was at work. There was a chink of
coin and she came back without the
letter. She don't want her husband
half as much as she wants an acquaint-
ance with the butcher and the baker
and all the rest Of that ilk," said Miss
Fay. 1t was done without any ostenta-
ton, but there was no doubt Of the sin
certify of the action

now that you have got in? Don't you

a woman write to ask me what the
color Of her husbands mustache will
be, If she ever has husband? 1t would
serve her right if she had to go through
life of an old maid. Now, don't star to
talk theosophy," and she held up a
small hand in protest at a question
And don't ask me the number of your
watch Some people do and that is
stupid, as it does not matter the least
bit whether your watch has a number
or only remains with you as a memory
to be preserved by the number of the
pawn ticket Somebody asked me the
other night if 1 wouldn't tell the num-
Der of bends there were in the sewers Of
want to know something about nv
methods.
''Well, I haven't any methods. I do
things as they come to me and as well
as 1 can. Certainly I believe in theos-
ophy. The person who follows in the
footsteps of Christ without trying to
clothe his grand personality with a
creed, is living the tenets of the broth
erhood of man. No church, through it's
own tenets, could make mantle for
the Man of Sorrows But you must
not surmise that I follow theosophy in
my work. Perhaps / do, but not con-
sciously. And 1 really cannot say that
my work is that of any school. Per-
haps 1t Is Of all schools, perhaps of
none. You have seen it? Then you
must judge"
Of her early life Miss Fay said that
she lived in little Ohio town and went
out to do her part in the work of the
world and did it as she found it. She
must work, she knew, land 1 thought
it better to go out and work for many
than to remain at home and wash
dishes for one man." she said brightly.
Then she would talk no more of her
self, explaining that there was really
nothing that she could say that would
be Ineligible or that people would care
to know and she could not take any
more time from her correspondence.
Miss Fay will remain here for another
week, but this evenings will be the
last performance at Market hall. The
size Of the auditorium and its level
floor makes it difficult for Miss Fay to
get en- rapport with her questioners,
and Conover's hall has been engaged
for this week, beginning Monday night.

Commenting upon E. H. Sothern's
refined representations of melodramatic
heroes, the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
gram says: If Mr.. Sothern is distin-
guished for one thing more than an
other, it is for giving a beautiful kid
glove gloss to your swashbuckling hero.
In the conventional medieval play,
breathing a spirit of feudalism, there
is much doughty handling of basket
hilted swords, and much variation Of
the ejaculatory 'By-my- troth!' In the
lusty effort of action" moreover,
there is little opportunity for the beau
ties of detail. One of the glories Of
Sotherns work in 'The Prisoner or
Zenda" and IAN Enemy of the King
is that all that is rugged is softened,
and yet not destroyed. The high colors
of genuine melodrama are all tnere'
but so admirably blended that har-
monious and really charming scheme
is presented. There is the vigor OF
Dumas in it-a d'Artagnanesque tone
but modified by the refining touch
of a Daudet.
Augustus Pitou. the author-manager,
has for years exerted an important in
fluence on the American stage. 1den-
titled largely and successfully with
melodramatic productions, he has yet
found time to organize and convoy
over the land some finely equipped
stock companies for the presentation
of modern comedy. His aims are for

important managers Of the country.

She Receives Some Queer Ones From
All Sorts of People.
If the aim of Anna Eva Fay is to mvs-
tlfy people, she certainly ought to be
satisfied, for she has had this town by
the ears. But in private life there is
nothing of the mystic about her She
is chatty, well-informed little woman
with fund Of information that makes
her an entertaining conversationalist-
and she Is about as easy to interview
as Ii Hung Chang might be when he
has lost his yellow jacket and is in
disgrace. The clerk at the Ryan is
supposed TO head off visitors to Miss
Fay, and the only way to get a card
up to her room is to bride a bell boy
or go up yourself. Miss Fay is the
littlest woman-in spite Of the fact that
she seems so imposing on the stage.
And she looks as though she might be
frail. But not bit Of it. She does a
tremendous amount Of work every day
and reads and answers more letters
than any stenographer in st. Paul.
She had letters to burn when the re-
porter got into her room yesterday. All
sorts Of letters, from all conditions Of
and were piled about on the tables and
chairs. Miss Fay was sitting in a big
rocker with pile of letters in her lap.
''Ah," she said, you would catch me
fortune telling, but haven't started yet.
Here's fortune though that 1t is easy
enough to tell,' and she reached for a
letter that read something to the effect
that the writer wanted to know the
whereabouts of her husband as he had
left her and she had three little ones
who were on the verge Of starving.
'sOnly one way to tell fortune like
that" said Miss Fay, and she bounced
out Of her chair and went to the next
room. where Mr.. Pingres. her manager,

''The First Battle" the Name of the
Work,

LINCOLN, Dec. 5.-A representative
of the Associated Press learned today
that the title of William ]. Bryan S
book is to be 1.-The First Battle" In
the preface he states his reasons for
writing the work in the following
words:
THE campaign Of 1895 was a remark
able one, whether we measure it by the
magnitude of the issues involved, or by
the depth of interest aroused. I have
been led to undertake the present
work by a desire, felt by myself and
expressed by others, to have the more
important incidents Of the campaign
put into permanent form for the con-
venience Of those who have taken part
in the contest and for the use of those
who shall hereafter desire to review
the struggle.
1.-THE amount Of work done by the
advocates Of free coinage is beyond
computation, and the number Of those
who took an active part in the contest
too great for enumeration. These facts,
together with the difficulty Of choosing
between so many me1itorious speeches,
have compelled me to limit the quota
lions to the addresses made and pa
pers issued, by persons standing in an

nor has he the fine and hearty scorn

did to some of his famous predeces-
sors, but there is no denying the fact
that as master Of the possibilities

while playing recently in a Vermont
town. AS is well known, Vermont en-
joys the distinction of being prohi-

agents, who Is known to be exceeding
ly suspicious of theatrical people, was
present at the performance having
received tip that Al Hart, who plays
the S1amese monarch, had Intoxicating
liquor in his possession. The agent was
lntently observant. Everybody knows
that an immense glass Of beer is used
in the first act from which the ele-
phant drinks. The animal had scarcely
gotten his trunk into the glass when
the agent quickly ran around to the
stage entrance and demanded admit

Manager Shean informed him that it
was only stage beer, but the agent
insisted, and was allowed to sample
the connection Of water, burnt sugar
and Soapsuds. His look Of anguish and
suffering as he gulped the stuff down
was something frightful to behold. He
made wild rush out of the stage
door, and stood for some time at the
curbstone, with a sad and pensiye ex-
preston on his face-a Disguised but

Even with a super abund-
ance of depredatory bugs the
average woman of Honolulu
takes a great interest in
plants. The taste of many
runs to ferns because they
are little or no trouble to
raise. And there is money
in it to persons who wish to
raise them for sale. A plant
for a quarter will be worth
two or three dollars in a
year if properly attended to.
That's the reason we in
cIuded Fern pans of Mon
mouth pottery among our
goods.
They are new here and
have never been seen before.
If you are raising ferns come
and look at our window.
We've lots of things in there
suited to the flower garden
or in the house.
In this celebrated Mon
mouth Pottery we have

YALE BOYS IN ENGLAND.

The Yale crew, which was defeated in
the first heat of the Henley regatta last
week, has left the best impression pos
sible among the English people. Their
names are Langford, Treadway, Long
acre, Bailey, Rodgers, Beard, Brown,
Simpson and Clarke, the cockswain.
They have been training ever since
they returned to New Haven from the
Christmas vacation, while their Eng
Iish competitors only trained a few
weeks before the race Like all Yale
crews they are very large and powerful
" built men, and their average weight
was some six or eight pounds heavier
than that of the English crews. The
Oldest man in the boat was twenty
three years old, and the youngest TWEEN
~. Mr.. Treadway, No. Z, the captain,
has been rated by several of the Eng
lish experts as one of the finest, if not
the finest oar that ever rowed at Hen
ley. He is a man of almost perfect pro-
portions, and in addition is strong and
handsome. America could not have
had eight better representatives than
these Yale boys; for they won the
hearts of every one wherever the went:
and ii is safe TO say that their visit to
England has done not little to obli-
terate the unpleasant feeling connected
with the Cornell and Dunraven con-
tests.
