WOMAN,S COINCIDENCE.
Wives Who Help Their Husbands In a
Display of Skill.

Wives Who Help Their Husbands In a
Display of Skill.
One of the most remarkable things to be
experienced in real life is the wonderful
confidence which is so often displayed by
woman in the man she loves. We hear
now and then of a woman who permits
herself to be carried across dizzy heights
on the back of her husband, of women
who stand with apples upon their heads in
order that their husbands may shoot them
away with rifle balls. of one woman who for
several seasons was in the habit of night
ly standing against a board screen while
her husband dexterously threw knives
around her until she was pinned in so that
she could not move from her position,
when the slightest deviation from his
wonderful skill would have meant that
one of the knives would pierce her flesh
and doubtless kill her.
Chiquta, in Mexico, used to stand in the
center of the bull ring and face fearlessly
the maddoned animal, which was induced
to charge upon her. her sole hope of escap-
ing a horrible death depending upon the
precision with which her husband should
throw his never failing lasso. And yet she
died IL natural death, for the lariat in her
husbands hands never failed to turn the
bull in time, and it was not an infrequent
occurrence that he was so drunk whom he
mounted his horse to perform the act that
he had to be assisted into the saddle There
are thousands of cases of the kind, and
they are taking place every day right be
fore our eyes, the strange part of it being
that we do not realize the truth when we
see the several acts performed.
Who, for instance, in viewing the clos
ing scene of the beautiful parasol dance at
the opening Of the third act in the MAN
DARN, pauses to think of the extraor-
binary confidence in her husbands
strength and agility which Mrs. Marion
must possess when she permits herself to
DO turned in the air like an animated cart
wheel and in a manner which, if he should
make one miss, would certainly result in
broken limbs, If not in fatal accident
1t is interesting to know how this act
originated. Sam Marion, who is the prince
OF agile performers, describes it in his own
words as follows:
Il had been out to a dinner party after
the performance one night and did not 90
to my room at the hotel until after 2 in the
morning. My wife was in bed but she had
to get up to let me in, and we were chat
ting about the performance, when sudden
ly the idea for the turn wheel popped into
my head. Come here, l said to her.
Stand with your back to me and stiffen
every joint. She didn't ask question,
but stood just said, and 1 grabbed her
and gave her the turn just as you have
seen me do it on the stage She had no
idea Of what l was going to do until it
was done, but when she landed on her feet
after the flop over she looked dazed for a
moment, and then she said, Don't YOU do
that again, Sam Marionr But all the
same have done it every night on the
stage since that time, and l regard it as
one of the best acts that ever originated {"

THE NICARAGUA CANAL
DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE is
SENT TO THE SENATE.
Maritime Canal Company has Lost It's
Concession by Failure to Perform
the Work-Favors United States.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Presi
dent today sent to the Senate the cor
respondence on file at the State De-
partment relative to the Nicaragua
canal. Probably the most important
part of the correspondence is a COM
muncation from Minister Baker to
Secretary Olney, dated February 3,
1896, in which he details an interview
with President Zelaya of Nicaragua, in
which the letter stated that he had
taken the opinion of commission of
three lawyers, who agreed that the
Maritime Canal Company had forfeited
its concession by its failure to do any
work for many years. NJ. Zelaya then
expressed to Minister Baker the hope
that the United States Government
would take up the enterprise. He said
it could be very easily arranged to
have the contract transferred to the
Government of this country, as he had
reached the conclusion that only n
great Government could put the work
through.
81 asked the President" said Baker,
''if his Government had at any time an
offer from any foreign country to take
hold of this enterprise on condition
that the existing contract should be
gotten rid of. He frankly said it had
not"
ment at President Zelaya's request, in
order that his position may be under

Had Lost His Faith I'm Them.

A theatrical manager told story against
himself the other day. An actor came to
him and applied for an engagement. There
did not seem to be much need of him, but
his demands in the way of salary were very
modest, and the manager said to him:
you may ar
Come round on Tuesday and I'll try YOU"
The newly-engaged man looked at the
manager questioningly.
How about contract?' he asked.
'Oh, never mind contract. Wen have a
verbal contract"
There was a look of mild reproach in the
eyes of the man, as he answered, sorrow
fully:
"Sir, the last time made verbal con.
tract 1 drew a verbal salary Mo.
