Harriot is good business man and house. keeper; he manages the infinite amount of cor respondence required to make the engage ments of his wife, and goes along to superin- tend both her health and playing. She travels with a company, and the procuring of this and keeping things in order occupies a mans whole time from September until april Mr. Harriot says that there gre more theatrs being erected in America now than et any time in his experience, and that nearly every theater wants some prominent star to come and open it, that he is beset.
 There is hardly any actress of our day with the literary qualifications of Clara Morris This is the more remarkable because her health is very precarious. Nevertheless she looks better now than for the past ten years; her flesh seems harder, the lines of her inter esting face more expressive, and she has re- markedly seeing eyes, which not only carry mental force, but certain kind of aspiration In her conversation she is very original, is an excellent critic, and is qr:te capable of taking play to pieces and trensposing it so as to mend the defect of the author, who may have made an anti-climax. She desires to play some new parts, but the demand is greater for her to continue in the roles she has been giving for almost twenty years. I think she is about 36 years old but at home she looks to be young girl who had hardly yet entered upon married life. Her mother Mrs. Morris, is quiet, happy natured woman, greatly absorbed in her daughter

The fact is that the prohibition sentiment of Iowa has become so dominant through the agitation of the ques- tion by non-p -partison methods that even othe Democratic party has become leavened with it, and the Democrats from the rural districts have been able to control the whisky Demo- crats from the large cities in the direction of prohibition.
