Felix Morris. the American character
com edian, who Will appear at the Grand
this evening in "A Game of Cards" and
behind the Scenes" arrived in Topeka
from AtchisOn this morning and is at the
ThrOop with his company and his wife
A JOURNAL reporter found him on the
stage of the Grand with several men,
bers of the company rehearsIng a scene
from Behind the Scenes"
He is not large man and is forty five
years of age. He and his wife have for
several years made their home at OcOn-
omowoc, Wis The name. Mr. Morris
says, is Indian and means @'Cave of the
winds"
For several years he and his wife were
with Ro5ina NOl1es and he was with her
when she last visited Topeka six years
ago. She had a small house and Mr. Nor
ris remembers she was very mad about
it, For only two years has Mr.. Morris
been starring and he Is battered by the
success he has had
lie is very retiring man and did not
care much to talk about himself, but ne
is Il pleasant gentleman and obllging.
Il was born in Wales forty five years
ago." he said. MY father was very
devOuI church man. aud vi lie the wish
of my life was to become a actor, he
would not hear of it. Thus A. was that

ted in France and Scotland, and was A
graduate of Guys hospital. London 1
didn't like it and of course didn't get
along well with it. The best did was
to get job washing bottles and mixing
powders IN an apothecary shop.
'tIhe impulse to become an actor was
too strong for me and IN spite of the fact
that my father was very angry about it I
quit the business and sailed for America
determined to make the effort anyway.
STOCK companies were the thing then
and Albany, n. Y, had one The city of
New York frightened me and | drifted
up there. I approached the manager in
fear and trem bling and told him my story
and after he had spent some time in try
ing to dissuade me from my object |
sured him that my means we're very low
So that III pity, 1 think. he gave me a
place selling tickets al the gallery door
at little more than enough to pay my
board
This was terrible disappointment,
but l stuck to it and finally one night NY
time came when one of the mem Ders of
the com pany was absent I took the
part, small though it was. and they said
did we'll with It. 1t was not long after
that that [ got on to play small parts.
L have been acting ever since
Il tried managing once or twice but
did not do we'll at 1t.
For d long time I was the comedian
of the old San Francisco theater
think my first great hit was there in On
Change which I afterwards took to
London and played for 800 nights
Mr.. Morris was much Interested in the
election and said he was glad that Kan
sas had gone into the hands Cf the Re
pnblicans again. He was much interest
ed in Governor LeWelling to the extent
that he thought he must be a w elshman
You will miss a great deal il you do
not see see Mr. Morris this evening.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Nov. IA Missouri
Kansas q Texas train No. II that was

WATTERsON NOT DONE.
He Is still Busy Excoriatine Grover
Cleveland.

LOUISVILLE, Nov 14mssHaven't the
Democrats played the devEF" said Henry
Watterson, when requested Yesterday to
give his opinion of Tuesdays defeat.
When asked who was to blame, he re-
piled:
..Why. Cleveland, Of course. more than
any other man On earth. It's all his
fault / don't know what is to become
of the Democratic party I'm not certain
whether we've got any Democratic party
or not. That's the first question that is
suggested by the Congressional elections
Are we real political organiza-
ton or mere agglOmeration of
factions, thrown together by the up
heaval of the timesg IF we ever settle
that dispute then the next inquiry is
what are we going to do to recover from
the terrible licking we have just re-
ceived.
Grover Cleveland was never a con
sistent tariff reformer. When he be-
came president Of the United States it
took him three years to find a policy.
soon as he was caught In 1887, when
he wrote that first famous message, he
got SO scared about it that ten days later
he published an Interview ia the New
York Herald, taking the back bone out Of
the whole thing.
"Whom Will the Democrats nominate
in 1867 On. my Lord, man, don't talk
about that A strong effort Will be
made in the next Democratic ma
tionaI convention to send the tariff
issue to the rear and raise the strange
banner Of free silver. This may split the
party in a thousand pieces or destroy it
altogether. The Democrats could never
win on the issue of free silver. Yet we
must be prepared to see the attempt
made to commit Democracy to that tinan-
cial heresy
I could not see a gIoomier outlook for
the democratic party than the present

ATcHIsoN PRISONERS STRIKE.
They Refuse to Work on the Rock Pill
Because of Csrievances.

ATcHIsON, Nov 1.-THE prisoners at
the police station struck yesterday. and
absolutely refused to work on the rock
pile A committee waited on the chief,
saying that all the men on the chain gang
belonged to trades unions which opposed
convict labor. They said that if the city
wanted rock broken for macadam zing
purposes it should employ idle men about
town. Another grievance was that the
prisoners we're allowed only 80 cents
day on their fines, whereas they thought
the prisoners ought to be allowed a dol
lar a dav.
Chief White ordered every one Of the
strikers to be confined in the dark cell
They will be kept on dict Of bread and
water until they decide to abandon the
strike, and 60 to work.
