Bad for Wanamaker.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March l.
John Wanamaker's brokers sold
him out of his entire holding of
Reading stock last Saturday, and
the loss to the postmaster general
by the trade was about 100000. 1t
is alleged that Mr.. Wanamaker
could not put up the margin de-
manded by the brokers. They
urged him to sell out, but he is said
to have refused. They finally de-
cIined to risk the losses and sold
out against his will.

FORT DODGE, To-, March Mrs.
William Wilbur, of Rowan, has
been adiudged insane and sent to
the insane asylum. The imme-

was a graphic picture Of hell drawn
in the pulpit by her pastor. The
preachers description of the tor

vivid impression upon Mrs. Will
bur's mind that her reason was
overthrown and it is feared that

Are They "BIeedino" Us.

Why is it that when a fairly good com
pany comes to this city that the people
are bed' with high prices. Can it be
that the local manager is so poor a Judge
of shows that he doesn't know any better
All the high priced shows this season
were not half as good as some of the
shows seen last season at regular prices,
in fact San Antonio people witnessed bet
ter shows last season than have visited
the city this year. What San Antonio
needs is an opera house manager who
understands his business. The people of
this city are being imposed upon, as so
far no real good shows have left the north,
and only those companies classed as com.
pany No. which travel on the reputa-
ton made by first class company in

A Little Girls Luck.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, March L.
Some time ago Theresa Pope, a
little girl living in Lincoln County,
found something resembling an
imperfect marble while playing in
gravel which was being placed on
her fathers walk, and gave it to
her father to keep for her. Mr..
Pope forgot all about the stone I'M
til one day he happened to take it
from his pocket and exhibited it to
a number of men. One of them, a
drummer, offered Pope SOC for it,
which was refused, and the bid
was raised to $3.50. Another man
standing by offered $50, but that
was also refused. Mr.. Pope was
convinced he had valuable stone,
and sent it to Philadelphia to be
mounted if its value was proven.
1t has now been returned, and per-
sons who are judges of the value
of pearls pronounce it worth 5000.

UNDUE FAMILIARITY.
A ColOred Fighter Kisses his White
Opponent.

1t is not usual spectacle to see
men go into the ring to fight and
kiss at the same time.
In the Armstrong Barber fight
something happened not usually on
the bills. In the seventh round the
two men clinched and Barber tho
colored fighter in jocular spirit,
probably, imprinted a palpable kiss
on the cheek of his white opponent.
Armstrong had been biffed on the
cheek by his antagonist and
took his medicine smilingly but when
he was kissed there it seemed to stir
up, so to speak, some of the worst
elements of his nature. 1t dazed him
for few second, and then he went
back to his corner with a great load
of thought on.
1t occurred to him that it was time
to resent this undue familiarity and
as soon as time was called ho bound
ed over to his chuckling foe and
went at him like house afire.
He opened with a vicious left
swing which the darby ducked, but
he followed with his right and land
ed in great shape.
Then he sent IN two upper cuts on
the mug of the African as if that
part of the other fellows anatomy
was specially obnoxious to him.
During about two minutes he
rained the blows on his man until he
was limp and helpless in the ring.
In the last round he seemed to want
to hit the moke in such way that
he would have to grab root to keep
from falling off the earth.
Armstrong says that he is man
of some feeling and likes kissing Gin
moderation of course or even In Car
sony but while he is not adverse to
fighting al African for purse as low
as $3.50 side, he draws the color
line on oscillations and no colored
man shall kiss him publicly and get
away with it. He would lick Peter
jackson if he ever dared do such Il
thing, although he adds that Jack
son has too much natural reserve to
attempt any such familiarity with
any protege of Jim Corbett.
