States nearly forty years ago. Yet he is
sixty-eight years old. He was literally
born without fear and without capacity
for getting giddy. Every one laughed at
his reply to the interviewer in 1850 who
asked, WAS it not really very danger
ous?" '"ro be sure. The rope might have
snapped"
He was born in the south of France, and
his name is Jean Francois Gravele. At
inces, and the famous Ravel engaged him
for an American tour. When his name
was signed Ravel said: "Pah! That will
never do for the billboard. Fla! l see.

Blondin. The NIAGARA performance made
him champion of the world, and he could
command his own price. He grew very
rich and retired, but has recently given oc-
casional exhibitions to preserve his stand
ing in the profession.
His father was gymnast, and he began
rope walking at four years of age; but, he
says, rope walkers are born--not made.
None of his children was born that way,

LARGER DEMOCRATIC PLURALITY THAN
WAS EXPECTED.

Saturdays Call has official returns
from all the counties of California ex-
cept Alpine, Del Norte, Fresno, San
Diego, San Mateo, Shasta and Sutter,
outside of San Francisco, with the re-.
suit that Harrison has 81, ,450; Cleve-
land, 80 800; Weaver, 1920, and Bid
we'll 5662, making the total vote, so far
as counted, 1876, 5,542. This gives Har-
rison plurality OF 1150 over Cleveland.
Allowing as an outside figure 1900 plu.
rality for Harrison in the counties
named above, this would give the Re.
publicans, altogether, 2650 in the in
terror. AS the lowest plurality claimed
for Cleveland in San Francisco from any
quarter is 5000, the Democrats have
carried California by plurality much
larger than anyone had supposed. The
misconception undoubtedly arose from
the telegraphing abroad of such ridicu-
lous claims as 2525 plurality for Har.
rison in Los Angeles county, when he
really only got 2O96.

WHAT WAS DgCIDEU.

First and foremost and forever the
voters of the land have just decided
that all taxation shall be limited to the
necessities Of the government, and that
there must not be any more favors
granted to any claes or classes of pro.
ducers-no protection for protection's
sake. Incidentally the late election de-
cded many more things, but this one
pre-eminently, and so pointedly as to
leave no mistake concerning it.
Now, the Republicans profess to zee
something very radical, if not actually
revolutionary, in the present attitude of
the Democracy and the work laid out
for them. They talk vaguely and
gloomily of the new theory" which
they claim the Democrats are vocfer-
ously called upon to put in practice ct
once, and declare that the country is
entering upon q state of distrust and
probable disaster.
We venture to remark that the more
reasonable and responsible editors and
orators amongst the Republicans do not
really feel that there is any sincerity in
this cry, and that it is left
mainly to the professional politi-
ians to keep it up. The fact is
that it is not the Democrats but the
Republicans who have been departing
from the policy and the traditions of the
country on this question OF taxation.
Once, and always till recently, the Re-
pubiicans held to the doctrine that the
necessities of the government made the
occasion for and the basis of taxation OF
imports. So clearly, in fact, has this
always been understood that there has
tween the two great parties on the
question. La the earlier days OF the

THE suicide of BLACK John" yeeter-
day at the Albemarle in this city was
certainly accompanied by come very pc
culiar circumstances. The man is as
dead as door nail or there would be
something farcieal about the affair. An
individual who had the nerve to marry
thirteen women must have been a cross
between Bluebeard and Byron's Don
Juan. According to his own account,
the deceased was a scoundrel of the
deepest dye. There is come wisdom in
his caution to foolish women who
plunge into matrimony without due in
quiry into the antecedents of the spe-
cious individuals who go frequently
wreck their lives. According to Black
Johns own story, he must have handled
a good deal of money in his time, but
only the pitiful sum of twenty cents was
found in his clothes after he had shui-
fed off this mortal coil. Whatever mys-
terry may have been wrapped up in his
career, the world is evidently we'll rid OF

KISSED HER GOODNIGHT
AND THEN BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY
SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Mrs. 8. X. white Takes Her Life by an
Overdose of Morphine She Thought
Her Husband Was De-
tNL ceiving Her.

While "Black John" yesterday morn
ing was writhing in the agonies of death,
under the benumbing influence of q
deadly dose OF morphia, Mrs. 8. E.
White had also sought surcease from her
sorrows by draft of the same poisonous
drug. When her husband awoke yes
terday morning about $3.50 O'Clock he
attempted to awake Mrs. White, and as
she did not answer, he became alarmed
and notified the woman who keeps the
house. 1t was discovered that Mrs.
White was unconscious and breathing
heavily. Fears were entertained that
she had taken poison, as she had threat
ened to do so. A physician was at once
sent for and every possible effort was
made to save the life of the unfortunate
woman, but she died at O'Clock last
evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. White have been
living at 51S Regent street, between
Fifth and Sixth, for the past year and
half. She was aged about "a years !;
they had no children. Mr.. White is
proprietor of the Cottage bakery, on
South Spring, near Fifth street. They
had bsen married about IS months.
In the room was found paper con-
tanning traces of morphine. She left q
letter addressed to her husband, giving
as the cause for her desperate deed that
she was jealous and unhappy. The let
ter was unsealed and lay upon the table
where she had written it, after her hus-
band had retired for the night. 1t
seems that she had been jealous of her
husband for some time, and on Satur-
day evening she reproached him for
seeming neglect, and when he told her
that he intended attending meeting
of the Bakers union that even
ing she seemed more jealous
still. He returned home shortly after
midnight and was again reproached by
his wife, who admitted that she had
gone to the hall and saw that there was
no meeting as stated, then she readily
concluded that he had been deceiving
her. Mr.. White stated to HERALD re-
porter last evening that his wife ad-
mitted to him that she followed him
and that she afterwards saw him on the
streets with man, but notwithstand-
ing, she was jealous, and further. that
she threatened to commit suicide. "Fin.
ally she asked me to kiss her goodnight
and l went to sleep; when 1 woke up
this morning tried to awaken her and
then called for the lady of the house. :"
1t is not known where she procured
the paper of poison and it is supposed
that she wrote the letter while she WAS
waiting for her absent husband to re-
turn and kiss her goodbye, and after he
fell asleep che swallowed the fatal
draft.
The inquest will be held today at Q
O'Clock at the late residence of the de-

AMUSE MENTS.

The GRAND-Julia Marlowe, the
charming young artist who appears at
the Grand opera house this week with
her excellent company of players, is to-
day considered the leading exponent OF
what is best in the stage art of our time.
Her dramatic career began in Cincin-
natl with an opera company in Pinafore.
The next opportunity came after che
left the opera company and was travel
ing as guest for brief time with Miss
Ada Dow, an actress who took a great
deal of interest in her and was friend
of her mothers.
Baltbszar of Romeo and Juliet was
taken i'll in the theater, and she being
present, begged them to let her play it..
They of course declared that although
the part was short such young child
would not have time to learn it. She
astonished them by repeating every line
and every cue and then fairly astounded
them by offering to recite the whole
play. Some four years previous to this
she had seen Madame Mojjeska in the
part, and it had so fred her ambition
that she had secretly studied it.

For five years Miss Marlowe studied
diligently in New York, under the best
master that could be found in the city,
in all that pertained to making her fit to
step at once upon the footlights as a
star; thorough in the technique and

make any one, ready to develop her
powers with maturity of body and the
