John Hare is responsible for the making
Of a good American citizen out of one OF
Queen Victoria's former most loyal sub
jects. When the little English comedian
was playing IN Pittsburg. his son, Gilbert,
fell quite i'll, thus leaving an important
vacancy in the Garrick Theater company.
Across the river, in Allegheny City, play
ing in a small stock company, was a hand
some young English actor of considerable
experience. Hare sent for him and offered
the engagement for Gilbert Hare's roles.
The young man was delighted, accepted
the proposition and hurried back to Ale
ghany City to resign his stock position.
The next day he was accorded another in
terview for further instruction and on the
third day Hare sent for him again. The
young actor found Hare occupying the
only chair IN the room. BE seated, sir %
remarked Hare. The visitor hesitated and
then pumped his athletic form on shaky
table. Hare then went on to say that his
son would be able to continue with the
company and the newcomers services
would therefore not be required At this
cheerful intelligence the disappointed ao-
tor moved uneasily, and smash went the
table, depOsiting him on the floor Wish
out employment of any kind, his cup Of
bitterness was filed to OVERLOOKING the
next day when the hotel sent him bill
for 50, which Hare had refused to pay for
the broken table. Two days later the
young Englishman took out his first
American citizenship papers.

Vaudeville seems to offer a larger and
more permanent revenue to performers
than the higher ranks Of histrionio en-
deavor. The Thespian Of the legitimate
stage spends his summer in the woods,
mountains or over seRs, while the lucky
vaudevilIian stops at home and adds to
his worldly store by amusing she dsvotees
of the roof garden or exciting the risibles
of the patrons of the continuous show.
That this sort of thing is very profitable
is proved by the number of homes owned
in New York by the favor1tes of vaude-
vile. Sam Bernard owns d residence on
Fifteenth street, Tony Pastor on the west
side, and Sam Devere is a Brooklyn prop
erty owner. John Kernel, besides being
a New York taxpayer, owns a handsome
residence in Asbury Park. Weber and
Fields both own handsome residences.
Lottie ellison and Helene Mora both own
their own homes. And there are others.

he VIII Try to Knock Out Tom Shar-
key in Four Rounds
San Francisco, June 8.-The arrange
ments for the four round go between
James J. Corbett, champion heavy
weight Of the world, and Tom Sharkey
Of local fame, were concluded at noon
today. "A few changes were made in the
original scheme suggested by the Ma
tional Athletic club under whose au-
spices the mill viii be held.
The first idea was that Corbett was to
get so per cent of the gross receipts pro-
viding he put Sharkey out in four
rounds AS it now stands Jim viii get
the 80 per cent no matter what the out
come of the contest may be. So far as
Sharkey is concerned the club viii look
out for his financial interests If he
should put UP a better fight during the
four rounds than COrbetrs ne viii be en-
titled to the decision.
Although COrbett does not claim that
he viii put out the Marine in the spec
flied time he admits that he viii admin
lister a. terrific beating to him. He says
the real reason for his accepting the
proposition, is his desire to prove to his
friends that the stories Of his degener-
alton are out of joint.
His decision to meet Sharkey will post

was to start east on Tuesday. Today he

Sharkey is confident He says he will

there is a man living who can put me
out in that space Of time, he said.
There is a great deal Of difference in
a man fighting a man who wants to
fight back. and going after a man who
knows that all he has to do is to keep
away for a short period of time OF
course 1 do not for q moment place my
self on a par with Corbett, so far as
science is concerned, but am positive
that he viii never punch me out in four

Of the wheel beneath the saddle These
bulbs contain a moving mechanism con-
structed according to a method which the
inventor viii not reveal. he claims that
his idea is as simple as it is effective.
The tire is of the ordinary pneumatic
order. made twice the usual weight, to
make it doubly strong. The gear of the
model is so inches, but can be made to
suit the rider. The weight Of the machine
is % pounds
The average wheelman has such high
regard for his wheel that he refuses to
tempt sneak thieves by leaving it outside
the house during its periods Of inactivity.
As many residences are lacking in "lum-
Der rooms or other convenient reoeptacles
for cvolss, the wheeIman is compelled to
leave his friend of the road leaning about
in hallway, dining room or kitchen. The
Inconvenience Of such bestowal has been
long and universally bewailed, but the
trouble is at an end. A beuefcent genius
has designed a handle bar that can be turn
ed so as to stand parallel with the wall,
and another has invented a bicycle rack
by means of which the wheel may be hung
up out of the way so that it becomes more
of an ornament than an impediment.
One of the most striking novelties of
the hour comes from Switzerland. 1t is
called the normal bicycle but that is not
the way it looks. 1t has the general ap-
pearance of a modernized Ego cart, and
yet it is said to have excellent points. 1t
is claimed for it that it is capable of great
speed, that the rider has a support for his
back and can thus utilize more of his leg
power. Those who are Attempting to in
troduoa it in America also assert that the
upright position in which it holds the
body keeps the internal organs in their
proper relative positions rather than
crowded one over the other, as is the case
when the body is bent forward.
The decadence of the popularity Of leg
gings for wheslwomen is quite noticeable
upon public highways freGuented by oy-
olists. At the very start they were found
to be hot and uncomfortable, but that
didn't make any difference to the dear
women who are always willing to undergo
discomfort for appearances sake, but

there is not a woman on the stage in this
country, without a single exception, who
is more sprightly and active on her feet
than she. Her dancing viii compare IA
vorably with that of women who do moth
ing else, and they are infinitely more
funny.
Miss Dressler's voice is a fine, rich con-
tralto, with several deep heavy notes that
would almost entitle her to that dubious
classification known as female baritone. -
For many years she has been doing the
heavy character parts in comic opera, but
the field was rather limited, and the prima
donna or the leading comedian or the SOU
brette or whoever else happened to be the
star of the company was constantly both
ering Miss Dressler, and she concluded to
get into q form of entertainment in which
jealousy was q less conspicuous element.
After she left the Camille d Arville Opera
company she joined The Lady Slavey,
and it is in that very amusing nothing
that she has really scored the greatest hit
of her career. Dan DAILY, that long, dry
and unotuous comedian, has shared Miss
Dressler's SUCCESS in 1.-THE Lady Slavsy,''
and it is currently reported that they viii

next season, the piece to be written espe-
cially for them with a view to displaying
to the best advantage the peculiar ability
and unquestionable versatility Of this
unique pair of perform ers. If the theatric-
al managers of the country are any judges
of such matters, and they surely should
be, the tour will be a great success, for the
applications for time already made would
suffice to keep the company at work con-
tinuously for several seasons. Whatever
success Miss Dressler has had has come to
her as the result of hard work allied to
genuine ability. Nothing whatever has
been due to accident or luck, for which,

ONE MORE NEW PARTY.
Ultra Gold Standard Men of New
York to Issue an Address.

New York, June 8.-A movement has
been started in this city for the fOrma-
ton of a new national political party
to be known as the Sound Money
party Those who are behind it are
not yet ready to announce themselves,
but a copy of a circular which is in
preparation was shown to The Dis
patch correspondent today 1t was
only a first draft. and is likely to be
much changed before it is finally sign
ed and put into type for circulation. 1t
is said that the circular viii be signed
by some Of the most prominent men Of
New York, Democrats and Republicans
alike. The circular begins as follows:
We, the undersigned, Republicans
and Democrats, observing the move
ment in our respective parties in favor
of nominating as presidential candi-
dates in the coming election certain
men who are unsOund in their views
on questions of finance, and recOgniz-
ing that 1t is our duty to refuse to sub

fully persuaded that the time has come

that of obtaining Office, to make it
known that they viii not follow nor be

BARBARITIEs o. III.
Cubans Captured, Tortured and Shot
Without Trial.


Without Trial
Key West, Fla. June s.-A letter has
been received here from Melton. the
young American captured on the
schooner Competitor, in which he de-
scribes the barbarities practiced by
Spaniards on prisoners confined in Mo-
TO Castle and Fort Cabanas. Extracts
from the letter, which is dated Havana
June 3, follow.
'The world viii never know the bar
barities that are perpetrated by the
Spaniards on the suspects confined in
Moro Castle and Fort CabanaS- They
are being tortured and shot without
trial almost daily. On Nay go Faus-
trino Pardone, Is years old was cap
tured in the outskirts of Havana by
Spanish guerillas and lodged in Caban-
as. 1t was suspected that the boy had
been in communication with the tnsur-
gents.
To make Pardone confess ne was
stripped and suspended by the arms
while anish lieutenant whipped
the boy 81 the bare flesh with a heavy
whip. PardOnes back, shoulders, and
breast We're soon a bleeding pulp and
he was shriedng in agony Then the
officer asked PardCne II he had done
certain things and in his terrible pain
the boy would scream. Yes, Yes"
This was then written as the boys
deposition. Such things are of daily
occurrence in the Cabanas and at night
Volleys of musketry are frequently
heard The next day the prisoners
know what these voIeys mean when
they miss the faces of well known
prisoners and from ten to fifteen are
crowded in a cell
There are several Americans in Ca
banas. among them being Americans
captured with the schooner COmpeti-
tor. Part Of these are in one cell and
part In another. Julio Sanguilly is al
so imprisoned there. He is given a
separate cell Numbers Of Cubans
have been found at their homes suffer
ing from wounds and have been drag
ged away and thrown in the dungeons
of Fort Cabanas The people in Moro
are mostly 'PaciicOs'-that is, people
who were captured at their homes on
suspicion of sympathizing with the in
surgents."
