MAUDE ADAMS TO
ENTER A CONVENT

Maude Adams is on her way to a con-
vent. She doesn't intend to renounce
the stage and the bright sunny world
for the rest of her life, but she proposes
to stay in little retreat in France long
enough to regain her physical and spir
itual strength.
Miss Adams became imbued with this
desire when playing "LAiglon." She
wanted to know more about the French
people and also their language.
AS soon as her season closed she pre-
pared for a trip to France, and sailed
on the American line steamship St.
Louis.
She was very demure about it ALL and
when she reached the steamer hid her.

anyone except half "a dozen intimate
friends. who shed tears over the depart
ure of the actress.
1t was given out that Miss Adams
was very much in need of rest, on ac-
count of the trying work of Il, Aiglon''
and was going to take the quiet cure"
during the summer.
She refused to. name the convent to
which she was going, but if life there
is as pleasant as she thinks it will be.
she will not return to this country until
it is time to begin rehearsals for THE
Little Minister in which she is to ap.
pear next fall.

great size. The one we have mounted
was a comparatively small specimen.
We have the bones of one twenty times

Nor would we. have the room to exhibit

This specimen is mounted to show the
animal in rapid motion. There is moth

1T is interesting to note that the form
is birdlike. That will strike you at q
glance. The feet are really chicken feet

toes. The forefeet were not used in To-

THE MODERN WOMAN SEEMS TO BE
DRIVING THE BURGLAR TO THE WOODS.

The progressive tendency of the new
woman is developing a rate of speed call
culated to excite alarm.
For instance, there is the ridiculously
absurd attitude of Mrs. karcher. of
Elizabeth, N. j. When she discovered
two lone. defenceless burglars levying an
assessment u?on her humble home. she
ran them both ont of her house.
Then, with the inconsistency Of the sex,
she pursued them hot footed up the turn
pike along which they We're trying to
break the record. and, compelling them
to return, held them under duress until
the arrival of the captain of the watch.
Under the old regime. before women
got their heads full of these new tangled

pendent progression, it was the custom Of

a female householder to wave her hands
wildly, shrek at the full strength of her
lungs and gracefully fall into a faint.
while her burglarous guests sorted over
the spoons at leisure and bundled up such
of the family plate as bore a satisfactory
and convincing hall mark.
But the influence of the women's clubs
and higher culture leagues, and the ten
dency of men to assume a weak and SUI
pine attitude is working imparable harm.
1t is getting so that an honest, hard
working housebreaker can scarcely make
day wages.
Those of us who are dependent upon
burglary for livelihood and have striv-
en- to elevate it to the dignity of one of
the fine arts will ultimately be compell-
ed to confine our operations to the stock
market. The outlook is discouraging.

A THEATRICAL MANS JOKE
on ClAMMERING CREDITORS

The Farley Opera company has just
closed it's season and the members re-
late a tale of hardship during the first
few weeks of the season
Henry Mattison, who occupied the po-
sition of leading man told some of the
experiences. The Farley company was
organized in New York last October and
after three weeks preliminary re-
hearsals at Lyric Hall went forth to
tempt fate and the western territory.
1t had received fairly good reception
throughout Pennsylvania, but later
business began to fall off in Ohio and
Missouri, and but for the efforts of the
manager, Mr.. Farley. it would never
have finished the season.
II tell you what that Farley is great
man when he gets in hole" Mr.. Mat
tison said. IF it had not been for him
I guess we would have gone in the
ditch long ago. Why, we We're getting
hard usage in Missouri and in one
town, ST. Joe, think, We played a
week. The business was fearful and
didn't amount to enough to pay our
hotel bills.
We had two landlords With us-one
from Hannibal and the other from ST.
Louis. They came along to get their
money. We got into debt in St. Joe in
good shape and the creditors were clam
oring. Farley argued with them. Told
them of his hacker, who was with the
show. I posed as the hacker for this oc-
casion and he rehearsed me for two days
what I should do.

cial train. and at IL that night every
man was there with lawyer and a con-
stable.
Farley had given the truckman SO to

then took the creditors into the waiting

the time when the Saengerfest Ath-

contemplated, of Viceroy Chang Chin
Tung as a plenipotentiary in the place
of Ii Hung Chang. He thought the

concerned. the ENJOYS who know him
personally said that. while he was
strongly anti-foreign and had never
made any secret of his likes and dis
likes, they believed he would be a
satisfactory representative of the
Chinese, and there would not be any
objections to him on the score of his
recent utterances. Indeed some of
the ministers thought it would be
wise for China to make Chang Chih
