Two More Speakers DecIine.

There was another Democratic izzle, last
night, at the meeting near Schmidt's brew
cry. somewhat strange to say, considering
the location. The speakers advertised were
Messrs. Healing and Siegfried. The crowd
numbered about two dozen and the young
orators did not care TO waste their efforts
upon so few. They did not appear at all
and the crowd was harangued by a Ger
mar speaker from Logansport. He met with
a chilly reception and did not protract his
remarks to great length.

Empire-"Cfty sports.v

The four Nelson sisters, acrobats. who ap-
pear at the Empire the first half of this
week with the "City Sports" Vaudeville
Company, are a surprise in their line. The
young women are billed as weighing 620
pounds gross, and they look 1t. There is
little hint in their appearance to suggest
the remarkable agility displayed by them
in their act, which includes several difficult
tricks attempted by no one else. Among
other feats. the largest sister makes a let
ter X of herself between two heavy ladders
that she holds erect and supports the re-
naming 425 pounds, or t~hereabouts, Of the
other sisters. A better exhibition of rapid
and graceful tumbling has never been
shown here. The ollo includes Alice Wren
and Minnie DAILY, vocalists; the old favor
ties. Matt Flynn and Mile. Zitella; Snyder
and Buckley, musical comedians, and the
Sisters Arnold, in character songs and
duets. The ballet is a feature of the per-
Torrance. Quite a number Of intricate fig
ures are executed. In this act is intro
duced the dancing of Miss Lancaster. Miss
Lancaster, in addition to French and Span
ish dances, does the old-time Virginia es-
sence as good as any man. Between the fig

tanning speciality company. He is known as
Sampson, and does a number of incredible
things in the way Of showing his strength.
His act is only one of nearly q dozen. but
it is the most surprising of the perform

in some time. Besides this speciality are
acts by the Brumings, a clever couple;
Baily and Boydell. Lillian Alderman, who
does a graceful song and dance; a witty
Irish team, Carroll and Norton; an aero
battle team, Arnold and Caswell; Dilks and

IN THE DAYS OF TOM SAVERS.
Labouohere's Description of Scenes
Attending a Prize Fight Thirty
Years Ago.
From the London Truth.

From the London Truth.
Among my many sins, have attended a
prize fight, and for the outpour of rank
blasphemy and reckless blackguardism it
ran an execution at Newgate or Horse
monger lane Jail very close. The police
were dead against prize fights, which were
excuses for gigantic form of extortion
Two ruffians of the lowest class contracted
to batter one another about in order to ex-
tract the guineas from the swells, the
tOffs and the supporters of the noble
art of self-defense." A programme
had to be secretly ARRANGED, a
for the army men, the swells about town
and the scum of the metropolis, who
lived upon the excitement or the pelf of
prize fights. There was a certain official
countenance of these illegal mills" The
editor of Bells Life in London constituted
himself the arbiter on these occasions.
This was the organ of the prize fighter.
The editor received the stakes deposited,
acted as referee, and afterward described
the fights in jargon delightfully."- humor-
Gus. Tapping the claret," lone in the
bread basket, +" "a rouser on the conk"
were all phrases invented by the editors
of Bells Life.
The night before it was necessary to go
to a sporting pub TO get ''the office" and
to receive Tor valuable consideration the
special railway ticket. The vigil of the
fight was usually spent in the wild
west" for in those days there was no
closing hour. Restaurants and public
houses could keep open as long as they
liked. Races were run in the Haymarket
at O'Clock in the morning, and about 4
or the "swells," all in evening dress,
would assemble at the railway station,
each one in charge of a specially appoint
ed protector. The scene at the railway
sta ton was indescribable The officials
made themselves scarce and the station
was handed over to mob law. On the
platform the pocket of every unprotected
man or youth was emptied, and when the
train started amidst chorus Of obscenity
and blasphemy no one knew the
destination. 1t might be q deserted
chalk pit, or an old quarry or a
lonely wood or river marsh. Suddenly
the train would stop and away went the
excursionists tramping over field and
meadow The principals were mufied up.
The attendants carried the ropes and
stakes and when the ring was pitched
everyone who had sovereign left was
feeced to buy the colors Of the favorite-

cost pence. l forbear to describe the
hideous blasphemy that soiled the morn
ing air, or the mad excavations during the
mill. When champions eye was bunged

Baths and Beer in Germany.
From the Boston Transcript.

Baths are an unknown quantity in this
nation, except the weekly scrub in the
public bathhouse. as bathrooms in private
houses are very seldom seen; and when
they do exist, the primitive. not to say
clumsy, arrangements for heating the
water and filing the tubare astonishing to
Englishmen and Americans. An invariable
direction from German physician when
called to see foreign patient is: Don't
take a bath again until / see you;p
whereas, the patient would often like 10
reply: II hope 1 shan't see YOU again
until you've had one.n They think the
daily bath kind of madness, and it is
only too evident, among the ladies and
gentlemen, that they are not guilty of it.
If you recommend bath to a servant,
you will hear in reply; "Oh, it doesn't
agree with me, took one once, and it
made me very i'll" And yet, as rule,
Germans are healthy and even tough in
their constitutions so that it must be
beer that does it, for they begin to i'm
bibe IL in infancy. Look at the third
class passengers in railway station In
a family group, the parents will give each
child in turn a drink from their beer
glass, which they take TOO, as naturally
as one would expect them TO drink milk.
And yet, TO see intoxication is rare; men
seldom, women never.

YALrIDzE WAS FIoKLE.
The Charmer He Saw Last Was the
One He Loved Best-An Albanian
Involved.
From the New York Sun.


.a From the New York Sun.
London, May 19.-The tranquility of
public affairs throughout almost the
whole of Europe, in the past few days,
gives prominence to a series of incidents
inthe experience of individuals, here and
there, so out of the ordinary that no no.
velist would dare use them. The most
remarkable of these queer stories comes
from ST. Petersburg. 1t concerns Michael
Yaltidze, his wife, and an American
young woman. More than twelve years
ago Yaltidze, then a schoolboy, fell in love
with a pretty girl of his own age in Hun
gary. They were married on short
acquaintance The parents of YaltidZe,
when they learned of the match, sent him
to America, under an assumed
name He settled in Alabama,
where the iron discoveries of the
past few years enabled him to make a
large fortune Recently he fell in love
with an American girl, told her as much
of his story as he thought was good for
her to know and then undertook to escape
from the early bond. The marriage could
be dissolved only by the ecclesiastical
court, which demands cloud of wit
nesses to the alleged misconduct, and
must have solid reasons in the shape of
current coin for completing the investiga-
ton before the parties grow old and tooth
less. There are special lawyers who for
a lump sum furnish advice, documents,
willing witnesses, and warrant that the
spiritual court will DO the rest.
YaltidZe directed one of these to pre-
pare his case and soon after started to
Russia to see the matter through. He
stopped at London, Paris, and finally
Wiesbaden, where he made the acquainJ-
ance of a charming Russian lady, who is
to be an artist. She soon supplanted the
American girl in his affections. He pro
longed his visit for weeks, and so dlsre-
garded the conyentionalities that some
scandal arose. He declared his passion
and asked her to marry him as soon as he
obtained divorce from his American
wife. which he said he was expecting by
each mail. He was inCautlons enough to
give the name and address OF the Amerl-
ran girl as those of his wife.
FINALLY he hurried on TO Russia to see
how the case against his real wlte was
progressing. The lawyer informed MIN
that he had had hard work to get tue
case in proper shape, but it was all right
now. No perjury woulu De ueeueu, 40
the misconduct of his wife was notorious.
He then explained that the wife had been
living for some time under a stage name
at Wiesbaden, and for some weeks had
been VIGOROUSLY intimate with wealthy
American, giving his client his own
American alias.
The amazed Yaltidze demanded that he
stop his silly joking. The lawyer ae,
clared that ne was in earnest, ana caIleu
in a detective to corroborate him. The
latter entered, What did you say" he
asked. was the name of the gentleman
