Miss Helen Blythe, the charming "Nel-
lie Denver of ''The Silver King COM
pany, which played in Savannah some
weeks ago, is the possessOr of a terrier of
high degree in which she takes great
pride. Theatre gOers will remember the
demonstrations of the young canine which
attracted so much attention on the stage
here. The other day in Nashville Miss
Blythe left her pet, to which she is so de-
yotedly attached, in her room. The tenn
porary separation deeply distressed his
terriership, and to show his grief he pro-
ceeded to demOlisE valuable shawl. On
Miss Blythe's return she found frag-
mentary portions of the fabric scattered
in various portions Of the room. This
little exhibition of canine resent
ment cost something like $50. 1t is
Miss Blvthe's custom when she goes tothe
theatre in the evening to take the terrier
with her. He is wrapped in shawl and
Immediately goes to sleep, or at least re-
Iapses into perfect state of rest. But
the minute Miss Blythe dOns the hand
some costume she wears in the final
scene. doggy pricks up his ears and be-
trays other signs that he knows 1t is al
most time to 20 home. When the curtain
drops and Nellie re-enters the dressing
room. the terrier is dancing about, eX-
pressing his delight, and signifying his
readiness for the return to the hotel. He
is very intelligent animal, and no little
thing like $50 shawl could for a moment
interrupt the amicable relations between
him and his mistress.

The Irish Question.

Editor Morning NelCS: Why don'tyOur
contributor upon Irish matters, SC, !" use
a signature which will lead to a suspicion,
at least, of his identity. Why not sign
himself, for instance, J. c. d., should
those be he his initials, or, if they are
not, sign the letters which he claims as
being his initials? We recognize the
modesty of your contributor, but we sub
nit whether it is not a false mOdesty
which seeks to hide his merit and ability
behind a single C. Surely, sir, the gen
tleman is not ashamed to champion mis-
cause over his own name, or at least over
his own initials! Let him come out from
his hiding place and talk openly and NAH
fully as men should do when approaching
such a momentous question as nations
right to ''life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness"

original, ] beg to sign myself,
