MARY ANDERSON.
The Beautiful Actress Is Not
in a Mad House.
WILL SHE BRING SUIT FOR LIBELi

Some Anecdotes That Arc Rendered Timely
ing Her Now Declared to BE without
Foundation.
It is not at all clear In the mind Of the dear
public as to who started the story that Mary
Anderson has been sent to a private mad
house. There are those who say they think
that the rumor gained ground because Miss
Anderson thought its circulation would ad-
vertise her.
1t isn't at all likely that their guess is a
good one. Perhaps some of the Kentucky
girls satellites are responsible for It, but not
Mary. No woman who is as sensitive to crit
icism as is Mary Anderson would be a party
to the PRONUNCIATION of a story that she was
suffering from the dreadful malady called
paresis. Her confessor, Father Purcell, says
she is recovering from a long period of nerv-
Gus prostration brought on by overwork and
long American railway journeys And he
adds that somebody ought to suffer, either
by having to pay heavy libel damages or
otherwise. But it isn't likely any suit for
libel Will be brought.
CAUSE FOR ANNOYANCE.
Miss Anderson's illness began just after her
appearance in st. Louis last year. One critic
then said of her:
She is a long llmbed, expressionless featured
woman, with n reach that would make n prize
fighters fortune and n voice that Is large and
somewhat rich, but that has never been attuned
to agreeable music and that can no more Interpret
the low, sweet melodies OF tho soul than a mule
can sing a lullaby or a buzz saw can MARBLE 1.-THE
Last Rose OF Summer.
Another wrote:
As for Perdita, tho delIneation Of the sweet,
girlish r~usticity and roseate warmth OF love which
crown the character OF this delicious creation Of
Shakespeare is as far beyond Mary Anderson as

THE oARsMAN's SECRET HELPER

A word as to the high pressure. With an
oarsman of $50 pounds weight sliding %
inches, and the vibrator 81 inches between
%centers, there would be an average of 9 to /,
or when figured down to the piston pressure
it would give 90 pounds to the square inch.
The inventor has used this propeller in an or
binary lapstreaked boat and obtained a speed
of two or three miles an hour without any
other means of propulsion.
1t Is expected to make a difference of hall
a minute to the mile in n three mile race and
of three-fourths of a minute In a longer race.

HE Carried TIE BASKET.

A lady who lives in the suburbs was
down in the city last evening buying
marketing. She had large basket full
and was going to the corner Of Ninth
street and st. Helen's avenue for the
purpose OF taking the motor line for her
home. She has petite and rather
youthful figure, but is about fifty years
OF age and has been widow for decade.
A dapper young man, who was also q
"masher," saw her and approaching,
asked if he might not help her home
with her basket. Now this widow hates
dapper young men and especially
Washers; therefore she told the young
man he might see her home and carry
her basket. He thought he had made
an immense hit and he also thought in
the dim light that the widow was q
beautiful young lady. The widow
transferred her basket to the dapper
young mans arm and relinquished her
idea Of riding home in the horse cars,
in order that she might have large
bushel basketfuI of fun, she started
with her escort for walk of about if
teen ife-size, full-length squares. The
basket got frightfully heavy in about
five blocks; in ten it was huge white
elephant, and by the time the two
reached the lady's residence it was one
of the pyramids of Egypt, and the
dapper young man was badly blown
and altogether broken UP. The widow
rang the bell at her door and grown
young lady came, asking: why, ma,
what did you ring the bell for? The
door was not locked" The dapper
young man almost tainted, and when
the widow said, wont you come in,
sir? My husband would be very glad
to see you" He was paralyzed. But he
recovered quickly and went away from
there, and that widow has been having
convulsive fits of laughter ever since, in
which she is ably seconded by her
daughter and the remainder of the
family. The masher has been taking
iron and quinine ever since to build ul
his strength. Tacoma Globe.

HEiDING TIE SCRIPTURES FROM +,
Law BOOK.

The Rev. James Buckley, editor of
the Christian Aduocute, is the pos
SCISSOR OF a remarkable memory. To
this he owes much OF his success as a
preacher and debater. In the conven-
lions of ecclesiastical bodies OF the
Methodist Church, Mr.. Buckley is
known all over the country for his
readiness for quoting precedent and law
apropos to the subject under discussion.
Mr.. Buckley relates an incident in his ex-
perience in which this faculty came into
play to good purpose. He was called
to oi1iclate at funeral, and when the
mourners and friends had all assembled
large book was handed to him from
which to read the appropriate Scrip
t'lral lesson. On opening the book Mr.,
Buckley was surprised to see that if
contained the laws OF the State of Com
necticut. Without hesitation or show
ing the least embarrassment he BEGAN
leaping through the book until he Lca
reached that portion of the Connecticut
laws where the golden bowl, the pitcher
broken ut the fountain, and similar bro.
phetlc passages are recorded from tho
Bible. Bending his eyes upon tho
DOCK he began to read the chapter from
memory. So cleverly was this dove
that not one person present suspected
the dry verbiage of the Nutmeg Stato
law was beng translated into the servii,

stood on the edge of the forest. A great

LACE all the trees had been cut down as
precaution against the gorilla. One
night one of these animals came out OF
the forest, got up into the big tree
which overhung the woman's house,
climbed down on the roof, threw the
roof off, swung down into the hut,
seized the woman climbed up through
the hole in the roof up into the tree and
went away into the woods, carrying the
woman with him. His great strength
made this an easy thing for him to do.
He could hold her in one arm and with
his two hind legs and his one forearm
make his way up and down trees or
through the woods. The woman was
gone for many days. The people saw
that her house roof had been torn off.
They looked carefully around the house
and saw that there WAS no tracks what
ever. They. then knew that the dread
enemy had carried her off. One day
she came back. She told wonderful
story. The gorilla had carried her for
miles into the woods, and finally had
climbed great tree and deposited hex
in his home. There he had treated her
very kindly, brought her food and
drink, but would not permit her to
leave. After watching her carefully
for many days he finally left her, prob
ably intending to return in a short
time, convinced that she would remain.
The woman came down to the ground
and after wandering in the forest fol
several days made her way back to the
village. The people at first We're about
to kill her, but they finally concluded
that she was possessed Of extraordinary
powers. They therefore built her q
house for herself, supplied her with
every comfort, and looked up to her as
a sacred person."

The London leper has caused, I hear,

there has always been lots Of leprosy in
the world, but that we know nothing
about it, because the doctors give it a
fine Greek name. Why not translate
ali the new Greek names Of diseases
into graphic English? If there were a
descriptive name that we could under
stand for every malady, long step
would be taken towards curing them.
What meaning, for instance, does the
word eczema convey to the unlearned
mind? Whenever hear doctors Civ
ing evidence to jury, l feel as if they
were talking in a foreign language,
which nobody but themselves can un'
derstand. 1t would perhaps startle the
world to hear that the Prince of Wales
leper could find his match in palace in
this city, where there is a leper high
and mighty from q heraldic standpoint.
