that Murphy was there To stay. The piece
was produced, and Hoyt's Judgment was
sustained, for Tim made an instantaneous
hit and astonished even his most sanguine
admirers. Murphy has played number of
characters since then, but he has never du-
plicated his success in " A Texas Steer"
and has again gone back To that piece,
which is proving n source of large revenue
for him and his manager.
Murphy was born at Rupert, VT, April
10, 1861. His father, John Murphy, moved
to Rutland and later To Brandon, VT,
where he engaged in tho hardware trade
From Brandon he transferred his residence
TO Salem, n. Y, where most OF Tins boy
hood was spent. His first pubic appear
ancc was made at the Elks benefit, Wash

1881, in the first performance of "a Pair
of Kids" Tho next season he devoted TO
speciality work in vaudeville theaters

tirely confined 20 Hoyt's comedies. For

Men now know the fallacy of the doc
trine of free trade, and have found out
that the only way to prosperity for the
Nation lies through protection. There
is no escape from the issue. Mckinley
is SO identified with the doctrine that
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great
Lakes come the cry, as with one voice,
'Give us Mckinley" and the party did
so. This is the year of the people, and
if we give them their way by our votes
all the world will know that hereafter
the manufactures used here must be
made in this country and the money
they cost must be spent here.
When the votes are cast in November
it will be found that California says to
the East, I'VE will protect our wines,
our raisins and our fruits, and keep our
money at home" Great applause)

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Thieves Attempt to Enter Hale Bros
Store, But Fail.

Sometime early yesterday morning
an attempt was made to enter HAZE
Bros store by cutting through one or
the plate glass show windows on the
K-street side. A diamond was used
and a large square marked out, but in
the attempt to remove it the entire
glass, which was five by twelve feet,
was shattered from top to bottom. This
evidently created a noise, which caused
the would-be burglars to desist in their
efforts.
The curious feature of the matter was
that the watchman in the interior OF
the building heard no noise whatever.

Gold Incrusted Specimens Enthuse a
Visionary Taxidermist.

Stories have been told about the findine
of gold in the crops of chickens, in tho
stomachs of fishes, between the toes CT
wolves and IN a variety of odd places, but
Frank Dixon, a taxidermist of Kansas
City, the Star says. is the first to find gold
on the teeth of a wild deer. The story
sounds improbable, but 1t is true.
Mr.. Dixon received recently from Colo
RADIO couple of deer heads to be mounted.
The first thing he did was to skin the
heads. He noticed in handling the skull
that the rows of teeth were incrustcd
with a brownish-yellow substance. In the
crevices between the teeth the incrusta-
ton was heaviest and sparkled when heiu
to the light. Mr.. Dixon knew the deer
were killed in part of Colorado whers
gold dust had been found He scraped some
of the incrustation from the teeth aLd
took it to his friend, Shirley Millet dem
fist. DR. Millet tested it with chemicals
and said it was gold. Mr.. Dixon scraped
off lot more and took it to Mr.. Lawrence,
assayist The result was a small nugget
of virgin gold about as big as a pinhead.
Then the taxidermist wrote to Colorado
and found out the exact spot where the
deer was shot and he began to make prep
arations to close out his business here and
go there to hunt for gold.
Mr. Dixon has been a taXidermist in this
city for 20 years. In the old days when
eastern hunters used to come west TO
shoot buffalo, and always had few heads
mounted to take back as trophies, there
was money in taxidermy. But business
has declined in late years, and the Did
taXidermist believes there is more money
in gold hunting than in stuffing birds and
animals. He said yesterday that as soon
as he could close up his business affairs
here he would go to the spot in Colorado
where the deer were shot.
MY theory about this thing is this, -
said Mr.. Dixon. Every herd of deer has
a salt lick somewhere where they go oc-
casionally to lick the earth for the salt
there is in it. The herd never wanders
far away from this lick. The soil of tne
lick that was used by these two deer was
full of gold dust, and the acids of the
deers' mouths held it and incrusted it or
the teeth. Or, perhaps the gold was picked
up by the deer in browsing"
Mr.. Dixon said that deer always remain
ed near one spot. If driven away one day
they would return the next. Where thes,
two deer were shot is a wilderness, bu
gold in small quantities has been fount
not far away and Mr.. Dixon believes th'
jaw bones of the deer are the keys to his
| fortune.
II feel it in my bones that 1 will strik;
it rich in Colorado" said Mr.. Dixon. "Thi'
is my lucky year. anyway. In 1856. before
I left England for this country 1 won $50
on the derby and beat the races that yea
for $12. 600 in all. 7 went to a gypsy fortune
teller and she told me I would not STRIKE
big luck again for 40 years. believe tn,
old gypsy's prophecy will come true"
