have escaped the statisticians who kave
been enumerating the actors receiving their
schooling with Mr.. Augustin DAILY This
prominent man is Sol Smith Russell To
be sure, his engagement with DAILY was
brief but he was cast in quite prom!nent
parts. One of his most terrible imper-
sonations WAS that of an aged female in
Bronson Howard's "Moorcraft This was
away back in the early seventies. Old
William Davage played opposite to Sol.
and the twain made a humorous combina-
tion. While Mr.. Russell in the full splen-

see III TO boast of his feminine impersona-
tious, especially since he is the legitimata
successor to the title OF the dean of the
American stage" it will be interesting TO
all who have seen his mingled iInpersona-

to remember that once when attired in
crinoline he proved a successful though
boisterous woman character artist.

Mr.. HUNT A CANDIDATE
Ward Two Man For President of
the Common Council

Councilman George C. Hunt will be
a candidate for the presidency of the
common council for 1900. With the with
drawal of John E. Lancaster from the
contest, many of his supporters have
urged Mr. Hunt to stand for the place,
and, in view of the pressure brought
to bear it is understood Mr.. Hunt will
stand for the place.
There was talk of Mr. Hunt being a
candidate early in the year, and with
the withdrawal of Mr.. Lancaster, the
undercurIent in favor of Mr.. Hunt
comes to the surface. He ranks equal
with any member of the board from
length of service in the board, and his
supporters claim he will be elected
easily.
Up to last night Frank M. Heath
seemed the favorite, but there was con-
siderable in the way of conference dur
ing the recess and after the meeting
last night, which resulted in the an
nouncement that Mr.. Hunt would be
a candidate.

SUNDAYS RAINFALL
Nearly Half an Inch of Water
HELMS the City Greatly

The rainfall of Sunday was AT of an
inch. While the amount was not as
much as would have been liked by the
officials of the water department, still
every little helps. and the brooks are
running fairly well at present. Work
on the pumping station at Goes pond
is being pushed as rapidly as possible,
as even should there be no use for the
pumps this season, they will probably
have to be used next year.
The work of building and repairing
dams may be taken up early in the
year, and the lack of storage facilities
will result in loss of much of the
spring supply. In fact, officials of the
department think it would be a good
idea to make the arrangement perma-
nent, until sufficient storage capacity
can be secured at least.

man, well-known saloonkeeper, and his
wife Rose, who were married a week ago
were shot and dangerously wounded early
today by Mrs. Leona j. Lay, from whom
WiSchman was divorced five wears ago
The shooting occurred at 34th street and
Cottage Grove avenue, as Wischman and
his wife were on their way to their home.
AS they passed the corner their assailant
stepped from the shadow of building and
fired two shots One of the bullets entered
Wischmans left breast above the heart.
and the other penetrated the right breast
of his wife.
AS her two victims fell the would-be
murde1ess fled, but she was captured later
by the police. At the hospital it was found
that Wischman was fatally injured Homes
for the recovery of his wife are entertained.
Mrs. Lay admitted the shooting and that
she lay in wait two hours. She declares
that she was prompted to the act by jeaI-
ousy. Some time ago Mrs. Lay attacked

attentive to the woman whom he married
He disarmed her after a struggle, but re-
fused to prosecute her.

NORTHUMBERLAND TAX,
consul DOty's Report ms to the OBJ
ject of the Duty,

Consul Jacob L. Doty at Tahiti reports
under date of August Is last that on the
nth OF that month "a decree was promul-
gated at the instance of the president of
the republic of France establishing an ex-
port duty of Is francs (s2.S9) per 100 kilo-
grams (22o.46 pounds upon all mother-of-
pearl shells exported from this colony. This
tax, however, is to be refunded upon the
production of certificate from the Gus
toms authorities in France, showing that
the shells have been entered at a French
port and declared for consumption.
This measure was adopted in the hope
that 1t might stimulate trade between
France and this distant colony. The opin-
ion prevails here, however, that the duty
imposed is too low to force the shipment Of
Tahiti shells to France, and that 1t Will re-
suit only in hardship for divers. should
merchants combine and deduct the amount
of the tax from the price paid for the shells
at the fisheriess' 70
1t is claimed, moreover that France is
not the best market for Tahiti pearl shells;
and that the variety produced here (black
edge has in the past found but limited de-
mand there, and in consequence large shin
ments to France would be unprofitabie
Notwithstanding the export duty, Tahiti
pearl shells will find their way to the Lon
don market which has for many years
been the distributing point for the world s
supply of mother-of pearl shells
This tax will have no considerable bear
ing, If any, upon the trade of the United
States. Large quantities of shells are ship
ped through the United States in transit
to London, and this will probably continue
L am Informed that, Notwithstanding the
fact that Tahiti shells can be purchased (by
arrangement at New York before trans
shipment buyers in the United States rare
ly avail themselves Of the opportunity, but
usually secure their supply from London :"

NEW CASES OF SMALLPOX
Two Patients Removed to the Hospital
This Afternoon.
One a Student and Chum of the Young
Men Lately Placed Under
Treatment.

The unpleasant announcement of two ad-
ditional cases of smallpox in the city was
made by the health department this after
c. Cook, residing at 80 18th street. and a
Mrs. Winslow, living at 1o2 l. street The
patients have been removed TO the small
pox hospital. and the infected houses have
been placed in quarantine, together with
the other occupants of the premises.
Mr.. Cook is a young white man. a stu
dent at the Bliss Electrical School, and is
said to have been a chum of Grant and
Stevens, the young men who were discov-
cred at sil H street suffering from the dis
ease two weeks ago. He has been under
observation by the health department au-
thorities since It became known that he
was an intimate friend OF Grant and Ste
Vens and becoming unwell last night, he
was found early this morning to be af-
nicted with the disease, whereupon he was
at once removed to the hospital.
II Is the belief of the health department
ofncials, of course, that he contracted the
disease by coming in contact with Grant
and Stevens. who are thought to have con-
tracted in Alexandria, where they at
tended the seSQui-centennial ceremonies
last month.
Little has yet been learned of Mrs Wins
low, who is white woman, and the health
officer has not been able to definitely de-
termine just how or where she contracted
the disease. In the house from which she
was taken this afternoon five other persons
have been living, while seventeen are said
to occupy the house from which young
Cook was taken. Cook was taken sick last
evening, although he admitted having had
a chill last Saturday. He is said to have
lived at al H street, up to within a few
days OF the discovery of the disease there.

carry Laurel by over 200. The republicans
did not get out their vote In the early part
of the day as was anticipated, though they
may do better later. Reports from the

which is attributed to the disafection in

MIR. HOBART GROWING WEAKER.
He DID Not Get Much Rest Last
Night.


Night.
PATTERSON, N. j., November 7.-Vice
President Hobart is growing weaker. DR..
Newton did not give out any official bulle-
tin this morning, but, when asked regard
ing the condition of his patient about 8
o'clock, said:
The Vice Presidents night was not a
restful one. He did not get as much sleep
as was hoped His restlessness and lack
Of sleep during the critical hours Of the
night offset the good effect of the day yes
terday, which was the best in a week"
The doctor added that the Vice Presi-
dents heart was growing weaker gradu-
ally. DR.. Newton said the Vice President
has taken very little nourishment, but his
mind was in fairly good condition. 1t
was impossible to say how long Mr.. Ho-
bart might last.
In the opinion of Hobart futile, brother
in-law of the Vice President, Mr.. Hobart
had better night than for some time.
This morning he took more nourishment
than he has at any one time for the past
three weeks. Mr.. Hobart sat up in bed
cary in the forenoon and sent for his bar
Der. Mr.. futile thought the Vice President
was feeling better today than for some
time.

affairs, and without the least hesitancy
ran into the middle of the avenue and
grasped the bride of the nearest horse and
