Greatest Living Actress.

The other night knot of theatrical people in
New York were discussing sara Bernhardt.
Henry Guy Carleton, who was present, said:
"in my estimation sara Bernhardt is the
greatest living actress. To "a greater degree than
any other woman can recall she possesses that
gift commonly spoken of as genius. Each one
OF her charaeterizations is wonder
fui combination of genius and study.
Nine. Bernhardt is artist in the highest
sense of the word. She reveals the fact in her
every gesture. She hes the whole gamut of
stage effects at her fingers ends. She knows
better than any stage manager could sug
gest-exactly how much pathos is wanted
here, how much comedy there. She has the
artistic instinct. Every information of her voice
is an interesting study itself Her characterize
tions not merely roles assumed: they
the characters themselves. Sara when playing
Tosca, Fedora, Camille, becomes, for the time
being, those women. She feels all their passions
and moods; she imparts the perfect illusion to
her audiences and thus holds them spellbound
beneath her fascination. All other actresses
living are as pigmies beside her. Bernhardt is
SO great actress that she never
plays the same two consecutive nights,
yet neither performance will be less ad-
msrable than the other. Given the play is
Camille, and that she has had something to
disturb her during the day, her Camille that
night will show il. she feels ill-tempered;
Camille will be ill-tempered too.

Charley Hoyt and che Jay,

The following yarn is told OF Charles II.
Hoyt and although the author laughs over
1t he doesn't relish it as highly as might be
imagined. A short time ago Mr.. Hoyt was
out on the Pacific coast. On his return he
had little experience which still fingers
humorously in his memory. At Salt Lake
City the outgoing train was pretty we'll
hlled, but Mr.. Hoyt managed to secure n
lower berth in the sleeper, while country
man oil the most pronouncedly rustic procliv-
tles mad the upper story Of the COM
partment. According TO the descrip-
tion of his travelling companion
0y the author OF "a Texas
Steer" he was a ".Iay'' from Javtown. AS
the night advanced MIR. Hoyt decided TO have
ms berth made up and retire. He communI-
Gated ms desire TO the countrymau who had
the upper story in the same compartment and
asked politely If he would be kind enough to
yacate the seat and give the porter chance
to make up his bed. The coun tryman ovi-
IDENTIFY was not inclined to retire, and gave
Mr.. Hoyt to understand that he had aS mucn
right to occupy the seat he was sitting in as
Mr.. Hoyt had to his. The author remon-
strated. the countryman became Obstinate
Mr.. 1ioyt argued: Mr.. jay" looked at
him contemptuously but wouldn't bulge
an inch. And this state OF
affairs continued for miles over the road, and
until the countryman, feeling satisfied ap-
parently that he had enough of the encounter.
arose and went into the smoking apartment
This was Hoyts chance. He called the
porter, and after instru Ctlng him TO make up
the bed, followed the Jay into the smoking
room Here again the author attempted TO
point the error of his ways to the country
man, who paid not the slightest attention TO
word he (HoyD said but Just as soon as he
got ready he arose from his seat walked into
the sleeping apartment, undressed himself
and elm bed into his berth
This made HOyt furious. He had expert
ences before, but this was the mcst aggra-
waiting he had ever had. In this frame of
mind he betook himself to his berth and
commenced TO undress. While doing so his
eyes lighted on the countrymen's shoes on
the floor beside his own. A wicked thought
entered his mind. He determined to get
square on the jay The cars ratified along
over the stony bed and the distance from
Salt Lake City was being heightened, when
Mr.. Hoyt gently raised the window of his
compartment, then quietly stretching his
arm over the side of the bed seized pair
of shoes and dropped them out of the win

Charley HoYts mind was relieved and he
fell asleep. How long he slept is not stated,
Dut he was awakened next morning by the
jay" who was seated on the side of his bed
pulling on his shoes. Then, and not until
then, did the thoug flash across his mind
that "some one had blundercd." :" He got
square on the countryman by dropping his
own shoes out of the window.

only he adds, it makes me appear like a
