oHenoer' re sight of bottle OF red ink
was enSugh to frighten her for week
| She said the use OF 1t was almost certain
to precede some awful trouble.
! 'on one OCCASION" says Mr.. Robson
we were playing farce called The Lady
and the Devil An important scene was
when she was seated at writing table
preparatory to composing a letter. 1. as
her servant, was standing at the back OF
her chair.
Take your right hand from that
chair she said in a stage whisper to me.
This ratified me a trifle. The stage
dialogue then proceeded:
'' You are sure you can lind Don Rafael
at his lodgings?'
Yes, madame: his servant tells me
his wound will confine him to his bed for
a week
rs this the only paper we have?
Where is the ink?'
Here, madame and bent forward to
place the ink within her reach, when, in
my confusion at her reproof. the vessel
was upset and it's contents trickled into
the lap of her white satin dress. The ink
was blood red. The ghastly lcok that
came over Miss Keene's face l shall
never forget; / was so frightened that l
never knew how the scene ended
1.-The next morning at rehearsal she
told me that would never have any luck
as long as | lived, and that my trouble
in the world would be endless. She
called the company together, gave them
a detailed account of what she termed
the awful scene of the night before, oc-
casioned by the stupidity of the unfortu-
nate young man who would never make
an actor. She told of terrible dream
she had had in which some great per-
sOnage, unknown to her, had been foully
murdered before her eyes; how she had
attempted his rescue, but without avail;
how he had fallen at~her feet. his head,
from which his life's blood slowly ooZed,
resting on her lap.
1.-TWO years after this occurrence Miss
Keene was playing at Ford's Theatre, on
Tenth Street, Washington. In the third
act of the play a sharp shot was heard
in the stage box, from which man
leaped, brandishing a smoking weapon
and shouting sic semper tyrannis.' The
audience and actors were alike paralyzed.
Miss Keene seemed to be the only person
who actually realized the situation. She
ran to the box, and in a moment the
head of the dying man was in her lap,
the red blood oozing from ghastly
wound.
"The assassin" concluded Mr.. Robson,
"was my old boyhood's friend, John
Wilkes Booth; his victim. Abraham Lin
coin"
Melville Ellis, the good-looking young
man who played one of the principal roles
in "The Toreador," is a composer Of quite
a little ability. He wrote the music for
Becky Sharp" presented in London by
Marie Tempest. Besides this opera MI
Ellis has contributed a good deal to the
musical comedies of George Edwardes at
the London Gaiety. and in the English me-
tropolis is ranked as musician OF much
merit.

RECOMMENDATIONS Solicited.

When these lists reach the sacred
college at the vatican the names are
sent by the cardinals to the Ameri-
can archbishops with requests for
their personal opinions and recon-
mendations as regards the candi-
dates. The archbishops have the
right to suggest other names, it is
said, and after this informa ton is
secured the college of cardinals will
act.
The cardinals are not bound by the
nominations of the priests and bish-
ops or by the recommendations of
the archbishops, although these gen
orally have great weight.

SPALD|NG SELECTED
Peoria PreIate Recommended as
Archbishop Feehan's
Successor.
MULDooN THE SECOND CHOICE

Be Submitted to Various
Church Councils.

The Most Rev. John Lancaster
Spalding, bishop of Peoria, and senior
bishop of the Roman Catholic prov
ince of Illinois, was selected by both
priests and bishops in their respect
i've conferences at Chicago yesterday
as the dignissimus, or most worthy
aspirant to the archiepiscopaI see of
Chicago. made vacant by the death
of Archbishop Feehan.
The choice of both conferences for
the place of dignior, or more worthy
nominee, IelI to the Most Rev. Peter
J. Muldoon, auxiliary bishop of Chi
cago, and administrator of. the arch

Feehan.
The third choice of the irremova-
BILE rectors and consulters for the
dignus, or the worthy candidate, was
the Most Rev. James f. Quigley, bish-
OPP of Buffalo, and one of the three
men whose names are before the vat
lean as candidates for the see made
vacant by the death of the late
Archbishop Corrigan, of New York.
The Candidates.
1t was reported, however, last ev-
ening that this choice had not been
concurred in by the suffragan bish
ops at their conference, and that an
other name was given the third place
on the list prepared by them, thus
making a total of four candidates
who will be recommended to Rome.
Report had it that Bishop Ryan, of
Alton, was the selection made by the
bishops instead of Bishop Quigley.
The list prepared by the priests and
the one prepared by the bishops will
be sent at once to Rome by Bishop
Spalding, together with information
concerning each man selected along
the lines provided for in the canon
law. This information includes
statements as to the education, char
acteristics, successful administration,
personal qualifications, and general
and special fitness of the candidate
for elevation to the rank of arch
bishop and to the head of this arch
diocese.

President Sexton is to be congratu-
lated upon getting rid of Clown Col
Inns, who was let go yesterday. Since
he left Rock Island the local fans
have been in dire apprehension that
he would be sent back at some future
time. Gragg succeeded him at Cedar
Rapids yesterday. From the per-
Torrance of the latter here the gen
eral verdict is that he is little bet
ter than Collins, but not much. The
fact that Walters forfeited the game
yesterday rather than put up with
one of his decisions leads to the con-
clusion that he is doing no better at
Cedar Rapids than he did here.

Rock Island has two new players on
the list, shortstop and a pitcher.
The former is reputed to be what we
have been looking for these three
weeks past and the latter is known
to be all right. Last night f. j. Nc
Nichols, who has been playing short
with Salt Lake City, arrived in the
city. Cy Terrence, who was recently
released by Evansville, came to-
day. McNichols comes with a rep
utation as a hitter as well as a field
err. and he wnl be put to work at once,
Graham going back to the outfield.
Terrence was not released by Evans
vile because he could not pitch, but
because of the disruption of the team
due more To knocking and differences
in the management than to any other
reason. One of the present pitchers
of the Rock Island staff will be re-
leased.
Yesterdays Game.
So far as has been learned nobody
required Il nerve tonic as the result
of the excitement incident to wit
Messing yesterdays game of ball. 1t
was for the most part cOlorless and
about as warm as though it had been
left over night in the open air. 1t
wasn't satisfying. albeit there was a
pleasant expression on the score
board after it was over.
For the sort of game it was the
score of to 1 is ridiculous. 1t was
little short of miraculous that neither
side Avas able to pile up one or two
more, for the opportunities were
present in abundance. Rock Islands
best prospects were cut off by TAX
ing long chances on bases and De-
catur's by being unable to hit at
critical times.
Although the locals got but five
hits to eight for the visitors the
former made enough long hits to
bring the number of bases earned
with the stick equal. Milton was
Pitted against Smiling Pete" Daniels
and had the long end of it, striking
out nine men and giving two passes
while Pete struck. out two and gave
one base. Both teams fielded with
about equal effectiveness, and there
were few sensational features.
Umpire Brennan made his bow and
was pronounced good. He has the
reputation of being the best there is
in the Three-I league and he did
nothing to spoil it yesterday. There
was but once when the crowd raised
a howl on balls and strikes, which
may fairly be considered "a remark
able showing.
All the runs were made in one in
ming. For Rock Island Conwell led
the chase with a hit for two sacks
and Milton got neat sacrifice.
Kohley Miller handed one out to
Dickey in left that the angular gar
dener was unable to negotiate and
his trunk was checked to third.
Donnelly lit in the hands of Thorn
ton, who achieved the remarkable
record for an outfielder of seven put
outs, and Miller beat the ball by a
scratch. Graham got a hit which
counted him nothing, for Wright
scared to center.
