Some audiences that play to have very
queer effect on me. can't see the people
in the audience across the footlights, but
they look like lot of little white spots.
Something like the top of my japanese
dolls head. The doll isn't pretty, but 1 do
like most Of the people 1 play to, even if l
can't see them. can feel the audience, too.
Sometimes they don't applaud, and then I
try to play better, so as to make them like
me. But do like to have the people feel
what am saying and acting. Then every
thing seems nice, and like everybody.
New York people follow the words closer
than any other place I've been in, and I
like them. I've never been nervous on the
stage yet. but Dora (she's my sister) is very
nervous. l can make her forget her words,
but she can't make me do it. They say it is
ungIrl-like for me to do il, but then its lots
of fun. like to play for children best, be-
cause think they understand and feel for
the ragged prince quicker than grown-up
people.
1 don't think about the play when 1 am
off the stage, because my doll Aladdin and
my dog TOdkins have to be looked after all
the time. Aladdin does wear his clothes
out so fast and Toxins always wants to 20
on the stage. Mr.. Frohman says he will be
fined if he does. When think about nv
audiences I believe like them all and
everybody else.

The Poet Laureate One of the Gifted Ac-
tress' Wnrmest Friends.
New Evening York SUM-
Lord Tennyson's present illness has
brought to mind the following pretty story,
told by visitor on the Isle of Wight last
summer. He was wandering about in bit
of wood near the poets home, hoping to
catch glimpse Of him, when he came upon
a delightful little woodland scene Under
a big tree sat an old man in a rough gray
frIeze coat and soft felt hat pulled down
over his shaggy gray hair. Beside him sat
a charming young girl. She was just filling
his pipe from leather tobacco pouch that
lay IN her lap. 1t seemed like nothing so
much as a good gray forester resting from
his labor and ministered to by dutiful
daughter. But it was Tennyson and Mary
Anderson.
If there are any persons more fond of
Mary Anderson than Lord Tennyson is,
they are Alma Tadema and William Black,
whose affection for the actress is, happily,
quite matched by that of Mrs. Black for the
same person. It was with the Blacks in
Scotland that Mary Anderson spent large
share of her time during her illness last
summer.
AS for Alma Tadema, lie is said to be in a
constant state of painting Mary Anderson
in every possible pose OF each of her i'm
presentations, as we'll as in her own proper
person, and is never so happy as when de-
signing a new gown or planning new stage
setting at the request of the fair actress.

TWO CLEVER OLD EAGLES.
Their Scheme to Prevent the Capture of
Their NesIIlnGs.
New York Times.1


Their NesIIlnRs.
New York Times.l
"About 20 years ago." said an old rail-
road builder, SCI was engaged in building a
big Western road, and one spring day we
pitched our camp on the banks OF one of the
turbulent rivers of the region and settled
down for three months job on a ravine
bridge. A few days later we noticed an
eagles nest perched up the bluff across the
river, and the following Sunday two of our
men swan the stream during the absence of
the old birds and brought back two vigorous
eaglets with them.
1--WE hurrIedly patched up pen of pine
slabs for the captives, making it about seven
feet square and leaving lots of space be-
tween the slabs on the top and sides, so that
we could have good look at the squalling
punches of feathers. The parent birds came
back about noon, and when they found
their little ones gone they kicked up
frightful row and flew about in search of
them as if they were distracted. When they
finally discovered where the eaglets were
they circled around in the air over the pen,
keeping out of reach of our rifles, and
shrieked advice to their chicks about keep
ing up their spunk and making themselves
comfortable as plainly as human beings
could.
''Then the old birds few away and came
back after little with two big fish in their
talons. They circled and circled around
over the pen, and finally let the fish drop
straight as die right between the slabs in
the roof. They kept up this performance
every day for fortnight, and never in all
that time did they miss hitting the pen with
the fish they dropped. Their parental af1ec-
tion and intelligence so worked on US that
we put the eagles back on the other side of
the river again, and 1 tell you it was really
affecting to see the way those two old birds
hung around and caressed their offspring.
They seemed to understand after that that
we were friendly to them, and during the
rest of the time we were there they flew all
about the camp, and had no hesitation in
coming down to pick up the scraps of meat
and flesh we would throw to them"

SOME OF THE SHADOWS

Cast Before by Coming Events-PrObnbIe
Changes in a Few City Onicial Positions
New Magistrates and Mayors Clerks
and Who They May Be.
The results Of the recent election in the
disposition of the various gifts in the way OF
positions has been very absorbing topic OF
discussion for the last week among the
politicians and Dlace-hunters. A very re-
liable authority last night said that the
places had already been decided on, and
although some changes would be made no
one would be much inconvenienced.
W. H. McCleary, he said, would resign
from the Mayors clerkship to give full at
tention to his Shrievalty contest. He would
probably be succeeded by Robert Oster-
maier, and Hugh Finn, OF the Eighth
ward, at present bookkeeper for lightning
rod house, would be Ostermaier's probable
successor.
With regard to the police magistrates, it
is asserted that John Gripp, j. B. Hynd-
man and B. McKenna will remain un-
disturbed. Judge Brush, it was thought,
would not be so fortunate, as Alder
man A. II. Leslie's friends are gun
ming for the position for him, and are conf
dent of his success. The Southside police
magistracy is said to be in doubt, not so
much as to the removal of Judge Brokaw,
as to the question whether he will be sue
ceeded by David McGarey or @. E. Succop.

A Move 20 Abolish the Return Request
Fails of Success.
WASHINGTON, February 23.-Efforts
have been made at various times by inter
ested parties to prohibit all printing by the
Government upon stamped envelopes, and
also to put stop to the manufacture and
sale of such envelopes. The motive is
obvious enough. Some printer takes a
notion that he might get more printing to
do if the Government did not
print for stamped envelope DUR
chasers the special request card,

he might sell more envelopes if stamped
envelopes could not be obtained at any
postofice. The two, acting together or in
dependently, get up petitIons-the easiest

Der Of Congress puts in bill to accomplish
their desires. Such efforts to do away with
the Government printing on stamped envel-
opes and the envelopes themselves as havN
been made heretofore have failed, and the
older the system grows the less likely Is
any future attempt to meet with success.
These efforts began as far back as the
Forty-frst Congress, and were continued in
the Forty-second and Forty-sixth Con.
crosses. The latest is in the shape of a bill
introduced by Senator Cullom last month,
which proposes to repeal the law permitting
the Postmaster General to have return re-
quests printed on envelopes It has met the
same fate as all former measures of the same
sort, for the Committee on Postofices and
Post Roads has reported against it, and on
the committees recommendation the bill
has been indefinitely postponed,

EiuiR in Dispute--Ths Legislature
Asked to AnnuI Patents OBJ
tained in 1900.
RICHMOND, February 23.-A bills pend
ing in the Virginia Legislature which, if it
could be successfully carried through, would
be worth big fortune to those interested.
This measure involves the title to over
million acres of land in Southwestern Vir-
ginia, in what are now the richest mineral
and grain lands Of the State. The story OF
this claim is substantially this:
Some time prior to the year 100 gentle
man of the name of Walcott obtained
patents from the colony for immense tracts
of lands in what are now Wise, Buchanan,
Russell, Lee and other counties on the
border of Tennessee and Kentucky. AT
that period, and for many years subsequent
ly, these lands were a wild waste and hard
ly worth the taxes for which they were as
sessed. In time Walcott and his heirs de-
faulted In payment of the taxes, and the
lands reverted to the Commonwealth.
From time to time they were taken
up by others. who passed the title
as it was disposed of in
course of trade during the past century or
more. NOW mr. v. n. boYce, clalmlHS 70
represent the Walcott heirs, asks the Legis-
lature to allow the State Auditor to compro-
mise with them for the delinquent taxes for
which these lands were disposed of. That
action would place the claimants in a
position where they might institute pro-
ceedings for the restoration of these lands
The Senate Finance Committee unani-
mously reported against the bill. Some of
the lands which the Walcotts owned are
now occupied BY iron furnaces and other
prosperous manufacturing enterprises, and
are worth many millions of dollars.

RALEIGH, N. c., February 23.-The
Rev. ]. NJ Joiner, the alleged Englishman
who was run out of Randolph county just
before the holidays made his appearance
here yesterday. He hal been assigned to a
Northern Methodist Church at Oberlin, a
settlement of intelligent colored people near
here. He preached there last Sunday,
and took up his abode in the village. He
was not called to the pastorate of the
church, but was sent to it, and from the very
first the congregation objected to his pres
ence. Their objections took practical turn
yesterday, and at a church meeting it was
decided Joiner was not wanted. Accordingly
he left last night.
He will be remembered as the man. who.
claiming that he was a British subject, al
legged that he and his wife had been brutally
treated in Randolph county. He was run
away by the people there, mainly Quakers,
because ne preached and practiced social
equality, and gave advice to negroes which
was about to cause grave race troubles.

The Methods Some Women Take to Figure
in the Newspapers.
New York SUM-
The anxiety of society women to achieve
notoriety was aptly illustrated last week
when Mr.. P. F. Collier received a letter
from lady in st. Louis inclosing her por-
trait and requesting the editor of Once a
Week to publish it with a biographical
sketch of the lady's career in society. In a
postscript she offered to pay any price that
was asked for the service. The photograph
was returned with polite letter saving that
money could not influence the selection of
portraits of social leaders in any way. The
following week brought another letter with
an offer to pay $500 if the portrait was
placed on the first page of the paper.
No reply was made to this letter, but the
applicants face did not figure in the gal
lery of st. Louis society women which was
subsequently published. Women are Pc
culiarly subject to the hattery of pub
lished portrait.

Ex-COuncilman Terrence Murphy, of 14o7
Carson street, Southside, died last night al
IL o'clock. On Wednesday last Mr..
Murphy had been sick less than a week.
On last Wednesday he had severe attack
of la grippe which developed into pneu-

could not cope with the dread disease, and

the free bridge question and the safety-gate
agitation, and although he never succeeded in
securing either he made himself universally
popular for advancing principles he be-

and was always regarded as an honest and
successful business man. Arrangements
have not yet been made for the funeral.
