THEY WERE TALKING
ABOUT EFFECT OF STORM
Experience Which an Actor
Had Detailed to Crowd of
Attentive Listeners.

| There was bunch at the Kenyon
last night swapping storm experiences
when Tim Mcmahon. whose Minstrel
Maids and Watermelon Girls are the
| hcadliner at the Orpheum this week,
contributed with Zone of the worst
experiences ever had. -
1t happened TO me, he said,
''whilc L was playing with one of the
big minstrel troupes IN Chicago. [
received a request followed by a per-
sonal visit from a representative of
the Chicago Orphan asylum asking
me II | would be SO kind as to appear
at benefit performance TO be given
In one of the halls in a West Side
building for the society. Though rush
ed with work and tired with daily ma
tinecs, l consented, All the informa-
tion | got was To be on hand at cer-
tain building at 10 clock.
'tThc night of the benefit / rushed
through and Immediately after the first
of the minstrel show | rushed into the
street and caught cab. 1t WAS tight
race, but we arrived at the building
with three minutes TO spare. Without
waiting to ask any questions, j told
the cabby to wait and rushed upstairs.
On the second floor through an open
door / saw a large audience silently
sitting, seemingly waiting for some
one. / figured that l. was the guy
they were waiting for, so / ducked
down the hall, found side door and
the next minute | was on the platform.
/" Almost breatbless and bathed in
perspiration, l bowed to the audience
and was received with great demonstra-
tion. / felt that my audience had for
given my tardiness and that my com
ing had been awaited, so l gave them
n good gag by way of starter. !
gave them three good ones, but still
the audience sat without cracking a
smile. Then ] got mad and made a
laugh or perish In the attempt. I
fred every joke that I could think of
at them, but aside from the suppressed
mrth of an attendant, / could not
bulge that crowd, 1t was awful I
worked hard, and in despair l worked
off the best gag In my repertoire, and
the joke was received as though it
were a death warrant.
mot caring to further tempt fate,
and feeling that there was mistake
l bowed and backed off |
the stage. I wanted to punch the head
of the fellow who gave me the laugh |
when I came off,
g Say I said to him, what S the |
matter with these folks out there; are |
they dead? This is fine way to treat |
a man here at the request of the Or
Dhan asylum. / came out here, pay
ing my own cab fare and rushing my
self into a dangerous cold, and then
they treat me as though / were an un
lcrtaker'
Why remarked the fellow, grin
ming, there s nothing the matter with |
hem. They're the Scandinavian Bible
society IN session, and they can t un-
lerstand English. The people you are
looking for are In the hall below. -

may appear, however. there has never

Scotland Yard school Of crime experts
who visited America without making

His methods have seemed crude, his
processes have been glar;ngly primitive

CHARLES L. DUBOIS.
Snntaquin, Oct. FL, 1906.
This letter would indicate that Alex
ander and William McWhirter are de-
tectives of the Scotland Yard, London,
organization. 1t might also Indicate
that the ''Job' had been concocted at
the English mission OF the hierarchy, the
president of which mission, Heber j.
Grant, is a fugitive from justice.
1T is stated that the McWhirter
brothers Travelled TO America on the
same steamer that carried the famous
prophet, seer aud revelator, Joseph f..
Smith, to his native shores, and 1t is
possible that they came at the instance
Of the hierarch and in his employ.
Just how the original job may have
been framed up between the hierarch
and Apostle Grant and his tools, Alex
snder and William, can not be stated
with positiveness AT this time, but
appearances indicate that it was car
ried out in close accord with the pro-
gramEle rs laid down by instructions
30 the menials who do the bidding of
the hand OF 26.
The main purpose, OF course, was to
discredit the American party. The
plan devised to accomplish this pur-
pose was TO besmirch some prominent
member of that political organization.
George Sheets was selected for the |
target, and the operations of the Nc
Whirters would indicate that they were
carrying out the instructions of their
employer IN some such scheme as above
outlined and show how carefully the
whole thing was planned and how cold
bloodedly 1t was executed

wears in the Confederate army. during
with President Davis and formed an
intimate acquaintance with him. He
asserted however. that he had never
seen Mrs. Davis. but as the wife can
often be Judged by the character Of
her husband, he knew that Mrs. Davis
was "A good and devoted woman. Her
age. he said. was q standing testimony
OF the purity Of her life.

tian or a man who was more sincere in
his convictions than Jefferson Davis,
and mere devoted TO the cause which he
espou H. Mr.. Newhn briefly reviewed

TO acquire the best education that the
country afforded nt that time. He also

conclusion Of hostilitlcs, and while act
ing as his emanuensis in writing HThe

life OF Jefferson Davis and closed with
an eloquent and touching appeal for
greater harmony between the North and
South, saying in part;
~ am proud of my Southern home,
and proud of the fact that | lived in a
country for which 1 was privileged to
shoulder arms. While I venerate the
Stars and Stripes. I still venerate tho
flag Of the Confederacy, but | wish that
the bitterness that was engendered by
the struggle had passed away at the
conclusion of the war and that the sol
diers Of both armies might meet with
a hearty handshake and be reunited III
brotherly love-
Mrs. Kate B. Anderson, who presided
during the services, called on Rev. DR..

lief that the civil war had been made

INJURED FIREMEN BETTER

First Examination Indicated.

Firemen Fred Gulbransen and Viii

injured by a falling tree while making
run to fire. on Saturday night. are
still at the Lewis hospital and will re-

is doing as well as could reasonably be
expected
In the case of Mr.. Gulbransen,
broken rib, the jagged edges of which
are supposed to be penetrating into the
lung cavity, is causing him much dis
tress, and it is now thought that it
will be necessary to perform an opera
tion to relieve him. This course. how
ever, has not yet been decided upon.
