Nancy Mcintosh the American prima
donna, who in the leading role Of Gilbert
and Sullivau's new opera, utopia, Limit
ed, " has created a good deal of furore in
London musical circles, is just % years Of
age She is an amateur athlete in a small
way and is a particularly good horsewOnn-
an. She looks more English than Ameri-
can, being a handsome, well formed blond,
Sheis dignifed in appearance, and although
but 3 feet inches in height impresses the
observer as being much taller.
Her present engagement was entirely a
matter of accident. She met Mr. Gilbert
at a dinner given by Mrs. Henschel The
famous librettist was charmed by her mai
vete, and learning that she was possessed
of a fine voice, expressed a desire to have
her sing the soprano role of his opera,
which was then on the stocks. Miss Mcln-
tosh felt fattered, but thought of the cpl
sode as only pleasant compliment, espe-
cially as she heard nothing more of it toI
months. When she had almost forgotten
about it, she was one day summoned to
sing for Sir Arthur Sullivan and Mr.
D'Oyly Carte, with the result that three
years contract was at once signed.
And that is how sweet Nancy Mcintosh
got her start on the operatic stage.

A prominent New York manager a few
days ago told me that he had figures to
prove that this is the worst theatrical sea
son this country has had since 1880. He
thought this was due to the fact that many
outsiders had been induced TO go into the
business by such phenomenal successes as
"Shenandoah, - Held by the Enemy and
'The Girl l Left Behind Me" and that the
fallings by the wayside were what all SEN
sible men expected. Still the effect on the
shows which continued has been disas-
trous. The same manager, however, adj
mitted that the strong attractions have
never known a better season. In other
words the people are getting tired of being
humbugged, and if the recent financial
stringency has brought about this changed
condition, it will not have been an unmixed
evil.

GOLD IS KING.
But All Kinds of Men Think Silver
Must Have a
Chance.
What May Be Expected If the Gold
Conspiracy Succeeds-FOOd
For Thought.

WASHINGTON, June "a. j. Warner,
OF Ohio, president of the American BIZ
Metallic league, says: "The stoppage of
coinage of silver in India is the inaugu-
ration Of new monetary revolution, or
rather the extension to the far east Of
the revolution begun in lS72-73 in the
western world. 1t is the second act in
the same great conspiracy. 1t is a move
ment deep seated, and will be far-reach-
ing in its consequences. | look upon
this act Of India's by which the gateways
OF the east are closed to silver, together
with the determined purpose of the
monometallists of this country to repeal
the Sherman act as events frought with
greater danger to man than anything
that has before trapspired within the
century.
Immediate consequence will be that
silver will fall and gold will increase in
value faster than ever. Prices will soon
begin to fall in India, and the whole
world IN time will feel the effects Of the
consummation of this last act of the gold
conspirators. Prices will continue to
fall everywhere as gold rises. The end
no one can fortell. Every advantage will
inure to creditors and creditor nations.
England has set out to subdue the
world, not with arms, but with gold, by
turning everything to gold. If this
movement is allowed to run its course
unchecked there will be fine grinding
before the mills are done. 1t is move
ment big with revolutions and is sowing
seeds of anarchy. But will it be allowed
to run its course? That depends upon
this United States.
"What is there left to do but for the
Western continent, under the lead of
the United States, to unite and act indie
pendently and establish financial sys-
tenn founded upon equality and cacu-
lated to secure stability in value, and
one which will keep an even balance be-
tween debtor and creditor. not one cal
culated to rob with impunity the debtor
for the benefit of the creditor"

SAN ANTONIO Tex, June 2S.-The
boldest attempt at n-robbing that
ever occurred in Texas or the whole
country took place this afternoon about
= o'clock near the little village of Breck-
enridge, in Wilson county, thirty miles
south OF this city. The train held up
was the San Antonio & Arkansas passen
ger The affair resulted in the killing Of
L. N. Martin, fireman, and the capture
OF one OF the robbers, who gives his
name as j. ID. May, a cowboy. At
Breckenridge the train stopped to take
water and as she pulled out three men
boarded the blind baggage, but we're 80
guarded in their movements that they
were not seen by the train crew. The
engineer pulled out at speed of about
fifteen miles an hour and had entered
curve short distance from the tank
when kobber May climbed on the tender
with 41-calibra pistol in each hand,
threw tho guns down upon the engineer
and fireman. Engineer Tierney threw
up his hands, but Fireman Martin made
movement as though he was about to
secure a pistol from a boz under his
seat. The robber then began pouring
lead into Martin and emptied six
shooter into his body, keeping Tierney
covered all the while with the other
pistol. Martin fell dead and his body
rolled out of the gangway of the engine
onto the track, where it was run over by
the tram and mutilated. The other two
train robbers, when they say the dead
body fall out of tho cab, jumped from
their position on the baggage car to the
platform and made for the brush There
were but two passengers on the train,
and each was armed with a six shooter,
When they heard the firing they rushed
up on the platform and as the two rob
bers rushed into the brush
volley was fired after them.
Robber May, who killed the fireman,
seeing that he had been deserted, made
last desperate effort at capturing the
train single handed. but was overpow-
cred. A United States marshal and a
posse of deputies went from here on a
special train and are in pursuit of the
other robbers. j. d. May, the man who
was captured, refuses to make any state
ment further than that it was the iuten-
tion of the band to rob the express and
passengers. He was taken to Brecken-
ridge for safe keeping as threats we're
made by railroad men that he would be
lynched if brought here. Martin. the
fireman, who was killed. was unmarried.
Conductor Steele, who was in charge of
the tram, will receive the $1,000 standing
reward from the state for the capture Of
train robbers"

BELOW THE BELT.
"A COwardly Blow Struck at the Money
of the People Of This
Country.
Silver Men Declare that They Will
Fight Harder Than Ever for
Bi-Metallism.

The Star says: The talk OF radical
silver men since they have got over the
first shock OF the news from India is
rather defiant. Most OF them declare
that they are more than ever determined
to maintain the white metal as money
standard. While admitting that re-
monetizatioD in India is hard blow to
bi-metalism at the present ratio, they
speak OF it as a conspiracy and insist
that it is more than ever important that
this country should stand by silver.
They claim to be tirmer than ever in
their position and say that they intend
to fight with all their might to prevent
any further degradation of silver.
more conservative men, however, re-
gard this as whisting against wind
Their best judgment is that mlny of
those men who are known as moderate
silver men, whose votes in congress have
given to silver the strength
which it has had against the
repeal of the Sherman law, will
be induced to look upon tho question
differently under existing conditions,
and that while the radicals will fight as
hard as ever against the repeal they will
lose many Of their followers in the house
and some of them in the senate. Those
who are not actually welded to silver,
but vote for free coinage because their
constituents think there should be more
money in circulation, will find Ia the
present situation excuse and reason for
voting the Sherman law off the statute
book, perhaps even without any sort of
substitute as Il compromise"
Representative Boatner, of Louisiana,
Oats Of Alabama, Anderson of West
Virginia, and Meredith of Virginia, all
of whom voted for free coinage in the
last congress, now declare that the Sher-
man law must be repealed at the earliest
possible date

silver Gets II Cabinet Hearing But Not of IA
Beneficial X ind as Yet.


WASHINGTON, June 21.-Two hours
were consumed by the cabinet today in
discussing the new phase of the silver
question brought about by the closing
of the India mnts The two conferences
held yesterday afternoon and evening
between the president and Secretary
Carlisle simplitied matters to some ex-
tent. Although the discussion took a
wide range it WAS necessarily brought
back to the one important and unman-
agable point-that the executive had no
power in the premises, congress alone
being able to deal with a measure for re-
lief. 1t was plain to the cabinet that
the monthly purchase of silver must be
continued or else congress must be con
vened in special session Immediately. As
the president desired to call congress to-
gether in the early part of September to
deal with the financial situation and
manifested no intention of changing his
purpose. The project of an earlier ses-
sion of congress, it is understood, was
dropped.
SO far as continuance of the pur-
chase of silver bullion under the Sher-
man law was concerned, it was pointed
out that little more than two months re
mained before congress would convene
IN extra session and that during the in
terval. silver lots purchased would be
only nine million ounces, comparatively
a small amount in view Of previous pur
chases, that the best way to deal with
the question was to await the course of
events for two months longer was gener
ally agreed to and it was with this view
dominant that the meeting adjourned.

About the President.

WASHINGTON, June 2G.-The time of
President Cleveland's departure for his
summer home on Buzzard's bay has not
been definitely set. but he will probably
leave Washington during the first half
Of July. 1t is certain that he will re.
main at the white house for another
week, and there is likelihood that he
will accept an invitation of Senator
Camden to spend few days fishing in
West Virginia in about two weeks. The
rumors from Wall street that the
president was considering the question
Of calling congress in extra session on
Aug. were telegraphed back here to
day They were found to be en-
trey destitute of truth.
