Blythe combines as an actress the perfect
symmetry and art Of the French school Of
acting with the added strength of the Saxon.

There has been great many complaints
of late about the Fort Scott road backing
| their cars over the end Of the track and out
on First street. and allowing them to remain
there sometimes twcnty-four hours at a

compelling pedestrians to travel through
the mud in the middle of the street. The
eompany's officers are requested to see to it
that this thing is stopped.

One Of the many interesting anec-
dotes told by Gen. E. ID. Reyes in bis
Fifty Years Observation of men and
Events just published by Charles
Scribner's Sons, is the following, con
corning Horace Greeley and Gen.
Scott Il remember that in the first
canvass Of Gen. Scott for the presi-
dency, Horace Greeley came to me in
he cars one day, and asked me to ex-
plain WilkiI sons charge against Scott
for using his soldiers money. ! was
not then able to detail all the facts,
but | told Mr.. Greeley that the charge
was slanderous, and that it arose from
transaction usual in the army, and
which was the result of forgetfulness
or slight error in accounts. | had
never before seen Mr. Greeley, who
was then beginning TO attract notice
as the editor Of the New York Tribune.
AT that time he was about IS years
