ing part, and almost at once became an &C
copied London fayorite. She came to Ameri-
ca with Sothern, and after one season with
him was engaged by Lester Wallack as lead
ing lady, playing many parts for several
years She has an unusually large repertoire.
In private life she is honored and very greatly
loved, being a woman of high character and
many accomplishments, refined artist and
conversationalist of rare scope and vivacity.
She was born in Peterborough, England, in
1853 and married on Easter Sunday, 1885, to
Clinton G. Edgerly, q young lawyer of Bos-
ton. Aside from these two important dates
in womans life, her existence has been like
that of other good English girls" and con-
scientious artists. Her lineage is French and
Irish. Her first appearance, at Greenock,
Scotland, was as a witch in Macbeth and
her first great hit in London was as lilly
Price in q rather free dramatization OF
Nicholas Nickleby" She has also won great
applause as Mary Meredith in ''Our Ameri-
can Cousin" Alice in Brother SAM" Mrs.
Honeymoon in ga Happy Pair and many
other leading roles. In parts like Lady
Teazle, Lady Gay Spanker and Peg Voting
ton she has varied somewhat from the tradi-
tons of the stage and given delight by saucy
and piquant innovations. She retired from
the Wallack company in the season Of
1SS7-S8, refusing to play part assigned her
in the "Abbe Constantine and the usual dis
cussion between manager and actress en-
iyened the dramatic press for some time.

PLAYING A PRINCESS PART.
Mile. Leisinger, Who Married Prince AL
exander of Battenberg.

Mile. Leisinger, Who Married Prince Al
exander of Battenberg.
Prince Alexander of Battenberg, by his re
cent marriage has completed the status of
being a connecting link between an imperial
government and the stage. His brother is q
son-in-law of Queen Victoria, and his wife is
an opera singer. Mile. Leisinger, whom
Alexander married, is of humble birth. She
is tall and slender, with blue eyes and auburn
hair. She sang in Paris and received great
ovation. Then she sang in Berlin, where she
attracted equal attention. When she re-
turned to Paris again so great is the antip-
athy for anything German that her singing
in Berlin caused the Parisians to hiss her off
the stage.
Prince Alexander was engaged to a sister
of the present Emperor of Germany, and the
young people were supposed to be very much
attached to one another, but for reasons of
state Bismarck interfered and broke off the
match. The person with whom he has con-
soled himself is said to be the daughter of a
Tyrolean peasant, and her mother is occu-
pied at the somewhat trying, though honor
able, calling Of keeping a boarding house.

Y
Harris Writes of the
Famous Player.
CTJTT
HIS VERY GREAT POPULARITY.
Why He Played Better at the Close Of Last
Season Than at the BeginningROse
COghlan's Training.

The player who is at present attracting the
greatest attention and is the most talked
about of any one in the baseball profession is
John Montgomery Ward, at present mem
Der Of the New York team, and prospect
lively q captain and manager of the Wash
ington team.
Few people, comparatively, know Ward as
he is. He is as different in most respects
from the average ball player as the day
is from the night AS ball player merely
/ consider him, in his position of shortstop,
to have no superior now in the business, and
there are only two men on the diamond,
MesTs Edward williamson of the Chicago
team, and John Glascock, of the indianapolis
club, who have any license to pose as his
equals. As batsmaE during the past two
years Ward has led Williamson in the aver
ages In 1887 he stood fifth in the league on
actual hits, and beat Giascock almost out of
sight Last season Glascock made the best
batting record, but Wards batting was more
opportune, and was worth more to his club,
because it came in q streak during the last
two months of the season. As q base runner
Ward, when he is in proper form, is simply
a wonder, and he ranks as the most daring
and successful stealer of bases, in close games,
engaged in the profession.
A pretty good criterion of Wards value as
u ball player is to be found in his record dur
JSng the worlds championship series last sea
son. Nothing like his work for continued
successful effort in those games is recorded in
the history of the sport. In the first five
games he had twenty-six fielding chances,
most of them difficult, and he accepted
twenty-five of them, a fielding average of
900. In seventeen times at bat he made six
. base hits an average of 1853, which was ten
points better than Anson's, who led the
league with .343 In five Of the times in
which Ward did not hit safely, he made sac
rifice hits, fully as valuable as base hits In
these five games he made two runs, batted in
four more, aided in batting in two runs and
was thus responsible Tor the scoring of eight
of the eighteen runs made by the Giants. He
stole six of the twenty-five bases pilfered by
the team in these five games. Altogether
Ward played eight games in the series-all
that were important, as the last two were
NIrlesques of baSeball-and his record for
these games in every department was better
than any player of either team, and even
counting in the two final gamess only one
man, Milligan, of the Browns, had a higher
batting average.

Rose Cogh1an, the Daughter of an English
Clergyman, and Her Life.
Rose Coghlan, the charming actress, and
her brother Charles are striking instances of
the truth that the true artist is born, not
made. Training is indispensable, Of course;
but if the spark of native genius is not there,
all the cultivation of all the masters will not
enable the histrionic performer to set the au-
dience ablaze. The father of these artists
was an English clergyman, of a class appar-
emily least likely to develop any tendency to-
wards the stage; yet the son very early be-
came favorite of London theatre goers, and
Rose, who first saw her brother act when she
was 16 years old, at once became enamored of
the profession and determined to become an
actress.

PRINCE ALEXANDER AND MILE. LEISINGER
Now that both the brothers Battenberg have
been provided with women who are quite
able to support them perhaps the people of
Europe, especially the crowned heads and
prime ministers who have been SO long afraid
that Alexander would carry off princess,
will rest easy. If Nile. Leisinger would con-
suit the career of Madame Patti, who mar
ried the Marquis Of Caux, and found the
marquis an expensive and disagreeable
luxury, she might draw an inference as TO
how such marriages are apt to turn out.
However, to be a princess is worth some risk,
