A St. Louis Actress and Her Play.

New York Special "a the Cincinnati Enquirer
Miss Minnie Maddern, of 81. Louis,
made her first mature appearance on the
New York stage at Mr. Abbey's Park
theatre this evening in an exhausting melo-
drama called "Fogg's Ferry" Miss
Maddern has played before in infantile
parts, but her present engagement may be
regarded as her first serious introduction
to the public. There was very fair
audience present, and Miss Maddern was
warmly applauded, while the floral orna-
ments were protuse and eloquent of u
friendly interest, which, happily, was
neither uudeserved nor insincere. There
has been good deal OF indiscreet and
reckless writing put forth about Miss
Maddern and her dramatic gifts, but she
triumphed bravely last evening over
pamphlets, paragraphs, bouquets and
friends, and Won the genuine goodwill OF
her audience. She came forward like a
new Lolita, young, slender. sprightly, quite
pretty, arch of manner, rash in the matter
of herstockings, as Lolita always was, and
possessed of undeniable red hair. She
had not been on the stage a minute before
she had jumped, under the most perilous
conditions, 10 a seat on the edge Of table
and established with the audience rela-
tiOns of the most agreeable intimacy
Her self-possession is complete. She can
/ sing even worse than Lolita can, but she
has a native gift and disposition to her
calling that will not be denied expression.
and which, if afforded any occasion of
growth and development, cannot fail to
make her thoroughly popular artist in
her line of small comedy. she initiates
Lolita palpably, which is a mistake, by
reason OF being unnecessary, for she has
natural advantages that Lolita never pos
sessed, and she appears in very bad
melodrama, full of certain smartness OF
dialogue and quickness OF movement, but
wholly reckless in construction and for
bidding i'm quality. This latter is not her
fault, and will doubtless be amended by lis
failure and the substitution of better
now that she has made plain her abilities
She can prove herself a most entertaining
figure on our stage, providing only that
she seeks her success In the right channels.
She made better impression on the au-
dience last evening than has been made by
! any debutante for years, in spite of un-
usual difficulties that she had to encounter
"FOgg's Ferry" is trying drama, but i.
has character or two in il worth consid-
ering for certain quality of independent
conception and depletion that they dis
close. Ii has also revealed Miss Maddern
who is entirely refreshing and original,
so that il has by no means to be unreserv'
eddy condemned

She Procured the Hat.

Harry Frank is a St. Louis drummer
who visits this city every few weeks, and
has any number of friends, and they are
not confined To the sterner sex, either.
At the hotel where he stops is pretty
waiter girl with whom he has had many
pleasant little tete-a-tetes, and his coming
is always looked forward TO by her with
pleasure.
A few days ago Mr.. Frank was here, and
was talking business with Mr. Mayer, Of
the Bee Hive store, when the fair dining
room girl happened to pass. He called to
her, and OF course she entered and they
had pleasant chat. At the conclusion,
Frank iokingly remarked: "Pick you
ont hat, Annie. and I'll pay for it." So
saving he walked out.
And Annie took him at his word. She
picked out a hat that cost So. which
was handed TO her and she took her de-
parture.
The next day Mr.. MAYER called upon
Mr.. Frank at the hotel where he was stop
ping and presented bill for SIS. The
Jolly drummer was dumb-founded, and
could only say: "Hell, she didn't get a
So hat, did she?'' He was assured that
such was the case, so concluded to make
the most OF a bad bargain, and went down
for his wallet and paid the bill. He will
probably be little more careful In future
how he invites his lady friends to take
something at his expense"

An Old-fashloned Love Story

Forty-eight years ago, John Saunders,
one of the wealthiest cattle kings of Mon
tana, who was then . poor youth, with
nothing to recommend him but spotless
reputation and brave heart, became en-
amored of a Kentucky belle, whose father
was a rich man. His tenderness was recip-
rocated, but the parent OF the young lady
refused his consent to the marriage and
was memorable. Young Saunders was too
honorable to press his suit in the family
where his presence was unwelcOme. He
sought An interview with the girls parent,
who for the twenty-third and last time told
him to abandon all hope OF marriage as
far as his daughter was concerned, a diff
ference in their social positions was an in
surmountable barrier. How much are
YOU WORTH" asked the young lover.

lars cash." was the reply. Very vel, y
answered young Saunders, Tomorrow
morning leave fer the west 10 carve out
fortune, and when l can size up TO your
million dollars / will return and claim
INV bride, for know she will be true"
The young man kept his promise after a
long and sorrowful interview with his m
smorata, and with small omtfit struck
out bravery oT the "cSteru eiIitoiieS'
Since that time forty-eight years have
elapsed, during which, with varying sue
cess, he / as dipped into various enter
prises from the British line 10 Sonora. He
came to Montana in early days, and en-
barked in the cattle business with a firm
of Helena, with such success that the firm
now owns nearly 10000 head of cattle on
the Teton. About a month ago Saunders
figured up his assets, concluded he was
worth 81 100000 and left for Kentucky
He found the love of his younger days
waiting for him, confident and hopeful OF
his final arrival. The two were married
with as little ceremony as possible. They
arrived in Butts this evening, and after a
short visit will proceed to their home in
the Teton valley, where the groom is
greatly respected.
