An Actor in Jail.

There was an exciting search for king
in New York yesterday afternoon. Ills
Majesty was found behind bars In the
Tombs prison and released just In time 10

royal palace of Bulgaria and pose with
in Abbey's Theater
The king was Timiski, ruler of Bulga-
ria, better known as Joseph W. Herbert,
actor and aul hor, whose fertile brain gave
forth the burlesque "Thrilby." He is the
main support of Lillian Russell.
Mr. Herbert lot has not been happy
one since June 25, when Emil Dickman,
clerk, of Bro 'dway and Thirty-nfth
street, trespassed on the actors happil..
ness with a subpoena in hand and civil
suit in mind. Timiski, 1T is said, arose
in his kingly might and planted his right
on the servers optic, and followed IL up
with Fitzsimmons shook, after which
the clerk could see no more. The king
was not in his gardens, and he fell easy
prey to policeman. In Jefferson Market
ourt he was held for trial in $500 bail.
The case was called on November Il in
the court of special sessions, but the king
at at moment was reigning in a New
England town, and bail was forfeited.
He returned with his company two weeks
ago.
He was leaving Abbey's Theater when
an officer with a warrant hailed him. The
actor and officer hustled around to the
theaters for bali, but every one felt sorry
they were so short of cash. he unfortu-
nate king was in a cell two hours after be
had paced the royal gardens and basked
in the sunshine of the smiles of the God
dess OF Truth, and he remained there ali
night
When arraigned i'm court he was held
for trial, and in default of bail was com
ed to the Tombs. He was due at the
Theater at O'Clock, and when the king
4 lied to appear there search was begun,
anG when Herbert was found in the
Tombs bail was furnished for him.

Monseigneur clapped his hands and
swore freely. "Dieu henisse!" he cried.
"It is the dog sure enough. Here,
Flore Flore!" Then, as the dog
jumped on us and licked his hand, he
turned TO me. "Lucky for you, ras-
call" he cried, in good humor. There

But the steward with thrust OF his
knee against my hip, which showed
me that he had not forgiven my blow,

hour from Flanders, and were being
