WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
NAV Irwin and Her viii

Despite all her fun and jollity, May
Irwin. who comes to the Opera House
on next Monday night, has a very de-
cided will of her own. as she proved
during her last engagement in this city
She arrived at the Opera House at
about 715 o'clock and found that the
stage was not cleared as she wanted it,
Manager Baylis was busy in the box
office, and in response TO a message
from the buxom star. said that he could
not go to her at that time.
ThereupOn she sat herself down in
the centre of the stage and vowed that
she would not move until she saw the
manager. She was entreated, begged
and persuaded in vain, and there she
sat in the middle of the stage, immov-
able and Interchangeable as the laws of
the Medes and Persians, until finally
Mr. Baylis yielded TO the opportunities
of Miss Irwin's stage manager to go TO
the determined exponent of mirtb and
melody.
She declared to Mr.. Baylis that il
would be impossible for the curtain to
go up before o'clock, and was highly
indignant that the stage was not as she
had expected TO find it. Mr.. Baylis told
her it would take only short time for
her scenery to be set, and, in fact, that
nhe stage would be ready as soon as she
would. and told her to go on to her
dressing room and make ready.
Probably the humOr Of the situation
struck her, for she laughed and said:
Well. if the stage is ready by the time
| am, I'll stand treat"
And She did. for the curtain rolled
up on time, and everything went merry
as a wedding bell.

uNnEAaoNAaLE DEPOSITION

Our morning contemporary publishes
the following as coming from a city of
fetal relative to the proposed elevated
railroad through this city:
There is little or mo difference be-
TWEEN the railroad company and the
department that cannot be adjusted
soon The matter of closing streets
is the serious question. Should GER
tain ground be built upon between the
property OF the company and The river
front it would be a great hardship to
compel people TO walk eight blocks
either one way or the other. to find an
open thorOughiare. The department
asks that at least two streets be left
open. and il offers to pay One4haif OF
THE expenses of building an overhead
crossing when the time comes TO make
tine improvement ! believe The COM
pany will see the justice of This posi-
tion and grant the concession.
One naturally would suppose from
this that il lis the purpose of THE rail
road company to cut of certain streets.
This is not the case. There are no
streets open north OF Vandever ave
nue. In fact, Vandever avenue is not
open to the railroad. but the railroad
company has agreed TO open Vandever
avenue across its right of way; to open
and grade Railroad avenue up to Van
dever avenue from the old marsh road.
and to build an iron or steel bridge.
with clearance of at least thirteen
feet at Vandever avenue. when so ex-
tended along its present lines, without
amy cost to the city North of Vande-
yer avenue and east OF the railroad
the railroad company owns the land
over TO and beyond the Shellpot cut
off. Here it is proposed to build the
new shops, where there will be hum
dreds of tracks. The company does
not want streets opened across these
tracks. and as IL owns the land, there
is no one else to insist upon this bene
done. Beyond the high land Of tho
company is marsh, ample access tc
which wiz be furnished by Vandevei
avenue when extended.
Besides the railroad company can.
not prevent THE opening OF streets. II
their opening be desired. The city
charter provides for condemning prop.
erty and opening streets, even through
private dwellings,. As we understand
Mr.. Pugh's letter, all the company de
sires is for commission to go upon
the land and determine whether such
streets shall be opened, and the com.
pany be given a hearing as to the de
sirability OF opening such streets. nhi.
seems to be fair. But the Street ant
Sewer Commissioners want to be giver
the right to cross the elevated strlic
tre north OF Vandever avenue. under
over or at grade, at any time and amy
where, and they are to be the soil
judges of when, where and how the,
are TO cross No matter If eyeryon,
outside of themselves should be op
posed to such crossings, they and the,
alone. want TO determine this matte
without adopting the usual course o
the Intervention OF a commission. w
repeat, there is now ample law TO
opening streets anywhere Within th
city limits, at any time, and Mr.. Pug
agrees in his letter That the compan
will pay half the expense OF any s,sc
undergrade bridges across street
that hereafter may be opened north {

From New Orleans Times Democrat
The more closely Mr.. McKinley's life
is studied the clearer becomes the truth
that he was a man of the people He
was born and reared among them. He
was keenly sympathetic with the hu-
man things OF life. He was patiently
tolerant with the frailties OF human
nature He ruled his conduct by prln-
ciples and purposes and hopes and
emotions that were essentially pOpu-
lar because they were intensely human.
In building a memorial in honor Of
such man the American people will,
in fact. be fashioning in enduring form
the ideas of thought Of conduct, and of
taste that give purpose and momentum
TO American life. Let us then con-
tribute to this worthy causel Let each
of us give OF what he has to honor him
who gave his life in the service OF the
nation. and who regretted not that he
gave it,
