Her Transforming Tour.

Mary Anderson de Navarro looks
with evident enjoyment upon what
she calls the transforming" period of
her stage career, which, however, In
her case was short, beneficial and
pecuniarily profitable. Of her expert
ences in Owensboro, small Kentucky
town, where she and her little band of
actors played for week, Mrs. de Nav
AFRO writes in January Ladies' Home
journal: "* was a tall, slender
Juliet and my Romeo proved to be
plump, pleasant little woman, prob
baby the mother Of several would-be
'Romeos' and 'Juliets.' The moon she
('Romeo') swore by we found to be the
headlight Of railway engine hired for
the occasion. This was held by q small
negro boy perched upon ladder, who
was SO amused by the play that he
laughed until he shook over the most
tragic scenes, His mirth, as may be
imagined, was not conducive to the
moons sleadiness. AT one time she
was shining in an upper box, at an
other on the head of a bald musician,
often binding the unfortunates In the
front stalls, here, there, everywhere
save on the face Of her ('verona's love-
ly fower') she had been especially
hired to illuminate. The conductor of
the orchestra was carpenter by trade,
and sawed away as Justify during the
day at the boards he was converting
into profile statues of 'Evadne's' noble
ancestors as he sawed upon his violin

Bensacial TenIo.
Carpet tacks are not generally regarded
% healthful, kind Of diet, says the Phila-
delphia Record, but many men have taken
them into tneir stomachs in varying doses
without suffering any injury from them,
but even deriving benefit from this
peculiar srticle Of food, II the word Of
prominent physicians 10 70 be believed In
addition to the many carpet-layers who fill
their mouths with tacks while ct work, and
now and then slip one down their throat by
accident, there are three colored men on
Lombard street who are able and willing to
startle spectator by swallowing handful
|of shars, pointed iron tacks with the great
est .ronchalance, as II they were the most
nutritious morsels. These men have
neither leathern intestines or copper-lined
stomachs, but they are able to take care of
o prodigious quantity OF carpet tacks with
out any apparent discomfort or ill-e6ect.
Medical authorities assert that there is
far less risk attendant upon swallowing q
tack than Is generally supposed, and that
such performance is sometimes product
i've CT beneficial results. The freak who
swallows a single tack or handful Of them
Is seized with an abnormal desire for food,
and it IS TO this fact that the harmlessness
Of the swallowing Of tacks Is ascribed.
Curiously, the tacks invariably pass through
the stomach with their heads "bowed down
in reverence" and placed in the center Of
the food SO that they do not touch the walls
Of the intestines. Even when the points Of

ATTEMPTED TO KILL AN OFFICER. =
a young negro man named John (alias
LunchO Johnson, who had often
noasted OF what he purposed to do in
the event of an officer attempt
Ing to arrest him, came near car.
rying out his threat near the Portner
Brewery about II o'clock Saturday
night. About that hour Officer Lvles
was patroling his beat and arrived in
front of Morris Leven's saloon, half q
square north of the brewery, and while
he was talking to the proprietor row
was started among crowd of negroes
who were inside. Mr.. Lyles entered
and saw colored man named Thomas
Fairall bleeding from u blow in the
face. He placed Fairall under arrest,
but was told that Johnson was the par.
ty at fault. The officer turned Fairall
over to a colored man named Hender-
son and started 10 pursuit of Johnson,
who had ran out OF the door. When
the officer reached the street Johnson
was half square ahead, running on
the brewery square. Mr.. Lyles order
cd him to halt, but the negro refused
to stop and reaching into his coat
pocket produced pistol and fired at
his pursuer, the ball from which
whlzzed past the officers head. The
latter fired at Johnson, who returned
the shot, the bali in this case going
widely past its mark. Mr.. Lyles
chased the negro from the brewery
several squares, and finally lost sight of
him. He then returned to the saloon,
secured Fairall and locked him up.
Later he secured the northern section
of the city and went as far as st. Asaph
Junction, but failed to find the object
of his search. Early yesterday morn
ing Johnson reappeared at shop kept
by colored man named Dudley, ne,
the old canal basin, and Officers Beach,
Young and Sherwood having been APP
prised of his whereabouts started aft, r
him. One of his friends gave an alarm
and Johnson started to run up the
Washington road, the officers follow
ing, some running across the fields fer
the purpose of "cutting him off," He
was finally located in the Poor House
lane, where Officer Young pressed team
into service and soon ran the fugitive
down, after which the officers brought
him to this city. The case came up in
the Police Court this morning. The
prisoner represented by Messrs. L.
Q. Barley and S. G. Brent, and host
of witnesses were examined. The ma
jority of those who were in the saloon
or in the street pretended they heard no
pistol SHOTS, and those who did hear
them said they supposed Mr.. Lyles did
all the firing. The witnesses were all
colored except the proprietor of the
saloon. The prisoner was sent on to
the grand jury,
