If the fact that ones name appears
seven times on a single program in a
self-asseTtive manner is any proof. Mr..
Hi Henry. whose minstrels We're at the
Grand Opera House last week, has an
opinion of himself that viii require a spe-
cial car for shipping purposes Not that

Henry does, and himself as talented q
cornetst as Mr.. Henry is has not per-
feet and incontestable right TO good

it is 50 displeasing to have conceit pa

There Is the greatest difference in the
world between the acting of Mr. and Mrs.
Suss Whytall and it is not at all 20 the
credit Of the feminine half OF the partner
ship. Mr.. Whytal is evidently a clever
man who has written fair play-one
that now and then springs into temporary
eScelIeuce-aud who knows how 10 act
the roles he has created, While Mrs
Whytal has tried nothing in the play
writing line she is certainly in no sense
of the word a good actress Her work
is abrupt and often meaningless. lacking
totally the shading and the climaXical
effects that made such a part pleasing
Her work lies on an even plane of emo
tiOnaHsm that gives no room for admira-
ton. because il leaves none for compar-
ison. She never comes down 10 the leye'
of everyday Hfe-her face never loses
that look of anguish that might be caus-
ell by anything from excessive feeling 70
a too profuse use of crabs and ice cream
as an internal prescription. Altogether.
it seems that Mr.. Whytal is a good man
hampered by a desire to star, hindered
by a play that is only fair and handi-
capped by a wretched company, not the
best member of which is his own wife

Perhaps the most notable feature OF The
weel- IN theatricals was the enthusia san
evoked by the rendering of the national
airs ~ orchestras in ali the local houses.
Victor Johnson, Hi Henry, William San
telmap, Chris Arth and Prof. Wagner
all gave the principal places on their pro-
grams to patriotic selections. while +. +.
Rice's French Maid company provoked
the widest kind of enthusiasm nightly by
singing The Star Spangled Banner in
chorus. The numbers We're greeted with
cheers and applause everywhere and the
orchestra leaders have the satisfaction OF
knowing that they have. by this timely
move, made themselves popular as well
as accomplished a noble object in dedi-
eating the most influential of all arts to
the noble service of patriotism.

And, to get back to the starting point.
there is stiH another factor in the adver-

moter Resumed at London.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The examination
of Ernest T. Hooley, the bankrupt COM
pany promoter, was resumed here to-
day. A number of lawyers were pres
ent in behalf of distinguished clients
who denied Mr.. Hooley's charges in
connection with the payment Of large
sums of money for the use of their

truth of the statements he had made.
He said in regard to the Earl of Win
chilsea that the latter himself suggest
ted that he ought to be given tl0,oUo
for joining the directorate of the Circle
Tube Company.
The Earl, witness added, said he

MARTIN THORN EXECUTED.
The Murderer Of Guldensuppe Pays
the Penalty for His Crime.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Martin Thorn
was put to death in the prison at Sing
Sing at 11:15 this morning for the
murder of William Guldensuppe.
Thorn sat up later last night than
was his custom. He talked of his par
ents, his boyhood days in Germany and
his wife's parents in this country. He
showed no nervousness, and when he
threw himself on his cot it was but a
few minutes until he was sound asleep.
Warden Sage, who went to Thorn's
cell early to-day, said of him: Thorn
told me he was not nervous, and would
die bravely. He said he was perfect
ly reconciled to his fate, and that he
made peace with his Cod He slept
well, and had no fear Of death. There
is not the slightest change in his ac-
tions. He is the same cool man who
came to the prison six months ago. His
nerve is stronger than that of any
other murderer who has been in the
death house"
Thorn told one of his keepers that
his only dread was the wait from the
time he awoke until he was summoned
TO the chair.
The condemned man received the last
sacraments of the Roman Catholic
church.
When summoned to the execution
chair, Thorn showed no emotion, walk
ed to it quickly, repeating prayers after
the attending priest. There was no
untoWard incident in connection with
the execution and after the current had
been turned on 90 seconds Thorn was
dead

The Devils Isle.

An old Italian Republican, Tibaldi,
now living in Rome, has given a
graphic description of the Devils Isle,
where the miserable Dreyfus is now
languishing, to an Italian journalist.
Tibaldi, for offending the French au-
thorities, was caught at Paris in 1889,
and dispatched to the ill-famed island,
where he spent thirteen years. This is
his description: Bare rocks. Not a
vestige of green whereon the eye might
rest Here and there an old tree with
dried UP branches. Some miserable
huts Everywhere a sense of misery
and desolation. A burning sun. You
could not call the island by a better
name than that which it bears. Dur
ing the day fishing and hunting. AT
night the convicts are crowded into a
narrow, stuffy room"
No wonder that the old Republican
thought of nothing but flight. And fly
he did. and his companions with him.
They bribed the natives to help them.
On stormy nights they got out, went to
their necks into the sea. caught drift
wood, carried it to hiding place, con-
structed a rough boat and one sum-
mer's night put out TO sea. A hurri-
cane threw their skiff against rock,
they were cast ashore, and fled into the
virgin forest At daybreak the blood
hounds were at their heels, and they
were recaptured and cast into irons.
Only the general amnesty of February,
1870. set them free, and Tibaldi remains
to tell the tale.-Westminster Gazette.

S0LLY SMITH AND

The Fight Of the FeatherWsights
Declared a Draw
After Twenty-Five Rounds Had Been
Brought Off.
The Decision Not Satisfactory to
the Audience Attending, the
Majority of the People bel1ev-
ing White Should Have Been
Given the Decision.

CONEY ISLAND, Aug. IA draw
was the decision rendered tonight at
the Greater New York Athletic Club,
Coney Island, after Tommy White Of
Chicago and Solly Smith Of Los Ange-
les had fought twenty-five rounds to
decide the featherweight championship
of the world.
The men met at 122 pounds. Dave
Sullivan was at the ringSide to chal-
lenge the winner, and will deposit ST.
600 tomorrow to bind a match with
White. The very best judges of boxers
who witnessed the fight all agree that
White had won fairly and squarely.
Smith was the first to enter the ring
with his seconds, Jimmy Rose, Billy
Selfridge, Johnny Connors and Jimmy
Allen. Sam Fitzpatrick held the
watch for Smith. Tommy White got
through the ropes at twenty minutes
after IL o'clock. His handlers We're
Billy Madden, Gus Rubin, Charley
Goff and Jack McAuliffe. 1t was an
nounced that the men would box tWen-
ty-fve rounds and continue sparring
until ordered to break away by the ref
cree.
The first round was featureless, but
in the second Smith swung a hard left
that put Whites eye in mourning, and
in the third jabbed his right to the
eye, drawing blood, though he received
several hard body blows in return.
In round four Smith sent left to
the head, followed by right swing to
the head that sent White to the floor.
Rounds five, six, seven and eight
We're full Of lively sparring, but not
important. In the ninth Solly again
started blood from Whites damaged
eye.
In round twelve a left on the head
brought Smith to his knees.
At the end of the thirteenth round
Smiths nose was bleeding freely. Some
stiff blows We're exchanged in the sue
ceeding rounds, but the Fifteen, six
teenth and seventeenth rounds were
tame.
In the eighteenth White swung his
left to the head and turned SolIy
around. Solly replied with a right

left in the mouth. When they came up

Cattle Are Not Dying by Thousands
in Fresno Valley.

FRESNO, Aug. Information re-
ceived from the various cattle-raising
centers of this district show that re-
ports as to thousands of animals dying
have been greatly exaggerated The
cattle are thin in many parts Of the
district, but few have died from lack of
water.
The stock Of Miller & Lux is in the
best condition, being fed on alfalfa On
the Kings and lower San Joaquin Riv-
ers many head of stock are dying from
swamp fever. This is caused by the
animals drinking water from stagnant
pools. Several hundred head, probably.
nave died in these sections
On the large ranches it locks as
though cattle will get through the sum-
mer in fair condition The smaller
places may not do so well.
Over 10000 sheep have been driven
from the National Parks during the
last few weeks. 1t is difficult to as
certain where these animals are to be
pastured until the rains come
