The results of a bombardment by modern warships are exhibited in the ruins of the palace and forts of Zan— zibar. Nothing of the kind has taken place since the bombardment of Alex- andria, fourteen years ago, and as that is a period more than sufiicient for warships to become obsolete, the Zan- zibar incident may be considered the first illustration of the powers of the ships of to-day. ‘ In less than forty minutes the ab- solute ruin depicted by the photographs reproduced in the Sunday Journal-was effected. The palace and the forts of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan of Zanzibar were in that time reduced to dust and broken stones. It was child’s play for the British warships engaged. =3? ZANZIBAR’S wnECKED CASTLE. A few months ago this Sultan, by name Mohammed bin Thwain, died. The succession is not fixed in Orien- tal as in European countries, and in accordance with tradition Seyyid Kha- lid gin Bhargash, his cousin and most powerful near relation, seized the throne. He also set the garrisons of the palace and forts in order and pre- pared to rule with a strongshand. This did not suit the English, who appointed Seyyid Hamoud, another cousin of the late Sultan and their obedient servant, to the throne. Two British cruisers, the Racoon and the Philomel, were on the scene and ordered the new Sultan to get out. He refused very defiantly to do so. The English ships waited for the St. George, a powerful battleship, and the flagship on the South African station, and for the cruisers Thrush and Spar. row. The Sultan hurled defiance at his foes. Precisely at the hour fixed the ships opened fire. The Racoon had the first shot, and struck one of the tow— ers of the palace with a shot from one of her six-inch guns. Instantly the Sul- tan’s plucky gunners replied from all quarters. But the missiles either mis- sed or failed to injure the ironclad. The five British ships then began an incessant cannonade. Twelve-inch, six-inch and small rapid—fire guns poured a destructive fire on the antique Zanzibar fortifications. The walls crumbled away steadily. It was no great feat Of arms on the part of the British, but it is claimed that their marksmanship was good. For exactly thirty-seven minutes the shower of shot was poured on the pal- ace. The British fired 1,382 shells. The Sultan and his soldiers were then obliged to run. They had stuck to their places until only a few pieces of tottering walls were left. "The terrible results of the bom- bardment were seen on going ashore,” writes a correspondent who was pre- sent. “The Palace square was strewn with wreckage, and amid the debris lay the dead. some even in the’ burning matter. Everywhere were fragments ——here and there horrible protrusions— which only Zola could describe. Five hundred were killed and wounded— the greater part of the former. All Loyal to the Flag. There was a touching scene at the conclusion of Senator J. B. Gordon’s lecture on the “Last Days of the Con- federacy," before the Lincoln Club of Rochester. General Gordon spoke for two and a ha‘f hours, under appeals to “Go on; go on.” In conclusion he said: “As I stand here tonight in your presence and in the presence of the great God who is the judge of us all, as the selected chief of all the living Confederate soldiers, I want to present to you my honor, the honor of all the living Confederates, the honor of a great people, that we are ready to join with you in Waving aloft this proud banner [herehe caught up the Ameri- can flag from the table and held it above his head], and we join with you all who love this flag in saying that, by God’s help, there shall never come to it one blot or stain; that as long as the ages remain that flag shall be the most proud and potent emblem of hu- man freedom in all this world.” The large audience arose as one man and fairly went wild with enthusiasm. 01d soldiers, with empty sleeves and hobbling on crutches, rushed forward with tears streaming down their cheeks and greeted their former foe. General Gordon was much affected. The Crealn VVas Bought. The other evening quite a chill was In the air, but George ventured out on Washington street with his girl. “The night is chilly,’ he said, with a little shiver. “If you were more warm- ly clad, I would ask you to have some Ice cream.” “I am not at all cold; to be sure I might have thrown something heavier over my shoulders; but, Georgie, dear, think how warmly I am wrapped up in you.” ° ' At this George’s fears gave way, and a few minutes later a smartly dressed waiter was deferentially inclining his ear.—Roxbury Gazette. “Hello, Blufijyl You didn‘t get around last night to hear your wife’s excellent lecture on the faith cure.” “No, I was laid up at home with the ‘iel: headache.”—Detroit Free Press. $10,000 FOR ms “ran." Young Thorne Ran Ova! o Girl Cyclist ~ and Now His Father Will Pay. BROOKLYN, Dec. 5.—lr the example of, the Long Island courts is followed, these people who now enjoy runniag down bi- cycle riders ,will ”not find the fun quite so jolly in the future. A case has just been decided, that of Frances Dougherty, the 12-year-old daugh- ter of former'Assistant Postmistress Mrs. Ciara Dougherty of Garden City. She was riding her bicycle at the Queens county fair grounds, Mineola, on Sept. 12 last, when she , was run down by William Thorne, the son of a. wealthy hotel keeper of Roslyn, Who was driving a. spirited horse. Sheriff Henry Doht and his jury of Queens county, which has just been inves- tigating the case, have given Miss Dough- erty a verdict of $10,000 for the damages which she received. The injuries to the young woman were the result of extreme carelessness on the part of Thorne, for the way was perfectly clear, and he could easily have avoided her. He drove his horse at an excessive rate of speed and struck the girl without any warning whatever, throwing her from her wheel and breaking her leg in two places, besides inflicting other serious bodily injuries, which have kept her con- fined at home ever since. It is said by the physicians who have at- tended her that Miss Dougherty’s injuries will permanently disable her. Many accidents of this kind have hap- pened to bicycle riders, whose rights upon the road are very seldom recognized by a certain class of drivers of vehicles. The fact that very few who have caused in- juries in this way have been punished by the law has made these accidents very com- mon, but if the courts would take the steps which have been followed in Queens coun- ty there is every reason to believe that the danger from this careless driving would be abated. ‘ In the present case young Thorne has left Queens county since the proceedings were instituted against him, but it is be- lieved that his father will settle the verdict. A TERRITORIAL CONTEST. Election of a. Delegate For a Proposed Seat In Congress In Doubt. MUSCOGEE, I. T., Dec. 5.——Should the Indian Territory be allowed a delegate in congress there will be a contest as to who will be awarded the seat, there being a. dis— agreement as to the result of the recent election. Indian Agent D. M. Wisdom has issued a certificate of election to George E. Nelson, National Democrat, of Muscogee, as delegate. Colonel Thomas Marcum, regular Democrat, of this city, also received a certificate from the Indian agent, show- ing that he had received the majority of votes cast at the late delegate election, but the omission from his ballots of the words “Fpr delegate to fill existing vacancy,” which were placed on the Nelson ballots, entitles Mr. Nelson, according to the de- cision of the Indian agent, to represent the territory in congress if the delegate is al- lowed at all. Albert Aronson Dead. NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-—-A1bert Aronson, manager of the Bijou theater, was taken ill late last night and died at his home, 213 West Forty-fourth street, today. Mr. Aronson, who was a brother of Rudolph Aronson, for a long time manager of the Casino, left the Bijou theater last night a few minutes before 10 o’clock. His brother and two other men accompanied him to a. cafe. Albert was seized first with a wheez- ing in the throat and then with coughing. He clutched at his throat, then at his breast and at length fell. He never ral— lied. Prince Louis Returns to Italy. HALIFAX, Dec. 5.—The Italian cruiser Cristoforo Colombo, having on board the Prince of Savoy, has sailed for Gibraltar. She will touch at the Azores on the way. Prince Louis, during his short stay here, did not make himself very popular, mak- ing but few visits ashore and declining to attend dinner at General Montgomery Moore’s. The latter episode caused con- siderable talk in club circles. The Baltimore and Ohio Report. BALTIMORE, Dec. 5.-—-The report of Stephen Little, the expert accountant, to the B. and O. reorganization committee was made public today. It contains a mass of figures showing the financial status of the system up to Nov. 30, 1895. He finds an overstatement of the net income amounting to $2,721,067.81 from June 30, 1891, to June 30, 1895. Death During an Initiation. MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 5.——Charles Wetter of Winthrop, Minn, while undergoing the ceremony of initiation into the Order of the Mystic Shrine at the Masonic temple here, fell dead. The services were abrupt- ly terminated, and four physicians, includ- ing the coroner, were summoned. They decided that death was due to valvular dis- ease of the heart. A iféifi'irifiéié’izh'mng.

Americans Take Kindly to Foreign Actors, \Vhether of the Legitimate or Vande- ville—Clssy Fitzgerald Makes Another Broad-gauge Bid for Attention. The Americans seem to be gone on foreign actors of both sexes, and whether in the legitimate or illegiti- mate, we show marked partiality to the stars from over the pond. John Hare is the first of the former class to arrive this season. Mr. Hare’s experience here last winter was of a curious kind. He came here with a London reputation of many years’ standing. He played at Abbey’s thea- tre in a drama which won little favor, and there were few indications at the ‘ outset of his visit here that he would ever find popularity in this country. The succeeding play in which he act- ed was a piece already familiar to New York audiences, and there was little belief that he would succeed in gaining the approval that London had given him for so many years. But the result proved how uncertain theat- rical predictions are likely to be. From the night he acted first in “A Pair of Spectacles” his success here was assured. His audiences in- :reased steadily in size, and he re- turned to New York later in the season when his popularity proved even greater. 0n the night of his last ap- pearance here the large audience re- mained in the theatre until he an- swered their applause with a speech. In it he referred to a caricature of him which Edwin Abbey had drawn at a dinner given to the actor on the / ‘nk ‘ n“\\ ‘o'h- “u—__ \U\\\ .\ \ I ..\ I or}; "p JOHN HARE. eve of his departure from London. It wasfi‘a picture of Mr. Hare walking down the gangplank of the steamer with a string of hearts and bags of American dollars over his shoulder, which he had brought back as the re- sult of his visit to this country. “I may not be taking 'back so many of the dollars,” Mr. Hare said, in con- cluding his speech of thanks, “but I believe from- the appreciation I have received here that I may be justified in claiming that I am carrying back some of the hearts with me.” Mr. Hare was quite right, and he had gained here under the most unpromis- lng circumstances a public which is glad to welcome him back. Since the advent of the Barrison sis- ters, with their much advertised Frenchy ways, Cissy Fitzgerald has been pondering as to what she could do to keep herself to the fore. Cissy has been slowly sinking, since that wink carried her successfully into an amazing vogue and kept her there for a year, down to neglect and obliv- Ion. If she wants to be noticed at all new it must be through some striking exploit of her charms. She has made the exploit, but it is doubtful whether or not the public has responded. She dances at Koster & Bial’s to specta- tors from whom neither her dancing nor her costumes can draw out ap- plause. Cissy’s name appears twice now on the house bill, and that is ig- nominious enough. Two turns in an evening is perilously near the contin- uous stage. Cissy appears just after several bars from “Orpheus and Eury- dice” have led the audience to believe that something lively and gay is about: to follow. Then she discloses herself. She has gone into a style of costume which Fougére and her French asso- ciates introduced here several years ago. That included always a great deal of hat, some skirt, and practically no waist. But‘it’s not the amount of Cissy’s hat, nor the scarcity of her skirts that is the ofience in her ap- pearance. She wears open-work black silk tights that are not concealed by the shades of any sheltering petticoats. 'l‘he meshes are wide, and the pattern, which extends lengthwise down the leg, reveals as much bare flesh as there is black silk. The brazen shameless- ness Of open-work stockings is not en- tirely new. But they have been sel- dom visible above the knee. The spec- tators neither smile nor applaud. The woman retires in _a silence that creeps over the assemblage like a blanket. Her previous performances have seemed delicate in comparison to tak— ing off her stockings and substituting a thin net of open-work. ROSE FANCHON. Reverence and Reverence. “Ah,” said the elderly lady, “it is sad to see, but' the young .men of the present day seem to be lacking totally In reverence." “You don’t know our young men, _ mamma,” said the younger lady. “You should start ’one of them totalking about himself.” Cleopatra: Tell me, Antony, do the nobles of .Rome earn their living? Nay, my lotus bud, they urn their lead.
