tin whistle, out of which he sounded
series of shrill squeaks. He was very

Early Career Of Clara Morris.

Bob Miles was in n talka,ive mood
last night, says the Ctnct,indtt san,
and i; did not require a very energetic
application of the pump-handlc to yet
him to rehearse some "reminiscences.
From things and people purely local the
conversation drlfted to Clara Morris,
of whom Mr.. Miles said:
For three years Clara Morris was
ballet girl in John Elslcr's corps.
During that time sho never spoke a
word upon the stage. Discovering
that she had dramatic talent. Eilslcr
gave her speaking parts, and so rapid
was her progress that at the expiration
OF three years more she was doing
leading business and he gave her wider
opportunity and experience by having
her placed as leading lady in Woods
tbeater in this city. under the manage
ment Of MaCaulcy. Meanwhile he en-
deavorcd to make an opening for her
in the east, believing that to be sue
cessful she would have to pass the
critical judgment of that portion of
the country. He wrote about his
woman wonder to Mrs. John Drew, of
the Arch Street theater. and to the
tbduhSci Vi luc W iIHul DlItet lntateT
in Philadelphia, and also to Wallack
aud DAILY in New York. Mrs. john
Drew made a courteous reply, stating
that her company was completely
filled. The Walnut Street thcatcr's
manager made a similar reply. Mr..
Wallack never even acknowledged the
receipt Of the letter. Mr.. DAILY said he
would give the western girl trial pro-
yided she came to him willing to play
any part he might give her This was
consented TO. Ellsler told the Now
York manager that his protegc would
become great emotional actress.
After his first interview with her Daily
said: 'Ellsler, you are mistaken about
that girl, but she will become great

ance in New York Clara Morris was
cast for a minor part in Man and
Wife At the last moment, after the
bills lad been printed. the lady who
was to assume the leading role had q
misunderstanding with Mr.. DAILY and
threw up her part. In this emergency
the New York manager telegraphed to
Mr. Eilsler an inquiry as TO whether
Clara Morris was equal to the leading
part Try her. was the laconic re-
sponse. he did. and she made a great
success, and thenceforth divided the
honors Of the play and the favors of
the house with Miss Fanny Davenport.

Even European travellers OF scientific
training have made notable mistakes

explorers, supposed to bo sixteen feet
high proved TO be less than ten feet
