REAL MURDER ON STAGE.
How Rejected suitor shot His
Sweetheart and Himself.


From the Philadelphia Times.
Fatal accidents on the stage during
a performance from an unlucky sword
thrust or from the careless loading
with a ball cartridge of a pistol that
should have been loaded with a blank
cartridge are not infrequent. but the
intentional shooting of Millie Light
hawk and the suicide of her assailant
during a dress rehearsal at Omaha,
recently. is almost a unique case.
The name of the play was The Fe-
male Bandit" It's authoress, Miss
Lighthawk or Miss Mile Allen as she
is known in private life. had the title
role. 1t was at a first dress rehearsal
by the company that Thad Brookin
took the opportunity of adding realism
to his part and making the human
interest of the play more intense. He
had been a devoted admirer of the
actress and playwright, and his atten>
tions were acceptable until a few weeks
ago, when Bert Adams. an employe OF
a wholesale wallpaper house, appear
ed. Miss Lighthawk's Partially for
his society was the cause of her be-
ing wounded, perhaps fatally, and then
of his rivals suicide, because he
thought he had succeeded I'm killing
her.
ACCUSE tions and recriminations end
ing in bitter quarrels occurred with
much frequency between Brookin and
the woman he loved. He had vio-
lent temper and for this reason mem
bers of THE Female Bandit com
pany kept the couple apart. He had
often threatened to take her life. con-
sequently friends OF both prevented
him from carrying weapons. But the
dress rehearsal gave Brookin the OPP
portunity for which he was waiting.

i'll at ease and played her part with
an effort.
The play proceeded until the fourth
act was reached. A bank robbery
planned by Queakley, the villain, has
been forestalled and a Jail delivery
thwarted. Capture by the police at
this point is imminent. With the

Brookin became more and more vehe-
ment. The climax was reached when
the villain commanded in the words
of the play:
Say, quickly, shall it be me and life.
or Bill Desmond and death?"
For answer the heroine points to Des-
mond hurrying down the mountain side.
Thad Brookin pulled the trigger and
watched Miss Lighthawk as she fell
to the floor. 1t seemed so fine piece
of acting to the spectators that they
clapped loud and long. Brookin, after
looking at the doorway a moment and
seeing it filled with people, pressed the
revolver, still smoking at the muzzle,
against his temple and fired a second
shot. Immediately players and on
lockers knew that a crime had been
committed. Thad Brookin had sub
stituted bullets for blank cartridges
and reality had usYrped the place of
pretense.
Miss Lighthawk lies between life and
death in a ward at Clarkson Hospi

Thad Brookin has been buried in the

INSURANCE ON THE QUEEN.
Her British Tradesmen Protected
Themselves Against Loss.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
zone of the most curious incidents in
connection with the passing of Queen Vic
toria,' remarked a prominent insurance
man of this city. -"wiH be the collection
of thousands Of policies on her life. which
have been carried for years past by all
classes of people in England. Most of
this insurance was taken out lty trades
people, and was a purely business-like
precaution. They assumed that the
death of the Queen would be followed bv
period of court mourning lasting from
four to six months during which time no
great state functions would be held and
society generally would be in retirement.
The effect of such a season on business
was certain to be demoralizing in the ex-
treme, and 1t was easy to foresee that IL
would mean a falling off in trade to the
tune of millions of pounds The insurance
was written as an Offset to such a con-
tingency, and ranges all the way from
the little f2O policies to humble shop
Keepers up to lump sums of thousands.
Inc bulk of 1t was taken many years
ago, because no prudent company would
care to assume the risk after the Queen
passed certain age, and she has lived
so much longer than the average human
being, particularly the average crowned
head, that the insurers have had a goo
deal the worst of the bargain / dare
say most of their premiums have trebIed
or quadrupled the face value OF the poll
cies. 1t has always been possible to OBJ
tain such insurance, however, in few com
panies that made speciality Of writing
1t. and 1t is a well-known fact that an
enormous sum was placed on the Queens
life for the twenty-four hours covering
her jubilee celebration. All the London
storekeepers counted upon gathering In
an immense harvest on that day and they
were thunderstruck when a rumor went
out, shortly before that the venerable
sovereign had had a serious seizure It
was said afterward that the story was
started by insurance promoters. and IL so
II was one Of the most coid-blooded and
heartless pieces of commercial strategy
on record. But be that as II may. ID re-
suited in wholesale insurlng against the
possibility that the celebration would fail
to take place according to programme. and
IL was said on good authoiity that the
insurers included not only the comm n
run of tradespeople, but folks who had
rooms to rent, street stalls 10, hire and
the proprietOrs of temporary places OF
amusement. That reminds me, by the way,
that tine principal London theaters are
said TO be among the establishments that
carry the heaviest regular policies on the
Queens life. In their case the precau-
ton can be easily understood. for their
business has always been strongly affect
ed by occasions Of public mourning
few days retirement OF the court follow
Ing the death OF some minor member OF
the royal family invariably reduces re-
ceipts TO a serious extent. and / think
most OF them will simply close their door
during the period Of mourning for the

the fall as well. We used to put up from
50 to 100 pounds of them every year, yellow
dock burdock, sassafras, and sarsaparii-
la. and there were whole families who
took their sulphur and molasses with
little cream of tartar every spring, TAX
ing it three mornings and skipping 1t
three.
LAS for tooth drawing, I never did much
of that myself, though 1 have done 1t.
There was generally some one in the store
who liked that work. 1t was great fun
for the boys, and we used TO get them in
to experiment. If the tooth didn't come
out very easily we would lance the gum
all around and it came out without any
trouble, but it left the gum in bad
condition.
THE reason so much of this work was
left for the druggist was because we did
not have any doctors. We were working
people Why, in 1857 there were only seven
millionaires in the United States. All our
wealthy men have made their money SINCE
the war Our men did not have time
to spend a number of years in college.
When the war broke out a, law in this
state was passed giving physicians di-
ploma when they had one year in col
lege and two years experience in the
field. That was the reason so many doc
tors took post graduate courses later. IT
was only in the South that men had time
to study. The Southern men were gen.
tlemen and devoted themselves to law,
war and medicine. The medical students
at Bellevue were Southern men. They
had the time and money for study, and
they owned anywhere from few hundred
to a thousand slaves, and they needed
knowledge of medicine to look out for
them So at the time of the war we had
only a few doctors and not many lawyers.
There was a good deal OF interest In
the business then, but there always Is,
and we meet all kinds of people. They
don't think anything of routing us out of
bed now at 2 or o'clock in the morning
to look at the directory because they
think IT is our business to keep an open
directory for them, and they get us up
at any hour tosuse the telephone"

no sense a patent medicine. and for that
reason more physicians of high standing
are using, prescribing and recommending
it than any other remedy.
Senator Dwyer had used various medi-
cines, and they had done him no good.
Just how Paine's celery compound was
first brought to his attention he does not
remember, but it has done so much for his
health that it has no more enthusiastic

Senator Dwyer has recommended
Paines celery compound to many of his
friends, and has yet to hear anything but
the most favorable results from any one
of them.
Busy men and women threatened with
failure of nerve force and showing the
effect of too prolonged, too hard. or too
anxious work by periods of languor, de-
preston, nervousness, dyspepsia, or other
signs OF nerve exhaustion will find Paine $
celery compound an invigorator as supe-
rior to all other remedies as modern
scientific methods are superior to old
fashioned, inaccurate ones.
When Paines celery compound is used,
other members of the family are quick to
see the great gain in health
Paine's celery compound IS the one
known nerve feeder and nerve restorative.
By its means all the functions of the
body receive a fresh, supply of nerve food.
1t encourages the body to produce an
abundant supply of this Indispensable
vital force, without which there can be
no health, strength, nor happiness in liv-
ing. From the lack of nerve force men
and women are. driven to dependency,
melancholy, insanity and suicide.

From the Denver hepuDicdn
The fish at the Colorado state hatcher
les are kept in several small pools in or
der that they may be separated accord
ing to their kind and cared for properly.
Occasionally ii was desired to clean these
pools or make some alteration TO them.
This caused a great deal of trouble for
the superintendent. IL was almost impos-
sible to get all the fish out of the pools
without killing many of them. yet unless
the pool was cleaned ever SO often the
fish would die.
During Mr.. Hager's superintendency he
has made an especial pet of one of the
largest trout I'm the hatcheries Whenever
he fed the fish this trout was always
among the first to come to him. and nm
ally grew 50 daring that II would snap
at the pieces OF the liver which he held
IN his hand. Whenever he appeared on
the walks surrounding the pool this trout
would always come to him, and as he
walked around the pool 1t would follow
him. The other fish in the pond learned
that the big trout always got most Of the
good things 20 eat, and consequently there
finally grew "a good-sized procession when
ever the big trout assumed the role of
leader
Finally Mr.. Hager had on inspiration
One day when he wanted to clean the
pool which was the big trouts home he
opened the inlet leading into another pool
and got his procession started by hold
ing out handful of Nver toward the big
trout which thereupon was willing to
follow him anywhere. In this way Mr..
Hager conducted all the fish into the other
pool without the slightest difficulty and
without losing any OF them. Since then
whenever he has wished to clean any Of
the pools he has first secured the big
trout and then. with II for a leader, he
has had no difficulty in getting the rest
Or the nnny population out of the way.
