then there was Joyan himse lf-Joyan the
nature-made, the nature-bred, who hated
the critic and spoiled the player, Jovan the
man. strong and unruly, self-asserting and
| tenacious; Jovan who would be himself
when he ought to be somebody else who,
when the player changed his coat and went
before the audience, followed him close and
would not be left behind.
"One must change not ones dress only.
but ones body and ones soul also, if one
would be an actor" said the violinist, and
that Jovan would not do.
When Jovan was in love, he PLAYED like
a lover, when he had wicked mood he
| played like villain, when he was good he
| PLAYED like saint, and it did not do at all.
Jovan lived, or rather wandered about the
world with his mother; she had Eastern
blood in her. and it was from her he had got
his name "Jovan." The Germans turned it
into Johann. His father had been rich
English merchant, trader N the East, sue
cessful, inscriptions, cold-hearted and
luxurious; for the rest the story was an old
one-it was first written in the book of Cen
esis-and Jovan and his mother were driven
forth as Hagar and Ishmael of old, with this
difference. that Jovan was of age, and that
no angel appeared to succor them in their
journeying.
J0van and Hagar were poor and they
were vagrants, but they got on we'll enough
to be happy. The 'little mother" was an
actress by birth and mimic of some skill.
and when Jovan failed she succeeded
enough to keep body and soul together,
though more she could not accom- pllsh. As
for Jovan, there was no counting on him.
Sometimes for days he would bury himself
in his books, books he would starve to buy;
then they would be thrown aside, forgotten,
and he would pass days and nights with
wild companions, till he wearied of them
too, and found some other pleasure or in
terest to usurp dominion over him. He
could like but one thing at a time, he
ayowed.
"You cannot hate and you cannot love,
no, not for one month together, my Jovan,"
said his mother. "Not for one month, no,
nor for one week. Do not trust him, child,
do not trust him."
Jovan was sitting in the window of the
poor little room where last they had pitched
their tent; he was then, it might be, % years
of age;the Servian woman was some II years
older, but still the beauty of her youth
clung to her, as loath to quit one who had
"loved it so WE'LL" A'girl, hardly more than
a child in years, leaned against the frame
work of the dusty window panes. She was
so close to Jovan that her hair, falling loose
to her waist, touched his shoulder; he took a
handful of the soft yellow threads, and
slipped them round and through his fingers,
and smiling back at his mother he drew the
girl nearer.
LET her go, let her 60, Jovan," said the
Servian woman, searching their faces with
keen, kind eyes.
eyes, let her 60. let her CO." echoed
Jovan, with his laugh (Which was the only
beautiful thing about him). "Who keeps
her?"

"He is bad actor" said the manager Of
the strolling company of players where
Jovan made his first appearance, and so said
the first violin Of the orchestra of the little
country town theater where Jovan tried his
luck the second time. The violinist was an
old man and had a great deal of experience,
SO that was discouraging; worse still, the
audience said the same thing, and worse
even than that was to come, for one day
something inside Joyan said it too.
HE is bad actor" so said the part of
Jovan that did not go on the stage, the part
of him that stood with the manager at the
wings of the theater, that watched him flom
the orchestra, that sat in the front rows with
the audience, the part which looked at him
from outside, which shook its head when he
cane before the footlights, which waited for
him at the door and walked home
with him through the empty streets when
the play was over. There was Jovan the
player, and there was Jovan the critic, and

FATHER STRAUB'S SUCCESSOR
Selected, and Expected TO Arrive Here In
Few Days.

The American province of the Order of
the Holy Ghost has appointed Superior, a
successor to the late Father Straub, who was
the founder of the order in this country.
The new Superior is the Very Rev. John
>Oster, who is at present Superior
of the college and monastery of the
Order of the Holy Ghost on the
Island of st. Pierre, near Newfoundland.
Father Oster was born near Strasburg,
Germany, in 1846. He has already left
Newfoundland for his new field, and is ex-
pected to arrive in Pittsburg next week.
1t has not yet been decided whether the
new provincial will take up his seat at the
Pittsburg Catholic College or at the 81.
Joseph's Monastery, near Conway, Ark,
which place he will visit shortly after his
arrival here, but it is supposed that he will
remain here permanently.

1t is thought by some that there were two
races of people-the Indians and the Mound
Builders, who had had precedence of the
whites in North America. Be that as it may,
there are distinctive features observed in the
remains discovered that warrant belief, at
least, of an earlier and later period of prim-
tive occupation of certain sections of the
country. The following account of the dis
coveries of an exploring party may serve to
throw additional light upon this interesting
snbject:
The existence of a large prehistoric
mound, located on Peters creek, has been
known for many years. Mr. Isaac Yohe,

AN INVALID BURNED TO DEATH
While Attempting to Walk With n LAM
in Her Hand,


PATERSON, n. j., April AIRS Carrie
Young, aged 40 years, was found dead in
her rooms on Northwest street, this city,
this morning bya lad who called with a
message. The woman had been i'll for sew
eral days, and was visited and cared for
until late hour last night by friends.
When discovered her body was lying in the
center of her room burned almost to a crisp.
Beside it was broken lamp.
She had left her bed and attempted to
walk with the lamp in her hand when, be-
ing overcome by weakness she fell and her
clothing caught fire, and she vas slowly
roasted to death. The floor was very little
burned. Nobody discovered the blaze or
even smelled the smoke. The woman's
husband had deserted her and the charred
remains were taken to the morgue.

NEWPORT, R. l., April 4.-The supple

the mound had never been disturbed, except
as it had been plowed over season after
season in an attempt to level it.
Originally it was four feet higher than at
present, but did not cover so much surface.
There are no trees or stumps nearer than
800 or 400 yards. 1t is more than probable
that the entire field has been free from tim
Der growth for long period, which may in
part account for its selection as location
for the mound. The party found the mound
higher than mans head, with diameter
OF so feet. As intimated before, its dimen-
sions were originally quite different, likely
about s or 10 feet in height and 40 feet or
less in width. If there had ever been any
so-called intrusive burials they were proba-
bly, leveled away with the pillow long ago, as
no indications were to be discovered.

Beginning the work of excavation, the

SOME PECULIAR FACTS.

It is an odd circumstance that the first
field is covered with an unlimited quantity
of small pieces Of slaty stone, while the Sec
ond field is entirely free from stone of auy
kind. The first field is also very thickly
strewn with flint chips. A most beautiful
flint drill was picked up and many perfect
arrow heads. Near the center are
the ruins of two boulder mounds
one of which was investigated by digging
a trench through it, but nothing was
found save a few pieces of bone. On the
could be discovered, but in the center was
the large clay mound which had attracted
the visiting party. No amount of specula-
tion brought any satisfactory explanation as
to why this particular spot should have been
selected for the site of a mound. The prop
erty is owned by Messrs. L n. and S. P.
