MRS. LANGTRY's TROUBLES.

Mrs. Langtry seems to be having her
share of trouble in her Deregrinations IN
America this season. says an eastern pa
per. Several cities have risen in their in
dignant wrath and denied her the privl-
lege of showing her handsome stage
gowns and mediocre play. In others she
has been the target of unkind remarks.
But the climax was reached in st. Louis
recently during her engagement in that
city. The chief of police claimed to have
heard that an attempt was about to be
made by highwaymen to steal the 1alr
Lily's Jewels while she was in that city.
The mead of the department of protection
was much wrought up over the report and
resolved to remove II possible of a

assembly rooms at Bath. Nash put down
this practice (Which 1 do not defend),

iron, gold, silver, copper lead, granite,

and others have organized for the pur-
pose of prospecting for gold in the hills.
These small outfits are usually gone from
one to two months, n ordinarily report
back with information concerning the ex-
istence of gold in placer deposits and in
veins or lodges. Very often some mug
gets are brought in by the men, but as
yet all work is done on such a small scale
and attended with SO many hardships
that there is no money in it. One party
which went out from Iloilo, on the Isle
of Panay, crossed over the mountains to
the opposite side of the island, prospect
ing as they went, and located indications
of the presence of valuable metals in
places where white men never trod be-
fore. The party was obliged to go afoot
nearly the entire distance, leaving their
horses behind at Passi, for the trails
could not be traversed by any four-footed
animal.
The grasshopper eaters We're met with
in the mountains, and quantities of the
grasshoppers were seen distributed over
mats on the sunny side of hills, in the
process of drying out. When the grass
hoppers are thoroughly dry they are
worked into various forms of dishes, with
sweets and cocoanut meat, making what
is to the natives a most excellent dish.
But these natives seemed to be otherwise
intelligent and particular as to aheir
methods of eating and cleanliness, and in
time could, no doubt, be trained to be
good workers in the rich metal deposits
in their country. Most of the natives
realize the value of the minerals on their

THE RULES OF INDEMNITY.

belligerent state exists. But this abstract

permits that on land all property either
of a belligerent or of a neutral may be
destroyed in an invaded state if this be
deemed necessary for the eXigencies OF
defense. II the invading state is the VIC

of peace, that it's citizens who have thus
been damnifed shall be indemnified. I'm

treaty of peace, that can claim no indem-
nifty. AS regards neutrals, they have an
absolute right to indemnity, which mas

The fact that the Futurity winner. The
Butterflies, gave birth to a filly last Fri
day who is by His Hignness. also a Flu
turity winner, n one of the handsonest
horses in the world, caused Mr.. Gideon
to smile with satisfaction. while his rae
ing partner, John DAILY, who would have
preferred a colt, refused to accept an offer
of s., 900 for the offspring of the king
and queen of the tWo-year-old division
in their respective years. This royalty
bred princess Of the equine family n
a full brother to Jean Beraud to keep her
roaming in the paddock at

to view these embryo racing champions.
Searchlight (2.03A) will be in the stable
of KNAPP Mccarthy again the coming
season. An arrangement was recently
entered into whereby a partnership was
formed between the elder Mr.. Bronson.
Ed. Mills and Mccarthy to purchase the
horse of j.. II. Bronson, each taking Il
hire interest, the horse to be placed
in McCarthy's stable for training and
racing.
Searchlight was purchased by j. H.
Bronson last summer for SIS, 600, after
he had shown himself to be the most
phenomenal PAGER of his age. AS a
f~our-year-old he took a mark of 2.04h,
his only defeat of the entire season being
at Rigby Park against Roam Wilkes,
Last year he was quite successful, re-
firing with a mark of 2.03A. He is con-
sidered to have a fair chance of pacing
a mile better than 200 by good judges
of speed.

Professor Bill Clark. who was a fight
err way back in the London prize ring
rule days, before the present generation
of fighters We're born. has some ideas
of his own as to why McGovern is prov
ing such a terror to the other fighters in
his class. Says the professor: Il hin
that Terry'S success may, in a large
measure, be attributed to his going back
in some of his ways to the style used by
the old bare-knuclle fighters. In the
first place, McGovern goes in after his
man like they used to, and never gives
his man a chance to slow up and is will
ing, incidentally, to take a few blows
himself in order to reach him. Another
thing that l notice is that McGovern
does not waste time by swinging, and
that he depends pretty much on a
straight jab to do the business. Before
a boxing glove was invented the fight
ers understood better the alt OF a
straight jab h they do now, and, be-
| sides. the risk of breaking ones hand on
the other mans head, a swing or left
hook at the sid of the head was con-
sidered a very ineffective blow. A blow
delivered anywhere on a line drawn
down the middle of the face and body
is always a bad one and liable to do
damage. Such a blow will jar a man
clean to his heels if delivered with any
thing near full force, and it's value was
fully appreciated when I was in my
prime as a fighter. McGovern appar
emily appreciates this fact also, as his
style of fighting would Indicate"

ROMANCE OF FAMOUS PHYSICIAN.
DR.. w. ]. Galbraith of Omaha. Sails
on Seas with His Assistant

How a pair of melting brown eyes
looking up from the keyboard of a
typewriter revolutionized the entire
career of one Of the most famous
physicians of the west is likely to be
theme of gossip in Omaha society for
many a day.
Meanwhile DR.. William J. Gal
braith's sign still decorates door on
the fifth floor of the Paxton building,
while on the fourth floor appears the
announcement of Mrs. Alice Galbraith,
the wife who divorced him, that hair
dressing and manicuring are under
taken within.
The sign on the floor above is mis-
leading. DR.. Galbraith is no longer
there. The typewriter is silent. The
fingers that once scampered over it so
nimbly are now his in the eyes of the
law. The melting brown eyes are
those of his new wife, and he and she
are about to journey off across sum-
mer seas, perhaps never to return.
What makes the story most remark
able to the thousands who knew DR..
Galbraith is that he, the father of a
boy Of fifteen and man whose career
seemed settled on bedrock, should
have thrown to the winds all that he
had won and fare forth with his siren
into new worlds as gayly as any reasb
undergraduate.
Dr. Galbraith was chief surgeon of
the Union Pacific railway, one of the
most coveted medical posts in this
part of the continent. This brought
him an income of $4,000 year. Then
he had the privilege of private practice
and this valuable branch of his &C
tivity.
His skill as a surgeon had won him
renown, and no practitioner was in
greater demand for difficult opera-
tons.
In his domestic life there seemed to
| be no flaw. Mrs. Galbraith is esteemed
in the best society of Omaha as an
admirable woman. Their son was a
youth of bright promise, devoted to
! both his father and mother. The
Galbraith home was in the most fash
ionable quarter of the city. and was
/ the scene of many festivities.
Miss Luella NJ Willard was the
stenographer in Dr.. Galbraith's Of
/ fee. She was very handsome. the
idol of a widowed mother living on the
north side.
The rupture occurred last May, when
Mrs. Galbraith applied for a divorce
/ Strong in the dignity of her grief she
made strenuous efforts to keep the de-
tails from becoming public, and wa:
successful
The suddenness Of it and the mvs
5ery Of it staggered society. DR.. Gal
braith was from that moment chang
