The play is done, the curtain drops,
Slow falling to the prom piers bell;
A moment yet the actress stops and looks
around to say farewell.
IL is an irksome word and task,
And when she's laughed and said her say,
She shows as she removes her mask face
that's anything but gay.
Acting is not all gaiety, lights and ap-
plause.
There is deal Of drudgery, vexation,
and heartache that the people in the front
of the house little imagine.
Mary Anderson used to advise young
stage-struck girls to keep off the stage.
The feverish excitement, the late hours,
the drudgery of rehearsals, the unnatural
stimulus from new audiences, rivalry and
applause, make the life full of perils to
health of mind and body. The careless
theater-going public have no notion OF the
strain on the nerves that is lnseparable
from a dramatic career
But members of 1.-THE profession" know
what it is, and they have as body,

ALLEGED STEAL IN THE NAVY
Story of Admiral Bsardslee Condemning
Repair Work Denied

repair WOrk Denieu
Washington, Feb. 22.-It is positively
denied at the Navy Department that any
report has been received from Admiral
Beardslee, commanding the Pacific sta
ton and now at Honolulu, condemning
the character of the work at Mare Island
navy yard, or that Secretary Herbert has
ordered an investigation of the affairs at
the navy yard. 1t is also said that
SO far as the department is is in
formed, the work done in this yard is
fully up to the standard elsewhere Touch
ing the report that the Philadelphia
starboard engines broke down on the trip
to Honolulu, the Secretary himself has
stated that Admiral Beardslee's report
made no mention of any such mishap,
but attributed the delay in passage mainly
to inferior coal.
AS for the Bos on, which is also cited as
an eXampl of bad work, it is said the

LANDED IN PRISON
Bold Boy Bandits Brought Up With a
Round Turn

Bold Boy Bandits Brought Up With a
Round Turn
San Francisco, Feb. pa gang of boy
pirates, after operating with singular
boldness and remarkable success for the
past IS months has been rounded up and
the quartette landed in prison. The en-
tire outfit, comprising a sloop and row.
boat, wagon and team, with large
quantity of provisions, was captured.
Captain Wilcox, known as the king of
the Pirates," is an experienced sailor
and piloted the craft across the bay on
stormy nights, which best suited the
piratical operations. The gang boldly
sailed up to the wharf, and under cover
of darkness, stole anything they could find
on the wharves or on vessels discharging
cargo. Provisions were preferred, as most
easily sold. All the plumber was taken to
the Alameda side and unloaded on the San
Leandro bay, where warehouse was To-
Gated for the storage of the stolen goods,
subsequently sold from door to door at
prices far below the market rates. So bold
were the pirates that they continued their
depredations on wholesale order and
their low prices were explained on the
pretense of cut in provisions by whole
sale houses. Their capture was the result
of incautiously offering large consign-
ment of flour at one-third the market
quotation. The women solicited ordered
the flour delivered on the following day,
meanwhile notifying the police. Evidence
against the thieves is so direct that COM
mitment to the penitentiary is considered
Inevitable.

THE DEFICIENCY BILL
The House Hears Some Objections from MI
Breckinridge

The House Hears Some Objections from Mr..
Breckenridge
Washington Feb. 22-When the speaker
| called the House to order at II O'Clock,
less than fifty members were present
On motion of Mr.. Bynum the Senate
| joint resolution was adopted extending to
Mexico the thanks of Congress for the
high honors paid Isaac P. Gray, late
United States Minister.
Martin of Indians, chairman of the
Committee on Invalid Pensions, asked
unanimous consent to extend the evening
pension blls) to u o'clock.
Jones of Virginia objected
After debate, in which the proprety
of the Government taking a hand in
suppressing railroad strikes was discussed
the motion to strike out the appropriation
for the pay of marshals was withdrawn.
The House then into Committee of the
Whole and resumed consideration of the
general deficiency appropriation bill.
When the paragraph relating to the
eleventh census was reached Mr. Hepburn
wanted to know when the reports of the
last census were to be published. Five
years had elapsed, he said, ana yet but
two of the twentysix volumes had reached
the public.
Mr. Breckenridge, in charge of the bill,
replied that all the material would be in
the hands of the printer by March LIST,
and the volume would be published there
after as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. Livingston, Democrat of Georgia,
moved to strike out the appropriation of
100000 for United States marshals fees.
1t precipitated some discussion.
Mr.. Boatner criticized the appropria-
ton on the ground that no specific claims
of these had been furnished.
Mr.. Cameron, Republican of Illinois,
defended the appropriation. A large por-
tion OF the sum was to pay deputy mar
shals who were in Chicago on the occa-
sion of the riots there a year ago. The
amount of these fees could only be estim-
ated, for, he said vouchers were not
transmitted to the Department OF Justice
until they were paid.
On motion of Mr.. Boatner a provi sion
was added to the paragraph requiring the
Attorney General to report to Congress a
list of the persons to whom this money
should be paid and the amounts paid
each.
Gradually the discussion drifted into
the question of the Government taking
hand in the suppression of the strike.
Mr. Breckenridge expressed his appre-
hension that the doors were opening too
wide when great corporations were allowed
to go into the courts and secure protec-
ton for their property at great expense to
the Government
Henderson, Republican, of Iowa, in an
eloquent response, called attention to the
resolution passed by Congress after the
President had sent troops to Chicago
commenting his action. The Govern
nent, said he, must afford protection to
interstate commerce and must enforce the
mandates of the courts.

turns. Coomassie then got in, but, as
usual she was too clever with her fangs,
killed and lost Sky Ball flew around
Annie Laurie in the most decisive man
ner, and Vida Shaw upset Nellie Conroy
cleverly.

DAVE TERRY'S WIDOW
Title to School House Lot In Fresno
Involved

Title to a School House Lot In Fresno
Involved
Fresno, Feb. % Fresno is in dilem-
ma. Arrangements had been made and
considerable work done toward building
$50, 900 school house on block formerly
belonging to Mrs Sarah Althea Terry, in
sane widow of David S. Terry, who was
shot while assaulting Justice Stephen j.
Field, six years ago. The trade was made
with Porter Ashe as her guardian, and
for year the matter has been in and
out of court in an effort to perfect the
title. The bargain was closed and every
thing was supposed to be ready for paying
over the money and receiving deed to
the property, but the discovery was made
that Porter Ashe never had been legally
appointed guardia of Mr.. Terry's estate,
and that the whole proceedings for the
purchase of the block are null and void.
A fight is now being waged between Ashe
and Thomas II. Williams, Jr., for the un-
remunerative office.

San Francisco, Feb. pa syndicate of

well, the Chico millionaire. Bidwell' S
orchard was for many years the most ex-
tensive in the state and still ranks second,
containing between 1000 and 5000 acres
planted in deciduous fruits. Nor has the
syndicate stopped at the one place. Sew
eral large orchards in the northern
fruit belt, comprising the districts
about Marysville, Vina, Willows, Red
Bluff and Oroville, aggregating several
thousand acres, have been secured at
rentals from $1,000 to $4,000 year. The
past two seasons have been SO unprofit-
able to orchardists that they are glad to
lease to Chinese, who are able to hire
coolies at half the wages
white man would be obliged to
pay them and can thus afford to pay big
rentals. A local cannery owned and OPP
Grated by Chinese will handle the prod
ucts of these leased ranches. In the
orchards white laborers will be unable to
obtain employment, and serious labor
troubles are feared during the coming sea-
son.
