THE BLARNEY STONE. Good Imitation Will Be Seen at Com
 ing Irish Fair.

What pleasure seeker in travelling through Ireiand would not desire to see the Blarney castle, that portion of the Emerald isle which is famous the world over. The Blarney castle ruins are situated about four miles northwest of Cork; in this castle is also the blarney stone which we have heard so much about, the kiss ing of which is reputed to endow one with the gift of coaxing, wheedlins and ,fattering. The true stone is de- clared to be one in the castle wall a few feet below the summit of the tower. In order to kiss 1t is Is nec- essary for one to be held over the parapet by the heels. Nearly every person that travels in Ireland has reported that he has kissed the stone but in many cases this is untrue as many of the same people have been unable to reach the blarney stone and were satisfied after kissing a stone in the castle which was near the original. All the features of the famous castle and stone will be shown at St Joseph's T. A. society's big Irish fair which is to be held at city hall from September 19 to 26. Blarney castle will not be the only feature at the fair as the entire hall is to be converted into miniature Ireland in which all other famous ruins and attractions will be repre- sented. There will be an entertain ment and dancing each evening.

songs, the story is we'll connected, that is for a lambs play, and as said before, the company was so good that 1t made the audience feel like frolic- ing and frisking in lambland. Carle is amusing and his ludicrous gyra- tions were a scream in themselves. He was as accommodating as ever and responded to encores again and again. By the way, 1t is a long time since a musical number received such hearty applause as last evening. The gal lery liked "The Modest Little Model to such an extent that 1t applauded very, very vigorously. The words were pretty, the music tuneful and the pietures-well the gallery went strong on those. 'Betsy's the Belle of the Gathers" was another hit which Carle made the most of, while "I Idolize Ide" as sung by Sylvain Langlois, George Bogues and Dewitt Mott also was well received. Miss Nellie Brewster, a real prima donna, made a pronounced impression and the audience seemed to much enjoy her singing which was far better than her acting. The same applies to her fellow worker" De Witt Mott. Cecilia Rhoda caused a furry while singing Jamais d'la Vie" at tired in directoire gown with the emptiness missing. Carle cut his song "Leander" in the last act, but then everybody overlooked that in view of what had gone before. Would that more lambs like Mary's dropped into town occasionally and more come dians like Carle.

 The author of both the book ana

 offered for the best book and play upon humane theme. The play
 was to be written from Black Beau ty" and the judges who passed up- on the merits of the 14 plays pre- sented. pronounced the winner to be young lady of the west who used the pseudonym of ''Humanities. :" For style, grace, character drawing and dramatic value 1t was pronounc-
 ed a masterpiece and the play was quickly bought by Charles F. At-
 kinson and James Thatcher who will
 send out Black Beauty" all oves

 success in every country in the civ

EVERYBODY HAS A CHANGE.
The Proposition is Simple But the
 Results Are Magnificent.

An Eagle is not hard to find and If you go looking for one you can't miss him. They are as numerous as the falling leaves in autumn, but un- like the leaves, they never fall. But the search for Eagles still continues and will go on and on, until someone will strike the lucky one. There are golden eagles and winged eagles and the wings of one will carry the gold to the other That is the reason everybody is looking for an Eagle for he carries with him the golden souvenirs and the winged messen- gers of great joy and profit. Per haps you have been unfortunate in the past few years. It may be that you have suffered some pecuniary loss. Sickness and death may have laid their blighting hands upon your little home Your savings have been snatched away and you are up against 1t, in the plain language of the day. The Eagles may be your friends. They want to be everyone's 8 friend. but they have just twenty one propositions that they can dis pose of. It may fall to you or 10 some one in your family. 1t cer- taihly must alisht in some spot and

In the race scene which takes place in the third act of the Shu- bert's production Of Brown of Har- ward. at Polls on Wednesday. Rida John nston Young has brought strictly up to date what is probably the most effective and ancient of stage tricks. Sophocles, the greatest of the splen- did trio of Grecian dramatists, was the first to discover that an actors delineation of excitement over a con- flict of stage had more effect on an audience than If the struggle Itself were actually in view.

MARY'S LAMB.

Waterbury is beginning to realize that as a real comedian Richard carle is an advanced number and a good sized audience was present at Polls last evening to see him in "Mary's Lamb" quite unlike the gathering of a dozen present when he last visited this town of ours. The wool that Mary wore was of an ex- cellent quality. this applying not only to the leading lamb but all the other little lamblets that pranced around the pasture. The gambol which is in three acts. owes it's ex- istence to Mir Carle who compose
 the lyrics, wrote the music and stag ed the play. ? It has several catchy

SHERIFF KILLS J. H. MERRIN.
Victim Unarmed.-cause of Tragedy
Not Stated.

Caldwell, Tex, Nov. 10.-At 1890
o'clock yesterday, and just as the
northbound passenger train on the
Santa Fe was pulling into the yards
at the depot, Sheriff l.. w. Henslee
shot and instantly killed James Hunt
Merlin. Merrin had purchased a
ticket for Fort Worth and was going
of on that train on business of some
kind in Fort Worth. The two men
met near the bus, few words were
exchanged and three shots rang out
from the sheriff's pistol and Merlin
fell to the ground with two of the
balls through his breast and one
through the arm at the wrist. In one
hand of the dead man was handker-
chief.
A big crowd at once gathered and
the sheriff at once surrendered to the
officers, in whose custody he now is.
The exact cause of the trouble seems
hard to come at, and as far as the
news on the streets is concerned
seems hard to get. 1t is stated on
good authority though that there were
former threats made, and that when

the two men met few words were
exchanged, and that deceased made
a movement as for gun, and the
shooting took place.
Justice of the Peace Heslep and
Constable E. A. Ellis were there on
the grounds in a few moments and
held the inquest. An examination of
the dead mans body revealed the fact
that he had no gun on him, and his
two knives were in his pockets, shut.
Deceased was about 30 years old and
was man of bright intellect and had
done considerable literary work on
various papers. the Galveston News.
Globe-Denocrat and Houston Post.
His wife and a little girl. Menia.
about ~ years old, and his aged
mother are FRUSTRATED with grief over
the terrible calamity. Sheriff Henslee
is one of the most conservative men
in the county, and regrets that he had
to take the action he did, but feels
that he is perfectly justified in so
doing

DID BAILEY SCRATCH TIcKET7

The report that Senator Bailey
scratched Democratic ticket day be
fore yesterday at Gainesville will have
to be accepted iwth large grain OF
salt. They are in the habit of tell
ing things on Senator Bailey, you
know, that amt so. Bailey is a dyed
in-the-wool Democrat.-Austin States
man.
But Bailey may have found the
names of. one of those "hyenas" on
the ticket, you know, and surely you
would not expect Bailey to vote for
him.-Palestine Herald.
Since 1t is not probable that Sena-
tor Bailey will ever again be a can
didate before the people of Texas it
makes little difference whether he
scratched the ticket or not, Let us
have peace.
