Beat Mile. Seyior's King.
San Francisco Examiner.
Since the people of Nevada wore ignored
by the President in his transcontlnental
trip they have turned out to make the most
of the French actress B~ernhardt In her
journey through IL Q sagebrush, and crowds
of people turn out Co catch a glimpse OF her
as she travels.
The special swung into Winnemuccs to 9
minute with the arrival of the east-bound
sleeper, and as the two trains stopped the
regular was next the platform, shutting
Bernhardt's car from the crowd that had
collected on the platform. Presently q
small boy yelled to the engineer:
Take your old train up by the tank and
give US a chance to SEQ Sally B~ernhardt."
The crowd laughed and then q mob OF
boys gathered about the engine and threat
ened to board it and demolish it if it did
not move ID. After considerable chatting
the regular pulled out, and there sat Bern
hardt, to be seen by everybody through q
big plate-glass window, with Mime. Mea
and Gilbert. She was playing cards aud
seemed very much in earnest. The crowd
pressed about the window and as the
ladies looked uD Bernhardt laid down her
hand aud looked In an amused way at the
spectators of the game. Here Mile. Seylor,
who playes inRenue parts. quietly held q
king up to the window where the sage
brushes could see it, and amid a general
aug some one sang out for her to lead.
Bernhardt saw the motion as the card went
up. and in q few seconds she held her arm
to the window and pulled an ace out of her
sleeve in full view of the crowd This Int
tie by play was done in iIGimitable style
and called forth a roar from. the crowd as
the train moved on.
At Humboldt Wells q little Frenchwom-
an was walking up and down the platform
with a pretty baby in her arms. Bernhardt
sent q porter out to bring the baby into the
car, as she wanted to kiss it.
The porter attempted to carry out the in
structions. but the mother demurred, and
the porter. who seemed to think Bern
hardts word law, attempted to take the
child. Ex-Assemblyman Blakesley started
10 to thrash the porter, when the great
were leaplnS from the tower IN the last act
OF l. Tosca." and in an instant she was
chatting French with the mother. who
finally handed her the child to kiss. In the
midst of the confusion a big spotted dog of
the Great Dane variety sprang into the
crowd. and ranged alongside of his mistress,
showing his teeth vioiously.
Bernbardt kissed the baby a couple of
times. handed il a packet of French candy
to stop its outcry, and cutting the big dogs
ears boarded the train. Wherever the train
stops her great Dane dogs. who are the
monsters of the canine world, are led out to
play. and, as Q rule, people who see them
coming get out of the way. There was
several minute stop at LovelOcks, and
here one of the dogs strolled into d beer sa-
loon, scattering the inmate who were
playing poker. Bernhardt was intensely
amused when she saw the frightened yokels
striking through the sagebrush. while the
fully bounded after them. In the midst of
tho fun the proprietor of the place came
out of the back door with q shotgun, and
the dog was called back.
