Inconsistency, it would be a question
Of only few weeks when women would

recently taken the position that suicide
is justitiable in the case of the person
afflicted with an incurable disease, and

feminine inconsistency is an incurable
disease. But for all that, l cannot sup

TOWN TALES.

Frank Daniels abe famous. comedian,
will be seen in Worcester this season.
He visited Afghanistan this summer in
search Of local color for his new opera,
THE Ameer," and was rushed out of
the country on five minutes notice on
suspicion of being a spy. Mr.. Daniels
protests against the assertions made
by an English correspondent at the
ameers capital, that he conducted him
self saucily and imprudently while in
Afghanlstan. He declares that he was
as meek and mild as could be expected
of any cOmedian-an American one at
that-who had Travelled fifty days in
search OF the picturesque, and when he
had found it ne was not allowed to
make full use Of it.
Mr.. Daniels was accompanied by an
artist who went with him for the pur-
pose of sketching costumes for his
opera, THE Amer" According to Mr..
Daniels, he politely asked the biggest
official in the realm for leave to sketch
the people. Such picturesque crowd,
said he, you never saw. Why, it was
as good as Chicago during the worlds
fair. The ameer authorities said he
must apply to the ecclesiastical; the ec-
clesiastical said he must apply to the
commissary of police, and the commits
sary Of police referred him to the mil
itary. Mr.. Daniels patience was ex-
hausted, and he determined to do with
out official permission of any kind, and
so set his artist to work The mans
sketching was uninterrupted for one
week. Mr.. Daniels also promenaded the
thoroJghfares with his kodak, and
whenever he saw some good local color,
seized it with his little Photographic
apparatus.
One day when he was strolling
around with his kodak he was placed
under arrest and his passport taken
from him did the foreign gentleman
have some negatives? Yes? Than he
must develop them in order that the
ameer might see If they were as inno-
cent as he had said" Mr. Daniels re-
piled that he could not develop them
that the whole extent Of his knowledge
of photography consisted in pressing
the button. He must wait until he got
back to New York for some profession
al photographer to develop them and
do the rest After an hour and a half
in prison cell, he was escorted to the
frontier. One train left at a. m, an
other at 6 a. m. Which would he
choose? Mr.. Daniels chose to loATe so
inhospitable a county by the earlier op-
portunity. The Afghans took him TO the
station, put him on board the train,
and ne never stopped going until New
York was reached.
