for a second time Melbourne put in an
appearance aud said: The next shower
will be at 6 O'clock
For heavens sake, call him off or he
will drown us out, said a man who had
witnessed the remarkable performance Of
the Ohio man.
Governor Baxter did call him of. He
informed Mr.. Melbourne hat he and his
associates were thoroughly satisfied with
the experiments"

lifting is not his only accomplishment.
He can bend a half inch bar of steel with
comparative ease, and break one of the
same size across his thigh.
AS an iron tawed man he displays his
ability by placing one end of a bar OF steel
two inches in circumference in his mouth
and bending the bar as IL it were an ordi.
nary lath. Skif also carries a pair of fists
with him that are built on the batterine
ram principle. Many men think it quite
wonderful to crack the panel of a door
with a single punch, but Skiff can easily
break a two inch board, 1t is said
