Mounet, Sully,C1quelin an Rejane.
That siren smile Of hers must have
illuminated the stage OF the theatre
of the Porte ST. Martin when she
heard of the Yankee public's re-
Spouse to the best efforts OF this
trio of artists. When she steps
aboard the steamer today at
Havre, New York bound, she will
have all the confidence Of a con-
queror who is to win in fields
where rivals have bit the dust.
Bernhardt is between fifty and
sixty now. She made her first
triumph way back in 1869. But
whpn she glides upon the stage OF
Abbey's theatre In few days the
audience will scarcely believe her
more than half that age. This
time she will show Americans her
"Gismouda," a creation In which
her cat.like movement and pas
siouate abandon have full play.
Those who see her in that
role will be unable to believe that
the actress has passed the years Of
dangerous emotion, but will see In
her their old-time favorite, who
alone OF al sstage women can real
ize the conception Of her who
"lures mems souls to the shores OF
sin with the light Of her wanton
eyes" Bernhardt will not forget
her old successes We shall see
her slowly fading Camille, her pas
sionate Theodore. and her fierce
La Tosca. Some OF her enemies
say that she has been devoting so
much time to the management OF
her renaissance theatre, which
she recently undertook, that her
art has suffered, but those who
know this woman's many sideness
only laugh at this idea. Maybe
this suggestion, however, has
piqued her somewhat, for the last
season she spent in Brittany, Civ

as nearly as possible the life OF

for tn strain OF her American per-
formances.

Ell PAso, Feb 8.-Senor Jose de Mo-
reno and his troup of Spanish bull fight
ers have arrived at Juarez, direct from
Spain.
Moreno comes to Mexico under the
contract to Senior A n. Daguerra, the
bull fighting concessionaire for the state
of chihuahua His contract calls for
five days bull fighting at $3.50 per day,
out OF which the Spanish premier has to
pay his five assistants. Despite the fact
that Mexico is a border country, and that
the bull fighting sport has been past
time here for two hundred years or more,
there are very few Americans who know
anything of the bloody engagements be-
tween man and brute.
The fights that are billed as part and
parcel of the fistic. carnival will be
brought off just across the Rio Grande
in the arena at Juarez. Twenty wild
bulls have been captured for the fiesta
and half that number will be added be-
fore the bugle call on the initial day, to
be held as substitutes. The bulls have
been gotten from the Samalayuca bull
ranch, a vast wooded estate near Ojo
Caliente, Mexico.
The bull fights will begin at o'clock
On the afternoon of the Maher- Fitzsim-
mons battle, which will be in the fore
noon and continue daily until the last
man fght-between Jimmy Parry and
Johnny Murphy is pulled off.

Dean B0dIey and the Masonic Order
Conduct the Last Ceremonies.
When Dean Bodley pronounced the
last words of the benediction as he stood
by the side of the coffin which held the
mortal remains of E. P. Kellam this
morning he closed the history of one of
the most active of Topeka's business men
and oldest citizens.
During the morning the coffin stood
in the front parlor adjoining the room ia
which Mr. kelIam died, and until just be-
fore the services commenced the friends
of the dead man were allowed to look at
his face.
The flower pieces were simple but
rich. On the head of the coffin was a
large bunch of Gala lilies and on the
foot was mat of roses and ferns. Rest.
ing against the pedestals which held the
casket were several designs arranged
with delicate taste. They were the
tributes of friends
Stationed in one corner of the room was
a quartette, consisting of Mrs. George
w. Parkhurst, Mrs. L s. Ferry, Mr..
James Moore and Mr.. Fl. l. Shirer, and
as they chanted an anthem Dean Bodley
and Canon Miner entered the room at
tired in the dress of the Episcopal clergy.
The funeral services were interspersed
by music by the quartette and when they
were ended the pail bearers bore the
coun from the mouse. ne pan bearers
were j. S. Collins, s. s McFadden, A.
W. Knowles, G. g. Gage. r. E. Cow
drey. A. Bergen. On either side of the
walk were ranged lines of representa-
tives of the Masonic lodges, and be-
tween the lines the coffin was carried to
the hearse. Following the coffin came
Mrs Kellam, leaning on the arm of her
son, E. B. Kellam, and the other relatives
and imm ediate friends of the family.
The MaSOnS fell in line behind the
hearse and carriages and the procession
moved up Topeka avenue and down
Sixth avenue to the cemetery
At the grave the Masons took charge
of the burial and the last rites were the
Masonic burial service.

WASHINGTON, Feb 8.-AIl of Kansas
Republican congressman except Brod-

There were exactly sixteen members
on the floor and nineteen spectators in
the galleries when the house opened at
1880 this morning and the debate on the
senate silver substitute for the bond bill
was resumed. The legislative day of
yesterday still continued as the house
had been in recess over night.

Kentucky. When did it become Demo-
cratic doctrine to defeat Democratic can

The situation in Kentucky" replied
Mr.. Boatner. ''only illustrates the
destroying effect of Democrats refusing
to stand by the party platform. If the
silver Democrats would abide by the
declaration of the party made in conven-
ton we would not today be threatened
with the loss of a senator from that state"
''We are threatened with the loss of
senator in Kentucky" retorted Mr.. Bart
lett, "because men who are not in the
majority seek to control. | want to say
that whether in the maj GRITTY or minority
wherever the Democratic flag floats there

"If the Democratic national convention

gold candidate" interposed Mr.. Skinner
(Rep. N c. will you support the
ticket"
Il will vote for any man." replied Mr..
Bartlett, (which the majority of the
Democrats nominate in convention"

interests of the people on the altar of

body of the young man. The walls of
the room were draped with heavy black
curtains, and during the trip to this port
the body was watched day and night by
