FORTUNES OF ACTRESSES.
The Amount Accumulated by Several
WeII-Known Players.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The fortunes of actresses have always
interested the public, even if events often
proved that they were merely fictitious In
the amounts mentioned. As a matter of
fact, wealth among actresses is not al
ways TO be found where it is commonly
supposed TO exist No such picturesque
estimate of stage fortune as that which
originated in woman'S magazine has
ever been heard of. According to the au-
thority who promulgated this statement
not more than five years is required for
a successful actress to accumulate a for
tune In this latest list Mrs. Carter is
said to be worth $S3O,0QO, which, If
true, ought to be interesting to certain
livery stable keepers and dressmakers
in New York city; Viola Allen has $500
900; Julia Marlowe, $4,000; Ada Rehan,
$250000; Lillian Russell, $250, 900; Annie Rus
sell is supposed TO possess the same
amount; Addie Ritchie has $500 900; May
Irwin, $4,000; Anna Held, the same
amount; Julia Arthur 100000 and Mrs.
Fiske possesses the same.
The most successful of all the actresses
named here seems TO be Adele Richie
who was In a comic opera chorus only a
few years ago appears at irregular inter-
walls now and then for only short time
and yet has managed to save a fortune
Lillian Russell has sung rarely in a sue
cessful performance for several seasons
and manager recently estimated that her
earnings during the past two or three
years must have been slight. Last sea-
son she sang for only three months With
a fortune of $250,O00 to her credit however
she can afford to take her ease Mrs
Carriers earnings practically began two
years ago. Annie Russell has only re-
ccived large salaries of late, and IL was not
very long ago that benefit had to he
given for her Mrs. Fiske was off the
stage for term of years and ii would
have taken a phenomenal success for her
to earn 100000 since her return. The
same modest sum is credited TO JrNa Ar
thur. This is evidence that the others
must all be correct. Miss Arthur has a
husband worth several millions and is one
of the few actresses who possesses in
reality the sort of fortune generally sup
posed to be so common on the stage.

ten, how can she wisely rule acity? Ifshecannot for
mulate with her sisterhood of mistresses a working
system Of graded wages and reliable references, and
reform present conditions in the kitchens of America,
how is she going to reform the public service? If this
one question overwhelms her so that she sometimes
breaks down with nervous exhaustion, how is she
going to lift all mans burdens and smooth the ma
tons pathway? Since the earliest syllable of re-
corded time she has been struggling with servants,
and the nineteeth century finds her helpless.
There are only two ternatives-eithe the servant
question is bigger than any question which man
grapples with, or woman is less fitted to grapple
with difficult questions than man. | hardly think
that even the most daring %suffragist would choose
the first of these as a tenet of faith; yet the other
horn of the dilemma certainly is not calculated to
convince America that equal suffrage is, as it's sup

remedy for all ills l-Harper's Bazar.

Ube Servant Question.

When presumably capable women give up house
keeping and beta6e themselves to boarding because
they cannot get servants or manage them when
mistresses are palpably afraid Of their cooks, and un-
able to prevent waste and even dishonesty in the
kitchens which they hesitate to enter, although they
are their own; when half the references given are not
truthful, or at least misleading when intelligence Of
fees are the last places where an intelligent woman
expects to get satisfactory servants; when wages
grow higher while work grows ever more g~rudging
and careless, and when six months is the average
limit of a servants stay in one household, so that an
'old family servant is practically as obsolete as the
nlastodon-when all these signs show an utterly dis
organized state of affairs in woman's special realm,
it certainly does appeal to ones sense of humor to
hear the suffragists assert that the feminine vote
would straighten out all the perplexities into which
mans inability to cope with governmental problems
has plunged the nation!
If a woman cannot rule one servant, or two, or

THE JEWISH SOUTH.

Forgive me if / decline to answer that until l

can learn to love me. Unless she herself consents, /
would not desire to wed her. Until then must my
name remain a secret"
"Andi if" replied the father, impressed by the others
manner, "she accepts you, l shall not oppose the
match"
"All 1 ask is that my first interview with her shall
be under four eyes"
the long-separated lovers met cannot therefore be re
corded.
1t was a happy couple that an hour later sought
the fathers presence and a parents blessing, and
when he heard their story he did not withhold his
consent to the match.
A few days later the delighted family were sitting
down to the concluding Passover supper when the
door opened and Rheinthal, the Schadchcn, entered,
and with him came Meyer Schlegel on the tiptoe Of
expectancy.
'Shaloem Alicken," cried the Schadchen, and gut
~yomtov! Friend Gradin ky, I bring you the prom
ised son-in-1aw."
Explanations followed and Gradinsky thanked
God that the student, and not the drover, could call
him father-inlaw.
Meyer swallowed his modification as well as he
could and stayed for the feast, but the poor Schad-
chen, deprived by cruel fate Of two fat commissions,
went out into the night and desecrated the Passover
by explosives such as Pharaoh might have used when
the Lord sent the ten plaques to subdue his stubborn
heart.-Jewish Exponent.

The food from heaven on which the Israelltes
subsisted during their wanderingsi in the wilderness,

a species of Cancels Thorn (Alhagi Camelorum), all

it as an emulation from the puncture of an insect on
Tamarix mannifera. According to M Henri Chas-
trey, the substance in question is really nothing else
than the thalophyte, known to botanists as Canona
esculenta and lichen esculentus. The nomads of Sa-
