GEORGIA WELLES.
A Chicago Ingenue Whose Methods Have
Excited Much Discussion.

In Sadie Martinots company, playing
an ingenue role in "The Passport" during
portion of the season just ended, was a
very small, very earnest and very pretty
girl named Georgia Welles. The auditors
usually paid almost as much attention TO
her ~ TO the star, not because OF the indi-
cation of any extraordinary ability, but
because the young wOman's methods were
so absolutely out of the ordinary. She did
not resort TO "a single conventional stage
Device although she had recourse to a
good many that were not conventional.
The impression left by Miss Wclles' work
was that she had resolutely turned her face
against initiating any one. This determi-

nation is an excellent ono if not carried so
far as TO violate all stage preoepts, for it at
least indicates the willingness 20 "think
out parts"
Georgia Wclles was born in Chicago
about two decades ago and contracted q
severe case OF stage fever at the tender ago
of b. Naturally her parents interposed en-
phatic aud effective objections, and tho
embryonic actress was Obliged to "let con-
cealmcnt, like worm 4 the bud" prey
on her histrionic aspirations. However,
the time came when, having finished her
school education Miss Wellcs went to Bos-
ton to study dramatic art. After year or
so she Joined a repertory company and
thereby obtained the very best possible
training for her life work, as she appeared
in wide range of parts in well known
plays. Later she had an ingenue role in

whose superiiuous flesh was keeping tho
boat back Last year Longacre just missed
being in the varsity again by misfor-
tune that kept him out OF college during
the last six months of tho year.
According TO Bob Cooks paper, the
philadelphia Press, Treadway of Sioux
City, Ia, is without doubt the best oars
man I'm the boat this year. He was con-
sidored good enough for tho varsity i'm his
freshman year. He has always kept In
training and Is an ideal oar. He has found
little or no trouble In following Langford
and regards the latter as having in him
the makeup of a splendid stroke oar.
Treadway Is good student and has main
taincd a oreditable place in his classroom
work Treadway is also the handsome
man OF the crow this year, and In this line
has no close competitors, mono of his fell
low oarsmen being famed for personal
charms.
Probably the next man In point OF oars
manship is Beard Of Poughkeepsio, n. Y,
a brother OF "Anse" Beard, the football
player. Beard is a stocky little man and
Of that rare type that pulls his own weight
and that OF several others. He, too, is n
favorite in his class and Is regarded by the
students in general with great respect.
Holcomb OF New Haven and Armstrong Of
Hampton, Va, are men OF the same stocky,
muscular and powerful type as Beard, and
In point of stature form a striking contrast
10 the remaining five six footers of the
eight. Holoomb is built up from the
ground much on the same plan as an Eng
lish draft horse. His calves arc marvels of
development and would make Sandow' s
eyes turn green with envy. Armstrong Is
the most thoroughly and beautifully de-
veloped man in Yale today and has often
been styled the "Sandow of Yale"
Longacre of Philadelphia is Of that TALL
muscular typo Of nsen Of which Josh"
Hartwell is n familiar Yale representative
Longacrc, however, lacks Hartwells fire
and dash and Is inclined TO be loggy and
slow in his work. His experience, how
ever, is in his favor and his great strength
and endurance make him capable Of un-
limited work of the hardest kind Dater
of Brooklyn and Cross of New York arc
both big lusty good naturod fellows whose
worst feature as oarsmen has been their
rapid growth, that has almost rendered
them too big TO get into an ordinary shell.
Langford Of ST. Paul Is an exceptionally
big man for Yale stroke, both In point
of height and weight. He has the spirit

Hollistor and Stevenson, and, in fact, tho
actual makeup Of the crew will not bo
certain until the day of the race.
A careful comparison Of the Yale and
Harvard oights of tho past does not show
whether II is better 10 have heavy crew
or light crew. Neither age, weight nor
height has had any decided advantage in
the long run. The oldest crews have, for
example, won timos out of IL, the light
est z times out of IL and the shortest o
times out Of 10. During the past Is years
Yale has won the great annual race IL

Harvard won WAS the race of 1891.

There is no doubt that Yale has good
reason to feel that she has a splendid eight
this year. IL IL, In the first place, veter-
an crew Six of the eight oars pulled in
last years victorious boat, and q seventh
rowed in Ives winning '93 eight. The
eighth man, Stroke Langford, to be sure,
is tho most important man In the boat,
and he Is far from being a veteran. He
is nevertheless a remarkably good green
man, and Yale Il we'll satisfied with his
work. The first impression that q glance
at tho eight gives is that the men are un-
usually big and muscular, and yet very
boyish looking lot. The eight now aver
ages 17SA pounds which is ten pounds
above the ideal average for an eight.
The personnel of the eight is very inter-
esting. Armstrong, Holcopb, Beard, Cross,
Dater and Treadway are now rowing to-
gether for the third year. They are all ei-
ther academic Juniors or scientific seniors,
and all rowed in the crack freshman crew
of '93 that the experts considered equal TO
most of the varsity crews that are sent TO
the Thames. Last year this "lucky six"
stuck together and made up the backbone
of Fred Johnson's victorious crew. They
have never yet rowed In "a losing boat, and

The tobacco market this week was
firm at last weeks quotations, activity
being displayed in every line. Much
good tobacco was sold and prices
again ranged from $40 up for this
kind. Common leaf and Jugs held
their own well and commanded full
and very satisfactory prices. Offer,
ings amounted to about a thousand
hogsheads and sales were nearly up
to that amount, reflections being few
All tobacco in proper order went of
without trouble, but there were a few
hogsheads out of proper condition
and it was thought best to reject
goods of this character. Receipts are
still very heavy and the indications
are that they will continue full for
sometime yet, as there is considerable
tobacco that has not been moved
from the barn. The growing crop is
looking we'll and the stand is fair. In

Heavy Hall Storm.

Possibly the heaviest and most de

visited this section passed over the
country few miles northeast of the

its blades and whipped to the ground
and tobacco plants were cut from the
ground in many places. Vegetables
were also ruined in many gardens
and the damage to fruit was also
great. Several small bridges were
washed away and some fencing was
carried off. The rain lasted nearly
an hour and was the heaviest for
years in that section. The damage
by hail is estimated at several hun
