shot tne stnee Villain.

Die, vlllainT shouted the brave negro
in the climax of the Midnight Alarm
as he sprang at the throat Of the stage
rascal who was on the point of numbering
his employer. and pressed a revolver to
his face, says the Kansas City Journal.
There was a fash and then a loud report
rang out in the Gilliss Opera House. The
villain sank to his knees with a cry of
pain and a stream of blood could be seen
trickling down his chin just as the cur
tain rang down. 1t was magnificent ef-
fort. and the audience cheered and APP
was not rung up.
Behind the scenes Eugene Kay, the
heavy villain in the play, was holding
a big sponge over the left side of his face
while Will H. Everts, who played the
part of the negro, was quaking with fear
and actresses in tights and extremely abb
breviated dresses ran about through the
dressing rooms looking for they did not
know what, but they returned with brush
es and bottles of face paint tooth brushes
and bowls of water. One cold blooded ac-
tress had enough presence of mind to
bring a broom. One of the actors called
the police surgeon.
Kay had been shot in the left side of
the face with a blank cartridge. The pa
per on the cartridge had struck him near
the nose while the whole side of his face
was filed with powder AT first it was
thought the sight of both eyes had been
totally destroyed, and the other men,
bers of the company were much alarmed.
Everts did not intend TO pull the trigger
when he did, but in his struggle with the
villain he accidentally pressed the trig
ger while the muzzle OF the revolver was
directly lin Kay's face. Before the am
bulance and surgeon arrived at the thea
ter, it was found that neither eye had
been seriously injured, although there
were several powder marks on the left
eyeball.
The audience did not know but that the
agony of the wounded man as he fell on
the stage floor was a part of the pro-
gramme, which Kay was able to render
very realistic, and. noting this, there was
a hustle among the actors to finish the
fifth act. 1t was a question as to what
should be done to cover up the absence
of Kay in the act.
He's committed suicide after being cap
tured," announced the director to the
anxious actors gathered about him
Here's your lines now" he continued
to one of the actors, as he recited a dra-
matte line to the effect that the villain
had committed suicide and robbed them
of their game. Then he turned TO an
other and gave out another line, which
was to convey the surprise of one of the
Villains enemies. And while Kay was be-
ing loaded into the ambulance to be TAX
en- to police headquarters and have the
powder picked from bis face, the other
actors were arranging impromptu lines
telling of his death by suicide Although
the fifth act was not exactly in keeping
with IT'S sketch on the programme, the
audience was none the wiser after see
ing It.

His Awkward auestions.

He had been silent for some time, evil
IDENTIFY turning over in his mind the facts
that had been brought TO. his attention,
says the Chicago Times-Herald. Like
the average boy, he wasn't much on faith.
He liked to have things demonstrated con-
clusively But perhaps. he went a little
farther than the average boy in his hard
headed way of looking at things. Any
how, after awhile his hand went up as
an indication that he wanted to ask "a
question.
what is it?" asked the teacher.
"Did you say that warm air rises?' he
inquired.
Il did" she replied eff you should get
a step-ladder, for instance you would find
the air near the ceiling of this room much
warmer than that near the floor. 1t is
that tendency to rise that is utilized in
heating house by furnace. If the hot
air didn't rise the furnace would be, of no
USE"
"Sure about that?" answered the boy.
"Why, of course" answered the teach
err. You can find it demonstrated in
dozen different ways every day
The boy relapsed into silence for a time,
and then the hand went up again.
Say" he said, when he had got the at
tention of the teacher, lis the roof the
only thing that keeps that hot air from
going higher?"
Certainly" replied the teacher. 'Didn's
you ever see a hot-air balloon?"
''Ye-es,' I guess So"
"Well the ceiling doesn't stop that, does
it? 1t works all right in the open air,
doesn't it?''
"Ye-es.'
A second time the boy relapsed into 81
lence, and then the hand went up for
third time
Did you ever climb a big mountain?'
he inquired.
I'm sorry TO say I never had the OBJ
portunity," answered the teacher.
"Or go up in a balloon?''
mo"
'Well, my father told me about a man
he knew once who climbed a mountain
right in the summer time and came back
with a frost-bitten nose. How did he
get it?"
Then, while the teacher was endeavor-
ing to recover from the shock of this
startlingly sudden Interrogation, the bow
demanded to know how high a man could
go in balloon before he would be over
come by the heat.

The fair girl chung to him despairingly.
Her golden tresses swept over his manly
chest and her blue eyes filed with tears
glistened in the dim gas light, says the
Philadelphia Times.
You must not go. Don't go, Reginald"
she pleaded. His name was John. but she
called him Reginald. II don't want YOU
to co. She unclasped one hand and be-
gan to smooth his hair. IT had always
worked before this, she murmured to her
self. Don't go, pleasep'
His voice shook. but he was firm. DUTY

not daring to meet her eyes
Oh, you horrd thing, you never think

glance was directed sternly at a still life
picture of oranges, fish, cigarettes and ice
water. She made an effort, and tears we'll

If you go-I'll-Ill-cry-I'l l-cry-so-

its mass of golden hair, on his broad chest
while her shoulders heaved convulsively
What could he do? What could he say?
He looked helplessly at the fair Young
girl. Then he faltered Don't cry. Ell
I'll do anything-Pll-I promise-I won't

changed. You won't go. She stiffened in

you're horrid If you don't, so there. They'll

time she was crying in earnest.
An hour later John Augustus departed
a sadder, wiser man. He will enlist. And
the fair girl will weep again when he
marches away to the front.

snnin,s AIistnke-

A day or two ago we published a dis
patch from Madrid to the effect that the
Governor General of the Philippine ISL
ands had been ordered by the Spanish gov
eminent not to comply with Admiral Dew
eys demand for the surrender Of Manila,
but to resist to the death"
In our dispatches this morning it is stat
ed that the insurgents are committing all
sorts Of excuses. and that Admiral Dewey
cannot control them. There is
reason for thinking that the re-
ports from Manila are somewhat
exaggerated. sUl it is not at all
improbable that the insurgents are making
war upon the Spanish after their own
fashion. But why doesn't the Spanish
Governor General surrender TO Admiral
Dewey if he cannot control the situation?
1t is not to be supposed that the insurgents
will recognize Admiral Dewey's authority
as long as the Spaniards insist upon being
recognized as having supreme authority.
If the Spanish Governor General were to
surrender Manila TO Admiral Dewey the
situation would be changed from war to
peace at once ne Insurgents WChAb SttD-
nit TO the authority of the United States,
and would obey Admiral Dewey. For the
destruction of life and property now said
to be going on Admiral Dewey is not 10
blame Spain is to blame, because she
will not permit her Governor General to
surrender Manila to the United states.
SPANS folly in this matter is hard to
understand. Admiral Dewey, according
20 his own report, could take Manila with
out much effort. He does not do so be-
cause he hasn't the men necessary to hold
IL. He has only enough men TO properly
man his fleet. 1t will not be long, how
ever. before he will have troops at his dis
posal and then he will take possession of
Manila. and of course the Philippines.
But Spain could in the meantime save
many lives and great deal Of property by
ordering the Governor General at1Manila.
to surrender at once.

INC cuttine OF the cabIe.

Just prior to the breaking out of the
war some public men and newspapers in
this country and In Europe began dis
cussing the status OF submarine tele-
graphic cables in times of war. and by the
time Dewey had arrived al Manila they
had the question tied up into a very nice
knot. Nobody knew precisely how to I'M
ravel it. But Dewey solved the cable
problem after the manner Of Alexander's
treatment of the Gordian knot. He cut
it. The cutting of the cable. however, did
not end the Incident; It was merely the
beginning of II. There viii have to come
a settlement hereafter Happily, however,
there is not the least probability that the
settlement will involve anything more than
a matter of dollars and cents; how much
damages viii have to be paid for the in
terruption of the business of the cable
company.
The cable from Hong Kong to Manila is
the property of the Eastern Telegraph
Company of London. It's ownership, there
fore. is vested in citizens of a neutral
country. An officer Of the department of
state in Washington was recently quoted
in respect to the matter of cutting cables
as saying that it is a recognized principle
of International law that if the property
of the citizens of neutral country is de-
-stroyed or damaged by either of the bel
ligerent nations, the nation inhictng the
loss or injury must pay damages. AT the
time the official made the statement it
was the opinion that the Spaniards at Ma
Mia had cut the cable; but he probably
would have said the same thing if he had
known that the wire had been cut by or
der of Commodore Dewey in order to pre-
vent0the Spaniards from communicating
with their home government.
The breach in the cable was made some
miles from the shore. The time and trou-
bic required to reestablish the connection
wiilehave to he considered, as well as the
loss by the company of a good deal of bus
mess that would have paid it handsomely.
The probabilities are that an expert board
will estimate the pecuniary loss sustained
by the cable company, and that the United
States will promptly pay the damages,
thus closing the incident of the cable.
Uncle Sam will. of course. include the
amount paid the cable company in the in
demnity bill which he will present to
Spain.

love of the woman agreed to secure certain

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. NAY 13, 1898.

The Louisiana constitutional convention
has concluded its labors. after sitting ap-
proximately three months. The new con-
stitution is said to be the most volumin-
GUS in the United States. comprising
1900 words In the main the instrument
is said TO be a reproduction, with some
celebrations, of the former constitution
There are. however. half dozen or so
radical changes. The most important Of
these cover the matters of the ballot,
registration and the judiciary. The suff-
rage section embraces the educational
and property qualifications. together with
various provisos which create what have
been locally called the ''papoose, q" 'squaw''
and privileged dago'' votes, and have
brought about a considerable division of
opinion in the state. This part of the
constitution, in the opinion Of some of
the ablest constitutional lawyers in the
country, is in antagonism to the federal
constitution, nevertheless it has beer
adopted. The state press of Louisiana
has not a very high opinion of the new
constitution.

They Want to Go to War.

1t seems that the Seventh Regiment of
Notwithstanding. the fact that it refused
TO volunteer when offered the chance to
do So If the story that is told is true,
the Seventh wanted to go to war in ac-
cordance with its own ideas 1t wasn't
willing to accept the policy adopted by the
Governor for filing New York's quota.
Because the Governor wouldn't say that
it could volunteer as the Seventh Regi-
ment, with it's own officers, it concluded
1t wouldn't volunteer at all. The con-
c,usion the public reached was that It
didn't want 10 go into active service, and
said so quite plainly. Then the soldiers
of the Seventh felt hurt. They couldn't
stand having their courage and patriotism
questioned, and so they have been seek
ing for way to get into the service of
the United States without complying with
the requirements of the Governor Of New
York.
1t is alleged that the President has
agreed to extend to the regiment a special
call. That is what the New York papers
say, 1t is. expected also that the regi-
nient will besordered to Tampa within
few days for service in Cuba. If not
sent 70 Tampa it may be ordered to some
point on the Southern coast.
IL the Presidents. has shown the Seventh
Regiment of New York any particular
favor he has made mistake. In all parts
of the country regiments and companies
desired to maintain their organiza tons
and retain their officers. They could not
do SO TO the extent they desired, and yet
comply with the law under which the can
for volunteers was made. If the Presi-
dent has made an exception in favor of
the Seventh Regiment he will find that he
has made precedent that will cause him
trouble. II will be said that the famous
New York regiment was favored because
it is composed of rich men-men of infiu-
ence A statement of that sort woula
have tendency to create bad feeling
among the other volunteers.

America, spain and France.
from Louisville courier-JOurnal Dem.)

The hostility of France to Americans and
friendship for Spain are quite illogical
France is a republic, Spain monarchy OF
the worst type. The latter country is still
ruled by the Bourbons, who were driven
out of France fifty years ago, and have
been kept out ever since. What they would
not tolerate at home. the French cherish
abroad. Besides. the friendship of America
Is in every way of more value to France
than that of Spain. which is in a position
neither to help friend nor punish a foe.

The Vizcaya, Oquendo. Carlos ". Colon.
Numancia and Maria Teresa of the Spanish
fleet which is supposed to be at Cadiz, are
commonly referred TO as f1rst-class cruis-
ers. The classification is misleading, if a
comparison IS made with our frst-class
cruisers. We have nothing in our navy like
these vessels. They are heavily armored,
while our cruisers are not. They carry
heavy guns. some of them up to eleven
inches, while the big guns of our cruisers
are eight inches. The Spaniards are very
speedy, making from sixteen to twenty
one knots. They are, as matter of fact
fast sea-going battle ships, in contradis-
tinction to line-of-battle ships like our
Iowa. They are formidable vessels, and if
they were well Differed and their guns
were well served, 1t would take hard fight
ing to whip them

The New York World of a day or two
ago eclipsed Itself in the publication of ca
bic reports. 1t actually went 10 the extent
of copyrighting a cable from its London
correspondent putting itself for an alleged
fine piece of war reporting, as if st feared
that the journal would appropriate the
puff of the World unless it were protected
by law. The World and the Journal, by the
way, have lately become very tiresome
with their Dragging, self-laudation and
shrieking of brilliant achievements in Sc
curing cables and other war news. In their
columns, as a matter of fact the war and
the news are of secondary importance; the
first consideration Is to whoop up the news
paper. Meanwhile, It may not be out of
place to observe that the best and most re-
liable cable and war news which is being
distributed now is that which comes to the
Associated Press and the New York Her
aid.
