An Aetor,a pese.

It is told Of a well known actor, now
dead, that he would never take any physic,
and his medical adviser was often obliged
to resort to some strstagem to impose q
dose on him.
There is play in which the hero is SEN
fenced in prison to drink cup Of poison.
The actor was playing the part one night
and had given directions for the cup to
be hlled with port, but what was his hor-
ror when he came to drink it to find it
contained dose Of SIENNA. To throw 1t
away was out OF the question, as he had
10 turn the goblet upside down to show

INTO CHICAGO RIVER
Harry Harmon Plunges From the Top
of a Six Story Building.

Chicago, Dec. 30-Harry Harmon, a
bridge jumper, plunged from the top of
a six story building into the Chicago
river yesterday afternoon. Pedestrians
crossing Rush street bridge at 1 O'Clock
saw a man walk to the end of a plank
extended from the roof of the building
at Four River street and deliberately
fall backward toward the water. The
feat was performed privately to settle
a wager.
The man fell almost perpendicularly
from the plank It seemed he would
strike the dock and be crushed The
spectators stood speechless, but the di-
YER fell safely. A few seconds later he
was hauled to the landing by means of
a rope. Harmon was slightly injured
by the fall Small pieces of ice partial
~ submerged struck his face when the
water closed over him and cut a deep
cash under his right eye.
