The divine Sarah is going to do bust OF VIC
torien Sardou, the dramatist, academcian and
man of letters. 1t will be ready for the Salon OF
1897 The matter was settled the other day at
Marty. where Bernhard was paying a Visit to
Sardou and talking with the master various
details in connection with the play he has written
especially for her. and which she will produce

achievement was the bust of the keeper of the

This is how it all came about between Sardou
and Nine. Bernhardt The revival of Camille"
has nothing very extraordinary in itself, but as
Sarah Bernhardt promised Alexandra Dumas
shortly before his death to enact the part of
Marguerite Gauthier on the one thousandth per-
Torrance of the piece in Paris, she has resolved
to give the well-known comedy-drama some
special attractiveness, and will perform it with
the costumes of the period
No man in France possesses a better more
complete collection of engravings and documents
of all descriptions relating costumes of the
nineteenth century than does Sardou He was
able to lend Mime. Bernhardt series OF docu-
ments which will permit her to dress her artists
in the garments of two-score years ago. Sardou
had not only pictures of the famous Marie
also many letters written by her to her lover,
Armand Duval or, In other words, to Alexandra
Dumas, for they were one and the same person.
The playwright was, therefore, much astonished
when the Bernhardt produced to him a very
unique letter-the original one in which Marie
Duplessis breaks off her liaison with her lover.
Unknown to each other, Sardou and Bernhardt
have been collecting all the documents they
could lay hands upon relating to La Dame aux
Carnelias and their mutual friend. the late

The conversation turned from Marie
Duplessis to Dumas of whom many Oil paint

TALK WITH "NICK- YOUNG
Incidents of the Bali Season Discussed
by the League President.

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.--N. f. Young
| president of the National Baseball League,
| in an interview, attributes the fact that
| the championship race, so far as the lead
| ers are concerned, was not close and
| interesting near the finish of the season
| in comparison with that of previous years
partly because of the unfortunate cir
/ cumstance for which Mr.. Tebeau, of
| Cleveland, was held responsible" The oc-
| currences incident thereto President
| Young thinks, doubtless worried Tebeau
| and his men, as they suspected that the
| outcome of the case might prove serious
and jeopardize their chances in the cham
pionship contest This affair teaches the
! League one lesson" Mr.. Young says, and
| that is that something must be done TO
| stop the differences between the umpires
and players. On that score, however, there
| is not SO much to complain of as in previ-
| Gus years. The umpires on the whole,
| have given more satisfaction to the play
| ers and the public than ever before, and
am heartily pleased with their work.
| between a captain and an umpire, but moth
! ing serious resulted: These differences will
! always occur, for they are inspired by the
zeal of both teams in their desire to win. y
Mr.. Young says the coaching question
and that affecting the Temple cup series
League meeting. The League Will analyze
the coaching question thoroughly, and will
probably ask the, opinion of some OF the
action is taken. Anticipating rumors of
reduction in the circuit of from twelve to
| eight clubs, President Young said: The
| tweve-club league will remain intact not
| only another season but at least four
seasons more. The twelve.club compact
| year of it's existence. 1t has four more
| years to run. Baseball has been more sue
| cessful under the twelve-club regime than
any five years previous since baseball be-
| came a professional sport.

hand of one being fastened with a
chain about six inches long to the left
hand of the other. This chain, of
course, was fastened to clasp around
each wrist. Behind them was man

After they had seated themselves in

A LAND OF TENANTS.

1t is safe to say that over IS per cent of
our American families are actually or
practically tenants, for, if mortgages are
not ultimately paid, they must vacate their
houses. and large proportion Of them are
not paid.
But in Australia less than II per cent are
tenants; in Canada less than 13 per cent;
in France less than 20 per cent; in Germa
ny less than 35 per cent of the families do
not cwn their homes. That at least three
quarters Of our American families have
only shifting shelter is alarming, and is
more alarming because, since 1880, east,
west, and south, the percentage of home
owners has been diminishing and the per-
centage Of tenantry increasing. The
growth of a class of families who feel no
magnetism holding them to any particular
spot of earth is a grave peril to the state.
Unsettled homes weaken the family tie
and promote instability. - Household

THE INFAMOUS LOUD BILL.

reporter Of the Silver Knight Watch
man met Mr. Spofford, Of the National
Congressional Library, and asked him
what he thought of Mr. Loud's bill, or II.
R. 1856. Mr.. Spofford replied that he was
very much in favor of the bill When
asked why, he said it wiped out a class Of
cheap literature which is flooding the coun-
try; that it was national nuisance to have
SO many cheap books and papers dissem-
mated among the people. When asked
what he thought of its effect on the news
papers with regard to making each news
paper divide it's subscription list into states
and then into different postoffices before
depositing it into the mail, and then al
lowing each postmaster to pass judgment
as to whether the paper should go through
the mail, and whether IN his judgment
such supervision by the postmasters
would not destroy the efficiency of a coun-
try newspaper, ne replied that that was
matter of little significance. He did not
care anything about those cheap newspa-
pers and he did not think they did any
good. He believed the bill was a good
one.
He was asked if he expected it would be
passed by congress.
"Oh,'' says he, that would require a
great fight, but l think the educated peo-
pie will be able to control and ultimately
pass the bill and bring literature up to
some respectability in these United
States"
Mr.. Spofford, it will be remembered, is
a Republican. There was some trouble
about a discrepancy in his accounts a few
months ago, wherein ne was alleged to be
a defaulter for quite considerable sum;
but, so far as we are informed, nothing has
been done regarding it.

gold-using peoples. The result would be
that t scef.e the sap4e silver price as
now, silver-using peoples would have to
ask more in gold. Consequently gold
prices would rise, the market for our
cotton and grain would broaden, and at
the same time we would get better
prices. The agricultural products we
export would go further in settlement of
interest on our foreign Indebtedness, the
balance of trade would accumulate in
our favor, and the tendency of gold
would be to flow towards, not away from

Or things that people eat,
Like corn, or oats or barley, like
Butter, eggs or meat;
OF those we have plenty
And so it can not be.
'Tis something else we've borrowed
In this land O. the free.
An do we borrow cotton,
Or wool or sich like stuff.
To make the people clothin'
To keep the winter off?
On, no! The wise uns tell us

Then iron steel or labor
Say, do we borrow those?
Or lumber, brick or plaster,
Or anything that grows.
Now l am greatly bothered
But have a shrewd idee-
All wants are filled by natur
In this Ian O. the free.
If we're a borrowin' nation,-

For we raise every blessed thing
That any people need.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD BUY THE
RAILROADS.

The railroads could be bought and paid
for within 20 years out OF the net earn
ings and savings without taxing the peo-
pie one cent, or increasing the present
rate of freight and passenger traffic. But
the people are already taxed on every dol
lar of capital represented by railroad
bonds and stocks to the extent of ten
thousand million dollars. They are taxed
in freight and passenger rates which they
have to pay the railroad companies. What
the peoples party desires is that the
money which now goes to pay dividends
on stocks and interest on bonds shall go
toward purchasing the railroads, and
eventually owning and operating them

And still be in the van.

Two sets of soles will outlast;
You can't, with comb of the present,

And fills 1t with wild disaster;
