The wee little actress who has won the
hearts OF the public as little Chan Toy in
The First Born" and also caused so
much laughter with her tough" song,
eyed me graVely and acknowledged her
perfection of health, and then advanced
graciously, holding out her hand. "Have
some?" she aueried.
The sausage and crackers did not par
ticularly appeal 10 me: but the baby
smile she gave me did, and l accepted
that and felt better for it.
"D-doD't you want any?' she asked in
her funny, stammering way, leaning
against my knee and peering seriously rp
under my hat into my face. "Ii'l be a
long time before the play is out. You'd
better have some gum, then" she per
sisted. Take a small piece. Every body
says that
And the little lady spoke with deal of
scorn for the polite social fb. She is yet
straightforward, Her baby soul prompt
her little heart speeches and her baby
stomach prompts her to put a whole slice
OF sausage into The rosy mouth and follow

sary to apologize.
She was pulling off her bonnet and coat

At one period of my career, when over
work had made it impossible for me to
attend to my ordinary occupation, ana
travel ard change of scene were absolutely
necessary 10 me, l com bined business with
pleasure in way which shocked some OF
my acquaintance, but proved highly
satisfactory to myself. l learned of a
certain little theatrical company which
was gong out to gather in the shekels
from some out of-the-way corners OF our
State-which corners, though unvisited by
regular" com panieS, yield, sometimes,
quite generous harvest 10 the less pre-
tentious "barn-stoTmer." and-not with
out some misgivings it is true-I Joined IT,.

the position easier for me than 1t might
otherwise have been, and as our stage
manager (who was also our business

fallen upon evil days, l protted much by
his instruction, though l ofttimeS

it was given.

ously the tuneful wanderings of our
singers.
Perhaps the fact that 1 was generally in
a very decided state of deshabiIle on these
occasions-my dressing for my next ap-

Strange Case.

1t will be remen bered that some
time this summer a man called
"Gypsy Bill" was arrested on the
streets Of Logan for doing IN street
business without license ana he
was locked up in the city prison,
remaining there all night. On the
same night section boss by tho
name of Jackson was murdered in
Cincinnati and the same "Gypsy
Bill" who was in our prison on the
fatal night was arrested later for
the murder Of Jackson. Sworn
statements were sent from here
stating that the man could not be
guilty as he could not be commit
ing a murder In Cincinnati and do
ing all night time in Logan's prison
the same night, Nevertheless
"Gypsy Bill" whose other alias is
William BrOwnfiold, was held in
Cincinnati to await further devel.
opements. Strange to say he now
pleads guilty Of killing Jackson on
that night, and the crime Is fixed
at man-slaughter, and he is sent
enced to long term at the peni-
tentiary. 1t Is evident TO the caus-
ual observer that there Is some-
thing rotten some where along the
line Of this mystery. He could not
have committed q crime in Gin
cinnati and at the same time be in
II Logan prison. The condition OF
the whole thing is, he has been
paid goodly sum to plead guilty
to save the guilty culprit.l

E1nquIrer.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The
evening Star to-day says;
at can be stated on the highest
authority that the President is 60
ing to recommend plan for cur
rency reform in his message, and,
further, that that part Of the mess
age was written with the co-opera-
tion Of Secretary Gage. 1t Is auth
oritatively stated that Secretary
Gage is perfectly satisfied with the
Presidents message In regard to
financial legislation, and that IL
meets his entire views and support
"Further than this, il can be
stated, on the same high authority,
that the Secretary of the Treasury
will submit to Congress i'm his
annual report, the plan for currency
reform which he submitted to the
Cabinet at its meeting on Friday,
October 20. The Secretary intends
to submit this report to Congress
almost identically as it was SUBJ
mitted to the Cabinet, but with the
exception that he will make some
further rccommendations,bu but these
will not materially change the plan
already announced"
When asked today to give his
oginion as to the probability Of leg
islation affecting the currency.
During the approaching session of
Congress, Senator Teller, who has
just reached this city, said:
~ do not believe there will be
any legislation looking to the sub
stitution of bank notes for green
backs and Treasury notes, which
appears to be the favorite method
of currency reform, so-called advo-
Gated by the supporters OF the gold
standard. ] think 1t very doubtful
whether the advocates of the
can agree upon the details
of such Legislation, and bankers
will naturally hesitate to increase
the issue of bank notes in sufficient |
quantity to take the place of the
entire volume OF greenbacks and |
Treasury notes, especially in view
Of the fact that the redemption Of
bank notes must, to satisfy the de.
of the currency reformcrs,
be in gold"
