DDS are quiet and refined, and she Is to the
last degree opposed to anything which
savors of ensationalisnn, thus demonstrat-
ing that she is warm admirer Of the
school of acting of which the great Duse
is the most ilustrious exponent. Her
enunciation is clear aud distinct, and hor
gestures easy and natural but forceful by
reason of their freedom from convention

village of Beaufort, 5. C. Her family is
one of the best known and Oldest in the

While she was still a child Miss OdelI

reading of selections from the works of

in 1891, when she became a member OF
the Lyceum Theater company, New York
city, with which she at first played a small
part in Nerves. Manager Daniel Froh-

placed her IN his road company, in which
she played the leading parts IN The
Wife and Sweet Lavender Leaving
this company, she played for one season
the leading feminine role in Blue Jeans,
after which she rejoined the Lyceum forces

A RAILROAD ULTIMATUM.
Why an Employe Who is the Cause
of a Wreck is Never Reinstated.

The iron bound rule of all railroad
arrangements of never reinstating an
engine or train employe through whose
mistake or negligence, a wreck has oc-
Cured, has often been condemned as
unjust. AS often as the condemnation
is made the theory is advanced that
the remembrance of one accident
would cause the employee to be doubly
careful in the future.
While this theory would undOubted-
ly prove correct in the majority of
cases, few people are aware OF the view
taken of this matter by the railroad
officials A prominent Santa F'e Off
cial of this city presented the railroad
side of the question in speaking of this
matter yesterday. He said.
Discipline is as necessary in railroad
management as in the army, and the
rule of never reinstating an employe
whose negligence has been the cause
of an accident is simply a rule of dis
cipline. "A discharged employe is new
err prevented from securing employ
ment on another road, but on the CON
trary is aided in the matter of recon-
mendations if his past record has been
good. 1t is true, however that an en-
plOye discharged on account of an ac4

Sunday night, demonstrations were
made at South Chicago and other cub
urban stations, large crowds surround

snce by the use of fireworks and brass
bands. The train had barely passed the

over the meeting at Chicago with Hon

against him, but he has become an ar

more favorable than they were in 1890,

started and shook hands all round
When the train reached Fort Wayne,
at 20 o clock a. m, there were about
$500 people on the platform, and when
Bryan came out he was crested cordi-
ally. When requested to speak he re-
piled that none of the newspaper men
were up yet and he had promised them
he would not speak in their absence, be-
sides he expected to have quite a large
audience to talk to in New York and
wanted to save some of his voice for
that meeting. Then the crowd fled
