DEATH ON THE TRAPEZE.
Tho Tragic Fate of Thomas HanI.


Tho Tragic Fate of Thomas HanIon
Twenty-Five Years Ago.
The tragic fate of William Hanlon, the
acrobat with Forepaugh's Circus, recalls
the similar sad fate of another Hanlon in
in this city about 1868. The Hanlons were
performing at Pixies Opera House, the
beautiful and fashionable temple of amuse-
ment which was destroyed by fire on March
%, 1886.
Thomas Hanlon, most daring acrobat,
while engaged in his act fell from the ira
peZe to the stage, distance of about thirty
feet. He fell on his head aud was picked
up lnsensible. He did not die, for worse
late was in store for him. He went insane,
and was confined in an asylum. One morn
ing he was found dying. The unhappy man
had battered out his brains by jumping up
and down on the floor with his head down.
Thomas Hanlon was brother of the IA
nous HanlOns. who are the proprietOrs OF
spectacular performances. The name of
this trio was not Hanlon, but they were APP
prentices to an English athlete of that name.
and they assumed his name when they went
on the stage. The Hanlons with Fore
paugh,s Circus are in no way related to the
other Hanlon brothers, and they are also
performing under an assumed name.
1hey are much younger men than the
original Hanl0n brothers. One'of them, in
fact the same one who was killed in the &C
cident. was badly injured not many months
ago. Their act was most daring one, but
lost much of its thrilling character from the
TACT that net was always used over the
ring.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

AT THE WRONG PORT.
The American Schooner Ellen Seized U
der an Obsolete Jaw

The American Schooner Ellen Seized I'm
der an Obsolete Daw.
The twelve-tOn schooner Ellen, which ar
rived here Wednesday from Mexico with
nine tons OF copper orc. consigned to Schacf t.,
Lempke IL Steiner, en- route to Swansea.
Wales, was seized by the Collector imme-
diateiy, upon the strength of a dispatch
from the Treasury Department
The seizure was made upon the showing
that the schooner had violated Section
3095. Revised Statutes which provides thai
all vessels of less than thirty tons burden,
plying between the United States and
foreign countries contiguous to this country,
shall have entry at the port lying nearest
the country whence they come. All others
are liable to seizure and forfeiture. For
instance, had the Ellen put in ut San Diego
she and her cargo would have been secure,
but she passed the only port she could
rightfully enter to come to San Francisco.
The law is said to have been passed in 1890
to fit conditions no longer prevailing and
not now understood.
The master and consigneeS hope to secure
the release of the vessel and cargo by show
ing that The ore was en- route to another
foreign country. The vessel is American.
the owners are Americans and the contisca,
ton is made by America, because the
wrong port had been entered.

We have just completed invoicing.
The result is very gratifying to us. Not
so much for its money item value as the
fact that the year just closed has made
for us thousands of customers, showing
an increase far beyond our most sangu'
inc expectations. We feel grateful to-
ward every patron for the part they
have taken in supporting our honest
and successful battle against high prices.
At various times would-be competitors
have tried to miSlead the public by as
serting that we could not possibly sci
goods at the prices we advertise. This
persistent display of jealousy on their
part has materially strengthened us,
and while we appreciate the result of
their conduct. we cannot but pity the
spirit that prompts such methods. We
fear no competition. We are not afraid
to advertise prices and the reputation
of our house is a sufficient guarantee
that you will find every article we sell
to be just what we say it is, and at just
the price we advertise. Victory always
inspires confidence We therefore en-
ter the promising year of 1891 with re-
newed vigor with determination to
beat our record of 1890.
