The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wafting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. THE TERM "OLD MAID" HAS LOST ITS STIGMA Mary Queen of Scots QUEEN ELIZABETH, GRAND A OLD MAID OF HISTORY. The term "old maid" has lost its stigma. The independent, unmarried woman no longer bothers to resent it. Modern opportunities to engage in business, to play a part in the activities of business and art, of philanthropy and politics, without being hampered by the presence and care of a mere man, has proved such an alluring prospect to many women of forceful personalities that a proposal of marriage far from being something to be eagerly waited, is now regarded as a sort of mutilation. The recent divorce difficulties of the Countess de Costellane, born Anna Gould, form an interesting comparison to the peaceful and happy life led by her sister, Helen Gould. It is no lack of gallantry that prompts the statement that this lady has passed the age when women usually marry. That she has had limitless opportunities is only what is to be expected for an heiress, a woman of fine education and most lovable personality. But unlike Anna Gould, who married a worthless title, Helen elected to remain single. If love is a good thing in life, Miss Gould made no mistake to stay an old maid. The term old maid once out to the quick the sensitive feminine heart. Perhaps even the first of the grand old maids, Miriam, of Old Testament history, suffered a little railway from her associates, because she was some hundreds of years ahead of her times, but the sister of Moses knew the possibilities of good in a woman who had her time free to think for the race, and she carved for herself a place in Bible history that suffers nothing in comparison to the deeds of the greatest of the wives. Jeanne d'Arc, although perhaps she cannot be said to have lived to the period of life when she could be called an old maid, went to her martyrdom without ever having entertained a thought of matrimony. Queen Elizabeth could hardly have QUEEN ELIZABETH, GRAND A Rarely has our leading morning newspaper done itself more proudly than over the Jamaican earthquake. On the morrow of the calamity it managed to print not only the actual facts but also some messages about it from New York. Black and Blue. She (practically)—I wonder what makes the Black sea look so blue? He—You'd look blue if you had all the Cossacks to wash. Mary Ann CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN, GRAND OLD MAID OF THE STAGE made herself such a magnificent place in the annals of English achievement if she had encountered the rivalry of a husband. Throughout all the wonderful period of her reign, a time that produced Shakespeare and a dozen other great writers, that saw England gain a mighty foothold in the new world, and come victorious from many conflicts by land and sea, the potent force of a old maid was at the helm. Ask any British soldier what woman of the last two hundred years did the most to lessen the rigors of military service and to give the fighting man a chance against disease, a foe more to be feared than the bullets of the enemy, and he will reply: "Florence Nightingale." Another old maid. Ask any American soldier who served in the war against Spain, or Jap, or Russian, who fought in the recent conflict, the same question that was suggested above as one to put to the British soldier, and again the answer will be the name of an old maid: "Clara Barton." When this lady in 1881 organized the American Red Cross society, and became its president, she inaugurated a movement that has gone far to introduce mercy into warfare. No treaty between nations is ever made now which does not recognize the right of the Red Cross nurse to be regarded as a neutral, and to move freely from place to place on a battlefield while impartially distributing succor to the CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN, GRAN A OLD MAID OF HISTORY.

To fire on a Red Cross ambulance is regarded as one of the most atrocious offences possible in warfare. The beautiful face of Miss Frances E. Willard looms up among the women who have not been afraid to ignore the cheap popular jest passed on women who remain in single blessedness. If any might have married, it was surely this sweet-faced advocate CLARA BARTON, An old maid who has worked triumphs for doctrine of love and mercy. of sobriety, for never was there a more charming personality. But she, too, had a mission. Hers it was to do the dual work of warning men against the dangers of their uncontrolled appetites, and of rousing women to the influence for good they might become by demanding a ballot. In this latter cause Miss Willard had the able seconding of another old maid, Susan B. Anthony. AND OLD MAID OF THE STAGE Men may differ as to the value of the prize for which she strove, but none can deny that this grand old maid was ever a redoubtable opponent. The greatest actress this country ever knew, and she who could express the love of woman for man, the devotion of wifehood, the joys and pangs of motherhood, better than any of her contemporaries, was another old maid—Charlotte Cushman. The list might be multiplied indefinitely and it is very rapidly growing to-day, for girls have found out that it is better to live in single comfort and independence than marry mistakenly. During the recent insurance investigations was disclosed that in one of the prominent companies an old maid was so essential to the company that she earned a salary of $12,000 a year, an amount that many at prominent man does not equal. Miss Margaret M. Hanna, in her capacity of confidential secretary to Assistant Secretary of State Alvey A. Adee, is regarded as one of the keenest diplomats in Washington. Secretaries of state may come and go, according to the exigencies of politics or the favor of presidents may decide, but Miss Hanna and Mr. Adee are essential. They remain under all administrations. Miss Hanna is not so old as to be out of the marital race, but she frankly proclaims herself an old maid, and moreover, glories in the title. Marie Corelli and a host of other writers rejoice in the appellation. No longer a term of reproach, old maid is now the badge of honor that proclaims independent womanhood.

Defective Page ROUMANIAN PEOPLE HATE PROSPECTIVE REGENT Fear of an English agency is casting its shadow over the people of Roumania. The 6,000,000 inhabitants of this kingdom, created by Alexander John I. of the House of Cuzu, when in 1859 he proclaimed the union of the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, are intensely patriotic. They have never resented a nominal sway assumed by Turkey, because Constantinople has been too wary, to make the bonds cut. Moreover, the power and patriotism of the present king, the beloved Charles, has sufficed to serve as a check on plans that ambitious and covetous nations might have in contemplation. But now arises a more serious condition: King Charles is going to die. Death is hovering over him, and entanglements are portending the instant he passes from life. Nor in this crisis will Roumania have the help of the worshipped queen, the lovely Elizabeth, better known the world over as a musician and writer under the pen name of "Carmen Sylva." She, too, is tootering on the brink of the grave, the victim of incurable disease that would sap the patience of a nature less beautiful. The heir to the throne is Prince Ferdinand, but he is far removed from the direct line that the citizens of the country place little reliance in him. Had they only been fortunate enough to have a son from the king and queen, all might have been well, but unfortunately Charles and Elizabeth have been denied offspring. The original heir to the throne was Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sigmäingen, a brother of King Charles. It had been confidently expected by the Roumanians that Leopold would take the reins of government, and they were content, for he is very popular, but, unfortunately, the frother of the present monarch had no inclinations in the direction of governing. He declined the place of heir and appointed in his stead his son, Prince Wilhelm. Again the Roumanians were content, but once more they had to submit to disappointment, for Prince Wilhelm, following the example of his father, also declined the throne, which went begging till it reached Prince Ferdinand. He is a younger brother of Wilhelm. Ferdinand accepted the place of heir, and in the event of the death of Charles, will take the throne. Ferdinand is not personally unpopular, but his wife is. Crown Princess Marie is too thoroughly of English stock, too completely out of sympathy with the people of Roumania to be regarded as an ideal queen. When Ferdinand fell in love with Marie and brought her to Bucharest, the capital of his people, the nation rejoiced. Marie was and is the most beautiful member of the royal families of Europe. Her charming manner added to her popularity. PRINCE CAROL, HEIR TO T And his eldest sister, THE FIRST OF THE FOURTH OF JULY 1834 PRINCE CAROL HEIR TO THRONE OF ROUMANIA, And his eldest sister, Princess Elizabeth.

Indeed, he put it up several times. Egypt Almost Without Rain. Twenty minutes of rain in a year is sometimes all that Southern Egypt gets and there is no dew in that coun- But soon it developed that the new princess was not only not Roumanian in her leanings, but was entirely out of sympathy with all that was most dear to the people. Her lavish expenditures quickly brought her into conflict with the ministry and with legislative bodies. These are very powerful, for the sovereign of Roumania has his powers limited by the will of the people. The right to vote is extended to every tax payer, and the people do not willingly permit the money they make by stock raising, the exporting of grain, flour, petroleum and rock salt to be squandered by those in authority. The electorate scans the annual budget very closely, and when evidence of more than normal expenditure is disclosed, there is certain to be some inquiry either in the senate or the chamber of deputies. All the diplomacy of her grandmother by marriage, Queen Elizabeth, was required to smooth over the rupture. Ferdinand, in love with his super wife, naturally took her side, and did not by the action add much to the affection of those whom he must rule. 245 THE FLOWER GIRL CROWN PRINCESS MARIE OF ROUMANIA, Handaestom Princess in Europe.

Moreover, the life of the family is genuinely happy, for Marie and Ferdinand are devoted to each other and to their children. Were Ferdinand to live it is likely that his influence with Marie would suffice to make her tone her prejudices against his people, and act to them with the proper diplomacy to make a success of her reign. But the fear is that when he is gone, there will be no check on the will of the beautiful headstrong princess, and that, given a free reign, she will consult her own whims to a point that must eventually involve her in a dispute with ministry and legislature. These are both intensely patriotic, and no obligation to the ruler will ever suffice to make the claims of the nation secondary. Should such a quarrel arise, Marie would not let the interests of her son suffer, and would go the limit of an appeal to her uncle, King Edward of England. It is some such action as this that the Roumanians most fear. The forty-eight years that have elapsed since, under John Alexander, Roumana began a national life, have been stormy ones, and the nation has only survived because of the fixed policy of the rulers to avoid giving any nation of Europe any undue potency at Bucharest. John Alexander understood this need, so did Prince Charles I. of Hohenzollern, who was elected prince by the April 14, 1866. Through all the trials of the Turko-Russian war of 1878, Roumanian dipomens skillfully obtained every advantage for their nation, and the Berlin congress of 1878, proclaimed the full independence of Roumania. In 1881 the establishment of a kingdom, with the succession fixed in the male line, opened up the opportunity for substantiol progress. A Good Recommendation.

UNITED STATES THE MOST WEALTHY NATION. Each Decade Shows Marvelous Advancement of the Fortunate Sons of Uncle Sam — Figures That Seem Enormous. The total estimate of the value of the national wealth in 1904 was $107,104,192,410, according to a special report issued by the census bureau on wealth, debt and taxation. This represents an increase in the four-year period from 1900 to 1904 of $18,586,885,635. This advance in national wealth has no parallel in the history of the United States except the decade from 1850 to 1860. In 1880, when the first estimates of the national wealth were made, the figures were only $7,135,780,228. The most potent cause for the increase in the nation's wealth from 1900 to 1904, it was stated, was the reaction from the low prices of the period of depression from 1893 to 1896. The annual increase of wealth per family from 1890 to 1904 was $182. The various forms into which the nation's wealth is divided, with their valuations, are as follows: Real property and improvements taxed, $55,510,228,057; real property and improvements exempt, $6,831,244,570; live stock, $4,073,791,736; farm implements and machinery, $844,983,863; manufacturing machinery, tools and implements, $329,775,180; gold and silver coin and bullion, $1,998,603,303; railroads and their equipment, $1,124,752,000; street railways, $2,219,966,000; telegraph systems, $227,400,000; telephone systems, $585,840,000; Pullman and private cars, $123,000,000; shipping and canals, $464,849,800; privately owned water works, $275,000,000; privately owned central electric light and power stations, $652,851,105; agricultural products, $1,899,375,652; manufactured products, $7,409,291,668; imported merchandise, $495,643,865; mining products, $408,066,787; clothing and personal adornments, $2,500,000,000; furniture, carriages and kindred property, $7,550,000,000. The total public indebtedness of continental United States in 1902 was $2,789,990,120 and the total per capita indebtedness was $35.50. The total indebtedness of the national government for the same year was $925,011,637 and the per capita indebtedness was $11.27. The indebtedness of the United States government is its gross indebtedness less cash in the treasury. The total indebtedness of continental United States in 1890 was $1,989,112,842, that of the national government was $851,912,752 and the per capitas were $21.76 and $13.60, respectively. In 1902 the annual interest charge on the public debt of continental United States is shown to have been approximately $115,206,558 or an annual payment of $1.46 for each individual. In Great Britain the per capita indebtedness of all classes, national and local, was 3.93 times that of the United States; in France, 4.86, and in Italy, 2.25. The assessed valuation of property subject to ad valorem taxation has increased from 1850 to the present time, but it has not kept pace with the increase in the actual national wealth. The total assessed valuation of property in 1902 was $35,338,316-833, while in 1890 it was only $25,473-173,418. The estimated true value of all property in 1902 was $97,810,749-590, against $65,037,091,197 in 1890. The total levies of ad valorem taxes was in 1901 $724,736,539 and the tax rate per $100 of estimated true value 74 cents. The net indebtedness of the country was slightly less at the close than at the beginning of the year. In the case of the national government, states and territories and counties the receipts exceeded the payments and at the close of the year these governments had smaller net indebtedness than at the beginning. In the case of minor civil divisions, and especially the large cities, the situation was reversed and the payments for expenditures exceeded the revenue receipts, causing an increase in net indebtedness. Very often in Washington during the season there are elaborate weddings at the fashionable churches. In other cities, New York, for example, squads of police have been detailed to keep back the curious women who huddle in front of the churches when these notable weddings are scheduled, for the purpose of catching a view of the bride's and bridesmaids' raiment. Washington women don't go near the churches at such times. There is never any bother with crowds in front of the churches. When the bride and her women are in the very act of stepping from their carriages at a big wedding even the darkies on the street scarcely pause to have a look. It isn't that rubbering is one of the seven deadly sins in that town, any more than it is anywhere else. They simply don't care in Washington, that's all. Eben Appleton, of New York city, has in possession the "star-spangled banner" which flew over Fort Mo Henry and which inspired Francis Scott Key to the composition of his national key. It is his intention at his death to leave the flag to either one of the national museums at Washington or the Massachusetts Historical mu-cem at Boston. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

APRIL 27. 1907. THE WHINERS The Chicago Chronicle is worried and claims that the Afro-American complaints too much over the wrongs he suffers and that the world gets tired of the racket he makes. Now, in the opinion of THE APPEAL, that is the very reason why the complaints are made and why they should be made. And furthermore the point at issue is no longer a debatable question, but is res adjudata by the highest authority, the Savor of mankind, who still is held in the highest esteem, except within the precincts of Chicago University. If the Chronicle will re-read the parable of the Unjust Judge, it will probably admit that there are some grounds for doubting the correctness of its conclusions. And moreover, the Chronicle's practice does not correspond with its theory; for it has been howling and whining over the delinquencies of ex-Mary Dunne for the last few years without any regard for how the world felt about the matter—almost every leave has fairly teamed with compliments about Dunne, and the Chronicle had no let-up until Dunne was done up in great shape.

An erudite legislator has introduced a segregation bill in the Arkansas legislature; and in a communication to the Little Rock Gazette, defends his action in the following iminitable style: "It is not the intention of the supporters of segregation to show antisemt against the colored race. But we feel it but just that a populous and well-educated race should not be a burden to those who happen to come in contact with them in a business way. He should be taught honesty and to pay his taxes, and in most instances, if their nomadic members who roam from place to place tax dedging and office-dodging, were made to pay their poll tax it would show that their school would have plenty of funds. I do not want a man of the rising or future generation to say to me or to my memory that had it not been for the support of a lot of ingrates he would have had better opportunities." The name of this brilliant statesman is W. B. Owen. THE PEALAT of once nominates Mr. Owen for Governor of Arkansas. He is just the man to succeed Jeff Davis. WISE IN NAME ONLY John S. Wise of New York, son of old Governor Wise, who hanged John Brown says: "But just now I am more interested in education in the South. What the South needs is more educated white men to do the efficient work in professional and industrial lines in the next few years. All over that section to-day there is a need of trained and broadly educated men. "Education for the Negro? Oh, my that is time wasted. The Negro is a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, and it would be a hard matter to even teach him to do those thing well. The SEN. E. W. LASTON At the meeting of the Financial Board of the A. M. E.

Mr. Wise is unable to discern the signs of the times, owing to unfortunate early training. The Afro-American has acquired, already, too much intelligence to be a mere hewer of wood and drawer of water at starvation wages; and if Mr. Wise does not see it, that is merely his misfortune for it is a fact. And if the South will not educate the Afro-American, he will educate himself, which is also a fact. Says the Chicago Inter-Ocean: "Mohammed Hindoo who founded the new Mohammed university at Agra was as pronounced a humanist as our Dr. Harper. As the latter strove to reconcile Christianity with modern thought, so did the former strive to preserve spiritual Islam and marry it to the new learning." As Dr. Harper did not succeed very completely in his striving, perhaps it would be well for some competent authority to strive to reconcile modern thought with Christianity. The two especially in the United States, seems to be decidedly at variance; and Mr. Stead says that modern thought has sent the church to the Devil. The performance of "The Mikado," the comic opera, which burlesques the Japanese, has been prohibited in London; in consequence, it is said, of the remonstrance of the members of the Japanese legation. No one contended that there was anything in "The Mikado" to produce rioting and murder, but it was tabooed because it was objectionable to the Japanese residents. "The Clansman" is admittedly, intended to promote riot and bloodshed, but its production is prohibited in very few American cities. Dr. H. H.

How Woman Has Elevated the Stage By Julia Marlowe. Actresses in Shakespeare's Time Regarded with Disfavor—Strugles of Famous Actresses to Win Recognition—Mrs. Drew's Triumph as a Manager—Women Inherently Suited for Dramatic Achievement—The Actress Has Advanced the Cause of Women. (Copyright by J. B. Hoveton) (Julia Marlowe, though regarded as an American actress, was born in the lake of Michigan. She grew up as a child of four years when the family to a farm in Kansas. At 12 years of age she joined a juvenile "Pintaro" company and soon attracted attention by a cheerful acting and her rich, clear voice. Other engagements followed; then she retreated from the stage and studied dramatic art. In 1942 she met the theatrina "Inogmar" at the Bilou theater in New York, she won instant recognition as a playwright. She moved for several years longer with disappointments of various kinds before she was married and placed on the stage in roles as Juliet, Rosalina, Barbary Friedie, Colinette and Mary Tudor she was the warmest admiration of the public.) I think-few people can realize how fierce has been the strife in regard to women on the stage and how difficult it has been for them to convince the world at large of the importance of their hard-won position and their beneficent influence upon dramatic art. I am speaking now of the past. Hapily at the present stage of dramatic development woman's standard is a high and her position as assured a man's. It was not always so. Looking back to the age of oppression and intolerance when in 1660 woman first appeared in dramatic representations we find her entrance marked an eruption in dramatic advancement. The first record of woman's appearance upon the stage is December 6, 1660. The play was Shakespeare's "Othello," and the Desdemona was played by a woman. An there has been considerable doubt as to whom this honor belongs. Some have given it to Anne Marshall. The more general supposition is that Margaret Hughes deserves this right to immortality. We have Pepys' authority for it that women appeared in Killigrew's company in London on January 3, 1661, in Beaumont and Fletcher's "Beggar's Bush." Their early appearances were received with great disfavor. Dr. Doran tells us that the writers of the time denounced the first actresses as "unwomanish and graceless"—not meaning that they were unangily and unfeminine but that play-acting in itself allowed their dignity "could man to say," remarked Thomas Brand speaking of these actresses, "that they were hissed, hooted and pipin-petet from the stage, so that I do not think they will soon be ready to try the same again." Notwithstanding the marked disfavor with which they were first received, reasonable and serious-minded persons could not fail to see the pre-priety of Julie and Desdemona being acted by girls rather than boys. I believe that this important progressive step the artistic need for woman's appearance must have been generally felt. We read that soon afterward actresses were in great demand. It was found that they not only increased the popularity of the theaters in which they performed, but that their cooperation was indispensable to the proper presentation of any play. They made possible a fullness and a beauty of interpretation which had not been dreamed of before. Take for a single example the women of Shakespeare. They stand as vivid types of truth and beauty. They are so alive with the warmth of femininity that their expression by other than women is in itself a monstrous sacrilege. A play performed by men can hardly be imagined to-day and the wonder is that such an absurdity ever existed. The realization of the necessity of woman's cooperation with man in dramatic achievement grew rapidly, for men's minds were at this time too highly susceptible to advancement to remain in ignorance of this need. So it was not long before actresses were recognized and highly respected. This was so true in the case of Mrs. Betterton that when in 1674 "Callista" was performed at court the actress was chosen and actresses the princesses and Annette much of a sequent graceful blocution and dignity of bearing of these ladies was accredited to Mrs. Betterton. Perhaps no finer compliment was ever paid to a woman in any walk of life that she received, for we read of her that in company with her distinguished husband she made her home the abiding place of "charity, hospitality and dignity." WHY MARK DIDN'T TALK. August Personage at the Table Had a Monopoly of it. A couple of days ago a gentleman called upon me with a message (from the German emperor). . . The wording of the message was: "Convey to Mr. Clemens my kind est regards. Ask him if he remembers that dinner, and ask him why he didn't do any talking." Why, how could I talk when he was talking? He "held the age," as the clerger-poker say, and two can't talk at the same time with good effect. It reminds me of the man who was reproaching a friend, who said: "I think it a shame that you have not spoken to your wife for 15 years. How do you justify it?" "I didn't want to interrupt her." If the emperor had been at my table he would not have suffered from my presence he could not have suffered from the emperor's own solitude. If I were not too old to travel I would go to Berlin and introduce the eti What a vast work has been accomplished by women in the drama since then, and what a lasting monument of art she has reared for herself in the annals of the stage! To those whose souls are filled with sacred reverence for creative genius what wealth of delight in looking back upon the dazzling record of the theater when the Nell Gwynne, Margaret Woffington, Oldfield, Sarah Siddons, and more later, Rachel Ristort, Fanny Kemble, Charlotte Cushman, Helen Faulet, Adelade Nelson and a host of others stand forth as irrefutable proofs of the dignity and importance of woman's work along the lines of truly artistic advancement. Courage and perseverance have been woman's battle cry since the year 1660. What greater instance of these qualities is to be found in all history than the grim, sad experience of the great Rachel, who when a wretched child traveled in poverty, squander and told from one small European town to another and who in order to possess a copy, a copy of the book was obliged, through trudgling through mud and rain, to pawn her umbrella for the pitiful sum of 20 sows. The history of Charlotte Cushman is too well known to make a review of her uniting perseverance necessary. The heart-rending episodes of her life when poor, the supporting of others, lacking beauty and charm, she strove to influence managers to give her the opportunity of expressing the genius she felt burning within her, form one of the most stirring chapters in the history of womankind. Consider, too, the life of Mrs. Lander, who besides her valuable services in the dramatic field, took upon herself the entire of the hospital department of Port Rush, S.C. She lives in memory to us as the blessed name of Florence Nightingale does to the English. It is unnecessary to go back in the history of the stage to such examples. We have them near, a child. The struggles of Mme. Modjeska and of Miss Clara Morris and their final and lasting artistic victories are well known to all who have watched with interest and sympathy the lives of artists on the stage. It is often stated that woman is lacking in the faculty of creative genius, and, indeed, that in this particular, by contrast with man, she is decidedly inferior. This is perhaps a reasonable conclusion in view of her history. But it is not so emphatically true when we consider her dramatic work. It is by no means a new thought that man is by nature more intellectual and woman by nature more emotional. Of course, it is not meant by that man is never emotional, nor woman never intellectual. Yet it is surely fair to assume that to man belongs the power of intellectuality, and to woman the emotional quality. Does it not seem, therefore, that the very possession by nature of this latter necessity is certainly an absolute necessity in dramatic art, has made her inherently suited for dramatic achievement? Mr. Ruskson, in speaking of the necessary qualities that go to form great artists, says: "First, sensibility and tenderness; second, imagination, and third, industry." Woman's nature is peculiarly alive to all of these conditions. It is then no wonder that women on the stage have accomplished great things and will accomplish greater things in the future, when such women as Modjeska, Terry, Duse and the matchless Bernhardt continue through inspiration to show their genius to the world. Woman's work in literature with few exceptions has been denied any claim to greatness. In music and in other arts she is admitted to have shown no particular creative power. But her place upon the stage is as admirable as any other actress having thus secured for herself an eminent position in the drama the actress has advanced the whole cause of woman, since every individual trumpf raises the estimation in which the intellectual achievements of a whole class are held. Woman is better understood because she has been faithfully represented, regarded because of her ability to make that portrayal. And that portrayal has, I feel, a powerful moral influence in an educational sense. I thoroughly believe that it is the duty of mothers to foster in the hearts of their children while at a temper age a serious consideration for the better forms of dramatic literature and of dramatic representation. Let them be inspired to volute an unhappy tendency of the present age which regards acting merely as a form of amusement rather than an amusement combining a means for intellectual control and artistic suggestion, presented in an attractive and inspiring manner. That woman is capable of arduous effort and untiring devotion has been fully demonstrated by her work on the stage. She has helped to elevate the drama to its rightful place among the educational forces of life. She has been a teacher of what Morton says "At the playhouse door, then, we may say to the doubling, enter boldly, for here, too, are the gods." quette of my own table, which tallies with the etiquette observable at other royal tables. I would say: "Invite me again, your majesty, and give me a chance;" then I would courteously waive rank and do all the talking myself. I thank his majesty for his kind message, and am proud to have it and glad to express my sincere reprecognition of its sentiments.—From Mark Twain's Autobiography in the North American Review. "I would give anything to possess your hand," he sighed. "Thank you, but I will keep it for myself," she answered. For she was winning everything in sight at bridge—Baltimore American.

United States Leads All Other Countries in Length of Tracks. With the announcement that 6,000 miles of railroad built in the United States last year brings the total up to 230,000 miles, it is realized that this country possesses nearly half the railroad mileage of the world. A large portion of the railroad mileage was in the Southwest, more or less contiguous to St. Louis. The total mileage of the world is about 535,000. How insignificant in comparison to the United States are continental pretensions in this direction is revealed by the fact that Russia and Germany, vieing for second place, have only 34,130 and 34,000 miles respectively, to their credit. India-Australia-Bundelburg, Germany and France are all of the United Kingdom, which can only boast of 22,634 miles of track. Regarding gross receipts, however Great Britain occupies a more enviable position. While the United States totals a sum of $1,975,000,000, with receipts per mile $9,120, the islands can boast of $559,000,000, with receipts per mile $24,700, and Russia's gross receipts are $1,150,000,000, of line than Great Britain, possesses, reaches less than a third of her figures. WHO HIT THE BULLSEYE? A Chance to Do Ciphering Over the Scores of Four Marksmen. Here is a puzzle which London has propounded. Four crack shots at Puddleburg competed for the annual Pewter-pot trophy. They were allowed six shots cach. Encircling the bullseye were eight rings. The bullseye counts 100, the ring next to it 50, the next 25, then 20, 10, 5, 3, 2 and 1. Now Jones scored 196, Brown 193, Robinson 121 and Macpherson 198. The curious puzzle is to discover from these facts and from the twenty-four actual hits recorded on the target, who hit the bullseye. That the only hit that scored 3 was made by Brown. The outer or eighth ring was hit six times. The 2 ring was hit once, likewise the 3, as stated. The 5 ring was puckured twice, the 10 ring once, the 20 ring three times, the 25 ring once. The 50 ring scored eight shots. And we know that one bullet pierced the bullseye. The great question is, which of the crack shots hit the bullseye? A young member of a Sunday school was soliciting recruits to her class and called upon a newly married couple who had moved near her home. After a few pleasant remarks of a general character, she said: "I am trying to get new scholars for our Sunday school. Will you send your children to our school?" She was much disappointed when told that the lady had none, but in a moment her face brightened and she asked: "Will you send them when you do have them." Only Way. "Yes," said Mrs. Housekeep. "I simply had to buy this plain gown on account of our cook." "Really," replied Mrs. McCall, "I don't understand." "Well, you see, she goes in for gaudy things and I want to have just one dress that she won't copy." The First One. "It seems that Cholly Roxley has turned over a new leaf." "What leads you to think that?" "I've been told that he's working for his father for all he's worth." "Your informant used one 'for' too many." Pope's New Physician. Dr. Ettore Marchifaela, who succeeded the late Dr. Lapponi as private physician to the pope, was born fifty-two years ago at Civita Vecchia and was principally educated in Rome, where he is now located at the pathological institute at the university. He is the discoverer of the malarial parasite and the originator of the scheme by which the Eternal City has been rendered practically free from Roman fever.

The big American eagle, measuring ten feet high and twelve feet across the wings, which for many years has made its home at the Boston navy yard, is soon to be shipped to the Jamestown exposition to be placed on exhibition, by orders from the navy department. It has been encased in a wooden cage, and so large is the box it will require a special car to transport it. For many years this great bird has been the wonderment of thousands of visitors from all parts of the world to the navy yard at Boston. This massive figurehead was originally designed for the bow of Commodore Perry's flagship, the Niagara, where it perched when the American squadron went to Japan in 1855. Other wooden ship of the American navy has ever had a more artistic or decorative design, but it fit the ship's bow it was found necessary to remove a part of the bird's back; but this has been replaced and the whole has been painted an appropriate color. The much-prized relic will be returned to the Boston navy yard after the close of the exposition at Jamestown, where it will be closely guarded in order to keep off souvenir bags.

However rapid the Indian is traveling the path of civilization, it is plain from a casual reading of the notices in the South Dakota newspapers of inherited Indian lands for sale that their names do not change. In one of these advertisements appear the following: Edward Snow Boy, Emily Crow Dog, Joseph Red Leaf, Little Bird, R. Spotted Eagle, Lob Long Ear, Lizzie Lone Bull, Jonah Iron Whip, Samuel Four Star, Omaha, Julia Humming Bird, J. Pretty Feather, Jonah One Elk, R. Crazy Eyes, Lizzie Long Ear, Medicine Horn, Feather-in-the-Ear, Cecilia Curly Feather, Robert Kill Bear. Probably a fourth of these Indian heirs bear the names of white fathers. Half a century ago a colony of Frenchmen settled in the vicinity of the Mandans and Brule Sloux, and nearly every one of them married an Indian. Their progeny are represented by such names as Picotte, Archambeau, Arconge, De Fond, Brunot, Dezera, Tasagye, Bruyer. Descendants of these Frenchmen own great tracts of land and many cattle in the Northwest. Many of the Indians still retain their old form of name. From another advertisement come these: Sunkakoi-papi, Iwankemwastin, Cuncagewokanna, Ounwin, Wakocoarwin and the like. A NEW SALAD. Composed of Green Peppers Stuffed With Malaga Grapes. If a genuine surprise is wanted, says the Bohemian, let the hostess copy the invention of Miss Sara Safford and astonish her guests with a combination of peppers stuffed with grapes. To prepare this composition take large green peppers, cut off the tops, and carefully remove all the seeds. Then stuff them tightly with Malaga grapes that have previously been halved, seeded and moistened with a light mayonnaise dressing. When the peppers have been filled the tops are replaced that they may act as covers, and the peppers are then sent to the icebox to remain for about two hours, when they may be served on a bed of watercress. King Edward's Kitchen It is doubtful if there is another cook in the world whose skill in culinary arts is equal to that of M. Menager, who rules the kitchen at Buckingham palace. For his service as King Edward's cuisiner M. Menager, it is said, receives a salary of 2,000 pounds sterling per annum, his duties lasting about two hours each day, if the time occupied in passing the luncheon menu, drawn up by the master of his majesty's household is excepted. Toward 6 o'clock M. Menager directs his steps toward the kitchen, where there are saucepans and culinary utensils which have cost not less than 10,000 pounds sterling. There are 4,000 knives, 3,000 forks and 3,000 spoons solely employed in the preparation of the dishes; while the equipment of the kitchen provides for 8,000 covers being laid—Tit-Bits. Dog Saves a Rabbit. A sportsman on the Huntsham, estate, North Devon, had a rabbit brought to him by his spaniel, which had caught it under a hedge. The rabbit could walk only very feebly, though all its limbs were found to be sound. In its mouth, however, was a thick twig about three inches long, which had become wedged in behind the teeth in the rabbit's rush from some threatened danger. The animal was unable to extract the twig with its paws, and was being gradually starved to death when it was found by the dog. Death for a Kiss. The rules and regulations which environ unmarried girls in France are exceptionally strict when compared with those of England or America. On the other hand, compared with the social laws of Spain, I think those of France are favorable to the jeune fille. I have personal knowledge of a case in which a young Spanish girl shot herself because she had been kissed by a young man and because—in consequence of this small indiscretion—her life had been made unbearable by her relatives—Paris Correspondence The Madame. Suez Canal Earnings in 1906. In 1903 the transit revenue of the Suez canal was $21,621,750, as compared with $22,772,360 in 1905, and $23,146,670 in 1904, says the Nautical Gazette. A reduction of 15 cents a ton was made in January, 1906, in transit tolls. The number of ships which passed through the canal declined, however, to 3,975 in 1906, as compared with 4,116 in 1905, and 4,237 in 1904. A Deep Laid Scheme.

Electric Vibrator With Platinum Points Invented by German Scientist. Among the lesser evils to which the human flesh is heir the possession of a red nose may be counted as one of the most distressing to its fortunate owner. Various causes may be assigned to explain the phenomenon, but this question may be charitably disposed of by simply stating that the immediate cause is abnormally enlarged blood vessels. The swelling and discoloring of the nose follows and the victim becomes a marked man among his fellows and is shunned by the more sensitive of the weaker sex. But it seems that modern science can deal successfully even with a red nose. A German professor has invented an electric vibrator or concussion instruments to treat this beauty-destroying malady. From the description it appears to punch the nose under operation hundreds of times a second with a bumble of about fifty glided platinum points. The application of the instrument is said to cause bleeding and there does not appear to be any good reason for doubting the statement. However, it is said that the patients in almost all cases are able to endure the rapidly repeated pricking without much suffering, and one or two treatments a week are sufficient to bring the most abnormal noses back to their pristine purity and whiteness. Many of the Queens of Europe Were Married Before They Were 20 Married Before They Were 20. If, as is commonly rumored in Berlin, Prince Augustus William of Prussia, the kaiser's fourth son, is to lead his cousin, Princess Alexandra of Schleswig - Holstein - Sonderburg - Glücksburg, to the altar in May next, they will, says the Westminster Gazette, rank among the most, youthful of royal couples, for the 'bridegroom will be but twenty and the bride seventeen. The king of the Belgium and his bride were eighteen and seventeen respectively when they stood before the altar in 1853, and their two daughters were wives before they had reached their eighteenth year. The late empress of Austria was rated at sixteen to the present emperor, who was twenty-four, and the ages of King Humbert and Queen Margherita were the same when they were made one in 1868. At twenty-two the king of Greece married his sixteen year-old queen; England's king and queen were twenty-one and eighteen, respectively, on their wedding day; Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were both twenty. Meeting With Leopards. As Mr. Barrett was riding his farm into Que Que on Monday morning, he had a disagreeable encounter about four miles from here with five leopards that were just finishing the remains of a buck. He had his hat drawn well down over his face to keep off the blazing sun, and on coming to a sharp bend in the road (he was traveling too fast to pull up) he rode straight over one of the animals lying across his path. Mr. Barrett was thrown to the ground with great force, but fortunately he was able to regain his feet quickly and seize the machine, and ward off the attack made by one of the brutes. We are glad to say that Mr. Barrett is none the worse for his thrilling experience beyond some severe bruises. Devine to Aid Divers The difficulty a diver experiences in lifting weights beneath the water is partly overcome by a new Italian invention, which has been formally adopted by that government. The mechanism is a diving suit, the artificial arms of which are worked from the inside by the wearer. The leverage thus obtained enables the diver to lift object heavier than he could otherwise handle. In addition to this improvement over the old method a high-power electric light that will penetrate the water for some distance is placed in the helmet.
