WHAT KILLED FLANAGAN?
st. Paul Coroner's Jury Is Puzzled
by Complicated Case.

John F.. Flanagan, a bartender, who
died at the st. Paul city hospital last
Saturday, had two broken ribs and
badly bruised side when brought to the
hospital, and the coroner's jury is I'M,
decided as to whether or not the injur

DR.. J. F. Murphy, assistant city ply
stefan, and DR.. Robert Morrill,, house
physician, testified that Flanagan was
a victim of chronic alcoholism, paralysis
Of the heart having been caused by
pneumonia and delerium tremens. Dr..
T. j. Maloney said the broken ribs had
caused pleurisy, which fastened death.

HER DEBUT AN ACCIDENT
Miss Carson Wandered Out on the
Stage Thru a Mistake. 1885,

Marion Carson, the 19-year-old Miss
whose powerful and pure soprano will
be heard for the first time in this city
at the Orpheum this week, made her
first appearance in public in most
peculiar way and under distinguished
espionage. 49,.
1t was three years ago, when the Bos-
tionians were nearing the close OF their
career in Boston, that Miss Carson met
the late Jessie, Bartlett Davis, and the
famous contralto took a great fancy
to the sweet-faced girl. Marion had al
ways wanted to 20 on the stage, but
stage fright had stood in her way. Sew
eral times she had gone so far as to
secure engagements. only to give them
up when rehearsals came.
The friendship between Marion and
Miss Davis became firm and Marion
often visited the operate star in her
dressing room. One evening she went
behind the scenes, as usual. and when
the call came for Miss Davis to go on
the stage she pointed out a certain
short cut by which Miss Carson could
get back to her box. In the confusion
of the moment the young girl lost her
way, and suddenly found herself ON
the stage and in the full glare Of the
footights and before the crowded
house.
Fortunately, the action OF the piece
caused the chorus to rush over to where
she was standing, and Miss Davis, com
| ing on at the same moment and seeing
| the predicament, placed her where she
would not be noticed-and Miss Gar
son $ stage debut was made. She found
that the audience was not such a terri
BILE thing after all and since that time
has been almost constantly before the
public, where her pretty stage presence
and her magnifc entity developed voice
| almost invariably win her audience.

them and many were carried to the

climbed down the fire escapes, while
