STEAMSHIP YAQUINA ASHORE AT HUENEME. Lies in Dangerous Position, and Will Probably Prove a Loss, That is, So Far as the Vessel's Hull is Concerned. Belief That the American Ship Samaria, Coal Laden From Seattle to San Francisco, Now Many Days Overdue, Has Gone to the Bottom. HUENEME, April 12.?A1l opinions agree that the steamer Yaquina ashore here will, so far as her hull is concerned, be a total loss. It is believed the vessel has a big hole stove near her propeller. The weather continues fine, but the yes- sel lies in dangerous proximity to the wharf, and with a sea or a west wind, threatens to go through that structure. The fear regarding a possible explo- sion of dynamite on board has sub- sided. The steamer Coos Bay arrived during the night and Captain Hall, with Agent Greenwall have, with boats and engine and derrick on the wharf, re- moved all the freight between decks, much of which is valuable. The tug Reliance, with Captain Minor Goodall on board, is due from San Fran- cisco to-morrow evening. She is fitted with powerful pumps, and will pump the water from the lower hold to permit the removal of the balance of the freight, but nothing can save the hull. THE SHIP SAMARIA. Belief That the Overdue Vessel Has Gone to the Battom. SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.?The general opinion in shipping circles is that some dire calamity has befallen the American ship Samaria, twenty-three days out from Seattle for San Francisco coal laden. Several Captains who started from Seattle at the same time time are firmly convinced that the Sa- maria is at the bottom of the sea. The master, Captain Mcßae, had on board his wife and two children. The other vessels that started in company with the Samaria made the trip in eleven or twelve days. It is known that several days after the Samaria sailed she was caught in a severe gale, which Captain Ryder of the Elwell declares was the worst he ever encountered. The Samaria was an old vessel built in INTO, and it is said she was under the disadvantage of having poor shifting boards. EVENTS ON THE TURF. Results of Yesterday's Races on the Oakland Track.

SPOKANE, April 12.?Police Officer McPhee lies in a critical condition, with a bullet wound in his neck. The dead body of Arthur Chappelle. who shot the officer, lies in the City Morgue. McPhee bad Chappelle under arrest and was taking him to the station on a charge of burglary, when the' prisoner sprang back and fired a revolver at the officer. The ball struck him in the jaw and went through his neck, lodging near the vertebrae. Chappelle lives at Dayton. "Wash., where he has a wife and five children. After shooting McPhee Chappelle ran through the city several blocks and concealed himself in an outhouse. He was pursued by Deputy Sheriff Fergu- son and a crowd of angry citizens. As the deputy pulled the door open a shot was fired inside, and the officer, thinking he was being fired upon, shot at the man inside. Chappelle fell to the floor dead. It was then seen that Chappelle had shot himself through the head. Ferguson's bullet passed through the burglar's arm and made a ih sh wound in his side. Power Works Burned. NEVADA, April 12.?The water-pow- er hoisting works at the Poorman and Hastings (Milliken Ranch) drift gravel mine on the Harmony Ridge, a mile and a half from the city, burned at 1 o'clock this morning. The fire started by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. The miners had quit work at midnight, only one man being on the premises when the fire began. A quantity of giant powder was exploded, the report being heard in this city. The loss is about $4,000, not insured. Railway Officials Visit Stockton. STOCKTON, April 12.?About a half hundred officials connected with the traffic department of the Southern Pa- cific Railroad, from all over the country, arrived here at 0 o'clock this morning by special train.

OBJECT OF HER VISIT TO THIS COUNTRY. Does Not Expect to be Restored to the Throne, But Wants Some One Else Than Dole as President. WASHINGTON, April 12.?1t is an- nounced this morning that ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, who has been visiting this country for several months, has no desire for the restoia- I ion of the monarchy in the islands. She realizes that such a thing at this late date is impossible. Could she have persuaded this Government to have personally take up her fight there might have been a chance for the re- storation of the old order of things. But after the lapse of several years the overthrow of the Republic is hopeless. It is now asserted that the mission of tha ex-Queen is simply to secure the interference of our Government in the matter of present administration in j Hawaii. The ex-Queen pronounces the I Dole Government an illegal one and j she wishes President McKinley to so j pronounce it. She says that the elec- tion in which the present officials were ; chosen was an illegal one, in that it did | not give every citizen of the islands the right to vote. Liliuokalani's plan is to have the American Government espouse her cause in so far as to order the holding of a new election in the islands. She ibelieves that such an election would ; overthrow the Dole Government, and she claims that she would then be elected President in his place. She says I that she dees not desire to be Queen I again. Those close to the McKintey admin- istration assert that the ex-Queen's mission is hopeless. They say that there is no probability that the Ameri- can Government would take such a step with reference to the Hawaiian Government. McKinley is believed to be friendly to some form of annexation or to the establishment of some kind of American protectorate, but he will not attempt to interfere with the present Hawaiian administration unless such interference would result in closer rela- tionship of some kind. The evident intention of Japan to take possession of the islands has caused some uneasiness in Washing- ton among those who favor annexation, and it is suid that prompt action should be taken by this Government to pre- vent such a calamity. It is now known here that, notwithstanding the de- mands at the time qoncerning the rea- son of the Philadelphia's hurried trip to Honolulu, that ship was really or- dered there on account of news re- ceived from the American representa- tive there calling attention to the floods of Japanese pouring into the counti-y and the evident intention of the Japan- ese to overwhelm the other people there, both native and foreign. NINE JURORS NOT ENOUGH. Supreme Court Decision in a Case Appealed From Utah. WASHINGTON, April 12.?1n the case of the American Publishing Com- pany vs. Fisher Brewing Company, ap- pealed from the Supreme Court of the Territory of Utah, the Supreme Court, through Justice Brewer, rendered an opinion holding as invalid the Terri- torial statute validating verdicts in civil cases in which only nine jurors concur. The ground on which the law was pro- Bounced objectionable is found in the seventh amendment to the Constitution and in the general law confirming the statutes of the various Territories, "so far as they authorize a uniform course of proceeding in all cases whether legal or equitable." The court expressed the opinion that uniformity was a prerequisite in all Ter- itorial cases. No opinion was expressed as to the validity of such a law under a State form of government. The case it- self involved a claim of $20,<J00. The court affirmed the decision of the Supreme Court of Washington in the cases from that State brought to enjoin the State and county author- ing a tax upon the capital stock of the ties from levying upon the safe and time locks and other personal property of the banks, for the purpose of collect- banks under the State law of 1801. It was contended that the law was in conflict with Section ."219 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States, but the court held that such was not the case. Justice Gray rendered the opinion of the court in the case of Morris L. Glad- son vs. the State of Minnesota, affirm- ing the decision of the State Supreme Court. The case involved the validity of the Minnesota State law requiring all passenger trains on State railroads to stop at County Seats which are railroad stations, which to-day's opinion af- firms. I The Supreme Court took a recess after j announcing several opinions to-day un- til next Monday, the llhh instant. The j court advanced the Texas anti-trust I cases on the docket to be heard on the ; second Monday of the next term. The i law in controversy defines trusts and de- i c lares them to be illegal. Several ar- rests were made under it, but the pris- | oners were released by the Federal \u25a0 Court on motion for habeas curpus. The i State authorities appeal to the Supreme 'Court. Edward L. Shaw filed a motion ! for a writ of certiorari to the Circuit i Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit i in the case of the Mutual Life Insurance ! Company vs. Nellie Phinney, executrix [of the estate of Guy C. Phinney, to have the case brought to the Supreme Court. : The case Involves an insurance policy of IfIOO.OOO, It was decided against the i insurance company by the California j Federal Courts. BOXER RYAN. One of the Men to Appear Before the Athletic Club. James J. Ryan, the Eastern boxer, I who is to appear before the Sacramento ' Athletic Club soon in a limited-round I match with Charles Gleason of San jFraneisro. is doing his training in this | city. He is a well-built welterweight ! and looks like a man who is capable of j giving anyone in his class a lively ar- i gument with the gloves. Gleason is a great bag-puncher, an j artistic cne, in fact. East night he gave an exhibition of his skill in this I line before the members of the club. which was greatly appreciated. He I can aim ist play a tune on the bag. A silver polish can l>e made by mix- ing a few drops of ammonia with whit- ing, and adding enough water to the whole to make it the consistency of cream. It can be. bottled, and, if corked tightly, will keep as long as de- sired. It cleans Silver without hard AMUSEMENTS. One of the severest tests of versatile capacity in a stock company of which we have had knowledge was that at the Clunie Opera-house last night, as exemplified by the presentation of "A Midnight Alarm" by the Pearson Stock Company. The round of characters was wholly different from anything in which the troupe has been seen here, with a single exception, one character being a copy of a personation in the first week of the engagement. The whole tone of the play, rnnd the entire demand upon the abilities of the com- pany were for versatile capacity, adap- tability and the taking of characters in many cases directly opposed to what one would suppose to be the taste or ability of the actor. But there was no faltering and no failure. The sensa- tional melodrama with its lurid scenes and ultra romanticism was given as easily and smoothly as if the troupe played that alone. The parts apparent- ly fitted the people as if born to them. The story is that of an effort to de- prive a child of its rights to its estate and name, the sacrifice of a young mar to save the honor of a dead brother; the heroism of a New York fireman; the true love of two devoted women despite obstacles and all man- ner of discouragements; the triumph of the right and the punishment of vil- lainy. The scenery is very handsowe, two scenes especially so; that of Brook- lyn bridge and of a drawbridge wPh a passing train saved from wreck by the courage of two girls who closed the draw in the nick of time. In the fourth act the scene is in a house of the New York Fire Department; an alarm sounds and the fire apparatus is dash- ed across the stage by two spirited horses. In a literary sense the play is weak. But its sentiment is clean, sound and strong. If the language is commonplace the action is spirited, and the thought is wholesome. W. J. Jossy as the hero makes a manly one, he is a clear and carely reader ?just a bit too rapid at times ?and invests his acting with the spirit and feeling of a trained, well balanced intelligence. He is an especially clever leading man. Mr. Morris, who, the first week of the engagement, was a young hero of grace and comeliness, last night was a jlb- bering, cruel old miser and villain of the play, and he acted it faultlessly. Mr. Brummel as the persecuted youth of the melodrama was manly, intelli- gent and painstaking. Three better men in the lead scarcely any company need wish for. Miss Foster, the sou- brette. was at her best last night. She is a charming little person, and sings and dances no better than she acts, and the latter she does with the skill and ease of an accomplished artist in her une. Mr. McAlplne, the low comedian, had a congenial part, and with Miss Foster furnished the merriment and BtnsiC of the evening, to which Mr. Adams in a negro dialect character contributed skillfully. Miss Bronson, as the heroine had not much rail up- on her ability, but made a good deal out of a rather inconsequential role. The piece was a success and will run the week through. NOBODY DARED SPEAK. The Suburbanite's Play at Whist Was Too Paralyzing. On the suburban trains running out of Chicago card playing is an acknowl- edged feature of transitory life. Some of the coaches are equipped with ta- bles, for devotee B of the game. Coming in recently a subordinate named George Affolter was called from his' newspaper to make the fourth in a game of whist, which had been inter- rupted by the departure of one of the players. The hands had been dealt around, and Affolter noting there were thirteen cards, said: "What is it? Hearts?" It happened that hearts were trumps, and an affirmative answer was given. On the first play Affolter gleefully threw away a king, followed it next with an- other high card, and was overjoyed to see that the man at his elbow was ob- liged to take the third trick, and the fourth, and the fifth, and so indefinitely. On the second hand Affolter's partner led a king, and Affolter thought they would have to take it, but, to his de- light, the opposition gathered in the trick and proceeded to harvest all the other twelve as well. Affolter was al- most hysterical with joy. His partner looked strange. Things went on in the same way for two more deals, and the Affolter fac- tion, owing to the new man's head- work, hadn't taken a trick, when at length the suffering partner said: "Say, you'll excuse me, but you play the most idiotic, outrageous, infernal game of whist that ever occurred in my experience." Affolter was dumfounded. "Whist!" he cried blankly. "Why, heavens, man. I've been playing the game of hearts as hard as I knew how." And nobody dared speak until the de- pot was reached.?Chicago Record. St. Patrick and His Foster Father. But the greatest of all Patrick's early miracles, as, indeed, it is one of the greatest of all miracles, was the re- storation to life of his foster father, the husband of his faithful nurse. The "Tripartite Life" says: He died sud- denly, at a great assembly held by the Britons, which was attended by Patrick and his nurse and foster father. Friends and relatives gathered around the dead man, lamenting his untimely end, but the nurse, bursting into tears, threw herself before Patrick and said: "Be- hold, O Fa trick, thy foster father, the bearer of thine infancy, lieth dead. Show now, therefore, on him thine en- livening virtue, even that which hath been wont to heal others." And Pat- rick, full of compassion for her grief, and for the fate of the guardian of his infancy, approached the dead man and l>egan to pray over him. He blessed him, put the sign of the cross on his head and breast, and putting his arms around his neck, he said: "Arise, and let us go home," as if the man had only been asleep. The man arose, and the whole assemblage marveled at the mir- acle, giving thanks to God for such a great manifestation of His power.?P. J. Lynch in Donahoe's. A correspondent complains in the Toronto "Globe" of the tardy develop- ment of electric power on the Cana- dian side of Niagara Falls. He con- trasts the peaceful and pastoral aspect ot the Canadian frontier with the rap- idly growing industrial settlements on the American line, and asserts that it is time for Canadian officials to treat the possibilities of the Niagara frontier from something beside the park point of view. "I want to see the lady of the house," said the wandering gentleman. "1 am she," answered the lady. "Indeed? You look so perfectly happy and independent that I hope you will excuse me taking you for the hired girl."?lndianapolis Journal. Th man who works himself to death is the one who never thinks of it. THREE TEMPTING DISHES. Serving Chicken and Soles ? Con- tributed by a Chef. Cream of chicken a la Reine (for twelve people)? Put two large chickens in a sauce pan with two carrots, two leeks, a stalk of celery', two onions, one stuck with Tine cloves, a bunch of pars- ley and eight quarts of water. Set over the fire and let boil until the chicken is done, skimming often. When done take the meat from the bones, put the boness and skin back into the sauce- pan and boil longer. Have in another sauce-pan two pints of well washed rice and three quarts of broth: season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg, and boil until the rice is thoroughly- cooked. Chop the chicken very line and mix it with the rice in* a mortar. Strain the remainder of the broth through a napkin, removing the fat. Stir broth and rice together through a fine sieve, then return to the fire until hot, but not boiling. Finish with two pints of boiling cream, a little sugar and three ounces of butter. Serve with small pieces of bread fried in butter or bits of chicken cut into dice. Fillet of sole a la Archedue (for twelve people)? Wash and thoroughly dry two medium-sized soles. Cut them in halves and remove the skin and side boners. Cut them lengthwise into small pieces that can be rolled sepa- rately, and fasten each piece with a skewer or toothpick. Put the soles into a well-buttered sauce-pan with one car- rot and one onion, chopped fine, pepper and salt, and a half pint of sauterne. Cook twenty minutes. Place the soles, when cooked, on a platter with three ounces of butter, dissolved with the juice of a half lemon. Garnish with the tails of twelve shrimps, some crawfish and twelve scallops. Add a piece of butter the size of an egg and a little anchovy sauce to the liquid in which the soles were cooked. Strain through a napkin, pour over the fish and serve very hot. Poulet a la Russia?Bone a chicken, turn it breast downward, and garnish with a dressing of foie gras. lean bacon and truffles. Season well, bind it up and cover with a band of bacon. Make a firm paste and roll large enough to envelope the chicken. Brown the paste slightly before putting the chicken in it. Cook over a slow fire for two hours. Allow the chicken to stand ten minutes before serving. Send with it to the table a ragout of truffles cut in rather large pieces and cooked with a glass of sherry wine.?Contrib- uted by R ? Latono, chef at The Gene- see, to the Buffalo Express. Literature and Hack Work. Washington has a novice in the field of literature. Tt may have been a dozen or two dozen, for that matter, probably has, but there is only one of whom the fol- lowing tale is told, and this may be vouched for. .Now, the novice has a friend, who comes down here occasionally from that heaven of the Intellectuals, Boston, and this friend had met one particular Washington friend of the novice and rather admired han, because he seemed to.be somewhat of a promising flower in the field of literature, as we know litera- ature in Washington? contrasting it with Boston. The friend was taking "pot luck" with the novice in his den one day at noon and they were talking. "I was just thinking." sighed the I novice, as he poured out a bottle of beer, " "of the dear young fellow whom you met when you broke bread with me here last." "The soulful youth," inquired the friend, "who vowed upon a stack of lilies higher than the monument that come what might come he would never degrade the sublime ideal by the gross application of his genius to hack work, as so many did?" "As I am compelled to do," sighed the novice, making a lightning calculation as to how many more verses of poetry he would have to write to pay for the beer his visitor was drinking at that very moment. "Is he the one?" asked the friend again. "He is." "To judge from your gloomy thoughts," said the friend. "I should say he had at last been forced to this ulti- mate degradation." "Worse," groaned the novice. "Could there be anything worse than hack work?" exclaimed the friend. "Yes," hoarsely replied the novice, with a weird shudder. "Hack work isn't in it a minute; he is driving a street car in Baltimore." It was a wretched kind of a pun. of course, but the friend with religious care took it back to Boston with him, and it is probably being worked there now at least ten hours a day, and boarded on beans.?Washington Star. PLAYED ANTICS ON THE ROPE. Blondin's Terrifying Performances in Midair. Public interest was aroused to a tre- mendous degree when Blondin, the rope walker, made his famous ' trip over the Niagara Falls, but Blondin did not content himself by taking the world by storm. As soon as the world was fairly his own he proceeded to knock it speech- less. It was stupendous enough that a man should walk airily over the gaping chasm, with its dizzy swirl of green water sweeping under his feet 700 feet below. That alone was suffi- cient. But that was nothing. Blondin next dressed himself up in a fantastic cutting up all sorts of monkey antics on the way, hanging by his toes, skinning the cat and other similar play capers, all in the midstream, After that he trotted gaily over his rope, wheeling a wheelbarrow before him as he went. Even when an old man, Blondin retained all the skill and nerve which enabled him to cross the Niagara several times. He retained, too, the old terrifying habit of pretend- ing to lose his footing. Some of us re- member this as one of the most awfu! impressions of our childhood. The writer of these lines has never forgot a windy day at Liverpool when Blon- din ran along a rope at a great height, the rope swaying with every gust,.and suddenly slipped, to the breathless' hor- ror of the spectators. It is a remark- able fact that, although this marvelous man had performed feats of courage and dexterity never equalled or ever appr6ached, he never had an accident of any kind. It is understood that to his earlier days Blondin made a con- siderable fortune, but lost it in some business in which he was less skillful than on the tight rope.?New York World. The late C. Jerome Cary of Milwau- kee directed that his body should be burned, that the ashes should be us. d to nourish a certain rosebud, and that the blossoms should be distributed among his friends.

STEAMSHIP YAQUINAASHORE AT HUENEME.

Lies in Dangerous Position, and WillProbably Prove a Loss,

That is, So Far as the Vessel's Hull is

Concerned.

Belief That the American Ship

Samaria, Coal Laden From Seattle

to San Francisco, Now Many Days

Overdue, Has Gone to the Bottom.

HUENEME, April 12.?A1l opinionsagree that the steamer Yaquina ashorehere will, so far as her hull is concerned,be a total loss. It is believed the vesselhas a big hole stove near her propeller.

The weather continues fine, but the yes-

sel lies in dangerous proximity to thewharf, and with a sea or a west wind,

threatens to go through that structure.

The fear regarding a possible explo-

sion of dynamite on board has sub-sided. The steamer Coos Bay arrivedduring the night and Captain Hall, withAgent Greenwall have, with boats andengine and derrick on the wharf, re-moved all the freight between decks,much of which is valuable.

The tug Reliance, with Captain MinorGoodall on board, is due from San Fran-cisco to-morrow evening. She is fittedwith powerful pumps, and will pump thewater from the lower hold to permitthe removal of the balance of thefreight, but nothing can save the hull.

THE SHIP SAMARIA.

Belief That the Overdue Vessel HasGone to the Battom.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.?Thegeneral opinion in shipping circles isthat some dire calamity has befallen theAmerican ship Samaria, twenty-threedays out from Seattle for San Francisco

coal laden. Several Captains whostarted from Seattle at the same timetime are firmly convinced that the Sa-maria is at the bottom of the sea. Themaster, Captain Mcßae, had on boardhis wife and two children. The othervessels that started in company withthe Samaria made the trip in elevenor twelve days.

It is known that several days afterthe Samaria sailed she was caught in asevere gale, which Captain Ryder of theElwell declares was the worst he everencountered. The Samaria was an oldvessel built in INTO, and it is said shewas under the disadvantage of havingpoor shifting boards.

EX-QUEEN LILIUOKALANI.

OBJECT OF HER VISIT TO THISCOUNTRY.

Does Not Expect to be Restored to the

Throne, But Wants Some One Else

Than Dole as President.

WASHINGTON, April 12.?1t is an-nounced this morning that ex-QueenLiliuokalani of Hawaii, who has beenvisiting this country for severalmonths, has no desire for the restoia-

I ion of the monarchy in the islands.She realizes that such a thing at thislate date is impossible. Could shehave persuaded this Government tohave personally take up her fight theremight have been a chance for the re-storation of the old order of things. Butafter the lapse of several years the

overthrow of the Republic is hopeless.

It is now asserted that the mission oftha ex-Queen is simply to secure theinterference of our Government in thematter of present administration in

jHawaii. The ex-Queen pronounces the

IDole Government an illegal one andjshe wishes President McKinley to sojpronounce it. She says that the elec-tion in which the present officials were

;chosen was an illegal one, in that it did| not give every citizen of the islandsthe right to vote.

Liliuokalani's plan is to have theAmerican Government espouse hercause in so far as to order the holdingof a new election in the islands. She

ibelieves that such an election would;overthrow the Dole Government, and

she claims that she would then beelected President in his place. She says

Ithat she dees not desire to be QueenI again.

Those close to the McKintey admin-istration assert that the ex-Queen'smission is hopeless. They say thatthere is no probability that the Ameri-can Government would take such astep with reference to the HawaiianGovernment. McKinley is believed tobe friendly to some form of annexationor to the establishment of some kind ofAmerican protectorate, but he will notattempt to interfere with the present

Hawaiian administration unless suchinterference would result in closer rela-tionship of some kind.

The evident intention of Japan totake possession of the islands hascaused some uneasiness in Washing-ton among those who favor annexation,and it is suid that prompt action shouldbe taken by this Government to pre-vent such a calamity. It is now knownhere that, notwithstanding the de-mands at the time qoncerning the rea-son of the Philadelphia's hurried tripto Honolulu, that ship was really or-dered there on account of news re-ceived from the American representa-tive there calling attention to the floodsof Japanese pouring into the counti-yand the evident intention of the Japan-ese to overwhelm the other peoplethere, both native and foreign.

NINE JURORS NOT ENOUGH.Supreme Court Decision in a Case

Appealed From Utah.WASHINGTON, April 12.?1n the

case of the American Publishing Com-pany vs. Fisher Brewing Company, ap-pealed from the Supreme Court of theTerritory of Utah, the Supreme Court,through Justice Brewer, rendered anopinion holding as invalid the Terri-torial statute validating verdicts in civilcases in which only nine jurors concur.

The ground on which the law was pro-Bounced objectionable is found in theseventh amendment to the Constitutionand in the general law confirming thestatutes of the various Territories, "sofar as they authorize a uniform courseof proceeding in all cases whether legalor equitable."

The court expressed the opinion thatuniformity was a prerequisite in all Ter-itorial cases. No opinion was expressedas to the validityof such a law under aState form of government. The case it-self involved a claim of $20,<J00.

The court affirmed the decision of theSupreme Court of Washington inthe cases from that State brought toenjoin the State and county author-ing a tax upon the capital stock of theties from levying upon the safe andtime locks and other personal propertyof the banks, for the purpose of collect-banks under the State law of 1801. Itwas contended that the law was inconflict with Section ."219 of the Re-vised Statutes of the United States, butthe court held that such was not the

case.Justice Gray rendered the opinion of

the court in the case of Morris L. Glad-son vs. the State of Minnesota, affirm-ing the decision of the State SupremeCourt. The case involved the validityofthe Minnesota State law requiring allpassenger trains on State railroads tostop at County Seats which are railroadstations, which to-day's opinion af-firms.

I The Supreme Court took a recess afterjannouncing several opinions to-day un-til next Monday, the llhh instant. Thejcourt advanced the Texas anti-trust

I cases on the docket to be heard on the; second Monday of the next term. Thei law in controversy defines trusts and de-ic lares them to be illegal. Several ar-rests were made under it, but the pris-

| oners were released by the Federal\u25a0 Court on motion for habeas curpus. Thei State authorities appeal to the Supreme'Court. Edward L. Shaw filed a motion! for a writ of certiorari to the Circuiti Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuiti in the case of the Mutual Life Insurance! Company vs. Nellie Phinney, executrix[of the estate of Guy C. Phinney, to havethe case brought to the Supreme Court.

: The case Involves an insurance policy ofIfIOO.OOO, It was decided against theiinsurance company by the CaliforniajFederal Courts.

AMUSEMENTS.

One of the severest tests of versatilecapacity in a stock company of whichwe have had knowledge was that atthe Clunie Opera-house last night, asexemplified by the presentation of "AMidnight Alarm" by the Pearson StockCompany. The round of characters waswholly different from anything inwhich the troupe has been seen here,with a single exception, one characterbeing a copy of a personation in thefirst week of the engagement. Thewhole tone of the play, rnnd the entiredemand upon the abilities of the com-pany were for versatile capacity, adap-tability and the taking of charactersin many cases directly opposed to whatone would suppose to be the taste orability of the actor. But there was nofaltering and no failure. The sensa-tional melodrama with its lurid scenesand ultra romanticism was given aseasily and smoothly as if the troupeplayed that alone. The parts apparent-ly fitted the people as if born to them.The story is that of an effort to de-prive a child of its rights to its estateand name, the sacrifice of a young marto save the honor of a dead brother;the heroism of a New Yorkfireman; the true love of two devotedwomen despite obstacles and all man-ner of discouragements; the triumphof the right and the punishment of vil-lainy. The scenery is very handsowe,two scenes especially so; that of Brook-lyn bridge and of a drawbridge wPha passing train saved from wreck bythe courage of two girls who closed thedraw in the nick of time. In the fourthact the scene is in a house of the NewYork Fire Department; an alarmsounds and the fire apparatus is dash-ed across the stage by two spiritedhorses. In a literary sense the play isweak. But its sentiment is clean,sound and strong. If the language iscommonplace the action is spirited,and the thought is wholesome. W. J.Jossy as the hero makes a manly one,he is a clear and carely reader ?just abit too rapid at times ?and invests hisacting with the spirit and feeling of atrained, well balanced intelligence. Heis an especially clever leading man.Mr. Morris, who, the first week of theengagement, was a young hero of graceand comeliness, last night was a jlb-bering, cruel old miser and villain ofthe play, and he acted it faultlessly.Mr. Brummel as the persecuted youth

of the melodrama was manly, intelli-gent and painstaking. Three bettermen in the lead scarcely any companyneed wish for. Miss Foster, the sou-brette. was at her best last night. Sheis a charming little person, and sings

and dances no better than she acts, andthe latter she does with the skill andease of an accomplished artist in herune. Mr. McAlplne, the low comedian,had a congenial part, and with MissFoster furnished the merriment andBtnsiC of the evening, to which Mr.Adams in a negro dialect charactercontributed skillfully. Miss Bronson,

as the heroine had not much rail up-on her ability, but made a good dealout of a rather inconsequential role.The piece was a success and will runthe week through.

NOBODY DARED SPEAK.

The Suburbanite's Play at WhistWas Too Paralyzing.

On the suburban trains running out

of Chicago card playing is an acknowl-edged feature of transitory life. Someof the coaches are equipped with ta-

bles, for devotee B of the game.Coming in recently a subordinate

named George Affolter was called from

his' newspaper to make the fourth ina game of whist, which had been inter-rupted by the departure of one of theplayers. The hands had been dealtaround, and Affolter noting there werethirteen cards, said: "What is it?Hearts?"

It happened that hearts were trumps,

and an affirmative answer was given.On the first play Affolter gleefully threwaway a king, followed it next with an-other high card, and was overjoyed to

see that the man at his elbow was ob-liged to take the third trick, and thefourth, and the fifth, and so indefinitely.

On the second hand Affolter's partnerled a king, and Affolter thought theywould have to take it, but, to his de-light, the opposition gathered in thetrick and proceeded to harvest all theother twelve as well. Affolter was al-most hysterical with joy. His partnerlooked strange.

Things went on in the same way fortwo more deals, and the Affolter fac-tion, owing to the new man's head-work, hadn't taken a trick, when atlength the suffering partner said:

"Say, you'll excuse me, but you playthe most idiotic, outrageous, infernalgame of whist that ever occurred in myexperience."

Affolterwas dumfounded. "Whist!"he cried blankly. "Why, heavens, man.I've been playing the game of hearts ashard as I knew how."

And nobody dared speak until the de-pot was reached.?Chicago Record.

St. Patrick and His Foster Father.But the greatest of all Patrick's early

miracles, as, indeed, it is one of thegreatest of all miracles, was the re-storation to life of his foster father,the husband of his faithful nurse. The"Tripartite Life" says: He died sud-denly, at a great assembly held by theBritons, which was attended by Patrickand his nurse and foster father. Friendsand relatives gathered around the deadman, lamenting his untimely end, butthe nurse, bursting into tears, threwherself before Patrick and said: "Be-hold, O Fa trick, thy foster father, thebearer of thine infancy, lieth dead.Show now, therefore, on him thine en-livening virtue, even that which hathbeen wont to heal others." And Pat-rick, full of compassion for her grief,and for the fate of the guardian of hisinfancy, approached the dead man andl>egan to pray over him. He blessedhim, put the sign of the cross on hishead and breast, and putting his armsaround his neck, he said: "Arise, andlet us go home," as if the man had onlybeen asleep. The man arose, and thewhole assemblage marveled at the mir-acle, giving thanks to God for such agreat manifestation of His power.?P.J. Lynch in Donahoe's.

Literature and Hack Work.Washington has a novice in the field

of literature.

Tt may have been a dozen or twodozen, for that matter, probably has,but there is only one of whom the fol-lowing tale is told, and this may bevouched for.

.Now, the novice has a friend, whocomes down here occasionally from thatheaven of the Intellectuals, Boston, andthis friend had met one particularWashington friend of the novice andrather admired han, because he seemedto.be somewhat of a promising flower inthe field of literature, as we know litera-ature in Washington? contrasting itwith Boston.

The friend was taking "pot luck" withthe novice in his den one day at noonand they were talking.

"I was just thinking." sighed theI novice, as he poured out a bottle of beer,

" "of the dear young fellow whom you

met when you broke bread with me herelast."

"The soulful youth," inquired thefriend, "who vowed upon a stack oflilies higher than the monument thatcome what might come he would neverdegrade the sublime ideal by the grossapplication of his genius to hack work,as so many did?"

"As I am compelled to do," sighed thenovice, making a lightning calculationas to how many more verses of poetryhe would have to write to pay for thebeer his visitor was drinking at thatvery moment.

"Is he the one?" asked the friendagain.

"He is."

"To judge from your gloomythoughts," said the friend. "I should sayhe had at last been forced to this ulti-mate degradation."

"Worse," groaned the novice."Could there be anything worse than

hack work?" exclaimed the friend."Yes," hoarsely replied the novice,

with a weird shudder. "Hack work isn'tin it a minute; he is driving a street carin Baltimore."

It was a wretched kind of a pun. ofcourse, but the friend with religious caretook it back to Boston with him, and itis probably being worked there now atleast ten hours a day, and boarded onbeans.?Washington Star.

PLAYED ANTICS ON THE ROPE.Blondin's Terrifying Performances in

Midair.

Public interest was aroused to a tre-mendous degree when Blondin, therope walker, made his famous '

tripover the Niagara Falls, but Blondindid not content himself by taking theworld by storm.

As soon as the world was fairly hisown he proceeded to knock it speech-less. It was stupendous enough thata man should walk airily over thegaping chasm, with its dizzy swirl ofgreen water sweeping under his feet700 feet below. That alone was suffi-cient. But that was nothing. Blondinnext dressed himself up in a fantasticcutting up all sorts of monkey anticson the way, hanging by his toes,skinning the cat and other similarplay capers, all in the midstream,After that he trotted gaily over hisrope, wheeling a wheelbarrow beforehim as he went. Even when an oldman, Blondin retained all the skill andnerve which enabled him to cross theNiagara several times. He retained,too, the old terrifying habit of pretend-ing to lose his footing. Some of us re-member this as one of the most awfu!impressions of our childhood. Thewriter of these lines has never forgota windy day at Liverpool when Blon-din ran along a rope at a great height,the rope swaying with every gust,.andsuddenly slipped, to the breathless' hor-ror of the spectators. It is a remark-able fact that, although this marvelousman had performed feats of courageand dexterity never equalled or everappr6ached, he never had an accidentof any kind. It is understood that tohis earlier days Blondin made a con-siderable fortune, but lost it in somebusiness in which he was less skillfulthan on the tight rope.?New YorkWorld.
