SLABS PRIMA DONNA.
Sensational Bit of Realism Not on
Programme at st. Louis
Theater.

just before the curtain fell the 9th
er night upon the opera 81 Pagliacci" at
me Century theater, st. Louis, an acct
cent occurred which may prove serious
to the prima donna. 1t was bit Of
realism entirely unexpected by the par.
Elephants, and proved great shock to
the audience.
At the close of the opera the tenor,
Francisco Collenz, is supposed to stab
his wife TO death. When Collenz
reached the finale he appeared TO be
carried away by the frenzy of the stu
alton, and when he drew his long knife
and plunged it toward his stage wife,
Miss MEDIA Morrison, the audience was
Mortified to observe that the keen blade
had been thrNSt into her left arm just
above the elbow. The curtain went
down Immediately. Miss Morrison
tainted and a physician was called and
urcssed the wound.
Confusion prevailed in the house and
II was thought for awhile that she hat
been killed. The doctor took three long
stitches in Miss Morrison's arm. and she
was removed to her hotel. To-day she
was resting easy, but il is feared she
will not have the use of the injured
member for several weeks. The wounC
is deep and very painful.

BULLETS FIRED AT SAN JUAN.
charged at the Sixth Reg
ulaF Regiment.

"Have you any idea Of the hailstorm
Juan hill ?" said one of the officers OF
the Sixth the other evening while at
supper with several of his fellow Of
ficers. who had been in the battle. This
started the discussion. and Capt. Ken
non figured out approximately how
many bullets were fred at the Sixth on
that eventful day.
Gathered mp on the top OF the hill
were 800 Spaninrds and with their
Mausers they could fire ten shots per
minute with the greatest ease, and this
makes $4,000 bullets which were rained
down on the Sixth every minute. The
battle lasted for an hour and a half
which is 90 minutes. and there were 90
times $4,000 bullets fired. for the firing
was steady and did not slack up ut any
time. This makes 1.350.C00 bullets
which were fired at the Sixth during the
engagement, and with these figures be-
fore one ii is easy to understand why
only some so of the brave boys who
marched out of the city last April re-
| turned.
The estimate of the number of bull
lets fred given above is conservative. as
the Mausers can easily fire 90 shots per
minute. and it is probable that nearly
2,OO0.O00 bullets were in the storm OF
! lead which the Sixth weathered.

The developments of the next few
months are likely to shut the mouths of
those papers which are calling for an
other revision of the tariff, looking to
more revenue. The receipts have
steadily increased month by month
since the Dingley law went into effect
and are larger for December than in
any previous month. The expendi-
lures will be large and though the re-
ceipts will undoubtedly be larger than
in December, there viii probably be a
deficit again. But the revenue is con-
stantlv increasing, and with the earnest
effort being made by the republicans to
keep down the expenses, it is only a
question of short time when a regular
monthly surplus will be the order of
things. The claims made by the friends
Of the Dingley law that the end of the
present fiscal year would show a total
wiping out of the deficit seem to be
about right.

OF all diseases, Bright's Disease of
the kidneys is the most dangerous, on
account of It's subtle and insidious ma
ture. Usually it is firmly fixed before
its presence is even suspected by its
victim. For this reason it is important
that the treatment be commenced on
the appearance of the first symptoms.
Even then it requires careful treatment
to stav its progress. Pains in the back
irregularities in the urine, swelling of
the limbs or abdomen, should be the
subject of instant investigation and the
proper remedy Immediately applied.
