LIBEL LAW OF AUSTRALIA. Inha bitants Who Have Little Pride of Ancestry Are Amply
 Protected.

The libel law Of Australia is the queerest in the world. He who is sued for libel there must not only prove that the accusations he pub lished were true, but also that to pub fish them was for the public beenfit Elsewhere the truth of the accusation alone needs to be proved.
 An Australian sheep raiser explained this queer libel law at wool sale.
 Australia was practically colonized by convicts," he said. There is no denying this. The colonizers of Aus tralia were convicts in the main.
 "The descendants of these convicts are now Australians leading families, the richest. the most influential, the most intelligent, the most respected. And yet these excellent people were III the past at the mercy of every editor. Let them get into the smallest squab- ble or dispute with some editor, and the man would bring them into gen. eral ridicule and contempt by print AhS ehSh oh'cstiyp " Sho"iu6 tudt Sir Jonn Smiths great-grandfather had been sent out for robbing an old woman of seven dollars, or that Judge Browns greataunt, while employed as a servant girl, had tried to poison her masters son, with whom she was in love.
 Tt is undeniably true that the best have convict blood in their veins. The newspapers that they quar- reled with used 70 taunt them with their convict blood. Hence the pres- ent queer libel law, which protects them, for of course 1t can never be for the good of the public that the of Judge So-and-So or the great-uncle of Dr. Blank was 8

THE COWBOY AND THE LADY,"

THE COW BUY AND THE LADY. The scenes of "The Cowboy and
 the Lady, which the Poli stock com pany presents at the Jacques next
 week are laid in the cattle .coun-
 try of Colorado and the incidents
 happen in the little town of Silver
 vile. The story has to do with one
 Teddy North, a young eastern man
 who has gone into cattle raising and
 made a success of 1t for all he is
 held to be a dude bowman On
 a neighboring section comes James
 Weston and his wife with party
 of New Workers. Weston is a scoundrel who has in addition to a
 speaking acquaintance with the sev- en deadly sins an inclination to chase
 after every woman he sees. Young
 North falls in love with Mrs Weston
 and over an insult to his adopted sister Midge quarrels with Weston,
 who has been making love to the
 belle of the dance hall district much
 to the jealousy of the lady's half
 breed lover. He persuades her tC
 elope and as the guilty pair are about to escape the half breed kills his rival. North thinks Mrs Weston has committed the crime because he finds her beside the body in the dark ness and she thinks he is guilty. North to save the woman he loves takes the responsibility and is ar- rested. After an exciting court room session he is about to be sen- fenced when the half breeds girl rushes onto the scene, tells the truth and is shot by the murderer, who is Immediately lynched-out- side Everything ends happily in the uniting of the lovers. Richard Cor don will be Teddy North, Helene Warde the woman he loves, Jack Kennedy the half breed, Jere San- ford the william Weston, and Jane Tree new and capable actress the dance hall girl. Daniel Lawlor has a splendid part in the cowboy lover of Midge for which Louise Le Blanc is aptly cast. Edith Crolius will have her first real innings this sea- son as the piano player of the Sil- ville dance hall and the role is a capital one.

TERRIER LIVED THROUGH FIRE.
Imprisoned for Days in Wine Cellar
 of San Francisco Hotel.

During the early hours of the morning of April 19, while the flames were licking up everything in- fiammable within the walls of the Hotel St Francis little fox terrier remained locked up in the wine eel lar of the hotel, deserted and forgot ten by the attaches of the hotel when they were forced at midnight to abandon the doomed structure. When the beautiful and costly build ing on Union square became black ened ruin and the confiagration was fighting its way toward the western addition, the little fox terrier still lived, unharmed, though terror stricken from the tortures to which 1t must have been subjected.
 But with the dying out of the flames that consumed everything within the four walls of the build ing, save the little fox terrier, the dogs troubles were by no means at an end. James Hall, who had charge of the wine cellar, was the owner of the little animal, and he remembered while the hotel was still a seething furnace. that the dog was locked in the cellar.
 Though powerless to rescue it, he lost no time in getting back to the hotel after the fire to discover the dogs fate. But he could not get near the wine cellar. For days af- terward the ruins were so hot that all thought of probing about the ruins was out of the question. Five days later Hall succeeded in getting into the wine cellar, and one of the first things to greet his startled gaze was the little fox terrier crouched beneath some machinerq The heat in the wine cellar must have been intense, but the little animal had managed to escape the flames and came out of the ordeal unsinged, al- though nearly dead from thirst and hunger.
 With tender care Hall nursed the dog back to good health and spirits, and not many days after his rescue he was cheerful and lively as before the fire.-San Francisco Chronicle.

who performs some remarkable "four-high" somersaults; his two brothers, one of whom has a son who appears in the act, and sister and several brothers of Mme Florens. The Siegrist-Silbon troupe of aeri- alists comprises two families, who
 are related by marriage, and two young girls who are cousins of Toda Siegrist, the head of the family"
 Ella and Frederick Bradna are hus-
 band and wife. Both are riders of |cleverness. The Rooneys, the Amer ican principal riders, are MT and Mrs
 John Rooney, in private life. Fred
 Lodgett and Dallie Julian are also
 among the list of married folks
 Both were, tiguratively speaking,
 born in the circus, and met ard
 loved under the circus canvas. Josie
 Demott, the dainty little somersault equestrienne, is Mrs Charles Robin son.
 There are in fact, very few women
 with the big show who are not either
 married or in companies with mem-
 bers of their own families. The Meers sisters are members of the famous English Meers family, that has been successfully associated with the circus arena for generations. One of the sisters is the wife of Danny Ryan, the popular clown. Isabella Butler, who turns somersault in an automobile, is Mrs Tom Butler to her friends. In the troupe of Imperial Aerial Wrestling Girls three families are represented; Lee Rowalandes, the French company of equestrian acrobats who perform on horseback and in tally-ho coach, comprises three married couples, all of whom are connected by marriage or other the Ray Thompson troupe of menage riders includes clever horsemen and horsewomen of two families; the Vorlops Troupe of dancers comprise eight clever people all of whom are related; the same Is true of the Biseras, whose cleverness is exhibited in an expert musical and posturing number.
 These glimpses of the "reaP men 1 and women of the circus might be extended without limit. Those that l have been given will serve to give | an added interest and charm to the | side of the big show when | It exhibits in Waterbury next Tues day, June 12.

Barnum X Bailey.

Are they really sisters?" This is the unbidden query that rises in the minds of nine-tenths of those who witness the performances of the acrobats in the Barnum & Bailey circus.
 There are few instances in which these queries, truthfully answered
 would not reveal some interesting and curious facts. The Grunatho Sisters, for instance. are not all sis ters. They are, however, all blood relatives. To one who knows, the relationship may be readily observed in their clever acrobatic pyramid work. In the trio who form the pedestal for the four young women in the air, the sister on the extreme left is in reality the mother of the two girls beside her and the child at the top of the pyramid. The three girls in the center are Mime Gruantho's nieces. The husband of Mme Cru natho, who is also associated with the big show. is ring master.
 The Huettermann Sisters, whose performances with high school horses are also notably clever, are sisters" for professional reasons only. They have won considerable fame in El. rope. not only because of their clever riding, but also by reason of their dainty and attractive costuming One of the sisters" is in private life Mime Caesar Guillietti. She is the daughter of Gustav Huettermann. who, during his long career, has taught equestrianism in nearly every royal court in Europe.
 In the Florens family of acrobats there are several families or parts of M. Florens is the leader of the troupe. He is assisted by his wife, their son, Alfredo, little chap
