AN ACTRESS TRIUMPH.

The marchesa Capranica Del Grillo
(Ristori) was the greatest actress OF
the Italian school, not only, but she
was, as we'll, the most beautiful woman
Of her day.
Her nair was dark as night. Her won
derful eyes so large and brilliant that
bhey reflected every passion of her
dramatic soul, while her every move
ment was eloquent with natural dig
nifty that proclaimed her a queen OF
tragedy. Ia the fury of emotion she
was simply sublime.
Lige Rachel, her great rival, sae pos
sessed special art of identifying her.
self with the personages she repre-
sented whether it was the guilty
Myrrha, appalled, at her own sin, the
naughty Elizabeth, the unfortunate
Marie Antoinette, the pathetic Stuart,
the piteous Pia del Tolonei, done to
death in the poisonous Maremma, or
the di Rimini of Dante, whose con-
stancy and love comes to us from an
other world.
Who that ever saw her, at the height
of her success as Medea in a peplum of
pale blue her dark tresses floating in
clouds about her lovely classic head
her lustrous eyes flashing with fury,
her whole figure eloquent with despair,
could ever forget her as she seized the
cowardIy Jason, about to wed her rival
Creusa by the shoulders and Missed into
his ear the words" compiled siama!"
There was the Intensity of genius.
There was a look a gesture to illus
trate a whole history No syllable of
explanation was needed; all details
were therein embodied to be grasped
instantaneously by her audience.
Adelaide Ristori chow we'll I, as a
child then, recall herr may be said to
have been born upon the stage Her
parents were both actors, and her ear1i-
est triumpns were gained, when al
most a child, she represented the prin-
cipal parts Tin perambulating compan-
ies) to the great establishment of the
audience and her fellow actors.
One of the most romantic of attach,
ments broke in upon these artistic tri-
umphs, when Giuliano del Grillo, Mar
quis and Patrician of Rome, fell 'vio-
lently in love with the young actress.
His suit was opposed by both families
on account of Adelaide's extreme youth
and there is story Of his confinement
in a tower in the Maremma, and of
many moving chances by field and flood
while she was gathering fresh laurels
on the stage, further appeal to hither-
to obdurate parents and a final union
in marriage which resulted in a per-
feet, unalloyed happiness, lasting half
a century, never diminishing, never
waning in it's romantic sentiment.
For time the scenes of theatrical
triumph paled in the light of extreme
domestic bliss, but the dramatic in
stinct, the genius within her, reasserted
itself, especially when the new Mar
chesa found herself in the midst of en-
thusiastic congratulations from Lee
you've and Scribe, at the Theatre Ven
dome in Paris.
After the compliment d'usage, Le-
gouve abruptly asked:
why, Madame, will you not play
my Medea?"
It will be interesting to note here
that Medea had been written for Rachel
who, for some unexplained reason,
would not appear in it,

replied Rlstorl; I am so fond OF child
rem, that, even upon the stage it would
be utterly impossible for me to appear
to take the life of one. In Italy I have
been requested again and again to act
in Medea, but for this reason would
never consent"
But" insisted Legouve my Medea,
Madame, kills her children in a manner
which exonerates her from the crime;
besides the public sees nothing Of the
act itself"
Pardon me, dear Monsieur Legouve,
/ can never believe that the public
should not revolt at such crime"
81 assure you, Madame, it is not so
with me, only do me the honor to read
my play, and you will become con-
WINGED"
81 should be sorry" returned the
Marchesa, Ito be so wanting in cour-
tesy as to refuse to do so, but you
must be persuaded beforehand of my
inability to add Medea to my roper
toire."
VERY we'll, Madame, read my play;
it is all l ask
Ristori attached to this conversation
so little importance, and so convinced
was she that nothing would induce her
to appear to kill two children upon the
stage. that she carelessly took up the
manuscript one day while her maid was
brushing her hair, and so great was her
surprise at Legouves treatment Of the
subject, that she found herself gesticu~
Iating and declaiming as if acting it
upon the stage
"Oh, Signora, Signora, what is the
matter?" exclaimed the cameriera lam
I hurting you SO much then?''
>'No, no, child, do not mind me, go

She discovered that Lagouve had
managed to make the murder appear a
necessity. Prosecuted by the Corin-
thians who desired to give Jason S
children to his new Greek wife, Creusa,
Medea places them upon the altar Of
the Internal god, and, to save them
from violence sacrifices them and also
herself.
Ristorf was fascinated by the treat
ment OF the subject, and not only de-
cided to present it in Paris, but it
became one of her greatest successes,
perhaps her greatest, because, in part
Of such sustained passion, all poesibil-
ity of conventionality was, perforce, ex-
cluded. -.
In 1857 R1stori was playing in Madrid
at the Zarguelo theatre. The play was

Ristori seemed turned to stone.

asked.

Archbishop Chapelle, who recently
left Manila, accompanied by several
friars, for the northern districts of
Luzon under conditions that aroused
the suspicious of the Filipinos here
that he intended to establish the friars
in parishes there, was warmly well
coined on his arrival at Dagupan. As
two years have elapsed since an OPP
portunity for baptism has been pre-
scented, more than $500 persons have
been captized.
In view of the protest of the parish
against the appointment of a friar as
priest, the archbishop did not attempt
to make it.

INTERESTING STATEMENTS
Made by Prince HOhenIohe Regard
ing His Resignation.

BERLIN, October 28.-Prince Hohen-
lobe, in conversation with a represen-
tative of the Associated Press, made
some interesting statements regarding
his resignation of the chancellorship.
Although expressing himself with
great caution, he cited as the principal
reason for resigning the fact that he
had noticed for some time a growing
desire to ignore him on important oc-
casions. He admitted that his increas-
ing deafness, especially in the left ear,
had made it annoying for Emperor
William to converse with him.
While Prince Hohenlohe would not
say precisely what very recent occa-
sion had particularly emphasized this
inclination to ignore him, he asserted
that this was the immediate cause Of
his going to Homburg with a written
request to ~relinquish his official bur-
dens. This, he said, ne presented in
person to Emperor William, who
seemed astonished, but replied that, in
view of the advanced age of the Prince,
he would not urge him to reconsider
the resignation. 1t also appears that
his parting with the Kaiser was af-
f%ectionate and that both remain on
good terms. When Prince Hohenlohe
returns to Berlin for the winter he
intends to frequent the court and its
festivities, his physicians having urged
him to this course, as they consider
that the total absence of excitement
would endanger his life.
He is about to go to his ancestral
home at Schillingsfuerst. Later he will
go to Munich, and then to Meran, in
the Austrian Tyrol, or to Italy, where
he hopes to get relief from an annoying
cough.

AN EXPLANATION
Of the Cause of the Trouble Between
Venezuela and the OrinocO Com

Of the Cause of the Trouble Between
Venezuela and the Orinoco Conn
pany.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, October 2S.-
Hon. Frank B. LOOMS, minister to
Venezuela, is here, visiting at the home
of Mrs. LOOMS, and will remain until
the latter part of next month.
Referring to a despatch from Mime
apolis, in which it was stated by an
employee of the Orinoco Company that
a concession conveying the right of
that corporation to exploit ten million
acres of land in Venezuela, had been
annulled through the failure of the
American legation to protest against
hostile action on the part OF the Vene-
zuelan government, Francis B.. Loomis
said tonight:
IAN official of the Orinoco Company
who has criticised the American lega-
ton at Caracas, is under a misappre-
tension as to the usages sanctioned by
international law and the functions of
ulplOuldllC OIllCClS. AO OuOi ~
tween the Orinoco Company and the
government arises from disputes as to
the construction of a contract. There
can be no action. on the part of the I'm
tied States legation in ~contractual
claims until a denial of justice in the
courts of that country has been made.
This affair of the Orinoco Company has
never, in any way, been brought to the
attention of the legation and when 1t
shall be properly presented, no proper
effort will be spared to secure every
just and legal advantage for the com
pany. There has never been a time In
the history Of the United States when
the legitimate interests of Americans
abroad were more z%ealous1y and effect
lively watched and guarded than they
have been during the last three years"
