KHED1vE's POEM TO VICTORIA.

The Pail Mall Gazette gives his trans
lation Of the Arabic poem presented by
the khedive to the queen when he visited
Windsor last week. The poem was writ
ten by a well-known Egyptian man of
letters, Ismail Assem-: 20 Lady of the
Kingdom, o Thou Offspring of Those
Mighty Suns, who scared along with their
Realms to Spheres under which roll as
humble maidens the Heavenly Planets
bright. Around Thy Sacred Head do the
Angels wreathe their Love garlands in
terwoven with the Love jewels of human
Souls. But are Thou a Goddess, too, that
before Thee have Times flinched and
knelt with an affrightened look. To n
Sway have humbled themselves the
Countries of the Earth. and the mighty
Oceans, with their rolling, foamlng
Plains, and the fearful deserts, with their
rolling, sandy waves, thunderstruck
stood before Thee The London Daily
News gives a somewhat different, per-
haps freer, translation, and relates a
curious circumstance, showing that the
poem is in part a remarkable tour de
force: 1.-THE last hemistich is ~'quantita-
tive In an unexpected sense. Each let
ter has in the Arabic alphabet it's arith-
! metical value, and if all the letters of
/ this hemistich are added together they

year of her majesty's reign

One of the novelties of the coming thea
tire season will be the appearance of the
August family-a French company or
pantomimists and jugglers. Their per-
formance is thus described: THE scene
is the cabinet or private supp er-room Of
a restaurant. The staging is elaborate,
the appointments, from china INC silver
to the wine coolers, correct. A hanl-
some head waiter superintends the set
ting of the table by a dignif1ed ard we'll
trained assistant. Plates, cups, saucers,
knives, forks, ornamental lamps,
and all the table paraphernalia are lung
by one man to the other, each being cor
rectly placed with incredibly rapld1ty.
Then enters the couple who are to dine
a distingue old gallant, wearing the
medal of the Legion of Honor, and upon
his arm a piquant n pretty little bru-
nette. The servants are as well pred ana
discreet. Every course is juggled by the
walters. Rolls are fired like rifle balls
from hand to hand across the room. A
huge tureen revolves over and over a;aln
in the air. while the waiter balances the
laddle upon his nose. Suddenly it is un-
covered upon the table n found to be
full of steaming soup. The lady is at
first vexed, and then amused by the UNI
conventional service. Suddenly a caprice
seizes her and she begins to juggle her
fan, her napkin ring, the knives and
Spoons, Whatever COMES WlllIu IcdCLl.
Her escorts annoyance gradually melts
away. His dignity relaxes n in a. Ian
guild matter-of-fact way, as If 1t was the
most natural thing to do when supping
privately proceeds to the deft manipula-
ton of anything he a lay hands on.
A striking incident is the juggling of four
oranges by each member of the nimble-
fingered quarette. The sixteen oranges
perform the most intricate aerial move
ments and seemed mixed in hopeless con-
fusion. AS the spirit of the frolic in
creases the fun grows wilder and wilder.
The air is full of table utensils, cham
payne bottles, baskets, lamps, chairs,
bric-a-brac, flower pots-everything In
fact, large and small, that the hand can
seize upon; and, as a sensational finish,
two of the men throw plates across the
room at the third John ]. McNulty is
writing a farce for the August family,
the scene of the second act being laid in
"a New York restaurant. A company OF
sixty people are being engaged for their
support; the principals. being Otis, Har-

WAR AT GRAHAM.

Husband

A Wife Turns A Shot Gun Loose at Her
Husband
About ten days ago Frank Critics
wife, who lives at Solomonville
left her husband, took her two
children and went to her mothers
home at Graham, where she has
since lived. Since she left him
Mr.. Critics rented house for his
wife but she refused to occupy it.
After Mrs. Critics left her husband
Frank determined to have the
children.
Yesterday he came to Stafford
and accompanied by Mrs. d. NJ.
Green drove to Graham for the
purpose of getting them. He had
a shot gun in the buggy and when
he arrived at the house where his
wife lives both he and Mrs. Green
got out, leaving the shot gun in
the buggy. Mrs. Critics refused to
give the children up and Frank
grabbed the little boy and started
to run. His wife followed him so
closely that he could not get in
the buggy but continued to run.
She got the gun and turned both
barrels loose but shr says she did
not shoot at him on account of the
baby but shot iu the All.
Mr.. Critics and Mrs. Green
walked to Stafford wsding the
river, and brought the child. A
little later Mrs. Critics came to
town to consult with lawyer,
with the view of recovering
possession of the child.
Later in the afternoon mutual
friends got the two together and
they made up their differences and
went to the home of d. NJ. Green.
1t is said that Green was drinking
and the two men had a row, it is
reported because Mrs. Green went
to Graham. Critics struck Green
which seemed to settle the row un-
til a little later Green went to the
buggy and got Critics shotgun.
Mrs. Green, Mr.. and Mrs. Crites
were out behind the house. Mrs.
Green saw her husband and warned
Critics, but almost too late, for just
as he jumped through the door
Green fired, several shot striking
Critics in the left arm near the
shoulder. Had he been one Sc
cond slower he would have been
killed. Green is now under az
rest.

\ shotgun with Il brave woman
at the business end Of it, put a
sudden terminus to the career of
Ventura Paco an insane half breed
Mexican last night.
At her home on South Third
street near her husbands brick
yard, Mrs Charles Peterson shot
and killed Ventura Paco and the
coroners jury fully exonerated her.
Early in the evening Mr.. Peter
son left home to go down town,
leaving his wife at the house.
About S:l5 O'Clock Mrs. Peterson
heard some dogs barking in the
rear of the house and taking a
shotgun, went out to investigate
In the dim light she saw the figure
of II man, apparently engaged i'll
an effort to get calf out Of the
yard. She walked to the barnyard
fence and calling to the intruder,
asked "What are you doing?"
Nothing" was the answer, and
the man turned suddenly and
sprang toward her. Mrs. Peter
son stepped back, pointed the gun
at him and called to him to halt.
Instead of obeying he increased
his pace, and, seeing he meant
violence, she fired, when the Mexi-
can was at distance of about 20
feet from her. He fell forward and
lay still and Mrs. Peterson walked
to the house and put away the gun.
Going to the home of Peter Cor
don across the road, she told him
Of the tragedy. Mr.. Gordon re-
turned with her and they found
the Mexican lifeless, death I'M

great hole through his left side
and covering space as large as a
mans hand around the place where
the load took effect. Other neigh
bors hurried to the scene and the
sheriffss Office was notified. Justice
Gray empaneled a jury and the
following verdict was rendered:
We, the undersigned coroneTs
jury find that Ventura Paco came
to his death through a gunshot
wound from II shotgun in the hands
of Mrs, Lena Peterson, in the act
of defending her property and
home and justified in fearing bodi-
ly harm. A. 4. Price, foreman, j.

Paco was of half Yaqui Indian
blood, about q years Of age, and
known as a bad man. He served
a term in the insane asylum and
was released about four months
ago. But few days since he was
released from jail and last night he
rode to the scene of his death on
stolen bicycle. The wheel was
found lying against fence near
the Peterson home and was identi-
fed as the property of Richard
from whom it was stolen
several days ago. Early in the
evening Officer Sullivan had seen
Paoo riding about town. He had
no light and Sullivan borrowed a |
wheel and gave chase to Paco.
The latter hurried south to Third |
street and the officer lost track of
him, Paco probably went direct
