higher than Patti dare attempt. Miss
Yaw has not yet given her voice to the
public, but will make her debut soon.
Her repertory embraces the works Of
English, French, Italian and Swedish
composers. OF Grieg's ballads she is
particularly fond. Foreign musicians
and critics who have heard her predict
such career for her as has never been
known. OF her personal appearance
and characteristics one writer says:
"She is tall and beautiful, with a
wealth Of blonde hair, dreamy blue
eyes, and features of the finest delicacy.
Her throat is as graceful as a swans,
her pOise and manner are elegant. She
reminds one of Jenny Lind, in that af-
iectation and artifce have no place in
her expression"

the world. She was born at Donerail,
Fayette county Ky, in 1872, and is
directly descended from the late Chief
Justice Marshall of the United States
Supreme court. She was educated in
her native state, and in 1887 married
Jackson w. Showalter, who taught her
to play chess. She has played many
brilliant games, and will undoubtedly
achieve still higher distinction in this
particular field. Mrs. Showalter Is

On the midnight in question the
Northwestern Senator asked unan-
imous consent to bring up meas

"I object" said Harris.
"The objection Of the Senator
from Tennessee" said the North
western Senator, reddening Q bit,

"The Senator from Tennessee"
retorted Harris. ''is capable of max
ing unusual objections"
"And Of doing ungentlemanly
things" responded the twice-nam-
ed Senator heatedly.
"Ungentlemanly, possibly" pos
sibly," Kissed Harris, beginning to
emerge from behind his desk Gun
gentlemanly, but nothing dishon-
orable, sir. The Senator from Ten
nessee still answers to the name he
bore in his youth he has never
changed it, SIR"
"Let me get at him Let me
get at him ~ shouted the North
western Senator, beside himself
with rage /; but dozens fiocked be-
tween, the gavel began q cannon
aiding, and quiet was maintained
by main strength.
After the war Harris declared he
would not live in this country, and
went to Mexico with Pap Price,
General 10 Shelby, Jesse James
and sundry other gentlemen who
had been experimenting with their
patriotism. These put in several
dreary months across the Rio
Grande and then came soberly home
again.
While idly putting in Mexican
time Harris and others made q pro
tenn whiskey still and distilled ba-
nanas, pineapples, anything they
could get their hands on.
Two years ago General Shelby
wac in Washington. He called on
Harris. They had not seen each
other for % years.
"Don't you know yonr old part
ner ?" asked Shelby, when they
met in the Marble Room and Har-
ris did not recognize him.
"What were We partners in, sir 20
demanded Harris with great
warmth.
"We owned a whiskey still"
Don't you know / never owned
q distillery ?" retorted Harris, his
wrath beginning to rise and stretch
itself.
Shelby told the particulars with
a laugh. Harris grasped his hand
eagerly.
"Bless my soul. This isn't 10
Shelby ?"
Then the two sat down and visit
ed like schoolgifis-talked, laugh
ed and revived old stories. At last
Shelby departed to keep an engage
ment with the President and be APP
pointed United States Marshal for
Western Missouri. After he had
gone Harris arose and a look of
great and sour protest came over
his face.
"Why, damn, 10 Shelby % he
said +; he never owned any OF that
whiskey still. 1t belonged to me
and George Forsyth. 10 Shelby
was always hanging around. drink
ing our whiskey, but he never own
ed any of that still a minute. We
distilled five bottlesful, and 10
Shelby drank three Of 'em. The
other two Forsyth and l aged, sir,
and drank them ourselves"
"How long did you age them,
Senator 20 asked Jack Murray, to
whom Harris was Indignantly con-
iding.
'Fo' days, SIR" responded Har-
ris haughtily; "we aged them TO-
days and then we drank them.
And now 10 Shelby has the effron-

CATHOLIC CHURCH FIRED.
ST. Peters at Stevens Point Burned
to the Ground.

Stevens Point, Wis, Oct. 49,
There is much excitement here over
the burning of St. Peters Polish
church: the fire being very plainly
one of incendiary origin. The fire
broke out in several different parts
Of the building almost simultaneous
ly shortly after vesper services at 4
o'clock. Though the fire department
quickly responded it was impossible
to save the building which fell within
an hour. The fire then spread to the
parish house, which also burned to
the ground. The church was built
in 1876 but has been added to and i'm
poved from time to time until it was
a very imposing structure. 1t seated
LOCO persons. The loss will be about
$4,000, with $4,000 insurance.
There has been more or less trouble
in the congregation and Father lei
linski has received threatening let
tiers. The church will be rebuilt at
once and $4,000 contract for a new
schoolhouse will be cancelled. 1t is
said that gunpowder was found in one
of the statutes.
