MADE FORTUNE AS CLAQUEUR.
Gertener, Whose Business Was to
Start Spurious Applause Leaves
$4,000
From the Chicago TRIBUNE.

From the Chicago Tribune
Gertner, the great "claquer' of Vienna
says a foreign paper, has just died of
broken heart. He saved up over $4,000
as the proceeds of his unique calling. He
was for years director of the claque at
the most popular theater of Vienna. the
Deutsches Volkes Theater. Now, a clauue
is the prearranged applause which greets
the star performers in a company
whether their performance is good or bad
and is started by paid shouters Cor caq-
ueurs) judiciously disposed among the au-
dence. 1t is said that Gertner elevated
his humble occupation to an art, and was
in great demand by actors who wanted
discreet assistance from the auditorium.
Gertner was the soul of discretion.
He came TO the theater night after night
in different characters and costumes, and
was never recognized as a claqueur by
those around him. Sometimes he occupied
a box, sometimes a seat in the stalls some
times he posted himself in the gallery,
but always where he could indicate to his
subordinates, by a code of signals previ-
ously arranged, how and when TO applaud
without attracting undue attention.
Gertner would be seen sitting in a box,
for which he himself paid, in an elegant
dress suit, with white tie and gloves, and
looking Nso distingue that no one would
have dreamed that he was claqueur. When
he raised his handkerchief to his nose,
round of applause followed; when he re-
placed the handkerchief in his pocket the
clapping gradually subsidized.
Gertner came to grief in a curious way.
He was sitting in the stalls at an impor-
tant first night, and fell asleep during the
play. A particularly tragic passage had
Ioo wi
awoke with start and commenced 10 ap-
plaud vigorously.
The house roared with laughter and the
piece was ruined. Gertner was dismissed
in disgrace, and has died of a broken
heart.

SAVANNAH POLITICS.

NeiGhbOring City.
From the Charleston News and Courier.
Municipal politics in Savannah has near
ly reached the boiling point. There will
be two candidates for Mayor and two al
dermanic tickets in the field. The May
orally candidates are j. j. McDonough
and Herman Myers both of whom, we
believe, have filed The office, and each will
do his best, doubtless, to prove that he
should be elected. Col. j. II. Estill, the
editor and owner of the Morning News,
has accepted the nomination for alderman
on the Liberal ticket, but not without Sc
rious reflection, and then only as mat
ter of duty and service TO the community
We hope that he will be elected-he ought
to be-aud we should be glad TO vote for
him for alderman or Mayor or any other
office, where good character, fine bust
ness ability and jealous regard for the
public welfare should be the tests APP
nlied to the candidates. No one in Sa-
vannah has done more for that place than
coli Estill, and he should be elected with
ont objection, and will be il the voters
have any regard for duty well performed
His election would be particularly graft
fviug to us because he halls from Charles

THROAT CUT TO SAVE LIFE.
BY "A Ready Surgeon in the Recep-
tiOn Room at Bellevue Hospital.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
Charles Weinhold owes his fair chance
of recovery from rare and dangerous
disease to the fact that DR.. Burt l.. VIII
son happened to be in the reception room
of Bellevue Hospital when he was driven
up to the entrance in an ambulance.
Weinhold was speechless and half suf-
located. There was an enormous growth
on the right side of his face. But DR..
Wilson saw more than this. He knew
that the stress of the growth had caused
the mans windpipe TO collapse near the
pharynx-a result known as Ludwig's an

other cases recorded in this country, both

''He would not live to reach H." said
Dr. Wilson. I'VE must operate here and

The sufferer was of fine physique. six
feet tall and weighing 200 pounds With
a gasp and q nod he indicated his realiza-
ton of the necessities of his case. With
out waiting for an anaesthetic DR.. Will
son plunged large lance into Weinbolds
throat at a point two inches TO the left
of his chin and drew 1t down sharply to
the collar bone. Drs. Wynkoop and Mutt
assisted. The swelling at once subsidized,
the pressure on the windpipe relaxed, and
the man was able to breathe.
The operation lasted nearly twenty min
utes. The patient bore it with great for
titude. He was taken to ward and put
TO bed, whore he win have to remain for
several weeks. DR.. Wilson said he would
surely recover.

have been Increased 95 per cent to 400. 900
tons; the shaft has been sunk 100 feet to
the tenth level. At the East Colusa shaft
ore reserves have been nearly quadrupled
and are now nearly 1872, 900 tons. We have
started on the Moose mine again and
have extracted about 1900 tons, putting
the same amount in sight. The ore re-
serves here are 5000 tons. The lease and
bond on h Anderson mine have been
thrown up. nothing having been found to
justify further expenditures.
THE total amount Of openings aggre-
gate 80. 008 feet, or 81 miles. The amount
of ore in sight on January 1, 1899, was
2,161 ,597 tons. The yield of these reserves
will approximate last years yield per ton.
cradle bodies of low grade ores at the
East Colusa mines, too low grade to be
formerly worked at a profit, have been
verified. This also has been the case to
some extent at the West Colusa.
Construction has been confined prin-
cipally to the finishing of the new work
on the boiler plant n the new
power house between the West Colusa
and the Leonard shafts. The cost of eX-
traction per ton has been slightly higher
han last year. This can be explained
by the larger expense of the development
work which has increased the ore reserves
approximately $50, 900 tons. This develop
ment work has all been charged to OPP
Grating expenses. g j.
"At Butte we have continued TO lease
and operate the Butte n Boston smell
ter. The latter part of the year the con-
contractor ran largely on Butte M Bos-
ton ores, the Boston and Montana COM
pany buying the concentrates and smelt-
ing them with their ores. The operations
and costs at this smelter have been very
satisfactory throughout the year.
1.-The two new blast furnaces at Great
Falls are now completed and one OF them
has been running successfully for a
month. The troubles with the new re-
| verberatory have been overcome so tha'
during the year we can surely look to a
lowering of costs in both of these depart
ments. The present capacity OF the con
centrator is from 1000 to 1000 tons dally'
1.-The electrolytic plant has peer
brought up to a capacity of 4,Oco,ooC
pounds monthly and is operating more
cheaply than ever.
"While the costs have not been lowered
in all departments yet we can say ina
| we have treated each ton of ore more
cheaply than ever. The fact that we are
today mining portions of ore podles,
! which were formerly allowed to stay IN
the mines, it not being then prohtapie TO
mine them, and the ability to successluil
treat lower grade ores. ensures the ne
of the mines for a much longer perloo'

minor Matters

The city council met in adjourned ses-
sion last night. Mayor Harrington pre-
sided. Aldermen Bryant, Medin, Seib-
enaler, Ljubibratich and knowlton were
absent. The report of the fire and water
committee, with reference to the new fire
truck. was taken up, the council going
into committee of the whole to consider
it. Chief of the Fire Department Flan-
merry was called and pointed out the de-
fects in the apparatus.
Agent Rollins, representing the Fire
E~Xtinguisher company, was then allowed
the privilege of the floor. He said he
knew little of the merits of the machine,
but he thought the stipulations of the
company.
some of the aldermen were in V of
rejecting the truck. and after an ami
mated discussion the matter was re-
ferred to the city attorney, who stated
that if the truck was in accordance with
the specifications the city would have to
accept it.. The attorney was instructed
to furnish the council with a written
opinion and the committee arose.
The bills of the registry agents, which
were presented at the last meeting of the
council. We're then taken up. The bills
were for 1920 each. Several of the alder
men were inclined to consider this an ex-
orbitant charge. Mr.. Tarbett explained
that the registration was nearly twice as
heavy as it was in former years, and ne
cessitated much more work. Pascoe
moved that the agents be allowed $3.50
each. Macarthur stated that he did not
consider this fair compensation, as some
of the agents had to employ extra help
and pay for it out of their own pockets.
Melcher moved that they be allowed
double time for 81 days, at the rate of
$3.50 per day, the aggregate being 1915,
and this was agreed upon.
The committee appointed to canvass
the returns of the late city election re-
ported the results as follows:
