Richard ManshoId's Leading Woman
Quits as Result.

Cleveland, Ohio. jan 24.-Miss Emma
Dunn, leading woman for Richard Mans
field, so greatly objected to the blow which
Mr. Mansfield is compelled 10 strike her
in his role of Peer Gynt that she has re-
signed her place. and has been succeeded
by Miss Clara Osmond.
Peer Gynt to hush the seedlings of Ase,
picks her up, throws her TO one side, and
administers a sounding whack between
her shoulders. Miss Dunn insisted on a
change of the place on her spinal column
where Mansfield landed. She even con-
suited physician, who told her that her
illness was due to the shock to her nerv-
Gus system resulting from the blow
which she received nightly
Mr.. Mansfield declared that the spot
chosen by him was one that would not
shock her nervous system, and that the
manner in which he picked her up and
threw her about is precisely the way
mothers toss their infants or nurses

HIGGINS SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Expected Relapse, After Unlocked
for Gain, Does Not Occur.

Clean, N y, Jan. 4.-The relapse
looked for to-day in the condition of Gov.
Higgins, following the gain in his condi-
ton last night, did not take place, and all
through the day he held right there. The
gain was in heart action with but half
the stimulants, and il has been main
tanned. DR.. Hibbard said that the story
OF his taking solid food was unfounded,
liquid nouriShmeHt alone being given, and
the appetite not being at all strong. The
doctor gave out the following infOTma-
ton at 1880 o'clock, after his last call
for the night;
THE governor has lost nothing In TWEEN
ty-f1uT hours. He has taken about The
same nourishment. and While he greets
me with a clear mind every time I en-
ter il soon clouds He has made a
small gain, if any. About half the slim
ulauts are required TO keep his heart &C
ton right. and that is the best that can
be said"

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan A-The re-
sentiment against Gov. Swettenham con-
tinues here and the local relief committee
is now absolutely ignoring him in its
measures, and is going ahead to do all
it can to restore the confidence Of the
people and TO relieve the distress. It
has established three food depots at
various sections Of the city. and has
a fair supply on hand in each of them
According TO Archbishop Nuttall, 10000
people are absolutely dependent upon
charity. and he is very severe in his
structures of the governors attitude to-
ward outside relief
The sewerage system of the city has been
destroyed, being broken in dozens of
places and the result must inevitably be
pestilence, unless extreme measures are
taken
Several fires have broken out during
the past three days, bCt all have been
extinguished by raZing buildings and by
the aid Of volunteers who carried water
IN buckets for several blocks.
Nineteen lunatcs escaped from the asy-
lum to-day and have not yet been To-
Gated.
