Mr.. Henry E. Dxey, who is at the
Walnut Street Theatre, in the New
Adonis," could probably command the
highest salary of any comedian on the
stage if he would consent to support
female star. Not day passes but what
he receives large offers with persons of
enormous salaries to enter comic opera
companies and play the leading comedy
part. He prefers to stay alone on account
of the independence and because he makes
more money than in any other way. The
New Adonis" is said to be brilliant in
the extreme.
During Salvini's coming engag ement at
the Walnut Street Theatre, he VIII pre-

MedfOrd,

Lizzie Blair, the 8-year-old daughter OF
Hamilton and Helen Blair, residing near
Medford, had a narrow escape from
drowning on Wednesday afternoon on the
Forepaugh stock farm. The farm hands
had just finished digging new 3O-foot
well, with six feet of water. The little
girl, in company with several other
persons, was around the well inspecting
the work, when she leaned too far over
the mouth and lost her balance and fell
in. Isaiah Ballinger, who was standing
near, caught hold of the rope attached to
a windlass and went down the well and
caught the child before she sank in the
water the second time.
Several others who saw the accident at
tempted to render assistance to extricate
Mr.. Ballinger and the child from their
perilous position, and, in their haste and
excitement, Mr.. Ballinger lost his hold on
the child when he was half way up the
we'll, and the child fell back into the
water. After a number of attempts the
child was safely drawn out.
