Had Narrow Escape from Being
Killed.
Last evening at 6 o'clock a young man
from the country was driving home
ward on State street near the junction
of Olive when, hearing a trolley car
coming behind him he essayed to cross
the tracks in front of the car. He
turned the wagon too suddenly and his
seat shifted and he was pitched out Of
the wagon and fell on the ground, his
head directly back of his horses heels.
People on the car who saw the pros
trate man in such danger shouted with
excitement and passersby rushed to
aid him. When he struck the ground
he lay on his back with the reins in
his hands and the horse fortunately
stood still. Then by much exertion he
worked his way out from under the
wheels and regaining his seat drove off
and then to the disgust of the spectators
ion the car fell to lashing his faithful
horse with the horsewhip. On the way
up State street he narrowly escaped
tumblng from his seat again and then
he fell to lashing the horse again.

When the curtain is rung up to-mor-
| row night on the first act of 1.-THE
Rogers Brothers in Wall Street" the
new 'vaudeville' written for the Rogers
brothers by John j. McNally there will
be a large and fashionable audience
present in the Hyperion theater to well
come the famous company and stars
which Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger are
| sending to this city The advance sale
| opened yesterday morning, and all day
| the people came from far and near, and
| it is now announced that the advance
| sale is very large, but some good seats
may still be had for both performances,
tomorrow and Friday nights. Messrs.
klaW and Erlanger, who will be present
tomorrow night and personally super
intend the production, have at all times
been noted for the great care which
they exercise in their productions. The
company, which numbers over sixty
people, has among it's numbers the fol-
lowing we'll known players: Max Rog-
ers Gus Rogers, Maude Raymond, Lee
Harrison, Ada Lewis, John G. Sparks
Georgia Caine, Ross Snow, John Parr,
jeanette Bageard, Carolyn Elberts,
Edith st. Clair, Louise Cunning, Peter
Curley Willie Torpey and many others
that are well known. The story of the
piece is as follows Otto Whine, an i'm
pecunious and inquisitive promoter, is
awaiting the arrival of a rich Irish
friend, Terrence Rafferty,, from whom
he expects to get money enough to pur-
chase 1.-THE Little Donkey" gold mine,
owned by Tom and Bill Slogans, who
are not aware of the great value of the
mine, and whose whereabouts are un-
known. Whine has also arranged to
marry his daughter Letta to Rafferty,,
not knowing that his daughter is in
love with certain Leo Swartz, (Gus
Rogers. To complicate matters Whine
has been using Rafferty's name, photo
graph and old love letters in carrying
on Irritation with Georgette Jollier,
who is located in Sioux City. Whine,
under the name of Rafferty,, marries
Georgette over a long distance tele-
phone wire. Georgette has previously
been engaged to Fritz Weiss Max Rog-
ers) and also married to and divorced
from Leo Swartz. OF course, at the
proper time Georgette arrives upon the
scene to interfere with Rafferty's love-
making with Leo. She claims both the
Irishman and the Dutchman as her
husband, as the New York courts will
not recognize Leo's Sioux City divorce,
When Leo Swartz and Fritz Weiss first
arrive upon the scene they explain that
they have been a failure in the show
business and have decided to go back
again peddling with their cart and lit
tie donkey. Whine and Rafferty, over
hear them discussing the little donkey
and jump at the conclusion that they
are Tom and Bill Slogans, owners of |
the Little Donkey gold mine. The poor |
Dutchmen are not permitted to explain, |

A Mock Vesuvlus.

1t Is also highly probable that the exhi.
bition will be endowed with a mock vol
cano or miniature Vesuvius. The project
was rather ridiculed when 1t was first
heard of, but M. Jodice, the planner Of the
enterprise, afflrns that he will DO able to
carry it through at cost Of 924O, 900.
The burning mountain with tho coronal
flames and "real lava" promised by the
protector Is to stand not far from Eiffel q
tower. The sides of the mock Vesuvius
will be planted with shrubs and orna-
mcnted with rocks. There will likewise
be funioular railway at Vesuvius, res
taurants, cafes and peep shows on the way
up, and inside tho volcano itself M. Jodice
proposes to have living pictures, with rep
resentations Of scenes from Dante's hell,
purgatory and paradise.

A Pen Picture Of pamaacua,

Is Partisan. The Jerusalem air presses
heavily with Its melancholy past. Hall
q score Of sects make 1t a rendezvous fol
pillage or for mummery, and its memorials
of imperishable events have to be looked
at through the dust Of persisted dynasties.
1t Is mystic, solemn, arcane.
Damascus Is practical, positive and
even merry. The wall of Israel sounds
along the arid valleys Of Zion, but Da,nas-
Gus sings voluptuous carol by means Of
its ice cool, tabled river. Tho tinkle Of
its bells mingles forever with tho gurgle
OF its waters, and above all you hear the
silvery laughter Of the Syrian girls and
catch the dancing humor of their dark
eyes through their little wells. Jerusalem
has its austere character to sustain. Its
temples are tombs. Its weight of poign-
ant history keeps it grave.
But in Damascus you are under no oh.
legations to the past that the present can.
not mako you forget. Its innumerable
shuttles and armories call you buck to the
bustling e1igencies Of life. The coffee
bazaars defy melancholy. So this stranded
city on the shores Of time-the gold on

the sun and eats figs merrily Just as IL
did when Saul Of Tarsus journeyed that

say it was excessively lavish in adjectivea

When the laughter of the Paderewski

A Runaway Motor Car.

There are many situations in which .
man may be placed and his self compo-
sure put to severe test, but to feel tho
keenest edge Of fate's vindictiveness ono
must have charge of all unmanageable
motor car In busy London thoroughfare.
A gentleman found himself in this pro-
dicament on Saturday in Piccadilly His
motor car containing himself and two
ladies, became unmana9eable opposite
Park lane, and, after running an eccentric
course through tho traffic, finished up by
trying to overturn the Wellington statue
This effort failed.
Now the full ignominy Of the situation
was experienced. Horses were obtained
from neighboring stable and harnessed
to the derelict motor, and tho erring ma
chine was dragged to the seclusion of a
news. Oh, the gibes Of the busmen and
the jcers Of the cabbies The only thing
that saved the melancholy procession from
absolute detection of spirit was tho tri-
umphant curl Of pride that marked the
lips of the salving horses -Westminster

overseer Of the roadbed. The fireman
drives tho express wagon between trips,
keeps the books and distributes ice. A

waste of steam and partly because it
frightened the bluetish ofrshore."

Mombasa, has recently had narrow es-

killed and devoured many coolies employ

Hearing that this notorious lion had been
seen Mt Tsayo, through which place the
railway is being made, Mr.. Whitehead
proceeded there to endeavor to shoot 1t,
and, passing by night through the unfln-
ished cutting for the railway, followed by
his cody sergeant he saw the lion on O
projection above him. He fired, but miss.
ed on account Of the darkness, and the AMI
NAL sprang upon him and tore his clothes
into ribbons, bruising and clawing his
legs and making deep claw marks upon
his back. Fortunately the ground was
uneven and sloping, and in the desperate
struggle the lion rolled over, allowing Mr..
Whitehead to get away and have a second
shot, which was also Intellectual. The
lion then made for the cody sergeant and
carried him of. His half eaten body was
found In the morning at some distance
