Entertainments.
 HYPERION fHxArKH.

sThe Charity Ball." produced at th,
 Hyperion last night, is distinguished by
 . freshness and delightful quality of it, humor, the interesting personality of its characters and the naturslness of most oi the action. The plot in brief is as fol. lows: A city rector living at home with 6 wayward brother and aged mother enter. tsins 8 handsome young girl, Phyllis Lee. The rector's brother, Dick Van Buren, fell in love with Phyllis and their relations were continued long while un- known to other parties In the meantime Van Buren bent on advancing himself in business proposed and became engaged to The action proceeds without Tagging till the injured and tormented girl, thrown over by Dick Van Buren, discovers herself to the noble-hearted rector. The scene that follows, enacted In the dimly-hghted ministerial study far on into the night, is of terrible strength and earnestness. The moans of the betrayed woman falling sickeningly upon the ear; the agony and shame of John Van Buren when he learns the disgrace of his family, and the affected lght-heartedness of the Sulpfit dll IoilOH Ill eNlIIsuCCe6SiOD. In the end the will and conscience of the young rector triumphs over cruelty and heartlessness, and the custain is rung down amid applause, with the wedding ring placed on the finger of the aban- doned girl. Boyd Putnam, as the rec tor, played & striking and effective part, although he did not manifest the scholarly and thoughtful interests which largely make up the life of a minister. Alice Elton supported the difficult role of Phyllis Lee with great intensity of feeling, and in the fourth act, after the death of her husband, she appeared so sweet and winsome that 1t seemed pity the rector had not been married to her instead of the homely Ann Cruger. Basil West, as Dick Van Buren, was rather characterless. The part of Mrs. DePayster, the suave, collected woman of society, of whom her intended husband makes the ridiculous mistake of thinking she has lost one limb, was taken by Ethel Greybrooke, 6 woman of beautiful face and figure. None of the minor characters were i'll done and the piece deserved even a more crowded house than was present to witness the per formance

DIED A.CURSING.


 A xyIfe-Murderer Shoots Himself
 Before Being Taken to the Scafold
 Blood Streams From Wounds in
 His Breast.
 KANSAS CITY, Sept. 4.-Louis Bulling, the St. Joseph wife-murderer, shot him self twice this afternoon shortly be- fore the time set for his execution at Sa- vannah, Mo-, and finally died on the gal lows covered with blood, shrieking for mercy and cursing his executioners. His spiritual adviser, Rev. August Lavake, is under arrest for furnishing him with the revolver with which he attempted suicide. Bulling had broken out of jail twice and effecting third escape were found in his cell. These were removed and he was closely watched. Then he sent his par ents twice to the governor to seek re- prieve, but they failed to get it. The hanging was set for 10 o'clock this morning, but the murderer pleaded pit eously that the sheriff postpone it un- til 9 D.. m: Again Bulling begged for and obtained the delay of an hour, and he was left alone with the priest. Suddenly two shots rang out. The sheriff ran to the cell. Bulling lay on the floor weltering in his blood which flowed from wounds in his breast. He had shot himself twice with revolver. The priest had tainted. A hasty examination of Bulling's body showed that one of the bullets had entered the left breast and glancing from a rib had passed around his body and come out of his back The other bullet had inflicted only slight flesh wound in his left side. He had not lost consciousness, and when the sheriff ordered four deputies to carry him to the scaffold he cursed and swore in horrible manner. The deputies dragged the struggling man to the court yard and lifted him on the gallows. He refused to stand and they placed him upon 8 chair. He was dressed ouly in his shirt and trou sers. His hands and face were covered | with blood. which also stained his shirt, streamed through his shoes and formed | dark pools on the floor of the scaffold. lie cursed and swore at his deputies, cried and screamed for mercy and shook with | terror. The sheriff gave him large glass of brandy and he swallowed it at one stand upon the drop. He refused, and four deputies held him up while the rope was being adjusted. The black cap was placed over his head, and cursing and blaspheming he shot through the opening exactly at s:s1 o'clock. His neck was broken by the fall and he died almost in stantly. Rev. MT. Lavake has been ar rested for giving Bulling the revolver, but declines to be interviewed. Bulling's cell was thoroughly searched last night and nc weapon was found. The only persons ad. mitted to the cell since then were a news Il paper man, the deputies and MT. Lsvake

Failure of an Attempt on the Over
 Shot.
 f SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-The Los An geles express was held up by two masked men a few miles south of Modesto at 8:45 o'clock last night. The robbers boarded the train at Ceres and compelled Neff, the engineer, and Wallace, the fireman, to ex- tinguish the headlight and fill the boiler with water They then made them get down and go to the express car and order it opened.
 Conductor Roche and brakeman named Fox were in the front car. They went out on the platform and looked out At sight of the conductors lantern one of the rob- ber's called out for them to go back, and fired shot at them. The conductor set his lantern back and fired two shots at the l robbers. He then went back into the car and found Leonard Harris of Los Angeles, | a detective, and another detective named Lawson, who chanced to be on the train. l Harris got out of the car and walked to- ward the robbers, who were near the ex- press car. When about two car lengths 1 from the express car Harris fired two shots from a revolver in their direction. The | robbers returned the hre, hrlng three snots, 1 all of which took effect, hitting Harris in the neck and over the left eye.
 l Meanwhile the robbers were compelling the engineer to hold a torch while the
 fireman worked at the door. They called
 several times to the express messenger
 and his assistants to open the door and come out, claiming that they would not
 hurt them, but they refused to open the
 door, A bomb was exploded against the
 deor, shattering the beams and making an
 opening large enough for them to enter
 through, but the shooting by Harris and
 also shots fired by the brakeman, Fox, evi.
 dently scared them of, as they left without

 tempted robbery reached Merced special

Makes the Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run down or weakened state of health derive from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves the claim that this medicine "makes the weak strong" It does not act like a astimulant, imparting fictitious strength from which there must follow reaction of greater weakness than before, but in the most natural way Hoods SarsapariIla overcomes that tired feel ing, creates an appetite, puriies the blood, and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental and dipestive strenpfh

The conductor placed them in a cab and sent
them TO the Alaska hotel-formerly the Globe
on Main street near Commercial, and J. T. Mar
tin, the proprietor, received them and paid the
cabman, though he was totally at sea regarding
their father. The eldest said that his father
name is Robert Lake and that he and their moth
er live at Gilman; thai they had been stopping
with "UEcle Ben" at Maple Valley. Beyond
this he was unable TO give any account of him
self and seemed to be confused, stating at one
time that his mother was in the asylum.
Their clothes were in q wretched state, and
their little bodies looked as though they had
never encountered such thing as water. Mr.
Martin had them bathed aud their clothes fixed
up, substituting some of his own child's cloth.
