FOOD IN BELEAGUERED CITY
Extremlties to Which inhabitants Of
Paris Were Driven During the
Siege of 1870.

In a letter by Henry Labouchere,
which is quoted by A. l.. Thorold in
his life of the distinguished journal
list, he describes, not without a char
acteristic touch of humor, the ex-
tremes to which the inhabitants of
Paris were driven during the siege
of 1870
| went to see what was going on in
the house of a friend of mine in the
Avenue de rImperatrice, who has left
Paris The servant who was in
charge told me they had not been able
to obtain bread for three days, and
that the last time he had presented
his ticket, he had been given about
half an inch of cheese.
How do you live, them" / asked.
After looking mysteriouSly round to
see that no one was watching US, he
took me down into the cellar and
pointed to some meat in a barrel 1T

of a man who is showing someone
the corpse of his murdered victim.
"A neighboring coachman killed him.

which sat a huge cat. 81 am fatten-
ing her up for Christmas; we mean
to serve her up surrounded with mice

On January 6. Labouchere notes:
Yesterday, had a slice of Pollux for
dinner. Castor and his brother Pollux
are two elephants that have been
killed The meat was tough, coarse.
and oily. and | do not recommend
English families to eat elephant when
they can get beef or mutton. Many
of the restaurants are closed for lack
Of fuel. They use lamps, but even
French cooks when they are called
upon to cook an elephant with a spirit
lamp, find the thing almost beyond
their ingenuity. Castor's and Pollux's
trunks sold for As francs a pound, the
other parts of the interesting twins
fetched about ten francs a pound"
Not all the strange foods eaten dur
ing the siege were as unalluring. On
the subject of donkey, Labouchere
says Donkey is infinitely better
eating than beef or mutton; indeed.
do not know any meat that is better
Let anyone who doubts the excellence
OF cold donkey slay one of these weak
minded animals. cook him, and eat
him."

MANAGER SMITHS
ANNOUNCEMENT

The interest that is always occasion
ed by the announcement of the visit
OF Maude Adams is heightened Just
now by the knowledge that the play in
which the most popular of actresses is
Street. This charming work was the
second play from the pen of J. M.
Barrie to be given by the actress in
this country and it will always be
considered by many people as furnish
ing the charming little interpreter of
Barrie s heroines with her greatest ar
tistic triumph. If you have never seen
Equality Street, there is surely some
thing in store for you providing you
have left in you a spark of sentiment
and your sense of humor is not blunted
by work-a-day affairs and troubles.
You who have seen equality Street,
will smile as You look back and recall
it. What is it you seeg A little blue
and white room in a quaint little house
In charming village. Oh, you go back
ever so far-early in the nineteenth
century, for the women wore poke bon
nets and such wide skirts and every
one is so prim and proper And then
the men are in military garb for it is
known that Napoleon menaces Brit
aims shores. Standing out is a little
prim figure, that of Phoebe Throssell,
and you recollect that she was in love
with Valentine Brown, the young doc
tor down the street, who used to wait
so for the patients that never came
until one day he nearly breaks
Phoebe's heart by enlisting and going
Off to the wars. You see all this and
much more and when you are not smil-
ing you are looking at the scene with
dim eyes, for the clever Barrie can do
a lot more than make you laugh; a buff
foon can do that. And then the neigh
bors. Do you recollect how inquisitive
and gossipy they wereq Tt is all very
charming and delightful and you may
be sure that the picture it beautifully
limned and made to stand out artis-
tically.
Miss Adams has found the revival of
the old comedy so wonderfully success
full that she has had to lay aside her
other plays and make equality
street, her chief offering. In the re-
vival she will again be seen as Phoebe.
Surrounding her is company made up
of prominent PLAYERS.

MAY RELEASE
SELLA ON BOND

The preliminary examination of A.
Sella, on the eharge of having mur.
dered Marcel Edmund Ramella, will
be commenced tomorrow morning be-
fore Justice Dunn. The prosecution
will be represented by District Attor-
ney Powell, with possible associate as
counsel, and defense by j. A. Langwith
of Winneucea and j. M. Frame of
Reno.
10 is stated that Sella's attorneys
viii make fight to have their client
released on bail, pending trial. The
new statute passed by the last legisla-
ture, while rather ambiguous, Is
thought by able counsel to permit a
defendant in a murder trial to demand
bail as matter of right. As this is
the first ease to be tried under the new
statute, the decision on this point will
no doubt establish a precedent.
