SPOILED MACREADY'S GRAFTON

AN Unusually Strong Finch of Snuff Made
the Corpse Sneeze on the Stage.
When Macready was a young man
classical drama in blank verse held the
stage, says London Figaro. One of
these was ''Emilius; or, the Fall of
Rome" Emilius was played by an
actor named Pope, and the exigencies
of the play required him to be brought
on the stage on bier, supposedly dead,
and Flavius, acted by Macready, spoke
an Grafton over the body. Pope was
an inveterate snuff taker, and just be-
fore going on one night he borrowed a
pinch from one of the stage attend
ants. He was accustomed to mild
inyigorant, but the borrowed tobacco
was the fiery Welsh stuff. Pope was
duly brought on the stage by the usual
army of "supers," and Macready be-
gan:
.Thou last of the Romans, thy bleed
ing country calls thee in vain. Time
and fortune may do their worst. Since
Here, to Macready's establishment,
Popes face began to work, and then
came a sneeze from the Gead Roman
that shook the flies. Macready started
as if shot, and the audience began to
litter, but he went on:
sSince thou hast left us we are en-
comprised by enemies who"
Here the corpse began to show ami
nation, and then came a succession OF
sneezes. Boiling over with rage, and
in dice heard all over the house,
Macready muttered:
"Drat your blood, sir, why don't you
do your sneezing off the stage"
The audience shouted and the scene
ended by the corpse stalking off to
find and kill the man who gave him
the snuff.

COMING CONGRESS.

First Indications of the Approaching Ses-
 sioh--A " estern Senator on the Revenues -fNefel~ea Over the Renewal of Gold
 Exports h htch Threaten a New Bond Is-
 sue licfore the Irst of the Voar.
 CncAGo, Nov. 1s.-A Washington special says:
 Washington begins to show indica- tions of the near approach of congress.
 struggling congressman here and there ill the hotel lobbies or on the street corners, surrounded by little groups of interested listeners, sug- gests the re-opening of congress. The new congressman from "the Posey county district always an object of interest, Is here, and stopping at the Riggs. He is j. 1. Hemeuway, of Bonneville the Indiana town in Spencer county where "A be" Lincoln, according to tradition used to loiter around the law offices and court rooms and gather inspiration for his future march to political fame
 Senator Baizer Of Kansas has made decided impression already "The revenue question is the most import ant before the new congress" said he. Aside from increasing duties I see only one other feasible plan for pro- viding revenues and that is to author ize the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds of small denominations say $50 or S100-whieh ought to be made legal tender and draw 2-per cent. interest
 Senator Baker says Mckinley leads as a presidential factor in Kansas, but he believes that Reed will have the largest number of votes on the first ballot, with Mckinley second, and that the result will be the nomination of neither favorite, but, instead a dark horse.
 Nearly all the new congressman here are more or less exercised over the re- newal of gold exports, which began last week. As predicted in dispatch Wednesday,, there were fresh with drawals of gold and few exports Saturday, and tine reserve is threat ened.
 Several new members have called on Secretary Carlisle expecting to learn q great deal about the subject, but few of them secured all audience. Secre- tary Carlisle is as much in quandary himself over the matter as are some of the amateur statesmen. The financial adviscrs,n on whom he relies for accurate information in Wall street, are unable to establish the ex- tent of the new drain that has just commenced or to fix the responsibility. 1t may be a temporary striugeney in the exchange market, or it may be more deep seated. It is es timated that within the next two weeks Sl0,000,005 of gold will go abroad. If saea deain be kept up for any eontinned period, new sale of bonds before the first of the year would be inevitable.

COUNTERFEIT STAMP SCHEME
Traced to Warren r. Thompson, the Mat
 rimonlal Agent.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1s.-The connection of Warren F. Thompson, the matri- monial agent, with the Jones counter felt stamp scheme. is now said to be settled beyond any doubt. The secret service has him in tolls from which it will be difficult to escape. But troubles never come siugly, and Thompson found that out yesterday morning.
 He waived examination on the sec ond charge brought against him in connection with the counterfeiting of postage stamps. While Thompson was waiting for bondsmen to make his S2,500 bond, Charles A Fuller who was on his bond in the postal Case pending in the district court, gave him up, and Thompson abandoned all hope of getting out on bail, and is resigned to go back to the jail at Joliet until the next term of the district court
 The plates from which the counter felt postage stamps were printed are now in the possession of the secret service, and their ownership has been traced unmistable to Thompson and Jones'

Is A special from Birmingham, Ala, says: Near Corona, Ala, sixty niles west of Birmingham, yesterday morning while a heavy freight on the Southern rajl- way way climbing a long grade, the caboose and two cars broke loose and started back down grade Conductor W. r. Ruttin was the only man in the caboose and taking in the situation he began applying the hand brakes, but to no avail, the wild ears gathering speed as they ran. Seeing that to jump meant certain death, Rutfin remained at the useless brakes.
 After going SIX miles the cars dashed into the engine of the Corona express, which was backing down from the junction to Corona station. Engineer Broom and his fireman jumped from the express train engine just in time to save themselves. The engine and freight cars, the latter then running fully eighty maes an hour, were smashed, and Rulfn still at the brakes when the crash came, was instantly killed being crushed into shapeless mass The passengers on the express miracuously escaped with shaking up.

He Was Acquitted.

w. NJ. Singer, of Bradley county, had a trial in the United States court, in Little Rock, the other day, on a charge of selling intoxicating fluid without the proper credentials from Uncle Sam. He was acquitted. The evidence showed that Singer who is engaged in merchandising, sold a sort of tonic which was alleged to contain certain quota -of alcohol. Senator ". R. Chimney, of Warren, defended Singer and made a strong plea for the acquittal of his client. Singer did not deny having sold the tonic, but he claimed that he was doing so legit- mately and did not sell it as bever. age. The jury evidently thought that way too.

Eight Hundred Persons Killed at slvai

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-When shown the United Press dispatches which stated that 500 persons were killed at Sivas, fact not clearly shown by the state department dispatch, as given out, Mr. oluey replied that this was substantially correct. The full text of Minister Terrell's communication was, for the same reason, withheld from publication.
 The state department advices from Canstantinople are much less explicit than those received by the United Press through it's special correspond- ent. But such meager details as have been given out by the department are fully condrmatory of the press ad- vices

America's Opportunity to Bring England
 to Terms.

CmeAGo, Nov. 1s.-A special to the Evening Press from Washington, says:
 The state department officials look upon the complications arising over the Armenian affair as settling in favor of the United States, and also the controversy with Great Britain grow ing out of the Venezuelan boundary dispute.
 Still, Secretary Oiney is in favor of vigorously maintaining the position he has occupied up to the present time. thereby, as he believes, forcing Great Britain to abandon her claims in Ven ezuela in order that her hands may be clear for the more serious work in bringing Turkey to time. Every diplomat in Washington regards the crisis as of the most imminent charae- ter, and they all seem to believe that bloodshed is inevitable in eastern Europe and that the autonomy of Fur key is doomed
