La Loie'' Fuller, who is to be at the
Grand mex Thursday for one night, had
the following TO say to a New York dra-
matte critic a few day ago: IT want you
to understand that the dances / do are all
my own. 1t Is easy enough, after / have
spent months working out a new dance,
for somebody else TO pick il up and initiate

deserves all the credit for IL. In the case
OF the imitation the gas man does deserve
the credit but in my own dances the gas
man can't do anything till L teach him

worth. Very c~onfidentially this esteemed
friend declares that Mr.. Taggart has the
nomination in his pocket. and, knowing that
it is his own, does not care to appear at this
date In the light of one seeking it. The
friend said Mr.. Taggart does not wish to
have all the politicians in the State after
him, for he has the reputation of being a
good fellow, ard, when a candidate, a mark.
The story is told that a supporter of ex-
Judge collars, OF Fort Wayne, recently ap-
preached MIR. Taggart concerning his inten-
tons. Mr.. Taggart is quoted as saying on
this occasion that, although ne is not a can

Terry season. Mr.. Irying's Saylock i'm
pressed the audience from the first act as
one Of great power and bore out. more than
anything else he did here. his reputation as
a great actor. His affectations of speech and
manner are not so out of touch with the
old Jew The emotions of a~varice. hatred
and revenge were interpreted with almost
the same fidelity and strength that marked
Mr.. Irving's representation Of this great
character twelve years ago. There is a sign
of weakening In the trial scene. where his
conception Of Shyiock seems 10 have been
changing during the last few years. 1t Is
plain 10 one who has watchsd Mr.. Irving in
this role since first seen here twelve years
ago, that Irvings Shylock has been gradu-
ally growing more animal-like in his desire
for revenge and less appealing to sympathy
Ellen Terry's Portia has generally been
considered her greatest Improvisation. Hers
seems 10 be the one with which all others
are contrasted. In the popular mind it has
been considered a standard. With her adj
vancing years Miss Terry retains the sweet
temperament that has always marked her
acting. Her Portia yesterday was some
thing for <matinee-goers to rave over and
those who attended will long remember the
performance.

entire Irving company was seen in The

There was no one else to censure.
For several moments he was silent
and his head rested upon his hand as
if he were in a deep study. Then he

She held up her hands in supplica-

He was beside himself; the mere
thought that he had found the woman
who had wrecked his brothers ideals
and killed his hopes of love and happi-
ness filled him with a desire to muir
der. But he soon became calm and
raised the weeping woman to a seat
beside him.
Il pity YOU" he said, after while.
"Such morbid. unnatural. cruel
thoughts as fill your mind can be born
of nothing but despair. Whatever
harm you bring to men, who lay their
