B REN HAM, TEXAS, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 6, 1893.
NO. 118
Died In a Strunge Land.
During the Bnrnum & Bailey circua
parade Saturday morning a pretty Ital-
ian girl, Celeste Chiesa, appeared on one
of the floats as a Chinese woman. She
was dressed in rose colored tights, and
very thin clothing covered the upper
part of her body. Celeste was only 15
years old. She was much pleased with
her exalted position and scattered smiles
all along the route until as the proces-
sion noared the close of its journoy the
chijl wind began to pierce her frail form.
She shivered like an aspen leaf. Return-
ing to the Garden she complained of se-
vere pains in her chest, but stuck brave-
ly to her work and filled her part as a
ballet dancer in the spectacle of "Colum-
bus and the Discovery of America."
She grew worse as the evening wore
on and was taken home by Tody Ham-
ilton in a hack to the humble apartments
at 226 Thompson street, where she
roomed with several other members of
the troop. She suffered intensely dur-
ing the night and died next day of pneu-
monia before a physician could be sum-
moned. She came here three weeks ago
on the Paris with Kimlfy's corpsof dan-
cers. Her home was in Turin. She had
no friends in this city.—Now York Ad-
vertiser.
Forbidden to Swear hy ti Chicken's Head.
The trial of William Walsh, charged
with robbery in the first degree, was be-
gun in the criminal court yesterday. The
defendant was represented by Ben Clark.
An amusing scene ensued when Claris
demanded that Jeu Hon Yee, a Chinese
interpreter, who was present to interpret
the Chinese witnesses, be sworn in the
Chinese fashion, and that the same rule
be pursued in regard to all the other wit-
nesses. Judge Edmunds inquired what
was the Chinese oath, and Clark replied
that the head of a live chicken must be
cut off in the Chinaman's presence while
he uttered certain words, unintelligible
to the American ear, which signified that
he hoped he would be treated in the same
way if he told a lie while giving his tes-
timony. Humane Agent Holmes here
interposed and objected to any chicken
decapitation on the ground of cruelty.
Judge Edmunds stated that he could
think of no precedent in the law books
for such a proceeding, and did not think
he would countenance it. Judge Ed-
munds, after explaining to the China-
men that they were liable to be sent to
the penitentiary if they did not tell the
truth, allowed the trial to proceed.—St.
Louis Republic.
Another Authentic Portrait of Columbus.
An alleged discovery at Naples of a
beautiful authentic portrait by Titian
of Christopher Columbus has caused a
great sensation there. Our correspond-
ent writes: The full length life size por-
trait was shown to me by Signor Canna-
vina, the antiquarian, who purchased it
from Count Aldobrandi at Bologna. The
whole, with the exception of the face
and hands, had been coarsely painted
over. This extraneous coat being re-
moved, the figure in the uniform of a
Spanish admiral was revealed.
The pose and coloring are very quiet;
the face is that of a man with hair just
turninggray; the eyesare blue,thoughtful
and even sad; the mouth is firmly cut,
and he wears a pointed, short blond beard
and mustache. On the tapering fingers
are three massive rings. The canvas is
Of a peculiar twilled kind. Bignor Can-
navina possesses documents wliich vouch
for the authenticity of the picture. It is
to be sent for exhibition to Chicago.—
London News.
Surprised While Stealing a Ride.
A man named Edward Fuller of Phila-
delphia tried to steal a ride on a Penn-
sylvania railroad passenger train from
the Broad street station, intending to
get off at a subnrban station. Instead
of gettthg on a local train he boarded
the Cincinnati and St. Louis express,
getting between the tender and baggage
car. Ho could not jump off and was*
sitting on the platform when the loco-
motive seooped up water from the tank
between the rails. As the tank in the
tender filled up it overflowed and almost
drowned Fuller, who to escape opened
the baggage car door and entered the
car. The huge volume of water poured
in after him and deluged the car, de-
stroying the contents of a number of
trunks. Fuller was arrested when the
train reached Harrisburg and is now in
jail for malicious mischief.—Cor. Phila-
delphia Telegraph.

Talmagc's Tabernacle's Debt
The Rev. Dr. T. De Witt
Sunday read from the pulpit of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle an offer to pay the
last $10,000 of the floating debt of the
church as soon as the remainder had
been raised. The floating indebtedness
amounts to $55,000 and must be paid by
June 1'.—New York Advertiser.

For children who

As an appetizing,
restorative tonic,
it sets at work all the processes of digestion
and nutrition, rouses every organ into nat-
ural action, and brings back health and
strength. In recovering from " grippe," or in
convalescence from pneumonia, fevers, and
other wasting diseases, it speedily and surely
invigorates and builds up the whole system.

BIJRSTED THE BOTTOM as
Leaving No Stone I'ntu rnoa.
"Take all my beard off and givo me a
short hair cut," said the man in tho ad-1
joining chair as he threw himself upon j
tho mercy of tho razor wielder.
"What, take off all dat fine beard?" in- j
quired the barber in astonishment.
"Yes," replied the customer. "I have |
been cultivating this beard for over 20 j
years, and I hate to part with it. It must
go, as I am after a job in the interior de-
partment, and I got a straight tip from
a Georgia friend that Hoke Smith is par-
tial to men who do not wear any hair on
their faces. Take it all off," ho added
as he leaned back in the chair and in-
dulged in mental speculation over his
prospects for obtaining employment in
Undo Sam's vineyard. — Washington

Gentlemkn—I feel it my duty to inform
?ou of the cure your wonderful medicine,
'. P. P., wrought in my case. I have suffer-
ed for two years with dyspepsia and Malaria
in the worst form, and was a daily sufferer
from sick headache. My bowels did not act
but twice a week and frequently only once a
week. I could not retain hrdf I ate and my
stomach was always uncomfortably heavy; I
tried pills, all kinds of medicines, but only
found temporary relief in them; I was des-
pondent and was hoping to soon find relief
in death.
Seeing your P. P. P. adve tisement I decid-
ed to try it, and requested Dr. Peak 'O get
me a bottle; I have taken two bottles and
will soon Ret another, and I can now eat in
peace and enjoy everything, md c»n sleep
like a top. My headaches have ceased and
my bowels are regular. I would advise ?!l
sufferers like myself to give P. P. P. a trial,
and they will write you as I have, that P. P.
P. beats any medicine on the market.
Yours truly,
