NAUTCH GIRLS OF TANJ0RE.
Wonderful Power OF PersonatfOn Re
suItsng From inherited Instincts.

The serpent dance, Winding through a
sinuous maze of gliding measures, APP
pears almost a transformation or rein
carnation OF the performer into the
cobra, which she represents, says "Ali
the Year Round" Instincts inherited
from bygone generations of Nautch DAN
GERS combine with close observation of
nature to produce miraculous results.
The Nautch girl lives TO please and la
bors for that end with the success which
attends the unwearied pursuit of one
absorbing object.
Universal influence and fascination still
belong to her, though in a narrower
range han Of old. n the dancer Of
Tanjore, who concentrates the whole
force Of her genius upon the require
ments of her art differs as much from
the ordinary Nautch girl of India as a
masterpiece of Raphael from the sign
board which swings before the rustic
Inn. Every feature of the mobile face
rejects the passing sentiment of the mo-
ment In the drama delifleated with con-
summat skill: the dark eyes flash with
fury, fill with tears, or melt with tender
ness, according to the exigencies Of the
varying situations. and in the nervous
through every vein and fber of the
eiasfie and exquisitely proportional
frame the tide of life seems to glow
through the veil Of flesh like some mistic
flame burning in a crystal lamp
THE Nautch girls form a distinct caste,
and iealously retain their immemorial
fights and privileges. They exercise Their
own laws and customs with the indie
nendence of control gained by a wider
experience of life than that permitted
fStheir Indian sisters.

HERBERT BIEggoHM TREE.

There is nothing very massive about
Mr.. Trees acting, none of those bursts
OF passion which marked the acting of
Salvini or that of Edwin Booth, and
really gave an inequality to some of Mr..
Booths work; but there is what one
n4tght call 81 general e~loquence. an al
Turing subtlety, a fanciful quality and
alertness of sense which f~asclnates,
which c~rystalliZes INTO taste and charm,
while it also finds expression In delicately
powerful pieces of acting.
In talking with Mr.. Tree one recog-
nizns that he Is q man of Imagination
and literary insight, with a temper ment
full of sympathy and humanity. He is
not without the GENITAL irony, which
rn--sz The renta', habit Of SO many
artists nowadays but against that is set

he has sentiment; he is u man OF man

q warm nature rather than the Isolation
of egoism. Impu1sive he certainly is,
but yet he liz also deliberate and constant
In all that concerns his work. He is
hard TO satisfy: at rehearsal he is i'm
periaus and exacting: but he has the con
idencA OF all who pfay With him or write
for him; for all know that he is the true
and sympathetic craftsman, looking after
the divine effect. He Is q man Of moods,
but he would be no actor IL he were not.
His effects are not rnachine made: they
are the result of impressions, of a spirit
amenable to the power of the right
thing, governed by the good discipline
of art which says "this thou shalt do

CALIFORNIA; ROCKING STONES
Arc They Results of Erosion or
EreahS of atuFe

On the summit of a low, rounding kill
near the town of Truckee, Cal, stands
4 rock thirty feet high and twenty-five
feet in circumference, with g perfectly
level top. On thecerter of thic level sur
face rests another rock, a fac-simile OF
the other on a smaller scale, the owner
of the ground has QUILT an ooservatory
two stories in height and circular in
form, which stands upon the larger OF

There Is ample room inside OF the this
building for several persons 70 s.ana,
extends entirely around the conserva-
tory. Several peculiarities of thefe

larger stone is perfectly reproduced In

| The smallest rock weighs sixteen tons,
and is apparently as the ever shrdiu
and is as apparently a s as nrm as n eae e may
| push and tug in a vain attempt to move
it, unless he touches a certain spot. But
If a child puts his little finger on this
| spot, with a gentle, pushing motion,
the huge mass of granite begins to rock.
| The movement is regular and almost
| noiseless, and investigation proves hat
the great rock rests on three almost I'M
| perceptible pivots, and thus swings clear
| of It's base.
Another interesting rocking stone may
| be seen near Pala, in San Diego County,
where it is regarded with great venera-
ton by the Indians: It is an immense
| boulder, circular in form, but fiat on the
upper surface. 1t rests on three; distinct
| ~pinnacles, and can be moved only by pc
| culiar swaying steps on its top.
When sat in motion 1t will continue to
| rock long after the effort to move it
| has ceased, and the grinding, runabling
| noise it produces can be heard a mile
away, resembling the sound of distant
| thunder. This strange stone may be
made to move in two different
| directions, according to the movements
Of the person who starts It. t may be
| backward and forward, like the rocking
of a chair.
So far as is known these are the only
| rocking stones in California. Scientists
| declare that they were caused by water
erosions, but some superstitious people
belive that they were held sacred by the
Indians, while still others aver that they
were the affairs Of a people who passed

TURNED THE TABLES
MinkakWas Administer a
Crushing Defeat to the
Wanser Team.
PURITANS ELECT OFFICERS
Richard Grant Will Manage the
Baseball Team During the
Coming Season.
PURITANs ELECT OFFICERS

The scheduled game in the Republican
Club League between the Wanser and
Minkakwa Clubs, which caused the hrst
trouble in the League. was rolled last
night on Edinger's alley, G~reenville, and
the Minkakwa Club came out OF the
contest with flying colors. When the
Wansers first refused to postpone the
game the Minkakwas declared that they
would forfeit the game rather than roll
it, but later they concluded that discre-
tion is the better part of valor and de-
cided to win the game by as large q
margin as possible. All the clubs BOWL
ers were impressed with the Importance
of being on hand, while the rooters were
also requested to turn out in large num-
bers. When the Wansers arrived they
found the Minkakwas out in full force
and their hopes of winning an easy VIC
tory by forfeit were wrecked. Their FAIL
ure to grant the request of their rivals
seemed to work with a boomerang erect
as they suffered more by the result than
the M~inkakwas. The Greenville. boys 1oi-
lied their opponents in the first game
by allowing them to gain a lead OF one
hin, but in the second game the Mink
awas jumped to the fore and main
tanned the lead through to the finish,
winning by IA pins. Fred Schultz OF the
N-Iinkakwas was in championship form
and led his team with the big score OF
$50. Charley Herig was secopd with l6S.
George Wadleigh of the Wansers cap
tured the honors of the evening, however,
with the big score of 1872, which gives him
a bigger lead in the Individual tourna-
ment. Following is the score:-

ACTORS OF THE COMING DAYS.
Mrs. John Drew Thinks They VIII
Come frYm the Dramatic Schools.

lHES. JVBh ISs
Come fryIn the Dramatic Schools.
In a recent issue of the Dramatic
Mirror Mrs. John Drew was interview
ed at length. Mrs. Drew in the course
of her talk. spoke of her theatrical
experience, and referred 10 the fact
that during her early career actors and
actresses were expected to turn their
hands to almost anything. The Mir
rcr'' calls attention to the change in
this particular within the last few years
Now a player Is picked with q view
to personal fitness for a particular part"
The Mirror continues
"Confessedly the only training schools
for actors today are the dramat1c
to sheer at these schools and to decry
their graduates But the future OF the
drama rests more largely upon them
than many may believe. There L. no
reason why the stage should not have
training schools il the absence CT OPP
portunities for training on the stage It
self. The theatre is an institution in
which exact knowledge is as necessary
as It is in other Institutions. This pro-
fessfon can mako no batter Roadway
without schools Of Instruction that ear
he profession of the law, or that Of
medicine, or that of painting. In fact,
the transition from tie old system to a
new one will involve Just such fornality,
IL the new one Is to be permanently
successful and to maintain dignity. Few
Of the dramatic schools Of today per-
haps represent any practical series of
utilities that the dramatic school Of
the future must develop. Toe many of
the present schools are conducted upon
p%retense and have no systematic ground
work. They have, in short, few of the
bona fdes that must characterize any
institution of training. But the best of
them should be encouraged, and not
held I'D to ridicule, for their need will
surely become more evident as time
