When it subsided he proceeded to make himself out funnjer than ever as Butte, Montana's, ecentric genfus. *“The Circus Girl” ladies should observe Mr. Bernard's management of his train, and his waist hitched up in a talented way at the back, with the skirt hiked up in an intellectual way at. the front, appeals irresistibly. With Winfield Blake, the comedian has a shrieking specialty in “That's How it is Done Nowaday,” where Bernard's The imi- tation of the various theatrical fare of- fered here is truly hilarious, “Twirly Whirly” itself sets out to,be— and may end up by being—one of the brightest of the Weber and Field fancies that have been here. Eleven o'clock loomed too nearly at the second act’s close for me to pass upon the rest. With a flat stretch at the end, the first act was, other- wige, particularly fresh and bright, and *cond act, barring a sag in its center, well lived up to the first. 3 goes to Fischer’s for, bright, inconsequen- tizl nonsense, and those who went gave full token of their approval, with hands, teet, and roses galore, ; After Bernard, the hero of the hour was Harry Hermsen, who hurried on the stage with his beard around his neck, like a small and sandy feather boa. Mr. Herm- sen's gallant attempt to bluff the audience into the belief that the beard was meant to be worn that way deserves a medal, but was futile even when he imposed its unaltered position in the second act. With the chorus, headed by Miss Hope and Miss Emerson, in the trimmest of white trew: Mr. Hermsen has a hornpipe with an at- tendant song that cheers. Kolb and Dill have had better opportu- nitles than “Twirly Whirly” has to give, but certainly no more effective entrance, which the comedians make in an airship. Blake as Bob Upton has a congenial part, and with the aforesaid duet with Bernard and “My Ralnbow Coon,” two effective songs. Miss Amber as an American beau- ty and a Spanish senorita is as hand- some and vital as ever, with some re- markably fetching gowns to her credit. Olive Vail has a song that brought her into favorable prominence, “Dream Days of Beville,” and to Mr. Bates, a droll Eb- enezer Doolittle, falls another song. The chorus, as American gentlemen of the smart set, Spanish students, ladles and hidalgos, is handsomely costumed and drilled. Tt has an especially taking num- ber in “Ping Pong,” the opening chorus.

Anderson roomed at the hotel and lost no time during his off-duty” hours in winning the heart of the prettiest girl in the hostelry. After three weeks' woolng he asked for and was promised her hand. Both young people then went to their parents and re- quested to be allowed to wed. Neither was granted permission. Mrs. Manley objected to her daughter taking for a husband one she had known but a short time and Anderson’s father objected be- cause his son had not arrived at legal marriageable age.

Under a decision rendered in the Pro- bate Court yesterday, Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson, widow of the late Captain An- drew Nelson, a well-known mariner, who died in January, 1901, is not entitled to have distributed to her more than a half of her husband’'s $150,000 estate. She claimed the whole of it on the ground that Nelson, in giving her in his will the power to dispose of the half of the estate, in which in the will he had given her a lite interest only, had practically vested the title to that half of the estate in her. The court held, however, that such was not the case, and consented only to the distribution to Mrs. Nelson of the half of the estate she is entitled to as a wife, Nelson having declared that all his estate was community property. The disputed portion of the estate will, upon Mrs. Nelson's deat! the will pro- vides, go to John Nelson, a brother of the deceased, and to Captain John Leale, nephew of Mrs. Nelson. ———————— Contest Mother’s Will.

L0UIS Railroad Embankment on the River Front Gives Way. Loss of Life May Be Great and Damage to Property Enormous. ST. LOUIS, June 10.—The pressure of the flood forced a Passage through the Illinols Central Railroad embankment in the southeast portion of East St. Louls shortly before 1 o’clock this morning. The break speedily widened until a torrent 100 feet wide and 25 feet in depth was pour- ing through, threatening East St. Louis and the village of Centerville, adjacent. Precautionary levees that had beea erected for just such an emergency were swept through and the flood sped on- ward. Just before the break a negro em- | ployed on the levee demanded his wages on a threat to cut the water barrier. Without parley he was shot dead The shooting served to arouse the eiti- zens who scarcely slept, owing to the flood tension, and when the rush of wa- afterward they were not { caught in their be: Runners tors through the streets shouting a warning and soon people half mad from fright were fleelng for their lives. About 20,000 people live in that part of the city which fs in the flood’s path, and it is believed that fully haif that number will be rendered homeless by daylight. Just what the exact condition s cannot be learned until dawn At first it was reported tnat the watep was pouring Into the central portion of East St. Louis, but up to 3 o'clock that part of the city was still dry. The city hall, churches and other public buildings have been thrown open and are rapidly being filled with refug and clothing is being procured for those scantily clad. Pandemonium reigned throughout the city. In the northern portion where there was no immediate danger the alarm was sounded that the water was sweeping into the city and the inhabitants, scantily clad and badly frightened, ran about the streets. Later, quiet in that section was restored.
