was sure to see the name of his ad-
versary, in bold type, side by side with
his own on the poster Of the same
theater.
Both were always warmly received
and applauded. Reville was irreslst-
ible in a role requiring personal beauty
and noble bearing. Vernier seemed the
very incarnation Of meanness and
treachery-the ideal scoundrel, hard
ened and impenitent. Regularly every
evening, toward II o'clock, he was un-
masked and crushed under the heels
of the righteous and fascinating Re-
vile.
In their mutual desire to annihilate
one another they occasionally reached
sublimity.
Always associated, always receiving
together the ovations Of an enthusiastic
public, always great artists of the old
school $50 much loved by our fathers),
and always leaving on any role they
assumed the mark Of their mastery
conception, they never exchanged a
word, save before the footlights, and
during the long, laborious rehearsals.
Then, entirely ignoring their own in
dividulity, and projecting themselves
each into his respective role, each
cycling and measuring the othcV with
the air of a Spanish grandee, and each
stimulating the other to his best, they
would rise to the full height of their
splendid powers, astonishing and de-
lighting their admiring fellow-actors.
Neither had ever taken the hand OF
the other, and both had openly pro-
fessed the same antagonism in real
life that they exhibited on the stage.
Reville was widower. Vernier was
unmarried. The wife Of ReVille had
died young--of consumption--leaving
p little girl, beautiful with the beauty
Bf Greuze.
When Vernier, who was a good deal
of bear, caught sight of his rival on
the street, leading his little girl by
the hand, he was half conscious OF a
softened feeling toward his hated
enemy, and he would growl out in his
deep voice:
What a lucky fellow he is" and
his envious eyes would follow the bap-
py father on his way to "patisserie, "
to buy crisp little cake for Cecile
The Porte st. Martin had announced
the reproduction of "The Mysteries Of
Paris" for a certain date, the principal
roles of the Schoolmaster and Prince
Rudolph to be filled by Vernier and
Reville.
The disgust of Vernier know nc
bounds. He was to have this vile role
he serve as a mere foil to his rival
who in his rich robe-de-chambre, with
gold girdle and tassels, would have
ample opportunity of displaying his

William B. Hay, one Of the owners of
the Moqui bar. on the Colorado river,
is in the city on business and pleas
ure combined, one of the objects of his
trip being to procure two amalgama-
tors and. a gasoline engine, which will
be placed on the property this fall
The Moqui bar is owned by Mr.. Hay,
Frank Kimball, A. g. Turner and L. NJ.
Chaff1n. These gentlemen have been at
work on the river for some time. They
have been using a machine similar to
Mitchells flour gold amalgamator, and
their stack of mint certificates dem
onstIates the fact that they have not
labored in vain, and their faith in the
future of the property is shown by
the fact shat ii is their intention to
increase their plant.
The Moqui bar consists of $50 acres
of gravel. which averages from 219 to
10 feet in depth, and which carries val
ues of from 81 to Sc in gold to the yard,
the general average being from So to S..
The bar. according to Mr.. Hay, is
giving excellent returns for the time
employed in its working, and with in
creased matchmaking facilities it will
yield its thousands in the yellow met
al. and at a comparatively light eH-
pense.
A mile and a half above the Moqui
bar NJ. j. Ryan is operating on the
California bar. He is using one of Nit
chelrs machines and a. gasoline engine
and with this equipment is taking out
gold galore, and the returns are so
encGlIra ging that he is now working
two shifts The cost of running the
plant, with the gasoline engine, is
dollar a day, and Mr.. Hay states that
this motive power is giving excellent
satisfaction, as it is doing the work
of two men, and does it better than
they could do it,
Below the Moqui bar a number Of
men are working rockers with good re-
turns while in the same locality one
man IS working a dry washer, but with
what success, Mr.. Hay could not state.
Ed Meskin, one OF the oldest men
on the river, is working thirty-hVe
miles below the Moqui bar, and MIR.
Hay states that his gravel averages SIS
10 the yard in gold. Mr.. Meskin's
ground is covered with water during
the spring and summer months, but
from August Is to April it can be work
ed to advantage and in order TO do this
more effectively Mr.. Meskin is now
negotiating with Mr. Mitchell for two
of his machines. and if he is success
fui in making the deal he will buy
TWO of them and work two shifts dur
ing the working season.
Mr. Hay expects to remain in the
city for a week or ten days, and after
attending to some outside business,
will return to the bar about the first
of September.

Jim Williams has responded to StelZ-
ners challenge made in yesterdays is
sue of The Herald and has posted $50
as an evidence of good faith with the
sporting editor of this paper. Williams
explains that up to this time he has
been giving away too much weight;
that he is a middle weight and does
rot care to take as many desperate
chances as he has done in the past, a
statement which is true, as every one
knows. Whenever he has fought in the
past he has taken on men a great deal
heavier than he is and perhaps he does
we'll in this day to insist upon fighting
at even weights.
Jim sent IN the following letter last
evening accompanied by a half CEN
fury in the currency of the realm:
To the Sporting Editor of The Herald:
In reply TO Mr.. Stelzner's challenge,
will say it was not necessary for him
to make all this talk through the pa
pers to get match with me, because
challenged the winner of the Purcell
Steiner fight at 15S pounds and he did
not reply l will post this $50 as a for
felt to make side bet at from $100 to
$500 to fight at 15S pounds.
JIM WILLIAMS.
Steiner said the evening he inserted
his challenge in these columns that
he did not like to get down to 15S on
account Of the severity of the weather,
which makes it hard work training,
and the fact that the. money which is
received from these contests is scarce
ly enough to warrant the work being
done by two big men as he and Will
Jams are, but that he would do so and
inasmuch as he has made this asser-
ton. there Will doubtless be a match
made.
Bob Thompson and Tom Carter of
Arizona, have made a match to come
together in this city on the 2Sth of
July, for the gate receipts, the winner
to take rs and the loser % per cent. of
the receipts, both men to weigh in at
o'clock on the evening of the fight at
l40 pounds. Carter is said to be a good
man and everyone here knows that
Bob is, SO the chances are good fight
will result.

WON'T SUPPORT BLAND.
Sergeant-at-Arms Mcdowell Airs
His views on the Question.

His Views on the Question.
ST. LOUIS, July I've have nothing
against MIR. Bland, personally, but if he
is nominated he will not get the support
of the Peoples party or of the Silver
party outside of the Democratic lines,
said Sergeant-at-Arms McDoweli OF the
Peoples party, in an interview today.
am positive that no Democrat can secure
the Populist vote this fall, and that a
large majority of our people Will either
endorse or nominate Senator Ieller LOT
the presidency. AS the Independent SILVER
men, including those who recently walked
out of the Republican national conven-
ton, will already have nominated Sena-
tor Teller. he will at once become a
powerful candidate, backed by the 1ull
strength of the Peoples party ana the
Silver party
But said the reporter, sit has been
stated that Senators Dubois, PettigreW
and others favor Bland If they cannot
get Teller, and that Teller himself has
declared his intention of taxing the
stump for Bland if the latter is nomi-
mated
"Don't you believe a word of it," an
swered the Tennesseean. Senator Teller
sent no such intination, and neither Du-
bois nor Cannon nor Pettigrew nor Man
tie, nor any other of the boiling Repub-
lican silver men will support Bland.
How can they? They are honorable gen.
tlemen and all have their positive pledge
that the sole object of their mission 10
Chicago is to secure TelIerS nonlnauon
Failing that they will come to St. Louis,
and at the silver convention, which will
be held on the 22d, at the same time as
our own, but in different building, they
| will nominate Teller by reclamation
Then they will l presume, send request
for conference. The result will be, as
/ have already said. the endorsement on
the nomination by us Of Senator Teller
''The agreement to this effect is as
binding as any compact among honorable
men could be. 1t was first discussed In
Washington. 1t was actually made on
the evening of the walk-out OF Senator
| Teller and his fellow silver RepuDllcans
! from the ST. Louis convention. AT this
meeting Senators Dubois, PettigreW, can
non, Mantle and others spoke for the
silver men. The Peoples party was rep
resented by National Chairman Taube-
neck, Mr.. Davis of Texas, Mr.: patterson
! of Colorado, Dr. Taylor of Illinois and
aFoa vice president we can nominate a
straightout Populist, and the only can
| didate spoken of at present seems to be
i A L. Mons of Dawson county, Tennes-
! see. a strong man and in every way ell
gible. With such ticket we will carry,
/ beyond all doubt. Texas, Alabama, Geor-
gia. North Carolina, Tennessee and a
| number of western states and territories,
besszs making big fight in many other
states.
s'There is every indication that the
Populist convention will bring $1,000 peo-
pie to St. Louis.
