MISS LEE HAD A COLD.
That, To Some Extent, Took tho Life Out
Of Miss Horum Scarum

"a comedy-drama, which is supposed
to contain some bits OF legitimate
drama, Is the Miss Harum Scarum"
as produced at the Academy of Music
last night. The comedy part is quite
prevalent throughout all of the acts,
but unfortunately the central figure.
Miss Amy Lee. who supports and gives
life to the whole play, was unable to
appear at her best last night owing to
= severe cold.
Her vivacity made up somewhat for
her defect OF voice. Several brisk re-
hearsals Will be required to bring out
the real merit of the comedy. IA small
audience witnessed the performance.

PRETTY FAIR BOOTY
Highwaymen Hold Up a Southern Pa
cifc Train and Get About $4,000.
PASSENGERS HAD TO PUNGLE
There Was Nothing of Value In the
Express Car, but the Robbers
Got Away With All the
Registered Mail.

Grants Pass, Ore. July 1.-The
Southern Pacific overland train north
bound. was stopped last night at 1915
by three highwaymen near Riddles,
about 30 miles south of Roseburg.
Sticks of dynamite were placed on the
rails, which disabled the engine by
blowing the ilanges on the trucks and
causing her to stop. Taking the fire.

cd through the train. Every car was
searched. Nothing was obtained from
the express car for there was no trea-
sure on board. The Portland Tacoma.
Seattle and Victoria registered sacks
were rlfied. Tho passengers were also
searched. One of the highwaymen
took a hasty shot ut Conductor Kear-
ney without effect. One of the robbers
was about 5 feet II inches, light COM
plexion. light moustache. projecting
upper jaw. very heavy pointed chin.
two upper teeth projecting and high
cheek bones. He wore No. s shoe
with tacks in the bottom, and blue
overalls. The other was about : feet
s inches In height, but as he was in the
background a definite description could
not be rad.
Superintendent Fields. of the South
ern Pacific. in an hour after learning
of the holdup. had two parties on the
way to the scene OF the robbery.
AS soon as the passengers learned
the cause of the stoppage OF the train
they began TO secretc their money and
valuables. which they were afterwards
forced 10 relinquish. All the passen-
gers gave their cash to the robbers In
sums ranging from $500 to 800. The
total booty obtained. including the
money rifed from the registered mail
10 about $4,000. one-fourth OF which
was taken from the passengers. The
highwayman used the porter as a
guide. asking him at every berth. LADY
or gent?" Only the lower berths were
inspected and the women were not dis.
turbed. While two Of the ROBBERS re-
mained on guard outside the train, ths
third piOlged the cars.
This highwayman. who looked like a
lahorer. laughed and talked with the
passengers while taking their none,

WITH A TIGERS PAW
DESIRE TO BE SOClABLE Ex-
CEEDED GOOD JUDGMENT.
lie shook the Animals Paw, hut When
the Play Ended He Wore Nothing
but n Necktie and shoes.

Kansas City. July A young man
whose desire to be sociable exceeded
his good Judgment visited the winter
quarters of the Great Wallace shows
not long ago. Ben, one of the big Ben
gal tigers Of the menagerie, was taking
his after-dinner nap. His paw was
hanging carelessly out Of the cage.
The visitor in spirit OF cordiality,
grasped the proffered hand like a can
didate at an old settlers meeting. Ben,
who is the Beau Brummel of the me-
nagerie, is an exclusive fellow, and he
did not appreciate such unseemly ad-
vances. Mr.. Man had not been intro
duced and was regarded as a decidedly
presumptuous individual.
Ben rebuked him for reaching out
and gathering in his back hair; he swat
him in the back Of the neck and delin-
Gated thereon a railroad map. He
stabbed holes in him and did various
other pleasantrics peculiar to a. tiger.
When the man was rescued he remem-
bered that something had happened.
He found himself arrayed in a pair of
shoes, a necktie and several streaks OF
gore. but not a thing else. II took a
surgeon to sew the remnants together.
The boys about the menagerie kept the
necktie as a souvenir and hung 1t up
on Ben's cage.

STRAINED RELATIONS.
Professor Harrington Wouldn't Resign, So
lie Was Bounced.

Washington. July PROF. Mark W.
Harrington, chief of the weather bu-
reau. has been relieved from duty, ow-
ing to a disagreement with Secretary
Morton. a call was made June 10 for
Professor Harrington's resignation.
He declined TO resign and subsequently
was removed by the president, to take
effect July ]. James +. Cook, chief clerk
of the weather bureau, Is acting head
of the bureau until successor is ap-
pointed. The relations between Secre-
tary Morton and Harrington have
been strained many months, and cor
respondence between them has been
carried on only In the most formal
language.
Soon after the change In the admins
tration Secretary Morton instituted an
investigation of the affairs of the bu-
reau. The results did not implicate
Professor Harrington in any way, but
tended to increase the strained rela-
tons between the secretary and him
self. For some time Professor Harring-
ton has had practically nothing to do

he delayed on the ground, IL is thought,

left to settle the matter by voluntarily
stepping out. After he was at Gray Ga
bles, however. the president decided to
request the resignation. Professor Har-

done under an existing statute that

CHOLERA IN JAPAN.
Two Russian Physicians sent Out by the
Car tn fnvcstixate.

san Francisco. July 2.-Among the
arrivals here to-day were DR. T. Sem
isnoff and DIR. n. Satrowick. OF st. Pc
tersburg. physicians of the Russian
csar. who are bound to vIadivostock.
They say that for some time past the
Russian government had received tel
egrams that there was cholera, or at
least indications Of 1t. at Nagaski. Yo-
kohama and other points close to the
Russian possessions. These two have
been sent to Viadivostock TO make a
study OF the conditions there.
DR.. .Semisnoff was asked as to the re-
port received from Tacoma that $1,000
Russian soldiers were massed at Vlad-
ivostock and that the harbor was set
with torpedoes. with other Indications
Of trouble between Russia and Japan
There Is no such number as $4,000
soldiers there" he said. That dis
patch which | saw Is exaggerated.
There are about $1,000 troops there. but
the government has had most Of them
there for some time. They have been
gathered from all over Siberia and the
country towards st. Petersburg. II In
true that there are many war ships
there. too. and it is true that there arc
torpedoes in the harbor. They have
been there in the last two or three
months. What they have been placed
there for. however. you will have to
ask the czar. don't know"
Although the Russians say cholera in
prevalent in Japan the presence Of that
disease has not yet been reported here.
