FROHMAN'S FUNNY RULE.
Trials of Miss Amy Busby and Will
liam Gillette

Boston, Mass, March 22-William
Gillette, IS is said, has been very at
tentiVe to Miss Andy Busby since they
have been appearing in Secret Serv-
ice'' together, and as Charles Frohman,
the proprietor, has a rule forbidding
man and wife or lover to play roles
requiring them to make love to one an
other on the stage, he told the two peo-
pie TO pay more attention to business.
Neither paid any attention to the
warning, and Mr.. Frohman, while the
company was in New York decided to
let Miss Busby go. Mr.. Gillette would
not hear of this.
In Boston Miss Busby left the COM
pany, and Miss Blanche Walsh, who
had been learning the part, was wired
for. Miss Busby is now at her home
in Rochester, where she is said to be
preparing for a wedding.

AUSTRALIANS ARE COMING
A Baseball Team From the Antipodes
Will Tour America.

tralian base ball team is expected to
arrive here in a few days. 1t will make
a tour of the United States, and, if the
judgment of many who claim to know
is correct, it will give American play
ers a hard battle for the first place in
the base ball world.
The men have been carefully selected
and are said to be a, fine, steady lot of
players. Most of them are we'll known
cricketers, and they expected the expert
ence gained at England's national game
will stand them in good stead in the eff
fective handling of a base ball bat.
In fielding the team is said to be ex-
ceptiOnally strong and the catching is
spoken of in Australia as phenomenal.
The Australians are bringing plenty
of pitchers and in Laver they claim to
have a sure haven of refuge.

missioner of the state under Governor
Morrilfs administration, is working to
effect the organization of all native Kan
sans, similar in purpose and effect to the
Kansas day club, except that it will be
constructed on broader lines.
Mr. Birds purpose is to make the pro-
posed organization not only as a medium
of building up the interests of native Kan
sans but to extend the fame of Kansas
and demonstrate its useful advantages to
the rest of the world. Mr.. Bird says:
The prospects for completing such an
organization as propose are excellent.

successful from every standpoint. 1t
would carry advantages to every member
and be a valuable advertising medium for
the state and her resources.

WILL MAKE ONLY RAILS.
Carnegie Steel Company Will Try to
Force Closure of Illinois
Steel Works.

Pittsburg, Pa. March 22.-The Carnegie
Steel company has given orders to have
the Duqeusne works, the largest steel bill
let mill in the world. shut down this week
that il may be rearranged and started
about the first of April rails.
The Carnegie corporation will then have
both the Edgar Thomas and Duquesne
mills on rails, and will be in position to
make the Illinois Steel company vince in
competition, if there be any truth in the
report recently sent out from Washington
that the Carnegie company intended TO
cut rails down TO S11 per ton, if necessary,
to force the Illinois company out of bust
ness Developments seem to stamp the
report as true.
The placing of the Duquesne mill on
rails will put it in the power of the Car
negie company to manufacture 2,200 tons
of rails per day or about zoe, 600 per year.
This is just 100000 tons less than the total
consumption of last year. To place the
Duquesne mill on rails the Carnegie COM
pany was forced to give up orders for
over 100000 tons of billets taken in De-
cember by the Duquesne mill.

LUClNDA'S FAN.
Through its feathery bars twinkled twin littl

Through its feathery bars twinkled twin little
stars
On the gallants who came to woo,
And a glimmer of pearls
And simmer of curls
We're seen DER its barriers blue.
And knights who had won the red rose of the
fray
We're waved by its subtle enchantment away.
1t caught the cool zephyrs from violet Wales
And rippled them over the lace.
It's velvety tips
Knew the red of her lips
And the delicate dimples a-race,
And, thoughtfully tapping with hesitant love,
1t sounded the knell of true hearts on-her
glove.
1t dazzled the dreaming Of peasant and prince
In witching and wonderful way,
And the birds of the blooms
They were slain for it's plumes--
Oh, its mistress was tickle as they!-
The envy of maid and the worship of man,
For the fame Of her face and the fate Of her
But one came to woo with his sword at his side
And his laurel all worthily won,
And strangely and sweet
Fluttered down at his feet
The fan-for it's mission was done.
Good grace to the gallants it warded away,
But love came in triumph and gained the fair
day.

In curious show called "Dreams"
We sail right into the evening skies,
And the very first thing we know
We are there at the port and ready for sport
Where the dream folks give their show.
And what do you think they did last night
When l crossed their harbor bars?
They hoisted plank OH great cloud bank
And teetered among the stars
And they sat on the moon and swung their
feet,
Like pendulums, to and fro.
Down Slumber sea is the sail for me,
And wish you were ready to go,
For the dream folks there on this curious isle
Begin their performance at eight.
There are no encores and they close their
doors
On every one who is late.

The seven o'clock bells chime.
