DUBLIN STUDENTS RIOTOUs.
Destroy the Green Flag, which Was
waving Over Mansion House.

DUBLIN, Dec 1S.--At Trinity college this
afternoon the honorary deECtA-Of doctor of
laws was conferred on Joseph Chamberlain,
British secretary Of state for the colonies
There was brilliant assemblage at tho
ceremony. The under graduates gathered
songs.
They sailed to the college green, cheer
ing vociferously and carrying the royal
standard and the Union Jack
The students made a demonstration at
the Mansion house where they tore the
green corporation flag to shreds and caus-
ed other damage the police being forced to
Intervene The students returned to the
college in an ugly mood. The students
made a desperate effort to recapture the
Union Jack, but the police were too strong
for them. In the meantime hostile
crowd had assembled on the college green
and more stringent measures were taken to
keep the students. within the, gates.
The students who attacked the mansion
house numbered about $50. They beat the
caretaker who attempted to protect the
corporation flag.
At the close of the ceremony Mr.. Cham
berlain, in response TO the cries of the stu
dents, said they had met under very dis
appointing circumstances. If the arrange
ments had been recent he added, he would
not have chosen the present occasion to
receive the honor from the university
Their minds, Mr.. Chamberlain continued,
were soIemnized by the serious news from
South Africa but England had always been
accusto toned to hold her own In adversely.
He was old enough to remember the Crimea
and the early period of the Indian mutlny
when England met with greater disasters
than she had just experienced, but event.
ually the nation sprang to its feet and re-
covered its equanimity and no doubt It
would do so again.

sMoTHERED UNDER FREIGHT.

Resident of Walla WalIa.

Late Dawson arrivals report that j. B.
Clark, teamster. formerly resident OF
Walla Walla, in the employ Of Orr a SUI
key. Klondike freighters. was instantly
killed on the government road, short dis
lance from No. 81 below on Bonanza creek,
the morning of November 8.
He left the firms barn at q. m. driv.
ing a four-mule team attached to sled
containing a load of about two tons of
freight destined for Gold hill. As he ap-
preached the point at which the accident
occurred he noticed that the road was
covered with ice, and he started up his
team in brisk trot, with the purpose of
getting over this dangerous stretch of road
as rapidly as possible. just as he had
passed over the ice his sled gave a sudden
iurch and upset, precipitating Clark uii-
der the load and crushing the life out OF
him.
The driver of a team Immediately fol-
lowing hts at once sprang to his assist
ance. and with almost superhuman effort
succeeded in slightly raising the loaded
sled from the form of the unfortunate
man, but only to witness his dying gasps.
An unofficial examinations of the remains
revealed that there were no bodily in
juries, save slight bruises, and that death
was due to suffocation.
Deceased was q years OF age and un-
married. He leaves a brother and sis

SALARIES OF OUR PLAYERS.
The Pay of Actors Varies From $12
to ms Much as $500 Per Week.


Franklin Fyles, writing Of "The Theater
and It's People," in the December Ladies'
Home Journal. touches interestingly upon
the earnings of actors. and corrects the
oft-repeated reports of the enormous earn
ings of players. Salaries vary with cir
cumstances." he Gays. "The manager may
find at s25 a week player whose moderate
talent exactly fits a part of considerable
Importance, He may have to pay $50 IL
the role Is singular and fit candidates
scarce. If he wants celebrity In addition
to ability he may be willing to make the
salary $500 q week. In that case he takes
into account the public value of the name
and makes a feature of 1t m his adver
tisements. Not more than ten actors in
America. aside from the stars, receive as
much as $3.50 week. and not more than
five actresses are paid this amount. In
fact. $3.50 a week is exceptional, and 800
will engage an excellent hero or heroine,
a fine comedian or a delineator of eccen-
tric character. The wages run down to
SIS for soubrette. ,ngenue or old man, to
$50 for an old woman. juvenile man or ju-
venile woman, and so along to utility or
chorus men or women at s12 to SIS week.
Those are the wages Of thoroughly COM
petent actors in companies of good peo-
pie"
