The chances are about even that he will drift

he passes beyond Madison square He is a six
footer, with Dutchman's heavy figure, bury
in proportions but not FAT! and has a we'll sea
soned face on which the only hirsute adornment
is heavy mustache. This is the man who gave
$4,000 out of the Astors $780, 600 900 to the pro-

He is just now building a mile and half of

price, but they never have to ask twice to have

Its being vacant may bring about an inyestipa-

WHEN QUEEN NATALIE visited her son the
other day. that Juvenile monarch first gave her
military salute, and then addressed her in the
following words. which had been prepared for
him by his tutor: AS king am bound to re-
spect my own person and our, laws and consti-
tuition, and these have compelled me regretfully
hitherto to decline to see my mother; for was
under the orders of my father, who freely gave
me my crown, and whose behests shall always

Natalie said: My dear child, you are too
young to talk in this fashion. This year YOU
ought to be playing with boys of your own age
| Now, you should abstain from reading news
papers until You are older; apply yourself to
hard books, and obediently follow the advice of
your teachers. Honor your father and mother

EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS have been made
be photographed in costume, but as heretofore
they have always failed. He insists that the
only photograph circulated of him shall be the
one which represents him as he appears on the
street. and so the public at large and the col
lectors of photographs are unable to retain any
souvenirs of some of his most remarkable
creations in the way of facial and picturesque
personal decorations His makeup as Sam
son" is remarkable picture of a sturdy and
sullen brute, and his "Othello'' is worth pre-

nor has it the faintest likeness to Salvini in pri-
i vate life Booth, Barrett, and most of the
| other tragedians object to wearing heavy Wigs
or gluing hair to the face for different charac-
/ tiers, but Salvini's makeup is always designed
to totally obliterate not only the memories of
his other characters, but to create certain
well-defined and distinct impressions in the
minds of the spectators. They are in a word
thoroughly artistic and original, and it is a
pity that he so persistently refuses to have
them recorded by the camera. He is, BY the
way, a remarkably headstrong man. and he has
carried his personal thrift to such an extent
that it more than encroaches upon the domain
of meanness, but as a tragedian he has place
in the hearts of Americans which apparently
nothing can disturb.
