ney reception. Her name was on every tongue. Her pictures were sold in the shops. The newspapers took her up.
 In a single night fifty thousand words were flashed over the wires. Mrs. Potter was the burden of their song. What the papers said about her made her decide to go of the stage What the papers say about her now is another story. Mrs Potter has two friends They are MT. Bellew and Mir. Daly. The other night an EngEsh actor in Mrs. Potter's com pany accussd her of telling faGsehood. MT. Bellew threw him out of the window. MT. Daly seems to have forsaken Mrs. Potter for the present.
 It is a case of self-preservati ton. He has a tender spot in his hsart for her even though she woefully disappointed him in that Shakespearian venture a year and a half ago. He had great hopes for her. It was true that she had failed under his man cement ia that sumltuous production where she appeared as Marie Anti toinette to Mr. Bellows Cardinal de Rohan. The stage settings and costum- ing were characteristic of MT. Daly's ex- travagancies. For a time the women flocked to DaIy's Theatre. It was to see Mrs. Potter's gowns. But Worth crea- tions did not make Mrs. Potter a New York success. Mir. Daily then put her under severe dramatic training. She was a conscientious worker. She had the grea'iest faith in her own powers. The world laughed at her efforts to become great actress. In the face of it she worked the harder. The world said she was in love with Kyrle Bellew. But she placed art above everything above MT. Bellew. She declared at one time that she would work independently of him.
 The stage was the breadth of life to her. Her last failure in America was her rendition of JuRst. Yet she was a Juliet to whom a far less impreSsionable lover than young Romeo would lose h.s heart. In many of the scenes she was strong. But she seemed afraid of herself, as if she did not want to be a tragic Juliet. She gave you the impression that she was reservlng her pewer until the scene where she takes the poison, and the scene when she dies She overesti- mated her power. Her strength did not lay in climaxes. The papers had great dsal to say about her Juliet. Since then she has not had the heart to appear be- fore New York audience. Nowadays when MT. Daly's productions are spoken of 1t is a sure thing that he will not have any Potter-Bellew revivals.
 Te metropolitan critics drove Mrs. Pot ter from America. She went to Aus tralia, the scene of her conquests several years ago. She reversed her former success. She can present her entire repertoire on the Australian stage. The

From the Buffalo Express: Co1nmo-

his boat early ON Sunday morning,
when he heard a cry on the deck. AS
drunken men are numerous about the
so-oalled Crystal City, SWisher paid no
heed to the cry, but shut his eyes to
have the remainder of a<pleasant slum-
Der. His thoughts had hardly fitted
from him when he heard another cry,
which sounded like this:
"Oo-o-o-o-o-o, ee-e-e-e-e-e!"
There was SO much fright in the cry
that SWisher went out to see what
form Of drunkard had such powers. As
he opened the door ne heard this:

the rear of the boat. Swisher saw a
shivering figure. 1t was clad in clothes
that were drenched and chung tight to
the wearer. The commodore was not
sure whether he confronted a beast or
a wild man. but to make sure he ask
ed:
Amt you got anything to do but

The figure arose trembling and plead
ed for something to revive him. This
given, he spoke as follows, first saying
that he was Michael Collins, a sailor OF

Question of Place.

Chicago Times-HeraId: When James

Cristo," a good many years ago. he had
occasion to discharge a member of his
company, who proved to be very bad
actor indeed. Shortly afterward, Mr.
O'NeiN's leading man was taken sick,
and after being laid off for a few
weeks, died in a Detroit hospital.
The discharged actor, who evidently
had just heard that the leading man
had left O'NeiIIs company. promptly
wired:
IF Blank has left you, I am willing
to take his place for 500 q week. An
swer"
To this brazen proposition from q
man whose incompetency had already
been demonstrated, Mr.. O'NeAI replied:
Il admire your courage in offering to
do what you SHOULD have done long ago.
Poor Blank died yesterday. If you'll
take his place and let him come back
to me, I'll give you $50 a week"

Greater New York. From platforms
in public halls and carts at street cor
ners oratical yolleys will be discharged
nightly.
The acceptance of Mr.. Dayton, of the
Jeffersonian nomination for comptroller
was discounted by his evident intention
prior to the official announcements.
None the less, Mr.. Dayton's campaign
is watched with deep interest. and none
the more anSiously than by the Tam
many sachems, who fear he will draw
heavily from the vote of the letter car
riers and firemen and their numerous
friends who would otherwise vote for
Van Wyck
1t is announced that Messrs George
and Dayton viii campaign together,
speaking from the same platform
though Mr.. Dayton has not endorsed,
and his friends say will not endorse
the polftico-economical tenets which
are believed to make up the popularity
of the free-ta1er and free-trader.
ATTITUDE OF THE GERMANS.
The attitude of the Germans in this
campaign cannot be accurately stated
now. At last nights meeting of the
legislative committee of the German
American Reform union, resolutions
favoring Van Wyck were tabled and
Low was endorsed. It was argued that
the German-American Republican
union does not include anything beyond
a goodly sized minority of the German
Americans, many of whom, pleased
with Sohmer's nomination, will vote
the Tammany ticket straight Other
Germans-bankers and wealthy bust
ness men-will support General Tracy
because Of his views of finance and
still others who believe the opinions
of Mr. George to be full of saving grace
viii support that gentleman heartily
In short, the German-American vote in
Greater New York, which is about
25.0O0 is most likely to be divided on
the lines of personal preference.

chairman of a straight Republican
meeting in the campaign next week.
and this viii be accepted as evidence
that the Washington administration
favors the election of the eX-secretary
of the navy.
queer thing in this campaign is,
that while Mr.. George says he will be

the proposition and says he cannot &C
