ficials of the organization were each
fined 800 and given 80 days in each
of two cases all of which were ap-
pealed. Much amusement was oc-
casioned by the various witnesses,
their reluctance to testify and the
various subterfuges used to squirm
oout of their tight position.
In the trial of ]. H. Proctor, the
witnesses called who were officers in
the club refused to testify, under
statutory immunity, and were ex-
cused by the court. Other witnesses,
members and ex-members of the or
ganization took their cue therefrom,
and endeavored to escape giving testi-
mony, but their little game did not
go with his honor. Mr.. M. T. Shee-
han wished to decline testifying on
grounds that he might "exhonorate'
himself, but the court could not see
the especial danger of his doing this
as he was not now a member, and
insisted on Mr.. Sheehan's giving his
testimony. The witness still showed
reluctance, and Jail sentence
threatened by his honor was neces
sary to induce him to unbosom him
self. One of the colored gentlemen
desired to withhold his testimony, de
string neither to incriminate him
self nor anybody else" His honor ex
planned that they had him there t.
ircriminate anybody but himself, ant
as he was not on trial. there seemed
but little danger for-his testimony tt
incriminate himself.
DIR. L. w. Bayne testified that he

Moselle, Miss, April 21.-A very
rare animal is in Mr.. Joe Lovitt's
possession at this place, one
block from the depot, said to be a
white fox. 1t has created no little

Several parties have come from dis
lance to see 1t. Mr.. Levitt charges
10 cents to see 1t and the proceeds
go toward keeping the streets Of
the town clean. Proceeds from see-
ing this white fox are growing nicely.
Understand that Mr.. Levitt has been
offered nice price and is contemplat-
ing transferring his ownership. So
all who can had better avail them
selves of the opportunity to see this
rarely before 1t is too late. Mr.. J..

Hartford City Qnd) Dispatch to the
 Chicago Tribune.
 A vision told Mrs. John D. Longfellow, of this city, of the death of her husband at the Marion soldiers home She had no previous warning of his illness.
 Sunday at midnight Mrs. Longfellow awoke from a sound sleep and told her three daughters that she had seen an angel in white fly across the room
 Your father is dead" she told the girls. They tried to dissuade her and secuted the idea, because no word had been received of his being ill
 Mrs Longfellow took an early train for Marion, so impressed was she by the vision, although no word had come. An hour after her departure, E. M. Stahl. of the G. A. R. post came to the house bearing word that Longfellow was dead.

The Gayety.

The Reilly & Woods big show and the Greater New York Stars are to be the attractions at the Gayety theatre this week. In this brilliant aggregation-and no better ever performed in burlesque houses, it is claimed-are 50 players. The press agent puts it thus:
 "Messrs. Jacobs and Jarmon have sur rounded the ever popular Pat Reilly with the very cream of the vaudeville profes- sion simply because they are old show men and know the business, that is the solution. The same way if man is sick he wouldn't go to a soda fountain clerk because he worked in drug store that was owned by a doctor. He would go direct to the doctor himself, because he knew his business Just so with the con solidation Reilly x Woods. Big Show and the Greater New York Stars, the owners know just what the Gayety theatre going public demand and they have sup piled that demand-result: record break ing houses. Convince yourself see this show and make your own comparison, that will be enough. No strings, no ifs, no ands, and no butts. to this show, it is the biggest thing, ever presented in this particular field of thea tricals.
 ''The management has provided an abundance of stage settings to enhance the value of the production while the startlingly novel lighting effects leave nothing to be desired. The whole show is snap and action leaping and laughter and light and being your hearts gone, oh, ho, it's big and fine, this consolidated show, but one don't think of 1t that way; when you go away all you think about is grace and ceaseless motion of feet and hands and fun and the roars of laughter from pit to dome"

Holmes was the writer-"Lena Rivers" was the name the book bore, Its success was in stant and has continued ever since critics Of the time gave columns of space to glorifying a woman who could place so beautiful a thought in book form. The popularity of the book was phenomenal Its sales were stupendous and since that time over 1000, 900 readers have enjoyed its pages. A dramatiza- ton has been made of Lena Rivers" and has proved as popular and successful as the book. The play has lived and gives promise of successful popularity for years to come.
 Miss Beulah Poynter. the dramatist Will play the title role. Miss Poynter is an actress of high intellectual attain ments,, a thorough student of the drama and of solid, conscientious ideas regard ing her profession. An actress of con- siderable beauty and of rich versatility she gives her audience the delight of feel Ing peculiar sympathy for a character by so concealing her own personality. leaving her audience entirely with the Joys and sorrows of the character she places before them, which is the most difficult master stroke which the actor has to attain. Miss Poynter's success in Lena Rivers" overlaps all her previous efforts. Manager Semon presents this beautiful play and delightful actress at the Bijou all this week, beginning to- morrow night.

LIVE oCToPI IN NEW YORK.
Captured by Natives of Bahama Islands
 After Exciting Struggle.
From the New York American

From the New York American
 For the first time in the history of the New York aquarium live octopi are moving about in it's tanks, and show every indication of surviving the or deal of being transported from south ern waters. All previous attempts to bring the strange fish alive to this port have failed. Five arrived yesterday when the Quebec Steamship companys liner Bermudian reached here from Bermuda
 The director of the zoo is very anx- ious that politicians and spellbinders of all political faiths shall visit an oc- topus and study at first hand the in- spiration of the most overworked figure of speech. He will have it angered so that it will squirt its cloud of sepia into the water and hide itself from it's pursuers, much like trust getting an injunction on a technicality.
 The fish were captured by natives of the Bahama Islands after a struggle not devoid of danger. Large specimens Of the fish have never been caught alive, but occasionally young ones are landed in nets About a month ago pr. Mobray went to Bermuda and asked some of the more venturesome natives to catch some for him. They waited for many days, hiding behind rocks as dusk came on hoping that they might get sight of some coming out of the water
 After many nights of watching a number of the octopi appeared crawl ing slowly out to find resting place in the crevices of rocks or to take ref uge in a cave where the rising tide would not catch them. The men then rushed upon them and covered them with nets. The animals used their long tentacles with good effect for time, and several of the natives re- ceiyed bruises on their arms and legs. In the end five live ones with bodies about foot in diameter and tentacles of many feet in length were gathered in and secured. They were then put in tanks to await the departure of the Bermudian.
 The octopi have round bodies and eight tentacles that are covered on the bottom with cup-shaped, fieshy protub- erances, which are capable of sucking blood from any part of a body on which they fasten. They are particu- larly formidable, as their bodies are so tough that a knife cannot penetrate them

 MT. BeauValis is an artist to his finger-tips, and his impersonation of General Montague S one of the most striking and pleasurable in vaudeville Associated with MT. Beauvais is Miss Teresa Maridor, who is featured as Wanda" the Indian maiden, in their beautiful comedy drama of The Wild flower" The story is one of heart in terest in which quaint comedy and native pathos are tenderly inter mingled. It Is a symphony of woods and wildflowers. The Indian maiden nurses her paleface lover, who IS Lieut. Fairfax of the regular army, back to life after having been severely wounded. and when the young officer leaves to return to New York, where he wishes to marry the daughter Of General Montague and Wanda finds him there and upbraids him in her untutored Indian way, the scene is so strongly realistic it beggars descrip- tion. This playlet is considered the finest of it's kind on any stage.

From the New York Tribune.
 Mike was always a good man. I won't make any complaint against the lad; sure, he didn't mean it." were the first words of Bridget Gleason, addressed to Patrolman Hughes, of the East Thirty fifth street station, when he found her on the sidewalk in front of her home last night.
 The policeman had seen the woman come hurtling through the air from a second-story window, and before he could even ask a question as to the cause of her fall she put in good word for Mike"
 As the policeman learned, Mike" was Micheal Gleason, husband of Bridget, and her fall had come in at the end of some festivities in the Gleason apartment, at which a few of the neghbors had gather ed. Mike" in a spirit of fun, threw his wife out the window She was not fatally hurt
