ACTORS ON THE ROAD.
Ohscrvant Train Boy Who Has Melted
Their PecuIiarities

-
Their PecuIiarities-
A train boy on one of the leading
railroads thus gives his observations
on actors: ''One of the most notice
able habits of the profession when they
are on the road is the way they seat
themselves in train. The leaders in
variably sit by themselves, and the rest
Of the company follows suit, each ac-
cording to his own view Of his posi-
ton. And never, except on rare oc-
casions, do they address q word to the
members Of the company whom thsy
consider lower in the rank. 1t Is very
easy for train boy TO get into CONVEX
sstion with a member of a troupe. The
train boy is OF so little importance,
you know, that surely there is no harm
in talking to him And, judging by the
stories have told me, there are more
stars on the stage than the theater-go-
ing public has any idea OF.
''Oh what a difference between a
company going out and when you see
them struggling back in twos and threes
minus their baggage. On the way out
each one is Dragging about the COM
panies they have been with. This one
was not up to the standard, but the
manager being personal friend OF his
or hers, they decided TO help him cut
On the way back note the difference.
II they talk at all it is rather low, and
they wonder if there is any chance
for them yet this season. But, as rule,
I rather think they wait around until
next season.
ION the road they spend good deal
of their time in sleeping, and it is amaz-
ing the way an old hand at one-night
stands can curl himself up in a seat.
One often hears people who know moth
ing at all of theatrical life say it is one
Of the easiest professions there Is. Per
haps it is in the large cities, but there
is wonderful difference in company
starting out and company returning
from six or eight weeks of one-night
stands. That tired look they come back
with is not there when they start out

jealousy existing among the various

prising at all. Each is SO assured of
his own ability and his own superior

to be a clash. This jealousy Is more
noticeable among the women, though

It is said that lynch law had its origin
in Virginia. Charles Lynch, whose
mime has been given to the summary
proceedings known as acts of lynch law,
was a revolutionary soldier, and after
the war took up his residence in Pittsyi-
vania county. This region became in
tested with bands Of tories and outlaws.
whose depredations among the people
of the lower parts OF North Carolina
Carolina and Virginia caused reign Of
terror. Col. Lynch organized body Of
patriotic citizens. men Of character and
property. When any of the marauders
fell into his hands they were not taken
at once TO a tree or tied 70 stake and
shot, but were given trial by jury
selected from Lynch's men. II the
prisoners were found guilty punish
n.ent was inflicted upon the spot The
general impression has been that IN all
cases of lynch law the penalty was

AFRlCA'S WHITE RACE.
A Fierce Tribe I'm the Interior OF Whom
Little Is Known.

Little Is Known.
There have always been vague ira
ditions of white race locked up in the
interior, but, when the tales have come
to be tested, the white race generally
turns out to be merely tribe of lighter
colored Arabs, keeping all the charac-
teristics of the race and having none of
the white mans. But in this race we
have something much more correct and
precise. Capt. Larymore, at present a
d. c. to Sir Francis Scott, was sent
up to Koranza on mission and stayed
considerable time in the capital. He
took advantage of the opportunity to
inquire about this comparatively IN
known race and its neighbors, and was
surprised to find that there was an ac-
cepted tradition that there lived an in
definite number of days marches to the
northeast tribe of white men. Fur
Their inquiries elected the statement
that they lived on the skirts of desert,
which was difficult and dangerous to
cross. Attempts had been made to avoid
this desert by passing through their
country, but they were found to be so
fierce and SO absolutely devoid of fear
that the caravans preferred the dangers
Of the desert to the hostility of the
white tribe. Such circumstantial state
ments induced Capt. Larymore to make
stricter inquiries, and at length he
found Mohammedan priest and hadji,
a man of great integrity and consider
able influence He had been TO Mecca,
and it was on his way there and back
that he actually saw with his own eyes
one of this white tribe.
The man in question was armed only
with bow and arrow, but such is the
reputation of ferceness possessed by
the race that the caravan did not re-
main long in his vicinity, but left the
place as quickly as possible. Al Hadji
sam him distinctly. Capt, Larymore,
who, by the way, is type of the fair
Saxon, interrupted the priest in his
story and said that the man must have
been simply a light-colored Arab. No."
said Al Hadji, Il saw him close at
hand, and he had light hair and blue
eyes, exactly as you have" This state
ment and the confirmation it had re-
ceived by many rumors and tales was
one Of extreme Importance, considering
the strict integrity of the man who
made it. Consequently, Capt. Larymore
took down his testimony in writing.
The existence of such race is firmly be-
ieved in by most of the gold coast tray
elers, and, among others, by Sir Fran
els Scott Unfortunately, owing to the
fact that the reckoning of the progress
Of a caravan is done in the most care
less way, the spot cannot be located ex-
actly. Al Hadji says it is many days
from Koranza, which might mean 100
or 900 miles.-London News.
