DISCOMFORTS OF ACTING.
Some Inside Facts of the Daily Life
of Stage People.

The janitOr has an important bear
ing on the actors condition, which
finds its expression in his playing and
possibly on his nervous organizat alton
He supplies the house and, in most
cases, furnishes quarters for the actors
such as no self-respecting slave owner
would in the old days have condemned
a slave to occupy.
For the public nothing is too good
For the actor, on the other hand any
thing is good enough. Instead of
silken draperies, he finds only tat
tered curtain at the window, if, IN
deed, he find a curtain at all, or even
a window which it might cover.
Instead of soft, comfortable chairs
one wooden chair, none too clean, or
a chair minus a back, will be the only
seat, and not infrequently, if he
wishes to sit down, he must do so on
his trunk. Instead of delicately tinted
walls, he will find dirty walls which
have not been treated even to a coat
of whitewash for years. While in the
auditorium soft carpet covers the
uOOl, III IIlC dClOl IOOlu IL CARPET
rarely exists, or, if by chance there be
something which once was a carpet, It
is 80 dirty that it would be better
away. The washing appliances of the
actors room, if they are found at all,
usually consist of small basin with
a tap Of running water.
Most people would expect that, as
the winter is the theatrical season,
and the paints used by the actors are
made with grease, hot water would
be at hand. But this is rarely the
case, and in many Instances running
water in the dressing-rooms Is IN
known. 1t is not uncommon for actors
to refrain from using the basins, pre-
fering to remove the make up" as
we'll as possible with vaseline, and to
wait until the hotel is reached to com
plete this portion of the toilet. Tin
basins and buckets are not the worst
that [ have seen ION the road" for
once the water was in dirty, battered,
old lard-ins, and basins had to be
bought by our manager.-Forum.

GOWNS FOR BICYCLING.
A New Style That Looks Oud Until
You Get Used to It.

Women bicycle riders and dress re-
formers unite in designing and de-
handing trousers. The latest sort
looks for all the world exactly like a
skirt. This is claimed for all ''re-
form" affairs, but for all that they look
queer and not skirt-like. This kind
is divided only a little above the
calf Of the leg, and from that point
UP it is one 1t seems like poking fun
at the new garment to so describe 1t,
but it Is really pair of trousers with
the seat so long that the legs do not
begin till below the knees. A deep
founce Is set On the skirt just above
the dividing line, which is not divided,
but hangs just az any fOunce would
on any skirt, and in 80 hanging covers
entirely the divided part Of the skirt.
The bother of drapery about the an
kleS is thus reduced to the minimum,
and at the same time there Is drapery.
For use on the bicycle such a skirt
is almost perfection. There 1t looks
just like any other skirt only there is
no trouble about the skirt not pulling
through evenly, for the greater part
Of the skirt is that which at about
the calf of the leg separates entirely
into divided and independent com
partmepts. The fiOunce is made with

whtel use. a boX-plait coming on
either side, so that the flounce itself is
sure to pull through with sufficient
suIIness to either side, and so look
exactly like a skirt. When walking no
me could possibly suspect a reform

Milwaukee, Aug. 10.-In a riot last

were injured and eleven arrests were
made.

jured.
Probably 1000 residents, principally
of the eleventh ward, attempted to
hold another mass meeting in violation
OF the proclamation issued by Mayor
Koch, in which he forbade holding
public gatherings on the south side.
The people were made defiant by in
cendiary speeches at the mass meet
ing Wednesday, and when small
squad of police sent early in the even
ing tried peaceably to deter the crowds
they resisted. Later squads Of from 800
to 400 people came from all directions
and gathered on the triangle. Rein
forcements were sent for and when
about 100 policemen in charge of
Chief of Police Jansen arrived the mob
was charged. Under command of
chief Jansen the police drew clubs and
drove the mob in all directions.
The crowd had no intention of leav-
ing the scene Of disturbance and after
marching up side streets for nearly
half a block, returned armed with
stones and threw them at the officers
infiicting the injuries related above.
The mob was finally dispersed.

SITTING BULLS LAST MEN.
Starved Out of the British Possessions
They Return to the United States.

The commissioner Of Indian affairs
has received information from Cap
tain w. H. Clapp, acting Indian agent
at Fort Berthold agency, in North
Dakota. of the arrival of the last rem
nant Of the followers of Sitting Bull.
who fed into the British possessions
after the Custer massacre in 1876.
The return of these Indians COM
pletes a work that the government
has had on it's hands since the day
Of the killing of General Custer.
In 1887 the privy council of Canada,
with the approval of the governor
general, officially notified the United
States of the presence of the Sioux
Indians within the British possessions,
stating that owing to their destitute
condition permits for the purchase of
limited quantities of ammunition had
been granted them, but that their pres
ence was source Of grave apprehen-
sion and anxiety on the part of both
the Indian and white pOpula ton of
that part of Canada, and requesting
the United States government without
delay to take such steps as would in
duce the Indians and any others who
might similarly cross the boundary
line to return to their reserves in the
United States.
In accordance with this request a
commission, consisting of General Ter
~ and A. J. Lawrence, was appointed
by the president to proceed to Fort
Walsh and negotiate with Sitting Bull
for his peaceful return to the United
States and settlement at some agency.
At the council Sitting Bull and his
chiefs declined all proposals made by
the commission and announced their
desire and intention to remain in the
British possessions. After the close
of the council the Canadian authori-
ties conferred with the Indians, warn
ing them that no help whatever be-
yOnd protection could be expected
from the British government, and that
a crossing of the line by any of the
young men with hostile intent would
be considered an act of hostility by
both governments. With this full IN
derStanding the Indians adhered to
their former decision, and the COM
mission returned, and Sitting Bull and
his followers were declared no longer
wards of the government.
The Indian bureau, however, con-
tinued to make orertures to the big
chief. Sitting Bull at last consented
to return, and did so, followed by a
large number of his band, who were
assigned to different reservations
Now the last of the hostiles who have
remained stubborn in their refusal to
return to the United States have come
back. There are fOrty-two in this !
party, now on it's way to Fort Ber- |
thold, and they are in a pitiable con-
dition, without provisions or suitable |
clothing. Many even Of the old men, |
Captain Clapp says, are on foot, and |
progress will necessarily be very slow. |
Two or three are seriously sick from |
exposure and fatigue, and one Of them
is likely to die on the road.

WHAT "MARTIAL LAW" MEANS.

President Cleveland's proclama t1on
has directed general attention to the
scope and meaning Of the phrase
martial law" The following will
therefore be of peculiar interest:
Law imposed by military power:
That military rule or authority which
exists in time Of war and is conferred
by the laws of war in relation to per-

and which eXtinguishes or suspends
for the time being civil rights and
the remedies founded upon them, so
far as this may be necessary in ORDER
to the full accomplishment of the pJr-
pose Of war. The person who exercises
martial law is, however, liable to an
action for any abuse Of the authority
thus conferred. 1t is the application Of

Of force of persons and property wit
