but then, and then. for the only time, did
she fall short of the ideal which she had
fixed for her endeavors. While her Be-
atrice was a charming revelation of the
role, it was not such a creation as her
Katherine. While it was beautiful in ex-
preston and in life, it would not have
made such a man as Benedick seek the
life of such man as Claudio. The cast is

STORIES AND GOSSIP
OF THE STAGE.
tSSGSSSGs S0SGSSSSSSSSGS

Mckee Rankin, after many years of hard
luck, seems to have met with fortune. His
own melodrama, True to Life" which was
produced in New York last Monday night,
is likely TO be to him what "Puddn head
Wilson" was TO poor Mayo. The new play
has met with favor. not only on account
of its superior construction and treatment
and its great heart interest, but because
of a splendid characterization of a convict
by Mr. Rankin. and last but not least, be-
cause Mr.. Rankin has introduced to the
stage a new emotional actress who seems
destined to become famous. This actress is
Nance O'Neil. a pupil of Mr.. Rankin
whose acting is said to have the repose and
the verify OF matured artist. although
so far as known at present, she is a debu-
tante.
Margaret Reid. the American singer, who
was introduced to the stage by the Boston
ians and who. in February, 1852, made a
sensation in New York by her successful

assumption of Ophelia in Hamlet" when
Marie Van Zandt was unable TO appear in
the role, has just been made the prima
donna for the grand opera season at
Cannes, France. Miss Reid was offered
large inducements to return to New York
for the Metropolitan season this year, but
declined the offer, because, she said, she
was not ready. As she is a great favorite
in Europe she can afford to court foreign
prestige for a season or two before return
ing TO her native land.
The Academy of Dramatic Arts OF New
York affects to be the cradle Of the future
free theater of America. It is to be hoped
that the future is not foreshadowed by the
bloody and otherwise realistic nursing
found in the cradle last week in the shape
of an adaptation by Arthur Hornblow OF
one of Mendes' one act plays, done at the
Theater Libre, Paris. Hornblow seems TO
like the smell of the dissecting table and
may be found lowering over the gruesome
subjects of Mendes, Zola and others OF
their ilk when he has nothing else TO do.
In this little sketch Il Palliacci' is enacted
over again with a disgusting elaboration of
its animal passion. In the finale, when the
clown has murdered his faithless wife, he
appears outside the tent with hands and
knife red with her gore. Later, when she
drags herself to his feet, she is literally
drenched with blood, and when the clown
experiences a spasm of remorse and takes
her in his arms and kisses her, both faces
are smeared with the cruel red. Yet this
is the place that hopes ultimately to secure
municipal, state or federal aid!
There Is a genuine dramatic novelty of
considerable interest at the Gilliss, where
the twin Newells are in the midst OF a
repertory engagement. Last week they
were seen in 1.-The Corsican Brothers" and

Impressions Of the South

One of the Union men who fought in
the late unpleasantness" With bullets
OF lead instead Of paper, was Mr.. Geo.
N. Lamphere, editor and proprietor OF
the Moorke cad News, of Moorhead,
MINI. The editor Of the SENTINEL
formed his acquaintance during the
recent meeting OF the National Editor
ial Association in Florida. Mr.. Lamp
here was greatly impressed with his
trip to our Southland, and in recent
edition OF his paper has the following
to say:
mississippi impressed US as the best
all-round agricultural State OF any We
have ever seen in the South. The
soil is strong and produces fine crops
OF corn and cotton, vegetables, fruits
grasses, etc. Cattle and hogs can be
grown and fattcned easily and profit
ably. Land is abundant and cheap,
from So so to $l5 per acre. The rail-
roads furnish excellenta and ample facil-
tiles for marketing. products.
Our impressions Of TIE South and her
people are good. 1t is clear as day
light that the people there are earnest
and friendly in inviting Northern peo-
pie to settle among them and will treat
them as brothers and sisteas. They
have given up the bitter animosities
engendered by the war and kept alive
by capret bag government too long
thereafter. They do not acknowledge
that they were wrong in fighting the
North, but they admit that its results
are better than as if they had won, and
they are now as loyal to the old flag, to
one country indivisible, as any OF us
who fought for the Union.''

Columbia Theater.

Eugene O'Rourke, who is identified
with delineations of Irish character, will
appear at the Columbia Theater to-mor-
row night in a new Irish comedy drama,
especially written for him by the actor
author, Mark Price.
1t is said that in this new play the
dramatist has departed from the conven-
tional lines of Hibernian drama in which
the same characters have appeared under
different ames for SO many years. In
The Wicklow Postman" there are no
British soldiers to badger the hero, the
blackthorn is not even mentioned and the
old stage-worn types of Irish character
have given place to something newer and
more up TO date.
Eugene O'Rourke and Mark Price will
have among their support the great ex-
champion of the world, John L. Sullivan,
and Americas ex-champion, Paddy"
Ryan, the latter being introduced by the
well-known manager and backer of ath-
letes, Charles E. Davies, more familiarly
known as "Parson" Davies. THE Wick
low Postman" will only run for one week.

An UNEXPECTED LEGACY,
It Led to the Discovery Of
a Forgotten Ro.
nance.
Why Susan Scribner Left Her Prop
erty to Her "Nephews and
NIeces."

A peculiar story has been unearthed by
Charles j. Heggerty in his search for the
facts OF the life of Mrs. Susan Scribner.
Mrs. Scribner died in this City on January
20, 1894, leaving the greater part of her
$50 900 estate to her four 'nieces and
nephews."
The legatees denied having an aunt by
the name of Susan Scribner and they could
not prove, therefore, that they were the
ones mentioned IN the will: The attorney
investigated the case and found that the
'nieces and nephews' of Mrs. Scribner
were her own children, and that they were
so designated in the will to hide the past
OF their mother.
Mrs. ScriDner was the wife of John C..
Scribner, whom she married good many
years ago. Previous to her marriage to
him she was living with a man named
Tom Hogan, with whom she eloped from
her first husband, Richard Barnes. She
had married Barnes IN 1897 and the four
children to whom she left her property
were the result of this union.
lp leavinc them her money she spoke of
them as the children of Richard and
Hanna Barnes. She herself had been
known as Susannah or Hanna Barnes.
Mrs. .Scribner had left her home in 1845.
The man she went with was boarder in
the house kept by herself and her husband.
She has never seen her children from the
time she left them, and it was to keen
from calling up the memories of her past
that she lett her property to her 'nephews
and nieces."

Opdricek is the court violinist to the
Emperor Of Austria and he has had orders

always with enthusiastic success. He is
said to be warm, magnetic player, en-
dowed with the power Of enthusing his
audiences.

between two rival companies of militia,
the Ransome Guards and the Daily Blues.
The Guards have the best of it till the
Blues decide to eclipse them by holding a
military funeral. The difficulty is to OBJ
tain a corpse, as all the members are hale
and hearty. Finally man who has been
accidentally killed is elected to honorary
membership and his remains are appro-
priated for magnificent funeral. AS the
solemn cortege Of the Blues passes the
Guards armory the latter overwhelm the
strains of the funeral march by playing
"Ta- Ra- Ra- Boom-de-Ay." and a free
fight between the rival companies ensues.
The last act shows the remains lying in
state in the Blues armory, when the
humiiiating discovery is made that the
new honorary member is not dead at all,
but is only stunned from blow on the
head. The corpse comes to life and the
Blues disappointment is mitigated by the
suggestion that instead of funeral they
give their first "Grand Resurrection Ball."
