Some years ago in London, Madame
Sarah Bernhard was the recipient OF
very handsome opal and emerald pendant.
from Miss Olga -'ethersole who presented
1t to the great artist as proof of her ad-
mration and her affection. Madame
Bernhardt wore the jewel for some time
and until a Series OF misfortunes, culmin-
ating In a serious illness, induced her TO
lay aside the charm.
When the two distinguished ladies met
i'm Miss Nethersole's. dressing room at
Wallacks Theatre the other evening,
Madame Bernhardt triumphantly drew
Miss Nethersoles attention 30 the fact
that she was again wearing the opal and
laughingly declared that she could now
wear IL with perfect safety since she be
lieved that she had completely vanduish-
ed all her misfortunes. Thus IL is seen
that the greatest OF artists are not supe-
rior TO superstitious beliefs.

Those 10 whom the word "juggler" ex-
presses nothing TO arouse particular in
terest or attract attention are finding out
this week at Keith's that in the case of
Kara IL means far more than they ever
dreamed of This wonderful performer
certainly well deserves his title of 'the
worlds greatest juggler,' for the GER
tainty. smoothness and dexterity with
which every trick is performed are little
less than marvellous. He does things
that no other juggler has even attempted;
and he does many OF the old tricks with
additional features that make them vir-
tuslly new. Nothing like his performance
has ever before been seen here: and the
fact that, although appearing very near
the close or the bill at night he holds
the closest attention 10 the end of his act.
and then is rewarded with several cur
tain calls is best possible proof OF the
fact that even those who ordinarily do
not care for jugglery find in his act
something we'll worthy OF their atten-
tion and abounding I'm pleasing qualities.

With Fist.

Barrel.
Two important Witnesses From This
City.

The most iulportan: witnesses for
the state in the Henderson murder case
ut Canton Friday, were from this
city.
John Master, a tailor, employed by
Breckenridge Bros, was the first
called. He said that he had been n
prisoner in the county Jail at Canton
while Henderson was there. During
that time he became acquainted with
the prisoner. He said that RENDER
son had told him that he struck old
man Hartong with his fist. He also
said they were disappointed in the
amount OF moncr that they got. His
testimony was n surprise to the de-
fense. He was rounded up by Prison
keeper Washer.
Jack Wilson, the East Akron livery
man, was another important witness.
He said that Henderson was in the
office Of his stable the morning of the
second day after the murder While
there he picked up paper containing
an account of the crime. After read
ing it over he said to Wilson 1T is a
lie. | did not hit the old man with n
coupling pin. l tapped him couple
of times with my hand. The news
papers will publish anything Will
son also testified that Henderson told
him that he had got $500 by the burg
larry. He found STOO of the money in
a pork barrel back of the door in which
the old man slept.
1t will be remembered that the
Democrat published the greater part
of Wilson's story last summer. At
that time 1t was denied. He also said
at Canton Friday that he had told the
story to Frank Brehm There will he

BEGGARS '-..
Deposit Their Money.
Reported That $500 Was
Placed In Back.
Fortune TeIlers Find More
Victims Here.
Orders Issued to Place Them
Under Arrest.
Business Men Have Been SwindIed
by Women.

Early this morning dozen members
of the gypsy gang, which is encamped
at Summit lake. came into the city and
started out on systematic begging
expedition.
II has been reported to Chief Harri-
son that one OF the men in the crowd
recently deposited 5000 in local bank.
All OF this sum was raised in Akron.
The methods adopted are novel.
The women are sent into the busi-
ness sections of the city. They claim
to be fortune tellers Approaching their
victim they inform MIN that they will
tell his fortune If he will place a silver
piece in their hand. AS soon as they
get possession of il they refuse to pro-
coed, claiming that he gave them the
money. OF course he protests and a
disturbance generally follows. A
crowd gathers and the man is placed
in an awkward position Rather than
attract too much attention he let's the
matter drop. Numerous complaints
have been made TO tho chief of this
game.
Saturday morning he issued orders
to the officers to arrest all those who
We're found begging. The gypsies have
collected a great lot of old clothing
which is sold to secondhand dealers
and rag men. Last night two of the
women stopped on their way to the
camp and threw away a number of
garments which had been given to
them. The stuff was not quite up to
the standard.
