An Actors Power.

An example of how an audience may
be deceived by gestures, delivery, ia
cial expression, eye and voice was once
given by an English actor named Du-
gazon, then the idol of the hour in Lon
don. He was standing at the wings be-
tween the acts of a tragedy. All at
once he threw Othello's scarlet mantle
over his shoulders, had the curtain
rung up and stalked TO the footlights.
Fixing his haggard eyes upon them. he
said in a sepulchral voice, "One lamp,
two lamps, three lamps" and so on up
to ten, moving majestically and i'm
pressing on each exclamation an as
cending vigor so well accentuated and
so serious that he held the audience
breathless, stupefied and enchanted I'M
der the pressure of tremendous mag
netism. Then he folded his drapery
haughtily and stalked Off the stage like
hero agitated by the most fiery pas
sion. Thunders of applause followed.

Osierism Hit,

Rockville, Md, Feb. 1.-THE pet theo-
nv of the renowned Dr. Oser has just
received a severe blow in the Maryland
house of delegates, now in session at An
napolis.
This county is represented by J. Daw-
son Williams, a lawyer; j. Preston Ray,
another young attorney; Cy Cummings,
the strenuous giant of baseball fame, and
George 7. Waters, a venerable farmer
eighty. two years of age
Waters introduced a bill to protect
wild game in the county. The bill was
referred to the delegation consisting of
the above named gentlemen-Williams,
Ray, and Cummings. The youthful and
exuberant solons got together and made
an unfavorable report on the old mans
bill. When the report was submitted to
the house of delegates, Waters arose
and quietly moved that his bill be sub
stituted for it. The strenuous authors
of the report made brilliant speeches
in its behalf, and the octogenarian
farmer took the floor and answered
them.
The vote of the house was taken, and
the old gentleman's bill was sustained by
analmost unanimous vote.

Doc Rescues Master.

New York, Feb. 12.-There were juicy
morsels of meat and bed of new straw
to sleep on for Nero, big Newfoundland
dog, owned by Edward Neary, of Bay
Fifteenth street, Bath Beach, for he had
saved the life of his master while half a
hundred persons stood aghast.
Neary was walking across thin ice in
Gravesend bay, when it broke and he
plunged into the water. Nero saw his
masters danger, plunged in after him,
his sweater. The dog held the uncon.
scious man in that position for several
minutes until rescuers arrived.

Woman Is Older Than the Nation

At the great age of 1872, Mrs. L. Kill
crease, living at Pine Mill, near here, cell
ebrated her birthday today. 1t is believ-
ed she is the oldest white person in the
world. She was born February 10, 1776,
in Halifax County, N. c., and lived there
100 years before she came with her fami-
ly to Texas. Her daughter, aged SO, and
her grand daughter, aged So, live with
her.
Mrs. Kilcrease shows records in fam
lily Bible corroborating her statement as
to her age, and Investigations have
proved them correct. She still enjoys
good health, and is able by the use of a
cane, to walk about the house.
She saw George Washington, her rec
objection of incidents she witnessed a
century and quarter ago is marvellous,
and she likes to relate stories of those
stirring times.
