with stage fright on the occasion of
her first performance of a new role.
Nor is her suffering confined to the
first night itself, but she is affeoted
for several days previous. While re
hearsing the role of Josey May in
"The Runaways," Miss Templeton
took rooms in the country and oould
not be found by her friends who oall
ed at her town apartments. Directly
after the first performance the latter
were thrown open and Miss Temple
ton was herself again? until another
first night rolls round.
Miss Amelia Stone, who plays the
role of the Princess Angelcake in
"The Runaways, " has recently pur
chased a $12,600 home at Bensonhnrst,

THIRD RAIL IS HARMLESS.
fleetrlc Current Fail* to Kill Yitrd
man Lyons.
NEW YORK, June 22.? rersons loit
Hng near the ynrds of the "L" road at
Ine Hundred and Fifty-fifth street
Hitching the making up of trains were
iinazed to see a short, active man who
itepped from rail to raii stand at times
Vlth one foot on the third rail and the
tther foot on the running rail near it.
Ilany onlookers gasped, expecting to
tee him topple over killed by the heavy
current of electricity they supposed
ivas coursing through his body. But
?e did not fall. He stood there as long
is he wished and then stepped off none
Ihe worse for the experience.
He was Alexander Lyons, a car cou
pler. He is the wonder not only of the
yard, but also of all electricians who
visit it, for he seemingly Is impervious
to the effects of electricity. Lyons is
ibout thirty-five and has been in the
yard fifteen years. He was a fixture
in the yard long before the third rail
was tliought of.
When it came Lyons, In common
with the other men employed in the
yard, at first was exceedingly cautious
not to tempt fate by stepping upon it,
but in a week his colaborers wore as
tounded to see him stepping on and off
the third rail without any more regard
for it than he had for the uncharged
fails. They warned him of the danger.
To show his contempt for the current
he would put one foot on the third rail
and the other on the running rail and
would Invite them to follow his exam
ale if they dared. Fortunately for them
they did not accept the challenge.

LAKE LANAO FIGHT.
Captain Pershing Tells of the
Bravery of His Soldiers.
ASSAULT MADE UNDER A HEAVY FIRE
Prldce Wa? Dullt In Face of the
Enemy ? After Thirty Minutes'
FlKhtlnK Morn* Were Overcome
by Hand to Hnnd Encounter.
WASHINGTON, June 22.? Cnptflln
John J. Pershing, who was In com
mand of the troops at the fight at Lake
Lanao In the Philippines, has sent an
account of the battle. lie says:
"In reality the battle of Bacolod was
the best fight of the Moro campaigns;
not so many Moros killed as at Bayan
or Pandapatan, hut they fought accord
ing to some sort of system. Of course
I have worked on this fight, as I fore
saw long ago that it must come, and
the whole thing from the beginning
worked out as planned. First we got
behind them, much to their surprise,
and could post our guns above, and drop
projectiles down into their fort, so that
the artillery fire in this case was not
all noise. We had some work and some
fighting to gain tills position. Once
there, it was only a question of sitting
down deliberately and waiting to see
what the Moros would do. Many got
away before the place was invested
thoroughly.
"The fight began in a flood of a rain
storm that lasted till dark, and recon
noiterlng was difficult. So we did not
find all the avenues of escape until
next day, and I am glad now we didn't,
as they had such confidence in this
fort that they have been constructing
for a year that they took many women
and children Inside, and these escaped
during the night. The next day and
night we held them fast, however;
tried to get them to surrender; had
two talks under flag of truce. No; they
would fight it out. So tjhere was then
only to finish it I called my officers
together and gave each one his work.
"The main obstacle was a deep ditch
thirty-five feet wide and forty feet
deep to be crossed. It was to be bridged
with fallen trees, and over all a bam
boo bridge was laid. Everything in
readiness, the assault began. In the
face of a heavy Remington fire from
the fort the lines advanced against two
faces of the fort, putting out of busi
ness every Moro that appeared. They
could not use their portholes, as we had
battered them to pieces, although we
could not with our light field artillery
damage the earthworks.
"The lines up to within fifty yards,
the bridge was completed by two com
panies detailed for that purpose, the
trees having been previously cut and
hauled as near as could safely be done.
Thirty minutes when the assaulting in
fantry swung across and formed line
on the berme and clambered up nearly
in line to the top of the parapet. Here
they were met with Kampjlan and
Kris, and a bloody hand to hand fight
occurred? one soldier against two Mo
ros here, another running his bayonet
into a fanatic there, Moros plunging
headlong into the deep ditch in their
Impetuosity and impetus. It was as a
whole a scene never to forget. Too
much cannot be said of the valor, the
oravory, the courage and cool nerve of
the American soldier.
"The majority of those left Inside
never reached the top of the parapet.
It was a relief to me that none of our
uen were killed. Two will lose an arm
fach; the rest will recover with honor
able scars, but not maimed. It was the
proudest day of my life. Cholera exist
Kl in all that section, and we did not
txamine the interior of the- fort until
ifter It was burned and wet thorough
ly through, for there were all sorts of
anderground galleries and passage
wayt. Some officers in the assaulting
tine counted sixty dead on one floor,
and Moros say more than a hundred
were killed inside, while the list out
side has been growing ever Since the
jattle, so that 150 all told Is a conserva
tive estimate.
"I have labored with these Bacolod
iloros for a year through other Moros,
?ome of them near relatives, trying to
convince them of their foolishness in
thinking of fighting us, but tlicy have
replied in insulting messages, and. in
fact, the whole Laguna de Lanao has
anticipated a reverse for r.s."

MILITARY ASSASSINS ARE REWARDED
Ofllorra of the Army Who Took Part
In the Murder of the Sovereign*
Are Promoted ? Servians De
tented the Queen.
BELGRADE, Sorvia, June 22. ? M.
Ivalievics, foreign minister, in nn In
terview expresses intense indignation
at the announcement from London that
tiie British minister has been instruct
ed to withdraw from Belgrade for some
time on the arrival here of King Peter.
The minister said it was Inexplicable
why the British government intended
to make the provisional Servian minis
try responsible for "the deplorable
events of the night of June 11. The
members of the present cabinet, he
added, had really displayed great pa
triotism in coming to the aid of their
country in the sad crisis.
Minister Kalievics' statement was
made carefully for publication and
may be regarded as an official expres
sion of the view of the government.
The minister said:
"It is with deep Indignation that we
find in a recent telegram from London
an indication that it is intended to hold
the present government responsible for
the deplorable events which occurred
on the sanguinary night of June 11 in
the royal palace. It is known that the
events of that night were carried out
by Servian officers who had resolved to
prevent the probable proclamation of
the brother of Qneen Draga as the suc
cessor to the throne.
"The fact that a woman was among
those who perished in the struggle pro
voked by the attack of an aid de camp
upon officers Is regrettable, more so as
her death was by no means necessary,
even though she had been detested by
the whole Servian people from the mo
ment she presumed to place the crown
upon her unworthy head."
The promotions are announced of va
rious members of the military deputa
tion to King Peter at Geneva. Colonel
Popovics of the late King Alexander's
palace guard is created a general and
tirst aid de camp to King Peter; Cap
tain Kosties, who opened the palace
gates for the assassins of the late king
and queen, is promoted to be a major,
and Lieutenant Gronlea, who was on
guard outside the palace on the night
of the assassination and who was a
confidant of the conspirators, Is made a
captain.

WILMINGTON, Del., June 22.- What
is believed to have been a deliberate at
tempt to wreak vengeance on George
White, a negro who Is charged with as
saulting and killing Helen Bishop, was
foiled through the watchfulness of the
authorities and through lack of num
bers in the attacking party. Ever since
the girl died as a result of her injuries
there lias been talk of lynching. A
band of about sixty men gathered at
Marshallton, near the scene of the
crime, and marched to the workhouse.
The crowd was armed with pistols and
shotguns. When it reached the prison a
demonstration was made, and those
that had weapons fired them off. The
chief warden had all his guards on
iluty, but they were not compelled to
resist an attack because the crowd soon
dispersed.

LOWELL STRIKE OFF
Council of Operatives Vote to
Return to Work.
MILL WORKERS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED
Aarents Will Take Back the Old Help
They Have Room For and Will
Not Discriminate Airatnat
the Leiuleri.
LOWELL, Mass., June 22.? Tho tex
tile council lius declared the great
strike in the Lowell mills at an end.
Every union aiiillated with the council
was represented, and the vote was
unanimous. Mule spinners and loom
fixers were Included in this vote de
spite statements that they would op
pose a return to work. When the
meeting was called there was no dis
sension. The situation was discussed
carefully and with no suggestion of ex
citement. The vote showed every del
egation favorable to a return to work,
and the sentiment was that the vote
take immediate effect.
When asked for a statement Presi
dent Conroy smilingly said:
"We now worship at the altar of de
feat, but later we shall rise again and
conquer."
Agent William S. Southworth, secre
tary of the agents, said when inter
viewed:
"It will be impossible to start the bal
ance of machinery so as to employ at
once all who will come back. Running
with an incomplete force for three
weeks has disturbed the balance that
usually exists between the stock and
prices in the various deparemtns. A
mill may have depleted stock In cer
tain kinds of yarn and for that reason
be unable to start all of its looms even
if the full complement of help is avail
able. It Is for the selling agents and
the treasurers to decide in view of the
market whether we shall attempt to
run in full."
The strike began on March 30 and in
volved about 17,000 operatives. The
mills were shut down till June 1, when
the agents opened the gates, and the
majority of the operatives went back
to work. The strike has cost in wages
about $1,300,000.
It is understood that the agents will
take back all the old help they have
room for and will make no discrimina
tion against the leaders of the strike
movement.
The Seventh In Cnmp.
PEEKSKILL, N. Y., June 22.? The
state camp wns n dismal sight until
the rain finally slowed down and the
sun began to show itself from behind
the clouds. Governor Odell is expected
to visit the camp on Wednesday, and
on Thursday the West Point cadets
will march in. One of the visitors to
the camp was General William S.
Worth, who was formerly a member
of the Seventh regiment. Tomorrow
the First battalion will leave camp If
the weather Is good and skirmish in
the woods. On Wednesday the men
will return and attack the camp in a
sham battle. The Second battalion
will be forced to defend the camp.
"No, sir," protests the man with
the big cap and the goggles; "I would
not have a horse. A horse simply eats
its head off all the time. Give me an
auto."
"Huh!" comments the man who
wears a horseshoe scarfpin. "A horse
may eat his head off, but ?n auto is
apt to blow your head off." ? Judce.
