ALL ABOUT A GIRL.
Two Young Bloods Fight to Fin
ish at e Methodist Camp Meet

Two Young BiOOds Fight to Fin
ish at e Methodist Camp Meet
ing.
CHICAGO, July 29.-Lake Bluff.
where the Methodist camp meetings,
second onlysto Des PLANES, are held, is
all agog, not over the camp meeting,
but over prize fight which was fought
to finish between two young bloods
almost within the confines of the
camp grounds. The principals i'll the
affair are Edward HargreaVeS.
son of Frederick B. Hargreaves, presl-
dent of the Chicago Dipsocura company,
and Thomas Damn, whose father is we'll
known on tie Pacific coast. They
fought under Marquis OF Queensbury
rules, and the Chicago man dOwned his
opponent after thirty-three minutes
hard fighting. Naturally, the religious
ly inclined are aghast at the depravlty
of mankind, but the more worldly
minded have found something out OF
the common to gossip about.
Hargreaves and Damn up to few
weeks ago had been the best of friends,
but lately GOODNESS has sprung up be-
tween them. The cause of this estrange-
ment was fair camper of the gentler
sex. Damn. however, appeared to be the
favored one, and as a consequence Har-
greaves became a prey to a fiery Jeal-
ousy that, as the sequel showed,
required blood for its salts
faction. Matters eliminated when a
dispute arose over close point in ten
mis- game. The i'll feeling broke into
open warfare, and it was decided to re
tire to quiet spot and settle the matter
with their fists. which they did. One
hundred spectators were present. The
betting was even. Damn was the quick
est, but Hargreaves was in better coll
dition and had the staying qualities.
Dann's quickness gave him the adj
vantage at the outset, and the first four
rounds were mainly to his credit, but in
the fifth he began to weaken, and
wasn't in it from that time on, Har-
greaves landing a Knockout blow on
his nose in the eighth, when time was
called. Hargreaves was declared the
winner. Both are badly punished, and
will not be presentable in good society
for some time to come, Dann'S face, eS-
pecially. being seriously disfigured.
The young lady IN the case, however,
still believes in the fallen champion.

MURDERERS FOUND,
Prominent Illinois Men Arrested
on a Serious Charge.

QUINCY. ILL.,, July 29.-The mystery
of the killing of Solomon p. Bradshaw,
the Quincy travelling salesman, at the
home of Mrs. Kittie Breckenridge. at
Kingston, thirty miles from here, July
10, is about cleared up. Edward Luton
er and John Moore, two prominent
young men of the neighborhood, con-
fessed this afternoon that they were
leaders of the band of White Caps that
attacked the Breckenridge house that
night for the purpose of driving Brad
S haw and Mrs. Breckenridge away on
account of alleged immoral conduct.
The door was shut in their faces
and some one in the disguised mob, still
unknown, fired four shots from re-
volver. The bullets went through the
door, and Bradshaw fell dead at the
first fire. OF the remaining members
of the mob is George Nation. postmaster
and storekeeper at Kingston, and the
others are all among the more prminent
farmers in the southeast part of the
county. The coroner's Jury finished its
labors tonight with all the implicated
men under arrest. The county is more
excited over the affair than anything
that has happened in years.

"a SHATTERED IDOL"

Lifts Players Offer a New Pro-
duoti3n This Week
With this week and next Jacob Lifts
players will bring to close the stock
season at the Grand, and it can be truly
said that they have added a series Of
the most finished and artistic perform
auces to The list made the past two
summers by their predecessors, and it
is a question whether this city will, if
ever, see q dramatic organization with
SO much of merit in IL as possessed by
the stock company Of this year. 70 the
fact that the appearances of Mr.. Lifts
company are limited now to the regular
performances of the next two weeks,
additional interest is added from the
fact that a new play is TO be put on this
week for the first time. lis title is "a
Shattered IDOL" and Clyde Fitch, the
well known and successful dramatic
writer, is its author.
The scenes of "a Shattered IdOl' are
laid in Paris, and it is strongly impreg-
mated with an element of heart interest
that will make it attractive. This IN
terest is created by the parental love of
an old father for his only child. He
has in life but enc obiect-her happi-
ness, and she, a woman without heart or
get money from him, and he in his
blind devotion and idolatry, ruins him
self to supply her demands, only to find
when everything is gone and beggary
alone is left to him that his child has
none of that filial affection that has
been the one object of his life to create
and cherish. Mr.. Fitch draws his char
acters on most marked lines. and IN "a
Shattered Idol'' will be found a number
of characters, both typical and full of
marked characteristics. The Grand has
already made for itself record of hav-
ing presented for the first time number
of plays that have proven both popular
and highly successful, and there is
every reason to believe that this week
will add "A Shattered 1Gol' to the list.
The several characters to be created in
this new play will be III the hands of
the following members of the stock
company: Garry Turner, Ruth Carpen-
ter, Mrs. Jones, Florence Slower. Ray
Goldman, j. II. Gilmour, George FaW-
clitt, Stephen Grattan, George Wright,
Charles Willis, Harry Saint Maur and
Paul Gilmore, and from this list of
names an excellent Interpretation of
Mr.. Fitch's play is assured. The same
care in staging that has been 4 feature
of the work of the stock company will
be seen in "a Shattered IDOL" and
the present week promises to be
notable one in the history of this
years stock company.
Il
For the final week of the Stock COM
pany, commencing next Sunday night,
Led AStraY," which will be the play
seen, will furnish Mr.. Lifts players
with splendid material with which to
terminate a season that has been one of
continued finished performances.

The summer season of the Metropol-
tan opera house will soon be a thing of
the past. The WilburS have but three
more weeks at this theater. as the reg
ular season begins on the DIST of Au-
gust. Those who have not seen the
Wilbur Opera company should take
advantage of these remaining weeks to
attend the performances, as the amount
Of amusement they get for the prices
charged is remarkably cheap. the best
seats for the matinee being only %
cents and for the evening % and so
cents. The theater during these hot
summer days and nights is the
coolest place in St. Paul. The
auditorium of this house is kept
Mt 20 degrees, regardless of the
temperature outside. The cool and
comfortable play house in connection,
with such splendid performance OF
opera, al such remarkably cheap prices,
is a great inducement to the theater-
going public. and the result IS that the
Wilbur Opera company are playing to a
tremendous business during the entire
summer. They finished their sixty
ninth consecutive performance last
night and have played to over $4,000
people, and the standing room sign only
has been displayed at almost every per-
Torrance. matinees as we'll as nights.
This week, beginning tonight, is the
last but two of the Wilbur's engage
ment. During the entire week they
will present the brilliantbperatic work,
"Dorothy.' This will be the first per-
Torrance of this opera ever given in this
city by the WilburS. The opera has only
been given once before, and that was by
the BostOnians. In connection with the
opera some of the members of the CON-
pany will introduce some bright and
pleasing specialties. All the week. be-
ginning Sunday night, Aug. 6, the com.
pany will present for the first time the
delightful opera, Glover" The follow

Craig is a master of the sword. He
gave an exhibition the other day. He
took soft. tin piece of white cotton
cloth and placed an apple in it. The
ends were brought together and tied so
that the apple hung loosely in cloth
bag, and the bag and apple were sus-
pended from a string at about the
height of mans head from the floor.
standing near the bag Craig hit it
sharp upward cut with the sword. 1t
was united and the apple was found cut
in half, while not a thread of the cloth
which held it was severed, says the
Chicago Tribune.
The swordsman hung over the blade
dozen strips of silk ribbon. They
were OF that soft, clinging texture that
defes the blade better than far heavier
material. With a single lightning
lunge the dozen ribbons were severed,
cut by the mere resistance of the air
against the sword blade, the movement

A story which rivals Poe's "Black
Cat'' comes from Fannin county.
A negro there was greatly annoyed
by a brindle cat that followed him to
and from the fields; and, indeed,
wherever he went. Even i'll his dreams
the cat was with him, and it was moth
ing unusual to awake in the morni ng
and find the feline on his breast.
The negro became Superstitious
and decided that he was ''conjured."
Then it was the cats death seemed
necessary to the mans peace of mind.
He caughtlt by the hind legs, dashed
its head against a tree and left it dead
by branch.
But that night, while the negro was
addressing himself to sleep, he was
encountered by two glittering eyes at
the foot of the bed. Then he heard a
familiar whine-and a reproachtul
whine at that!
1t was the cat-the brindle cat-come
to life again.
He leaped from the bed and fled Shrek
ing from his cabin, and now there is
one negro missing from Fannln county,

An Exciting Incident of the Voyage Of .

ence in the great hurricane. She was
from Cuba to New York with sugar. All
her sails were blown away. Her master,
Capt. George D. Rowe, is young man.
His mate, George B. Galley of Rockland,
was severely injured and disabled for
duty by being struck in the face by the
wheel. Capt. Rowe had only two men on
board besides the mate, and he had to
take the wheel and steer himself. The
sea broke so savagely over the deck and
the wind was SO strong that he had to
lash himself to the Wheel While IN
this position huge sea broke on his
vessel and washed the hatch off, but
as it was floating past him the captain
caught 1T and. held it with his legs
until his men could get hold of it and
nail it back. Without the hatch the
vessels.a would have filled in a few
minutes and gone to the bottom. While
seamenss were. forward and the captain
was holding on to the wheel with all his
might, a huge wave came aboard and
washed his two men overheard. He heard
them yellingy and as he turned he saw
the frightened sailors on the crest of a
wave. He hardly had time to say, my
God, am / left alone with my mate

both of the sailors back on deck. They
exclaimed at once, That's all right,
