EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY.
Unexpected Part Played by Darrell
In q Drama.

Many of the old time actors will re-
member +. G. White, who, with his wife,
Emma Leland, used to star in the prov
inces when they were not able to get
what they wanted in the cities. Well,
the old gentleman was versatile genius,
and there was nothing about the house
except soubrette parts that he could take
Among other things he knew how to
put up curtain, and that was more
than good many stage managers in the
country towns knew.
We Will call the place Bridgeport, for
that was not the name OF the town. The
Emma Leland company was there for
week. and 1t looked like prosperous
run. But the first night, and right be-
tween the first and second acts OF Hid
den Hand" something went wrong with
the curtain, which stuck fast three feet
from the floor. Moreover, 1t would not
come down again, and all the company
was in trouble, while the people out in
front were getting more than the worth
of their money without seeing the show
Mr.. White was in his neither garments,
having changed from we'll dressed New
York villain to the rough and ready
countryman from old Virginia, who has
come to the great city on quest for his
granddaughter and adventures. But he
climbed up on stool out there behind
the curtain and did all that any honest
and plain speaking man could have done
in the way of making the machinery
work.
And the whole curtain came tumbling
down, roller and all, leaving the most
versatile man stranded high and dry on
the top of the stool. The scene was the
Bowery, and part OF the stage setting
was an empty barrel. The old gentle
man dropped gracefully into that barrel
and rolled as gracefully off the stage.
And then the patient and excellent au-
dience waited, laughing occasionally, but
not saucily, till the carpenters and sail
ors in the house had repaired the damage
to the scene.-Chicago Post.

A sixteenth c-ntur, Kn.,pp.

Inc late father Anelpp mad predeces-
sor in his cold water cure over three CEN
turtles ago in the person of Father
George Bernard Penot, Dominican
friar of Toulouse, born near Nice about
1921. In his book "De .Aquae Naturalis,
VIRTUE" published In 1547, Frinr Penot
wrote: In the morning, when the dew of
heaven gives new freshness to the earth,
thou shalt walk for two hours barefooted
and bare legged upon the grass, for the
dew is the daughter OF God. 1t brings
with it a certain mysterious virtue,
which diffnseth itself in various forces
throughout the microcosm and driveth
away malign influences. Fear not that
the chill shall do thee evil, for NIL cold is
the source of all heat, and water is the
vehicle OF health and the paragon Of
life" Surely this is Kneippism in nut
shell. yet Friar Penot died unknown and
unappreciated.--Tabl

Granted q Thirty-flve Y ear Franchise
To a Motor Company.
Council Bluffs, Aug. 1.-THE amend
atory ordinance passed by the city
council September 20, 1897, and APP
proved by Mayor Carson on the night of
September 80, granting the Omaha s.
Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge
Company fifty-year franchise, has
been declared illegal by Judge Thornell,
of the district court.
This decision handed down by Judge
Thornell in the case Of the state ex rel
&C. G. Bump, against the Motor Com
pany, was read here yesterday.
In the fall Of 1897 the Omaha & Coun-
Gil Bluffs Railway and Bridge Company
presented an amended ordinance to the
city council by which Its franchise was
extended for further period of thirty
five years, the old franchise under
which 1t was operating having at that
time fifteen years yet to run.
Many Of the citizens of Council Bluffs
were opposed to the granting Of fifty
year franchise and number of public
meetings We're held and the city fathers
nance. On September 20 Of that year
The new code of 1897. which went into
effect October /, required that no fran
chise should be given or extended with
out being submitted to the vote of the
people. This was the chief ground on
which the council was asked not to
pass the measure, but to leave 1t to the
popular vote.
Mayor Carson hesitated about attach
/ ing his signature to the ordinance, but
| finally did so on the night of Septem-
Der 80, about three hours before the
code of 1897 went into effect.
The ordinance was rushed to the Of
I Gice of the Nonpareil and a special issue
containing the publication of the meas
ure was gotten out shortly before mid
night of that day. A few copies Of the
issue We're sold on the streets.
Judge Thornell, III handing down his
decision, holds that the publication OF
4 this special issue of the local paper was
not a valid one, and in addition holds
that the section In the ordinance pro.

London, Aug. 16.-The Daily Mail says
that Gen. Lord Garnet Wolseley, the
commander in chief, has sanctioned 100
volunteers of the London Scottish Rifles
going to South Africa in the event of
war.
The Daily Chronicle, which regards
Gen. Buffers virtual dismissal as IAN
indication that the country is being
hurried into war" says: His offense
was that he spoke rough words of truth
about that precious organization. the
South African League. We are con-
WINGED that he acted for the honor and
interests of the empire.
The Johannesburg correspondent of
the Daily Mail, who confirms the report
that warrants have been prepared for
the arrest of LAT members of the reform
party in the Transvaal. of which TWEEN
tytwo warrants are out, says the date
for executing the warrants is uncertain
and that the whole thing is regarded as
a bluff.

Fighting Men as Statesmen.

The highest number of men enrolled
in our army during the revolutionary
war was S9,761. In the war of 1Sl2
we raised a regular force of 3,1S6, and
a militia force of 471.622. In the
Mexican war the total force raised, of
regulars and volunteers, amounted to
101, ,2S2; and during the war of 1861 %
the volunteers furnished were 1888, l32'
colored troops 1S6,017, and the regulars
80. .273, making the entire number oil
men enrolled in the military service OF
the United States, during periods OF
war, about 100000.
OF these. ten afterward became Pres
idents of the United States, namely:
Washington, Jackson, William Henry
Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, Benjamin Harrison and Nc
Kinley. Other distinguished military
men were nominated by one or another
of the great parties, but were not sue
cessful in the election. Among these
were Jackson. who was defeated in
1924, but was elected in 1873 and 49,
Harrison, who was defeated in 1886,
but was elected in 1910; Cass. who was
defeated by Taylor in 1913; Scott, who
was defeated by Pierce in 1So2; Fire
mont. who had been Lieutenant Col
onel. defeated by Buchanan in 1856
J. C. Breckenridge, defeated by Lin
coin in 1860; Mcclellan, defeated by
Lincoln in 1864; Hancock, defeated by
Garfield in $780, and Harrison, defeated
by Cleveland in 1892.
Other officers who had served in the
army were candidates, namely: Arm
strong, Lincoln, Burr, John Floyd, b
Gratz Brown, Green Clay Smith. Jane:
B. Weaver and Benjamin Butler. Most
of the successful candidates owed their
elevation to their military record. and
the same may be said, to a great ex-
tent. with regard to the prominence at
tanned by others. Probably twenty OF
the Generals of our army earned what
might be called worldwide distinction
and some two hundred, enviable ma
.tional distinction.
There have been many other great
rewards outside of politics. for the sys
tenn and the discipline of the soldier
have been qualities which have been o.
the highest usefulness when applied t.
great business undertakings. Many
officers have achieved wealth and dis
tinction at the head of engineering en-
terprises or in the management of com
panies and syndicates. While these
were not SO great in public honor, pos
sib1y, as the political successes, the sol
dier's qualities have meant much in Z
material sense.-Philadelph Saturday
