SENATOR VANCE MET THE ISSUE.

But the Reporter Failed to Get a Big
 ''Scoop'' All the Same.
 "I once had an experience. said an old newspaper man at the Press club to a reporter, with the late Senator Vance which shall never forget. It was during Crisp's first contest for the speak ership, and, as you all probably remem- Der, every newspaper man ill town was hustling for inside news. The sources of this, as usual in such cases, were very few, and Senator Vance, who was act ing in the capacity of an advisor to the nominating caucus, had to spend most of his time lodging journalists
 ''So wary did he become that he dis continued taking his lunch in the senate restaurant and had it served in a com mittee room. One day, however, I caught q glimpse of him passing through one of the lower corridors on the house side Determined not to let him escape me, at once hastened forward, and in the most innocent manner possible be- gan asking him about his health, which was rather bad at the time. He answer ed all my questions in the kindest manner possible and was about to leave when said:
 " oh. by the way, senator, who do you think will get the nomination?'
 ' I don't know exactly, he replied, but they will have to fight if they want to win
 Certain now of my information, l begun to sec the letter was going to re- ceive from the home office, after they had published my big scoop. telling me in the most fattering terms that tho paper had decided to raise my salary on account of my good work.
 Which side. senator?' I asked, al- most in whisper for fear some one would be lurking in the dark recesses and hear the reply which was to make me the most noted hustler for news in the ranks of journalism.
 Both sides he replied us he disap- pearod in the door of committee room.
 And the letter that I looked for fafnA

people. In the company are Jefferson de Angelis. Paul Arthur, c. W. Dungan, Villa Knox, Marie Celeste and many other well known operatic artists. The burden of tho work of course falls upon the shoul- ders of Miss Fox and Messrs. de Ansclis and Arthur. Miss Fox is more charming, and, 1t must be admitted, moro embon- potnty than ever. Her voice, though not of great power, is very clear and sweet nevertheless, and her acting Is us chic as can be. She has made a tremendous hit. Jcf de Angelis in all sincerity divides the honors with Miss Fox, while MT Arthur, although scarcely up to his usual standard of excellence, seems to Dc improving. His performance, however, Is quite good as 1t is

On the Rialto the other day heard a number of actors discussing the probable effect upon the stage of Madeline Pollard's s coming appearance as a star in the moth eaten Moths" One took the position that 1t would not affect tho profession" either injuriously or otherwise, as the probability of her success Is mighty small Another said that it was ridiculous to designate the theatrical calling a profes- sion, and that Miss Pollard had the un- doubted moral and legal right to attempt to earn her living in any way that she might select. This brought out a vehe- ment protest from n third member of the group, who loudly declared, manifestly for the benefit of the bystanders, that he be longcd to the profession" that he had never worked for less than $IO0 nor more than Sl25 n week at any time during the three years last past, but that he would accept $50 a week from any reputable manager in preference to S250 from Mad cline Pollard. In other words he would not become a member of her company un- der any circumstances. This amused me considerably, inasmuch as had heard but few minutes beforo that tho loud mouthed individual had applied for place with Miss Pollard at $40 n week and had been rejected on the ground that he was not up to the requisite standard of excel lence. This explained his newborn preiu- dice against the advent of notorious wom- en into tho profession"

DoS't Goa good many men in Vest
ern OREGON have had the Southern Africa
fever hence we pnhlish the following from
the Telegram: The African gold fields
are not what they are cracked up to be, -
said Ferdinand S Force, of Southern Ore,
this morning. who recently returned here
/ from Cape Town.
Last May the alluring announcements in
some of the newspapers respecting the for
tunes to be made in African goldmining
attracted me to that yet superfcialy ex-
plored continent. After reaching it visit
ed nearly all the gold fields, as they call
them there. but found nothing encourag-

portance, now putting out gold in anv
| great quantities. are owned by English and
Dutch corporations, which operate their
properties with negro labor, at very low
price. ihe skilled work in the mines is
performed by white men. whose pay, con-
sidering the cost of everything and the eli
mate and other incenviences, does not
amount to much more than it does in this
country. II met three or four score Ameri.
cans who would be glad to leave the coun.
try could they only find an opportunity to
earn enough to pay for steerage passage
home. ] merely make this statement to
warn my countrymen against being misled
by this mirage. would say to any Ameri.
