the Germany of Faust have found
a tarry place in many centers of

MOSLEM HELLS.
The Hottest of All is Assigned to the
Hypocrites.

The Hottest of All is Assigned to the
Hypocrites.
The seventh or worst hell is by all
Moslem commentators assigned to hypo-
critics. There appears to be a natural fit
ness in this, which has pleased all tastes.
But with regard to the inhabitants of
the other hells there is much strife. Some,
for example, set idOlatorS in the second
III the third Cog and Magog, devils in the
fourth, those who neglect almsgiving and
prayer in the fifth, and Magians. Jews
and Christians together-an ingenious
tOrture-in the sixth. Others say that
JohanBam is the abode Of the Dahriyah
who deny the creation, believing in the
world S eternity; Lathia, of the Dualists
or Manichees and idolatrous Arabs: Hut
amah, OF the Indian Brahmins; Sa'ir, of
the Jews; Sakir, Of the Christians, and
Jahim, of the Magians.
A very common confusion, supported
by very respectable authority, gives the
second hell to the Jews and the third, or
worst, to the Christians. That Moham-
med never intended this seems clear
from the Table, in which he saws the
Jews are the most violent enemies of the
Moslems, because they ARE not pulled
UP with pride'' while the Christians are
the fost inclinabIe to entertain friend
ship for them. Every one of these helIs
IS mentioned by its proper name in the
Koran. For example, the seventh, low
est and last hell, the he'll OF hypocrites,
IS al-hari alb, or the Striker, one of the
many names of the Judgment DAY, so
called, as Jalal explains, because ii strikes
all hearts with its terrors, a day eIo-
auently described in the inspired Ian
guage of the prophet, "Of men scattered
10 and fro like moths. of mountains fly
ing 10 and fro in the air like locks of
carded and colored wool" In al-kariah.
it is said, And as for him whose balance
shall be light. his metropolis shall be
Hawiyah. "-Nineteenth Century.

Herr StrakOsch Once Put to Sore

Every boy and girl has heard of Nine.
Adelina Patti, who has won so much
lame as q singer. When she was a very
little gIri, indeed, only ten years Old, she
sang IL this country in Il series OF con-
certs. The following story is Told OF her:
On the evening OF any concert she was
expected to perform the young song
stress, or Infant Prodigy as she was
styled IN the programme, always de-
manded as d reward a present of some
toy. This had to De brought 10 her before
the concert began, or else Miss Patti de-
clared that she would not sing. on one
occasion Herr Strakosch, the manager,
was called to the dreSSIng-room in great
haste. There he found the infant
prodigy" seated discOusolate upon the
edge OF the table and displaying a little
OF her temper. The promised present
had been forgotten and Miss Patti most
nrmly refused TO go upon the platform
unless nice big doll was given to her.
herr Strakoscn was i'll despair. The
audience was growing impatient of the
long wait and could be heard clapping.
=" on shall have such beautiful doll
atterWard, DEAR" she was told, the very
best there is in the town." She should
nave three, four, any number of dolls ii
she would only sing! But no; promises
and entreaties were in vain. Little Miss
Patti had made up her mind 10 doll, no
song, was the substance OF her reply. At
last the manager himself seized his hat
and hurried OH to see il he could obtain
the unfortunate present. Alas at that
late hour all the shops in the town were
closed, and 1t was some time before he
could discover the proprietor Of one of
them and make him understand what it
was he wanted. The largest and hand
somestdol was hastily picked out and
away went the manager again to the con-
cert hail. He rushed breathiess into the
dressing room and threw down his bur
den at the little tyrants feet. Then, hav-
ing won her cause. she lightly tripped on
TO the platform, where she was at once
welcomed with burst of applause.

Henry Dehn Parades With a Pistol a
an Early Hour.

Henry Dehm HaradeS With Pistol at
an Early Hour.
A telephone message was received at
the Police Station at 2:30 o'clock yester-
day morning from the car stables at
Twenty y-eighth and streets, saying that
man was creating a disturbance there
by firing a revolver and using threaten
ing language.
Captain Bradley answered the tele-
phone and advised the people there to
take the revolver from the man.
Shortly afterward a second call came
for an officer, and Captain Bradley pro-
ceeded to the locality. Upon his arrival
lie was told by q special officer. John
Houston, that Henry Dehn was the war
like individual, and that be had been fir
ing his pistol reclllessly and acting other
wise boisterOusly.
The Captain found Dehn at his house,
close by, still with the revolver, and after
| endeavoring without avail to quiet him,
arrested ana took him to the Police Sta
ton.
Dehn was intoxicated to an irresponsi-
bic degree, would not be reasoned with,
and had violated the ordinance by dis
charging firearms inside the city limits.
1t seemed as though Dehn had intimi-
dated Special officer Houston, who is a
young fellow and could do nothing with
him. Houston says that Dehn fired sew
eral shots IN reckless manner, and when
he lHouston) found Dehn's pistol all the
chambers were empty.

A FAMILY ROW.
Ex-Of1cer Mclaughlin Returns and
Gets Into Trouble.

Ex-Oficer Mclaughlin Returns and
Gets Into Trouble.
Shortly before IL o'clock last night. Just
when all was excitement at the police
station over the Chinatown riot, a teIe-
phone message was received to the effect
that eX-Police officer William McLaugh-
lin had shot and killed his wife, at Fourth
and @ streets.
Officer McMannus and Special Greer
were dispatched TO the scene Immediately
IN an ambulance and Officers Lowell and
Snook and RECORD UNIoN reporter fol-
lowed moment later in hack.
Arriving at the R-street levee on Fourth
street the whole neighborhood was found
out in the streets discussing the trouble
1T was soon ascertained, however, that
tnere had been no shooting, but, instead,
that there had been grand free -for-all
family row, in which Mclaughlin had
taken an active part.
1t appears that the ex-officer returned
night before last from San Diego, where
he had been playing baseball Tor two
months. Heand his wife had not been
getting along well together prior to his
departure, but upon his return they
made up" Yesterday they went out
riding together, and stopped at various
resorts for liquid refreshments, with the
result that both became somewhat intoxi-
Gated.
Billy" as ne was known on the dia-
mond, is ugly when in liquor, and it was
not long before he and his wife were hav-
ing trouble again. They were at the resi-
dence OF Mrs. McLaughlin's family-the
Haley's-at the levee last night and quar-
relied. The wite's brothers, Con and
jerry, the prize-fghter, took a hand in
the affair and essayed to whip McLaugh-
lin. The latter was full of fight by this
time and matters were seriously mixed
for time. Mclaughlin succeeded in
giving the Haley brothers a sound drub-
bing, but not before he had been badly
cut up himself.
Mclaughlin was taken to the Police
Station. but no charge was preferred
against him.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Frank Daniels, in Little Puck" had a
good audience at the Metropolitan Thea
ter last night. which is surprising, be-
cause the piece has been played here
thrice. Mr.. Daniels company is mainly
new and is very strong in I0w-comedy,
Hilda Thomas especially proving a very
clever comedy actress and pleasing singer
Bessie Samson is still leader in the
troupe, and gives the part of the Pro-
feSSor'S daughter new viyaCiTy and wit:
Daniels himself is rivaled by none: he
stands alone, his method being wholly
unlike that of any other, and all he does
being individually striking and indie
pendent.
At the Metropolitan Theater Friday and
Saturday evenings Carroll Johnson will
appear in ''The Gossoon." He has Just
concluded a very successful engagement
III San Francisco, and he and his com
pany are spoken Of by the press of that
city i'll commentators terms. Johnson
IS an Irish singing comedian, clever,
magnetic in his personality, witty,
pathetic, graceful, a good dancer, and a
good comedy actor. He is represented as
the only successor OF Scanlan. The
scenery of the play is fair representation
OF the picturesque Wlldness ofthe County
Kerry, which has been STYLED The
Il
summer and in mid-wiuter, with the
lakes of Killarney, and with sunset
and moonlight effects. A sensational
scene is 'the unroOing of the cabin"
and is one Of the most striking stare
effects of the day. The San Francisco
Chronicle said of the first night of the
play in that city: 1.-THE GCssoon' is Inv
| l.. E. kidder. 1t is OF the stereotyped
order, the kind Of play in which Joe
Murphy, Scanlan and others have found
fortune. Mr.. Johnson is as good as the
play, and he has that pleasant personality
which in all Irish dramas has much more
10 do with success than hiStriOnic ability.
He has fine voice and has several SONGS
in the piece, although last night he did
not give the audience all they wanted.
The Gossoon' calls for the regular list of
Villains and Colleens. The plot is quite
as strong and interesting as any OF Sean
lan's or Murphy's: the piece is well
staged and in most cases picturesquely
dressed; there are lois of speeches that
get a round of applause, and, generally
speaking, The GoSsOOn' is acceptable to
that class of the public who enjoy the
sentiment of Irish drama" The box
office viii open tomorrow morning for
the reservation of seats.
