A LA AFTER THE BALL
A Real Enactment Of That HAIRED
Chestnut

Real Enactment Of That Hoary-Haired
Chestnut
Mrs. Higgins of Banning street enter
tanned quite number of friends at her
home last evening and every body had
an enjoyable time. Only one thing
marred the universal pleasure and that
was fight betwee some of the guests.
One of them, a gentleman, escorted
lady named Miss White to a saloon near
by for the avowed purpose of letting her
wet her WHISTLE" She waited at the
side door while the gentleman rushed the
growler. When he returned a scene very
similar to that described in latter tbs
ball" was enacted, for there stood Miss
White talking to another man.
Down went the beer, all down the gen.
tleman's throat, but at this juncture
the fellow who had been conversing with
Miss White and who, as In the song, hap
pened to be her brother and lust little
the worse for beer, entered a vigorous
protest against such an inhospitable
waste of good liquor and started to fight
with the gentleman friend of his sister.
For about three minutes it looked as
though they had undertaken a contract
to sweep the streets on short notice, but
by the time the gentleman friend had
lost patent leather shoe and had his sock
torn off of the other foot and Mr.. Whites
eve had been made black, a large crowd
batants apart.
The patrol wagon was sent for, but
everybody had got into o good humor
when it arrived, SO the trip was made
for nothing.
And the band played on.

-he hates to find others interested or, per-
haps, discovering clews. He wants every
thing himself. Look lhow down he has
been on the well-known Captain Morse,
who is one of the shrswdest of detectives.
Yes it is jealousy, and he, remem bering
my success in two cases in this portion
of the state, showed his enmity, and after
l challenged Gibson he called out: Get
off the sage. Hire your own hall.
Others in Gibson's audience followed
suit. Then came my arrest and later my
case was heard.
Detective Lees swore with vehemence
that it was a wonder that there was not
an earthquake. "That he saw defendant
Tyndall at Gibson's lecture, and il It had
not been for him and another officer
there would have been a rot" This
fact goes for what it is worth, for the
audience was small and composed most
ly of women. Those who were witnesses
in the case kind of laughed when Lees
swore to this statement. Anyway his
entire statement show ed enmity and jeal-
ousy. San Francisco wants Parkhurst.

They Think They Have Unearthed an Organ
lied Robbers Banc
Complaints were filed before Justice
Morrison yesterday by Detective Good
man charging Ed Lang. Harry Williams
Joseph Riley, alias J. H. Davis, and
Frank Moss with burglary. 1t is alleged
that they entered three houses IN this
city for the purpose of committing this
crime. The houses entered we're those
of r. 7. Vining, on the 21st; Alphonzo
Rueff, on the 18th, and Mrs. Campbell.
Quite a number of other charges will
be made against the qusrtetts.
BY the arrest of these men the police
think that they have succeeded in break
ing up gang of organized thieves who
have been operating all over the coast.
A mum Der of purglaries and robberes
have occurred here for some time past
and although the detectives have kept a
sharp lookout they have failed to get any
clues until recently.
1t was learned that in nearly every rob-
berry three men had been seen hanging
around the neighporhood, and they en-
ployed signals made bv a whistle. This
went along for some time, but at last the
officers discovered that three suspicious
men were rooming at a lodging house on
Wilmington street. Detectives Steele and
Goodman visited the place and found
Williams. Davis and Moss and placed
them under arrest Nothing but several
revolvers and billy were secu red.
A few days after the arrest registered
letter came to Riley from Ed Lang, in
San Francisco. Riley refused to receipt
for 1t. Detective Goodman telegraphed
to Chief Glass, who was then in that city,
and the latter caused the arrest of Lang.
The fellow had been employed as an ex-
pert electrician. An officer has been sent
after this man and is expected to return
in a few days, and then the men will be
arraigned.

"wings VIII Be Worn This Fall"

Does not each woman know that to en-
courage the fashion of bird ornaments re-
quires the destruction of millions Of birds
every year? Does she not know that farm
crops are laid waste, and noble elm trees
dying because the busy workers that
hunted worm and insect are killed for her
to wear? Do not women care that the
bird young are left to starve in their
nests in order that the bodies or wings of
the parent birds may be used as orna-
ments for them? The aigrettes, SO much
worn lately are the plumes of the white
heron. donnsd only during the nesting
season. Whole species OF birds are be-
coming extinct that every woman may
bedeck herself. Will not our thoughtful
and merciful women, who are promised
mercy as they show it, unite to prevent
this remorseless slaughter. Every wing,
plume or birds body bought this season
means the killing OF at least one other
bird to meet fashions demand. The
movement against hoops was successful.

Who will carry it on2 I hope all will

often. Let "anti-plumage leagues" be

Henry Germans Fight for Life
With a Bear
BRUIN CROSS FROM A JAG
The Animal Was an Alaskan Bear Who
Loves Beer
Constable Harvey Branscombe Kills tho
Brute by Firing Fourteen Bullets
Into His Carcass

Henry Germans right hand and arm is
a bundle of tattered and lacerated shredH
OF flesh, and Mr.. German is congratulate
ing himself that his injuries are no worse
than they are. He had an encounter with
an Alaskan bear late Sunday evening
that came near resulting in his death.
and did close with the demise of the
bear.
The fight between man and bear took
place at Bemis' road house in the Ca
huenga pass, eight miles from the city.
The bear has been one of tho attractions
of the place for two years past and has
usually been OF very peaceable and
friendly disposition. Visitors have made
it the custom to feed bruin and to pet
him, and not only this, they taught him
long draught of beer and dregs of wine,
they taught the bear to drink. He be-
came great lover of anything drinkable
hat contained alcohol. Bruin became
q confirmed topper. He acquired an appe-
tite for liquor that would 40 credit to any
confirmed drunk. He got so that he
would fill mp just like any of the rest of
the boys, and then 60 and lay down and
sleep it off. But when he was getting
warned to keep away from him, for he
was then most savage. He would growl
and paw at any one who came within the
reach of of his chain.
Sunday evening Mr.. German went to
feed bruin. He was recovering from a
two days drunk and was in one of his
most savage moods. German supposed
that he was not within reach of the chain
but he was mistaken. He no sooner eX-
tended his arm to pass the meat to the
bear than bruin gathered him in with
his fore paws. He caught German by the
right arm and scratched that member in
fearful shape.
Mr.. German cried for help. In the
meantime he fought with the wild and
infuriated animal for his life.
The bear took Germans hand into his
mouth and chewed it up.
CONSTABLE Harvey Branscombe and
Frank German came to the rescue. The
bear refused to loosen his hold and did
not do so until fourteen balls of 45-caliber
from Winchester were pumped into
him. Then bruin let 60, for he was dead.
1t was fortunate that assistance was so
near at hand or Mr.. Germans injuries
would have been more serious. As it was.
his hand and arm presented frightful
appearance. Dl. Choate took sixteen
stitches to bring the lacerated shreds to-
gether. If blood poisoning does not set
in the wounds will heal in the course of
time.

Some interesting points in the life Of
Nine. Modjeska, who is about to begin
her farewell tour of this country. are
printed out in new light by the author
of that new book dealing with theatrical
history and anecdote, Shakespeare .
Heroines on the Stage. He says: 'In
Modjeska's life the character of Ophelia
has played a curious part. 1t was the first
Shakespearean heroine she ever saw
upon the stage. When ittls girl in
Cracow. longing to become an actress,
an author, or a nun, she saw Fritz
Devrient play Hamlet, and was so capti-
waited BY the play that she went home to
commit the entire tragedy to memory,
and from that hour to discard Schiller for
new idol, Shakespeare. 1t was the first
Shakespearean character she ever acted
on the stage. Just at the beginning of
her career. after few roles in Polish
plays, she was given Ophela, In 1866.
and soon followed that with Portia and
Beatrice. 1t was the first Shakespearean
character. she acted on the American
stage. and the first of Shakespeare s
heroines whose words she gave in the

hour several flremen were fatally hurt and

pied two floors OF the building. While eight
tiremen were raising IN aerial truck on Me-
linda street the heavy presses OF the COM
pany on the second floor went through to the
basement with a crash that startled people
asleep in their beds amile away. The north
wall tumbled into the street. and seven OF
the flremen were buried in the debris. Rob-
ert Bowery and Charles Smedley soon died
from their injuries. Both OF Chief Ardagh's
legs were broken and he was compelled to
retire. The others hurt were Francis For
sytb, Robert Foster, James Davidson and
Harry Saunders.
At one time 1t looked az II the fire would
get beyond the control Of the flremen and
would sweep the whole west end OF the city.
The only thing that saved large portion Of
the city was the fall OF wet snow which
covered the roofs OF neighboring buildings
and saved them from taking fire.

While freight east-bound was running
along the base Of the snow-capped Alleghen.,
les, with the ice-bound Susquehanna below,
1t was suddenly submerged By an avalanche
OF dry snow, which coursed down the noun
tain side between Ritchie and Hyner Like
wheat from an elevator and with all the
treachery Of quicksand.
The train was covered almost the entire
length. Crews from the east and from the
west to the number Of several hundred
trackmen went to the rescue and worked
the train through the snow slides for dis
tapce OF flve miles.
rhe mail train ran the gantlet and scraped
the white wall, which pressed threateninRly
against the windows, almost crushing them.
While John Reynolds's engine was speed
ing along with train Of thirty loaded cars
the new fall OF snow rushed down the noun
tain sides like mighty food, carrying
with it stones and loose timber. The
scene was something frightful. A
terrible rushing noise attended the
slide, filling the valley and the gorges
with a swish and roar that were enough to
unnerye tho stoutest heart. Reynolds's train
was overwhelmed and in a few moments the
avalanche covered almost all or 1t.
