Tonight sees the closing performance
of "The Cross Roads of Life" at the Grand.
1t is to be followed tomorrow night by
play which is known, by name at least, to
every one. the historical tragedy "Jack
Cade." This is story of early English
life, in which the fierce struggle made by
Cade against the tyranny OF capital forms
the main incidents.
1t is thought that at the present time,
when the labor question is matter of SO
much interest, the production of this
play is opportune. Cade's motto, Gan
injury to one is the concern of all" will
no doubt be much applauded.

lesaued by French writer. Take M

floor at Montmartre.
When a young man goes to this pro-
fessor something like the following scene
takes place:
Have you courage?"
"Yes."
"I warn you my way is severe. But we
will try it. Run down my six flights of
stairs as quickly as possible and then run
up again, crying out 'Bonifaccio' in various
tones. Do that for eight days, an hour
and half each day. Then we shall see
about beginning lessons"

though equally original. Heasks candi-

But a well-known tenor employs a

to him, ior example, and is met by an or

demonstrates, but finally obeys, and then
the master piles upon her heap of books,
surmounting the whole with glass filled

1t seems that in Sweden the "new"
journalism has taken root, and reporters
are so enterprising that even their Amer
lean colleagues would have to get up while
it was yet night if they wanted to get the
early worm first. The Stockholm report
ers resolved to interview Duse, and laid
their plans accordingly. One enterprising
journalist met her at the station, wearing
the picturesque but humble garb of
hackman, and drove her to the hotel.
Another reporter, disguised as major
duomo, helped her to alight from her car
riage, third conducted her to her room.
while a fourth, disguised as a waiter,
brought her coffee. The most enterpris-
ing scribe of them all heard the actress
order some new shoes, and bribed the
dealer TO let him take number of sam pie
pairs to the hotel and try them on. The
day after the actress arrival all the Stock
holm papers had interviews with Duse, a
little fragmentary, it is true, except the
How l Tried on Elenora's Shoes" article,
but still they were interviews, and the
press agents were unable 10 weary Stock
holm with reiterating the statement,
"Duse has never been interviewed. 1t is
all very well for an actress to hide her
head like the modest violet when she is

tai out Of the fact?

diocrity ali the year round, leavened at in
tervals by something really good, and the

time of year. For instance, just as people

going off to the country, the Daily company
comes to gladden. their hearts and keep
them in town. Next week the Frawley
company Will begin its season, but the
subject of absorbing interest this week is
the temperance OF Ada Rehan and her
colleagues.
Ada Rehan's press agents industriously
force upon the attention of the public the
statement that she has never been inter-
viewed. Can it be that the American re-
porter is less enterprising than his
European colleague? or that there is a less
absorbing desire on the part of the Ameri-
can public to read Miss Rehan's utterances
in print than prevails on the other side to
hear what Elenora Duse has to say for her
self? There was time when Elenora
Buses press agents also sought the bubble
reputation for their star by crying from
the huusetops: "Duse has not been inter-
viewed, behold how she differs from the
vulgar herd OF actresses" But Duse went
to Sweden last winter, and thereby hangs
tale.

There is curious story concerning the
| hrst locomotive ever seen in China. Ii
Hung Chang was given permission to
construct railroad from the sea to his
mines upon the condition that steam
power should not be used, and for sew
eral months the cars were hauled by
mules. Then Mr.. Kinder and some of
the foreign machinists secretly con-
structed a. locomotive out of such mater
ials as they could find in China. 1t was
never able to make more than five or
six miles an hour, but it was a great adj
vantage over the mule teams, for it
could haul seven or eight cars of coal al
that speed, when it took four mules to
haul one. But when the mandarians at
Peking learned that foreign devils were
using fire-eating monster on the rail
way they Immediately made tremen-
dous fuss about it, and called Ii Hung
Chang to account for violating his con-
cession. The old gentleman took it yery
coolly and pretended not to know any,
thing about it, but he afterward restored
himself in favor by issuing an order re-
buking Mr.. Kinder and his associates
for their presumption and forbidding
them tointroduce any more new tangled
foreign notions into China. Shortly
after he secretly patted them on the
back and raised their pay. The excite
ment quieted down and was soon for
gotten Then Mr.. Kinder got up steam
IN his clumsy old engine, and was al
lowed to run it without interference.
Later couple of regularly made loco
motives were imported from Europe,
and have since been hauling the coal
trains ON that road.--Chicago Record.
