MODJzSKA VS.. FRY
How Actresses Admire aud Love
Each Other.
cay. Ner Yyrk Letter.

| heard a story to day from a private
source, showing how little kindness
exists among the foreign actresses
who come among US. Laugtry, who is
probably an artistic fraud, making her
reputation upon her lace, is to play
Rosalind during her engagement here.
Hearing that Modjeska, the Polish
sctress, who has real talent, was to
appear for the first time in these parts
as ROsalind, last Saturday afternoon,
l.angtry seized her manager, Abbey
who comes from Akron, Ohio, | un-
derstaud-an and started over to get the
business" or stage tricks OF the
other. MOdieska remarked to Blanche
Roosevelt, who was calling upon
her: II think it is pretty mean for
hat monkey to come over here and
appropriate the fruit Of my study. If
il was an actress with some genius
and scholarship | would not care, but
| am very 10th to let her haul AWAY my
brains"
The Polish woman, to use a coarse
expression, kept her eye skinned.
Her friends we're on the lookout.
After the play had well begun Lang.
try and Abbey slipped 10 and took one
seat from the back of the theater. At
that moment, getting her cue, Mod.
ieska changed her entire system Of
playing Rosalind. In a little while
word went round the house that
Langtry was there, ami the Brooklyn
women behaved as immodestly as they
did in the case of Mrs. Tilton, when
il was 4 mooted question whether
Henry had embraced her. just as in
the court room they staredaud walked
around Elizabeth they began to prom
ensde around Langtry, till she became
positively frightened, and asked if
there vas no place she could take
refuge. A person who had a private
box seat gave az invitation to Abbey
TO bring his show woman In there.
MOdjeska, meantime, went on playing
a Rosalind that she never means to
repeat. In short. going through the
lines without Introducing her own in
diYidual business. Why, said Mod
jssks, presently that monkey will be
saying thai | am playing ROsaiind to
initiate her"
Aiss Calhoun's Rosalind 10 London
beats Mrs. Langtry's here. Mrs Lang
try legs would be all very we'll if she
could walk on her arms, every English
creature being more perfect 10 the
forearm than in the hiBdsight. Cal
hOuu has better conception Of the
character 10 the legs. As far as Lang
Wy goes, Calhoun Is a n~ullifer.

HARRIS SUCCESSOR.
Views ola Veteran journalist on
the subject
Chattnuooza Times 10.

Colonel John M. Fleming, ex-State
Superintendent of Education. and a
veteral journalist Of Tennessee passed
through the city yesterday from Gin
cinnati to his home in Knoxville. A
reporter of the Times had a CONVEX
sation with him relative to Senator
Harris successor to the United States
Senate. He is of opinion that Gen
eral Bate will be his most formidable
opponent. When we suggested
that perhaps Gen. Bate had agreed
not TO offer himself, Colonel Elem
ing smiled and said that Bate would
make no such agreement, that he has
had his eyes on the Senate since the
war and will never rest satisfied until
he secures it. He thinks that the
open contest will be between Savage
and Harris, and that neither have
more than a fighting chance. Marks
Atkins, House, Whitthorne anC
Others, he believes, have the S%enatoria.
bee in their bonnet, and their iriendI
will support them. He believes tina.
an effort will be made By the Bat,
leaders to induce Senator jackson t,
resign, to make room for both Bat,
and Harris in the Senate.

Republican Comment.

N. L. tribune.
The defeat of the Saratoga ticket
yesterday was overWhelming. There
will be no mistake as to who did it.
This is no victory achieved by Dem
ocrats, Since the first appearance of
the Republican party in National
p0latics, there has never been a time
when the Democrats could command
a majority Of a hundred and twenty
five thousand in this State, or the half
oft Yesterday Republicans defeated
their own ticket as the only means
left them of serving notice that they
would no longer submit to be d~isfran-
chised at the Convention and yet
driven to ratify its nominations at the
polls. The tactics Of the Presidents
friends suficed for Saratoga but failed
when spread out over the State and
similar causes elsewhere have led to
the same result.
Tie figures in this State tell the
story. Yhe lowest ebb the Republican
party has reached in New York was
in the middle Of General Grant 5
scandalOus second term, when the
Democrats had a majority OF fifty
thousand. Before that, the Repubh
can low water mark had been toward
the close Of Andrew Johnson's
Administration, when the Democrats
reached nearly fo~rty-eight thousand.
The State went against Hayes 10 lS7t
by thirty-two thousand; but that able
and upright officer. so much abused
by the architects Of yesterdays eolos
sal disaster, succeeded. the very mex
year, ia reducing this figure TO eleven
thousand, aud thencetorEard carried
the State By steadily increasing major
tiles. In 1878 it was Republican b.
thirty four thousand; in 1879 BIZ forty,
two tho7sand. and 10 1850 By forty.
four thousand. Now in Mr.. Arthur
nerveless hands, and under the mslig

Courtship Frauds.
New York Special.


A wealthy widower in Pennsylvania
three or four days before the formal
engagement which proceed ed his sec
ond marriage transferred to trustees
all his real estate, to be held iu trust
for himself during his life, and after
his death to be conveyed to his three
children by his first wife. When the
trust deed was executed il was under.
stood between him and his intended
bride that they were soon tn become
engaged to be married. She knew
that he was possessed Of a large
amount Of property, but at the time
OF her marriage she was ignorant of
the secret transfer that had been
made. Very soon after they
we're married the husband died,
when the trust deed, whose effect ii
valid would have been to deprive the
widow of her dover, was brought to
light. In spite ofthe deed she claimed
her share in the estate and sued the
trustees. The Court of Common Pleas
has just decided the case in her favor
and allows her her dover. 1t holds
that the secret conveyance made by
her sutton during their courtship and
'on the eve Of marriage with her wa.
a fraud in law against her just expee.
t%ations and conjugal rights which were
about to be acquired by her," And
this, the court remark', would b.
equally SO under the circumstances O
this case whether fraud was intended
or the property was conveyed in gooC
faith.
