DUBLIN PRESS ASSAILS SAPHo
olga NethersOIe ThTe1tens Libel Suits,
hat NezIects to Bring
Them.

Copyright. 1902. by Press Publishing Coz
DUBLIN, Oct. 1s-(New York World Ca
blegram-SpeciaI Telegram.)-The protest
against Olga Nethersole's impersonation OF
sapho has found an echo in the Dublin press.
The Freeman's Journal advises all decent
minded people to remain ava from the
heater while that drama Is being played.
The Independent characterized the play as
unclean and declared that anyone who goes
to see It is guilty OF improperly and is
encouraging a demoralizing production.
Olga retorted by demanding the with
drawal Of these diversions upon her artistic
reputation under threat Of libel suits. Both
papers r~eIoined by giving to her the names
and addresses OF their lawyers, who would
accept service Of writs. But Olga went no
further for a legal remedy.
"sapho" has been drawing crowded
audiences. largely composed Of young men,
students greatly preponderating.
The action OF the Dublin newspapers was
stimulated by a recent speech Of Archbishop
Walsh. who complained Of the immoral and
degrading tendencies OF certain problem
plays presented in Dublin. and said that
the editors had failed in their duty to the
public in tOlerating them.

HENRY PETERSON GOES FREE
State Fails to Connect Him with the Fire in
His Brothers Store.
JUDGE TAKES THE CASE AWAY FROM Jury
witnesses Depended ULOn by n state
"CouId Not Remember when
Questioned on Import
ant Points,

The trial OF Henry Peterson, charged
with arson In connection with the burning
Of the store Of his brother, Petrus Peter
son, in Weston, Ia, January 1'of this year,
came to a sudden termination in the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon, Judge
Macy taking the case away from the jury
and ordering a verdict returned in favor Of
the defendant.
The state failed to show that the de-
PENDANT had been seen near the scene OF
the FIRE within half an hour Of it's breaking
out, and Judge Macy intimated to the
prosecution that even II a verdict of guilty
should be returned by the jury he would
be compelled to set It aside unless the
state was able to produce more convincing
testimony. This the state realized 1t was
unable to do and after a consultation be-
tween the county attorney and the court
County Attorney Killpack moved to take
the case away from the jury. This action
was taken after the state had completed
its testimony, except as to the value OF
the building and stock destroyed. Several
OF the witnesses for the state upon whom
the prosecution principally relied failed to
give the testimony that had been expected
OF them. when placed on the witness
stand their memory evidently failed them,
us U ~ BAEdANA aAN - IN N~NNAN -
to them by County Attorney Killpack they
replied they could not remember"
It had been expected that the trial would
have lasted we'll on into the middle Of this
week, as the defense alone had subpoenaed
sixty witnesses. The witnesses for the de-
Tense had all been subpoenaed at the ex-
pense Of the state, so the trial will prove
an expensive one to Pottawattamie county.
The FIRE which started in the Peterson
store on the night Of January / last was
the most disastrous in the history OF the
town Of Weston. Not only was the Peter
son store and stock destroyed, but sew
eraI buildings, including the Odd Fellows
hall and the Quinn lumber yard adjoining
were consumed. The prosecution Of Henry
Peterson was at the instigatlon Of the In
surance companies, which held risks on
the building and stock Of Petrus Peterson
! to the amount Of $4,000. A fire occurred
In the same store a year previous. when
the insurance companies we're called upon
to make good the loss to a considerable
amount. On behalf Of Henry Peterson the
defense would have been that the fire. as
we'll as the previous one, were started by
parties who were antagonistic to the Peter
son family.
The only criminal case remaining on the
assignment for this term is that Of Attor-
ney Henry G. Wernimont. charged with en-
bezzlement, and his trial is set for Mon
day. It is doubtful, however, II the state
can secure the attendance Of M. Wolfsong,
! the prosecuting witness, who since the in
dictment was returned has left the state
and is now a resident of Nebraska.

BERNHARDT PLAYS TO ROYALTY
EntertRins Her Friends with Stories
of Princes and Princesses
in Green Room.

Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 1S.-(New
York World Cablegram.-special Tele-
gram.)-Sarah Bernhard has been enter
tanning her friends with a description Of
the primitive conditions under which she
had to play before the royalties now gath
cred under the king Of Denmark's roof at
Copenhagen. Not being able to find a
suitable dressing room in the theater, Bern
hardt says she had to use the green room
for that purpose. 1t happened that the
most direct way to gain access to the royal
box was through this green room, and the
king of Denmark, the queen of England,
the dowaser empress OF Russia, the queen
OF Greece, and other royalties, passed to
and fro while Bernhard was dressing,
partly concealed behind a screen. She re-
lates that the men looked straight ahead
Of them, but the women. and especially
the queen OF England, were very curious,
and fingered.
To reach the box the royalties had to
climb a stepladder, which the queens and
princesses did with much trepidation and
laughter.
II was proposed to Bernhard that the
royalties would go to their box by a cir
cuitous route across the stage, so they need
not disturb her, but she waived all OBJ
j~ections.
Bernhard has announced that she 10 a
strong admirer OF Ibsen. She considers

Dolls House. but circumstances were too
strong for me-" she said. THE realistic
tendency inspired by Ibsen does not at

health is much improved, but walking is

Perrines Comet (19o2) was OBJ
served at Abbeville on the evenings

comet is a hazy, woolly, looking OBJ
ject slightly oval, with a very short.
bushy tail. It has a star like nu-
cleus and was moving at the rate OF
about24 per cent in a day, at the
date OF observation. At the above
date it was in the constellation Of
Cygnus, a little north of the bright
star Denel, and nearly overhead at
8 p. m. and was headed for Lyra
and Ophipcus. It is visible to the
naked eye, if n knows when to look
for it but few would recognize it if
they saw it, as it has not the regula-
ton tail. In a good field glass it
should appear well defined. Iu
small. telescopes it appears well defn-
ed in the nucleus OF centre, but
gradually fades away to nothing at

from the fact that none know whence

Railroad Bridge Wrecked.

Morgan City, La, Oct. 6.--An
east bound through freight on the
Southern Pacific Railroad wrecked
five cars on the west end of the
bridge across Berwick Bay at 8
O'Clock last night. The accident
was caused from the rails Of the
drawbridge not, being in place as the
train approached, a lugger having
just passed through, and the keeper
not having time to close the draw
properly before the train came. One
hundred feet OF the draw span is in
the bay, with five loaded freight
cars. The engine did not go over
board, and osone was hurt.
News of the wreck reached here
Monday morning and the report
stated that the engineer and fireman
were killed also. a couple. Of tramps.
1t was past Z o'clock when the west
bound train got in that night. Tues
day night it was worse still, being
after 10 o'clock at night before the
train got here. The mails were not
distributed Till next morning, so this
accident practically put US two or
three hundred miles further from
New Orleans.
