Couldock's company was once harm

Petersburg. and the play was "The
Chimney Corner" All through tho au-
dience sat In distressing silence, neither
laughing nor shedding tear. although
'The Chimney Corner" nbounda with
humOr and pathos and the company
then producing II was of great merit
for those times. Couldock appeared to
pay no attention 10 the apathy of his
audience until just nt the close OF the
performance. The concluding lines Of
the play are somewhat to this effect:
you. John. are happy. and ~ arc you.
ellen; 30 am I, aud no are we all. Let
US hope that our friends the public
share our happiness"
But, TO the surprise OF everybody,
Couldock fell Into towering passion
when he reached these lines, and In
laundering tones he said. "You. John.
are happy. and no are you, Ellen: 90

James j. HIS Plans.

James J. Hill, president OF the Great
Northern Railroad, was in Chicago yes
terday, comforting with President Harris,
of the Burlington, and with other railroad
men and financiers. Mr.. Hill said there
were no radical plans for the merger of
the three syndicates-the Burlington, the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific
but that the properties would be operated
conservatively and economically in a way
to produce the greatest revenue. There is
little doubt that the three lines will soon
be put under "A traffic dictatorship similar
to the plan followed by the Southern,
Union Pacific and other roads of the Har-
riman syndicate. Mr.. Hill said he was not
lighting the Hartman people, and that
all the recent reports about extensions of
the Great Northern into Nebraska and
Kansas was rubbish. The Burlington-Mor-
gan-HiH line has an extensive system of
roads through the States named, and eX-
tensions by the Great Northern would be
antagonistic TO a system under the same
ownership.
