A Bit of Hoyt's Wit.

In his palmy. healthful days almost
every act of Hoyt was an anecdote.
and there were very many of his acts.
One that will appeal particularly to
theatrical people is told by an actor as
follows:
'Hoyt made many friends, and some
Of them were real fast friends. Two OF
the fastest in both the affectionate and
convivial sense he took with him In
the production of one OF his successful
comedies In connection with the busl-
ness management of the piece. Now,
1t is true Of all theatrical management
that there is always rivalry between
the man ahead OF the show and the
man back with the show as to which
will be the whole thing. After these
two men had been on the road with
the company for several weeks a
strong rivalry grew up, and the man
ahead of the show billed himself on
the programmes as manager and the
other as agent. or course the reduced
gentlemen Kicked and to settle the
dispute the man who was the whole
thing wired Hoyt in some anger, Il
want to know how l shall bill - on
the house programmes Quick as a
fash the answer came from Hoyt, Bill
him as excess baggage.-Hoyt.' kan

Indiana oil Mad.

Hartford City, Ind, Feb. 13.-Never in
the history Of the Indiana oilfelds has
there been such excitement as today. Al
ready the prices of everything in the little
village OF Dundee, nine miles northwest
of this city, have advanced to price that
startles the prospectors. Yesterday it was
only a speck on the map; today II is APP
parently the center OF the most wonder
full oilheld in the United States. II is the
opinion Of some oil men that il will prove
the most valuable in the worlds history
of oil operation. The Dundee well owned
by the Standard Oil company which has
wrought all the unexpected change came
in at depth OF over 1000 feet. 1t was
unexpected and, like shot from 10
inch gun, blew away the oil saver and
casing head and sent solid stream of oil
six and a half inches in diameter.

Death of ex-kinR Milan.

Ex-King Milan of Seryia has died in
Vienna. Milan was born in 1854 at Jas
sy, the son Of Melos Obrenovic and a
Moldavian woman, whose elopement with
Prince Cuza shortly after the birth OF
Milan caused a scandal at the court. Mi
Ian was adopted by his uncle. Prince Mi
chael Obrenovic III, the reigning prince
of Servia, and was educated in Paris.
Upon the assassination of his uncle in the
gardens of his palace at Belgrade on June
10, 1865, Milan was called to assume the
government. He made himself one of the
most eccentric and most thoroughly de-
spised of monarch in the history OF Eu-
ropean royalty. In 1883 Queen Natalie
got a divorce from the ex-king. In 1889
the Servian government could stand him
no longer, and it paid him 100000 to be
off about his own affairs. He accepted
and spent the money in two years of Pa
risian debauchery. He ran through sew
eral fortunes afterward and at his death
was practically penniless and dependent
upon the charity OF the Hapsburgs Of
Austria

Presentations For Nicely Trial.

Havana, Feb. 13.-The testimony al
ready submitted on behalf of the govern
ment in the case against c. F. w. Nicely,
the alleged postoffice embezzler, covers
more than 1000 typewriter pages. This
represents, however, only portion of the
whole evidence to be presented, and wit
nesses are being examined daily. Archi-
tects are drawing up plans of the post
office vault, hreroom and electrozone
plant, which are expected to have an inn
portant bearing on the stamp burning in
cident. Nicely was asked to accompany
some witnesses to the postoffice, but on
the advice of his counsel he declined to do
SO. The fiscal who is preparing the testi-
mony says that the examination of wit
nesses and the translating OF their testi-
mony will take considerable time and that
he is unable to predict when the work
will be completed.

Many Leaders Told to XIII Them

selves.
Picking, Feb. 13.-Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang have received a long dis
patch from the court which they have
not disclosed to the foreign ENJOYS. 1t is
understood to contain, in addition to the
recent celebrated reform decree, an &C
count of how Emperor Kwang Su has
sent choice of methods OF suicide to all
those named for punishment by the en-
voys, closing with the inquiry whether
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang think
the ENJOYS will be satisfied.
1t is understood that the Chinese pleni
potentiaries in their reply to the court
said the foreign ENJOYS could not object
strongly to an accomplished fact, but that
they would probably insist upon the
sentence Of execution being published
throughout the empire and possibly upon
the heads of those condemned being ex-
hibited at various points.
1t is very seriously doubted in Chinese
circles here that General Tung Flu Hsi-
ang will agree to commit suicide. The ar
my worships him. He has absolute con-
troll of the Mohammedans and Is believed
to be one himself. He refused to allow
the disbandment of 5000 men, and the
emperor ordered him far from the court.
To attempt his execution, it Is thought in
Chinese circles, might mean civil war.
This morning the foreign ENJOYS met
and considered the question OF quarters
for the legation guards. The matter of
indemnites was also mentioned, especial
ly as bearing upon the damage done to
the personal property of farmers.
