A to play part which is entirely A.new to them. On such oeoa- A sions they perform truly extra ordinary feats of memorizing. Almost all the well-known actors now playing in New York have been obliged to memorize parts with a rapidity which seems marvellous.
 My first appearance on the stage" said William H. Crane yesterday, was due to my retentive memory, and curious chance event 1t was. l was playing with some boys on the Boston Common one day when another boy, whom I did not know. came along. m an actor said he. Well. I can sing" said I, for I had the beginning of what promised to develop into fair bass voice. Come along, said the boy; let my mother hear you
 He turned out to be son of the Hol- mans, who were at the head of the Hol- man Opera Company, and as the result of my chance acquaintance with him I was apprenticed to his parents for the munificent sum of nothing per week.
 T used to hang around in the wings and watch the performances, chafing because I didn't get chance to go on myself At last, one night before the performance of Weber's opera Der Freischutz,' the singer who played Cas- par was suddenly taken i'll. I had never seen a line of the music of the dialogue of the part, but I knew it all by ear and memory from hearing it from the wings. l volunteered, went on, got through first rate, and that was the beginning of my stage career.
 Tn the old days when I was playing in stock companies I was great hand at what actors call 'winging' part. An instance in my own experience will ex- plain the term. David Garrick was announced for a performance at Mo Vicker's Theater, Chicago. When reached the theater in the evening found that the actor who was playing Squire Chivvey hadn't turned up. l didn't know a line of the part. but as I was known to be quick study I was asked to fill the breach. Before the curtain went up I had 'gobbled' the lines of the first act. Standi-- g in the wings I'd glance over the lines before going on. The second act l studied during the intermission and got a re- call for the drunken scene at the end of the act During the next intermis- sion I learned the third act, not one line of which I had read when the cur tain went up on the first.
 "In those days there was no question about an actor jumping in at the last moment and either 'winging' or 'swal- lowing a part. It wasn't question of can but of must I was known as a terrific 'swallower. I swallowed the part of Hector in Led Astray,' a part consisting of sixty-four closely written lengths Gas we call pages), in a day. It's curious fact, however. that the longer a play Is on the more there Is to do for the prompter. The first week or two of new play hardly | any prompting Is required. After a while. though. we have to have a prompter in either wing Somehow much repetition seems to make the act or careless. He let's his mind stray from the role. drops a line here and there. and can't pick 1t up without the 1 prompters aid.'

 whose fate has puzzled the whole country, when the body of James Stevenson, her father, was laid in its grave, he having succumbed to the terrible mental strain of the un- certainty of the fate of his daughter and died of a broken heart, which az gravated his bodily ills.
 In spite of the fact that nearly a year has passed since Boston was startled by the announcement of the disappear ance, not one single clew to her fate has been unearthed, and the mystery remains as profound as ever.
 After ten months time the police and the members of the family alike agree that they are powerless to solve the riddle, and the case bids fair to go down in history as one of the most re- markable of the few important com plete disappearances on record. The entire country has been secured by de- tectives, a thousand clews have been run down in vain, money has been spent without stint and rewards of fered by the thousand, but all to no purpose.
 Not only can Grace Stevenson not be found but, unlike all other cases, the police have been utterly unable to trace her a single step after she left her home. It is as if she had dropped out of existence.
 The last faint hope perished this week xrh of fot failed to bring the missing girl to the grave or to bring any message from her telling whether she was alive or dead.
 Many of her friends think that this is sufficient reason to give her up for dead, while others still cherish a hope that she may be living but forcibly prevented from communicating with her family
 James Stevenson died Sunday at the Old Point Comfort Hotel, Old Point Comfort, Va, and the body was at once brought here. The last words of the dying man were of his daughter, and death had no sting so bitter as the thought that he must die without knowing his child's fate.
 It remained for death alone to patch Up the family dissensions In the Stew enson family, the troubles which some people still think caused the voluntary flight of Grace from the paternal roof, which was made so unhappy for her because of the arrangement of her father and mother.
 For years Mir. Stevenson had not lived in the family mansion at Brook line. but kept bachelor hall at the Clarendon Hotel, of which hostelry he not long ago became the proprietor. All efforts at reconciliation were in vain, and Grace was the only connect ing link between the two factions of the divided household. She alone of all the family still showed any affection for her father. her brothers all siding with the mother and declining to even visit their father. Then when she dis appeared and MT. Stevenson could not find any trace of her the shock was too much and nature gave way under the terrible strain.
 But death healed the breach, and

the sound, has long been prac-
 ticed by physicians as a method of diagnosis. By placing the hand over one ,of the internal organs and tapping on it with the knuckles of the other hand, they could form some idea from the sound of the condition of the organ beneath.
 If the organ is compact, like the liver, the heart, or a bone, the sound is dull and if it is light and full of gas, like the lungs and the stomach, the sound is sonorous. An organ that is sonorous in it's normal state gives a dull sound when it is diseased, the lungs becoming dull as they are at- tackled by pneumonia; and vice versa.
 Of course these differences in the sound are extremely slight, and 1t has hitherto required much experience to interpret them correctly. But, thanks to the recent invention of Doctors Bi- anchi and Bazzi of the University of Parma, the newly fledged medico may diagnose the conditions of the internal organs with as great precision as that veteran physician has acquired in years of practice.
 These two physicians have solved the problem of accurately collecting and
