NEW YORK. April 29.-The only new
ness OF the week is Mrs. Frank Leslie's
adaptation Of Dumas "Demi Monde"
ct the Union Square. She has named
her version the "Froth of Society,"" 1t
differs but little from the many other
versions, and that little consists mainly
In making Susanna DANCE take poison.
O thing q slammerkin Of the Suzanne
kind would not be likely to do. Mrs.
Leslie's version is distinctly inferior to
THE Crust of Society" and even to
Baroness" Blanc's deception" Got
ham has been laughing g~ood-naturely
during the week over the nerve"
Of this clever lady, In advertising
her show by putting out hundreds
Of her photographs over the city
and by placing herself conspicuously In
q box on the first night waiting for .
call. Unfortunately the call came not,
owing to an accident to Mr.. Haworth,
who is q good actor and very popular In
the metropolis. The company came d.
rect from the wilds Of Kansas and Mr..
Haworth had eaten, but q couple Of quiz
nine pills that day. Before making
up" he took q bracer in the shape OF q
good nip of "Royal Reserve" and the
consequence wa q well developed jag
which stuck to him during the first and
second acts. He pulled himself to-
gether in the third act, but he had
ruined the good old lady's chance Of
coming before the curtain. the only one
she will probably ever have.

Early In the piece there was real water
to carry the real boat that bears away
the hero from the lonely island where

die, aud there was real water for the
storm of rain TO descend, while the
thunder roared and the flash lights
made lightning flashes just like the real

water to dash and foam about the arti-

THE ALLIS TRIAL.

The celebrated case of State of Ark
ansas VS.. William G. Allis, charged
with the misappropriation of funds,
etc, will be called for trial in the Fed
eral court at Little Rock, Ark, on
Monday next, not before the regular
judge, but before Judge Sanborn, one
of the judges of the United States
Circuit court of Appeals.
The change is not altogether unex-
pected to the people of Little Rock, as
it has for some time been thought by
those intimate with Judge Williams
and cognizant of his long and intimate
acquaintance with Mr.. Allis, that the
Judge would feel an extreme delicacy
in presiding at his trial, A rumor
that Judge Sanborn would be asked
to try the case was denied, however,
by those close to the court. But yes
day morning Judge Williams sent lor
District Attorney House and his as
sistant in the case, j, II. Harrod, and
Martin s. Murphy, Allis' attorneys
and at 10 O'Clock announced that
Judge Sanborn, of Minneapolis, one ol
the Judges of the United States Cir.
cult Court ofAppeals, would try the
cases. The Judge also remarked that
The attorneys might as well get ready
for trial, as Judge Sanborn was moi
coming 1000 miles to continue casei
he was asked to try.
Judge Sanborn is well known t
many Arkansas people and bears al
enviablo reputation among all whC
know him. lie is an able lawyer,
careful judge and gentleman ofmos
courteous bearing and demeanor.

LATEST FROM HAWAII.
The Steamer Australia Arrives in San
Francisco from Honololu.

The very latest news of the Hawa-
iian situation comes in the shape OF a
special dispatch from San Francisco,
announcing the arrival at that port of
the oceanic steamer, Australia, arrived
direct from the Hawaiian islands, at
9;20 O'Clock Saturday morning, bring
ing a small list of passengers and in
formation that no unusual occurrence
had disturbed the course of affairs at
the Hawaiian island Minister Willis
presented his credentials in due form
to the Provisional Government and
had been received as the accredited
representative of the United States
He had not made public his instruc-
tions from the United States. Secre-
tary Gresham's letter had not been
received or heard of, and SO far as
known by the public the Hawaiian
affairs are still IN statu quo.
Among the passengers on the Aus
tralia were the ex-United States con-
sui at Honolulu, II. W. Severance aud
wife, and Mrs. Adelaide S. Merritt
and daughters.
In an interview with representa-
tive of the Associated Press immedi-
ately on the arrival of the steamer,
ex- Consul Severance said: "No one
at Honolulu has heard about the res
toration of the Queen beng intended
by President Cleveland There was
no talk of bloodshed or resistance. In
fact, so far as | have been able to
learn, all the recent excitement over
Honolulu affairs appears to have been
stirred up in this country. The Pro-
visional Government is not making
special preparations to protect itself
by force against the return to power
Of the Queen, and had not received
any large invoice of arms, SO far as !
know. Public sentiment on the 49,
land toward the Queen and toward
the Dole Government is much the
same as it has been
"Do you think there will be serious
trouble if the United States attempts
to depose the Provisional Govern
mentp asked the reporter
al have no opinion on that subject"
was the reply. "Such an emergency
has not risen and was not contempat-
ed by anybody"
The other passengers who were
seen said the same things as Mr.. Sew
erance. All cause for disturbance or
excitement was totally absent at Hon
olulu when the steamer left.

Large Damage Suits.

The heaviest personal damage suits
which have been filed against any sim
gle railway company in the state Of
Texas for some time past are those
just filed in the Smith county District
court at Tyler, Texas, against the Ty-
Ter & Southern branch of the Cotton
Belt system, as follows;
Annie r. McMahan, for herself and
two minor children, for 100000; Burl
Wheeler, $25,OO5; Mrs. S. G. Raspber-
ry, 100000. The suits grow out of
the locomotive boiler explosion, which
occurred at the Tyler & Southeastern
depot in that city in the early part of
last spring, in which julius Raspber-
ry was instantly killed and Hugh Nc
Mahan received injuries from which
he died in few hours Burl Wheel
or was the engineer of the ill-fated
engine and received severe injuries
from the explosion.

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.

w. E. Shannahan, Ex-City Clerk of
Hot Springs and editor of the Daily
Graphic at that place, is reported to
be badly injured, as the result of
istic encounter with Police Sergeant
kirkpatrick, growing out of pre-
vlous controversy It appears that
Mr.. Shannahan had caused number
of dodgers to be struck of, stating
that his paper the Graphic, would
contain the Burkhardt letter. The
boy was approached by a policeman
and ordered not TO throw the dodgers
on the street, that if he did he would
run him in. The Graphic of Saturday
evening referred to it in a way saying
the policeman who made the boy stop
it, had at one time been indicted for
highway robbery, and asked who
ordered him to stop the boy?
Yesterday afternoon Shannahan, in
company with young Mr.. Emmett
Kerr, was walking down Central
avenue from his Office toward home
on Oak street, aud when passing
along the sidewalk opposite Mazzia's
was asked by Sergeant kirkpatrick
"what he put that piece in the paper
about him yesterday for" when Shan.
nahan said "let us talk about it," The
two stepped little aside and only
word or two was passed when the
Sergeant struck Shannahan in the
nose and followed up the licks so fast
that the latter was at once rendered
powerless to defend himself His
nose was mashed into a jelly aud his
cheek bone fractured and it is feared
a wound on the head has fractured
his skull.
Mr. Shannahan is quite well known
in this city, where he has been a fre-
quent visitor for several years past.
He is regarded as q mild hammered
and peaceable man, who would not be
expected to seek trouble, The diff
Guilty in which he was involved. in
this instance, no doubt, had lis incep-
tion in the Loughrn trouble, with
which Shannahan has been unfortun-
ately connected. On Kirkpatrick's
part the ASSAULT IS regarded as wholly
unWarranted

WORK OF A MOB.

The true inwardness of the killing
of Dunk casters, colored, in Cass
county, about SIX miles out from
Queen City, Tex, on the night of the
10th instant, has been developed by
legal inquiry, and the facts made
public by telegraphic report of the
tragedy, sent out from Queen City
which gives the following statement
of the afTail:
About week ago Daniel Casters, a
brother of the man killed, was sus-
pected by some Of having stolen some
meat and syrup from a neighbor and
was arrested by posse Of citizens but
made his escape before he reached the
hands of officers. On the night of the
10th it seems that crowd got to-
gether and started out to find the
thief. They first went to his mothers
house and searched it, but falling to
find him they thea went to Dunk
Casters and woke him up and told
him that he must go and show them
where his brother was. Dunk told
them that he did not know where his
brother was, that he had been gone
several days, refused to go and was
shot dead with a shotgun. Justice
Powell went out and held an inquest
over the body and learned the facts as
above stated.

with rose clusters and their foliage.
A similar cloth has u goodsized cen

band Of flowers at least yard wide.
The flowers are two shades of pink,
chrysanthemums Of medium size

factory actress on the American stage
than Marie Wainwright, who apart
from her own charm and talents is

The Siberian Question.

The far reaching inquiry which has
been and is yet, for that matter, made
into the outrageous treatment Of Rus
sian political prisoners in the Siberian
prisons will receive new impetus in
this country at least, from the public
ity now being given to the case Of
the five Russian conyicis who were
recently landed at San Francisco by
an American vessel. The men escaped
from Siberia, and, although neither Of
them were political offenders, the con-
vct who has spent time in Siberia APP
peals to American sympathes as no
other criminal could. SO much has
been written and said Of the horrors
of life In Russia's bleak prison coun-
try that men who come out Of that

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter thanothers and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
atiye; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyerS
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed On every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

that to men are indescEibabe and
