"A second draw back of a college edu-

HEATING STREET CARS.
CFrom the Chieago Reeord9

(t'rOm the Chicago RecOrd)
If it We're the case that all the cars
operated by the various surface and ele-
waited street railway lines were invariably
cold it might be assumed that an adequate
car heating device had not been invented,
and that the companies are not to blame.
But on all the lines 1T viii be found that
some OF the cars are more than comfort
ably warm, lille others are icy On the
same cable train the passengers in one
car may be enjoying comfort and warmth
while those in the next are shivering and
chattering.
1T may be open to question. of course.
whether the car company is carrying out
its real intentions in the one case or in
the other, but, anyhow, it is evident that
cars can be heated and that if they are
not heated it is because of negligence
or occasional attacks of RIGHTEOUSNESS in
the use of coal
1t is high time for the companies to pay
attention to this matter and devote some
of their energies and surplus earnings to
securing the comfort of their patrons.
During the recent spell of frigid weather

IT'S BERNHARDT STILL.

From the Chicago Tribune.l
There is nothing extraordinary in the
fact that she is losing her hold to a
certain extent upon the lovers of the
drama. She has never been for one mo-
ment in sympathy with the modern
spirit and her pure romanticism has be-
come with her so much of an idiosyn-
Grassy of late that other actresses have
stepped in and caught the public eye
Still with all her limitations, Nine.
Bernhardt is an historical character in
the annals of the stage. nor is there a
single actress in Paris today who is fit
to be ranked with her.
Jane Hading is an artist Of high order
but she has none Of the commanding
personality of the older woman Re
jane has an abundance of the personal
magnetism which accompanies genius
but she has allowed her art to be fritz
tered away upon unworthy subjects,
and so lost the prestige which was hers
by right.
And 50 Bernhardt stands alone yet
as she has done for more than 20 years
al the head of her profession.
