advance the position she earned by ex-
cellent work in THE Cuckoo"

One of the London correspondents
who is usually well informed on affairs
in the metropolis says that the Count
ess of Russell seems to have reached
the same conclusion as the theater-
going public-namely, that she is total
ly untitled for the stage, possessing
neither voice o dramatic talent. At
the beginning she met with a moderate
amount of success, being the first peer
ess of the realm to come before the
footlights in a purely professional ca
pacity. But of late she has been so
coldly received that she decided to
emulate THE Runaway Girl" by de-
sorting her post in that musical come
dy. she has settled at Bray for the
summer months, and devotes herself
to the river and other out-of-door
amusements. She has been a familiar
figure on the Thames all the way from
Bray to Henley since long before her
unfortunate marriage to Earl Russell,
and used to be known as 1.-The Little
Duck" that being the name of the
little cherry-colored dingy in which she
was wont to paddle about. Lady Rus
sell apparently lacks the perseverance
of Mrs. Langtry, and inasmuch as she
is heavily in debt, has no means of her
own, nor any profession, it will be in
teresting to observe the methods which
she will henceforth adopt in order to
keep herself from starving.
Charles Wyndham has determined to
call his new theater, which he will very
shortly open in London, by his own
name. He gave his final performance
in the Criterion recently, appearing in
Rosemary" The new house will be
opened with David Garrick," which
will be followed in two weeks by a
revival of The Tyranny of Tears" the
popularity of which is by no means ex-
hausted. Another trial is then 10 be
made of THE Jest" upon a stage much
better fitted for spectacular production.
Ii is evident, therefore, that the long
talked-of "Cyrano de Bergerac" will
not occur until the season is well ad-
vanced. Moreover, Mr.. Wyndham has
abandoned his expressed intention of
giving the piece a preliminary test in
the provinces, and is in doubt, it is
said, al to what kind of a nose he will
wear.

ing effect upon the Hill woman, for when she arose yesterday morning she still cher ished resentment against her rival who kept her peace.
 During the morning Hattie's wrath grew stronger, and when Benjamin McGinnis, an ice boy, drove up shortly before 10 o'clock she could contain herself no further, and sent him to the Sanders woman's house to tell her to come out.
 As the story goes, when Beulah opened her door and stepped into the alley her &C., cuser made an attack upon her. abusing her for everything she could think of, em- phasizing her accusations with blows which fell thick and fast Beulah managed to break away from her assailant, and in a moment two shots rang out and the Hill woman dropped to the ground a corpse.
 Conflict as to How It occurred
 There is some conflict in the statements of the witnesses as to just how the shoot ing occurred, some saying that Beulah ran into her home and procured her revolver, while others say that she merely retreated towards the door and fired when Hattie fol- lowed her with a stick in her hand
 A telephone message was sent to pouce headquarters and Pound Officer Fair, who happened to be present, responded. follow ed by Officers Brown and Manasco.
 After firing the fatal shots the Saunders woman deliberately turned around and walked into her room and began to prepare herself to go with the officers.
 When the officers arrived a large crowd of negroes had gathered around the body of the dead woman. Officer Fair walked into the Saunders woman's room and found her almost ready to go. She made no denial of the shooting but claimed that it was done in self-defense.
 In a few moments she was ready to go, and in order to avoid the crowd she was taken through the yard to Third avenue and then to police headquarters where she was locked up.
 The remains of the dead woman were taken to the Warner-Smiley company's un- dertaking rooms. where a large crowd of negroes gathered and discussed the tragedy for several hours.
 The prisoner refused to talk concerning the affair and positively declined to state whether or not she had the revolver on her person or went back into the house to get it. She said that she acted in self-defense, and made the following brief statement of the difficulty:
 "When l went out the door Hattie had 8 big stick. I dun told her l was going to put her under a peace bond. She got mad then and said she'd give me chance tC put her under a peace bond, and that she fix me so no doctor could do anything for me-"
 There had been no warrant sworn out against the Saunders woman last night and her preliminary trial will probably take place before Judge Feagn in the in- ferior criminal court.

A MAN WAS THE
 CAUSE OF IT ALL Hattie Hill Shot and Killed by
 BeuIah Saunders. HAD A WORDY ENGAGEMENT When the Saunders Woman Procured a Pistol and Fired Twice at Her
 Assailant-Both Took Elf
 feet in Her Breast
HAD A WORDY ENGAGEMENT T

As the result of a quarrel over the affec- tions of Isaac Bryant, dark Lotharian, Hattie Hill, negro, is dead with two bull let holes in her breast and Beulah Sanders, a mulatto, occupies a cell in the city prison with the charge of murder docketed against her.
 The fatal encounter took place yesterday morning in Third alley, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, and its tragic ending threw the neighborhood into state of great excitment.
 The two women resided almost opposite each other in the alley, the Hill woman oc- cupying a house next to the one in which Will Golson shot and killed Chief Deputy Sheriff Robert Worrock.
 According to the story of witnesses there has been bad blood between the women for some time, and it is said that the dead woman had repeatedly threatened to do the murderess harm if she persisted in trying to alienate the affections of Bryant.
 It seems that on Monday night Hattie Hill, accompanied by Bryant, went to North Birmingham where the negroes were holding a celebration, and that the Saun- ders woman was made the chief topic of conversation on the trip. The subject seem- ed to weigh heavily on the Hill woman's mind and on her return home she called the Saunders woman up and accused her of trying to take Bryant away from her. This was emphatically denied, and after a few heated words had passed between them the two women retired to their rooms.

 There we are with the whole thing repre- scented. Bolters populists and prohibition ists got 1S,56S votes, and still Shackleford had 17,S04 plurality. This year the tin horn ticket can not hope to get more votes than Hindman received with the support of the daily papers in Louisville that have re- turned to the democratic party. Jo Park CTS little sde-show has petered out and is no longer a factor in politics. The pro- hibitionists cast smaller vote every year. The conditions are far better than in 1897. when the state went democratic by 1S,0O0. This year -Goebel's majority will not be a vote less than 5000.
