SHOT OUT THE LIGHTS.
An Incident Illustrating the Dramatic
Taste of the Texas Cowboy.


Taste of the Texas Cowboy.
"The smallest and most unap-
preciative audience / ever saw" said
Mr.. Tagliapietra, the barytone, twas
in Marshall, Tex, fourteen or fifteen
years ago. 1t consisted solely Of
twelve cowboys, and they stayed in
the house just two minutes. At the
end of that time they showed their
want of approval by shooting out
the footlights and leaving the hall.
The stage was rude platform at
one end, raised on horses, SO that one
could see clear under it. Not more
than four or five people could go on
at once, but we had to have the $500,
and l decided to give the show. l
asked Major Cumming, the manager,
if he had any scenery, and he replied
with great dignity that he most GER
tainly had. When we came around
at night was dumfounded by dis
covering that the scenery consisted
of common sheets tackled up at the
rear and sides of the stage. There
was no curtain, and dozen kerosene
oil lamps served as footlights. There
was no use kicking, SO we got ready
to produce "La Favorita" under these
conditions.
There was not soul in the house
when we commenced, but we were told
the audience was across the street
getting drink and would come over
after we got to work. In a few min
utes they came-twelve tall, lank-
looking cowboys with their trousers
in their boots, broad sombreros,
clanlsing spurs, pistols in their belts
and lantern in the right hand of
each man-stalked noisily in and sat
down on the frame benches. Poor
Litta, who was on the stage, nearly
tainted, so | fastened on the first
chorus and rushed as many people on
the stage as we could. The rest stood
around on the floor. The cowboys
listened patiently until they could
make themselves heard, when the
leader sang out:
"Say, Muncher, amt there nothin'
spectakler in this show?'
81 replied very deferentially that
we were welded to music, and that
Tagliapietra's Grand Italian Opera
Company was not given to tights. A
look of great disgust spread over the
leaders, face as he said:
Thunder! Boys, let's mosey,'
and, drawing out his pistol, shot out
the lamp nearest him without splitting
drop of oil. Each man followed
suit until the lights were all extin-
guished; then they gravely picked up
their lanters, and courteously invited
us all over to take drink. They
stalked out as gravely and silently as
they came in.'-Chicago Press.

The Old Army Field Hat.

There is a movement in regular
army circles for the restoration OF the
old army "field hat" which was
superseded by the helmet, of which
many officials have complained. The
old-style hat was picturesque, COM
Portable and serviceable, while the
helmet is top-heavy and does not
give proper ventilation.

The Colorado Cannibal Anxious to breathe
Free Air.
Alfred Parker, the man. eater, the man
who killed an | devoured his compan-
ions and who took del ght in telling the
horrible story, has applied for a release
from the penitentIary at Canyon City,
Colo. Parker without doubt is the most
fiendish AMI ghoulish man who ever es-
capped the han3man's moose. His record
is n gruesome one. In his time il is
known that he has Killed and eaten five
men.
In January, 1874, AL Parker in COM
pany with five others left Dry Greek,
San Juan County, for the Los Pinos
Agency, and in March OF the same year
he appeared at his destination, Wild
eyed, haggard and alone. He told con-
ficting stories about his companions,
finally stating that they had died on the
trip. Parker left Bingham, Utah. in the
fall of 1873. Winter found his party of
twenty-one showed ~ at Dry Creek
with Chief Ouray, the famous Uncom-
pahgre Ute. After camping with the
Indian few weeks he proposed that q
few of them push on TO the agency.
In company with Swan, Miller, Bell.

blankets, cooking utensils and a gun,
and with horse started over the range
In the coolest part OF the winter. Food
was scarce, and soon the horse was
turned loose to die. Three days later
the provisions gave out and the party
became desperate. 1t was bitterly cold
and the snow fell fast. The men took
turns breaking the trail. those follow
ing carrying the camp utensils. Starv-
ing, the men chewed their moccasins, and
cut up their blankets 10 serve as shoes.
When the matches gave out fire was car
rie1 in coffee pot by Swan, who was old
and feeble Sometimes the men found
frozen rosebuds and leaves and ate
them ravenously. Swan gave out when
near the top of tho Continental divide,
and then the devilish work began. Sew
eral stories are told, but the one most
generally believed is that each agreed
to climb the mountain and look for
signs Of the agency, leaving Swan in
camp in q clump Of trees. When they
left, Parker returned and struck the old
man blow on tho head with Ratchet
and killed the others as they came in.
Bell, it seems, was bent on murder,
and had about made up his mind that
some one had to die to save the
others. He returned TO camp and Par
ker assaulted him. A fight took place
and Bell succunfbed All that winter
Parker, ghoulish-like, remained with
the dead and subsisted on the choice
cuts from their bodies.
The tale is fearful one. He was ar
rested at the agency, but escaped and
was not again captured until 1888, in
Cheyenne. In 1856 he was sentenced
on five counts to eight years each, each
sentence to commence when the other
expired. He is an x-Union soldier.

Ever since the time when two she
bears ate forty-two little Israelites
for making fun of the prophet Elisha,
public sympathy has been on the side
of the little street Arabs, who roam
about and are forced to look out for
themselves. How many Of them die
like poor Joe in "Bleak House"-be-
fore they have had half chance.
Most Of them are swept away by
pulmonary disease. Consumption
drags them down to death by thou

Victims of Bogus Lottery Tickets In This
Country and Canada.
According to the statements Of Chi
cago detectives who have been engaged
for over four months in hunting the
manufacturers OF counterfeit lottery
tickets, stupendous scheme for de-
frauding lottery ticket purchasers has
been discovered. In every city, town
and village in Canada, Michigan, Indi-
ana, Illinois and the Northwest the
members Of a gang have operated their
clever swindle for about a year and
have come out of the game heavy win
ners. In all OF these places persons
live who think themselves born under a
constellation OF lucky stars and several
comets, and at every change OF the
moon they have made investments In
lottery tickets. 1t was TO accommodate
these persons that the men who are
claimed to constitute an unlawful gang
have been working. But the tickets
they sold were for drawings that never
took place.
The end Of the business came when a
plant for the manufacture Of lottery
tickets was discovered at 2S1 and 2S3
Clark street, and Jacob b. Stanger, tho
proprietor, was arrested and charged
WIFI iOTReIN. lHO Is Ule outcome
OF the WORK of four months by the de-
tectives, who took up the case after w.
L. Henderson, OF Baltimore, attorney
for the Louisina Lottery company, had
done some work in the hope of detect
ing the defrauders. 1t is believed by
officers OF the Louisiana company the
first.issue OF counterfeit tickets was made
year ago, and since then and up to
the issue OF August last the northern
tier OF States, the West, and Canada
have been flooded with these tickets.
The market having been kept well sup
piled, their sale at ST each has netted
the counterfeiters neat sum.
The men interested in this scheme
have not confined their talents to the
Louisiana company, but have issued
tickets, it is claimed, on q number Of
companies that do not exist. The de-
tectives confiscated at the Stanger shop
q fine photographic press, about 10000
Mantanza tickets, December issue; 49,
000 Vera Cruz tickets OF December and
January issue, several large sheets OF
Louisiana tickets without the numbers
and twenty engraving stones and sew
eral numbering machines. The plant is
valued at SIS, 900. The Vera Cruz tickets
were sold largely in the northwestern
part of Chicago, the Mantanza tickets
over bars in the country towns Of Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, while
the Louisiana tickets went into Canada,
Michigan, Illinois, and the Northwest.

COUNT NEW SENATORS.
Democratic Claims to Nebraska, Kansas
and North Dakota Vigorously Disputed.


and North Dakota vigorously Disputed.
The Republican Senatorial caucus met
in Washington and further discussed
the programme 10 be followed by the
party in regard TO the prospective SEN
atorial contests in several OF the West
ern States. A resolution offered by
Senator Hawley Conn was adopted
authorizing the chairman Senator Sher-
MANI 10 appoint committee Of five
Senators to take into consideration the
wisdom and propriety OF senatorial in
reference in these contests.
The consensus OF opinion expressed
was that while the Senators did not de-
sire nor intend to interfere with the
States in carrying out the will Of the
people, it was the duty OF the Republic
can Senators TO resent strenuously the
assertions OF the Demo rats, who are
now, as they charge, trying to pervert
public sentiment.
1t was shown to the satisfaction OF
the caucus, so a dispatch says, that the
Democratic steering committee" had
no ground upon which to stand when it
gave out the authorized interview in
New York, aud in confederation of this
some figures were produced. In Nebras-
ka it was said by the speakers that
the Demo rats hal lut four members
in the entire Legislature, and in Fan
sas but seventeen. In North Dakota
the Republicans had clear majority
of nine in both branches, and in Wyo-
ming five. In California and Montana
the vote is close, with the Populists
holding the balauce of power. One OF
the active memters OF the caucus said
it was not the intention of the Repub-
leans 10 ago mt any so-callel steer
ing comm .ttee, for the reason that the
only purpose of such committee
would lie TO exercise an improper in
fuence u on the Legislatures in the
States in question.

Continuation of the Investigation by the
House Committee.
The House committee appointed to
investigate the Reading Railroad an
thracite coal combination resumed
Thursday morning in the Commerce
Committee room the inquiry it conduct
ed into this subject during the recess in
New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere.
William II. Joyce, general freight agent
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was ex-
amined. He offered in evidence letter
dated April Is last, addressed by him to
+. Il. Holden, chairman OF the anthra-
cite rate committee, New York, calling
attention TO the fact that during the
last year the Lehigh Vslley Railroad
Company, through its coal company,
had made with individual operators con-
tracts for the purchase OF their coal
upon percentage of the prices realized
at tide water.
The Reading Company, the latter
added, had made similar agreements
with number Of miners and shippers,
and it was therefore necessary for the
1t were TO secure the product of collier
les that had heretofore shipped over
its lines. These contracts gave ship
pers for their coal 60 per cent. Of the
prices obtained at tide-water. The let
ter stated that the Pennsylvania Com
pany would therefore reduce it's price
Tor carrying coal to tide water. Wit
ness said that the price over their road
was determined by the law of supply
and demand.
