MAcREADY ON THE STAGE
The Tragedian Was Not n Pleasant
Man to Act With.

The Tragedian Was Not n Pleasant
a to Act With.
Macready was a dreadful man to act
with. You had the pleasant sensation
Of knowing that you were doing moth
ing that he wanted you to do, though
following strictly his instructions. He
would press you down with his hand
on your head and tell you in an under
tone to stand up. Mr.. Macready was q
terribly v actor. Any little
thing which happened unexpectedly IT.
ritated him beyond endurance.
One night at the Park Macbeth
was the play. Mrs. Sloman, an old
fashioned actress, dressed Lady Mac
beth in the manner which prevailed
in her early life, in black velvet, point
lace and pearl beads. In the murder
scene part of his dress caught on the
tassels Of her pearl girdle. The string
broke, the beads fell to the floor softly
with q pretty rhythmic sound, distinct
ly heard through the intense silence
Of the scene.
This 81 exasperated Mr.. Macready
that he was almost frantic, until, with
the final lines of the scene, "Wake,
Duncan with the knocking, oh! Would
thou couldst," he threw Mrs. Sloman
off the stage, with words which 1 hope
were unheard by the public and were
certainly unfit for publication.-"Auto.

SKATERS GIGANTIC MULES.
How They LANDED at Balquiri Witnessed
BY q Large Crowd.

Evening Standard, Leavenworth, Kan.
One of the problems that beset Shat
ter's army was the landing of his pack
mules in Cuba. A large audience saw
how it was done, at Wells park last
night. The cineomatagraph reproduces
it perfectly.
From the transport a skiff put off lead
ing two mules. The steady struggles of
the animals coming through the water
are watched until they strike bottom,
when they arc liberated, and like two
half drowned rats, founder up On the
beach, the breakers rolling in upon and
all but swapping them.
Several military drills are shown, in
fantry, cavalry and artillery and num-
erous pictures of the war. The miscel-
laneous pictures that proceeded the war
scenes were excellent. Following the
war scenes the Passion Play was given.
This is the third week of the pictures
in Lcavenworth and fully four times as
many people witnessed them as witness
ed those of the first night. The major
ity stayed to re-witness the ever interest
ing Passion Play.
This marvellous entertainment has
been engaged by the Dickinson Hose
Co. band to appear at the opera house
for two nights commencing Monday, Jan
8. Prices IS, IS and 50 cents.

The bank suspensions in Bos-
ton, following and accompanying
a period of tight money! have
made the past week an anxious
one in business and financial cir
cles. In these days, all the
world is one in matters of finance,
and a disaster to Bri fish arms in
South Africa, with a consequent
drop in consols, is felt in all the
markets of the world; but the
Boston bank suspensions would
have come to pass, very likely, if
there had been no ultimatum and
no war. They represent the in
evltable backward swing which
follows excessive speculation. In
the case of the Globe bank, at
least they are symptomatic not OF
unsound business conditions so
much as of unsound fnanciering.
1t is the old story of"Napoleonic'
finance, which makes fortunes in
a day and loses them as quickly

The Latest X Roy Invention

Is the Endoscopc, which is for the pur-
pose of examining the interior of the
stomach. 1t is claimed that with this
instrument, the treatment of stomach
troubles will be revolutionized, as it To-
Gates the cause of the disease. With
due respect to science, however, would
state that the causes of stomach troubles
have been known for the past fifty years,
and likewise their cure, which is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine that
has many imitators, but no equals. 1t
cures dyspepsia, indigestion, b%iliousness,
constipation, nervousness, insomnia. 1t
also prevents malaria, fever and ague,

deacon to lead in prayer. The dusky
brother in his fervent appeal asked
that a shower Of heavenly grace be
permitted to fall upon his white friend.
He said:

The Busy Modern Gir1hoOd Smiles

An extract from the journal of a
young lady Of fashion" several centu-
ries ago makes one feel quite relieved
that it is not really a part of elegant
living nowadays to keep journals, re-
marks an exchange. Poor little faded
journal! The delicate little hand that
penned those cramped lines, maybe,
was given to "John Grey" For TO-
mance's sake, let's hope that it was.
90 o'clock-Went to walk with the
lady, my mother, in the courtyard.
40 o'clock-Went to dinner; John
Grey, a most comely youth-but what
is that to me? A v%irtuous maiden
should be entirely under the direction
Of her parents. John ate but little and
stole q great many tender looks at me;
, said women would never be handsome,
in his opinion, who were not good ma
tured. 1 hope my temper is not intol-
cradle. F." !" Rose from the table;
the company all DESTROYS Of walking
in the fields; John Grey would lift me
over every stile, and twice he squeezed
my hands with vehemence. I cannot

John Grey; he plays at prison bars as

and is remarkably dutiful to his par

And ever bloom.
