THE NEW PAUL hAUVAR.
The remarkable success achieved by
Paul Kauvar" was the incentive which
prompted the late Steele Mackaye in
rewriting this remarkable play. which
has ben for eight years presented to the
American public, always leaving remin
scenes of the most thrilling climaxes,
startling situations and impressive did-
logues and noteworthy for its grand
literary merits. There is no question
but Mr.. Mackaye was the greatest of
American authors. each of his produc
tons being masterpieces in their diff
ferent lines. Oi0 has but to recall the
successes he has written. dear old
Hazel Kirk which will always be
remembered for it's beautiful story,
homelike characters and delightful

Mad acknowledged by our greatest
critics to be in intensity. conception
of characters and the drawing out
of them a play that added to his al
ready achieved fame. However. Paul
Kauvar" was always Steele Mackay's
greatest pride, and he began the new
version. on which he labored for a long
period, and when the fms was complet-
ed he had for the American public,
undoubtedly the greatest play that has
ever been written. The central figure
Paul Kauvar," was changed into a
different parsonage entirely while none
of the many characteristics or poetic
qualifications were taken from the old
Paul The story itself was enhanced
by even more interesting happenings
and love and comedy. Eugene Robin

years, promises an entire new produc-

excursions to the little towns in the
neigh borhood, which, although mainly
Carlist, receive the young king and his
mother with great friendliness. The
last great day at San Sebastian was
the unwilling of the statue of Admiral
Oguendo. When the queen laid the
first stone of the pedestal of this
statue some years ago, King Alfonso,
(more popularity known as "Alfonsito'')
was a baby in arms, and his
Austrian nurse had great diff
Guilty in keeping him still. While
his mother was addressing the
aristocratic assemblage which had
been invited for the occasion, in pa.
triotic speech, and the princesses were
gravely listening, 'Alfonsito" thought
it more amusing to kiss his hand and
smile to the handsome young ladies
around him, and his mother at last
put an end to his pranks by smart
tap from her fan. This time he was
more conscious Of his royal dignity,
though in private he is still as boyish
as ever.
He is capital billiard player, bit he
occasionally leaves the game to have

each was waiting for the other to make
the first lead. For more than ten min
utes they watched and waited. The
roaring and snxrling we heard when
they first met had ceased. They made
no sound now "a they watched for
chance to spring.
Our own nerves were trembling I'M
der the strain when at last the two
great beasts rose in the air at the same
instant, and like catapaults, came to-
gether with thud that could have
been heard two hundred yards away.
They dropped to the ground, and for
almost ten minutes all we could make
out was two great brown bodies roll
ing over and over in the death strug-
gle. They made no cutlery of any kind,
but every few seconds we could hear
their powerful jaws come together
with snap like the closing of WELL
oiled steel strap.
Finally they began to weaken. and
as their struggles grew less violent we
could see that both of them were COW
cred with blood, while their flesh was
torn TO shreds- In five minutes more
the fight was over and the two giants
of the forest were stretched out at full
length on the ground, clasped in each
others limbs, just as two playful kit
tens sometimes lie down together.
They struggled feebly a little longer
and then both of them lay perfectly
still. Both were dead when we got to
them, and / never saw animals so torn
to pieces. The entrails of both were
torn out and scattered over the ground
where they had fought, and in their
necks were great ragged holes. from
which the blood had flowed in streams
while they were still fighting. They
each had score of wounds that wduid
have killed any animal with less
tenacity of life.-St Louis Globe
Democrat.

ARE ASKED TO PAY
SANTA FE AND FRISCO EACH HAVE
A BIG DAMAGE SUIT.
Mr.. Hallowen Wants Pay for the Loss Of
His Foot-The Santa Fe is Charged With
Furnishing Cars Improperly Ventilated
and With Negligence--Oscar Thinks
Bow With Two Good Feet is Worth Five
Thousand Dollars More Than . Boy
With One Foot--Frsico Ought to Put
a Block in Their Switches.

Their were two suits for damages
filed in the district court yesterday
against railroad companies; one
against the Santa Fe and one against
the Frisco. Both suits are against A.
F. Walker, J. j. McCook and j. c. Will
son as receivers and the roads named
are made co-defendantS.
The first suit fled was that of n. s.
HallowelI Mr. Hallowell sets out in
his qetition that on the 23rd day Of Oc-
tober, 1894, he entered a car belonging
to the Santa Fe TO ride to Coldwater.
He states that the car was IN poor con-
dition; that il was not properly yenti-
ated, and that by means of the poor
ventilation he became sick and was
forced to walk out on the platform.
That when stading on the platform the
cars were jerked, throwing him to the
ground, MASKING his foot and ankle in
such a manner that amputation was
necessary.
Mr. Hallowell sets out in his petition
that he has endured great pain and has
been compelled to pay $500 to surgeons
and for nurses, and that by reason of
the negligence of the railroad company
he has been rendered unable to do
business and make a living. He asks
for damages TO the amount of $4,000.
The second case was that of Oscar
Felix. This is a result of the injury re-
ceived by the little colored boy, Eff
ford Felix, years Of age. who caught
his foot in the frog of a Frisco switch
on the 18th day of last December and
was run over by Frisco engine, cut
ting of his foot.
1t was claimed at the time that the
railroad company settled with the par
ents of the boy Efford Felix and gave
them $500. This case is, however,
brought by the father.
Oscar Felix represents to the court
as cause Of action that he is old and
feeble and that he is deprived of the
help of his boy. That the railroad
company was negligent in failing TO put
a block in the frog which would have
prevented the accident.
He claims that the services of Felix
would have been worth $4,000 TO him If
he had not been crippled and he asks
the court to award him that amount.
