Sir Henry irving a Victim.

Mr.. Grossmith, the noted English
funmaker, just deceased, was an in
veterate joker and Sir Henry Irving
was once his victim when they were
both staying at the same hotel at
Manchester. Mr.. Grossmith, seeing an
enormous crowd outside the hotel,
said to the porter: Are these peo-
pie waiting to see me?" On being told
that they were waiting to see Sir
Henry he turned up the collar of his
overcoat. adjusted his eyeglasses,
pulled his soft hat down over his eyes,
and walked down the steps with the
Irving gait. There was great cheering.
but when Sir Henry Irving went down
later the crowd had dispersed. After
ward, when Sir Henry heard of the in.
cident. he said to Mr.. Grossmith, with
a twinkle in his eye: you ought not
to have done that: pay those people
to come here every night."-London

Within a few hundred yards OF

silent to the end about his identity.
Although he undoubtedly possessed
he power of speech, "Gerome" had
not conversed with anyone in the half
century he had been cared for by
Oidier Comeau and the latter's sons
md daughters. During all of this time
'Gerome" had remained mystery to
he settlers here, most of whom are
Known as returned Acadians," being
he descendants of the compatriots of
Evangelne who returned to this part
Of their adopted country after their
expulsion by the English in 1855.
Away back in the summer Of 1861,
according to tradition, a ship differ
ent from those usually seen here, put
off small boat which made for the
shore and deposited above the tide
line an object that several hours later
was discovered to BIS a man. His legs
had been freshly amputated and there
was a jug OF water and package OF
ships biscuits beside the man, who
had suffered greatly from exposure.
Wrapped in blankets and taken to
the Comeau house. where, ever since
he had been a welcome member OF
the household, the man was finally
revived by physician. In half doz-
en- languages the man was asked:
what is your manner" To this
question. in Italian. propounded by the
elder Comeau, the man made NUT
tered reply: "Gerome!" Never after
that, however, did "Gerome" utter
word except on one occasion, when
asked where he came from. Trieste"
was the reply made, seemingly in an
uuguarded moment.
Physicians from all parts OF the
world who have visited this land of
Evangeline in the fiftyo-ne summers
that have elapsed since "Gerome" was
found on the beach. have studied the
mans case. Most of them have agreed
that he might have spoken had be de-
sired to do so; one or two have vouch
safed the opinion that some terrible
experience through which "Gerome"
passed frightened him out of his
senses and rendered him unable to ut
ter an ineligible word.-New York

A Home Ruler Before Gladstone.

Sir Wilfrid Lawson was a home
ruler long before Mr.. Gladstone. In
1881, when the Liberal government
was engaged in a policy of active re-
preston in Ireland. Lawson. in an ad-
dress to his constituents at Carlisle,
summarized the situation with charac-
tertistic shrewdness. Il am convinced
of one thing" he said, that, as sure
~ as stand here, disaffected nation.

erns it, is not a source Of strength
to that country. but source Of weak
ness to Everyone concerned in the
matter. Suppose you had house
maid who was continually breaking

stated that action would be defer

going east and on his return
would endeavor to visit Idaho

posed action occasioned consider
able Indignation here. Their
is scarcely quedtion but that il
this change is made so that there
will be only one taain up from
Denver in the morning and one
down in the afternoon, a move
ment will be inaugurated to have
auto trains run between this cily
and Golden and thus connect with
the Electric line there. The busi-
ness would justify such a course.
T he Floyd Hill road is such that
a comfortable car of the seeing
the foot hills style would meet
with large patronage. W lth the
contem plated reduction of trains
there would be little convenieuce of
business nature for our people.
They would not get to Denver in
the evening to do any business
and as the train would leave there
In the morning before business
hours it would necessitate stopping
over the entire day and coming
back the second morning. 1t
n eeds no prophetic eye to see that
this would be a very undesirable
con dition and that such a course
would compel our people to make
arrangements independent of the
railroad for business accommoda-
tons for travel. 1t is matter in
which not only Idaho Springs IS n
terested, but all towns west of the
Forks, both on the Central City
and the Silver Plume branches
and there should be concerted
action all along the line to over
come such proposed reduction.

On Sunday is the time of the
election of officers of the Union

has been expressed that the TIVE

the attendance hardly warrants the
