One Way in Which She Is
Different From Other Actresses.

Miss Adams's stage career is remarkable
for one thing. at least: 1t has never been
marked by any OF the exciting accidents
and incidents which befall the modern ac-
tress.
She has never been in any runaway, has
never been robbed, has never accomplished
heroic rescues. has never lost any pre-
cious gems. has never fallen off docks. For
tune has persistently avoided her in these
directions. 1t is extraordinary as well as
curious.
Miss Adams owns a locomobile in which
she takes the delight common to any
healthyminded young woman; yet, mar
velous to relate, 1t has never collided with
n cable car. bumped into lamp post or
run away with her.
She is extremely fond of dogs and horses.
but she has the uncommon taste-ytewed
from the ordinary theatrical standpoint-of
not taking them with her on her tours and
turning private car into menaserie.
Those who know her well declare that

still with John Drew. she made her selec-
| tion as a star Inevitable; and SO for three
| seasons she was the charming Lady Babbie
Of 1.-The Little Minister" Now she IS
LAiglon. and in many respects a better
L'Aiglon than Sarah Bernhardt herself.
Miss Adams has the faculty of making
her audience love the character she pre-
sents. She did this as Suzanne, as Dolly,
Lady Babbie: and she is doing 1t more
successfully than ever as L'Aiglon. The
Rostand drama deals with the vain ambi-
tions of weakling. who dreams Of Ma
poleonic splendor and power, and dies Of a
broken heart because he cannot realize
them. Miss Adams takes this ill-starred
youth out of the hands Of the romancer
and makes a decidedly human and heart
conquering character Of him. She impues
the role with wondrously sympathetic
force; and while she does not neglect the
dramatic phases Of the role, or the cx-
cuiste poetical touches that Rostand has
put into 1t. she emphasizes the appealing
qualities Of the boys nature and causes
one to feel keen and real interest in his
pathetic career

The picking season begins in the first
half of September and lasts from three
to five weeks, according to the size of
the crop. A good average crop is 1900
pounds to the acre, and land producing
such crop sells from $500 to $500 an

if the picker deserts or is discharged

Probably the people of the country do
not yet fully realize that the House OF
Representatives which they will elect

and will be much larger than any House
ever chosen before. In the House Of
Representatives. which was elected last
November, and which will meet next De-
cember, there are 357 members. In the
House which will be elected in 1902 there
will be 3S6 members. The ratio for rep
resentation in the House established just
after the taking of the census of 1890,
was one member for every 173,901 inhab-
itants. The ratio established under the
census of 1900, which will go into opera
ton in the election in November, 1902,
is 1914, 1872. The next House will be %
members larger than the present one. or
course, the electoral college will be en-
larged to the same extent. The electoral
vote in the canvass of 1900 was AT. The
vote in the election of 1904 will be 4T6

There seems to be an infectious iollity

The manager or Ovcrsecr of the field
passes along between the rows to see
that the picking is clean from leaves
and twigS which are either CareleSsly
dropped into the baskets or intention
ally put there to increase the weight.
The cones only are picked, and it is
surprising how expert and deft some of
the pickers are in denuding the vines
Of their valuable fruitage. 1t is a fact
attested by hop growers i'll the West
generally that Indians are the most re-
liable pickers. Their pickings are clean,
and they never attempt to make IAN

leaves or twigs into their baskets 1t
is said that the inspectors rarely think
it necessary to examine an Indians
basket for contraband.
The rough, prickly vines make it nee
eSSary for all except the hardened pick
ers to use gloves. They usually get

an average hand will make Il dollar a
day; but many pickers make more than
twice that amount.

United States to find employment. 1t
is so in the East, it is so in the West,
though the personnel of the hOp-pick-
ers varies somewhat in character &C
sording TO location. In the hop districts
in Central New York, for example,
young men and maidens from nearby
cities. and boys and girls from the
farms seek to earn a little extra money
in this way. In the older States the
after picking time at night is devoted
to merry making and practical jokes,
and other devices for driving dull care
away and tightening labor by keeping
ap the spirits.
In the West all these things are noted
plus the employment of reservation
Indians. AS hops are picked by the
pound, the earnings Of the pickers de-
pend upon their dexterity and industry.
From the countryside, from the cities
