Mis- Esteli. clayton.

The public had an opportunity last
night Of seeing one who is considered
by many TO be the most beautiful
woman on the American stage. Cor.
tainly Miss Clayton is the most beauti.
full woman that ever played to Padu-
cab audience.
The play she presented was the
dramatixation Of Amelie Rives' cele-
brated novel, "The Quick or the
Dead" which caused such sensation
some time ago in literary circles, and
while the plot is tho same, some Of the
most sensational scenes arc omitted.
Miss Clayton took the character OF
'Barbara" and sustained it admirably.
The love-making scenes were quite
natural and realistic, holding the
audience in perfect sympathy with her.
In the last act, where she pauses be.
tween her duty to the dead or the liv.
ing, she was especially fine and demon.
strated her powers as an actress Of no
ordinary ability. Miss Clayton's sup.
port was excellent. Mr.. Wallis as
"Jock Dering," and Mr.. Fairbanks az
"Col. Sam Buzxy," the latter espe,.
tally, were good.
Miss Clayton was given several cur
tain calls, to which shc'responded most
gracefully.
The audience was the largest and
most fashionable that has assembled
this season, and all seemed more than
pleased with the performance. The
costumes worn were elegant and be-
coming and attracted considerable at
tention. --Pdducah Standard.

Railroad in the Arctic Circle.

An important engineering enterprise
now in progress is a railroad in the arc
tic circle. The Swedish and Norwegian
railroad now building from Lulea, on
the Gulf of Bothnia. to Luffoden, on the
North sea, is partly situated within the
arctic circle and is some 1900 miles fur.
Their north than any railroad In Canada.
An interesting meteorological fact stated
in relation to this work is that the snow
fall is bound to be actually less than In
some more southern ATTITUDES, while the
darkness of the long winter nights has
been partly compensated by the light Of
the aurora. The object in view in con-
structing this line is to tap the enormous
deposits Of iron ore in the Geliivara
mountains, the approximate exhaustion
of the ore in the Bilbao district render
ing very desirable new field of non
phosphoric ore suitable for steel raj
making. Brooklyn Eagle.

Dream hallowed hourl when drifting dusk aut

Roll from the dying glory Of the west;
And shadows woven Ia the governed breast
or yondrr beacou, engthen down the glade.
From beck and mere the mlrror'd glories fade;
And mother souls secure In fold and nest
Gather their sleepy murrnurers into rest
OF yielded limbs and silence. Dimly arrayed
In dusk and silver Of the night, and fair
With lily stars the daughter Of the day
Trails Of the sunlight in her floating hair
And tender CLEAN Of reverie In gray

For one brief hour of dream and shadow sway.
