GRABBED BY THE VEST.

came Up 10 my husband and grabbed
him by the vest. Steinman and Maxim
were called, rushed in and separated
the Two men. Mr.. Bush went about his
: Business, but Myers returned and
again attacked him. Then my husband
called TO the corporal for protection.
The soldier ordered Myers off the
grounds and he turned to go. Then I
heard Myers swear at Steinman, as he
. walked toward him with one hand
raised. Three times Steinman told him
to halt ana then he fired. When he
went away he told the people TO look
after the man"
Bush, in his cross-examination, ad-
mjtted that he had seven or eight
drinks OF whisky the day of the shoot

that the liquor affected him. He ad-

POTTER'5 FIELD IS
CRAVE Of DUKE.
Friends Hear of Pauper
Burial Of Gerald 6.
McKellops in Ohio
VICTIM OF RATS

With his body little more than a
skeleton, under a scant covering of
torn rags, and his legs and trunk
gnawed and mutilated by rats which
had swarmed over him as he lay dying
ana helpless In a stable in Cincinnati.
Ohio, Gerald G. McKellops was found
last week, taken to a hospital, where
ne died, and was buried In the potters
Held. before his nearest friends and
relatives in San Francisco and Oakland
learned of his death
Scarcely able to articulate as he lay
on his deathbed in the hospital Nc
kellops gave to the attending physi-
clans the name of Mrs. John Stewart
of Oakland as his nearest friend Fol-
lowing his death she was at once tele-
graphed to for instructions as to the
disposition of the body, but before an
answer was received the body was in
TERED in the potter's field. A few
hours later the news of his death
reached Mrs. Alfred Bouvier of 3s7
Laurel street in this city, and a tele-
gram from her caused the body to be
exhumed with a consideration not given
1T at the burial and sent to ST. Louis
for burial at the family home.
INHERITANCE RUINS HIM.
Ten years ago McKellops graduated
from the University of Michigan, in
which his father is a professor of
chemistry, and became a dentist in Gin
cinnati, enjoying a splendid practice.
Four years later he inherited $4,000
from a relative and 1t was this in
heritance that shattered his brilliant
prospects, poisoned his life and led
ultimately to his miserable death Law
ish with his money, he drew around him
coterie OF evil companions, and gained
for himself through his prodigality the
sobriquet of Duke" Once started, the
money soon vanished and with it the
practice he had built up. Within a few
years the Duke" was a pauper. an out
cast and a slave to drugs.
Ten days ago the disfigured body of
a man was found by the Cincinnati
police in a West Water-street stable.
His hair hanging long in a tangled
mat. his cheeks followed with hunger,
dissipation and suffering and his cloth
ing falling in rags about him, told the
story of his last days.

Hornbill That Imprisons Mate.

FROM the Scientific American.
A remarkable mode of Incarceration is
practlced by the hornbills, birds with i'm
mense bills and horny crests, which inhabit
southern Asia, the Malayan Islands, and
central and southern Africa In most if
not all species the brooding female is
walled up in hollow tree and fed by her
mate.
She remains confined in her prison until
the eggs are Matched, and in some species
until the young birds are able to fly. Mean
While the mother has become temporarily
incapable of flight, as she has moulted, or
at least shed all her wing feathers during
her captivity But the male is indefati-
gable in providing for his family and is
said to work so hard that he is reduced
almost to a skeleton at the end of the
brooding season.
According to the theory of many natives
the female is imprisoned to prevent her
neglectfng her duty of broodng and if she
mas been unfaithful or negligent her mate
closes the little window of her cell and
abandons her to painful death by suffo-
cation. The true story, perhaps is this:
The female walls herself in so that she can
not fail from the nest alter losing her
feathers, and also to protect herself from
enemies. The building material is her own
excrement. This version is less poetical
than the other, but it is probably nearer
that the female liberates herself as soon
as the young birds are well grown, so that
her prison is less formidable than it ap-
pears.

1t has been said that no one dances at
the opera balls. The same thing was al
legged in the year 1925 when the multitude
was accused of crowding, drawdling and
mixing with light-hearted aimlessness; yet
there has always been a dancing section.
The Dancing Section.
This dancing section is another unique
curiosity of the masked balls. One hundred
and eighty years ago, when they discovered
that the paying public could not be de-
pended on to dance with regularity, this
extraordinary section of the balls came
into being.
To-day there are artisans and sewing girls
of the Host Louis and the Faubourg st.
Antoine whose parents, grandparents and
great grandparents, back five or six gem
erations, scarcely ever missed a masked
ball of the opera-on the free list They
are families who have been dead heads
throughout two centuries.
Their qualification is kind of hereditary
iveliness and special taste in wearing cos
tunes and inherited delight in this kind
of uproarious dancing amid the surround
ings of a great event-and masked. In par
ticular the dancing of the let-her-go quad
rifle comes to them as by nature.
In Paris it is known that there are
thousand such of each sex. The direction
of the opera has their names upon its lists.
1t could go back to the lists fifty years ago
and find the same names. And then fifty
years more back, and find them still.
Throughout the year they live dull, cor
rect lives as skilled workmen, polishers of
lenses, instrument makers, gold workers,
sewing girls. artificial flower makers, work.

One by one. or two by two, they stroll
some day to the direction of the opera.
Their errand is known-if not their faces

WHEN THE FROLIC BEGINS

Special Correspondence of The Star
PARIS, January H. 1906.
When the quadrille ceases in crash of
that gigantic orchestra; when from every
side come shrieks and squeals and bursts
of laughter rise above the deep hum of the
multitude, the tourist can say he has seen
and heard memorable speciality of Paris.
1t is the orchestra of the masked balls
of the Paris opera. The balls themselves
have a continuous annual existence since
the year 1715, but the orchestra, as spe-
cia1 cause of wonderment, owes its COM
position to the famous Musard, called the
king of the quadrille, in the dancing days
of the Louis-Philippe.
Musard put twenty-four violins on his
right and twenty-four violins on his left,
and on each side he sustained them by ten
altos and eight double BASES.
The brass instruments were represented
by fourteen comets, twelve trombones,
eight French horns, eight trumpets, ten big
BASES and eight alto-horns-with which he
obtained effects of sorority undreamed-of
then and probably nowhere heard today
outside of these masked balls.
The necessary reed instruments, kettle
drums, bass drums and other accessories
brought MusarG's orchestra up to near 200
pieces, and he mad the ingenuity to heighten
their climaXes by many an eccentricity-
such as letting fifteen wooden chairs fall
from the flies and break with a crash on

Musard is no more; and they have found
ways to increase its diabolical effects.
A Memorable Moment.
The grand operas Misunderstanding ma
chiEe-uniaue of it's kind, got up for
Wagnerian production-works at the right
moment: and really, when the great audi
torium darkens amid lightning flashes, there
is an excruciating moment as the giant
BASES growl in the Gods twilight. Then
chrps and trills and melody as sweet as
syrup usher in the dawn of ISht ana love
that terminates in the terrific galop.
1t is something to see and hear, even IL
you do not care for dancing. Only the
Parisians, grown blase by possession OF
thing so rare could let their unique opera
halls go down and languish as they did hVe
wears ago until the municipality actually

was so!emnly announced to the world that
the masked balls were over. That was
enough for the Parisians. At once they
longed for the masked balls again, and
when, last month, the director OF the opera
NJ Gailhard organized. without subvention,
the first ball of a new independent SERIES
its success was beyond all expectations.
Where else will you see such speclal
attraction as the grand entrance or the
ladies of the corps de ballet OF the farls
grand opera? -
The ballet of the Paris opera is still to-
day a great art institution. There are two
other such-at Milan and Vienna. All
else is Amazcnian drill. Here they recruit
little girls at seven years of age, who grow
,up ever learning, ever practicing, in great
artistic tradition. Cheap effects, such as
swaying in unison while the prima donna
sings a waltz song are not permitted on the
stage of the Grand Opera.
The Scene at Midnight.
1t is midnight. In a sudden hull the null
titude stands struck to silence 1t counts
the strokes Of the deep cathedral bell be-
hind the scenes-put in for a revival of
Robert the Devil and still unsurpassed
for shivery sorority, as it strikes the hour
when churchyards yawn.
Nine, ten!
The multitude has stepped back, leaving
a central promenade.
Eleven. twelve!
The orchestra bursts into a mighty mel
ody, the instruments in unison, linked
sweetness, long drawn out, with trillS and
chirps and fiutterings thrown round in airy
arabesques. Who are these queens ad-
vancing? There is mystery in their smile.
Their eyes are gracious. They balance on
their hips with dignity.
They are all there-the stars, the starry
armament, the milky way, the nebulae, the
star dust. The star dust Is tender ten
years of age, in white tights and white

triumphal turn around the auditorium
