N. BARBER


A somewhat romantic story is told Of how
Bernhardt was first induced 10 think Of APP
pearing rs Jeanne dare. According TO this
story a French mother wrote Ia the actress,
telling her that her two daughters had long
desired TO see the great artistic on the stage;
but the character OF La Tosca and other Of
Bernhardt's plays had been such that the
mother could not conscientiously allow her
daughters to see them. Family affairs would
soon compel the family 10 sail for a distant
country, and the letter closed with an appeal
to the actress 10 appear before they went in
something which the young girls could wit
ness with propriety. The pathos and deli
cacy Of the request touched the great Bern
hardt, and she decided that she would do AS
the mother asked. The result was Jeanne
dare"
On the first night Of its presentation the
little family occupied a box, which Bern
hardt had offered them in a very pretty let
ter, not far from the stage. That night she
seemed TO play for them alone, and 1t was
the curiosity aroused by this fact among the
critics and first nishters that finally brought
the story to light. A few days later the

Flint. The catching record made by Flint
will probably never be equaled again, and his
crooked fingers and swollen joints will show
what a player was obliged TO put up with be

The following is a record Of the games he
caught.
In 1877, with lndianapols-is out Of l2l games

In 1879. with C~hicago-fa out Of 70 games.

In 1886, with Chicago-t6 out Of - games.
In 1875, with Chicago-2 out OF lN6 games
In 1889, with C~hicago-i5 out Of 1872 games.
The foregoing record shows that Flint
caught in sjj out ~ the 1895 games played
by his club In the last thirteen years. His
first year out ~ a full fie1ged professional
was at indianapolis in 1871, when he caught
10 out Of III games-aD unprecedented rec
ord, and all the more remarkable when the
style OF pitching he had 10 handle is taken
into consideration.
Last year Flint went behind the bat but
fifteen times.

mother and daughters started on their long
journey, and no one babe them a more affec-
tionate farewell than did Sarah Bernhardt.
This may or may not lie one of those stories
invented by ingenious newspaper men, but
Bernhnrdt's previous and less pleasing eccen-
~tricities have prepared the public to believe
almost anything Of her.
Her tiger cat pet is well remembered In
New York at the hotel where il got into q

took a taste Of a walters leg. II was at that

herself exhibited her W angelic temper

The man was detailed 10 bear luncheon to
the actress parlor and appeared with it q
