American Actress and Irish Mar
chioness Like Twins
1t is not often that two persons Lot
related by ties Of consanguinity are re-
markable for their resemblance to each
other, yet there are occasionally such
phenomena. On a recent visit to Lon.
don Miss Julia Marlowe. the American
actress, had the pleasure of meeting
her double in the person Of the mar
chioness Of DOWNSTAIRS, an Irish lady
of quality. Feature for feature the
two were exact counterparts of each
other, and a stranger to both, meeting
them together, would avow they were
twin sisters. 1t is needless to say that
both are charming women. They are
alike in height, weight and coloring.
Miss Marlowe is justly considered one
of the handsomest women on the Am
erican stage, while the marchioness of
Downshires is looked upon as one of
the most charming members Of the
Irish nobility, and, what is even more
to her credit, she is a peculiarly sweet
and accomplished woman. Before her
marriage she was Miss Hare, grand
daughter of the earl of Listowel, and
by her marriage to the eighth earl OF
DOWNSTAIRS. the Irish beauty, whosa

The postal clerks are usually located
in a small room below the berth deck
with low ceilings and narrow berths.
In this compartment the separation
racks are placed. The compartment Of
the racks are labeled with the principal
cities Of the country towards which the
vessel is bound, and it is the duty Of
the postal clerk to have all the mail
delivered to the ship upon leaving port
ready for distribution when its destina-
ton is reached. On one side of the

Of the marchioness' proudest boasts is
that her husbands family settled in Ire

glimpse of the London season, and she
is not alone conspicuous in the May

also for the fact that she rarely or never

How Mail Matter Is Taken Care of on

A work with which but few persons
are familiar is that performed by the

passage, they labor on a pitching, toss
