"LlTTLE LIGHTHOUSE GIRL"
lor Who Has a Tiny Friend at savan
nah, Ga.

Sailor Jack is generally supposed to
have sweet heart waiting his arrival
in every port. but the belle of the sea
on the south Atlantic coast is 'the little
lighthouse girl who lives near the har-
Dor of Savannah THE little light
house girl is the officially accepted title
of Miss Florence Marlus, who has for
the last IL years waved friendly Sig
nal to every craft passing between the
city and the sea. 1t is the hobby of this
young girl to greet the ships that go
and wish them safe return, and greet
the ships coming and congratulate
them on their voyage. She says that
the ships are her world. She hasn't
much world outside of the marine
houses, to be sure, for she lives with
her brother and her mother on the
bleakest, most uninviting island mag
Unable on the southern bank of the Sa-
vannah river, 10 miles from town.
The Martus dwelling Is the only In
habftation on Elba island. There is TO
landing wharf, and visitors arrive on 4
average once year. George Martus
attends to the range of lights which
keep the pilots in the right part OF the
most tortuous channel in that part OF
the ocean. Beside the lighthouse is the
cottage where these three persons
spend their lives. The barks, the steam
efs, the schooners and the various other
craft never get near enough for an eX-
change of greetings other than that ex-
pressive form of good will, the waving
of a handkerchief by day and of Ian.
tern by night. And as the girl sends
out her welcome the seamen, who all
know her and who would resent the
elimination of the ceremony which she
has popularized, send back an answer
ing salute, three "toots" of the steam
whistle. Then Miss Martus is as happy
as belle at a debutante party.-Chi-

OLGA NETHERSoLE TO STUDENTS
Declares She Would Have an Actors
College AND Give Diplomas
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Il would have the state in each
country establish a school for the train
ing of actors and no one should be al
lowed to appear in public without his
diploma any more than lawyer or
doctor is permitted to practice medicine
or law without one"
So said Olga Nethersole in an address
to the Graduate club of University of
ternoon.
Miss Nethersole appeared before the
university students in perfectly fit
ting purple gown, which gave to her
hair decidedly reddish tinge The
students, banked into the amphitheater,
cheered and cheered again as she stood
a the reading desk. OF course it was
of her art she talked, yet there was
much besides to tell Of
When the actress spoke the student
spoke also, for there is perhaps no wom-
an on the stage who claims to be more
of thinker. AS Joseph jefferson once
said of Miss Nethersole:
some of us have roads made ready
Tor us to tramp along to our destinies.
You are born to make your roads Go
on making them and take my praise
it is In making the roads that she has
learned to rely upon herself
The actor is like the dramatist, he
is not born. but made she said with
the conviction of her experience. and
the plea l make for his proper train
ing is that in the end his profession may
be dignitied. l am so solicitous for my
art that | want 1t invested with every
dignity, and l pray that l may live to
see the day when tine people of Eng
land and America shall have come to
regard the stage so seriously as to COM
pei them to bring our profession into
line with the others"

home and presented with a painting
worth double. their own fortunes. He
threw gold and silver coins to children
In the park, as George Francis Train
does. He called passers-by into the
house IL their faces or manners caught
his fancy and gave them pieces of the
gold and silver family plate. He gave
a Stradivarius violin to little girl In
London whose brother he met aboard
ship.
He met persons when he was shop

gold, and asked them to accept their
choice Of the collection. He presented
Brooklyn Institute his library, one of
the finest In America. 1t comprised
$4,000 volumes.
Like most wealthy widowers, Mr..
Bell has had trouble in the form of
breach of promise suits. So great and

Durbhunga, one of the premier noble

has respectfully placed at the disposal
of Lady Curzon the splendid herd of
elephants that are among his vast pos
sessions, thus making Lady Curzon the

lordly creatures than any other woman
in the world. Her ladyship has devel-
oped great liking for the elephants,
and frequently takes advantage Of the
friendliness existing between the vice.
roy and the maharajah to ride forth on
one of the gorgeously caparisoned ele-
plants Of state.
With that happy spirit Of frank
friendliness in the company Of under
lings that only an American woman
knows how to indulge without loss of
dignity, the vicereine has made herself
the idol Of the attendants at the palace
of the Indian prince. To penetrate the
reserve of an Oriental Of high degree Is
feat that not every white man or
woman, even among the upper ten of
India, can boast Of having accomplish
ed. To be given the freedom of the
magnificent palace of his highness the
Maharajah of Durbhunga is compli-
ment even to viceroy and vicereine.
The elephants belonging to the rajah
are under the control of an old man
upwards of eighty years of age. Each
elephant rejoiced In an appellation
taken from the names Of NEUROLOGICAL
or historic heroes and 1t Is their veter-
an Keepers boast that every elephant
Is known to him by name.
The title dates back only to 1908,
when the then Maharajah Clutter
Singh was formally recognized and in
vested by the British Government. But
the origin Of the family can be traced
as far back as the reign of the En-
peror Akbar, whose lieutenants they
were in the province Of Behar.
The growing friendliness of such a
man for Lord and Lady Curzon is
viewed with pleasure by those interest
ed in the welfare of India, for II the
hearts of the native princes are with
the Queens representatives the sta
bility Of the Government is doubly as
sured. To have won so emphatic a
demonstration of regard from the
Maharajah Of Durbhunga shows that
in the future Of the great Indian en-
pire the American wife of Lord Curzon
is destined to play significant part.

The main object that James A. III.

get rid of his fortune In his own way
before he died.
There was a time, and only a few
years ago, when James A. H. Bell was
worth fully 100000. To-day he may
have 100000. He has spent and given
the rest away, principal, interest and
all. Now he has gone to Europe to get
rid of the 100000.
Mr.. Bells troubles began in quarrel
with his wife over the marriage of
their eldest son. Charles A. Bell. The
mother sided with the boy. and said he
had married good girl. This angered
Mr.. Bell, who didn't like the young
bride. He drove his son away, and

spoke. The broken-hearted mother
died few years later.
