A DUSKY ORATOR.
Herself in an Intercollegiate
Contest.

Contest.
Miss Gertrude Simmons, who won
the second prize in the intercollegiate
oratorical contest recently held in In
dianapolis, and which was participat-
ed in by representatives from every
college in Indiana, is a full-blooded
Indian girl, having been born in a
wigwam on the Sioux reservation at
the Yankton agency, South Dakota.
There Is something remarkable about
Miss Simmons victory when you come
to consider it. Up to the age of eight
years she knew absolutely nothing
about education and the refining in
fluences Of civilization. When, how
ever, she heard of the school which
was to be opened to the children of
her race at Wabash, Ind, she OBJ
tadned permission to go there, and she
was among the first Of the Indian
children to be taken to Whites insti-
tute. At the end Of three years, ac-
cording to the Indian policy, she re-
turned to her Dakota home. After
three years more on the reservation
she asked to be allowed to return to
the institution, and her request was
granted. She had acquired taste for
knowledge, and she was bound to have
1t.
Miss Simmons remained at the In
dian school until June, when it was
QiSCOuIlHQGQ.. one WdS IAGIl ulIlSISGH
years old and had taken a deep in
terest in her studies. She was espe-
cially proficient in music, and was
ambitious to pursue her studies until
she had fitted herself to become a
teacher and spread the light OF knowl-
edge among her own people.
Mainly through her own persistency she
was received last September into Earlham col
lege at Richmond, Ind, where she entered
upon the sregdlar four years course. She is
partly supporting herself by teaching music.
Not even Miss Simmons most intimate
friends know what her real name is she
having adopted the one she now bears upon
her entrance into the Indian school. She

thanked enough by the mere plasure
that one gets in doing service to a
woman!
"Ah, American women are fortunate!
'The intelligence Of your women has
asserted itself in surprising way.
Your women know a great deal, and
what they do know, thew know thor
oughly. They are less superficial than
we are; and, though they discuss dress
so much, they dream of serious things.
Many of them are journalists or doc
tors. And, unlike our own viragoes,
who Shrek for woman's rights until
they make themselves abhorred, they
contrive withal to be true women.
II regret that you have no conserva-
tory here as yet. Many Of your men
and women only need little training
to become good artists. If you had a
conservatory in America there would
be no room here for foreign compa-
nies, and some of your young actresses
would soon develop into stars Of
the first magnitude.

bounds when he learns of his blasted
home. Valentine meets Faust, and by
the devils aid is killed. Insidious Me-
-phisto, excites the justice-lOving neigh
bors of Marguerite by informing them
of the unnatural murder of her mother,
and she is carried off to prison. BY the
help of Mephistopheles; Faust finds his
way into Marguerite's cell, only to find
her partially demented. He proposes
to carry her away to escape the dread
consequences of her supposed crime,
but Marguerite expires in her delirium.
and Mephistopheles claims Faust as mis-
own. By the Intervention of the spirit
of Repentance and Remorse, Faust is
saved, and as Faust and Marguerite
ascend to the abode of eternal happi-
ness the devil is seen descending into
the internal regions amidst flames of
fire and birthstone"
This beautiful play will be produced.

company, and will abound in startling
scenic and mechanical effects.

Sarah Bernhardt has recently written
a notable preface to the first complete
history of her marvellous career The
biography is the work of the late A. L.
Renner, one of the great actress most
faithful friends, her former, teacher
and her constant devotee. The actress
devotes most of her preface, which is
not lengthy, to extolling the graces,
virtues, intelligence and independence
of American women. Here is an ex-
tract from it:

The play is declared to have an intensely
human story, to be brilliantly written, to dis
cuss problem Of far-reaching interest, and to
be notable for the possession of one of the most
dynamic scenes on the modern stage-the sex

An egotistical dramatic writer con-

explanation of his action, that Bryan
was the overwhelming choice of the
convention, that the telegram, what
ever it was, was not addressed to the

Populist convention had nothing to
do.

was found that Bryan had 1,Oi2 out of
the 1900 votes in the convention.
