A DRAMATIC TREAT.

The fine play Francesca Da Rimini'' was very ably presented at the Hyper ion last evening by Otis Skinner and company. MT, Skinners work as Lan- ciotto was that of the painstaking, con- scientious and true artist, and he ad- mirably filled his difficult role, to the great satisfaction of his audience, who enthusiastically called him before the curtain at the end of the third act His fine dramatic powers were put to the test and he easily bore off the lions share of the honors. Of his support Bouccicault as Paolo, Miss Van Dressler as Francesca, and Norns as the jester were particularly successful and won hearty applause. The tragedy was richly dressed and handsomely mounted throughout.

PETER DOUGLASS. ;
The Story of the Origin of an Army
 Term Meaning a Dead Man.

The Story of the Origin of an Army
 Term Meaning Dead Man.
 "In garrison life Peter Douglass
 means a dead man-that is, officially
 not really dead'' observed an army off.
 cer It had it's origin at Fort Monroe { l quarter of a century or more ago
 though there are a number of officers
 who knew the original Pete and quite 6 number more who knew the facts in re. gard to his case.
 "One of the leading officers of the ar tillery service day, then a lieutenant was sent from Governors Island, in New York llarbor, to Fort Monroe with 1 q detachment of nineteen soldiers. | They came down by sea, and the first | night out the soldiers got on to a bar rel of fine whiskey which was in the hold, and by the aid of gimlet and some straws the most of the nineteen men were in a very hilarious condition before midnight. On the second night out some of them tackled the barrel again and in short time they were again intoxicated. Among the number was Peter Douglas. When the time came for them to land at Fort Monroe Peter Douglass could not be found It was generally thought he had fallen overboard. Anyhow, the lieutenant turned over but eighteen men. He re- ported Peter Douglass as having been drowned, and the record was made ac- cordngly Three days afterward, when the ship that brought the party down was unloading some freight at Charles ton, s. C., Peter Douglass crawled out of the hold looking somewhat the worse for his experience. After bracing up he managed to work his way up to Fort Monroe, where he supposed he would join his company, but on presenting himself to the officer in command there he was told that as the record there had shown that Peter Douglass had been drowned, they were required to consider him dead even If he was not dead.
 Douglass admitted that he was pret- ty nearly dead, but that he rad man. aged to pull through. Anyhow, he was not admitted to the quarters at the gar rison. and was told that he had better move along; that he was out of the army as surely as he had ever been in it.
 But Peter did not go far away. That evening he met some of his com rades. three in number, from Governors Island, and they celebrated his coming to life in true coldlerly manner. The celebration wound up in the guard house there, as did the celebrators. The record of the guardhouse showed that, though Peter Douglass had been dead few days before, he was

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1902-02-08

Fear of burglars is believed to have
cost Mrs. Amelia Ericsson her life in Chi
cago. She was burned to death in her
home in a fire caused by the explosion of
a gasoline stove. Her cries for help were
heard by members of family i'll the
same building, but they were unable to
be of assistance because all the doors
leading into the apartments occupied by
Mrs. Ericsson were locked. BY the time
the police and the fire department arriv-
ed and broke down the doors Mrs. Eric"
son was dead. Mrs. Ericsson had been
left alone in her flat for some time dur
ing the days, and recently she had eX-
pressed fears of being a victim of burg
lars. Usually she kept the doors of her
apartments securely locked. Just how
the explosion occurred which caused the
woman's death is not known. 1t is be
lieved that she was attempting to light
burner of the stove when it exploded,
and her clothing was covered with burn
inc oil
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1902-02-08

1t was agreed in the House on We'd
neSday that the olpomargarnc bill should
come to Il vote after two days more of
debate. Representative Boutcll of Chi
cago delivered the speech that attracted
most attention in Wednesdays debate.
He based his opposition to the bill on
alleged discrimination. There is no eX-
cuse, in his Judgment, for discriminating
between different brands Of the same pro-
duct. 1t is, conceded ON all sides that
there is no fraud in the manufacture of
oleo, Mr.. Boutel explained. The only
fraud charged is in its retail. when in
some instances dishonest dealers sell it
for butter. The pending bill, he assert
ed, would not prevent these frauds. Rep
resentatiye Crowley OF Illinois furnished
the House considerable amusement in dis
cussing the bill. He announced cmphat-
ically that he would not permit himself
to be read out Of the Democratic party
because he supports the bill, aud made
an earnest appeal for the wife Of the
poor farmer churning butter who. he in
sisted, should be protected against the
product of the oleo manufacturers. Other
speakers were McSsrs. kluttz On. CO.,
McCrcary (AIinn.) and Eddy (Minn) for,
and MessrS Allen OKy). Scott OkanO
and Moon Crenn.) against the bill.
Throughout the days session the Senate
had under consideration the urgent de-
ticiency appropriation bill, and just be-
fore adjournment passed it substantially
in the shape i'll which it was reported to
the Senate by the committee. During
the early part of the session the case of
Judge Arthur II. NoyeS of the District
Court of Alaska aud Alexander McKen-
ze and others was discussed
