Actor McconnelI,s Wit.


The late William Mcconnell was
one of the greatest Theatrical jokers
of his time.
Augustus Thomas wrote a part for
Mcconnell in the short lived Cham
payne Charley" He had not been on
the stage for years, and it was thought
that his characteristic humor might
be amusing in the theater.
That assumption proved incorrect,
and Mcconnell retired from the show

cant. coffin and the Whale.

The following story is told of Capt.
Coffin OF Nantucket, who was cruis-
ing for sperm whales in the Pacific
ocean: A school was sighted and the
boats we're lowered. and soon the cap
tains boat was fast" Usually when
whale is struck (harpooned) he
sounds or goes down. Then it is time
to look out and see where he is COM
ing up.
This particular whale came up I'M
der the boat, with jaws wide open,
crushing the boat and throwing out
the crew. The captain found himself
in the whales jaw, and, probably re-
calling Jonah, he wriggled out of his
unpleasant surroundings as quickly as
possible.
On relating his experience to some
friends after his return home, he was
asked:
Capt. Coffin what did you think
when you we're in the whales jaw?P
what did think? I thought he'd
make hundred barrels" was the
reply

Wanted to Hear the Music.

In the town OF Douglas, Mass, sew
eral years ago. an eccentric French
man kept a saloon. He was especial
ly fond of music. although nothing
else ever interrupted his studies OF
how to be meaner than any of his fell
low-men.
One summer night the village band
was giving a free concert near the sa-
loon, and those who came to hear the
music included many thirsty ones who
cared more for the sociability of the
saloon than for the music outside.
The saloon was filled, and all were
talking at once. and In high-pitched
voices, when the heavier voice OF
the saloon keeper called sudden

his undertaking hinged upon the two
parties not meeting and effecting con-
solldation until the treasury door was
reached, or as far as Lang was con
cerned not meeting at all while he
was in the hands of Hawks.
1t was an even chance of meeting
or not meeting. The larger mob was
nearer the treasury than Hawks, but
they were going slower, fighting and
destroying as they went; bowling,
jumping and generally frenzied. fir
ing their guns in the air as they APP
preached.
The leaders of the insurrection had
left plenty OF whisky in sight, and the
general store had been plundered just
before of all the drinkables obtainable.
The convicts, maddened by not hav-
ing their whisky regular had drunk
themselves almost beastly drunk.
Nearer the huge body Of drunken
sots came. A hundred yards only
separated the two quarreling factions.
The treasury building, which both par
ties seemed intent ON reaching and
plundering. lay Just between the two
tanks. The basement door, which
Louis desired to reach was few feet
nearer the main party than Hawks.
1t was like flying into the face OF
death to take the chance, but it was
Louis only hope.
A quick novel Lang drew his re-
volver with his left hand. and with
his right snatched the plate from un-
der the arm Of Hawks.
It seems that at this instant Louis
for the first time was recognized by
the mob. AS he. sprang toward the

had revolvers, the balance either had
knives or clubs. They did not march
in order, but struggling off in pairs,
were busy talking to one another. NO
one seemed to be noticing Lang but
rather engrossed with what was trans
piring in the center of the town, the
other side of the. treasury building
Hawks was nearest Lang and was
very fully armed, gun, revolver and
bowie knife, but he was handicapped
to certain extent with carrying I'M
der his right arm, and the one nearest
Lang, the front and back of the coun-
terfeit engraving plate. But Hawks
alone appeared to look upon Lang as
his prisoner.
Now and then could be heard the
crack of firearms. A blaze here and
there could be seen, where an ex-
ploded shell had burst and set fire to
whatever 1t had struck. The town
was full of babbling voices. Once in
while woman's screams could be
heard, accompanied with noise OF
shouts and oaths. Men were hurrying
to and fro, some pursuing and others
pursued. Hawks party was at pres
ent in the quietest part of town, but
they were rapidly approaching the tur-
bulent portion, because the fighting
party, destroying as they came, were
pushing on toward the treasury and
the kings house.
At the rate the two factions were
travelling, all sections would meet very
near the front of the treasury build
ing.
Louis mind was made up. He would
try to make his escape into the treas
ury. building Lang had made arrange
rents TO have one Of the lower doors
left open but guarded Unless his
friends should fail him, he could yet
get away from Hawks, and perhaps
carry the plates with him.
II was because this door had been
left open that Jack Regnn md Schiller

/ had been able to enter the treasury
vaults It>was because they had over
powered the sentinel that these two
had Jim Denver held at bay at the
point of revolver
But victors are sometimes careless.
Jack Regan, smart as he was to gain
entrance into the vault, had to leave
the doors open behind him, for fear
that he and Schiller might have to
make a quick return from there, and
the way was still clear. OF course
Lang did not Know this. To the de-
tective. then the matter of the door
being open or not was a case of life
or death, and he was forced to nerve
himself to the highest tension. He
did not wish to leave his unknown
friend to act alone and some plans had
to be quickly devised in order to
notify him of the intention of escap-
ing. A way presented itself
Hawks, where are you taking me?'
Lang demanded.

Then you really mean to give me
up?"
"Sure" Hawks responded coolly
He seemed to take delight in giving

He measured the chance he had for
his life and resolved to die game ii

meant to take the plate with him or

Louis was about to reply to Hawks,
when he felt someone cut his bonds.
He never turned to see who it was
that was befriending him, nor did he
make motion that would betray him

folded across his back in the same

rhe capture Of Jim Denver.


Louis Lang was laid low by blow
upon the head delivered by Bill
Hawks. No sooner had Hawks hit
Lang, than Sam Pearson, who had
liberated Lang by cutting his bonds,
disabled Hawks by shot from his re-
yolver. The two, Hawks and Lang,
fell far enough outside the door to
allow 1t to swing back and scarce
half minute had elapsed before the
door was bolted and made secure
against attack.
1t was just as Lang sprang at the
door of the vault, that Jack Regan
said: Throw up your hands, Jim Den
verl" The noise of Louis entrance
made Regan turn to see who was
Isback of him. and the interruption was
fatal to Regain, for Denver drew his
revolver and shot the traitorous de-
tective dead at his feet. the body of

blow received and very quickly re-
covered, in time to assist in plumber

While the mob from the outside
were attempting to enter the treasury,
the Denver gang managed to remove
the largest part of the gold and notes.
When they left the room the bridge
was destroyed and no evidence left
of there being any entrance from the
rear. Through the tunnel at con-
venient intervals we're placed bombs
