An Amusing Scene at the Grand Opera
House IN Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Times.
Ouite an amusing scene touk place at the
Grand Opera House last night. 1t was just
before o'clOca and the foyer was crowded
with the swell society people Of the city,
when a well-dressed gentleman wa ked
boldly to the door with a stylshly dressed
girl on his arm. The young lady was smil-
ing sWeetly on her escort, and just as they
were about to enter the door a mlddle-aged
woman Jumped out Of a dark corner and
boldly placed her hand on the Well-dressed
mans arm, Just as he was passing his
coupons for seats in the dress circle to the
tic6et-tdkeT. The man turned on the
woman in an angry manner, but as soon as
his eyes 1eSted on the v0man's face he
seemed to turn pale from his head TO his
ready 20 fly from the house, but before he
could make up bis mind the woman who
had him by the arm calculated:
50, We miserable wretch, this Is the way
ye treat yer poor wife and children" and
from the folds of the WOmau's dress two
youngsters came forth aid began to cry,
while a three-month- old baby that she held
in her arms set uD howl that could be
heard a block away.
My God" whispered the man, 'this
won't do. Here, dear" to the woman and
three babies, III get you ticket and you
can 90 with US"
And pray where did you get the money
to buy so many tickets?" screamed ,the
woman. No you won't get any more
tic kets. You Will 60 home with your wife
and babies, so come along" And before he
could make any resistance she marched him
out Of the house.
The poor girl, who had edged her wav in
side the door while the quarrel was going
on, seemed undec ded what 10 do when she
saw her escort marched of. but she is evil

marched in the theater and seemed to enjoy

A JEALOUS LION.
The Animal Brutally Kills the Bride of
Its Master.
silver City N. Mex Special.

SILVER City N. Mex Special
a peculiar story Of the Jealousy Of a pet
lion for the bride Of its master comes from
a ranch in the northeastern part Of this
county 4 few years ago Juan L0beZ, a
young Mexican caught and tanned a cub
lion The animal was 50 dCcile that it fol-
lowed Lopez all about the place and on his
hunting expeditions, and slept at the foot
Of its masters bed. The animal had never
shown any viciOusness toward strangers,
allowing visitors TO pet and fOndle it at all
times,
Not long ago Lopez married and brought
his wife 10 the house. SIZE was afraid Of
the lion and insisted that it be kept out Of
doors Lopez theTeup0n built a house for
his strange pet but the lion showed a dispO-
sltiOn to rebel when sent to his new
home and received a whipping in con-
sequence. All night long the lions growlS
were heard by Lopez and his wife The
following day the animal SUNK into the
house, but was sulen and kept his eyes con
stantly upon the wife Of its master. Mrs.
Lopez became 50 nervous that she prevailed
upon her husband to sell the brute which
he promised to do the first time be went TO
town. A few days later Lopez proceeded
to town to carry out his promise.
When he returned late at night he found
his home dark and apparently untenanted.
Cropping his way indoors, he stumbled and
fell upon something, and upon striking a
light was Mortified TO find the bleeding and
torn body of his wife lying on the floor
The lion had evidently jumped upon the
woman when her back was turned and
broke her neck, afteTward eating part OF the
breast and tearing her limbs from her body.
The animal then escaped 10 the woods and
has not been seen since. LopcZ's reason
gave way aud he is now a raving maniac.

FITS CURED BY MATCHES.
How Boston Deg Was Entirely Relieved

Dash Rice" is an ancient liver-and- white
pointer, the pet and friend of the house
hold. Age and lack Of exercise with a too
liberal diet have given him n tendency to
daily fits. So regular is this habit that cali
ers frequently ask him: "Well, Dash, have
Won had your fit to-day?" If he has he an

A wear or more ago he indicated a fancy
fer wooden t0OthDicks, and at meal time
would hang about the table until he re-
ceiYed one. Some one, for fun, once gave
him a burnt match for a tOOthpick, and he
accepted it grari0usly A little later an un-
burnt match was substituted, and this he

faction. II was so funny to see a dog eat
matches that it soon became the custom for
Dash TO have one after every meal, ana now
he insists on his supply If 1t is not forth
coming, lie sits by the stand where the
matches are kept, and patiently points
until he is attended to. III too long ne
elected he puts up his paw, 0yeTturnS the
MATCHBOX and helps himself But he never
takes but one, and never asks for it except
after meals.
The strangest part Of his history is, how
ever. that his self-concelved prescription of
sulphur aud phosphorus has entirely cured
him Of his daily fits, aud he has not had one
for many weeks.
His master is physician, and it is ques-
ton for those who are interested in animal
psychology to consider how Dash evolved
so successful cOufse of treatment from his
doggish consciousness and his medical en-
YlTOnment.

WHERE THE COWBOY RODE.
A Vision of Old Times in the Now staid
Town OF Abilene.

Town OF Abilene.
Thousand Of cattle pass In grand review
before a person at the mention OF Abilene
but the wild cowboy, with lariat, whip and
pistol. has driven them on and on, until they
are all gone away and only the shadows of
a lively past are left in molderng bones
and skulls.
The Kansas City Star says: In 1871 there
were 6OO,0O0 cattle in Abilene. In the old
town south of the Union Pacific track there
are few tumble-dOwn buildings. They are
the remains of what the cowboy and those
who had to live with him called hOme-Old
Abilene.
There is doubtless enough lead buried in
these frame structures to mold a statue to

DELUGED WITH RED INK.
a Jealous COlOrod Woman Paints

a Jealous CoIored Woman Paints a
Pretty QuadroOn.
The spectacle Of an elderly colored woman
cOwhidug a young and pretty quadroon,
and finishing the operation by deluging her
with red ink, was seen at a late hour on
Tuesday night on Halsey street. near Cen
trail avenue, Brooklyn. When the victim
had finally made her escape from the
clutches of her assaiant the latter told the
crowd that had gathered this story:
John II. Wilkinson is SO years of age, col
OTed, and the jaHltor OF some flats on Hal
sew street not lar from the scene of the
affair alluded TO. He lives with his wife,
who was the woman with the cOWhide, at
683 Central avenue. The couple have nine
children, all of whom, with but one excep-
tiOn, are married.
On Covert street, and in the service of a
private family, lives Ellen McHenry. She
is tall and 1.-THE, and if it was not for the
purple OF her hngeT nails and lust a slight
fullness OF her lips people would never sus-
ppct that she had a trace OF black blood in
her veins. Some six weeks since Mrs
Wilkinson received 4 postal card which
asked her at what date her husband would
become a wid0wer. The writer Of this un-
kind query explained him or herself by
alleging that John has already made ar
Taugements to wed Ellen when Mrs Will
kinson herself had turned up her toes to
the daisies.
The good lady became jealous an inquisi-
tive, and III two or three days she learned
that Ellen was in the habit of meeting her
elderly admirer. Tuesday night about II
o'clock John and the girl returned from the
gay and glittering halls of pleasure in the
neighbOrhood Of Sixth avenue. New York,
and were parting at the door of the Halsey-
street fiat when his high hat went spinning
into the gutter. At the same time terrible
voice yelled

The voice was the voice of Mrs Wilkin-
son. and the arm was hers also. John fled
forthwith, and diving into the recesses of
the basement lett Ellen to her fate. This
was a pretty hard one. Mrs. Wilkinson
drew a stout leather thong and began to
thrash the girl numerically. Ellen took
refuge at the door of 4 store and cruuching
down pleaded for mercy. Mrs. Wilkinson
then gave her sound tongue lashing, and
after telling the crowd that had assembled
the reason of her action produced big
bottle of red ink. With this she deluged
the terrified girl from head TO foot, and with
final black husSy," strobe away triumph
antly.
Some people assisted the girl home, and it
is said that John has purchased forgiveness
at the price OF much humillatiUn.-N. Y.

A YOUNG FIEND.
\ PixIey Boy Who Is Entering Early Upon
a Career Of Crime.
EIsalfa Delra

Career Of Crime.
Hlsalia Delta.
An eight-year-Old lad in PiXley has com
menced a career Of crime that if not checked
Will eventually land him in the State Peni-
Tertiary. His criminal penchant is wreck
ing trains. Recently he made an attempt to
throw the uorth-bound train, due at Pixley
at 4 oclock, from the track He placed
piece OF redwood and a two-inch plank,
both about three feet long, on the
switch about a half mile north Of
the depot. After carefully putting the
material on the rails the young lad
waited on the west side OF the track to see
the result Of his deVIlish work. Luckily the
train stopped at the depot to let passenger
get on, and did not get under good Roadway
until after the switch was passed. and the
obstruction did not do any damage. If the
train had passed through PIXley without
stopping the distractions on the track would
undoubtedly have caused a fearful accident
in which lives might have been lost by the
work Of young lad. On the following day
The boy left town, but he was brought back
and held TO await orders from the Sberffs
Office.
The hoy attempted to wreck the same
train two weeks before, by placing two
bolts across the rails He was asked his
reasons Tor trying to wreck the trains. but
would not give them, other than that he
knew the engineer and firemen, giving their
names, and wanted 70 kill them.
The lad IS wholly incoTrigible, and he
should be placed in the reform school. He
has stolen two watches and other goods. as
well as s. in cash.
