Being an Actress.

Philadelphia Times.
What a number of girls there are who
wish to be actresses. Ninety-nine out Of
every hundred are absolutely destitute OF
talent in that direction. 1t is the desire for
dress, publicity, notoriety. admiration, any
thing but the hard working life of the real
actress. A vain girl who takes this notion
into her head never stops to think Of the
study. the long hours of rehearsal. the
hasty packing and moving on from day TO
day. She never thinks about the morning
arrival in a country town after night of
travel, rehearsal, perhaps, and then the
evening performance. Then follows the hur-
ried pack up and off for the train to the
next town; little sleep poor food and the
many inconvenience of being constantly
on the move. girl goes to fine city thea
ter, sees a star actress in the richest OF
clothes, applauded. shOwered with flowers,
and she longs to be an actress. She wants to
do Just what she has seen done and many
a one thinks If she had on the gown and
stood upon the stage she could be Neither
sole herself. When a girl is taken with
the acting fever she should at once put her
self in the hands of capable judges and
abide by their decision. 1t takes such people
but a short time TO know if she has posi-
bilities. and If she shows no talent let her
give il up at once. If she has the talent IL
will easily be discovered and then she may
90 forward with some hope OF success. But
even tnen she must not neglect 10 NoTh'
and work means beginning at the bottom
of the ladder and working upward.
1t is often made objection to girl
going upon the stage that she may become
immoral. A girl may be correct and
moral on the stage as off. Still II is not a
good place for a young girl alone There is
a certain familiarity between the sexes that
is unavoidable, a familiarity that a girl is
better for not meeting. Then there are al
ways women about a theater that are not
good companions for a young girl. Not that
there more there than elsewhere, but
they come more or less in contact and the
association is not good / have heard people
assert that there many more scam
dals and divorces among stage people than
other classes. I do not think so. 1t is only
that they much before the public
that all their actions are known TO the pub
lie, when people in obscure life may create
scandals and get divorces without getting
nOtOriety, for the reason that the public is
not interested in what they do. Mary An
derson is a living instance of what a pure
life an actress may lead. but she was sur
rounded by her family through her whole
stage career and was naturally reserved
and modest. Unless you have genius or
talent. let the stage alone; it will only bring
you disappointment

Blocks the Sidewalk.

Almost every day the sidewalk in front
OF Pearson,s Plano House Is partially
blocked by piano boxes which contain pia-
nos, that are either being received from
the factories or loaded on the wagons to be
delivered 20 customers.
Officer Mack McGuff called there and said
that complaint had been made against the
continued obstruction. Mr. Pearson informed
the orlcer that he very much regretted that
the eXlgencies or business caused him TO
unintentionally impede the free passage of
the people, and that he would try TO devise
some plan To avoid il.

GEN. LEES VIEWS ON CUBA.

A dispatch from Washington, says
In an interview since his return to the
United States General Fltzhugh Lee
sad the pledge of this government to
grant Cuban independence would be
made good as soon as practicable, but
he did not indicate any period when
this should be done. He said the Gu
bans were doing well, but iutimated
there we're certain elements of unrest
which might cause conflict if American
authority was withdrawn. He thought,
therefore, the United States should
continue its protection OF life and prop
erty until satisfied safety and security
were certain.
The President was much inter-
ested in General Lee opinions,
aud it is understood he will take
the position outlined by the General.
La his trip to Richmond the
President saw General Lee for the first
time since the latter's return from
Cuba, and Mr.. Mckinley made it a
point frankly and unreservedly to thank
nim for his sentiments. The President
agreed with him in every particular
and assured him the pledge to grant in.
dependence to the island should be
fulfilled just as soon as the United
States had reason to believe the with
drawal of American troops would be
to the interest of the Cuban people.
The President thinks The prosperity
of the island is the main thing to keep
in view. He earnestly commended
General Lee for believing military pro-
lection should be continued there until
the Cubans should demonstrate their
willingness to respect law, maintain
order and their capacity to conduct a
stable government of their own.
The President is particularly grati6ed
that General Lee has changed the opin-
on formally entertained by him, that
tle United States troops should i'm.
lnediately leave Cuba, and that be now
concurs in the view of the administra.
ton that the racial and political preju.
dices still existing in the island are too
great to permit the Cubans to be left
TO themselves.
The President said to an intimate
friend here today, whose sympathies
nave always been strongly with the
Cubans in their struggle for independ
ence; II hope you will read, if you
have not already, General Lees inter-
view on Cuba II is strong and thought
full. As you read it, want you to
keep in mind just one sentence of his which
gives the key to the situation there. 1t is
this: The right to live, to acquire and to
keep what is honestly acquired must be re.
cognized throughout Cuba as fixed, if the
great resources of the island are to Develop"
The President may not make any recon-
tnendatioD to Congress on the Cuban question
ia his message to Congress but he will EN-
phssize certain facts covered by General Lees
interview which will enable members of
Congress and people generally throughout
the country to understand accurately and
thoroughly the present condition of Cuba.

Ready to Yield.

London, Nov. 3.-Your correspon-
dent this afternoon received the follow
ing written statement, addressed to the
United States from the highest Filipino
authority in Europe. 1t says:
1.-THE FilipiDos are prepared to agree,
first, to fully meet ami assist the United
States in carrying out the promise maize
to Spain in the treaty of peace, with
reference to stable government in the
Philippines.
Second. The Filipinos will accept
an American protectorate with gov
ernment similar to that of Canada until
the greater measure of self government
is permissible.
"Third. The United States to have
every facility which the islands offer as
base OF political and commercial OPP
erations.
"Fourth. Americans to have all the
privileges OF native Fiipinos.
Fifth. A mixed commission to be
appointed to decide whether all or any
of the indemnity paid to Spain for the
islands shall be q charge upon the Phil
ippines."
The document concludes: "Under
these conditions, subject to modiica.
lions made by mutual consent. we are
prepared to yield formal submission to
the United States which is not deroga-
tory to the dignity or honor of our
arms" The document is absolutely
authentic.
