count Of the arrest in that city Of two
prominent actresses, one oil whom
Miss Finlayson-is a Reno girl. and ID

prominent actresses in order to be &C.

The names well known in theatrical
circles, Of Miss Flora F~inlayson and
Miss Leach Van Dyke, decorated the
blotter Of the West 30th street station,
while the two we'll dressed young
women who laid claim to the right to
bear the names, occupied adjoining
cells and and tried to make themselves
comfortable. They were charged with
the plebian offense Of having become
intoxicated and unable to take proper
care Of themselves. Miss Flora Fin
layson is q clever actress, who was
first CONSPICUOUS as q member OF the
7" Bostonians." Miss Van Dyke il
also q clever actress and has been a
member Of several local companies,
They were arraingned before Justice
Hogan in the Jefferson Market police

"It's the first time, really sir" said
Miss Finlayson.

Dreams and SQUAD sleep.

When a student asked the great
Professor Marine If dreams were "a
sign of anything" he replied, Yes, a
sign that the dreamer was only about
half asleep, when some vague ideas
fitted through his BRAIN" An opinion
exactly contrary to the above was once
expressed by DIR. Tanner, the faster.
When asked il he had not dreamed Of
feasts during his long fast, he replied
"The fact is, I did not dream at all,
simply because I had no sound sleep
during the ordeal. I vas sorry for
that, because l had hoped to make a
psychological study Of myself. My
sleep was 30 disturbed and broken BY
those constantly around me that had
no opportunity for dreams" Whose
theory respecting the dream condition
is correct, Marne's or Tanners?

A STORY OF EMMA NEVADA.
An American girrs WORK q.
Russia.

A pretty story comes through an
exchange about Emma Nevada. who
is a native OF the Sagebrush State and
was educated at Mills College, Oak
land. The popular little prims donna
has just left Paris on q concert tour
through Denmark, Norway and Swe-
den. Her success in Russia caused
all the northern lands to clamor for
her. II was during her visit at Mos
COW that a young Russian girl called
upon her and asked the diva to hear
her sing. Nevada recognized that the
aspirant possessed q superb soprano
voice of exceptional range and sweet
ness. She advised her to go to Paris
and have her voice trained.
The girls poverty was extreme, so
that she had scarcely food to eat,
much less money for q musical educa-
ton in Paris, and she turned sadly
away. The interest Of the generous
hearted little American was enlisted,
and a few days later when a wealthy
Russian who was an impassioned col
lector OF bric-a-brac and an intimate
friend Of the diva, as well as OF her
husband, strolled into their saloon and
began to dilate on two gorgeous vases
of exceptional ugliness and value,
which he was about to buy for his col
lection, the impetuous little songstress
rushed into speech and told him that
for half the cost Of this addition to his
collection he could assure a poor girls
future. She then plunged into the
history Of her protege. As a result Of
her appeal, a week later the Russian
returned and pledged himself to pay
for the musical education OF his
country woman. who was sent TO Paris
under the patronage Of Emma Nevada
and Is expected to make q name for
herself.

"At this time OF the year there are
many stagnant pools in the marshes

up in the water. They fasten on the
stomach and get into the bladder and
the animal passes blood in the urine

cattle to dry ground they were all
right. I don't think there has been
any contagious disease there and moth
