MRS. CORBETT
Makes Her Debut as an Actress in
Montreal,

Montreal.
MONTREAL, April AIRS. COrbett, wife
Of the pugilist, made her first appearance
on the public stage here last night. 1t had
been intended that Mrs. COrbett'S first
appearance should have been made in
Cleveland. COrbett, at the last moment,
however, thought that his wife had better
get used to the stage, before appearing
in an american city. She created
very favorable impression, and
was by far the prettieSt woman of the
company, and her performance for a
novice was great. She acted in vivaciOus
and natural manner; she forgot her lines
several times, however, and had to be
prompted. Mrs. Brady. wife Of COrbett'S
manager, also made her debut, in the
character of COrbett's sweetheart, beyond
appearing very attractive, was not eS-
peCially good. Three thousand people
attended the performance, and the gen
eral admission crowd acted in a disgrace
full manner, breaking down the barriers
between reserved sections. Another row
occurred in the last act, when
the crowd made rush for
beyond the scenes to tender Corhett an
ovation. The police were called in. and
used their clubs freely, finally beating the
crowd back, but for a while the theatre
was the scene of the utmost uproar and
riot. Finally quiet was restored and the
play allowed to proceed.

Biindinr a shark.

A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves of steel. Such a
man, connected with a large wrecling
company, was visiting the pearl fisher
les in the gulf of California. On one of
his trips in quest of the pearl oyster he
had a narrow escape from fearful
death.
He had been instructed never to stir
from the bottom until he had looked up
and around. Fortunately he needed the
advice. Having filed his bag he glanced
quickly about, and caught sight of a
huge shovel nosed shark watching him
In an emergency men think fast. Near
the diver was a large rock. He moved
quickly to the other side of it, hoping TO
dodge the ferocious monster. But the
maneuver did not work; the shark
watched every movement, changing his
position by slight motion of his power
ful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver con-
ceived the idea of binding the shark by
stirring up the mud. Under cover of
that he might escape. He worked for
dear life, and had the water thick with
mud in less than half minute.
Slipping around the rock again he rose
to the surface, having barely strength
enough to reach the side of the boat, and
was hauled on board just as the vora-
cious man eater made a rush for him.

Two Exfrerncs

There are many things which women
do not approve in men, as there are
doubtless many faults in the moral and
mental composition of women which
are distasteful to men.
The violence and abusiveness, the lack
Of dignity, and even those personal diff
ferences which are emphasized with
blows it would be painful TO see intro
duced into an assemblage of women.
Nevertheless there is no reason why the
other extreme of excessive amiability
should be aimed at, with the caressing
and petting that have their proper and
only place within the four walls and the
strict seclusion Of home. 1t is a far cry
from The masculine turbulence Of a 20
htical primary to the excessive sweetness
of the too "womanly" convention, but
there lies between the two a golden
mean, where courtesy and refinement
and unceasiny regard for the feelings Of
others are perfectly compatible with
official dignity and drefreshing good sense.
