Electric Cars Coming.

Again the people of Ogden have hopes of
securing electric railways. a change came
about in the case of the Ogden City rail
way in the First district court yesterday,
when Judge Miner ordered that the road
be turned over to the former trustees, the
Jarvis Conklin Mortgage Trust company.
All are conversant with the history of
the case that has been tried with all its
techicaiitles in the courts during the last
SIX months. For the last eighteen days the
road has been in the hands of receiver
and during that time the actual running
expenses Of the road increased its indebted
ness 81, 900. During the time the receiver
had the road in his hands no improvements
could he made, he was obliged to act under
the orders OF the court, and the conse-
duences were wires that were strung
through the streets for electrical purpose;
have become rusty aud old from exposure
and nou-usage.
What course the Jarvis -Conklin com
pauy will take in the future, Mr. Gilbert
or the attorneys for the company did moi
feel free to say. but the road will un
doubtedly be equipped with electricity a:
soon as possible and the old-fashioneC
motors marked as relic OF the past.

She is a very hard working little woman.
Nine years ago she did not understand
word of the tongue which she row speaks
without an accent, and to this day she
uses her native language-W elsh-when-
ever she can. She says she likes its jun
bled consonant sounds much better than
she does English. Moreover, she devotes
every spare moment which she can find in
her days-already pretty well filled with
rehearsals and performances-to studying
French.
She has had ever since she was Is years
old a very powerful incentive for all this
hard work in the care of her mother. They
live together in a coy little flat when they
are in New York, and when Miss Burt is
forced by her profession to travel the
mother is always with her.
Off the stage she has the same pleasant
voice and charming manner which brings
applause when the footlights are blazing.
and with her big eyes, fresh complexion
and shock of curly brown hair she always
makes delightful pictAre, which is en-
HANGED rather than otherwise by quiet,
tastefully chosen gowns-a lesson which
so many actresses have failed to learn.

The Public Library.

The movement on foot for the establish
ment of public library in Ogden is being
pushed to the front with as much vigor as
ever. For some time past sixteen ladies
have been drilling for kermess to be given
in the Grand opera house, Monday even
ing, February 9. Pref. Harris of the Og-
den military, has spent considerable time
of late in instructing and diciplining the
young ladies. They will each be dressed
different and peculiar to the modern tastes
A pleasing dance is to be performed by sew
eral young ladies and gentlemen. Prof.
Younger, of Salt Lake, will probably be
secured TO teach the figures. A milk maids
drill will be another feature of the even
ing's entertainment. Choice music will be
interspersed among the numbers and a
well known elocutionist will be present.
Everybody should encourage this move
ment by attending this coming attraction.
SIS ii is being arranged for most worthy
cause. A zouave drill by the twelve picked
cadets of the Ogden military that did so
excellent at the last library entertainment,
will be another pleasing part of the pro
eramme. Let no one fail to turn out and
make the library grand success.

Whence Come the Red Indians

One of her majesty's inspectors was once
examining class in reading, when he put
the following question to child who had
just read a paragraph to him, Now, con-
corning these red Indians, my child, which
are mentioned in the first portion of your
paragraph, where do they live?"
The little examinee was evidently deter
mired not to lose her excellent" mark for
general knowledge and intelligence; so,
after few moments hesitation, she an
swered, in wigwams, sir!"
''Yes, just so" reluctantly assented the
inspector; ''but wish you to tell me in
what country they live?"
The girl felt that she was ''cornered,'
but with praiseworthy resolution she en-
deavored to rise equal to the occasion. So
although her lips were trembling with
nervous excitement-she looked up into the
inspectors face and replied, PLEASE, sir, in
Red Indial''-Chambers Journal.

generation of actors is not what we have
known in the past, belong in the same
class with the folk who in these days of
steam transportation and electric lights
look with regret on the time of stage
coaches and candles. The difficulty is that
any actor to be tolerated nowadays must
be good, and so the contrast between the
"stars" and humber members of the pro-
fession is less noticeable, and both classes
suffer by it. There are hundreds of young
actresses and actors today whose greatest
laurels are yet to be won, but who would
have been considered wonders fifty years
ago Take the three whose portraits ac-
company this article, for instance.
Laura Burt is not very big, as far as
stature goes, but she has big ambition
and has honestly earned big place in the
hearts of theatregoers. In New York they
feel much more than tho ordinary amount
of admiration for her, and it came about
in this way.
Miss Burt was playing small soubrette
part at one of the popular theatres some
time ago, when it was announced one
Wednesday morning about Ii o'clock that
the actress who played the leading role
was i'll and would be unable to appear for
the afternoon performance. This was Il
very serious dilemma, for, strangely
enough, no one had lnderstudied the part
The manager was in despair. Finally he
went to Miss Burt and asked her if she
could not take it. At first she said she
could not, for she did not know it, but as
the theatre would be forced to close unless
she came to the rescue she promised to do
the best she could Between II o'clock and
she had learned the first two acts. Then
the curtain rose, and she went on the stage
without knowing line of the third and
fourth acts.
Fortunately in the third act most of her
business" was done while standing by a
sideboard and mantel and sitting at a
table Copies of her part were lying on
each of the three pieces of furniture, and
she read her lines outright, studying dur
ing the pauses the lines of the fourth act
which was the most difficult of ALL and
during which she would have no oppor
tunity to see her lines.
When the curtain rose on the fourth act
she was pretty badly scared, but she went
on the stage bravely and carried it through
without break And the audience never
had cause to suspect for a moment during
the entire performance that she was not
cline perfect" in the part, and had not
learned the business of it in dozens o.
careful rehearsals. After that during thu
four or five weeks while she played the part
, she made a veritable hit, and it is not ut al
, certain that the public was not sorry wher
the leading woman recovered from her i'll
: ness and Miss Burt retired from the part.

1t began with a part IN one OF Denman
Thompsons companies, and included !
season as the Captain in "Erminie" and a |
brief experience as a very good Topsy IN !
ssUncle Toms Cabin" 1t has also included J
two adventures. One of her journeys was
interrupted by the Johnstown flood, and
was continued on the first train that passed
through that ill fated city after the great
disaster. In the meantime she was re-
ported as one of its victims. She was also
in Louisville during the cyclone. The
hotel at which she was staying was wreck
ed and ten of its inmates killed. But for
trnately for American theatrical audiences
Miss Burt escaped uninjured.
With the comedy company headed by
those two unique and delightful figures in
American theatricals : Joseph jefferson
and William Florence-is another bright
little actress. Her name is Viola Allen,
and it is already well known. As an act
ress she is careful, intelligent, and
therefore interesting. Her ambitions, and
they are legion, seem likely to be realized.
She is part of what Georgia Cayvan
speaks of as the "new blood, young blood
and well behaved blood' which was given
to the American stage by the Madison
Square stock company. She was mem
Der of the ''Esmeralda" company for nearly
year, and stepped from there into the
distinction of a season with John McCul-
| logh She remained with him until his
death. Honors came to her thick and fast.
Her next engagement was with Barrett.
During the following season she lied" with
Salvini; then came engagements at the
Boston museum and with the "Shenan-
doah" company and then the beginning of
her life in that happy family which is pre-
sided over by genial "Joe" Jefferson, with
Billy Florence as an assistant father.
For young actress this is a surprising
record, but perhaps some explanation may
be found in the fact that Miss Aliens tai
emit is hereditary. The family has been
more or less professional for a generation
or two. Leslie Allen, who plays the part
of Mr. Pendleton, the bank director, in
Men and Women" De Mile and Belasco's
latest success, is her father, and there are
other talented Aliens on the stage.
Miss Allen is little woman, who would
be pretty even without the vivacity which
is the main characteristic of her face. She
has an unusually pleasing voice, and can
say good things of her own off the stage
as well as she can other peoples conversa-
tional gems when she is before an audience.
When she is neither at her rooms nor at
the theatre it is reasonably safe to assume
that she is voyaging around among the
shops where bric-a-brac is sold, china being
her particular hobby. Her greatest trial
she says, is the fact that earthly salaries
are not limitless-that she cannot buy
every pretty thing she searches out while
on these expeditions.
1t would be unfair to Miss Allen to fail
to mention that one of her most frequent
subjects of conversation is the kindnes:

and worth of Joseph Jefferson. That hon
est man and able actor who, as the passing
years drift snow upon his head, walks
modestly along. doing good deeds silently,
showing us mimic characters as no one
else can show them, and winning each
day new friends whose lives are better if
they have but seen his kindly face upon
the stage.
| A comparatively new acquisition to
America and the Kendall company is Mel
lie Campbell. She joined the famous En-
glish couple during their engagement ia
New York about three months ago, and
! America likes her. Whether she likes
/ America or not is another question. 1t
scared her very badly when she first be-
came acquainted with it, and made her i'll
a little later, so we must not blame her il
she does not.
She is a thoroughly English looking
young woman, and of course is proud of it.
| Just as every American girl should be
proud of looking like Yankee. She has
an attractive and expressive, if not pref
1 ty, face, and above it there is mass of fine
/ blonde hair that is given to tumbling down
in very fetching way, even if she is digni
fiedly English.
Her stage career covers about nine years
and has consisted almost entirely of work
with Wilson Barrett, the famous English
actor, and in Violet Melnotte's company.
Miss, Campbell is a painstaking ant
pleasing actress, showing in her work OF
the stage that her success has beer
achieved through careful training. She i:
one of three sisters, all we'll known on tn,
English stage, where her mothers name il

These three young actresses are member
of an army of talented young women, ant
while in these individual cases fortune ha
smiled more brightly than usual, perhaps
such instances of real ability are NOR
plentiful in the dramatic profession toda
than tsey ever were before.
