SHE LACKED EXPRESSION.
And Is Hardly Likely to Become n
Great Actress.

Buffalo Express.
She was a pretty girl, so far as her
features went but her face was as ex-
pressionlesS as a concrete sidewalk. She
was we'll dressed, too, and she walked
into the Office of the manager of a local
theater with all the self of the
most soubretty soubrette in the business.
She looked at the man at the desk. who
was reading a newspaper and smoking a
cigarette with vacant sort OF stare, and
said, stolidly:
II want to see the manager
I'm the manager, madam, said that
worthy, politely, taking his feet off his
desk, removing his cigarette doffing his
hat and busting off chair with his nand-
kerchief at one and the same time
She looked him over for a moment. Then
she said in the same sort of voice that she
would ask for some more butter at dinner:
Il want TO act.
You want what?' asked the manager.
Il want to act"
What for?"
'.oh,, / think it's NICE
"Wtere?'

"When?"
I'm ready to begin now"

Eyes, sir, if you will let act

FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.
Franks Of the Current That Have Yet
to De Explained.
New Orleans Picayune.

New Orleans Picayune.
There are cases reported where persons
struck by lightning had small holes bored in
the skull, but otherwise they were not
marked. In other instances victims have
been horribly burned, or even dismembered
or disembowled. There have been cases
where a stroke of lightning has cut off
mans ear or shaved his hair and beard
clean and not hurt him in any other way.
The markings are often curious. Blue Is
the common color. but they have been red,
green and black, and occasionally Nthe
whole body turns black Several times
have had their skin bleached in spots to
absolute whiteness. The most notable in
stance of this sort occurred in Mobile
Ala. on June % of last year. a negro
covered consciousness that he had one COM
pletely white arm. The rest of his body
was as black as usual.
Blindness, deafness and total o. partial
paralysis are frequent consequences of
lightning strokes. Sometimes the light
ming selects a single object on a mans per-
son and assails that without apparently
touching the man himself. Coins have been
melted until they stuck together in a man 5
pocket. while he suffered no ill consc-
quences. Keys. watches and watch chains,
metal cartridges and eyeglass frames have
been more or less damaged, while the per-
sons who wore them were almost unin-
jured.
There have been many cases where
clothing has been almost demolished with
out injury 10 the wcarcr. Iron tacks have
have been destroyed frequently. The brass
cyelets were torn out OF Georgia man s
shoes, but he felt only slight and harm
less shock. Houses and ships are often
zines. petroleum tanks and deposits of
nitro-glycerine have been exploded by
lightning and innumerable trees shattered.

Rio de Janeiro are that the army, which
has hitherto been loyal to Peixoto's gov
eminent, is likely to join the naval In
surgents. Two battalions of the National
Guard have revolted and have declared for
the rebels. 1t is believed that the dsaf-
lection will spread rapidly, and that more
OF Peixoto's troops will soon declare their
adherence to Admiral de Mellos's cause.
The rebel squadron in front of Rio de
Janeiro is inactive. owing to the lack of
ammunition. Hostilities, 1t is believed, will
be resumed as soon as the steamer Ciudade

Admiral de Mellos, reaches him. The revo-
lutionary uprising in the southern province
of Rio Grande do Sui is daily gaining
strength. A large force Of the rebel army
is besieging IAvranido, and the residents
fear that an attack on the city will soon
be made.
Details Of the bombardment of Rio by the
