arhe Eleventh Hour.n

"The Eleventh Hour" is one Of Lin.
coin ]. Carter's best productions and
the cast that will be seen at the Grand
Opera House tonight is considered the
best that has ever played the piece.
1t is melodrama rich in strong and
thrilling situations that arouse the
sympathy of the audience at the very
beginning. The scenery is most elabo.
rate and magnificent, the scene of the
old mill in the background being very
pretty and effective.
The play relates the story Of love,
honesty and virtue but told in an In
teresting and consistent manner. The
telling Of same is done with mixture
Of mirth, song and dance that affords
a breathing spell between the intense
and sensational situations.

consideration.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-There was
gloom in Bellevue Hospital Sunday
night, for little Smoke, the water
spaniel that has done duty at the
gate for the last four years, was
crushed under the wheels of an ambu.
lance while saving child from being
run over, and was SO badly injured
that the doctors had to chloroform
him to end his suiferings.
An ambulance driven by "Jack''
Russell came speeding through TWEEN.
ty.slxth street with dying patient.
Smoke heard the changing Of the bell
when the ambulance was as far away
as Second avenue, and, as has been
his custom since he became the un,
official gatekeper, he darted out Of
the gate house to meet the ambulance
and warn Frank Nugent, the gate.
keeper to swing open the gates. Rus,
sell was lashing the horse. which was
galloplng at top speed, while Dr.. Hunt
hung on to the rear seat as the am,
bulance swayed to and fro,
Just as the ambulance crossed First
avenue little girl came out through
the gate and walked right into the
center of the street. Russell saw the
child and pulled with might and main
on the lines to check the horse but
1t was going at such a rate that 1t was
impossible for him to draw up.
When the ambulance was within
fifteen feet of the child Smoke darted
into the street and made lunge for
the girl. The little one fell to the pave,
ment and rolled out Of the way Of
the speeding ambulance, but before
Smoke could escape the wheels pass,
ed over him, breaking his back. Per.
mission will be asked to have Smoke
buried in the grounds Of the hospital.

Glotto was a famous painter, sculp

Of the grcat master, Clmabue, having
been attracted to the boy by a draw

rapidly throughout southern Europe.
In those days 1t was customary for
the popes to send for the noted men
of their realm, more for the purpose Of
gratifying their desires to see such
celebrities than anything else Glotto
was no exception to the rule. No
sooner had the young Tuscan become
famous than Pope BonIface VIII. In

Gfotto arrived at the gates Of the
pope's private grounds, according to
the account, the guard halted him and
inquired concerning his mission.

Almost everybody who reads the re-
pers remembers that Just before
Christmas Speaker Cannon received a
present from an old lady in South
Carolina of a roll OF cloth Of homespln
Jean out Of which to make a suit OF
clothes. The papers also announced
that when Congress met afte. the holi.
days uncle joe appeared in the
House in a new suit of clothes. or
Friday "Uncle Joe" received another
present, and this time, like the first,
it came from South Carolina, and Goa.
sisted of a pair Of hand-knit. horce'
made "galluses." Like the gift Of the
homespun cloth, the suspenders came
through Representative Aiken, Of
South Carolina, and the gender express
ed the thought that as the Speaker was
wearing suit Of homespun jeans it
was proper that the trousers should
to be held up by pair of old.fashioned
galluses. The susNeHders are made of
white yarn, closely and care silly knit,
in two separate pieces, with double
buttonholes, for 1t is expected they will
stretch. The Speaker was delighted
with the gift and remarked that they
were "just the kind father used 10
wear. It's the kind worn by tie one
gallus brigade Of which old Go'.rror
oglesby used to tell.
The Speaker is now wearing them
regularly.

The rule Of the President and Of the
Postmaster General providing that no
presidential postmaster shall be re-
moved from office without good cause
has caused some very curious situa.
tons to arise in the various congress.
sional districts throughout the country.
Not long ago the eight-year term of
the postmaster at Rock Island, ILL.,, ex-
pired, but Representative Mckinney in
whose district is the town Of Rock
Island, took no notice VI the matter,
assuming, of course, that the present
postmaster, who had good recoru.
would be reappointed. Accordingly ne
fled no recommendation with the de-
partment for successor. Representa-
tive Graff, however, who lives in an ad.
joining district, has some very strong
friends in Rock Island, and las recon-
mended one of these gentlemen to the
consideration of Postmaster General
Cortelyou. While there has been no
change in the Office up to date, Mr..
Graf has brought good deal of pres.
sure to bear upon the department, and
his mans name is being given careful
consideration
