Hsv Hvraaamn Once Took am Im promptu Bath A Mean Triolc That W Perpetrated on De Criy Feat .That Becltoaed Death. Professional magicians are invariably very smart and cautious individuals. Their tricks are -generally well practiced in private before being introduced to the public, which no doubt accounts for the fact that they are, as a general rule, carried out successfully. In spite of their elaborate precautions to avoid fail ure, however, some of the cleverest con jurers occasionally meet with mishaps during the course of their performances and thus treat their audiences to some startling or amusing unrehearsed effects. Herrmann frequently introduced into his entertainment the trick of producing two large goldfish bowls. Advancing to ward the footlights with a large shawl, he would wave the latter mysteriously In the air and suddenly produce from its folds a glass bowl filled with water, in which a number of live goldfish were complacently swimming. This he would place upon the table and repeat the wav ing motion with the shawl until he had produced another similar bowl of gold fish. ' 1 A complete examination of the work? ing of this trick need not be given here. Suffice it to say that it was accomplished by previously covering each of the bowls with an India rubber cover, which pre vented the water from escaping when the bowl was inverted. One of these bowls was concealed under each armpit, underneath the vest. The bowls were, of course, easily taken from their hiding places tinder cover of the shawl, the India rubber cover being removed beneath the cloth before the bowl was exposed to the view of the spectators. The trick -was a very effective one and rarely failed to elicit a round of applause, but one evening a ludicrous mishap oc curred, which not only spoiled the trick, but also resulted in the complete discom fiture of Herrmann. On this occasion he had just succeeded in producing the first bowl when by some unfortunate mischance the cover slipped off the sec ond, with the natural result that the con tents of the bowl were impartially dis tributed about the luckless performer's body, filling his shoes and thoroughly saturating his clothes. It is almost su perfluous to mention that this incident concluded the evening's entertainment so far as Herrmann was concerned. - Few modern prestidigitators employ confederates during their" performances, for, although such assistants can general ly be relied upon to play their parts satis factorily, yet at times, through accident or design, (hey fail to carry out their instructions, and so ruin instead of assist - the trick in which they take part. Some years ago, for example, De Grisy. a, very popular performer; included in his reper tory a trick in which a confederate was instructed to hand up an imitation gold ring when De Grisy required it. The magician got through his performance all right until he came to the aforemen tioned ring trick. Stepping among the spectators, he blandly requested the loan of a ring, taking care, of course, to select the one offered by his confederate. With this ring he performed an excellent trick (the details of which need not be describ ed) and then smilingly handed the ring back to his confederate. The latter ex amined it with' apparent surprise, and, assuming an indignant air, asked: "What does this mean? I gave you a valuable gold ring, set with diamonds, and you return me a worthless imita tion." , The wizard was naturally astounded by this impudent assertion, but it was obvious that he could not expose the confederate without also exposing him self. In an undertone he entreated the man to cease his foolish conduct, but he would not be silenced until De Grisy had reimbursed his supposed loss. The con federate then left the theater and was never seen there again, but it afterward transpired that a rival magician had bribed the man to thus bring about the ridicule of De Grisy. Among the whole-category of mishaps, however, none has proved fatal except ing those caused through the "bullet trick," a sensational conjuring feat which has brought fame to dozens of conjurers and death to at least six per formers. For the benefit of those who have never witnessed this trick" we had better explain that it consists in the per former loading a pistol with a leaden bullet and allowing one of the specta tors to fire at him, when he catches the bullet between his teeth. The secret of this trick lies in the fact that in loading the pistol the magician deftly substitutes a bullet made of black lead for the lead en bullet. The black lead bullet is crush ed to a powder with the ramrod, while the genuine bullet is secretly slipped into the conjurer's mouth as he walks up the stage.' Beautifully simple, isn't it? Yet in spite of its simplicity accidents, will happen. Some time ago a conjurer was present ing the trick in a provincial theater, and, as usual, he handed the pistol to a young man for the purpose of firing. While the conjurer was returning to the stage the man who was holding the pistol in troduced another bullet into it. The pis tol was then discharged, and the bullet crashed through the brain of the unfor tunate conjurer, who fell dead upon the Stage. Many of the spectators fainted at the horrible sight, and the man who had fired the pistol was immediately ar rested, but as he succeeded in convincing the jury that he was not aware he was doing anything wrong he was acquitted. Still more tragic was another case in which an ingenious performer resolved to introduce a variation of the bullet trick. He "made up" to represent the historic William Tell, and each night he would shoot an apple from the head of his son, the bullet being afterward found imbedded in the apple: The feat was, of course, nothing more- than a trick. But one evening, through some terrible mistake, the leader bullet was fired from the gun, the boy on whose head the apple rested being killed outright The unhap py conjurer was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for homicide, and shortly after his release from prison he died in a lunatic asylum. London Tit-Bits. A Clever Lunatic. 'A funny thing." savs the Kennebec (Me.) Journal, "happened in the amuse ment hall at the insane hospital one even ing during a minstrel entertainment. One of the soloists had just sung a song, to which he received a generous encore. In responding he stepped to the front of the stage and said, 'I will now sing you that beautiful song entitled "The Lost Sheep on the Mountain." ' "The prelude was played and the sineer had just straightened up and inflated his lungs as if to begin when one of the fe male patients in the audience jumped to her feet and shouted in a shrill voice: "Ba-a-a-ahl There, I got ahead of ye that time, didn't I?' VAnd she had. for 'Ba a-a-ah!' Was lust what the singer was going to say had she given him a chance.

EXCITEMENT AT M'KEESPORT Report That Nef roes Are Cooing to Take the Places of Strikers Trouble There is Feared By Telegraph to the Morning 8 tar. Pittsburg, August 8. A report was received in McKeesport to-day to the effect that two car-loads of negroes were coming from Virginia to take the places of strikers at the Demmler plate mill. Tbe strikers called a meeting immediately and appointed a commit tee of twenty men to go and meet the train at Connellsville and if possible persuade the men to return to Virginia. Great excitement prevails in the town and trouble is feared if the committee is unable to stop the negroes at Con nellsville and they . should come on through to McKeesport Warned to Leave Cleveland. Cleveland, O., Aug. 3. As a re sult that negroes are brought into the city to supplant white workmen at the Newbursr mills of the United states Steel Corporation, the idle plants are now being picketed by members of the Amalgamated Association. Five plants are now idle, the company having re cently closed down the 9, 12 and 18 inch mills for the announced purpose of making repairs. The pickets late last night found a dozen colored men asleep near the mills. Upon being aroused the negroes declared they bad no intention of going to work. They were advised that their presence might cause trouble and that they had better leave the city at once. The negroes lost no time in getting out of town. General Strike Will Be Ordered, tt is learned to night that no time will be lost by the Amalgamated As sociation in completing its plans for a continuation of the struggle, and a meetiDg of the executive board will be held at headquarters to morrow for this purpose. It is considered prob able by all interested that the strike order will become general, calling out the union men in the National 8teel Company, the Federal Steel Company and the National Tube Company. But nothing definite, however, can be known until after the meeting to morrow. All the workers seen. to night are confident that the order will be issued at once, and expect the re sponse to be general and hearty. Sir. Cpodniuht'n fletirlnB Act.

One by one the bedclothes follow ed, and. with a little help from the at tendants, -he was careful to place the bolster and pillow in the right positions. A light was next brought in by the horse, but, us he raced around the ring, it went out. He promptly fetched another and lighted a caudle by his bedside. After putting out the match or torch by kneel ing down and knocking it on the sawdust, he laid down to rest, fixst of all putting his light out by knocking over the wash stand on which it rested.

Mast Exist Between the Magistrates and tbe Native Christians. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Aug. ,3. The , State Department has received a copy of a remarkable proclamation -issued by Governor Yuan, of Shantung, on June 7th,' defining the relations that must exist between the magistrates and the native Christians. Tbe proclamation deals with the subject in language so energetic as to make it evident that the Chinese magistrates will not allow the missionaries to exercise the same influence as heretofore in local affairs or in any other than religious matters in the future. Governor Yuan states that he has received many reports from Chinese officials that "unworthy members of the church were practicing their relig ion simply for the protection which it affords them, and were lightly setting aside the law of the land and seeking occasion for quarrel, and that such af fairs were daily increasing in num ber." . He points out that "the missionaries are merely preachers of religion. They have no authority whatever to inter fere in the affairs of the Chinese people nor any power to exercise official functions, as everybody ought to know." Therefore, the Governor enjoins his magistrates to make no distinctions between church and people; to let no one else presume to exercise his au thority for controlling the p?op!e. Sajs he: "The most important matter is that justice should be done to both sides. It makes no difference whether the people annoy the Christians, or the Christians annoy the people; let there be a clear distinction made between the crooked and the straight, and it will then be impossible that any occa sion for interference should arise." SCHLrJY COURT OP INQUIRY. Tbe Third Member to Supply Kimberly's Place Not Yet Selected. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Aug. 3. Acting Secretary Hackett had expected to be able to announce the name of the third member of the Schley court of inquiry to-day, but could, not do so up to the time the department closed. Never theless, it -is surmised that he had heard from at least one of the rear ad mirals he has addressed on the sub ject and that has communicated the results to .secretary Long and will await his pleasure before making any announcement. Secretary Long has expressly delegated thia task of 'making a selection to acting Secretary Hack ett, but as a matter of courtesy it , is probable that he would ba acquainted with the choice before it is made pub lic. Judge Advocate General Lemly left to-day on his annual vacation to New England to be gone a month, but while away he will keep in touch with the case as far as he can con veniently do so and will be the direct ing mind should any question arise requiring a legal decision.

Town meeting is a great forum fop the training of oratory. . . Some of this oratory is of the whang doodle sort, but it is usually the kind that gets there with both feet. Why, my friend, I have seeiTin a Maine town meeting some old man struggle to his feet, shuck off his 'mangy buff'ler coat and commence to fan the air with his tongue in a fashion to astonish the chap who thinks that oratory is necessarily confined to congress. The topics treated are not of the sort that inspire the higher flights of eloquence. The hottest fights usually occur over the distribution of the road money or on the question of the school committeeman. But all the flow of language is there. - Down in the state legislature one ses sion, I remember, a certain old fellow with a luxuriant whisker sat silent all the session in a rear seat. Young legal sprouts, old lawyers, slick business men, had been doing the talking for the crowd all along. One day the old gentleman arose and remarked "Mr. Speaker" in a husky tone. No one paid any attention to him. But when he was recognized he cleared his throat with a mighty blast from his lungs, and then he waded into the topic that was being discussed no matter what it was, I've forgotten. But it was something on which that old man was posted. And he knew how to talk on it too. His voice rang like a clarion. Tho members and the loungers came run ning in from all about. All the time the old gentleman waxed more and more elo quent, more and more intense. He stuck one hand under his coattails and prome naded np and down the aisle. One hand was wriggling aloft ot the end of his arm a windmill pumping lan guage from that apparently inexhaustible fountain below. He was nejrer at n loss for words. He thundered in rounded pe riods, ne threw facts and figures, he followed them with argument and illus tration, and to close he threw a match into a whole collection of oratorical fire works, and, oh, my sakes, how they did splutter and fizzle and cracke and detonate! He sat down amid a tumult of cheering and applause. At recess the speaker of the house hunted up the representative from the town adjoining that of the old man. "For heaven's sake, where did he learn to talk?" asked the speaker. "Town meetin," said the neighbor briefly. "They've had a ro'd fight on down in that old critter's town for about 15 years, and every voter in the place has talked so much that he's got to be a reg'- lar Daniel Webster. That old feller there ain't by no means tho best in the lot There ain't any especial credit due 'em. They've had to learn to talk in self de fense." Lewiston Journal.
