His Debut in This country-Misse
Museum Engagement
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-Confined with
In small enclosure on the boatdeck
of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
there will sail today for Germany a
remarkable little passenger who,
though he arrived here week ago. has
hot been permitted to set one of his
three feet on American soil Peter is
bnly a calf, and not a whole calf at
that, for he lacks one leg. He had the
misfortune to be born in Germany,
where wise doctors say American cat
tie should be prohibited from entering
the kaiser's dominions. Peters de-
lention was due to a telegram from the
department of agriculture forbiddng
him to land.
Peter was born Just twenty-th three
weeks ago on a small farm near Il lit
tie town in Wurtemburg. His mother,
Gretel furnished the milk from the
bale of which her owner, a poor widow,
derived most of her income. When
Peter came into the world with only
three legs the widow took more than
ordinary interest in the helpless Great
ure and brought him up on a bottle. -
The calf'S fame travelled from viii
Iage to village until he became an OBJ
lect of general interest. julius Fladd
resident of Burlington, Iowa, was
travelling with two friends in his native
town last month, when he heard of the
animal.
The three men went to see Peter and
with the idea of exhibiting him over
here or selling him to a museum, they
bought him.
Peter made the voyage comfortably,
but on his arrival Dr. Pope, govern
ment physician in charge of the ami
NAL quarantine station declined to is
sue a permit for Peter TO go ashore
without authority from the agricul-
lural department. This was refused.

the popular comedienne who is play
ing an engagement at the Alhambra
in THE Girl and the Bandit" had to
charter special train i'm Chicago Tues
day to fulfill a matinee engagement
W this city, and 1t all came about
through her failure to recognize the
fact that Tuesday is the regular matt
nee day i'm the Milwaukee theater.
Miss IIite had gone to Chicago to
visit her mother, leaving on the early
morning train Tuesday. While there
she went to the telephone, called up
her dressmaker in relation to an ap-
pointment sne had with her, when the
mother broke in upon her:
why, Mabel, you changed that az
pontment to Wednesday by long dis
tance telephone, saying that you had to
play at "A matinee Tuesday"
"Matineel Tuesday," exclaimed the
actress, the color leaving her cheeks.
The telephone connection was hur-
riedly shifted to the railway ticket
office and the information obtained
that the only way to reach Milwau-
kee in time for the matinee would be
TO charter q train, and an engine and
coach were soon speeding over the
