OiIB Df.l-''t &c
Not infrequently in the theatrical histo-
~ Of The world actors have originally
achieved their regulations by primary
strokes of genius so great that in their
later efforts they have never been able to
reach the heights originally climbed. This
has been the case with some of the great
ct players the world has ever known
men and women who have died and have
been remembered for but single imperson-
alions. Oddly enough, when the magnitude
of his first triumph is remembered, the
condition has not held good with Richard
Mansfield. who will be seen tomorrow
evening at the Columbia in Rostands
'Cyrano de Bargerac.''
When the actor first appeared as Baron
Chevrial in "A Partisan Romance" and
literally leaped into fame in solitary night
there were found plenty OF people who
were willing to prophcsy that the role Of
the unfortunate roue would be his final as
well as his initial, success. Despite these
gloomy forbodings but little time had
passed after that production when Mr.
Mansfield once more came to the front and
stalled the country with his work in "Dr.
JeEyil and Mr.. Hyde" This marvellous
portrayal stamped the star as an artist
ard when in quick succession followed his
Beau Brummel," prince Karl. Rich
ard ILL.," and like presentations, critics and
public awakened TO the iact lnat the man
whom they admired for two creations was
not a creature of circumstance but truly
great actor by right Of work and talent.
But perhaps even Mr. Mansields best
friends nsyer expected him to follow these
triumphs with one so much greater than
the rest combined that they would be a
but forgotten. And this is exactly what
has happened in the Offering of ''Cyrano
de Bergerac." Handicapped as an iMdivid-
ual by such background as never Ameri-
can player had before Air. Mansfield has
made an impression and created d stand
ard that will not be lost, though it may
never again be approached. This has
proven the climax Of all efforts and by it
the star has not only been placed in the
zenith but he has been placed there alone.
His advent in Washington is the unGoubt-
ed event of the theatrical season and the
enormous sale OF seats noted at the Co
lVmbia shows how clearly the local pub ic
realizes and appreciates that fact

SMOKELESS LOCOMOTIVES
The big Fellow has Been Hauling the

The big Fellow has Been Hauling the
Empire State on Part Of it's Run.
New York Sun: The locomotive which
was Invented by George S. Strong and
designed by ]. w. Beach, both of this
city, some time ago. and which has
been running now for about a year in
various parts os the country. is at pres
ent undergoing 4 test on the New York
Central railroad. The principal object
of the test here. 1t is understood. Is to
ascertain to what degrees the new en-
gne Is smokeless. The engine attracts
| attention by reason Of Its great size
and the fact that 1t has two cabs, one
for the engineer and another. farther
back, for the fireman. The cab roofs
| are as high rs the car roofs. The en-
CINE Is 500 designed that most Of the
smoke OF the fires Is consumed before
reaching the stack. = There are two
flreboxes. and the length OF the locomo-
tive gives a distance Of about ten feet
In which the gases of combustion are to
be consumed before reaching the out
lets. When the stack does smoke. the
smoke is unlike that OF the ordinary To-
cOmotive. There Is comparatively lit
tie of it and 1t resembles n cloud Of es-
Gaping steam. being nearly white.
One OF the points about the new en-
CINE noted by railroad men Is the little
noise It makes. riley hear It's bell Of
ten before thay hear the rumble Of 1t.
This Is due to the stability of the en-
gine. 1t does not pound the track. 1t
Is asserted. as the ordinary engine does,
because tbs better balanced. The de-
sIgner says thaothe pounding Of the or
binary locomotive is due to the excess
slve cOunterbalarce required to over
come thevibration of the engine which
would tend TO jolt the cars of the train.
whereas the new engine requires no
counterbalnnce. balancing itself by rea-
son OF compound cylinders, the sets of
! connecting machinery outside and in
side working In opposite directions. The
effect OF Observation-Disclosures in the 10
connective of the usual type Is that the
locomotive Jumps into the air contlnu-
ally pounding the rails when IT comes
down, whereas he new engine keeps to
the rails and rides as smoothly at sixty
miles an hour as ut twenty miles. \
seat in the cab Is certainly more COM
Portable at ordinary speed that one In
the cab OF one of the old-time engines.
The Strong locomotive has been run
ming on the Central for about fort
night. Mr.. strong ana Mr.. Beach, with
n crew OF their own and one of the Gen.
trail Company's are with 1t. It is ex-
pected that the officers Of the road will
make n trip within 4 few days. The
engine has been hauling local trains,
and also the Southeastern limited up to
Albany and the Empire State express
down from there. 1t has recently been
running on the Pennsylvania road be-
tween Harrisburg and Altoona.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. March H.
Ex-Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
n. B. Scott yesterday received his re-
lease from all financial obligations to
crrthe government. This was the result
moi the work Of n special committee, APP
tgpointed by the secretary of the treas
,ury, to count the stamps and balance
the books in the Internal revenue bu-
nreau. After two weeks OF constant
,p%ork. the committee found that the fac-
q counts Of the bureau balanced to n
gent.
r-q This is the most remarkable record
IN the history Of the Internal revenue
bureau. During Mr.. Scott's incum-
bency the war against Spain was de-
clared. war taxes were laid and more
money collected by the bureau than
know. In the history OF the country.
This was all in addition to the business
OF the, office on peace basis. and add
ed greatly to the burden borne by the
commissioner. Yet with all this addI-
tional work the Office was conducted
with such regularity and care that
discrepancy Of not even cent could be
found
During the official count of the mon
eys and stamps Senator Scott occupied
the private room adjoining the Office OF
the commissioner OF Internal revenue.
There were number Of matters at the
bureau still requiring his attention, and
he remained there TO be In touch with
the new commissioner. Yesterday, how
ever. he was assigned to handsome
: committee room In the capitol, and will
make that his headquarters until the
session Of Congress- ~es.,
He has selected as his private secre-
tary, John L. Steele, of Buckhannon,
Upshur! county. Mr.. Steele Is son OF
Rev. Samuel Steele. D. D.. who. ten or
fifteen years ago. was widely known
throughout the entire state His faith
er filled pulpits In all the prominent
towns and cities Of West Virginia. Mr..
Steele Is a graduate OF the State Uni
rersity. and Is newspaper man by
profession. He did his first newspaper
work on the Inteligencer, and for the
past ten years has been Washington
correspondent for Pittsburgh. New
York and Wheeling papers. West Vir-
6 ginians will find either Mr.. Scott or
his private secretary in their room, at
the capitol, at all times during the sum-
mer. and they will be glad to meet them
and do what they can to assist them.
Senator Scott has secured the appoint
ment of William H. Wnldron, of WEIGH,
Mcdowell county. as one Of the second
lieutenants in the new regular army.
The senator would have been glad to
have named First district man, but
Senator Elkins had already named Mr..
Vance. Of Clarksburg. The state was
entitled only to two lieutenancies under

partment, and 1t was thought best to Sc
