BOTH CLAIMED FIRST HONOR.
Theresa Vaughn Forced to Leave the
Little Christopher" Company.

Baltimore. Nd, April 30.-During the past
few nights Little Christopher has figured in
q few scenes that were not outlined in the
prompt book. and which took place where
the audience could not see them. Little
Christopher is the hero OF the merry bur-
lesque which Z. E. Rice's comedians are
presenting this week at Ford's Opera House.
Miss Theresa Vaughn, who was to have
played the title role, went to the theater
on Monday evening and took possession OF
the stars dressing room. which she said
was assigned TO her. Willie Collier, the
principal comedian of the company, claimed
this privilege as his.
Miss Vaughn still insisted and Mr.. Col
lier refused to let her have it. There were
some words, and Mr.. Collier positively re-
fused to appear in the same company with
Miss Vaughn. He left the theate and an un-
derstudy burriedly rushed into his part,
while the fair Theresa proceeded to imper-
senate Little Christopher.
Tuesday came, and with 1t Manager
Rice, who proceeded to smooth out affairs.
But there was an obstacle, for the entire
company stood manfully and womauly by
Mr.. Collier, and with q few little stamps
and some Delsartian gestures, they refused
to appear with Miss Vaughn.
Mr.. Rice tried 10 explain. but the company
ran In an ensemble on him and he gave 1t
up. So, with Miss Vaughn, he left for New
York. and II is said that the latter INDUCED
in Mysteries. Anyhow, she went back to
Gotham.
Tuesday night the wife OF the stage man.
ager. Mrs. C. W. holly, took the part of
Little Christopher and let 1t be said that
she did it very cleverly, her vocal work be-
ing especially good. Mr.. Rice has now en-
gagged Bessie Bonehill, the charming little
comedienne, who will give the patrons OF
this popular playhouse an opportunity to
compare her work with tina t of her predeces-
sor, Miss Vaughn.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach tue diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an indamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.

COMANCRE CRUELTY.
How the Red Eiends Tortured a Prisoner
on the Staled Plain.

Colonel r. /. Dodge who was stationed
for years on the frontier, where he had
abundant opportunity TO study the Indi-
ans, has written Il book about them. In it
he tells of the fiendish cruelty of party of
COmanches who captured a Mexican dur
ing u raid. They started with him to their
camp across what is called the Staked
Plain.
AT a water hole on this tableiand,
continues Colonel Dodge, 1.-THE party halted
for several days. Telling the prisoner they
wanted it for some religious ceremony,
they set him to digging a hole in the
ground. Working with a knife and hands,
he in a day or two completed a pit about
three feet in diameter and over five feet
deep. Early the next morning "A rope was
tied about the ankles of the captive and
wound srirally round his legs and body Il
the neck, binding his arms tightly to his
sides. Rigid and immOvablc, the man was
then planted upright like a post in the
