Frank Naxo,s Leading Lady.

New York Tribune
Frank Mayo, who was in the city over Sunday
with his company, on the way from Washington
to New Haven has for a leading lady an Indiana
girl who made hit at Washington among the
politicians who were there by the manner in
which she paid compliment to the President.
Her name is Alice Fisher, and che is protego
called home to make political speech, but had
made it the duty of one of the Indiana nembers
of Congress to take Miss Fisher to call on the
President, who was kind enough to receive her
in advance of Senators kenna, Camden, German
and others who were waiting for an audience
with him. The conversation opened like this,
the President speaking first: II am glad to Sea
you, Miss Fisher. / assure you | am glad to seq
you after what Senator Voorhees, has told me
about you"
II, too, am glad, Mr.. President. for this oppor-
tunity. So this is the President of the United
States. You are the first President that / have
ever SEEN"
The President looked at Miss Fisher quizzing-
ly as much as to ask whether she was guying
him. and said 'What-the first President that
you have ever seenW
Certainly, sir" was the response ''You are
the first Democratic President in Office since
was born, and, consequently, the first President
on whom have ever gazed. The Republicans
did not count with me-"
You fatter me" said the President, as he
laughed; 'and / can see from your hattery that
you come from that land of politicans-Indiana."
Miss Fisher rejoined that, although from Ia
diana, she had not come to ask for any office,
and with that the conversation drifted into
other matters, the President expressing the
hope that the young lady might reach the top
round of fame in the profession which she had
chosen.

The Negro Progresses.

Atlanta Constitution
Hon. Mark Blandford, of the Georgia Supreme
Court, has son who was recently engaged in q
stupendous effort to master Greek. One night
the young man was poring over his lesson, sore.
ly perplexed and in dire distress. In the room
was negro boy whose business around the
place was to curry and feed the horses, black
boots and do similar work. The negro listened
for quite while to the walls of the young stu
dent, and then said:
'Marse Bob. | can read that for you"
''You!" exclaimed the young man. you're a
fool; this is Greek
Cant help it," replied the negro. 81 can read
it."
The book was handed to him. and the negro
read right along When he had finished, Judge
Blandford asked:
where in the mischief did you learn to read
Greekl'
"At the Atlanta University, quietly responded
the negro
With all his knowledge of Greek the boy
was only doer of chores--a much more com
mendable occupation, however, than loafng or
stealing.

1t is really disgraceful that taxpayers should
be asked to defray the cost of all royal passages
across the Channel Every time the Prince of
Wales crosses to CALAIS or Boulogne the public
have to pay $40, and even the travelling expenses

people receive large allowances, out of which
they ought to be made to defray such expenses
instead of cadging on the taxpayers in this
scandalous fashion, especially as the whole of
these passages are mere pleasure trips. If the
ordinary steamers are not good enough for the
royalties, let them hire special boats at their
own expense. as they can we'll afford to do,

The one with heart of flame he gave to her.
Whose eyes yelled from his own sins bitter cost,
With throbbing pulses and with heart astir.
Entranced by eyes that held an Eden lost.
The other-lily- pale, dropped on it's stalk
He gave to her, his souls pure love unstained
Whose sanity eyes and sweet unworthy talk
Held less an Eden lost than heaven regained
And when he died one wept, but dried her tears
Serenely hopeful of brighter day;
Against the others heart through dull slow years,
Till both alike we're dust, the red rose lay.
