THE critic of the Chicago Tribune
heard Ellen Terry. who plays with
Irving. He finds that "her voice is
laden with some Of the sweetness OF
a whisper and some Of the softness OF
a sigh. Her soul speaks through her
eyes as well as through her lips, and
her joyousness is Greciap. not Eng.

WE often see floating around what
purport to be the causes of Stephen
Girard's antipathy to ministers, but
seldom do the facts appear, as given
by an intimate friend of his, who
was: fully cOnversant with them.
Shortly after he was married Girard
sailed to one of the foreign ports with
IA cargo. leaving his wife in Phila-
delphia. He was absent many
months, and upon his return hastened
to meet the one who was so dear to
him, and in whose company he antic-
ipated so much happiness. Some.
thing in the meeting chilled him. yet
he could not tell what. He quietly
began an investigation to learn what
had caused the estrangement, and to
his horror soon discovered that dur.
ing his absence, a young minister, a
friend OF his family, had brought a
STAN upon his household. He cast
his wife from him, and she soon af.
ter died brOken-hearted. From the
day Of that discovery until his death
his hand was against ministers. and
his hatred yet lives i'm the restrictions
placed about the famous college which
bears his name
