In the meantime there was a scene
at the Grand opera house. Although
it was not night favorable to a theat-
rical performance. the theater was
crowded when the hour for raising
the curtain arrived. Manager Hays
had received word from the railroad
men that the train with the "Hogan's
Alley company would arrive before 8
o'clock, and with that assurance he
allowed the doors to be opened and
tickets to be sold. When Mr.. Hays re-
ceived telegram saying the company
could not get to ST. Paul. before 10
o'clock he stepped upon the stage and
announced that the company was
snow-bound and there could be 70
performance.-lHe said that all who
wished their money refunded could ex-
change their checks for cash at the
box office. or they could have their
tickets exchanged for any performance
during the week.
The audience applauded and then
turned in a rush to get out. In a mo-
ment the lobby became choked so that
people were unable to move in any di-
rection.
The gallery gods made the most
trouble. They tried to rush one of the
attendants who was distributing pass
checks and Mr.. Hays had to go to his
rescue.
Mr.. Hays said that only once before
in the history of his management had
a similar thing happened. The HUI
mainly" company was snowbound on
the Northern Pacific two years ago.

Prevent Spread of the Disease.

While the keepers back was turned
for few minutes, T. H. Smith.
smallpox patient at the quarantine
hospital, made a desperate attempt on
Friday night to commit suicide by
cutting his throat with q jagged piece
of window glass.
The man was in a raving delirium at
the time, and suffered from the hallu-
clnation that some one was trying to
kill him. AS Keeper Johnson left him
for moment to attend to other duties.
the man quickly jumped from a cot
and ran quickly to a nearby window
and smashed pane of glass with his
fist. The noise attracted the keeper,
who ran for the man at once, but the
deliriOuS patient seized a piece Of the
broken glass before the keeper could
reach him and drew it viciously across
his throat
He, had not time to inflict a serious
injury. and. the keeper jumped on his
back at once and called for help. The
patient. Smith, is a powerful colored
man, and in his 5delirium was more
than a match for Keeper Johnson, but
the timely arrival of Nurse Dickson
prevented his escaping. He was taken
back to his cot and secured until his
delirium abated with a few straps
hastily taken from a harness in a shed
nearby.
DR.. Leavitt stated last night that
Smith is still delirious and that he
was very seriously i'll, though his ulti-
mate recovery is hoped for. Extraor
binary precautions are being taken to
prevent the spread Of the disease. The
visiting doctors never enter the ward
without first DOMINIC a complete rub

ed with an antiseptic solution Of BIZ

tor taking these precautions is no more
liable to infection, or to carrying the
disease. than any physician taking the
usual precautions who treats diph-
liberia or any other like disease.
With the exception of the patient
Smith, all those confined in the pest
house are doing well.
