being most conscientious man, had
been so engrossed with his duties that
he had not noticed his intrusion upon
the stage. A roar of laughter for no
apparent reason greeted him, and the
poor man stood rooted to the spot.
The comedian frowned and then made
capital out of the incident. He made
some absurd remark to the man, who

HAPPY HITS MADE BY MISTAKE

Men and women who make a busi-
ness of catering to the public taste
think they know what the public want,
but it often happens that they are mis-
taken as it is sometimes developed by
accident.
Like some of the most famous inven-
tions, the work of a comedian is, to
a great extent, the skillful grouping
of number of accidents, or unexpect-
ed effects, either adopted as found or
expertly developed. And that this is
true-whether it concern makeup"
properties or f'business'-the writer
has learned by actual experience.
AS an instance, the invisible elastic
attaching a false mustache to come
dams features snapped. Making
great show of concealment, the ready
witted funny man twisted two small
punches of the hairs into horns which
he inserted just within the nostrils,

Again, the incident of a sailors in

scene in which the heroine was cruelty

benefit of the receipts.

unearthly contortion of the face. He
was relieved of the necessity for
speech time after time, as the audience
rocked in merriment at the slightest
twitch of the absurd thing. That ex-

of his makeup"
The same potentalities lie in the
"business'-that is, the actual move

as not, an involuntary dive into the

New York. August 1e.-Three thousand
fans who had assembled at the Eairmont
Athletic club here to see Al Kaufman and
Bill Lang, the big Australian, fight 10
rounds, were disappointed tonight when
the club management announced that the
bout was called off. John Purroy
Mitchell, the young president of the board
of aldermen, who Is acting as mayor dur
ing Mayor Gaynors Illness, had notified
the club that he would not permit tho
fight to be held. The police had sur
rounded the place and although four pre-
liminary bouts were held unmolested, the
orders from the acting mayor were so
strict that the main contest was aban-
doned. r.
Kaufman was already stripped for bat
tie and was in the ring when the an
nouncement was made. Spectators had
come from Philadelphia, Boston and Bal
timore to see the bout and in the crowd
were seen the faces of Jim Corbett, kid"

Charley White, the referee, and others.

NEGRO ESCAPES
FROM WILD MOB

Hinton, w. Va, August 16.-Directly
under the nose of lawless mob of over
1000 Infatuated men bent upon having
the life of a negro arrested this after
noon, and believed to be the man who
assaulted and murdered Mrs. Lottie Ailiss
of Quinnemont Sunday night, county Of
fcers at 9 o'clock tonight escaped from
the Pullman car in which they had guard
ed their prisoner for over four hours.
The negro is said to be secreted In a
lumber yard about mile from here and
under guard Of soldiers. The town Is
in darkness at midnight, the mob having
cut the electric light wires.
As soon as the mob learned that their
prisoner had been spirited away when
almost within reaching distance of them,
their anger broke out twofold and they
have scattered into groups and are scour-
ing the woods for the party.
The crime for which the negro was
wanted occurred Sunday night, when John
Ailiss and his wife we're walking on the
railroad tracks near Quinnemont, w. Va.
A negro slipped up behind Ai1iss and
knocked him down. After kicking him
into insensibility the negro assaulted Mrs.
Ailiss, who was a bride Of but three
weeks, and then murdered her. Ailiss re-
covered enough Monday morning to tell
the story, but Is now in critical condi-
ton at the hospital here.

$4,000 COLLECTED
FOR KNIGHT-YANCEY
MISE WITH COMPANY IN PULAS-
III, TENN.-MURPHY TO HOLD
MEETING HERE SATURDAY.

The trustee of Knight. Yancey & Co.
has compromised a claim of that COM
pany against a company in Pulaski,
Tenn, for $4,000. The company is
said to have owed the bankrupt firm
of Knight, Yancey & Co. for 40 bales of
cotton. AS this was an asset the trus-
tees attorney attempted to collect 1t
and yesterday it was announced that
the sum had been secured.
To ratify this compromise Referee
Jere Murphy will arrive In Birming-
ham Friday afternoon and will hold a
creditors meeting in the federal build
ing Saturday morning.
The court will be asked to raitfy the
sale of the 40 bales and will also be
requested to pass on several other small
matters in connection with the set
Element of the estate.
1t is not believed that any witnesses
will be examined at the meeting as the
trustee has not summoned any new
ones, nor is there any information de-
sired but what has In the past been
secured.
The Knight-Yancey case has laid
dormant for about 80 days. However,
it was intimated yesterday by one of
the attorneys closely connected with
the case that something of an interest
ing nature would be forthcoming with
in the next few days. The insistence of
foreign bankers that some action be
taken in the case by law officers is
said to have borne fruit and it will not
be surprising to see some developments

tees position Is about clear and in his
connection nothing new is expected

$4,000 fee?"
Chief Johnson insisted he did not re-
member.
Asked why $500 in warrants for ex-
pense accounts rendered by McMurray
had been made out in his own favor
Johnson explained he was accustomed to
pay off the expense bills incurred by Nc
Murray. Johnson said his salary as chief
of his tribe was $4,000. In response to
questions the witness said he had never
received financial aid from McMurray.
He asserted a majority of his tribe favor
ed paying McMurray s3,O00,OO0 fee in the
present proposed sale of land
Johnson occupied almost the entire day
on the stand.
Gov. c. n. Haskell today telegraphed
his willingness to testify, but probably
would not be called.
