CLARA MORRlS'S DRAMATIC INSTINCT
is BEING EXPRESSED IN LITERATURE.

You remember Clara Morris. Of whom
Bernhard said when she first witnessed
her performance of Camille:
Mon Dieul This woman Is not acting;
she is suffering!'
You remember the actress who won her
way to the deepest emotions Of hearts that
are not so young to-day as they were when
she was in the zenith Of her glory.
l met her a few days ago. a gray wintry
afternoon, In her home, on the Hudson. I
had been told that she was suffering. that
she was in frequent paroxysms of pain, that
1t was with difficulty she could get up and
down stairs; in fact, 1t was a question
whether she would be able to see me at all.
Thank goodness! I find no cause to dwell
upon the dark side Of things. for 1t was not
visible in her presence. in her voice. in her
quick, sympathetic play Of features. In her
humor. in her direct simplicity of fancy
that made her art so swift a messenger of
her nature-on the stage.
A moments accurate calculation will
show you that there is no reason to imagine
that Clara Morris is too old to act. too old to
laugh. too old to feel the gov Of inspiration
that fired her audiences to the clatter Of
enthusiasm.
It is the custom in these days Of prolific
jealouSes in art to muffe the fame Of q
man or woman on the stage with fictitious
age; but Clara Morris has a clarion voice
that will not be stifed while her heart beats
true and her Imagination Is warm with the
touch OF life.

Recently compiled statistics show
chat both shippers and travellers in the
United States enjoy q lower average
rate from railroads than do those OF
any other part Of the world. The av-
erage rate per ton per mile received
by the railroads Of this country during
1893 was only 1850, and the average
rate per passenger mile was but 1.994c.
In Europe rates of both kinds are very

neers. United States Army, was
brought from the Federal prison to the
United States District Court here to
hear arguments for his release, pend
ing the appeal of his habeas corpus

to be in good health. Two physicians
offered affidavits to the effect that the
prisoner is a sufferer from neuTasthe-
MIA and if confined for any length Of
time will suffer mental collapse and
become insane. An affidavit by Car
ter asserted his innocence, and plead
ed for release so he may secure civil
trial in Atlanta. Judge Hook refused

him remanded to the Federal prison
to await the action Of the United
States Supreme Court, on the appeal

cause he as a delegate from a new

sonable were written prior to the or
ganic act making Hawaii a territory

these prior issues. AS to his election,
a. perfect machinery of election was
established, ballot box regularly pre-
vi6ed, practically every one partici-
pated in the voting and the will or

The increase in population in Berlin
Is most remarkable. During the last
80 years the population has Increased
from S25,389 to 1,SS4545 within the
city limits, and, including its imme-
diate suburbs, to more than 100000
souls. During the last ten years it
has grown faster than Chicago. This
increase is due to the development Of
the manufacturing industries.

The Kansas City Star observes:
THE science of theoretical chemistry
fully justified it's own existence in the
century just completed. 1t has made
little progress toward an explanation
Of the fundamental principles of the
origin Of life and the constitution of
matter, but it has made the world
much more comfortable place to live
in, and by so much has contributed to
the happiness Of the race"

The immediate and direct results of
rural free delivery are clearly appar-
ent, observes the Augusta (Me.) Jour-
nal. 1t stimulates social and business
correspondence and so swells the
postal receipts. The farm is thus
brought into direct daily contact with
the currents and movements Of the
business world. The value of farms,
as has been shown in many cases. is
enhanced. Good roads become indis-
pensaDle, and their improvement ex-
ercises wider and deeper influence
1t becomes factor in the social and
economic tendencies of American life.
Rural free delivery brings the farm
within the daily range of the intel
lectual and commercial activities of
the world, and the isolation and mo-
notony which have been the bane Of
agricultural life are sensibly miti-
gated. This extension of rural free
delivery is q great national work; It
must be carried on with care and wis
dom. Every person and family living
outside of city limits is vitally inter
ested in its progress.
