A F1Rr-cLAss SHOW.
Kirkhart Ryan Show Pleased Large
Audience This Afternoon.

kirkhart-Ryan's great American 25
cent show gave frst-class perform
ance to a large crowd this afternoon.
The excellent reputation which trav-
els ahead of the show was responsible
for the large crowd and those who at
tended were not in the least dis
appointed. 1t is really fine exhibit
ton and worthy of patronage as the
performance is chaste and moral in
every respect. The long program
contains nothing but startling feat
ures, every actor being star. Every
performer with this show is from a
large show.
The music was unusually fine. even
for circus music. The band of eight
cen, with Prof. Rainsburg, as director
renders the most difficult music with
skill. Preceding the performance
this evening in the tent they will play
the celebrated overture "a trip to
Coney Island.' This overture alone
is said to be worth the price of adj
mission.-Fort Dodge, Iowa, Mes

BADLY WHIPPED BY AN EAGLE.
Resident of Petoskey. Mich, Ventures Too
Near the Nest.

Oscar alcott, asoficitor for a farmers
insurance company, had a startling ex-
perience the other day four miles from
Rondo, Mich. While passing through
q dense woods he was startled by
scream, and at the same moment he re-
ceived tearing blows on the head and
neck that hurled him into the under
brush. Rising he grappled with an
American eagle, which had taken this
way of resenting approach to it's nest,
and which was again and again
plunging his talons into Talcott's
neck and face. The female bird did
not join in the fight. After dozen
rounds he drove his eagleship of and
started for assistance. Huge gashes
were cut in his checks and neck and
blood poured from other wounds in his
face. He came to Petoslsey and will
take some men from here to try to cap
ture the birds and their nest. Two
years ago, in the same vicinity, a child
was carried three miles by an eagle.
The father pursued on horseback and
shot the bird as it alighted to rest.

NAMING THE BOATS.
Perplexing Task Which Confronts
the Secretary Of the Navy.
Several Gunboats and Torpedo Boats to
BE Launched in the Fall-Law Govern.
Ing Selection of Names Purely
American Names Favored.

A special to the New York Herald
from Washington says: Secretary Her.
bert will soon take up the question of
selecting names for the gunboats and
torpedo boats to be launched in the fall.
Also, in anticipation of the authoriza-
ton of the battleships, several congress
sional delegations have recommended
that the name of their respective states
be selected for one of the vessels of this
type. The present secretary of the
navy, however, will hardly christen any
of the battleships to be authorized at
this session, unless, as in the case Of
the Kearsarge and the Kentucky, he
names them when their keels are laid
down.
Under the law battleships shall be
named for states; cruisers for large
cities; gunboats for small cities, and tor
pedo boats in honor of distinguished
characters in the nations history.
The department has IN ample number
OF names suggested for the six gunboats
under construction, such cities as Chat
tanooga, Wheeling, Kenesaw, Birming-
ham, Germantown, Chelsea, Lexington,
Gloucester, Tacoma, Bridgeport, vicks-
burg, New Bedford, Marinetta and AL
legheny being aspirants for the honor.
There is good reason to believe that Sec
rotary Herbert desires to select purely
American names, such as Chattanooga,
Kenesaw, Marietta, Allegheny and Ia
coma.
The only difficulty that will be ex-
perienced in selecting names for the
torpedo boats will be to make choice
among SO many. Those which meet
with the most favor in the department
are the names of naval heroes, such as
Jones, of Bon Homme fame; Lawrence,
of the Chesapeake; Perry, hero of Lake
Erie; Porter, of the Essex; Farragut.
of the Hartford, and Winslow, of the
Kearsarge. Names of scientists, of
statesmen and of others who gained
claim to recognition at the hands of
a grateful country by their deeds will
also be considered.

the trust met in conference with repre-

ton. 1t was q conference engineered
by the trust as last effort to preserve
its power and clear the way for an alb
solute unopposed control of the nail
market. About 80 attended the confer

continuing in exciting session until
nearly midnight. Each Of the IL out

of alluring promises were placed before
them by the combine managers to draw

MOTHER sH1PToN.
Many Of Her Prophecies Have Been
Realized.

Mother Shipton lived in the latter
half of tbe fifteenth century. She
was supposed to be the child of the
devil, says the Catholic Sentinel, who
wooed her mother under the guise of
young forester. When she grew up
to womanhood she lived in the forest,
refused to associate with other hui
man beings, aud uttered her prophe
sizes while fleeing from those who de-
sired to make her acquaintance. She
used to utter her prophesies, aud is
said to have foretold the Innovations
which soon after followed In religion.
The fall of Wolsey, the death of Sir
Thomas More and other lords and
ladies, who were beheaded by Henry
VIII. Her general prophecies were
put into doggerel rhyme by some un-
known poet, and have been handed
down through four centuries. They
are, moreover, us firmly believed in
by the general English public as the
prophecies Of st. Columbkill are py
the Irish.
The following are samples taken
from the work:
"a housee of glass shall come to pass
In mesry England, but alas.
War will follow with the work
In the land of the Turk,
And state and state in fierce strife
Struggle for each others life,
Carriages without horses shall go.
And accidents fill the esrth with woe,
In London Primrose hill shall be
And the center of bishops see"
primrose hill, now in the heart of
London, was in Mother Shipton's
time twelve miles from the city,
"Around the world thought shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye;
Through the hills men shall ride.
And neither horse nor ass bestride;
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep. shall talk.
Iron in the water shall float,
AS easily as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown
In lane that's now unknown;
Fire and water shall wonders do,
And England shall admit a jew.
Three times three shall lovely France
BE lad to dance bloody dance;
Before her people shall be free
Three tyrant rulers she shall see;
Each sprung from a different dynasty,
And when the last great fight is won
England and France shall be as one,
And now Il word in uneouth rhyme
OF what shall be in the latter time,
In these wonderful far-of days
Women shall have Il strange, odd craze.
To dress like men and brcechcS wear.
And cut off their beautiful locks of hair,
And ride astride with braZen brow,
AS witches DO On br0omstckS now,
Then love shall die and marriage cease
| And babies and sucllings so decrease
| That wives shall fondle cats and dogs,
| And men live much the same as hogs,
| In eighteen hundred and ninety.siN
| Build your houses of rotten sticks;
For then shall mighty wars be planned,
| And fire and sword sweep DER the land.
But those who live the century through
| In fear and trembling this will do:
| Fly to the mountains and the glenS,
To boys and forests and wild fens;
For tempests will rage and oceans roar,
| And Gabriel stand on sea and shore,
| And as he tootS his wondrOuS horn
Old worlds shall die and new be born"

THEY POPPED EACH OTHER
Dr.. Mallan and Grocer Carmody
Fought Over a Bill.
The Physician Told Judge Miller How
the Fight Concluded-Both of the
Charges Were Dismissed.

The troubles of DR.. Mallan OF Capitol
Hill, and Cornelius ]. Carmody, a grocer, at
the corner OF sixth and l streets southeast,
each OF whom lodged a complaint of assault
against the other, We're aired before Judge
Miller in police court this morning and re-
suited in the dismissal OF both charges.
The grocer owed the doctor q bill
for professional services, both agreed
The latter made several attempts TO collect
1t, and last Saturday morning sent a
statement 10 Mr.. Carmody through regular
collector. The agent was turned down, and
an hour later DR.. Mallan appeared in the
store
Il was standing behind the meat counter
when he entered said Mr.. CarInody, He
said he had come to collect the bill owed
him. l told him l had paid him enough
Then be began calling me names. and re-
turned in kind. He threw off his machin-
tosh and picked up meat cleaver. l had
knife in my hand.
MY wife entered the store and got her
back in tie kitchen. When 1 returned he
put down the cleaver and laid aside the
knife. He struck me in the jaw and hit
him in the face. A fight followed and he
left the store
Law yer Sillers. who represented Carnody,
called two or three colored witnesses of the
affair to corroborate his clients story.
The physician took the stand in his own
defense and as prosecutor. His left eye
was still discolored from the effects of
the blow he had received.
''Hc picked up the knife and told me
to get out after l had asked him to settle
his bill he said. II picked up the cleaver
after thro wing aside my coat, and then
put it down again. Mrs Carmody rushed
in and caught me. popped her husband
one in the mouth and he popped me one in
the eye. That's what makes it black this
morning. That's my story"
"You could have gotten out of the store
without any trouble, couldn't you?" asked
Judge Miller.
DIR. Mallan admitted that he could.
Both charges are dismis ssed.''
