Several years ago the count" sprang
into notoriety by the alleged power he
had gained over a married couple in
Holcomb valley. He got the woman un-
der his influence, it is said, and caused
her to secure a divorce from her hus-
band and marry him. In addition to
this, the count" it was claimed at the
time. succeeded in hypnotzing the ex
husband and compelling him to accom-
pany the former wife on her honeymoon
with himself
The trouble yesterday morning with
Madden grew out of an old grudge which
has existed between the men. Hubert
claims that Madden owes him s19. 80, due
for attendance at his developing cir
cles, and has of late written several
threatening letters, calling on Madden
to pay debt he claims he does not owe,
and also threatening him, unless he
ceases to villify the count" who also
calls himself "Zoroaster." He and Mad
den met in the park and warm words
passed. ending by Hubert raising his
cane to strike, but being bowled over by
his opponent. The couple were arrested
and escorted to jail. but no complaint
was filed against them in the police
court. and they were discharged.

From the detailed reports presented
yesterday by the chairmen of the DIFF

standpoint the floats Will be marvels

TALKS WITH TRAVELLERS

Harry CoSson Clarke, the clever COM
edian, is almost as good raconteur as
an actor. 1t Is only necessary to get
MIN started once, and then one is as
sured of a pleasant hours entertain
ment.
He was chatting with some friends at
the Van Nuys the other evening, during
the course of which he related little
incident that happened several years
ago at Oil City, Pa, which is worth re-
peating.
"At that time" said Mr.. Clarke.
George Reynolds, who has since be-
come dead alike to fame and fortune,
was producing number of tragedies
among which was King Henry V.
"One of the scenes, the battle of Agin-
court, was very elaborately staged. The
dead were lying three deep when King
Henry makes his appearance on a
white charger. 1t happened that Rey-
nolds did not have a horse of his own,
which he transported around as part
of the staging, but depended upon hir-
ing one in the town where he was show
ing. In this particular instance he ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in find
ing an animal that would answer the
purpose. Not but what there were
plenty of white horses, but 1t was hard
to find one quiet enough to bring upon
the stage.
After several unsatisfactory rehear-
sails, it was finally decided to have then
first public appearance in the city. The
eventful night came and large audi
ence was present. Everything went well
and it was hoped that the battle scene
would go off all right. The interest OF
the audience was worked up to high
pitch when the curtain rose, disclosing
the battlefield with the heaps of dead
piled around
Then King Henry put in an appear
ance, mounted upon his white charger
Just as he reached the stage and al the
sound of the prancing horse, one of the
dead men cooked up his head and, TAX
ing in the situation at a glance, quietly
crawled away. His example was fol-
lowed by another, and then another. BY
the time King Henry had fairly started
on his lament at the scene around hin
there was not dead man in sight. Rey-
nolds was wild. Never was genera
more chagrined at the cowardice OF his
forces The audience, however, realized
the situation and was inclined to appre-
ciate the joke"
"There is a spotter in the employ OF
the San Francisco Market-street rail-
/ way company" observed w. p. Ever
hart, who Is at the Hollenbeck, who
eats peanuts as an assistance TO mis-
memory. He gets on a car with a GER
tain number of peanuts in his pocket
say sixty, and eats one for every pas
senger who gets on board. When he
leaves the car he counts the peanuts
he has left, and If he has thirty he
knows there were thirty passengers on
that run. One OF the conductors who
saw him cour ting his peanuts recently
noticed that he hooked guilty. and spoke
of II to some of A.is fellow workmen, who
afterwards watched him and found out
his system. II was very clever trick
hut every artificial device VIII sooner
or later be found out. The spotter who
relies altogether on his memory is the
only one who has chance of remaining
| undetected."

Fell From an Electric Car

A blacksmith, named Neil Glass, was
brought to the receiving hospital at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon on stretch
er, being supposed to have been serious
ly injured by a fall from an electric car
on Spring street, between Eighth and
Ninth. An examination by the police
surgeon failed TO disclose any injury
mora severe than a cut on the upper lip
and a bump on the forehead. Glass had
been drinking and fell from the car head
foremost. being picked up in an ineensi-
bic condition couple of stitches were
taken in his lip after which he was sent
to his home on Pico street.
