One Good Turn.

Sir Henry Hawkins, who was raised
to the peerage as Baron Brampton
after a long term on the criminal
bench, was a notable terror to evil
doors. Toward the close of his career
he happened to arrive at railway
station, and was at once accosted by
a rough fellow who seemed very anx-
ious to assist him in handling his
baggage.
Struck with his friendliness, Sir
Henry said: "You seem very DESTROYS
of helping me. my friend
chats what am, SIR" replied the
man. "You see. sir, once you did me
a good turn"
''Yes?" asked the judge. "When
and where. pray?'
'Well," said the fellow, sit was
when We Jung Crooked Billy. Me an
Billy onct was pals, but we fell out,
and Billy says as cow next time e
dropped eyes on me ed do for me
with knife. I knowed Billy, and
knowed e do as e said: and so e
would, sir, if you 'adn't Jung i'm in
time. So I'd like to do you good
turn, too, Sir Enry."-Youth's Com

Stupidity of sheen.

The stupidest animal in the world
is a plain, everyday sheep. Farmers
are never done telling about their
stupid doings, productive both of an
noyance and financial loss. Here is a
specimen case. A valuable sheep was
missing, and after a long search the
owner concluded that it had been
killed by dogs. Some days later,
while looking under the barn floor,
he saw the missing animal in a salt
barrel. The barrel was lying on its
side, and the sheep had gone in to
lick up the salt which adhered to the
sides of the barrel. Finding that it
could not go on through, it stopped,
and had been there seven days when
discovered, without food or drink.
And it would have stayed there until
it persisted. All it had to do was to
back out of the barrel, but it hadn't
sense enough to do it.-Golden Days.

Lives Are Lost in a Dis
astrous Blaze in
Wisconsin.

HURLEY. Wis, Nov. 6.-The Klondike
Theater, owned by Edward LIE Clair,
caught fire early to-day while most of the
inmates were in bed and the wooden
structure was soon mass or hre. NINE
men and one woman are missing and
there may be others who have lost then
lives in the fire.
The dead are:
C. w. CLEVELAND, attorney, Hurley.
TOM RYAN, comedian, Ironwood, Mich.
F. L. GAY, stage manager, st. Louis
THOMAS OZZONNE, property man.
THOMAS LIE CLAIR, bartender, brother
of owner
H. H. CLIFFORD, comedian.
HARRY RAYMOND. porter.
GEORGE BENERT. pugilist..
CLARA BONNIE. vocalist.
D. B. MEYER, musician.
The injured are: Jennie Bender, SOU
brette, burned, may die; Laura Russell,
musician, badly bruised; William Rush
bolt, barber, Ironwood, Mich, face cut;
William Mclaughlin, second cook, burned,
may die; Ella Hess, vocalist, bruised and
burned
The Klondike Theater building was a
structure 125 feet long, three stories high
and so feet wide, and valued at $4,000 1t
was occupied by twenty-five people, con-
siSting of the LIE Clair family and a stock
company, which gave a vaudeville enter
tainment six nights a week. On the first
floor was the auditorium, barroom, gam
bling rooms, dressing rooms, kitchen, din
ing rooms, stage and proprietor's bed
| room. On the second floor were the boxes
and number of rooms. The third floor
was partitioned into sleeping apartments.
The fire is thought to have been caused
by the explosion of an oil stove in the
proprietors bedroom. When the alarm
was sounded the flames had cut off exit
by the stairway. The only remaining exit
was through the side and front windows.
Some of the women crawled through the
side windows, dropped to the adjoining
buildings and reached the ground with
slight injuries. +,
Laura Russell, of the musical team of
Meyer and Russell, was thrown from the
third story by her partner. D. M. Meyer,
and fell heavily to the sidewalk, sustain
ing a broken elbow, and was badly
bruised. Meyer is thought to have tried
to rescue or alarm his friends. for he did
not follow through the window. He lost
his life. William Rushbolt, an 1rOnwood,
Mich, man, jumped from the second story
and Ill his fall was caught by telephone
wire and turned over in the air. He fell
on his face and side and had his limbs
broken. His recovery is uncertain.
Clara Bonne, the only woman victim,
was warned of the danger but, after start
ing for safety returned to her room. 1t
is supposed she hoped to secure a portion
of her jewelry and wardrobe Frank l..
Gay, the stage manager, had been in his
room about an hour when the fire broke
out and no one saw him after he left
the dressing room. Seven bodies of the
missing have been found, but their iden-
tity cannot be determined.

49,, HERE is war in the camp of the
booksellers of the pretty little
town of Sausalito No longer do
Joseph Harvey and Adolph Sylvia
ouaff the gentle cocktail or the
brew of Gambrinus together, Tor the Tor
mer charges Sylvia with having given MIN
the double cross and in the words OF a
long complaint filed by Attorney James
w. Cochrane in the County Clerks office
of Marin County last evening accuses
SYLVIA of having cheated him out of a
half-interest' in the electric light works
of Sausalito and of having conveyed the
same to Florence Sylvia, his sister and
agent.
Harvey and Sylvia are we'll known In
sporting circles in California. Harvey Tor
years was a familiar figure at the race
tracks and other places where men tempt
fortune and "Haryey's wheel OF fortune
has caused many to regret having gone
up against his game.
Sylvia for some time was the boss or
Sausalito. and when the gamblers were
driven out of San Francisco he shocked
the residents of the little town across the
bay by using his influence to allow p0ol-
rooms to run wide open in the respectable
suburban place.
Sylvia also came into notoriety in the
Fair case in bolstering UP the claims of
Mrs Nettie Craven that she was the
widow of the dead mfllionaire, ana Win
other witnesses was indicted for perjury.
Sylvia and Harvey became close friends
when the last named ran his poolrOomS
in Sausalito and it was alleged that sylvia
had an interest in the gambling places.
Harvey Accuses Adolph Sylvia.
According to the complaint of Harvey,
filed yesterday evening. Sylvia came to
him in April last and requested that he,
Harvey, loan the sum of $4,000 to Thomas
G. Frost, one of the proprietors of the
Sausalito Electric Light Works. Frost
had established the light works in July,
1885, his partner being Thomas E. Scully.
In April last Frost and Scully decided to
dissolve partnership and it was agreed
that Frost should buy out his partner s
interest which was valued at $4,000.
Frost hired Sylvia to act as his attorney
and agent in the matter and it was in
this capacity that Sylvia approached Har-
vey and tried to make touch for $4,000.
Harvey, however refused to make the
loan to Sylvia on Frost's behalf. but
agreed to purchase the half-interest in
