KICKING AGAINST RILLISM.

David B. Hill, who is open to the
suspicion of having his eye fixed on
the presidency, is developing as a
snap shooter. His managers, acting
of course under his direction, have
called the New York democratic
state convention for February %, to
choose delegates to the national con-
vention This is about two months
earlier than the convention is usu-
ally called, and Hills action has
created quite breeze among demo-
Gratis of the Empire state, many of
whom speak right out against this
hastv procedure and promise to re-
volt. Even in New York city there
is vigorous kick, and it looks as
though Senator Hill was going to
kill off his chances for the presiden
tial nomina ton. He is for Hill first,
last and all the time, but is likely to
overdo the job. Several of the lead
ing democratic newspapers are talk
ing very plainly against the threat
ened evils of "Hillism'
"a great, fearless and faithful min
ister," fifty characterizes the late
Rev. Chas. H. Sturgeon, the Baptist
clergyman Of London, who died on
Sunday night. He was man adj
mired the world over for his forcible
yet kindly presentations of the truth,
and his death creates a vacancy
which it will be hard to fill. He was
in his 5Sth year, and preached his
first sermon at the age of sixteen.
Crowds focked to hear him during
his ministry, and his sermons have
had a worldwide circulation; be-
sides his labors in the pulpit he has
done much literary work, and his
pen has been kept busy in effective
service

Captures Two Cougars.

Sam. Patterson, of Juniper Flat, is the
hero OF the hour. A few days ago he was
out in the morning with Winchester rifle.
and saw two cougars in tree. Picking up
a large rock he hit one of them in the head
and felled him. Jumping on the prostrate
animal, he unbuttoned his suspenders and
securely tied him. Looking up into the
tree, he saw the other one perching on a
limb, and gathering pile of rocks he com.
menced an onslaught and soon brought him
to the ground. This time he had no sus
penders, but had recourse to his shoe
strings. By the time he had commenced
operations, the cougar was fully resuscitated,
and desperate struggle ensued; but Sam
was successful. and, although his clothes
were torn from him and he was scratched in
several places by the claws of the infuriated
animal Patterson had him tied with tough
thongs of buckskin. In this condition,
Sam. hauled them to his home, and placed
them in strong cage. Mr.. Patterson was
accompanied by late arrival from the east,
who stood at safe distance during the en-
counter, and desired his neutrality to be
properly respected by both parties. Mr..
Patterson Is Kentuckian, does not know
such word as fear, and always votes tine
Republican ticket. He is peaceable, unas-
suming, and gentlemanly fellow; but, with
out a man has il his coat pocket life
policy with his wife or some member of his
family as beneficiary, or is heavily insured
against accident-by the providence of God
or the act of man-don't insult him or at
tempt to trample upon any of his inalIena-
Bile rights as free born American citizen.

Sudden Death of Mr.. Becknell.

While listening to the proceedings in the

Mr.. Ulysses Sherman Becknell, aged about

he was married to Octavia, one could
| easily imagine that the voluptuous
Egyptian queen was true to nature as the
divine Shakespeare pictured her. Such
defamation is not mechanical alone, but
artistic and shows intellectual conception
of feelings which only results from men
tai discipline and true insight into the
real characters of the creations of our
great poets. The disconsolate PERI, ac-
cording to the cult of MoslemIsm, driven
from the gates of paradise, as beautifully
described by Mr. Thomas Moore, was
portrayed very realistically by Miss Stan
nus, and such an artistic rendition of the
feelings of despair that they could be re-
allied by the audience, it was a master
piece of acting. Miss Stannus is an art
ist, not only IN the grace and ease of ges-
lures, the correct facial expressions and
expressive intonations of voice, but in the
careful conception of the proper blending
of hate, despair and love. tits pleasure
to any one to read the great authors; but
an inetfable joy to see the creations be
fore you in living, acting reality. Such
was Miss Stannus' personations last even-
ing.
Between the acts were songs and instru
mental pieces by local talent, and OF these
worthy of especial mention were the we'll
rendered vocal solo by Mrs. w. L. Brad
shaw, the guitar solo by Mr.. Frank Gar

The Ohrysanthemum Festival.
From Fridays Daily.

FROM frluaY . Dally.
There were very many visitors at the
Episcopal festival last evening. and. the
different varieties of flowers were greatly
admired. The delicate shades of color were
very bea utiful, and these attracted con-
siderable atten tion. "Baby Ruth, "Mrs.
Harrison" and other classes Of chrysanthe-
NUNS were especially attractive. Several
flowers were purchased with the intention
of sending them to friends In the east,
where the country is locked in the icy arms
of winter.
The room DEVOTED to high tea and sub
strantial edibles is worthy of more than a
passing notice. Tables were arranged in
different colors, with dishes in harmony.
These were presided over by ladies, and
coffee and refreshments served on order.
The ornamentation of the tables, with
chrysanthemums of the proper shade, were
tastefully and artistically arranged. Booths
on the side of the room were used for dis
pensing ice. cream, chocolate etc., and these
were literally patronized.
In every department the festival has been
very successful. and great credit Is due the
ladies who arranged the flowers, decorated
the tables and booths, and managed the
affair throughout In every detail. The
object for which the festival was gwen was
one that should have received liberal pat
ronage, as anything given to support
churches is in aid of the better element in
every community. We have not heard the
amount of the proceeds; but hope that it is
such that will show proper appreciation
of ladies' efforts.

Miss Stannus.
From Wednesdays Dali,

rTOm WeuueSQays DallY.
A full house greeted Miss Rosa Stannus
in her rendltions at the Methodist church
last evening. Her selections were humor-
ous aud tragical, and, taking in the wide
scope of characters from O'Flaherty,
lately arrive in the country from county
Limerick, and Frow Breitzman of Held
elberg. Germany,to Margarita from Faust
and Cleopatra from Shakespeare, she dis
played conception of character rarely
witnessed off the histrionlc boards. Miss
Stannus is nearly perfect in her ldioms of
English as spoken by foreigners, and
when she impersonates the ideals of the
great world poets, Shakespeare and Goethe,
she displays careful study of human
character which these giant minds at
tempted to portray to the intelligent of
the human race. Her gestures were given
with ease, naturalness and grace, and the
intonations of voice gave evidence of
careful culture and ariIstlc training.
From the agonizing tones of Margarlta to
the deep, solemn words of doom there
was such a gentle transition that one
would imagine two persons were before
the audience, and the burning words of
hate and love from the lips of Cleopatra
when told that Antony was we'll and that
