FOOTLIGHT FLASHES.

Philip Francis French, who nearly
half a century ago opened Castle Gar
den as a theater, died recently, aged
eichtv-four. He might have seen Pres
ident jefferson, and no doubt heard the
news of the burning of Washington in
1914. He was smart chunk of boy
before Maine, Mississippi, Florida, Lou
isiana. Alabama or Arkansas were adj
mitted TO the Union, while OF all the
Western States, Ohio was the only one
admitted. During his lifetime more than
5000 theatres have been erected, most
of them in places that were a bowling
wilderness when Castle Garden was
opened. and during that time the in
come from theatrical business has
grown from almost nothing TO over
sixty millions of dollars yearly.
The uselessness of going to England
for actors is well illustrated by the com.
pany supporting Mrs. Leslie Carter. !,
took two trips across the ocean for Mr..
F. d. Price to discover Arthur Darce
Ian Robertson and Mervyn Dallas
three of the woOdeneSt sticks that ever
landed in America. Walking up Broad
way any sunny day he could have en-
gagged hundred American actors, who
would have played their parts better
Darce is guaranteed $1,000 month fol
the season. Robertson was to get SlOI
a week, and Dallas $50. In spite of al
the fuss Mr.. Price raised about the hon
or of those who break their contract
he has worked the two weeks notice
racket on Robertson and Dallas. and
these two find themselves, after trusting
to the ''honor" of Price, in strange
land without employment.

ATLIBERTY AT LAST
AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING, DAYS AND
NIGHTS OF PAIN
Relief Comes as Refreshing Shower-The
Effect Of Years Of Study and
Experience.

What is worse than the thought OF being
buried alive or being consigned to a living
death, by the affection of disease, 1t is not
necessary, however, to state that we do not
value the fortune OF good health. How
many men have have sand, my thousands
for an hour of life Yet it can be bought
for such trifie if the opportunity is grasped
at the right time. Do not wait until your
disease has gone so far that you are
wretched and do not feel like living, when
this bright world appears to you as living
tomb, and if you could only die and end
your terrible suffering. Take advantage
of the advancement made in the present
century in the practice of medicine and be
cured Of the terrible feeling you now have.
To make our views little plain, let US
state to you the condition of a resident of
our city after being silent sufferer for
over three years.

| little town in Western New York, said
John Gilbert, the travelling groceryman.
There were five of us in the game.
One was Colonel Bolton, of the b. ~ o.
Railroad, and one was the good Deacon
Rogers, of the Duplex Salt Company.
We had played several hands without
ANYTHING exciting having occurred, and
it came to the Deacon to deal. 1t was
the Colonels ante. | didn't get any
kind of hand but Clipped in with the
Colonel. The player who sat next to
me came in, and the next man TO him
didn't stay. The Deacon raised the
ante five. The Colonel saw him and
stayed | had no further business with
the pot, and dropped out.
"How many cards, Colonel?" said the
Deacon, smiling blandly, and ready TO
count off the cards.
Don't want any, said the Colonel.
THAT sou said the Deacon, still
smiling, as he laid down the pack.
Sorry for you. don't want any either
i Your bet.
"'The Colonel bet five, the limit. The
Deacon saw him and raised him five.
The Colonel stood the raise and went
five better. The Deacon, still smiling,
came TO the front and raised the Colonel
five more.
Hadn't better go any further, Col
onel,' said the Deacon. Eve got you

Never you mind me- said the Col
onel. When | get through with you

The Deacon smilingly came in and
raised tho Golonel's bet five. And so il
went OH until it took the Deacon's last
five chips to raise the Colonel. The Col
onel had just five left.
"'It's a colossal shame to have to call
on such hand as I've got, said he; but
what's the use? | call you Deacon.
What you got?'
Straight said the Deacon, his
smile broadening.

ser That Made Her Jump.
Today in the Police Court the case Of Oscar
Boesser, the butcher, charged with destroying
private property and assault ms heretofore
mentioned in The STAR, was dismissed because
Mrs Maria Fitzpatrick. at whose house the
affair occurred, did not desire to prosecute.
Policeman Dean was asked 10 state why he
swore out the warrant and he told Of the COM
plant that had been made. That was that
Boesser had broken open the door and Mrs.
Fitzpatrick. he said. told him that the defend
ant ran her up stairs and she jumped out the
window and broke her leg.
In her letter to the prosecuting attorney Mrs
Fitzpatrick said: Il beg leave 60 say have no
charge TO make against ir. Boesser and with
my consent will never appear against him. The
facts are that he had been drinking aud had
been In and about my house several times the
Sunday OF the occurrence and returned about
$50 O'Clock, while l had six visitors at my
house, and out Of mischief didn't let him in
He then pushed against the door and il gave
way. L then in froiic ran upstairs and under
some strange impulse jumped out Of the win
dow. Mr.. Boesser did not attempt to follow
me upstairs, nor did he touch or speak TO me. !"
The name of Patrick Lynch appeared as q
witness TO the letter
Judge Miller referred TO Mrs Fitzpatrick's
statement and told the officer that the next
time there WAS trouble and she wanted ANYTHING
done she had better come down and get her
own warrant.
The officer said he had been called there
twice before that time.
The charges against Mr.. Boesser were nolle
pressed and the judge remarked that IL Mrs
Fitzpatrick did not want protection she could
not get it.

with Miss Smithey, a Lady who had iast arrived
in China When near the walled city of Quen-
san they anchored for the night, and had Just
retired TO rest when an attack WAS made on
their boat by number Of pirates, who over
powered the boatmen and demanded money
They ransacked the boat comI letely, breaking
open the ladies trunks and selling everything
Of value they contained.
A bracelet was forcibly taken of one lady's
arm. ring from the finger OF another. The
robbers took AWAY all the hairpins of the ladies
(these articles being usually Of great intrinsic
value in a Chinese ladys dres-l, and then ran
their fingers through the ladies' hair 90 zee IL
yaluables were concealed. They Investigated
their stockings with a similar object livery

they thought Of 10 value to them they smashed

WAR SHIPS FOR chilli,
Admiral Laperre Talks About His Present
Mission to Europe.

Mission to Europe.
Admiral Laperre Of the Gillian navy, who is
noted as the capturer of the Peruvian ironclad
Huascar in the war between Chill and Peru
has been sent by President Balmaceda Of Chill
to Europe to supervise the building Of war
ships for that country. In an interview yester-
day in Paris Admiral Laperre denied that the
Chilian navy had been unfairly treated, as COM
pared with the army, in the distribution of Pc
ruvian war honors. There was no animosity
he said. between the army and navy. The two
bodies hardly ever met and there was small
chance of feeling of jealousy existing between

should head the revolution in Chill, except
that the chivalrous notions of the officers might
make them the readiest to respond TO an APP
must have acted on q generous impulse. Being far
from the immediate center OF affairs they must
have been carried astray more by sentiment
than by any real knowledge of the situation.
Admiral LAgerre further said that il the
army joined the movement the end of the
revolution would be only a matter of a few
days. He thought that conflict between the
army and navy was entirely improbable. The
navy, he said, could not easily blockade the
whole coast, owing to its great extent while
the admiral Of the British feet would eventu-
ally object to any blockade by calling the at
tention Of the commander Of the blockadinx
feet to the fact that he must not interfere with
the commerce Of mutual powers. The conflict
between President Balmaceda and the CHILEAN
congress, said Admiral Laperre, might have
arisen from suspicion that the president was
trying to influence the public mind and to an
intrigue in other ways in favor of the man
whom he wishes to succeed him in the presi-
dency.
President Balmaceda il also accused of hay
ing broken his promise TO effect certain muni-
cipd reforms. An additional cause Of irrita-
ton was his action in dissolving the special
session Of congress. Public feeling in Chill APP
pears to have been much excited by the conflict
between the president and congress. Admiral
Laperre believes that the revolution will be
speedily settled. He 10 Of the opinion that
