ASSASSIN is SILENT.
Man Who Attempted to Murder the
Shah Refuses to Talk.

New York. Aug. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from Paris says: The young
man who attempted to assassinate the
shah OF Persia this morning still main
tains the reticence which SO far con-
ceals his identity, and even his nation
atty He appears to be highly intel
-ligent, but uneducated, and bears all
outward signs of being a laborer ac-
customed to work with the pick and
shovel.
The prevailing opinion is that he act
ed as an agent, like BreSci, but of this
there is no evidence except that his face
contracted and that he shed tears when
the policeman said to him: Now that
your friends have made use of you as
their tool, they will abandon you alto
gether."
Popular indignation against the
would-be assassin is nowhere more
marked than among the working class
es here. The leaders of the socialists
and OF the proletariat, such as Jean
Jaures, Viviani. Gerault- Richard and
others denounce the criminal attempt
even Henri Rochefort attacks thecrim-
adjectives. The congratulat lions receiv-
ed last night by the shah amounted al
most to an ovation
The presence of mind and sangfroid
shown by the shah and his grand vizier
in instantaneously Selling and disar1n-
ing the assassin, and the off-hand way
in which the shah remarked to police
agent. BE sure and have a good pho
tograph of him ready for me when
come back from Versailles" added
greatly to his popularity here.

HIS MOTHER PLEADS.
Asks Commissioners to Release Sam
Bayless From Jail.

The mother of Sam Bayless pleaded
with the county commissioners this
morning to have her son released from
the county Jail where he is serving a
sentence for stealing wire from the
street car company in Oakland
The jail officials think that Bay1ess
has the drug habit and that being de-
prived of st1mulants has broken his
nerves. Today he has been very sick
and the physician who attended him said
he was in a very serious condition. He
has been in jail nearly six months and
has about six months more to serve.

wife wishes him to get out of jail and
have him pay his fine on the installment

before on charge Of larceny and failed

AN UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY
Miss BOWmdn's Recital Will Be
Revelation To MANY

Mies Dorothy Bowman, charming
dramatic reader aud impersonator, and
possessed of unusual histriOnic ability,
will give recital a. Myar's opera house
on Monday night. This charming and
versatile artist halls from California,
but more recently from Mexico City
where she was editor OF the woman's
departm ent of the 1.-TWO Republics"
AS q student, writer Or dramatic read
er and tmpersOnator, this talented
young woman is comprehensive, ver-
sat:ie and narvelously clever. She
came to Ell PasO seeking health aud
rest and while here, has won her way
into many hearts and homes.
AS an entertainer, Miss Bowman has
few equals and no superior. She does
not belong to the ordinary class of elo-
cutionists. but interprets keenly and
delightfully."- the bes: literature of this
or any age.
Miss Bowman is southern woman,
having been born in Virginia; but for
years she has lived in Los Angeles,
California, and attended college at the
famous Stanford University. She
comes from remarkable family of six
girls, gifted in various lines. litera-
ture, music, etc. She herself
is of decided literary bent,
and her most remarkable Characteristic
Is her charming naturalness and origi-
nallty. AT one time she was selected
by the California superintendent of
public instruction to take the examin-
alton and compete for the prize offered
by the San Francisco Examiner to the
brightest pupil in California. She was
then only twelve years old and COM
peted with those of twenty.
In her program on Monday evening,
Miss Bowman ranges from the delie ht-
full interpretations of child verse to
eastern lore. She will appear in selec-
tions from the beautiful child verse
of Riley and Eugene Field; the no less
delightful poems of Ella Wheeler
Wilcox: in Kipliug's wonderful pro-
ductiOn, THE Vampire" which was
inspired by Burne-Jones's enduring
master piece of the same name. AS it
will be impossible for Mr.. Marburg to
assist, Miss Bowman, instead of giving
"Ihe Dagger Scene" from Ingomar,
will substitute the beautiful "Lone
Scene from this delightful Greek
drama.
The Two Republics says: ''As the
pure Greek maiden she is fascinating,
sweet and lovely-captivatin And
the royal barbarian could not but be
charmed aud tanned by the gentle
hostage from Massila.''
But possibly the best number on the
program will be Miss Bowman's Sc
lections from the beautiful and clas-
steal Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. as
she has made special study of this
grand old Persian poet astronomer
and renders his lines with a clear and
beautiful Interpretation.

Ismar, the wonderful Egyptian palm

which is unparalleled. 1t would be
difficult to find among the hundreds who
have gone to her for advice, a single

lied. Do not allow any foolish sen timent
to prevent you from finding out what
you want to know. If you contemplate
any undertaking regarding which there
is any degree of uncertainty, go to see
Ismar at the Orrdorff hotel. She will
tell you whether or not your venture
will be successful and su bsequentevents
will prove that what she tells you is
absolutely correct and accurate. Do
not be skeptic: go and be convinced.
The nature of your difficulty has
nothing to do with the matter, whether
it be a love affair, a threatened danger
or business ven ture. Ismar will tell
you of it just the same. She is re-

pATTI-SCALCHI.
The Great Contrdlto Who Is To Sing
At the Myar Tonight.

Nine. Sofa Scalchi, who has con-
quered the world with her marvellous
voice, was born at Turin. Italy, in 1852,
the year Nine. Adelina Patti first ap-
Peared on the stage. Nine Scalchj
made her debut at Mantua, Italy, in
1866. Her success was both immediate
and emphatic aud she was soon
acknowledged the world G -eatest con-
tralto, q reputation she ably sustains
to this day, as none has arisen to take
her place and none so great ever
preceded her.
1t is we'll known that Nine. Patti
would never sign to sing without stipu-
lating that Scalchi must sing the con-
tralto roles with her. This q spite the
fact that che often took the honors
from Patti. There is but one Patti
because of her many social grsces and
attributes, and one Scalchi because of
her many remarkable musical attri-
butes.
She was married in 1875 to Count
Lolli of Italy, and resides in Turin
where che has vast estates. She is
known in private as the Countess Lol-

ElPaso's swell dressers may care to
pattern after Count de Castellane, OF
whose wondrOus wardrobe the New
York World says:
Be it clearly understood that OF the
four teen Castella re trunks landed from
the French liner La Bretagne, last
Monday, five, the biggest of the bunch,
held pauRht but the purple and fine
linen of the count. The countess was
modestly content with seven trunks of
moderate size, while the valet and
maid put up with a small one each.
There is one popular fallacy in con-
nection with the count. The idea that
he is little chap is all wrong. The
count stands full 5 feet 10 inches in his
glittering little shoes, and thanks to
his tailor sports q pair of padded shout
ders that Shsrkey might envy.
The counts favOrite morning suit is
four-button sack, which once seen
can never be forgotten. 1t Is not so
much a matter of cut as of fabric in the
case of this suit. The color is q deli
cate fswn, crossed and recrossed by
wide stripes of deep sea green. A flow
ing silk bow knot of maroon picked
out in blue figures goes with this cos
tune.
The counts collar is high. mountir g
up among the curls on the back OF his
head, but breaking away from the
nobleman's throat in two broad white
wings. Nothing like this collar has
ever appeared here before.
The shoes that GO with the morning
outfit are dark tao, stitched coquettish-
ly in white thread, and delicstely made
on the plan of q dancing pump.
Count Boni's hats are alone conspicu-
Gus. A derby OF clumsy English block
for tie morning, glittering silk hat
Of n individuality for afternoon, and
the regulation crush for evening.
In overcoats Count Boni makes,
probably, his strongest hit. These
earments-and he has several Of them
are all of the same pattern, very
long and richly fur-lined..
Report has 1t that for one of these
coats, lined throughout with choice
Russian sable, $4,000 was expended.
Another, the counts favorite, is lined
with silver-fox, extremely rare, eX-
ceedingly costly. To the uneducated
eye, however, these garments appear
almost commonplace. They are cut
tight to the count s figure, show plain
cloth exterior, and look as if they
might have cost S45 each. This, of
course, until the count carelessly
throws the coat open, revealing it's
interior elegance.
