peared-a rather Insignificant sketch,
but one now famous, for the reason that
it was the first TO bring the three hairs
into prominence, and to make them char
acteristic of the man. From thst time
the three hairs have been associated
with his caricatures, says Henry W..
Fischer, in Bismarck in Caricature,'' in
Harper's Weekly for August u, and his
retirement from public life in 1890, was
shown by an affecting cartoon, where the
great ex-chsncellor, grip-ssck in hand,
and his famous dog at his side, is about
to say farewell to the public press for
ever. He hesitates at the doorway, and
returns to the comic editor the three
hairs, saying that, as he has no further
use for them, the cartoonist had bette
keep them for a memento.

BISMARCK III CARICATURE.

For Al years Bismarck fourished in
journalistic caricature, and there lie no
doubt but that it was this aggressive
caricature that was the initial element of
publicity that presented TO the world as
large his character as statesman, with
all his faults and some OF his great quail
tiles exaggerated. The first notice by
the comic papers enjoyed By Bismarck
occurred away back in 1910, but it was
not until 1868 that the small cut showing
Bismarck with his left hand raised and
his first finger and thumb extended sp-

THE "WHITE' MINsTRELs.

| Last Saturday evening one Of the larg-
est audiences ever gathered In the hall OF
the Green greeted the latest novelty in
comedy, 1.-The White Minstrels.'' But
white MINSTREL stock took q sudden
drop when Mr. Merriam, the middleman,
| announced that the two end men had
| missed their train in New York. How
ever, after the close of the first song the
| audience was startled by the appearance
in the rear OF the hall OF red-headed and
rather traveI-ssained Ir'shman, who,
mounting the stage, introduced himself
as 'Mr Dennis McGinnis" (Arthur
Woodbury., and said he had walked the
entire distance from HawleyvilIo. After
more singing and jokes, Oscar Peterson
and his man brought q large express
package on the stage. Upon opening
this, q dazed onsieur
Qnelque Chose r. Raymond6 showed
up, stretched, yawned, and asked to see
President Mckinley, supposing himself
to be in Washington, D. C. Matters
were soon stra ghtened out. "Mr Dennis
McGinnis'' aud I'M. Quelque Chose"
agreed to act as end-men, and one of the
most entertaining and successful per-
f0rmances ever given in the hall ensued.
The patriotic war songs, most OF which
were written and put to music by Arthur
Woodruff and r. Raymond, were we'll
rendered and repeatedly encored. After
the concert very amusing vaudeville
show was given. An exceedingly beau
tiful tableau representing the Goddess
of Liberty'' surrounded by United States
marines, while at her side stood "Brit-
ANNA" and at her feet sat "Cuba," closed
the entertainment. Your reporter great
ly regrets that he cannot give more
detailed and interesting account Of such
an excellent entertainment, but az he is
only q sojourner in this land Of great
talent, fun, love and music, his ability
hasn't been properly trained and he sim
ply isn't sin it," and so he yields the
