A PIONEER SHOEMAKER,
WORKING At HIS TRADE ALTHOUGH EIGHTYFIVE YEARS OLD
Mr. James McMIen of Champaign Has Followed the Shoemakers
Trade All His Life Every Day at His Bench Working with Appar-
entity the Same Ygo as Young Man Sketch Of HisLe
From the Gazette Champaign, III.

At the advanced age of eighty-fve years,
James McMillen, of liz West Washington
street, is one Of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is a pioneer
citizen Of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that of any citizen Of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMIllen has fol-
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same Vigor he COM
manded when he was young man.
He has little shop on North Wright street,
In the vicinity of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students of that institution.
About year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously i'll. For months he was
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they we're more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter
est in his case, and a reporter visited him,
TO have him relate che story.

PorIx-..Tbe Electrician,

The only attempt in the line Of comedy
drama ever made by Charles Z. Blaney
is THE Electrician" which is to open a
three days engagement at the Park to-
morrow afternoon. This play was seen here
last season, when it drew large audiences
and interested them, not only because it is
cleverly constructed, but also contains
many unusual features, the principal one of
which is the scene of the electric light
works in Denver. Blaney's name has been
altogether associated in the past with such
farce-comedies as "A Railroad Ticket" "A
Baggage Check" "A Hired Girl" etc, and
the fact that he could write a drama was
never really demonstrated until last season.
This year he procured Joseph j. Bowling as
his star. Bowling has not been seen here
since he put on Captain Herne'' six years
ago. AT the Park he is better remembered
from his association with Sadie Hasson in
Border dramas. He is fine marksman and
saloon scene of his ability in this line. The
Electrician" tells a story of Tom Edson o
young and ambitious fellow who has built
an electric light plant for the city of Dem
YER, having been aided financially by the
daughter of banker He is in love with
this girl, who is also loved by the cashier
of the bank. This cashier tries 10 wreck

begin but is prevented by Toms father

now, bright-eyed, simmer and looking
younger than she has in years. She talks
makes 1t seem certain that the American
stage has permanently lost one of its most
popular actresses.
Although still far from slender, May Irwin
has got rid of so much flesh that she seems
ten years younger, writes Hilary Bell in the
Press. The change is of benefit to her ap-
pearance, but is of no aid to her art for
in former times the jokes which this actress
made about her circumambience were the
merTiest diversions Of her audience. Fat is
fatal in an actor, but in an actress 1t is no
hindrance to good humor. Lillian Russell
now tips the beam at $50 pounds yet none
OF her admirers has objected to her rounded
curves. Amelia Summerville has increased
in beauty as she diminished in flesh vet
she is not so successful in her business al
present as when she weighed an even 200
as the Merry Little Mountain Maid. Fanny
Davenport came to her death, it is said,
through the vigorous process of banting,
and certainly she had no such prosperity as
thin player as she won when plump in
contour Last season May Irwin had only
to appear on the scene to create laughter.
This year her figure is no longer comical
and she has to work hard in order to arouse
the m1rth Of the spectators. Yet it is writ
ten in the annals of the stage that no act
resS great in size ever achieved greatness,
and probably May Irwin, realizing this,
keeps her flesh down in order to keep her
fame up. The thin, nervous woman is the
woman who wins renown in dramatic art.
Sarah Bernhardt's slenderness has long
been theme for the wits. Eleonora Duse
is a rack of bones, Nine. Rejane is slender.
Jane Hading has the figure of yOdng girl,
Ellen Terry is devoid of fat, Julia Arthur
and Julia Marlowe are thin women, Maud
Adams is emaciated and Annie Russell is
first cousin to the living skeleton, Minnie
Madden is nothing but skin and bones and
genius and Mrs. Leslie Carter and Mrs.
Cora Potter are diaphanous, Viola Allen,
although not thin, is slender, and Jessie
Millward, her successor as leading woman
of the Empire, is by no means plump. Marie
Burroughs is thin, and thin also is Effie
Shannon. So long as she kept her figure,
Georgia Cayvan remained in high favor at
the Lyceum, but when she took no flesh
and showed it in '"Ihe Amazons," trouble
awaited her. Virginia Harmed has a we'll
rounded form, but she is married to Mr..
Sothern, and in order to enjoy him we must
accept her If she were double the weight.
Richard Mansfield always insists on thin
leading women. His various opposites,
tombstone Bennett. Emma Sheridan,
Beatrice Cameron and now Margaret
Anglin, are sylphs. Ada Rehan is our only
star actress who has the courage to put on
flesh, yet in this freedom she is fortified by
the example of Mrs. Kendall, who weighs
$50 and is not ashamed of an ounce of it.

Empire--"City sports"

The "City Sports" which comes to the
Empire tomorrow afternoon to remain a
week, is one of the best-knoVn and best
liked of that theaters attractions. Man
ager Phil Sheridan has retained Harry
Stewart, who as Barney Levi last year, set
the house in a roar of laughter on his en-
trance merely by the way he sat in the
center of the stage and sized up his sur
roundings. All through the opening bur
lesque Stewart proved himself the most
unctuous and characteristic Hebrew ever
seen here. OF Charles Clark, who has an
Irish part, the Eastern press speaks highly.
CrisSie Sheridan has a voluble feminine
part, and Stewart plays the character Of
key Rosenfelt The olio is mainly new
but well recommended. 1t includes the
Monte Myro troupe of European acrobats,
whose work runs from dancing to trick
pantomime; A. G. Lawrence, in limitations
and ventriloquism; Joe Farnum and Line
Nelson, in tumbling and other acrobatics;
Josie lie Coy and Flossie Gaylor, singing
soubrettes; Stewart and Whitelaw, as the
German and the Ceit;" Scanlon and
Stevens, refined comedy, and Miss Ruth
Beecher, the American nightingale in pa
triotic and other songs. Two burlesques are
given, of which the scenery, costumes
choruses and specialtieS are said to be quite
up to the high standard of last seasons per-
torrance. Matinees will be given daily.
