7 TH’E SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1%895. D ——— e ———————t SHOULD BE QUSTED, Demand Made for the Scalp of Commander Folger of the Navy. ‘WAS VIRTUALLY BRIBED. Received Stock in a Steel Com- pany and a Salary as “Consulting Engineer.” BY A BIG LAWSUIT. REVEALED Transactions in Which the Officer Figured Brought Out on Cross- Examination. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 18.—The Times this morning prints a story regard- ing the connection of Commander Folger, T. 8. N., with the Harvey Steel Comp It Lawyer Hess, James R. Davies, who last week secured a verdict for §10,000 against the Harvey Steel Company, as sayin “If a man in any of the civil depart- ments of the public service had been guiity of the conduct of Commander William H. Folg S. he would find him- self under ind nt for brivery. Yes, and for perjury. This man should be ar- raigned at once before a court-martial, and dismissed in disgrace from the navy. By his own testimony, and the testimony of his friends, he has confessedly been guilty of accepting pay from al contractors while in the employ of the Government, and while he was suoposedly looking after the Government’s erest.” Mr. Hess’ declaration regarding Com- mander Folger was based on testimony elicited during the hearing in Davies’ suit before Justice Gaynor of the Supreme Court, Brooklyn. Te Ny W given to the effect that d §20,000 worth of the stock ie Harvey Steel Company, and that he was placed on a salary of $5000 a year as Iting engineer” to the company r he had made contracts with the con- , acting on behalf of the Secretary of Navy, under which the company had received 6,056 45, and would vrobably receive mi ns of dollars in the future. The testimony was brought out on cross- examina! of Commander Folger him- self and of William Allen Smith, secretary and treasurer of the Harvey Company. Its truth attested by the minutes of the com The facts were only dragged to light after long investieution. Commander Foiger is one of the most widely known men in the nayal service. 1N THE BULGARIAN FIELD. Methodist Missions Have Not Been Conducted Very Satisfactorily. But More Money Was Given for the Work After Sharp Debates in the Committee. 18.—The Metho- committee, after g the Bulgarian field all day, de- cided to vote an appropriation of $15,485 to continue the work, and the money is to be administered by the board and the pre- siding Bishop. The debate was the sharp- est of all the sessions and at times almost sensational in occasional sidelights given of the methods of the officials who had the money to disburse in far-off Bulgaria. was shown that after sixteen years’ work and the expenditure of $400,000. about 280 members of the church remained, the total result. Wars had several times broken up the missions, and now but one American remains to handle the work, whose general ability was criticized se- verely. An effort to consider the Bulgarian mis- sion in secret s n was urged, debated and finally defeated. Bishop Foster spoke of the nt condition of the mission work in Bulga and admitted that the administration there was unsatisfactory. It had been a failure from the beginning, and its continuance could not be justified to the public, whose money supports all the missions of the church. Bishop Foss wanted to close out the mission as soon as possible, but favored an appropriation for another year. Dr. Fleming thought sal- aries there were too high.” Bishop New- man with others strongly maintained that Bulgaria was a strategic point for future extension of missionary work in Russia, and favored 1ts continuance. The debate ended in the regular cut of 7 per cent on last year's appropriation. The Scandinavian mission suffered a like fate. The appropriations for the work among the German-speaking conferences in this country were made according to the same rule, to be divided among the several conferences by special commitree. ek ALL THE FLYERS ON TIME. S0 Far Fast Trains to the West Would Appear to Be a Success. OMAHA, NeBr.,, Nov. 18.—The North- western-Union Pacific fast train between Chicago and San Francisco passed through Omaha on its initial trip this morning on time. Through Iilinois and Iowa the Northwestern ran its time easily and .was frequently abead of its schedule. Itaims to go from Chicago to San Francisco in seventy-two hours. The Union Pacific took the train out on tim d it is run- ning_easily, and the officials say that it conld pull into Cheyenne an hour ahead of time if necessary. The Rock Island, Milwaukee and Bur- lington flyers, which also changed sched- ules, came in on time. e L Their Sentence Stands. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18.—The conviction of W, H. Clune and other local officers of the American Railway Union for conspiracy to obsiruct the passage of mails on the Southern Pacific in California during the railroad strike in 1894 was af- firmed in the Supreme Court of the United States to-day. Judge Brewer delivered the ,Crockers’” began engraving fifteen years ago. _ They have kept up quality and price all these years, 227 Post street 21A Bush street opinion. The sentence imposed upon the prisoners by Judge Ross was imprison- ment for eighteen months. HAS TERRELL RESIGNED? There Is Doubt Regarding the Minister’s Future Movements. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18.—A re- port was prevalent to-day that Mr. Terrell, | the United States Mimister to Constantino- ple, has forwarded his resignation to Pres- ident Cleveland. Secretary Olney de- clined to say anything about the rumor. Some time ago Mr. Terrell asked for and obtained leave of absence from his post, but postponed taking it on account of the seriousness of the Armenian situation. It 1s said that the reportabout his resigna- tion has no other basis than a confusion with reference to Mr. Terrell’s intention to leave his post on leave. Mr. Terrell is giv- ing great satisfaction to the State Depart- ment and there is seemingly no reason why he should desire 1o resign, particu- larly when he would, by doing so, be de- serting his post in a grave emergency. The State Department still preserves se- crecy in regard to the news received from Turkey so far as communicating it to the general public is concerned WKINLEY WORRIES REED Campaign of the Seekers for the Republican Nomination for the Presidency. Strategic Moves of the Ohioan Per- ceived by the Man From Maine. BOSTON, Ma Nov. 18.—Information leaked out to-day that Hon. Thomas B, Reed of Maine was not going to receive the support of the united East if effort would count for anything. During the last month agents of McKinley have been canvassing the whole of New England pretty thoroughly. This fact has just leaked out, and to say that it has caused surprise in Eastern Republican ranks is expressing it mildly. A prominent politi- cian, who is a sincere backer of the man from Maine, said to-day that there could be no stress placed on the move, as it was only one that any strategic candidate would make and one which Reed is possi- bly imitating in McKinley’s district. There can be no doubt, however, that McKinley’s strategic manners have made a rapid move, and a number of thosein the ranks, even warm admirers of Reed, predict that, although at present the East seems solid for him, as the time for the convention draws nearer that united effort will have its effect and that Reed’s vote will be discounted in a manner which will be surprising. McKinley has always been a favorite among Eastern people, and al- though not enjoying the populanty or | confidence of Eastern people so much as the ex-Speaker, his strength’is still suffi- cient at a critical time to make matters decidedly interesting for an opponent, however strong. Three men are looked uvon as McKin- ley’s managers in the South and East. These are Mark W. Hanna of Cleveland, F. W. Dick of Akron and H. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago. Thus far none of the gentle- men have made any direct canvass in the East, but in spite of the time that they have spent in the South whipping in the Southern delegations their agents have been active in the East, and in this time of surprises it would be far from remarkable to see somewhat of a fight for the nomina- tion in Eastern Republican ranks. No politician of National experience will dis- count the strength and influence which such a canvass is likely to engender, and the knowledge that the McKinley forces are actively at work right on home terri- tory is causing the managers of the Reed boom more than ordinary anxiety. sasne S AERONAUT WALCOTT KILLED. Leaping From a Balioon in Venezuela, the Parachute Failed to Expand and He Fell to Death. HAVERHILL, Mass., Nov. 18.—Advices received to-day from Cuidad Decura, Venezuela, state that the famous Ameri- can aeronaut, Walcott, was killed on Octo- ber 28 while giving an exhibition at that place. He had made an ascension in his balloon, and, after making a leap with his varachute from a height of 5000 feet, the instrument refused to work and he fell to the ground, his body being frightfully mangled. Walcott was one of the most famous aeronauts in the world and had become celebrated over the United States and Europe for his intrepidity. He was the husband of Nellie Lamont, who was killea in an ascension at Cleveland in 1891, e FOUGHT A DUEL WITH DIRKS. A Quarrel Between Rivals Caused a Fatal Encounter, BLOOMINGTON, Ixp., Nov. 18.—News has just reached this city of a bloody duel fought last Saturday at Whitehall, a smalt precinct just west of this city. The prin- cipals in the affair were Samuel Neill and Thomas Williams. They had been paying attention to the same young woman, and as is the case with rival lovers quarreled. The quarrel became so bitter that they agreed to fight with dirks to see which should win the prize. The men met in a retired place on Satur- day. Each bad a knife and each was pre- pared to fight to the end. The battle was bloody, but not long, a blow from Williams quickly putting Neill out of the fight. Neill’s injuries are so serious that the doc- tors say he has little chance of life. Wil- liams is in custody. HARRISON ERR EATON. Will Now Cause His Arreston a Charge of Perjury. DENVER, Co1o., Nov. 18.—Duncan B. Harrison has instructed his lawyer, Henry I. Kowalsky of S8an Francisco, to arrest William Eaton of S8an Francisco on the charge of perjury, and commence suit for $20,000 daMhag es for defamation. Thisis a sequence of the charge brought against Harrison as co- respondent in Eaton's suit for divorce against his wife, Minnie Eaton, the society leader, of which charge Harri- son has just been honorably acquitted and 2‘\Iw. E}:mn granted a divorce in her coun- er suit. S A Educational Convention. PEORIA, IrL., Nov. 18.—Pro fessor N. C. Dougherty, president of the National Edu- cational Association, has returned from a visit to Duluth, Minn. He says the mat- ter or a location for the next educational convention will be settled this week. Bos- ton, Buffalo and Los Angeles are appli- cants, two of them having made flattering propositions. Som Dunraven’s Charges. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 18.—The New York Yacht Club at its meeting to-night spgpinmd J. Pierpont Morgan, William C. Whitney and Reginald Rives a committee of three to investigate Lord Dunraven’s charges. Dunraven has expressed his CRIMES OF ONE MAN. Deeds of a Negro Teacher in a Village in Ne- ~ braska. ASSAUL!I;'S ON A PUPIL. These Followed by Cutting Down the Whole Family With a Hatchet. HACKED HIS WAY T0 FREEDOM. Tactics of the School Board Caused In- dignation and the Murderous Acts of the Accused. EMPORIA, Kaxs., Nov. 18.—The inhabi- tants of Dunlap, a little village thirty miles north of here, are wild with excitement to- night and most of them are out on a man hunt. David Henderson, a young colored schoolteacher, not long ago assaulted one of his pupils, Dora Ray, about 14 yea:s of age. He was cited to appear before the Board of Education. To-night he did so, accompanied by his lawyer, J. W. Miller of Council Grove. At the hearing evi- dence was not only produced proving the attempted assault a few days ago, but he was charged with renewing his attempt between 4 and 5 o’clock thisevening. Not- withstanding all this, the board wished to settle the matter so Henderson would not have to appear in court to answer to a criminal charge. This exasperated the father of the little girl, Samuel Ray, who insisted that he be arrested and tried. A quarrel ensued and Henderson struck Ray on the head with a hatchet, sphitting his skull open. Hethen made a rush for the door of the school- room, in which the investigation was tak- ing place, and was met in the aisle by Mrs. Ray, who attempted to stop him. She, too, fell before his murderous weapon, also being struck on | the head with the sharp edge of the hatchet. The nextin his path was Mrs. McFall, .a daughter of Mrs. Ray and sister of little Dora. She was also felled to the floor, her head receiving a blow from the negro’s bloody weapon. He then reached the door and might have escaped without further trouble to any one. He, however, seemed not satisfied and turned aside to strike Thomas Starkey, who re- ceived a blow on the head simllar to those received by all the others, and was left, like them, weltering in blood. Henderson then escaped and has not since been seen, although the utmost efforts are being put forth to capture him. Neighboring towns and villages have been informed of the terrible affair and asked to assist in his capture. Latest reports from Dunlap to-night, strange to say, re- port that none of the victims are dead, though ncne will survive. MURDER OF A MERCHANT, Slain by a Woman With Whom He Was Infatuated and Her Son. An Insurance Policy for Five Thou- sand Dollars the Motive for the Crime. WICHITA, Ka Nov. 18.—This morn- ing at 6 o'clock Henry H. Leonard, a prominent merchant, was found murdered in an alley two blocks away from the po- lice station. The body was lying near a sewer manhole that the murderers tried in vain to uncover. The police being notified sent to the bome of Irene Williamson, his reputed mistress, 600 feet away, and found ber burning bloody clothes in the stove. They also found that she had turned the carpet upside down, which even then could not hide human blood stains. A trail of blood was traced through the woman's yard and stable into the alley and thence to where the body was found. She and her 19-year-old son, Orville, were arrested, but not before they haa a story made up in the event of dis- covery. Mrs. Williamson said in confes- sion that her divorced husband hearing that Leonard came to her house followed hita on Sunday night at 10 o’clock and killed him with a piece of gaspipe, and that on toward morning he dragged the body into an alley with the intention of throwing it into a sewer manhole. Her divorced husband was arrested and is able to prove a strong alibi. The wounds show that two parties com- mitted the murder, as they were ‘made with a hatchet and a club. About a month ago Leonard wanted to marry the woman, but as she had not been separated from her husband the statutory length of time the Probate Judge refused to marry them. Leonard at that time made his insurance policy of $5000 payable to her, with whom he was greatly infatuated, and the evidence is overwhelm- ing that she conspired with her son to kill Leonard for the insurance money. It was the most cruel and cold-blooded murder committed here during the last twenty-five years, and the people are greatly excited. RiFLEY 15 DIPLOMATIC, Will Not Deny That His Chances Are Good for the Santa Fe Presidency. Chicago Soon to Have Another Railroad Route to the Pacific . Coast. CHICAGO, Irr., Nov. 18.—When asked to-day concerning the report that he had been slated by the reorganization commit- tee of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road for the presidency, Third Vice-Presi- dent Ripley of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road said: “If the report is true I have not been apprised of it. However, about ten days ago I heard my name nientioned in con- nection with the office, but I am not at wiilitgness to come to America to back | liberty to say in what manner.” up his charges, % Mr. Ripley would not deny, however, that he had a good chance of being the choice of the committee and the best in- formation among the railroad men of this city is to the effect that he will be at the head of the road when the election is over. 1t is known that J. Pierpont Morgan, who is a large holder of Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul stock, is an ardent backer of Mr. Ripley for the much-talked-of posi- tion. The meeting will be held of the Western lines to-morrow, for the purpose of elect- ing a chairman for the new association. B. D. Caldwell, the chairman of the old association, will undoubtedly be re-elected. The new arrangement goes into effect on December 1, and before it does so all lines must file with the chairman a statement of any.rates they are making which conflict with the rules of the new association. The Chicago and Lake Superior Railroad Company, behind which the Canadian Pa- cific is said to be working, is buil_ding a new line into Chicago to connect with the Soo line at Lake Superior. This will give Chicago another route to the Pacific Coast. The construction of the new branch has been already begun. It is said that suf- ficient bonds to prosecute this end of the work have been issued and taken up. The bonds are in denominations of $100, §300 and $500. — THE KNIGHTS Several Intevesting Problems Considered by the Assembly. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18.—A reso- Iution relative to the Supreme Court of the United States was introduced in the gen- eral assembly of the Knights of Labor this morning. It demands an amendment to the constitution taking from the President the power of appointing members of the Supreme Court and providing for their election by popular vote. The constitution was amended so as to exclude gamblers, lawyers, bankers and brokers, as at present, and also to exclude all employers in the manufacture of or dealers in intoxicating liquors, but permit- ting each local assembly to decide for it- self whether it will admit barkeepers, waiters, etc., engaged temporarily in the work of dispensing liquors, but having no connection with the place where employed as proprietor. A resolution was adopted declaring in favor of recognition of the Cubans as bel- ligerents. SUCIDE OF FAED ISNER Close of the Career of a San Fran- cisco Cigar-Maker in Ohio. Left a Note Asking That His Body Be Turned Over to a Medical College. oF LaBor. SPRINGFIELD, Omo, Nov. 18.—Fred Tsner of San Francisco lies dead at Dayton, Obio, thirty miles southwest of here. He was found at 10 o’clock in the morning at his room in the City Hotel dead. His room was reached from a window from a rear roof. Isner wae lying undressed in bed, dead. An empty four-ounce baitle labeled carbolic acid indicated the death route. His lips were blistered and swollen, showing the effect of the fiery liquid. Otherwise his features were natural and composed. He was apparently abont 37 years of age, and bad dark hair and a small mustache. There was nothing of value among his effects. A card among these showed that he was a member of the Cigar-makers’ Union. The card was issued at San Fran- cisco. Subsequent segrch among the effects of the dead man disclosed a bankbook, among the flyleaves of which some addi- tional data were discovered that may serve to identify him. An indefinite memoran- dum indicates that he was insured in the New York Mutnal, and that a payment was due December 20 of this year. A letter was inclosed between the leaves, which was addressed to the president of the local Cigar-makers’ Union. This letter was doubtless written while he was premedi- tating suicide, and was intended for the president of such union at the place of his final taking off. In addition to the address | the letter also contained this superscrip- tion: “To be opened in case of accident, or in theevent my dead body is found.” The contents are brief and in substance are: “It is my request thatmy body be turned over to the medical college for scientific purposes. It is my will that this request be respected. Frrp IsNer.” There was also in the book a letter to his sister, Mrs. Amelia Snow. There is nothing to indicate her whereabouts. Whether Mrs. Snow lives in San Francisco or not is a mystery, as is everything else about the dead man, The authorities will communicate with San Francisco parties, simply for the purpose of giving notifica- tion of the suicide.

CHICAGO, IrL., Nov. 18.—The appellate court to-day handed down an opinion in the case of the Chicago Fair Grounds Association (Harlem), in which the inter- locutory injunction obtained by the Attorney-General in the Circuit Court is affirmed. This was the suit commenced by the Civic Federation to prevent | gambling at the racetrack. i s TRussia’s Action in the East. ROME, Irany, Nov. 18.—M. Valngalia, the Russian Embassador, had a longinter- view with Baron Blanc, Minister of For- eign Affairs, to-day, after which it wasre- ported that Russia had decided upon inde- pendent action in the East. CAMPOS IS CONFIDENT Says He Will End the War in Cuba in a Month., RE-ENFORCEMENTS COME Immunity Offered to the Insur- gents if They Throw Down Their Arms. WILL SURPRISE THE SPANISH. General Maceo Intends to Put Forth the Full Strength of His Troops. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 18.—A dispatch to a morning paper from Havana states that the re-enforcements expected from Spain arrived to-day and were landed without mishap of any kind. This will increase the Spanish army in Cuba nearly 10,000 men, while the main re-enforcements, which will arrive about the 1st of Decem- ber, will further augment the number by 30,000, General Campos has decided to at once withdraw the greater part of the Spanish garrisons in this city and Santiago de Cuba and put those places in charge of the newly arrived troops,as he intends to at once throw into the field ail these men who have been thoroughly acclimated. General Campos is jubilant over the army which he will shortly be able to open his campaign with, and announces through the press that he will finish the war in a month, and callson all those in sympathy with the insurgents or even the rebels themselves to throw down their arms and they will be guaranteed im- munity. Another dispatch from the headquarters of the Cuban army from the east near San- tiago de Cuba states that the iresh arrival of troops has produced no hew effect on the svirit of the insurgents. General Maceo states that he has never shown his real strength, but when the time comes he will throw a force into the field which will be a surprise to the Spaniards. Hefurther states that no one realizes more fully the foolhardiness of continuing the struggle any more than the Spanish officials them- selves and says that if General Campos had his way the war would be stopped at once. He is overridden by the home authorities, however. From a Cuban source it has been learned that a large number of those prominently identified with the insurgent movement have been approached by high Spanish of- ficials and have received very flattering of- fers if they would renounce the cause. A dispatch {from Santiago de Cuba states that an encounter took place on the 8th near that city between a rebel band of about 500 and 800 regulars. The former had made an unsuccessful attack to de- stroy part of the American Railroad, when they were set on by the regulars, and gained the hills only after losing nearly one-half their number. NEW YOBK STAGE GUSSIP, Attractions Which Are Holding Gotham’s Attention at Present. A Bad Year for British Plays, and Henry Irving's Business Not Phenomenal. NEW YORK, N. Y. Nov. 13.—A new comedian has struck Broadway. He is short, fat, pudgy, but wonderfully droll, and he has accomplished the herculean task of making a Broadway audience laugh for 150 consecutive minutes. Perhaps there never was a more severe commentary on the provincialism of the Broadway theater-goers than the fact that after the first act of “The Wizard of the Nile,” at the Casino, not one but many members of the first-night audience ex- claimed, *“Who is this Frank Daniels, any- way? I never heard of him before, but he is great.” And this, if you please, was said of a comedian who has been before the public for more years than he would care to count. At the Fourteenth-street and the other combination theaters Dan- jels has been a great favorite for many years. ‘Who that has seen kis “‘Little Puck” will forget his impersonation of the hero of Anstey’s topsy-turvy tale? But to play at a New York combination theater is one thing, and to appear at a Broadway play- house is quite another, as many a good actor knows to his sorrow. New York managers have a bee in their bonnets to the effect that if they want to obtain a real novelty in the way of an actor they must send to England or France for it. A greater mistake was never made. There are actors now appearing in road com- panies that can give cards and spades to most, if not all, the accepted Broadway favorites. Sooner or later some of them will reach New York, and the town will hail them all of a sudden. Why, even a Gustave Frobman No. 3 organization has been known to entertain a star unawares. Frank Daniels’ experience is a case in point. You never saw so surprised a man in all your life as he wasafter his perform- ance. After the lost round of applause had died away he hurried into his street clothes, and waving aside the myriad of glad hands held toward him he made tracks for home. ““It’s like this, you know,” said Daniels, when he found himself safe on a Broadwa car, “I'm cutting home to tell her .fi aboutit. She wasdying tocome tothe per- formance to-mg[ht, ut I headed her off. ‘No, my dear,’ said, ‘an actor's wife's first duty is to the children. You stay home with them and help them .out in their prayers. You can put in a little extra clause for me to-night, if you like. But if you come to the theater you would queer me. I should feel as if you were hatching a curtain criticism on me all the time.’ Somy wife took the sensible view of the matter. ‘All right, Frank,’ she said, ‘if you do well you shall have onions for supper.” Now, to an outsidér, there doesn’t seem so much in that. Onions arecheap, youknow. And my wife loathes onions and never allows me to eat them raw except on my birthday and Christmas day. . lyleu Daniels at his corner. Next morn- in§ 1 ran across him pn Broadway. *‘Well,” I asked, *‘did you get your On‘k;)n:l?; t them!” lai “Di et them!” exclaimed Daniels. “Well, rather. And the ol lady wnaeao tickled to death at my success that she actually ate one, too.” The past week has seen a lot of new small-fry attractions in town. On Mon- day Perer Dailey came to the Bijou in ‘“The Night Clerk”; Frederick de Belle- ville, fatter than ever, appeared at the Standard in “Honor,” and on Tuesday Marie Jansen appeared at the Garrick in “The Merry Countess.”” Irving has “The Corsican Brothers” underlined for produc- tion, but the great success which “King Arthur” has scored will probably delay the performance. This play has proved once more the remarkable power of Ellen Terry asadrawing attraction. The part of Guinevere does not give her an oppor- tunity to show her matchless powers as a comedienne, but it keeps her on the stage for the greater part of the evening, and gives her some exquisite scenes to inter- pret. The vogue of this woman amounts almost to an adoration. Ellen Terry is one actress of whom I have never heard another actress speak an unkind word. The women in the company fairly worship her and Julia Arthur, the Ameri- can girl who now plays second parts to Miss Teiry, said: *‘As long as I liveI shall never forget Miss Terry’s kindness tome. Mind you, it was no easy thing for me, a comparative stranger in London, to fall into the ways of the Irving com- pany at once. I shall never forget the aw- ful {eelin+ [ haa at my first rehearsal. It was worse than the stage frights of all my first nights combined. 1 had no idea whether Mr. Irving would be gentle or autocratic. And then Miss Terry came in and the sunshine came with her. She told me that I mustn’t mind thisand I mustn’t mind that ana before 1 knew this woman had imbued me with the idea that she and I, as actresses, were on an equal footing and if anything I wasthe more experienced of the two. When Mr. Irving arrived I was in admirable form. And then I real- ized that my fears were groundless. Mr. Irving, jar from being an autocrat, was the gentlest and most painstaking stage man- ager that I had experienced. I consider it a pleasure as well as an honor to work for him.” Last Tuesday morning May Irwin strolled into the box-office of the B‘X({]_ou when a woman followed her inside. ‘*Miss Irwin,” exclaimed the actress, “I wasan actress once myself. I want you to look at my stage jewels. Buy them from me. They’re just the thing for you to wear in “The Widow Jones.”’ “The woman took a box out of her satchel. In the box was an emerald neck- lace, each glass shone almost as large as a helxl\’s egg. Miss Irwin gazed at it ecstati- cally. “My good woman," she exclaimed,“‘that is the finest stage necklace I have ever seen. I would buy it in a minute, only”’— and here Miss Irwin laid her hand signifi- cantly upon her coliar, “only I haven’t any neck.” The name of Bronson Howard’s play. with which the Empire Stock Company is to open its New York season, is still a mystery. In fact, all details with regard to the play are kept dark. From present appearances it loofis as if the stock com- &:ny would not ap;ear at the home theater fore the miadle of January. Miss Nethersole, who was to begin _a month’s engagement at the Empire on December 2, will remain there for five weeks. Nat Goodwin finished his engagement at the Fifth Avenue last week, and will not return to New York for a long time. He feels that his New York critics were un- necessarily harsh in their ireatment of his performance of David Garrick, and as “Ambitior,” Henry Guy Carleton’s play, | has not set Broadway on fire, the come- dian is_not feeling in particularly fine fettle. It is to be hoped that Goodwin will not stay away from New York long, for he is easily the best of American come- dians and the playwrights of this country owe him a debt of gratitude, for he, more than any other actor now before the public, shows a willingness to produce their plays. This seems to be a_bad year for British attractions in New York. Irving's com- pany is the only imported organization which is now doing a large business in New York. This seems rather unfortunate, as ““The Shop Girl” and “*His Excellency’’ companies contain some of the best sing- ing and dancing comedians_that England has sent us in a long time. Even Irving’s business has not bcen sa. phenomenally large as in former years, This may be due to bis having opened in “Macbeth,” a play which does not suit his personality, and in which his enunciation isalmost un- intelligible. This strange mode of utter- ance, of which Irving seems to be a past master, is purely a mannerista which this great actor can_shake off at will. In the criticisms of his performances the notices were o severe on this point that they worked a good effect immediately. At his second performance of “Macbeth” Mr. Irving’s voice was as clear as a bell. The chief topic of conversation on the Broadway car now 1s, Will Hammerstein's Olympia be ready to open on Monday night? The general opinion seems to be that if any other man than Hammerstein were at the head of affairs the building could not open by any chance. But of late years this meteoric manager has proved himself to be a marvel in so many extraordinary ways that it is pretty safa to bank on his accomplishing anything which he guarantees to do The death of Mrs. Bowers last week set many anecdotes of this famous old actress in circulation. During the last few years she had dropped out of the runningin metropolitan stage affairs. Younger thea- ter-goers will remember her best by her delightful performance of the Duchess of Berwick in “Lady Windermere's Fan.” “The Rise of Jack Harward,” a play by Jerome K. Jerome, which Mr. Sothern has played in_this country under the title of “The Way to Win a Woman,” was hissed when preduced in London by E. S, Willard. 4 The happiest man in New York just now is Paul Potter. The success of ““Trilby’’ in London has elated him almost more than the triumph of his or.ginal production. The Cloister Cilub has moved uptown rignt into the heart of the theater district. It has become already a rendezvous for the dramatic critics after the performance. The club is composed of artists and news- paper men and magazine writers, and in the two years of its existence it has achieved a remarkable degree of success. Charles Frohman has arranged to pro- duce “The Gay Parisians” in London next spring with four members of the original company in the cast. Odertte Tyler and Burr MacIntosh both have novels in_press. Maclntosh’s novel deals with football and Miss Tyler's with the first families of Virginia. It is called “The Boss.” Elenor Merrow, an actress, who at one time understudied Georgia Cavan at the Lyceum, has just published a novel of stage life called **As the Wind Blows.” LEsLIE WHITACRE. CREIGHTON'S WILL VOID, AU the Property Will Go to the Daugh- ter, Mary Shelby. OMAHA, NEeBr., Nov. 18.—After a trial which has lasted more than three weeks the Creighton will case has finally been finished. This morning a sealed verdict, which had been returned by the jurl yes- terday, was read in court. The verdict found for the contestants and therefore that the will was null and void. The effect of this verdict will be to place the entire groperty left by Joseph Cmifihmn in the ands of his daughter, ary Shelby, throwing out all the heirs and the St. Remember That good health, strong nerves, physical vigor, happiness and usefulness depend upon pure, rich, healthy blood.

The latter institution bad been bequeathed 160 acres of land in East Omaha and another tract in the coun- try near the city. In all it was worth about §150,000.

During the course of the trial more than 100 witnesses were placed on the stand by the parties to the suit. 3 S TRAINING AT STANFORD. Football Men May Be Tiken to the Hills for the Final Practice. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Nov. 18.—The rumor continues to grow that soon the football men will be taken to the hills to receive their final training under Camp. The management asserts that the matter is far from settled and the men may not leave the Stanford campus at all. it is safe to say, however, that when a suitable training ground, not too far dis- tant, is found, the players will undoubtedly be taken there for a few days preceding the game. > Owing to the unfortunate mishavs to several of her players Stanford will have to skirmish around for more material. ~Little Meclntosh, the gritty quarterback, will be unable to play for a few days. olbrook, who did fir: ass work in the first two months of training and then was forced to stop on account of a sprained ankle, will again get into harness. Jeff and Fisher will be given attention, in order thiat the former may serve as end or halfback if necessary, while the latter will be given a show at halfback. _ 3 Frankenheimer is laid up with a. sprained ankle, but expects to be out dur- ing the week. Dole, '98, resumed practice ° this evening, and if he can stand the st for a few days is sure to make a very ac- ceptable sub-halfback. The practice began early to-day, and will be prosecuted more diligently each day during the week. Two practice games a day will be resorted to if necessary to in- crease the men’s efficiency. s 5 DT Football at Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Car., Nov. 18.—The Occidentals won the football game this afternoon_from the U. 8. C. by a score of 10to 0. Neither scored in the first half. In the latter half the Occidentals made two touchdowns and one goal. Several were injured. About 230 people were present. Will Sign for Fitzsimmons.
