A REALISTIC ACT.
An Amusing Story OF Jefferson as
Rip Van Winkle.

Rip Van WinE1e.
. While he was playing Rip Van
Winkle at Chicago Jefferson once
went to the theater very much exhaust
ed by long days fishing On the lake.
AS the curtain rose en- the third act it
disclosed the white haired Rip still deep
in his 20 years nap. Five, 10, 20 min
utes passed and be did not awaken. The
audience began to get impatient and
the prompter uneasy.
The great actor doubtless knew what
be was about, but this was carrying the
realistic business too far. The fact was
that all this time jefferson was really
sleeping the sleep Of the just, or rather
Of the fisherman who bad sat eight
hours in the sun. Finally the gallery
became uproarious, and one of the
"gods'' wanted to know if there was
going to be "19 years more of this
snooze business!"
At this point Jefferson began to
snore. This decided the pronpter, who
opened a small trap beneath the stage
and began to prod Rip from below. The
tagged comedian fumbled in his pocket
for an imaginary railway ticket and
muttered drowsily, "Going right
through, 'ductor."
At this entirely new reading the au-
dienoe was transixed with amazement.
when all at once Jefferson sat up with
loud shrek, evidently in agony. The
exasperated prompter had "jabbed'
him with pin. Consciousness of the
situation came to him and the play
went on after that with rush. -Phila.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE PENDING

New YORK, Aug. 29.-The Herald
says: From semi official sources it is
learned that deal is pending in Wall
street whereby the Illinois Central may
get control of the Minneapolis and st.
Louis railroad. -
Negotiations to this end are said to
have been under way for some time be-
tween the Hartman Fish interests,
representing the Illinois Central. and
President Edwin r. Hawley, repre-
senting the present control Of the Min
neapolis and ST. Louis No definite
agreement has yet been reached. but
Wall street interests having knowledge
of the situation say that in any event
traffic alliance will be effected and
that
Change of Control
will probably be brought about. A su-
perfcial glance at the maps indicating
the geographical positions of the two
properties, shows that such a deal
would be greatly to the advantage of
both roads. The Illinois Central would
be given access to territory rich in
traffic, which it does not touch would
get fine terminals in Minnesota's twin
cities. Minneapolis and st. Paul, and
would have practically through line
from Duluth to the Gulf of Mexico.
Railroad men agree the Minneapolis
and St. Louis has terminal facilities
the equal Of any in st. Paul and the
best in Minneapolis
Scheme of EXPANSION
President Stuyvesant Fish and E. H.
Hartman, who are controlling factors
in Illinois Central affairs, have been
carrying out scheme OF expansion fo1
some time past First the Illinois Cen.
tral acquired the Mississippi and Yazoc
Valley lines. Then followed the pur.
chase af the Chesapeake. Ohio and
South western, running from Memphis
to Louisville. The extension of the
Dubuque and Sioux City road into
Omaha. which will be completed this
fall, was the next undertaking
Now comes the proposition to gain an
entrance into St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Through lines already in operation, the
system would then extend to the head
Of Lake Superior, thus giving an un-
broken line from Duluth to New Or

. LONDON, Aug. 2g.-Upon authority
of undoubted reliability, reporter of
the Associated Press has ascertained
inst into the Alaska dispute there has
scrept the craftiness Of Russian diplo-
macy. Russia, it can be stated, will do
everything, with every possible energy,
to prevent the practical cohesion of the
two great English-sp nations. In
all European embassies instructions
have been received to thwart the Amer
ican und derstanding.
A prominent diplomat who is inti-
mately acquainted with the details Of
the negotiations for the past two years.
said to the reporter Of the Associated
Press:
In any arrangement looking to a
working agreement between England
and the United States, Russia sees the
defeat of her dearest projects. / believe
her intense activity in China is to no
small extent due to her fear that Anglo
Saxon power, once centralized, will
sweep all before it in the far East.
Dreading rapid realization of this night
mare she is making hay while the sun
shines, and in the meanwhile intriguing
to the utmost to tie the hands of those
who are working to materialize Anglo
American sentiment. The latest evi-
dence of this is in the Alaska affair.
Though, strictly speaking, it is a mat
ter OF international politics and would
have been settled long ago if left solely
to Great Britain and the United States,
Russia has managed to suggest motives
never dreamed of by America, by dis.
torting facts. It has been impossible
for me to divulge exactly how or to
what extent Russia got her paws into
the dispute. But the attitude of he,
press, official to the core, is quite suf-
fclent to show her motives" -z
