LITERARY NOTABLES.


 Count Tolstoi said recently: "When came to give up the luxuries of my early life the thing that found it hard est to lose was hunting. I was passion ately fond of riding to the hounds"
 Hood wrote 'sThe Bridge of Signs" in, it is said, single afternoon. Another account declares it to have been writ ten in day, and that much time sub sequently spent in revising it.
 William Dean Howells, the novelist, writes very slowly, and, although his hand looks like hurried one, it is real ly almost laborious. At the same time he finds dictation almost impossible and therefore depends entirely upon his pen.
 H. B. Irving, the elder of Sir Henry Irving's two sons, was 31 on August 5. As an author he is winning recog- milton by his books. MT. Irving be- longs to the greatly increasing band of university men who have become ac- tors, for he was educated at Oxford. It is now ten years since he made his first appearance on the stage, which he left for a time in order to finish read ing for the bar.

HEIGHT BELLS"

A fair sized audience witnessed the performance of Flight Bells" by the Byrne Brothers in Polls last evening. This farce was as funny as ever and will never lose an item of attraction while in the custody of the Byrne brothers. A few new features were introduced and were heartily re- ceieved The climax to the elopement was very Imaginable and the shipwreck actually side-splitting. There are few theatrical men so extremely and gen. timely funny as the Byrne brothers in their particular line. It appears to be against their rules to respond to ap- plause. for notwithstanding that there were numerous demands for encores, none were given. 9t

The Appetite of a Bird.

People who are very dainty are sometimes said to have only the ap- petite of canary bird. But scien- tific skeptic recently resolved to find out just what the appetite of ca nary bird is. He weighed canary and found it weighed PAT grains, or something overhall an ounce. He also weighed all the food. and finds that the bird eats 32 times his weight every month, or actually more than his weight every day, showing that the proverbia1 pig is a light eater as compared with the canary.-London Scientific Siftings.

Where Lone Wolf is Reported
to be Preparing to Contest
Opening by a Restraining Or
der From the Courts.

Guthrie. OK, July S.-The re-
port is current here that Judge
William Springer. representing
Lone Wolf and other Indians be-
longing TO the Kiowa and Conan
che tribes, will apply IN the Uni
ted States district court at FL Reno
this week for an injunction 10 re-
strain the registrars and receivers
OF the new land Offices at I'll Reno
and Lswton from carrying out the
provisions Of the presidents proc
lamation opening the new country.
G. Porter Johnson of Oklahoma
City, who is said to be preparing
the petition, denies that the story
is true. He eaid today that he
had received letter on the sub
jcct fron Judge Springer, but that
nothing had been done.
Oklahomans familiar with pre-
vious openings were disappointed
in finding that the presidents
proclamation designated only the
FL Reno and Lawton land Offices
as places where homeseekers could
register in their application for a
homestead. Lawton is isolated
from railroads, which will throw
the bulk Of the crowd to lei Reno.

mated as registration Offices, and
an effort will be made to secure

A Glue TO the Assailant.

Washington, D. @. Dec 1.-The police
are still without the slightest clew to
the asssilant OF Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dem
mis-, the fashionable modiste who was
found in dying condition 10 her room.
at I'LL K street yesterday. The hos
pitsl authorities report her condition as
unchanged and hold out little hope for
her recovery. The police have abso-
lutely nothing on which to base Q
theory and frankly admit that Mrs.
Dennis alone Can tell who committed
the assault. To attain this cod the
doctors are exerting every effort to
bring the injured woman to conscious
ness. The police merely express the
belief that the ssssilant WAS acquainted
with Mrs. Dennis's habits and familiar
with the room. The light, which
usually burned dim 10 her room, was
out when her cries and means for help,
brought assistance. A high govern
ment official is figuring prominently in
the case owing to the numerous visits
be paid Mrs. Dennis. Suddenly, 60 the
police are informed, he stopped visiting
her, aud until a satisfactory reason for
the discontiousnce of bis visits is found
be will unconsciously remain under
