Counsel Nichols relaxed. He stepped
forward three precise PAGES. brought
his hand to his breast, inserted ii in a
pocket and brought forth a check,
making the following statement:
ON behalf of Walter G. Oakman,
Samuel Carr and Henry G. Nichols,

organization committee of the Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern railway.
1 bid So Az 800 and accompany the bid
with d certified check for 100000 given
by the Old Colony Trust company on
the National Bank of Commerce, Bos-
tom
The check for 100000 passed from
the hands of Nichols to those of the
commissioner and a gentle sigh es-
capped from the onlookers.
Chairman Carr stepped forward and
congratulated Commissioner Clelard
on the manner in which he had ac-
quilted himself. and the commissioner
returned the felicitation by congratu-
lating both Chairman Carr and COun-
sci Nichols on the smoothness that had
characterized the programme. Then
everybody shook hands with everybody
else because the fashion had been set.
and the interested parties climbed
aboard the car for the Union Pacific
depot. Other officials struggled along
on foot in the same direction. Freder-
lex r. Coudert and John w. Doane
walked all the way from the hotel to
the depot.
THE SECOND SALE.
At this point there was a larger
throng OF those who wanted to know
how a railroad was sold. Just across
the tracks from the depot President

was standing, but he did not show his

were present and Rugged the flanks
of Chairman Carr. Counsel Nichols
again fixed himself in the Austerlitz
attitude and the second act was rung
up. Master Cornish was in no hurry
He rather called out the legal phrases
than spoke them. Squirting one eye
through his glasses, he asked what Ie

the short head of Counsel Nichols and
seemingly smiled into President Clark s
coach. He happened to look down and

him to Canton. During that time the
major supported the family out of his
army pay and was the admiration of
the teachers at the seminary. the Rev.
DR.. MacMasters, Miss Blakely and her
sister, Mrs. Beauchamp, because of his
filial conduct. Mrs. Beauchamp, who
afterward became principal of the Girls
Episcopal college at Cleveland. had
even in those days great faith in the
majors future, and it was she who cast
the play and gave the part of Major
wellington de Boots to Mckinley.
After the law school closed the Po-
land Union seminary another building,

and youth too young to go to the war

Kinley came home. About the same
time arrived other soldiers. discharged
by reason of wounds or sickness, or

up their classes in the Union seminary.
They wore their uniforms. some as pri-
Yates. others as line and staff officers.

amusing performance of the character
of Old Hoss in "a Parlor Match" is
bringing to the surface n lot of highly
characteristic stories of the man as he
was in his days of affluence. One of
these, which is new to me, was told a
the Herald Square theater a night or
two ago by Charles E. Evans, Mr..
Hoey's almost lifelong partner. 1t seems
that one night during an Evans and
Hoey engagement in Boston Hoey was
a visitor in the rooms of the ElkS' club
in that city. There were, as usual. q
number of hangers on sitting about the
place, and they received the flush come
dian with a good deal of effusiveness.
AS the drinks went around again and
again the checks were one after the
other pushed over to where Mr.. Hoey
was sitting He was telling stories,
which were being listened to and ap-
plauded with the eagerness that often
characterizes the guests of a liberal
purchaser. and Hoey didn't notice the
trend of affairs until settling time came.
He then picked up the quite formidable
bundle of checks which had accumulat-
ed in front of him and looked them over.
His expression was at first perplexed.
but as the truth of the situation dawn
ed upon him grin overspread his coun-
tenance, and he said. at the same time
tossing a bank note to the waiter:
''Ah. seei This is an Elks' benefit"
Speaking of the Elks," continued
Mr.. Evans. after telling the story Of
his old friend and associate, reminds
me OF a little experience of mine some
years ago. We were playing in the

Saturday and Monday in st. Paul. on
Saturday night game OF poker was
begun. in which several Of the town
residents of sporting proclivities took
part. We played all night and far into
Sunday afternoon, stopping only for
breakfast. At the finish a wealthy
lumber dealer owed me $4,000. and said
he would send a check around TO me in
the morning. AS his responsibility was
vouched for. that arrangement was
satisfactory. But the check didn't ar
rive on Monday. and on Tuesday il was
still absent. a man came to me.

the money instead OF winning il ny

had any suggestion TO offer. he might
come around to see me personally and
talk il over with me. This seesawing
performance went on for a day or TIVE.
and then the lumber dealer invited me
up to his room to have 4 talk. He said
he thought IL was a lot OF money 10

but that il had been lost and ought 20

Miss Ada Rehan
As ROSalind.

Ada Rehan's Rosalind is probably the
best within living memory. One used
to think the best was that of Miss Hell
en- Faucit Uady Martini. Miss Rehan's
has much OF the quality of Lady Mar
tins Rosalind and resembles il far more
in all the best qualities of Rosalind
than any other performance OF recent
time: but. although IL may seem pro-
family TO say so. Miss Rehan's Rosalind
has perhaps an element OF sympathy
and love feeling even excelling any
thing which Helen Faucit achieved. To
give the fine points OF the character
would simply require that one should
go over every line of the play. because
there is not a line. whether spoken by
herself or by others on the stage with
her. that is not illustrated in the most
charming manner by her delicious act
ing. but perhaps some idea OF her per-
formance is expressed by those who say
that the note OF IL is struck from the
very first moment when Rosalind is in
terested in Orlando; that throughout
the rendering there can never be any
doubt in the minds of those who are
looking at Rosalind that she is perfect
ly. tenderly. faithfully possessed by her
love OF the man whom her heart has
fixed upon: that with many Rosalinds
there is, in one way or another, a tend
ency in the playing OF the masculine
scenes TO produce dramatic effect by
airs OF banter and fiippancy and game
someness. which rather wells the deep
love feeling by which. from first 10 last
Rosalind is inspired; that. OF course. II
is necessary that the masculine phases
should be kent I'D and that the love
should not be too unmistakably ex-
pressed in Rosalind's demeanor; that
this has led many Rosalinds into the
mistake just mentioned: that one can
go back and think of Rosalinds who.
with all their ability and charm. have
been either mere hoydens OF merely
fippant or merely bOyish; whereas to
the audience there ought always to be
visible the wonderful passion which
Rosalind is always cherishing: that il is
the great charm OF Miss Rehan's Rosa
lind that no man seeing her play the
part and knowing what love is and
what he would desire his own love TO
be can fail to feel that she is the very
ideal OF an intelligent and faithful love
possessed woman: that this goes far to
explain the charm of the performance,
but that. beyond all this. there is a
wonderful success in all the details
that the fainting scene. for instance.
Is more gracefully and touchingly con-
Quoted, and that there is no point of the
rendering which is not perfect exem-
plification of what a great artist may
do with perhaps the greatest female
part that ever was written.-Sir John
