DANCE HALL ATTRACTION.
Carrie Nation Used as an Advertising
Feature.

III ~
Mrs. Carrie Nation, in whose antics
while she was on the rampage on her
native Kansas heath there was for a
time some little public interest, has
now become an adjunct to a Coney
Island dance and all-round amusement
hall, says a New York dispatch. APP
parantly it is a part of her contract
to do preliminary Ratchet war dances
and to make herself generally noisy
and offensive enough in public places
to attract attention, get written about
in the newspapers and so turn in a
liberal amount of free advertising
to the show with which she has an
engagement.
If this is the case the Coney Is
land dance hall managers a%ssuredly
can find no fault with the amount of
public disturbance she kicked up yes
terday. With a press agent at her
heels she started early in the fore
noon of Labor day, and did a good
freak advertising business up to the
time of her arrival in the afternoon
at the Coney Island show where she
was billed to appear. BY previous
arrangement one of the Manhattan
drinking places permitted her to smash
a bottle or two of water Oh the prem
Uses, but with this exception all her
other liquor store demonstrations
were entirely harmless save that she
made herself more or less a nuisance
to people who had got weary of read
ing her rant, much less hearing it.
She Went down to Coney Island on the
iron steamboat Pegasus, and while
she was on board kept up a general
rumpus of n sort and another. She
made abortiye dashes at walters who
were carrying beer to people,; pre-
on the lower deck and finally wound
up by climbing on a chair and max
ing a pest of herself to everybody
within sound of her voice by turning
loose one of her tedious Trades.
It was all very good business in
am advertising way for the show with
which she is connected and the holi.
day crowd was for the most part good
natured under it. Furthermore, Car
RE was very wary about doing things
that might entail arrest, always stop.
ping just short of any act that could
be interpreted as distinctly a breach
of the people.
"A glowing banner n front of the
show announced that she was to be
there and she was in fact billed to
deliver three lectures" at 4 o'clock,
O'Clock and $3.50 o'clock in the
evening. It costs SO cents to hear
Carrie talk and as comparatively few
had escaped hearing her already there
seemed to be a general disposition tc
regard the short time that her Ian
guage was confined to a hired hall as
a sort of public boon which few were
inclined to lose.
She was ready to begin the 4 O'Clock
lecture promptly on time and a.
though leather-lunged bankers made
records in the barking line there were
just two people in the hall at 4:3O ano
they were d~eadheads. She did moi
do much better at the later lectures
as Coney Island pleasure seekers
don't go to the island to hear an ole
woman "shoot off her mouth"

sistnat Postmaster General Shallen-

announcement of the attempt upon
the presidents life, he remarked with
an oath, that he was sglad of it," and
added that the president should have
been killed years ago. Three citizens
of the town called upon Cortright and
/. asked If the report was correct and
he replied that it was. Upon receiv-
ing this information duly supported
by oaths Of the citizens who had
heard this statement made, General
Shallenberger took prompt steps to
cancel Cortrigbt's contract upon the
ground that a person capable OF such
a sentiment 81 not a At custodian OF
