fresh beauty. Mrs. Pomeroy's first
adventure in theatricals was made
on the stage of the Academy Of
Music two or three winters
ago, when she played with Mrs.
Sheridan Shocks amateurs-the
Charity Amateur Dramatic Associ-
ation-of which her sister, Mrs. G..
Mildred Goodyear, wife of Prof.
William II. Goodyear, was one of
the most conspicuous members.
Subsequently she acted '"Beatrice F"
to the "Benedict" of our best anna
teur, Mr.. John H. Bird. For her
debut on the professional stage she
stole the role of "Juliet," and is
said to have acquitted herself ad-
mirably, having been under rigor-
GUS training for some months past.
Mrs. Pomeroy's stage name is Miss
Heath. She is a member Of the
Sorosis, by the way; so that inde-
pendent body has special interest
in her success. Mrs. Pomeroy,
moreover, is a direct descendant Of
Jean Paul Richter. Her German
ancestry is evident, for she might
sit to an artist as a model fOl

Victor HugO's Tribute 10 George
Sand.

Victor Hugo's funeral Grafton,
which was read at the grave of
George Sand, contained the follow
ing passage: Z" She is the one great
woman in this century whose mis-
sion was TO finish the French Rev
olution and commence the reyolu-
ton of humanity. Equality of the
sexes being a branch Of the equality
of men, a great woman was neces-
sary. 1t was for a woman to prove
that her mind might possess all
gifts without losing a particle of
her angelic nature, might be at
once strong and gentle. George
Sand was that woman. Happy is
it that some one does honor to
France when so many disgrace it.
George Sand is one Of the glories
of our age and country. She had
great heart like Barbes, a great
mind like Balzac,, and a great soul
like Lamartine. To enumerate her
masterpieces were needless, and a
plagiarism from the stores Of uni
yersal memory. She was good, and
accordingly she had detractors, but
the insults to her were of that kline
which posterity will count as glo.
ries."

was imprisoned for two months.
Carvallo was not SO fortunate, and
the sentence of the Supreme Court
on him, just delivered, amounts to
the triAe of 124 years! This sur
prising result is due to the fact that
the robbery was effected at differ
ent times and under two different
legal periods; $20,925 was abstract
ed before the Penal Code came into
force; and for this, under law of
1907, has been awarded the penalty
of six years in the penitentiary.
The remainder - 50, ,2O2.60 - had
been stolen at eighty different times,
and for each infraction Of the law
Carvallo has been sentenced to 54l
days imprisonment.

A Game They DId Not Understnnd.

According to the story, Mr..
Everett was to present his creden-
tials to the queen on the same
day with the presentation of the
Italian minister, and repaired at
the proper hour in the costume of
ceremony to the place, where he
saw his italian colleague, also Off
cialy and splendidly arrayed. The
presentation took place in due form,
and the ministers, having been
hidden to dinner, were informed by
the prime minister that the Duchess
of Kent, the queens mother, de-
sired them to join her i'll game Of
whist.
ri am sorry for either of you
who may be my partner" said the
prime minister smiling as he rose
to lead the way to the duchess, "for
| know very little about the game.
AS they passed along Mr.. Everett
turned to his diplomatic companion
and said with lofty urbanity:
81 must also entreat your excel
lency's forbearance if you should
have the misfortune to be allotted
to me as partner, for l have very
little practice in the game"
The Italian excellency bowed
oourteously, and grayely assured
the American minister that the
necessity for forbearance was mu
tual, for he had also had very little
acquaintance with the game. The
duchess received her guests with al
ceremony, and, having indicated
who was to be her partner, the
three personages who were moi
very familiar with whist seated
themselves and the game was about
to begin, when a lady of honor
placed herself by the chair Of tht
duchess, who graciously remarked
to her compenions
"Your excellencies will excust
me, but to prevent embarrassment
to you l have requested this lad,
to prompt me, as, indeed, | am no
very familiar with the game"
The excellencies bowed pro
foundly, and the ceremonial gam
Of whist proceeded.

Knew what He was Huggine.

Augusta (Ga.l Chronicle and Sentinel
A couple from the country came
to the city yesterday, procured a
license and were married in due
form. They left on the afternoon
train for home. They attracted
the attention of every passenger by
their lavish display of affection,
The young man kept his arm tight
around the brides waist, as if he
was afraid she would vanish before
he knew it, and she didn't seem to
care if he Rugged her right along
for half a day. She was so terribly
homely that everybody wondered
how he could love her, and by and
by he seemed to think that an ex-
planation would be in order. He
borrowed a chew of tobacco Of a
man near the door, and remarked;
Pm going to hug that girl all the
way home, though / know she amt
purity" "I wouldn't" briefly re-
piled the man. "And that's where
you'd fool YOURSELF" continued the
young man. "When I'm hugging
hundred acres of clean, nice
land, with forty head of stock on
it, / can make the homeliest girl in
the world look like an angel to me-"

selves around the bulletin-board of

this be good suggestion for CIV

The Blue Blood " Fiction.

Blue blood is after all a good
deal of it fiction. The Pail Mall
Gazette says:
"At the present time there is not
in the peerage a lineal male de-
scendant of one of the many earls
and barons created by the Conquer
or or his immediate successors, the
Norman kings Of England. There
is no male descendant of a single
baron who was at Runnymede
either for or against King John,
nor Of any peer who was at Agin-
court with Henry V, and only one,
Wrottesley, w1o can claim male
descent from a former knight OF
the garter-the Wrottesleys having
reached the peerage within the last
forty years. Under their existing
creations the dukedoms of Norfolk
and Somerset only are older than
the reign of Charles II, the mar
quisates of Winchester and Wor-
cester only are older than the reign
of George III, and only eleven earl
doms, SIX merged in superior titles
are older than the reign of James
!, the five others being Shrewsbury,
Derby, Huntington, Pembroke ant
Devon. At the death of Queer
Elizabeth the peers of England
numbered about sixty, and forty o
the then existing peerages are nov
extinct"
