Colorado. The mountain lion, although
sly and cowardly, is n most dangerous and
ferocious animal when at bay. But not
w~ithstanding the danger, Hall is fond of
hunting the lions on the mountain trails,
and has killed many of them. In front of
his home at Ridgway he has two Gagged
lions, a porcupine and two badgers.

bars. at which the angry lion had made a
savage lunge. His paws clinched the iron
rods. A Kissing, cat-like sound came
through the wide-open jaws, followed by an
angry growl. Being unable to get out OF
the cage the lion lashed his long tail and
crouched again for another spring at the
bars.

Arkansas Hall, the lion hunter and tanner.
Whereupon "RidRway," for that is the

Why shouldn't al actor marry? He is
human, like all men, and the love of home
is inherent in his nature as in that of all
men. 1t is my opinion that an actor is
spurred on to greater effort and more
finished work through love for wife, child
rem and home. One can't Law down the
principles for men in love to follow, but if
the husband and wife he. professionals both
it is better that they should as nearly as
possible be of the same grade of ability. l
think, also, that they mould endsavor to
be cast in the same company. 1t were bet
ter not to be married than to be separated
months at a time. However, I don't see
why any exception should be made to actors
marrying, if they wish to. Lawyers marry,
artists marry, physicians marry, and yet
that of the stage. But you will find that
whatever [ think, or whatever ANYBODY
else thinks, on this subject, if an actor be
smitten at all hard, he won't stop to think
the matter over. but will follow the prompt-
ings of his heart, and marry. And who
will say he should not?

Opinion without Experience.

Never having had a husband, l find it
very difficult to answer the question salts
factorily. It seems to me, however, that on
the stage, as elsewhere, married life must
have it's good and bad Sides.
l believe that q young woman of talent
who webs an actor wrecks her future, for if
she loves her husband she will sacrifice her.
self for him, she will accept any engagement
to stay with him, and, as a loving wife, she
will take the parts which may most bring
out her husbands talent, while hers would
remain almost unknown. And yet | have
seen couples so happy that, though vanity,
pride and ambition were not exactly salts
fled, as a return the heart was satisfied and
reason had to be hushed.
To we'd a beautiful actor is rather danger
GUS. They are surrounded by temptations,
and they are but men, after all.
believe that the happiest couples are
those where the husband alone is an actor
and the wife not al artist. She stays home,
takes care of the house, of the children,
and when her husband comes back from a
long stay ION the road" his home appears
to him h as a paradise, where he can
rest from his troubles and labors, and
where everything appears to him new and
consequently beautiful.
On the whole. what / have Just said can
be resumed thus: Actors do we'll to marry,
but should not do SO among themselves.

The Upper Ten May.

Mr.. Richard Mansfield, when asked for
an opinion on this subject, said:
"Why not actors as we'll as other men?
They are able to support their wives-why,
therefore, should they not have wives to
support
II do not think. however, that they are
apt to marry, for the reason that it is so
~~.ifficult for them to secure wives-I mean
wives who would be their equals. l am.
speaking now of an actor in the best sense
of the word-that is, of a gentleman who
has adopted the stage as a means of liveli-
hood, and who retains with his profession
his breeding and his gentle characteristics;
not of variety performers, comic opera
artists, or other such persons, but of the
upper strata of the profession. Such men
rarely marry, despite their ability to do so,
for the reason, as 1 have said, that it is
difficult for them to secure women who are
Intellectually and socially their equals. They
have not many opportunities for knowing
such women, though they will be afforded
almost endless opportunities for meeting
them. An actor of the rank and standing
] am describing finds the door of almost
any home open to him; he is asked to dine,
perhaps even to visit with most desirable
hosts, and allowed to become ''chummy''
with the sons; but the line is distinctly
drawn with a close hand when he attempts
to make love to the daughters. But pro-
vided an actor can find a woman who will
be a real wife to him, there can surely be no
good reasons to urge for his celibacy."

II One Could He Snret

Why is it that I am asked for. an opinion
on marriage? l can only give vague reasons
for having any opinion on the matter what
soever. From observation | should say that
there are marriages, and, then, there are
marriages. In our profession, as Il rule,
they are made as contracts are, signed hur-
riedly, without thought, and totally ION
spec And sometimes. alas, the usual two
weeks notice on either side is an unwrltten
part of the agreement.
Who're there is true love between man and
woman there is nothing left them but mar
riarge. Where there is not there should be
no marriage. think about one man out of
Il thousand to ono woman in II hundred Ia
rhtio of ons-tenth man to one woman)
can love sincerely and faithfully; conse-
quently, marriage should occur in about
that proportion. | don't mean by this that
n man should marry ton women, or that
all women should marry ten times. Mar
riage. to me, is like politics and religion
there Ia no argument that will shake ones
firm convictions on these matters, and my
firm conviction ia that marriage il n very,
very good institution. when you are quite
sure of II being a success. The worst Of it
Is, you never oan DO sure! Still, as far as |

is expert in the use of the rifle and has
killed lions and bears. In a talk | had with
Briggs. in referring to the game, he said:
eagles in preying upon the wild goats and
sheep. The Rocky Mountain sheep are
found on the highest peaks and there they
breed their young. They are eagerly sought
by the lions. The gray eagle sweeps down
on the young sheep in the clefts of the rocks,
and with a powerful stroke of it's bill makes
a fatal wound in the lambs head. 1t then
worries the mother till she is exhausted,
after which 1t devours the dead lamb or
beals it away in it's talons.
The hon is catlike in all its habits. A
mare with foal is sought ont in the herd by
the lion, in preference to other prey. Leap
ing upon a horse and burying its claws in
the tanks, the lion will tear open the horse
even when the latter is running at full
speed, and attempting to throw off its tor
when hunting in Eldorado basin, l saw a
lion leap forty-flve feet and catch a ground
hog as quick as l have said the words. First
crouching like a cat, and slowly wagging it's
tail, it guages the distance, and when ready
for the attack, will jump from forty to six
ty feet"
Mr.. Briggs related an interesting expert
ence that he, and Charles and w. +. john
son, of Clearfeld, Penn, had with a lion in
a cabin On Oak creek near Ouray. Duflng
their absence from the cabin a lion would
enter the open door and carry away all
their fresh meat.
A trap was set or rather a kind of dead
fall. the front part being just outside the
door and the end of the log used for a
weight being braced under the bed in thu
cabin. Way late in the night" said
Briggs, while we were all sound asleep the
lion came, pulled at the bait and down
came the dead fall. We were knocked out
of the bed by the fall of the log and for a
few moments things were quite lively and
exciting. But before we could get our
rifles, the lion, bait and all, were gone"
All the hunters with whom l talked bear
witness to the terrible strength of the lion.

FINEST HOUSE IN LONDON,

Family.

Soon to BE Occupied by the Mackay
Family.
LONDON, April 25.-After a brief stay at
Brighton, Mrs. Mackay has finally given
up the house which she rented of Lady
Rosslyn in Charles street, Berkeley square,
and has taken possession of her new abode
on Carlton House terrace. The mansion in
question is certainly one of the most re-
markable of those which now cover the site
of the Carlton house. 1t was built
originally by the third duke of Leinster
and the present owner of the title
sold it, shortly after his accession,
to G. H. Sanford, the millionaire,
whose ambition it was to possess
the finest house in all London. Mr..
Sanford gave carte blanche alike to the ar
chltects and decorators. For over two
years the work went slowly on and Just
when the completion seemed at last to be
in view the Barring complications inter-
vened and Mr.. Sanford found himself COM
PEELED to surrender the toy for which he
had paid SO dearly. The negotiations did
not take t~wenty-four hours and Mr.. and
Mrs. John W.. Mackay, instead OF Mr.. San
ford, become the n%eiehbors of Panmure
Gordon and Lord Pembroke. The glories
of the regenerated home of the Fitzgeralds
will inevitably be one of the wonders of
the coming season.

Singing Birds Should Mate.

cannot answer as to actors, but Ishould
think some actl esses. who have had many
experiences in he matrimonial line, would
be able to illuminate several columns. OPP
cratic singers, in my Judgment, should
marry. but not early. An early marriage,
before Il singer has accomplished anything,
is very often detrimental to success. After
a singer has we'll advanced and success is
assured, l think marriage decidedly advan-
tageous. / have married 80 often in opera
upon the stage it became Il stereotyped GER
emory to me, and when married | omitted
the orange wreaths. Nearly all the
successful opera singers have mar
ried. Marriage is an honorable es-
tate, and ] do not see why any class
should be excluded. There should be no
philosophizing about it, if he is n nice fellow
and they love each other, why. let them
marry. Art canno be obliterated by mar
riaRe. OF course, there is much to be said
about the question of marriage. DIR. John
son, in 'Rasselas." discusses the advan-
tages and disadvantages of marrying early
and late in life. On the whole. l think the
late marriages had the best of the arcu-
meat. Marry for love and be happy, and
then. when any III puts the question to
you, ls marriage a failure? you will know
how to answer. MINNIE HAuK.

Marie Tempest Counsels Delay.

l am afraid if I give my opinion of the
subject people will think l am prejudiced,
but l will say that l think girls on the stage
should wait until they are old enough to
know their own minds before they marry.
For instance, a young woman has made a
fair start in her profession, and has a good
voice. She marries some man she fancies
when she is seventeen, who wants her to
stay at at home, or is continually iniuring
her prospects in many ways. l know of so
many such cases, and of course unhappi-
ness must result. 1t was SO in my own case.
| married very young for a home, and l
found afterward that my husband and my
self were entirely unsuited for each other.
We had no sympathy with each other; hence
a divorce. ] SEQ no reason why an actress
should not be happily married if she only
waits until she is old enough to know who
she wants, and whether her choice will
render her happy. "a

Successful Grating Performed ON an

SPRINGFIELD. Ill.,, April 25.-In the Wabash

it covered several inches of the shin bone.
The surgeons decided that bone rot had

operation was successfully performed. In
consequence of the large amount
of bone which had been ohipped

placed under the influence of ohlotoform.
one log was deftly amputated, the bone re-
moved and split, and the raw edge applied
to the living bone in Daugherty's log. The
operation was continued until the hollow
place was filed with living bone from o

Not for Revenue Only.

Most certainly actors should marry. OF
oil mankind, the actor needs n domestic
haven. His profession being literary and
studious, it's first requirement is n quiet
home. Therefore, his wife should prefer
ably be herself non-professional, that she
may be free to make his home a refuge and
rest from the turmoil and excitement OF
his work. AS a rule, ] should say it were
better that the wife be non professional. IL
man and wife are both actors and must
needs both work, / think n greater degree
OF efficiency can be obtained in separate
companies. The difficulty of casting both
man and wife to advantage in the same
play is frequently the cause OF retarding
the usefulness of one or both. Lot the
actor marry, as other men do, for n home,
not for a companionto increase his revenue;
and think the result will prove more happy
for both parties. Tony PASTOR,

THE DYING KNIGHT.

The day of sorrow, death, defeat is DER,
Closed ere the sinking of the blood-red sun.
The fierce lell rage of battle throbs no more,
And my last fight is sadly lost and won.
The slowly waning moon sheds fitful light
On the drear field Of battle, heaped with dead
On idle armor and the wreck of fight,
On broken swords, their brightness dull and
red.
Alone, alone ! die on this wide heath.
No help. no hope; and yet | die content.
The stiff blood freezes DER my wound of death;
But for the cause my lite is gladly spent;
For king and country, a | my wounds in front,
,u Gladly and proudly give youth and life.
Well have L borne me IN the battle's brunt;
Not without honor fall | in the strife.
And so, my heart.
No moan, no idle moan.
I've played a manly part,
And must die alone,
Farewell, farewell.
Farewell to life--and love.
And yet, and yet. bet ween mo and the skies
Theirs swims one thought that lends to death a

They haunt mo now, those dear and tender syos- -.
Eyes winch l loved rs knigh as minstrel sang,

The chances of unruffled happiness among
married professionals are very few and re-
mote. This ls not because of any individ-
uai weakness or crOokedness of disposition,
but rather because OF the circumstances in
which tho followers of the stage are placed.
1t is most difficult for married players to
OBTAIN engagements in the same com-
pany. Ii troubles arise between the
manager and one of the couple the other
takes part, and the trouble is augmented.
separation perforce ensues when man and
wire fan OF obtaining engagements in one
company. And what is married life when
the contracting parties see little or nothing
OF each other? Where is the opportunity
to love and CHERISH? 1t is a mockery!
Better celibacy than such u state. And.
nine times out of ten, the state of mind of
the player has a depressing effect upon the
performance. These repeated separations
can result IN but Il thing-final drifting
apart and divorce. And if there be chill
dren, what of them? Go and visit the
deprived of the sweet influences of a home,
growing up in ignorance of Il mothers love,
living In the shade, receiving none of the
genial warmth of the sun.
Trough deprecate marriage among pro-
f%essionnls, both for the good of the profess
sion and the individual, | do not think that
matrlnony should be prohibited to them.
J Al " HSoo
thing. And a partner in wedlock, on the
other hand. is often a very good thing.
Particularly arid and dry and dreary are
the private lives of unmarried actors and
actresses. Matrimony is the actors privi-
lege as much as that of any man, but it
should be entered into at the proper time.
Early marriages should be avoided. Let
the player first make Il name and a compe-
tence.
Then go beyond the pale of your profess
sion and seek a mate from the outside world
one who will be to you such a wife as God
Intended a woman to be. When children,
those rays of sunshine from another world,
come, they serve to impart u new impulse
to all that is noble in the character of both
parents, diverting old feelings into new
channels of love. Such q marriage has a
far-reaching and beneficial influence both
upon the actor and the stage. The latter
will be graced by a more finished histrionic
performance, and the player, as the curtain
descends upon the last scsne, and he pre-
pares to 60 to his home, may we'll say, with
our own Willis:
THE world we'll tried the sweetest thing in life
Is the unclouded welcome of u Wife"

If He

l think there is too great a disposition on
the part of the public to regard the actor
inc actress as beings of a different order to
the general run of humanity. 1 zee no
reason why one of my profession should
find any demand in his artistic life to COM
pei his abiuration of an institution SO we'll
established as marriage. And yet l should
not urge it as n necessity to the beginner
in the race after dramatic %laurels. Mar
riage under %pecuniary difficulties must
surely be as disadvantageous to the actor
as to the artisan. There are unhappy mar
riaGes within and without the theatrical
world. But greatness of purpose will 40
complish it's end under any circumstances,
and genius and talent, whether clogged
by unhappy social conditions or enoour-
aged by domestic felicity, will find their
marry if he chooses.
