Minnie Palmer Says the Green-Eyed Mon
ster spoils Many Marriages,
think actors and actresses should marry
if they can marry in the profession; that is,
some one who is connected with theatrical
matters in some way or other. The diff
Guilty in an actress marrying outside her
profession is this: A man who is in an
other business cannot understand what
women on the stage are obliged to do in
acting, and they Immediately resent their
wives affectionate manner to their lovers in
the play. Whereas. if the husband were a
professional man he would understand that
it were obligatory on her part, and think
nothing of it 1t is the same with an actor
marrying q woman off the stage. She be-
comes intensely jealous of her husband
making love with any other woman.
We had one young fellow in our company
for two years, and during that time his wife
made his life SO disagreeable with her jeal-
ousies that he was obliged to give up his
position. MINNIE PALMER.

There is whisky and whisky. There is
Parliamentary whisky and several other

attention was drawn to the former a while

new whisky supplied to the members of the
House OF Commons and samples of the old,
and has tried their effects on two monkeys

report:

Nat Goodwin Says Discussion Doesn't Count
Against Love.
Why shouldn't an actor marry7 He is
human, like all men, and the love of home
is inherent in his nature as in that of all
men. It is my opinion that an actor is
spurred on to greater effort and more fin
nished work through love for wife, children
and home. One can't lay down principles
for men in love to follow, but if the hus-
band and wife be professionals both, it Is
better that they should as nearly as possibl
be of the same grade of ability. 1 think,
also. that they should endeavor to be cast in
the same company. 1t were better not to be
married than to be separated for months at
time. 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 prom ptings of his
heart and marry. And who will say that
he should not? NAT G. GOODWIN.

CERTAINLY THEY SHOULD.
Genius No Bar to Matrimonial Happiness,
Says Minnie Maddern.
CLARA MORRIS,

Says Minnie Maddern.
do not see how marriage can interfere
with the popularity of an actor Public
veneration IS given to genius, noble thought
and patient eudeavor. Unless the domestic
relations interfere with these qualities, the
actor need not fear that his audience is con-
cerning Itself with thoughts of his private
life.
Naturally, the most perfect union Of the
people OF the stage is that wherein both man
and woman participate in the same ambi-
ton. In that case, there is complete mu-
tusl understanding and congeniality in
taste. However, there is absolutely no
reason why good woman should love a
good husband the less, or be less happy in
her welded lie, because that husband is an
actor, though she be not an actress.
think that there exists but one question
in regard to the ACCESSIBILITY of an actors
marriage. aud that is In the case of the
woman Of the stage who maTries the man
Eot cauHecIsd with it. However glorious
her talents, no woman with true heart in
her breast can find perfect content
and happiness without love and the dear
ties of home. No good woman should marry
uhiess a love deeper and greater than that
which she feels for her art is born to her. If
q man suffers in what seems a public exhi-
bition of the dear personality so sacred to
him, the right sort of woman will not hesI-
tate moment in relinquishing that which
is humiliating to her husband, and conse-
quently dangerous to the perfect content of
their union.
Itwould seem scarcely right to rob the
world OF any great gifts clearly bestowed for
its elevation and benefit. A great genius is
8 great responsibility, an almost sacred
charge to be used for inestimable good. The
question is: SHOULD a genius marry?"
Certainly; genius would be a curse were it
TO debar its possessor from the only complete
happiness-the ties of love and home. But
the marriage Of a genius is no ordinary
affair. Mutual concessions, perhaps sacri-
fees, are necessary. Pages might be written
upon the subject, but, after ali, true, unset
FISH, generous lovers will discover the way
out OF the complication. 1t seems to me
that this is the only question that appears in
the discussion of the actors chances of hap
piness in marriage.

ousstcn Of Whether q Life Partner Should Be chcs,a
Fen the Profession

Owing to the itinerant life of the actor,
il hes often been asked: Is it wise for the
actor to marry? Can he have 8 happy
home, and be away from it continuously?
While the public has thought much on the
subject, the actor has never been heard
from. Recently these two queries were
caused to be submitted to a number of the
leading members OF the dramatic profession
by an occasional correspondent OF THE DIS
PATCH, and their answers. unique and in
teresting, are given below:

lam afraid if give my opinion of the
subject people will think am prejudiced,
but will say that think girls on the stage
should wait until they are old enough to
know their own minds before they marry.
1t was SO in my own case. I married very
young for a home, and found afterward
that my hus band and myself were entirely
unsuited to each other. We had no SYM
pathy with each other; hence divorce. 1
see 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.

DOESN'T MATTER VERY MUcH

Whether Married or Not.

Margaret Mather says Genius VIII Win
Whether Married or Not
think there is too great a disposition on
the part Of the public to regard the actor
and actress as beings of different order to
the general run of humanity. see no rea-
son why one of my profession should find
any demand in his artistic life to compel
his abjuration of an institution so well es-
tablished as marriage. And yet should
not urge it as necessity to the beginner in
the race after dramatic laurels. Marriage
under pecuniary difficulties must surely be
as disadvantageous 10 the actor as to the ar
tisan. There are unhappy marriages with
in and without the theatrical world.
But greatness OF purpose will accomplish
its end under any circumstances, and genius
and talent, whether clogged by unhappy
social conditions or encouraged by domestic
felicity, will find their vent. I should s1m-
ply say, let the actor marry if he chooses.

There are certainly as many happy mar
riages on the stage as of. An actress who
marries a man not interested in theatrical
matters should at once make up her mind
to give up the stage and retire to private
life, If she wishes to be happy. With men
it is different, for they can take their wives
with them in travelling.
In my own case, when married was

Jersey City Reporters Hunt Up All of
Newarks Scandals.
From the Nev Yo,k Times of this nsorniag.
There has long been a bitter rivalry
between Jersey City aud Newark. They
have quarreied with each other on almost
every point about which quarrel is pos
sible. They have been competing with
each other for years for the honor OF
being the metropolis of New Jersey.
Newark led for a long time till Il di shon-
est census put Jersey City ahead. New
ark never forgave her for that stride, and
during the ten years Jersey City held the
honor the Newark press was busy COM
pairing school-census figures. death and
marriage statistics, and all other official
figures, with a view to confounding her.
Even after the late census restored
Newark to her superiority. the press of
that city could not forbear its prodding
criticism, and every little peccadjllo
Jersey City has been guilty of has been
held up to her disadvantage for the delec-
tation of Newarkers. The result is that
there is not a Newark resident
who does not believe that Jer-
sey City is the very worst city in the
Stute-that she has the dirtiest streets,
the fouieSt water. the most dishonest
government, the largest proportion OF
hoodlums, the greatest number of sa-
looms and the biggest possible amount of
everything to be condemned tnat can be
crowded into a city of her size.

proving its assertion that positively the

The following simple rules for the
preservation of the eyesight are worth
remembering:-Keep shade on your
lamp or gas burner. Avoid all sud-
den changes between light and dark
ness. Never begin to read, write or
sew for several minutes after coming
from darkness into light. Never read
by twilight, moonlight or any light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate.
Neverread or sew directly in front
of the light, window or door. 1t is
best TO let the light fall from above,
obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep SO that on first awakening
the eyes shall open on the light of a
window. The moment you are in
stinctively prompted to rub your eyes
that moment stop using them.--E.c-
