Renee Here Ten Years Ago.
Melbourne MacDowel who has been
almost much d fayOrlte as Fanny
Davenport during their performances in
che city. bias had experiences in his stage
career which would have discouraged
those who had not been so enthusiastic in
the hope Of 9 bright future. For nearly
ain hour Alr. MacD0well talked with
JOURNAL reporter at the Thr0Op yester-
day. and the experiences Of his career
were thrilling de said he had done
everything that oefalls the life Of an
actor except count railroad ties.
81 have had all the ups and downs Of
a stage careers but don't you know that
the downs are Sometimes more helpful
than the ups.
~From the ages Of 10 to 20 I was fire.
quently a stowaway On ocean steamers,
and after that experience my career as
an actor began.
'.It was right here in Topeka that my
ups began. and ln ten weeks after 4 left
here and got back east, everything 1
touched turned to gold
"That was nearly ten years ago and
my appearance here was in the Two
Orphans.

WI remember in duel scene ia the
last act that the property man had for
gotten our weapons and be was sent TO
the hofai for them and returning he had
TWO carving knives. I have on both III
my hands sears which remind me Of
those knives.
Gardner and myself got mad at one
another because of the cuts. which were
accidental, but each thought it was care
lessness GA the part Of the other, and we
slasned each other furiously.
-For such treatment i was let out of
the company and borrowing some jew
elry from one Of the women in the com
pany T managed to get back east
"Wheu got 70 New fork my good
luck began and since then It has increas-
ed with every year. let / am more en-
thusiastic today than ever before over
my career as am actor The stage is my
life and Il is very pleasant to me-"
AT this juucture SIR. MacDowells valet
came up to him and said, ~Your wife is

4 Story of Governor Cur.ia.


 Che of the best anecdotes of the late Governor Curtin relates to 2. sensa tion he created in a Washington theatre in 1SS4-S5 when he was serving in the house. He was very anxious to see Henry Irving, who was then acting in that city. and he told his wife and his daughter, Mrs. Wilson, to go to the theatre. where he would mec.. them after congress adjourned for the day. You need not engage a seat for me-" he said as they parted. "as something may arise that might prevent my com ing to the very last moment. can pro- cure a seat easily enough if I do come" !" The house, however. stayed in ses- sion on the river and harbor bill until quite late, and when the governor reached the theatre there was standing room only. and very little of that. He wedged himself along one of the side aisles, and unintentionally stopped in front Of some men who were perched upon window-sill One of them touched MT. Curtin rather roughly on the shoulder and commanded him to move aside. Governor Curtin looked about, surprised. but before he could explain big, double-fisted fellow of herculean proportions, who was stand ing close by pointed his enormous in- dex finger up at the three window sill ornaments and thupdered out in sten- torlan tones: Say do you know who you are showing? That's ex-Goyerner Curtin, our old war governorl''
 Then turning to MT, Curtin he shout ed, as his face grew purple with in- dignation: Governor, I'm one of the boys,' l served under you, and nobody shall shove you around where I am! Get down off that Window-sill, you scoundrels," he yelled, "get down quick! Shall I knock 'enfS down, gov ernor; Shall I knock lem dOWn?" And he Jumped around like an Indian in his excitement. a, #}< F BY this time the men had slid off the window sill and the doarkeeners had arrived, "Git the old goyerner g good seat" said the veteran as he pulled out a large roll of greenhaeks HGit him the best seat in the houae. he continued in g voice that sileneed MT. Irving's on the stage. There wal private box not yet occupied, and the manager was glad to rush MT, Cur tin into it and end a scene that va. not on the program. "one of the boys : as he called himself, then stationed himself in the middle aisle. and fol the rest of the evening gaSed into ths private box at the old war g0yernor who during the malss was unable t avoid the attention he Was receiving It created nere amusement snd ap plause than any seane in the play. Mr Curtin made futile efforts to ascertain the name of bis gallant protectas.-- Philadelphia Times, z

Couldn't Stand the Expense.

I was ordering my advertisement in Melbourne daily newspaper office one day when tall, lanky countryman walked in and said he wanted an "in memoriam" notice in the obituary col umn of the paper.
 My ole guv'nor died a year ago." he explained, land should like bit O poetry in the paper about him."
 "All right" answered the clerk, have you brought it with you?"
 "No," said the rustic. Cant you fix me up a bit?"
 Certainly" replied the clerk. "Our charge for in memoriam' notices is six shillings an inch"
 A look of intense amazement passed over the countryman's face.
 "Good gracious" he cried, as he made for the door, T can't afford that my guv'nor was six feet high."-Mel- bourne Argus.

The Czar's Faotnates.


 The annotations which the late czar was In the habit of jotting down in the margin Of documents that were sent for his inspection have sometimes brought despair Into the hearts of the highest Russian officials, On one oc- casion after reading a very lengthy report from a certain hlgh-placed fune- tlonary, the czar seized his pencil and wrote. What a fool" The official, on having the document returned to him was exceedingly sick at heart. The re- port would have to be placed in the archives, and his majesty's opinion would possibly follow him into history! He therefore resolved to petition the czar to be merciful enough to revise his somewhat rigorous appreciation" of his servant. Alexander IT. had a hearty laugh on reading the petition. Then seizing the report, he effaced the offending words. and instead wrote be- heath them. What philosopherw- Westminster Gazette

Another word to the good people of Alex
andra To those who were wise enough to give
us Il call and to inspect the offerings we have
been making for the last few weeks it is need
less for us to say anything in the way of ex-
plan8tiOn Of what we are doing. Our bar
gains are more convincing than columns OF
argument and our prices more eloquent than
mere words. But to those who are shy and
back ward, and who are suspicious OF sales"
gotten upnow and then by merchants to boom
business, we desire to say Il few words to-day.
In the first place we want you to under
stand that this is no fake" selling out. II
isn't done for pleasure, and it isn't done for
profit. Stern necessity caused the institution
OF this sale. Stern necessity fixed the prices.
Stern necessity again demands cut in prices
regardless of the value, cost and desirabilty
of the Goods. Wares IN Merchandise we have
still on hand
Tie law says that this estate must be speed
lily wound up. and wird up is the word even
if we have TO practically give the goods away.
Now if we have convinced you that this is
n bona iidc clearing out, and have gained
enough of your confidence TO have you be-
lieve that our object is to get rid of the goods
we have at any prices, we will, for the pur-
pose Of convincing those who have not visited
our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE tina.
we offer the bargains of lifetime, quote
some prices we have made on popular and de-
srablc goods. Figures, we know, don't lie so
we will let them speak for themselves Look
over our list carefully and if sou see anything
you want. cut out the advertisement, and put
you finger on the article and come to us, and
you will get the stuff exactly rs advertised.
To our numerous friends who have been in to
see us so often lately, We desire to say only
that this picnic can't last much longer. Make
hay while the sun shines. Our loss is your
gain A word TO the wise is sufficient.
