Miss Isabel Pangra, Elihu R. Spen-
GERS leading lady, is considered one of
the most beautiful actresses on the
stage. AS Juliet one enthusiastic press
writer declares "she is dream Of Flor
entine loneliness, whose girlish grace
and innocent righteousness impress
themselves indelibly upon the memory
and cause the auditor to fall in love
with her before the close of the first
act" Elihu r. Spencer's "Shylock Is
called reflex Of the past shows more
truly and with greater fidelity the Jew
that Shakespeare drew than any Of
his CONTEMPORARIES on the stage to-day
MIR. Spencer is the young American ira
gedlan who appears at the Opera House
on Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday matinee. and is said by the
New York Mercury TO be the greatest
'Iago" on the American stage.
"a Little Busybody' was presented
by Miss Akerstrom at the Grand Opera
House last evening. II close attention
to the plot and roars of laughter at the
many humorous hits, is an evidence or
interest. those who were present Ger
tainIy enjoyed themselves to the ut
most. That is what the people go TO
the theatre for-to be entertained and
amused, to forget the cares and worries
of the day. Every play that accom-
plishes this mission is good one; II
helps to smooth over the rough places
in life. and when company like Miss

MONEY BY SUBSCRIPTION.
Funds to Send Victims Of the Mad
Dog 10 the Pasteur Institute

Testing Uneasiness on Account
Of the Illness Of Huggins-Hug-
gings' Recovery IS Not Looked
Fora Citizens Generous Offer.
| The serious illness of VIM. Z. Hug
gins, one Of the persons who were Dit
ten by the mad dog some time ago, mas
/ occasioned considerable alarm among
the other victims of the maddened
brute. particularly as the attending
physicians entertains no hope Tor the
recovery Of Higgins. There now ap-
pears 10 be no doubt that the dog was
afflicted with rabies. 1t will be re-
membered that several persons VINO
were bitten manifested no alarm at the
time, on account of the slight nature
OF their injuries, as well as the belief
, that the dog was not mad.
The critical illness of Higgins, and
his hopeless condition, have caused
much uneasiness among the victims OF
the dog. as well as their friends, and
inquiries concerning the condition or
Mr.. Higgins have been very frequent
since his illness was first announced.
( OF all the persons who are bitten, there
are probably none who are placed Ill
such a condition that they cam secure
the money to defray the expense OF the
trip to New York, and treatment at the
Pasteur Institute.
Last evening Mr.. Joseph Speidel an
nounced that he will head popular
subscription list with $25, the fund to
go toward paying the expenses OF treat
ment for any of the other victims VINO
desire to place themselves under treat
ment at the Pasteur Institute. NO
doubt other citizens will contribute lib
orally TO this fund TO enable victims
of the dog to save their lives.
The condition OF VIM. z. higgins
has not changed materially. DR.. Bagu-
ley stated yesterday that Higgins was
about the same as the day before, and
that the boy was holding his own, al
though the physician had no hopes for
his recovery. Dr. J. A. Campbell has
written to the Pasteur Institute, ask
ing if it would be too late for the other
victims of the mad dog to go and get
treatment. He expects an answer IN
day or so. The other parties who re-
fused 10 go to New York, like Huggins,
are feeling somewhat alarmed. Officer
Zimmerman. who was the worst bitten,
says that he feels safe and has felt
no alarm since he passed through the
Pasteur treatment.

THE MAN WITH THE MUSICAL
 HEART.

Oliver Lindsay, "the man with the musical heart" died yesterday at his home No 913 East Sixteenth street. He was lath contractor, a physical phe- nomenon and a temperance text.
 The doctors said he had every dis ease with a pronounced name and every attendant complication of unpronounce- able name. and he had "a musical heart" also. He was the only man that ever did have "a musical heart" But his heart sang only when he drank to excess, and now his heart strings are broken and the doctors are explaining why he ever had a heart, why it sang, and why it's song is ended now.
 But they do not agree as to wherein lay the making of the strange sounds.
 The post -mortem examinationWashe held by Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Dannaker this morning, but they could not ind any new cause of the strange sounds. Lind say was a clinic of diseases, and had been exhibited before divers medical congresses throughout the country. It was generally stated that excessive use of alcoholics had contracted one of the valves of his heart until with every influx or election of blood therefrom 1t sounded a surging song, sometimes al- most a screech, but always loud and strangely human. 1t was at one time thought to be ventriloquist's trick but it was established that it was val vular lesion, with uncommon sound ings. And the more he drank the more it sang.
 It sang him to death yesterday. kan sas City Star

This would be change of position in the sections, but the issue would remain. "As for the ticket that is presented by the republican party, there ought to be no division of opinion among re- publicans. Governor Bushnell has proved to be an able and excellent off, cer, has performed his duties to the entire satisfaction of the people, has been honest and faithful and deserves your hearty support.
 'The election of legislature in Ohio is always important. Its action more directly affects the people of Ohio than even the action of congress. The cleo ton of a senator in the United States is involved in the election of a legisla- ture. The only republican candidate who is mentioned is Mark A. Hanna, who is now serving out the remainder of the term to which I had the honor to be elected. His wide experience as a business man, his generous and kind ly treatment of his employees; his sound judgment on all public questions of the day ought to secure for him the hearty support of every republican member of the legislature. I will on Tuesday next, Providence permitting, go to Mansfield and contribute my vote not only for his election, but for the election of the entire republican ticket.

GAMBIING EMBOSSED.

A new business has been started at 791 Chapel street, namely that of expos ing gamblers and their methods, John r. Quinn, reformed gambler himself, is the proprietor of the plant, and not the least interesting part of his rather unique exhibition. As he sits behind his green covered table with cards, faro bank, roulette wheel, etc, of q gam bler's stock in trade, MT. Quinn does not look like a man who has spent time behind prison bars. Before he shuffles the cards he asks his little audience to remove their hats and makes a brief prayer. He then proceeds to show that the gambler is absolutely sure of win ming at all the games which he plays, unless for reasons of policy he lets someone else win.
 Thus every time MT. Quinn held the winning hand of cards, showing that the roulette wheel is under the abso- lue control of the gambler, and that what walnut shell the pea is under it takes more than a novice to guess right.
 Dice as manipulated by him show up sixes at his will and in rogue ct noir red or black come out just as he says.
 An assistant shows in another room how gamblers win money every time on wheels of fortune, drop machines and other gambling paraphernalia.
 Don't go there with the expectation of learning how to do these things yourself, for that is not the object. of the school, and you will only learn that you play against unmeasurable adverse fortune when you play with gamblers.
 Mir. Quinn says that one student who lost his yearly allowance of $3,000 at Long Branch gambling places was con- vinced by his exhibition Monday night how foolish he was and has sworn to give up gambling in the future.
 Many students visit the room and MT. Quinn says he may address a meet ing of Yale students before he leaves here. He has a motley audience to lis- ten to him usually.

ONLY A FEW MEASUREMENTS.

Mr. Editor: Once upon time I was
very much amused by the story of
scientist and Calls tail. It was in the
good old days when the sign over the
door of every business house was some
emblem of the trade carried on within;
thus We still have boot for the shoe
maker, wheel for the wagon maker,
while the tanner hung out pair of horns
and the tail of hide to indicate his call
ing. Among the latter was one who bored
two-ipch sugnr hole in his door and
hung through this hole calf's tail. Here
came so-called scientist, who, seeing the
tail, streightaway set himself down for
whole day to learn how the calf got
through that hole and left only his tail
hanging out. I never really believed this
yarn, till few days since when the report
of the committee appointed by the Ma
tional academy of sciences, upon the in
auguratioh of forest policy for the
United States, was called to my attention,
This report is most severe and unwar
ranted attack upon the sheep industry of
those sections of the United States where
sheep are pastured upon public lands, and
this includes large portion of our fair
territory of New Mexico. As we read, we
wonder to whom these "scientists" went
for their information, till we come to this
sentence: "In every western state and
territory the sheepmen are dreaded and
despised." All! the murder is out. 1t is
the other fellow who wants the grass the
sheep consume who has had the ear of our
scientists and taught them to say: "Sheep
husbandry has already seriously damaged
the mountain forests" bleeding as they
travel to the upper alpine meadows they
carry desolation with them," "the feet OF
these 'hoofed locusts' tread out the plants
sheep do not relish, and, looseDing the
forest floor, produce conditions favorable
to floods" "their destruction Of the under
growth of the forest and of the sod of
pine meadows hastens the melting of
snow in spring and quckens evaporation"
"by destroying Seeding trees, prevents
natural forest reproduction and ultimately
destroys the forests themselves" and then
they appeal to American prejudice by
saying: "These bands of sheep are often
owned by Foreigners"
The merest tyro of a sheep herder, to
whom book is an enigma, and whose
learning has been gained only in the hills
could teach them better wisdom than
this. These "hoofed locusts," never tread
on anything but the ground if they eau
help it, and 60 around the plants "sheep
do not relish" Sheep husbandry has
destroyed the pot hunters paradise and
"carries desolation" only to some other
industry which wants the grass the sheep
consume. Sheep would starve before
