Quite recently Nine Calve was asked

woman who had good voice and fam
cied that Providence had cut out
career for her on the stage. The French
woman's reply was full of force and
good sense. II should tell her" she
said, firmly, ito go home and mend her
stockings; do anything but go upon the
stage. There is no happiness in stage
life. What is IL? II is life Of con-
tnual worrment. 1t is not TO sleep,
not to eat, to be always in state OF
nerves-to have cruel and unjust things
said Of you and motives ascribed TO you
Of which you are utterly innocent
There are very few born artists. His
tory proves that there are only about
three great artists in generation. For
one great reason the stage Is unhappi-
ness for the average woman. 1t is no
place for the woman who is not abso-
lutely welded to her art. The artist
should not think of marrying. While
she Is on the stage She is not fl 10 be

He does not wish his name TO be upon

as il should be. No. no; the stage, all
Turing, fascinating as II is, is not the
place for the wife, but the woman who
lives only for the art. That Is why I
say to the stagestruck girl: Stay at
hume, sew, read. teach, marry--do any
thing. rather. than go upon the stage"

On to Pinar Del Rio.
Two Bodies Of Cubans March
ing to That Province.

Habana, via Key West, April rs.
The Cuban general, Mayia Rodri
guez, is marching to invade the
province of Pinar del Rio with 5000
men. lie was seen yesterday be-
tween Batabano and Guinez, near a
military line made there by the Span
iards to prevent his invasion Of the
western province A big battle is
expected at any moment if the Span
iards do NOT open their line and let
Rodriguez pass Rodriguez is act
ing under strict orders FROM Gomez
to make the war lively in the west
of the island while be barrasses the
stroug Spanish columns in Santa
Clara province
Another strong body of insurgents
unde Gen. Alexandra Rodriguez is
also moving to the west in order to
support the advance of Gen. Mayia
Rodriguez to Pinar del Rio The
Spanish army in this latter province
has been deprived Of 10000 men
who have been sent to Las Villas by
order Of General Weyler.
The strength shown by the Cuban
army in these days, in spite of Gen
eral Weyler's mendacious reports,
bears out the pesimistic views on the
situation of the Spaniards in Habana.
Much comment has been occasioned
by aa article in the Diario de la
Marina, in which it is asked how the
government can meet, before the end
of this year, the war expenses and
the general obligations of the treas
ury The article is founded on the
official report of the condition of the
finance of the island published in
Habana by the financial department
The report shows that all the reve-
nues of the island this year will only
amount to SIS, 100000 in gold, sill
yer and paper money. On the intey
est of the debt alone the government
will have to pay sac, 900, 600 in gold,
and in addition the expenses of the
army, the navy and other items Of
the budget. The deficit will be more
than $10o,o00,0oo.
Fifty persons died yesterday from
hunger in Sapcti Spirisus and 40 IN
Cardenas. In the latter place public
sentiment was aroused by the
fact that woman was found lead in
the street with a baby of two months
in her arms Both died from starva.
