A TRAGEDY.
A Man k;,ed by Falling Down
stairs.

| Yesterday morning about . clock
". ID. Cahill, IA miner recently ar
rived from South Camp, WAS found
at the foot of the stairway leading up
| into the Briggs House, unconscious
and bleeding from a wound back of
| the ear.
| An APPEAL reporter learned that
the man got on II spree Wednesday
night. In his wanderings he was
accompanied by youth named Ca
hill, though rot relative.
About 2 o'clock Thursday morning
he was seen in Rosenbrock' s saloon,
where he spent some money foI
drinks. After visiting other saloons
he was seen about an hour later in
the strests of fast town." quite in
toxicated. Here he was heard to
make remarks to the effect that some
person whom he thought was his
friend had not treated him right and
that he would do" him yet.
He must have spent all his money
before going to that section of town,
"a he had attempted to get credit at
two saloons on the way.
Officer Picker saw Canill going up
the stairs of the hotel, and as he was
pretty drunk asked him if he could
find his room. With an oath he re-
piled:
"Of course l can, or | wouldn't be
trying"
Picker concluding that the man
was able to shift for himself left him.
Cahill's room was on the third |
floor of the hotel, and the theory is
advanced that he fell backwards |
down the stairs leading to the third
floor. his head coming in contact with
the steps, inflcting the wound which
subsequently caused his death. !;
He was evidently dazed by N"

tairs leading to the street. After ,
eaching the foot of the stairway he
became unconscious and was ,

Another theory is that someone

led lay in wait for him at the head
f the stairs, and dealt him the blow,
moving that everything would 60 to
how death was caused by falling down

M. Durand, retired pork butcher, is sup

butcher in America, leaves him all his for

on-the-oea. Nj. Durand hastens to 1t, fol-
lowed by all his family and his boating
friends of Bougival. Received with open
arms by the inhabitants of Gernouille-on-
the-Sea, Nj. Durand gives a superb fete on
board the Leopard. He makes himself cap
tain, discharges the crew, and invites his
canoeing friends to take a trip manning
the yacht themselves.

There is Travail a Cheval sans Selle"
by Miss Margaret, who, 1 fancy, is an Irish
girl. Travail in French means work. =" and
this lady does her work well, riding bare
back. There is an Illusion by the clowns,
a piece Of foolery. Then the clown Pieran-
toni (all these clowns are given Italian
names) displays his jackass Bebe 1t Is
jackass trained to refuse to leave the ring
when his time comes to CO. When his
clown master looks at him he does his
work in good style, with a special trick of
dashing round the circle and then turning
like flash upon his tracks, much quicker
than horse or pony. When his master
turns his back. the jackass simply lies
down on the carpet. No one can bulge
him, though half dozen stablemen in blue
suits with brass buttons gather round him
gravely, tug at him and are obliged to lug
him of at last, as If he were a Saratoga
trunk There is more serious circus rid
ing, Miss Ada Powell on four horses, very
good and quite the same as everyone has
seen. Most circus work is good work, no
matter in what land you see 1t. Circus peo-
pie have their own peculiar ways and one
of them Is honest work. You can become q
comedian by having your cards printed. 1t
is different to stand upon a bareback horse.
With respect to the serious riding of this
Paris circus, ii appears to have but two
peculiaritieS. One is what / have men,
to the ring. Thus every motion, every
shade of difficulty conquered by the per-
former, is brought to the attention of the
clients. They observe more closely and ap-
preciate the riders skill more than they
might II separated from them by the dis
lance of great ring.
The second feature of the riding gives at
least one act, never omitted, of the "haute
eccIe'' of ordi lary horseback -riiu-. IT Is
simply horsemanship on some beautifully
trained stallion.
Then. last of all. the negro Chocolat must
bite the dust again. butchered this time to
make a Paris holiday.
The act is called "A human target" Cho-
colat is naturally the target. And all the
little children COO with joy when he has
knives thrown into his back, because they
know that Chocolat is never really hurt.
There Is a special reason why any one can
laugh innocept:y IN Paris q. tie s-eS.arIe
of a negro clown who always gets the worst
of it, The special mark of negroes in Paris
is that they are socially as good as anybody
else. There will be negro swells from Hayti
or from Martinique in the audience to keep
up the credit of the race, negro sweIls
whose French is perfect, whose educa ton
has been had in universities, whose ways

Therefore Chocolat need not feel at dis
advantage merely for q reason Of race.- -
