View Of the Audience.

ROTTERDAM, Nov. GA dispatch from
Java tells of thrilling occurrence at Soera-
karata, one of the principal places in that
| island.
Moerel, the well-knowu prima donna. was
singing on the stage before brilliant audi
ence, including the Dutch President and

thusastic, and the prima donna seemed to
be at her best.
onc of the richest young llollanders in
Soerarkata has just sent a rich bouquet to
the prima donna.
She received it with smile and was
bowling gracefully, when suddenly her
whole appearance changed, her face seemed
to turn liyiJ, and, with Il cry of agony, she
fell to the stage.
The audience rose in CONSERVATION. and
the other members of the troupe rushed to
the assistance of the stricken woman; but
when they attempted TO remove her she
seemed to suffer so much that it was
thought best to wait awhile.
In few minutes, Notwithstanding
prompt medical attention, the prima donna
died OH the stage, in full view of the audi
ence. The cause of death was found TO be
a sudden attack of Asiatic cholera.

guest at the Lindell. "A party of us
had gone from Pueblo for week $
hunting and fishing along the Arkansas
river. We carried tents and campe'l
out. A man named Britton had his
Young son with him, manly little
fellow. who could land trout and bring
Town AN antelope with the best of us.
One day he got separated from the
party, lost his way and spent the night
ia the mountains. He had with him a
short 3S-caliber sporting rifle, good
weapon for small game. but in the sec
ton where we We're camped mountain
lions were plentiful. His father was
well nigh distracted, and we searched
all night long for the adventurous
youugster without avail. Just at sun
up we started to return to camp.
'.As we descended a ravine we discov-
cred the object of our search, sound
asleep with his head pillowed on All
enormous mountain lion, which was
curled up ia though enjoying nap.
Three of lis approached cautiously to
within fifty yards, drew bead on the
animal, and at n given signal fired. The
brute never stirred. The boy, whom We
supposed dead. half rose, rubbed his eyes
and inquired peevishly, What in blazes
