The Biograph.-The biograph at Willard
Hall will enter upon its sixth month in
Washington next Monday afternoon. This
marvellous device, showing motion views,
has enjoyed q most remarkable run. Never
before in the history of amusements ir this
city has eny entertainment managed to
equal this wonderful record. That interest
in the biograph Is not diminishing is amply
demonstrated by the audiences which daily
witness the exhibition. New views are
now added weekly, and beginning OH next
Monday quite a number will be added to
the already superb program. Among the
new ones will be that of the Keystone Ex-
press, which discounts the famous Empire
State Express, most marvellous view.
Another will be that of the famous horse
less fire engine, now in practical use in
Hartford, Conn. Others are '"The Pillow
Fight" showing number Of youngsters
indulging in an early morning frolic; the
'.Theater Hat" showing the amusing an
tics Of those behind one of the modern
beat making landings along that pictur-
esque stream. The Sunday night enter
tainment has proven 30 popular that the
management has decided to continue 1t
during the remaining stay Of the biograph
in this city. Those who have failed to
witness an exhibition Of the biograph have
indeed missed treat, and each day their
pressure brought to bear to take the ma
chine to other cities, next week will prob
ably be the last. Already large sums have
been expended In forfeits for falling to
take the machine to cities where engage
ments had been made. This was made
necessary on account of the patronage ex-
tended by Washingtonians. Performances
daily at $50. 4:3O and 6:15 p.m., with q
special exhibition Sunday evening at S:16.

The Star says:
Another murder has been associated
with the name of Butler. The news of
this one comes from Canadian Gully,
near Ballarat, Victoria. The police
have been informed that shortly after
the murder of Mrs. Mccarthy at that
place a few months ago, a man an
swering the description of Butler sud-
denly disappeared. Detectives have
shown a photo of Butler to two women
living in the township, and they are
positive that he was the man who was

A Harvest for the Birds.

A delivery team of one of the feed
stores in this city went up Front street,
yesterday, loaded with grain. One of
the rear bags became unfastened in
some way and the grain began to run
out upon the ground. The team left a
trail of the grain from the Haines
building to the corner of Temple street.
a distance of 300 yards. OF course. it
was not long before the doves and spar
rows discovered the fact that grain had
fallen and got to work upon it. The
doves and sparrows quarrelled over the
possession of the grain. just as We sup
pose men will quarrel over gold at
Klondike. After a short battle or a
series of short battles the doves showed
their good breeding by flying to the
upper end of the winrow of grain and
where they could have their own way.
1t was interesting to watch the spar
rows. They did not stop to eat. They
began to lay aside for a rainy day or
days when the grain would not fall
from the bags so easily The little for
eigners would load up and fly to their
nests where they would deposite their
supply of food and then return for
more. The doves seemed to be content
to fill themselves and then fly away.
Well, it's so with some men.

over the matter said he was thrown
over the heads of several people and
out through a car window. He broke

was not cut or injured in the slightest,
landing on his feet and hands several
feet from the car that was derailed
The only damage done to him was that
of fright for it was severe minutes be-
fore he could bring himself to believe
that he was not MORALLY injured. He
was asked if he would bring a suit
against the road, and he replied, that
he would not for the reason that when
he was boy he was quite an acrobat,
but he never was able to do such a
trick at tumbling as he did on that
memorable Sunday. and he felt more
like paying the company a little some
thing for the experience.

Mike on Deck Is Usual.

AS the Oakland train was pulling out
OF this station, last evening, a lady who
had waited moment too long to say
goodby to someone, started on the run
across the platform to catch 1t. Con-
ductor Michael Tulley was about to get
onto the rear end of the last car when he
saw what the woman was going to do.
He did not dare to jump on the train and
pull the line, for fear the accident which
was likely to occur would come before
he could stop the train, therefore he
started for the woman No one would
ever have accused Mike of being a
Splinter. but he developed wonderful
speed for man of his build. and just as
the woman was about to grasp the hand
rail of the car. which was at this point
moving fast enough to require training
to board it, he caught her around the
waist and pulled her away from the dan
ger that certainly menaced her. Then
both conductor and passenger were left
behind, but the express messenger pulled
the line and all went as smooth as n mar

finally got one of the station hands to
telephone down to the stage driver to
call at the station for her and sat
down to wait for him. The last train
came and went and still she waited
Then she made up her mind that the

gone to the station after passenger

the way they passed the stage, not
knowing it. Then the stage driver
went back again and the lady came
back again, but they Travelled on diff

see-sawed back and forth until the
stage driver finally concluded that it
might be best to wait and kicked him

not done so before. The lady was al
last loaded into the stage and as She
settled down into her seat she half
half exclaimed Well, there" And the
