MARIE BURROUGHS
While Yet a School Girl She Decided
to Become an Actress.

TO BeCOme an Actress,
1t was while still schoolgirl in her
native city of San Francisco, Cal, and
before she had seen a play performed,
that Miss Lille Arlington determined
to become an actress. Later, when
Lawrence Barrett was in San Francisco,
she procured an introduction to him and
told him of her ambition. He discour-
aged her aspirations, but heard her re-
cite the curse scene" from Leah, the
Forsaken." He made no comment then,
but two weeks later called at her home
and handed her a telegram from DIR,
M. H. Mallory offering her an engage
ment at the Madison Square Theater,
New York. In a few weeks she made
her debut under the stage name Of Marie
Burroughs as Gladys in 1.-THE Rajah,"
which she followed with the important
part of Irrna in alpine Roses" DR.,
Mallory placed her under the instruc-
Of Mr.. Louis T.. Massen, who had played
Ralph in "The Rajah" and whom she
afterward married. Miss Burroughs
worked hard and in few years be-
came leading lady of the company. She
played Queen Guinevere in elaine"
when 1t was produced in April, 1887 and
when A. M. Palmer became manager
her engagement was renewed and she
appeared as Lefty in Saints and Sim
ners" and other leading parts in the
Madison Square repertory. When E.
S. Willard, the famous English actor,
came to this country, she was chosen
to support him as leading lady and since
then as Mary Blenkarn in THE Middle
man." Vashti in Judah" Edith in
Wealth." Kate Norbury in John
Needham's Double" and other leading
parts, she has been well known to
American playgoers. OF these parts
Vashtf Dethic in Judah" is the one in
which Miss Burroughs has been most
highly commended by the critics of the
press. In the later plays produced by
Wizards company are included "A
Fools Paradise" in which Miss Bur-
roughs sustains the part of Kate Der
went and 1.-THE Professors Love Story
in which she has an ingenue role-that
Of Lucy White. Still more recently, at
Boston and New York, Miss Burroughs
has appeared as Ophelia to the Hamlet
of Mr. Willard, and her impersonation
OF the character and Interpretation Of
the lines of this part received high COM
mendation from the press of the two
cities. This was not her first incursion
into the Shakespearean field, as she had
previously been seen at the Academy
of Music as Juliet, with Mr.. Louis F.
Massen as Romeo.

MRS. HUBER.

vera At some time she was confident
that they would tell her all. She was
destined, howeVSr, to learn the secret in
a remarkable manner. Six years and
half had worn on, and one night, after
finishing letter to her Developments,
Mrs. Huber sat llstlessly at her desk,
Ipen IN hand and hand on paper, in writ
ling position. Suddenly a peculiar feel
ing of numbness stole into her right arm
land hand, and Immediately afterward
the hand commenced to move involun-
tarlly across the paper. The pen trav-
ersed the paper, leaving a sentence or
two Of almost illeglble writing. The
same numbness Of the muscles and in
voluntary motion OF the hand occurred
repeatedly after this, the writing grow
ing more legible each time, until finally
she was able to make out very clearly
what had been written. Almost the first
writing that she had involuntarlly
traced contained these remarkable
words: "Your fathers name is William
Bullock"
Mrs. Huber glanced at the paper ner-
vously and with amazement She had
supposed that the motion Of the hand
had been caused by some twltchiAg Of
the muscles, and more in curiosity than
anything else, looked to see If a word or
two had been accldently written. Mr..
Huber thought the affair a singular CO.
Incidence but did not see much in 1t.
Mrs. Huber was not satisfied and COM
municated with her foster-parents, ask
L. l. 20 1pfc
Bullock The reply was in the affirma-
tive, and great establishment was ex-
pressed as to how Mrs. Huber had found
it out. Then Mrs. Huber resolved to
test the new-found power, and frequent
ly placed herself at her desk and fell
into a passive state. Message after
message was received, until now she has
a stack Of them at home an inch thick.
One of the writings contained the state
ment that her mothers name was Anna;
another that she had died Of consump-
ton; third, that her mother and father
separated before her birth; and another,
that her birthday was the 18th
Of December. These statements,
written involuntarlly, have all
bees corroborated by her fos-
ter-parents, who were much per-
turbed in regard to the source Of Mrs.
Hubers information. When she wrote
to Mrs. Andersoy asking IL her birthday
was not Dec. 10, the reply came that 1t
was Feb. Is. Later on Mrs. Anderson
looked up the papers Of adoption, and
discovered that 1t really was Dec. 10, al
though Feb. 10 had always been cele-
brated as Mrs, Huber's natrl day, prob
ably because ser adoption h The Ander-
sons took plaN% On that Ia.e. These
singular circumstances aroused the
wonder and establishment Of everybody
who knew of them. at last Mrs. Huber
came to the conclusion that she had re-
Seived communication from the other

Nora Helmer in "A Dolls House." She
is possessed in addition of a babyish
lisp, which is either affected or real, but
which in any case mars her work Sc
riously.
OF course all this is hearsay; I have
not seen the lady act, and consequently
cannot speak from the standpoint Of
personal knowledge. That it is all true,
however, I have no doubt. There is
y unanlmity in the opinions of the New
York critics with respect to Miss
Achurch's work which leaves no ground
10 doubt that their views as to her abil-
tiles are well founded. 1t is an old
story, this.

It was publicly talked all over Glare
County for some time before the Cou-
rier-Herald sent q reporter to Dover to
investigate the Coulter matter. He
finally went, and we publish to-day his
report The Coulters are prominent
people, though Mrs. c. in response to
the question whether she objected to be-
Ing interviewed, said, Certainly not"
Her story follows: about IA years ago
we decided to take up our abode in
Dover and everything went along
smoothly for seven years, business
progressed and being OF saving tenn
permanent we accumulated quite an
amount. Our family increased as the
years rolled by and we now have 3
children, but sickness made lis way into
our household, and doctors bills flooded
upon us, until we have nothing left but
our home and our children. Everything
went to satisfy the claims Of physicians.
About three years ago l had miser-
able feeling at the back Of my ears, my
right hand became paralyzed and the
paralysis extended to my arm and
throat, and would affect my head and
eyes. Sometimes for days 1 would lose
my sight, my face was deformed, life
less as 1t were, my nose was drawn to
one side and l presented q pitiable APP
pearaace and never expecting to regain
ny natural facial expressions. / en-
ployed the best physicians that could be
procured, expanding thousands Of dol
lars for their services, but could not OBJ
tain relief. At last, they stated my
case was beyond the reach of medical
skill and 1t would be but short time
until the end would come. In con-
nection with receiving the attendance
of physicians 1 have tried every medis
cine known to the apothecary but
never received any relief until DR..
Williams Pink Pills came to my as
sistance. Before l had taken half OF
the first box the deformlty in my face
had left me, and before four boxes had
been consumed the paralysis had disap-
peared entirely and much to my sur
prise | felt like new woman. / have
not taken any medicine since last spring
just about year ago and my trouble
hos not appeared since. l owe my
health. my life to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills
"a short time since my little boy John
was afflicted with st. Vltus' dance. He
could not walk across the room without
assistance, in fact he would fall all over
himself, but after taking few boxes of
Pink Pills. st. Vitus' dance entirely left
him, and no trace of it is left. These
Pills are worth their weight in gold
You may say in this connection that !
am willing at any time to make affidavit
to the truth Of these statements, and
Furthermore will answer any commu.
nication concerning my case.
Pink Pills contain all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all drug
gists, or may be had by mail from DR..
Williams Med. Co., Schenectady N Y,
for so cents per box, or six boxes for

ly, agree that she is an actress Of mod
crate ability, but not by any means
deserving of the rank to which English
opinion has sought to elevate her.
Miss Achurch came to this country a
little over a year ago, heralded by the
plaudlts Of the London press. The crit
les over there found her great, and pos
sibly they were honest in their opinions,
as Miss Achurch, sooth to say,had every
opportunity to appear to advantage on
the English stage, which has not pro-
duced in late years at least many ac-
tors or actresses of whom 1t could be
truthfully said they were great.
So Miss Achurch shone by comparl-
son. Mr.. Richard Mansfield, whose
judgment in artistic matters Is occa-
sionally open to question, though his

father was alive, well, and wealthy,
and resided in Australia. Again COM
muncation camC saying that valuable
property still reclaimed in her fathers
name in Detroit. All of these revela-
lions were at once made known to Mrs.
Huber's foster parents in Kansas City.
The answer came that her father was
not dead to their certain knowledge,
but his whereabouts were unknown to
everybody and had been for twenty
five years or more, for he separated
from his wife few months before his
daughters birth and disappeared. In
regard to the property, Mr.. Bullock had
owned some in Michigan, but Mr.. and
Mrs Anderson had not kept track Of it.
AS result Of these revelations Mr..
ana Mrs. Huber have become ardent
spirltualsts. The foster-parents have
not been converted, however, and Mrs.
Anderson Is much grieved at the reve-
latlons which have come to her beloved
foster-child. Mr.. Anderson Is a we'll
known railway man in Kansas City
and holds responsible position.
Mr. Huber Is well known in st. Louis
business circles and Is a member Of the
Furniture Board Of Trade and the
Paint, OIL and Drug club The family
stands we'll in the community and he
and his wife are highly cultured people.
The letter and trip to Detroit may, per-
haps, add another chapter to the narra-
tive in the near future. Mr.. and Mrs.
Huber believe so at any rate.

Inconsistency of tho sultan's Faith.

The sultan of Johore, who died in
London short time ago, furnished an
instance of how this world do move.
India is the very stronghold of super
stition, of rites and fate and magic
charms, and not many years ago no
Indian potentate would have trusted
himself to the strange cures of the
white man. But this picturesque mon
arch, away off in ancient Johore,
when he felt himself seriously sick,
started at once for London in order to
procure the best medical advice the
world could give. From India to LON
don he journeyed, trusting not to the
skill of his native doctors, but after
making so terrible an effort to escape,
he died in day or two after his arriv-
al in England

Chorus Girls Cause a surprise.

This year the members Of the sophO-
more class of Rutgers College resolved
to vary the usual monotony Of the Gre
nation celebration. The effect OF the
startling innovation introduced by the
bold students upon the crowd that
thronged the circus grounds to witness
the rites attending the humiliation Of
"Analytics" was more than startling
Heretofore it has been the custom for
the college men to show their agility
in celebrating their release from the
thraldom of old "Analytics" by par
ticipating in ballet dance as part
of the ceremonial. The committee
considered this too tame, and promised
a surprise. At the time for the ap-
pearance of the ballet score of bright
coryphees from New York pirouetteG

ties in high kicking and acrObatica
were given in bewildering succession.
1t was a revelation to the staid de-
scendants of the Dutch. Many Of
them were shocked by the actions Of
the dancers, and the willy collegians
are being censured for their audaclty.

Chinese Money.

It is held by some that the coinage Of
China was invented especially for the
confusion Of the foreigner. At any rate,
two market villages 20 miles apart are
quite certain to have different rate Of

conference.-the foreigner is not the one
who profits thereby. Thus. suppose you

your 1000 coins, only to be told that
the exchange is 1850, and you have to
find the balance. Next day, having in.
vested all your savings in cash, you re-
turn to Stone Umbrella, intending to
buy up all the silver in circulation at
the lower rate Of exchange.

many persons 80 unmindful of the symp-

almost take that deadly argument to in

that botanic restorer, Hostetter's Stomach

digestion, biliousness and irregularity of
the bowels, and completely fortifes the
system against their further inroads. It's
ingredients are drawn from natures

the objections attaching to many alb

the delicate, infrm, convalescent and

between meals to stimulate appetite and
