Miss Anna O'Keefe, who, although her
stage life has been short, is one of the
most promising and beautiful singers on
the comic-opera stage, was born in New
York city about twenty-three years ago.
Her father, an Irishman by birth, served
through the Civil War, and at its close
was Lieutenant Colonel of the Fifteenth
New York Regiment of Volunteers. 1t
was only upon his death that she decided
to take up the stage as a profession, for
she was an only child, and she wished her
widowed mother, who is her constant
companion, to enjoy the slight luxuries
she had been accustomed to before the
bread-winner of the family died.
SO she applied to the Aronsons, but
there was no vacancy in any of the Casino
companies. Two weeks later Mr.. Rudolph
Aronson offered her a position in the
chorus of one OF the travelling companies,
and the understudy of Cerise in "Er-
minie."
For four months she continued in the
chorus, then rose to small parts, getting
one at last in "The Brigands" at the
Casino. Miss Russell, the Fiorella, broke
down, and Miss O'Keefe played the part,
with great credit to herself, after four
hours study, for ten days, taking the
role again when Miss Russell went on her
summer vacation. She also played the
part OF Fragoletto in the same piece, when
Miss Fanny took her holiday. When De
Wolf Hopper formed his company she
joined it,, playing the role of Victorine in
"Castles in the Air" and when Miss
Manola left the company in a huff, she
took the prima donna's part. She is at
present playing Gillette in Wang" and
has sometimes to take the part of Marie
when Miss st. Henry, the prima donna, is

Leap Year.

He IA rich and he is handsome
And he loves n single life.
Though oft he's sorely been besot,
He's still escaped a wife;
So he's made one resolution,
That's to take himself away
To where they know no leap year,
To the wilds OF Africa.

The Offer.

The News proposes 10 send at its own
cost representative Rhode Island work
ingman to Great Britain TO report upon
the condition of workingmen there. 1t
will pay all his expenses and furnish him
with guide books and all necessary infor-
nation and assistance in laying out his
route. 1t will also pay full day wages
for every day of his absence either to him
or to his family. He will start some time
In May and will have time enough TO do a
great deal of sightseeing besides investiga-
ting huts and houels and tenements.
Thus, if man has a family, its support
will be amply provided for while he is
gone, and the wife can put tidy sum in
the savings bank every week besides, as
expenses will of course be less with the
husband away. IL he is single he can save
every cent of his wages for the entire dur
alton of the trip.

The Defalcation In Buffalo's Savings
Bank Fully 100000.
BUFFALO, N. Y, July 5.-Startling figures
came to light this morning concerning the
National Savings Bank defalcation. Only
about half of the pass books have been ex-
amined and the defalcation figures up to
the surprising amount Of s426,636. These
are exact figures 30 far as the investigation
has gone. This revelation was made this
morning in the supreme court before Judge
Hamilton Ward, when Deputy Attorney
General Hogan made application for the
appointment Of q temporary receiver for
the bank. Afterward Chief Exam-
iner Judsou said: ~ believe the
total amount of the defalcation
will reach S5O0,O00 Fewer discoveries will
be made from this time on of course, as
most of the large accounts have been exam
ined, but half of the pass books have not
been examined and feel perfectly safe in
saying that believe the total defalcation
will be $780, ,000."
The official statement of the bank exam
iners shows total liza a5ilities of $1,2S0 .S45; /;
assets OF 81 900, ,344, and deficit of $3.50, 500
Ex-Treasurer Damn has thus far turned in
money and property amounting to $50, 900.
Damn and Bookkeeper Armstrong spent
their Fourth Of July in jail and still remain
there.

NEGROES UP IN ARMS.
Seven Hundred Around the jail at
Jacksonville to Protect q Murderer.

Seven Hundred Around the Jail at
Jacksonville to Protect Murderer.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 5.-Nearly
700 negroes are under arms tonight de-
ployed In squads from ten TO twenty. and
all within two blocks OF the Duval county
Jail In this city They claim that threat
was made by the whites about lynching the
negro Ben Reed for the murder of
Frank Burrows yesterday .atternoon. No
attempt at lynching has yet been made,
however, and this is wholly unwarranted.
Gov. Fleming late last night issued orders
to Adjt. Gen. Lang for the two infantry
and one artillery companies In this city to
hold themselves in readiness for duty to-
day. The companies assembled at their
armories at midnight and remained there
until daybreak.
GATHERING OF THE NEGROES.
At sunset crowd of negroes began TO
gather about the jail and in its neighbor-
hood, and by O'clock there were fully 500
Of them in tho vicinity. Their leaders learn
ing that the military had been ordersd
out sent a committee TO confer with
Capt. Turner of the Wilson battery, in
command of three batteries. The co nmit-
tee was assured that the soldiers intended no
harm to the negroes, but they were ordered
to protect the jail and disperse all mobs.
When the committee returned to the mob
with this advice the mob refused to listen
to them, and still large numbers of them
congregated In the streets about the Jail.
THE MILITARY AT THE JAIL.
Just before 10 O'Clock three companies,
Wilson battery with q gatling gun and
twenty-five men and the Metropolitan Light
Infantry aud Jacksonville Light Infantry.
with about fifty men each, all under CONS
mand of Capt. Turner of the battery,
marched to the jail. The negroes did not
interfere with them. The gatling gun was
planted within ten feet OF the jail door
and manned The three companies
were drawn up at company front just south
| of It, The negroes are still scattered all
about the neighborhood in small squads,
| but in such q manner that they could hardly
be called a mob. At q signal, however.
| fully 700 Of them, all armed, could
be brought together. They are not
drinking and talk very reasonable,
but matters are at very high gtension and
the slightest thing may cause trouble. At
midnight everything is quiet and no trouble
is anticipated before morning. If cool
counsel ID needed tomorrow the negroes
can probably be prevented from assembling
again about the Jail.
