He was born in Syracuse, n. Y,
thirty-four years ago, obtaining
his first show experience with
Shelby, Pullman & Hamilton's
circus as a singing clown. Feel
ing that the sawdust arena was
not especially to his liking, al
though his salary was repeatedly
increased, he joined Frederick
Brighton's dramatic company
playing, juvenile parts. After
that he was one of the leading
features with Baldwin's Baby
Opera company singing such roles
as Sir Joseph Porter. In 1879 he
became member of Gardner's
minstrels. For time after that
he left the stage entirely and at
tended Queens College, Toronto.
His next engagement was with
Col. Thompson's Boston Lyric
Opera company playing the role
"Nockey" in the opera Said Pasha.
Retiring from that organization
he joined the California Opera
company playing comedy roles
with marked success.
While in Cleveland he met Mrs.
Kimball, the mother of Corinne,
who at once made him fiatter-
ing offer to play the comedy role
in the extravaganza Carmen up,

he became a member of j. M.
HilPs company in "Ship Alloy"
appearing for fourteen weeks at
the Standard Theatre, New York.

has been one of the principals
comedians of the big Boston Ly-
rics and the food of his success
continues unabated.

WRECKED OFF THE

giving the facts of the wreck. He has
doubts of the survival of the three
missing boats as the weather was very
severe.
The names of the missing men cannot
be ascertained here. MorriselI and his
companions suffered great hardshins
from the colo. in the open boat and were
nearly exhausted when they fnade a
landing. Agent Carrollan expresses the
hope. that the missing boats made land
as the ship was near shore when aban,
doned and that the men had not re-
ported, owing to the interruption of the

SOME INTERESTING WOMEN.

Alpine enthusiasts have been as
tonished by the feats of an old lady
from Strassburg who, on the verge of
her seventy-sixth year, assembled the
Hohenstollern, 24S4 metres above the
sea level, one Sunday recently. The
following day the same old lady was
so fresh and vigorous after her diff
ficult climb that she volunteered to ac-
company the same two guides to the
summit of the Hohmatt, which is 2,495
metres above the sea.
The report of the prizes gained by
Princess Victoria of Wales in book
binding has caused an inquiry to be
made as to the ability of French ladies'
in various handicrafts. The Duchess
of Charities paints fans very artisti-
cally. Nine. de Cumien practices the
art of miniatures. Several promi-
nent ladies are expert lace workers.
Nine. de Riencourt is a noted bronze
worker; the Princess Bibesco is a
clever engraver. Prominent among
photographers is the Coutness of
Paris, and several are well known as
brilliant cooks and pastry confection-
ers. Miss Sybil Auchert, of the
American colony in Paris, holds the
record, however. She is a most ac-
complished bootmaker.
One of the most remarkable and ac-
complished women in England is Mrs
Finn, daughter of the Rev. DR.. Nc
Caul the greatest Hebrew scholar of
his time. AS wife of the late Mr.
Finn, English political Consul for
sixteen years at Jerusalem, she has
had varied and interesting life. Mrs.
Finn can speak not only in English,
French. German, Spanish and Italian,
but also in Persian, Greek, Hebrew
and Arabic. She has written two or
three books, besides painting several
charming pictures in water-colors and
lecturing all over England, but the
work of her life is the successful soap
factory which she herself established
and has carried on for many years at
Jerusalem, to give employment to the
destitute Jews of that city. So much
appreciated is this soap that it has
been introduced into some of the Eng
fish royal households.
In the event of the death of the
Amir of Afghanistan he will probably
be succeeded by Prince Habibullah.
his eldest son by wife not of royal
blood. But the queen is bitterly OPP
posed to this arrangement, and will no
doubt make a fierce stand for the
rights of her infant son, Prince Ma
homed Omar. This lady is striking
figure in Afghan politics. Some
years ago during the absence of the
Amir she put down revolt in Ka-
bul in heroic style. Downing male
garments, she led her troops in per-
son, heading victorious charge. u
is quite on the cards. indeed, that we
may yet see queen on the Afghan
throne
