Irving Selects Cissy LOTUS as Ellen
Terry's Successor.

New York, Nov 19.-It was rumorcd
in theatrical circles today that Miss FL
len Terry has arranged to leave Sir Hon
ry Irving's company at the end Of the
season, and has personally selected Miss
Cecilia LOTUS to succeed her. Miss Ter
rvs health has not been of the hest tol
the last two years, and only her desire
to help out her old stage partner kept her
from retiring earlier, as she herself has
acquired a fortune and has been able TO
keep it. She is now determined to rest
OH her laurcls, the story goes.
1t is considered remarkable conpli-
meut to Miss LOTUS that she should
have been chosen by Miss Terry, for it Us
only two years since she went upon the
legitimate stage. The young English
woman who first gained popularity by
her mimicry in music halls, turned to
comic opera. then to tragedy, and then
played a season with the I.yceum stock
company. Her first complete dramatic
success was the heroine in f. II. Soih-
ern's production Of her former husband $
play.
Sir Henry will revive Faust on an
elaborate scale in London next spring
and it is believed Miss LOTUS woHl-
make an ideal Marguerite.

The Man BEHIND the PICK.

There has been all kinds of gush about the
man who is -behind"-
And the man behind the cannon has been
toasted, wined and dine1.
There's the man behind the musket, and
the man behind the fence;
And the man behind the whiskers. and the.
man behind his rents:
AID the man behind the plough beam. and
the man behind the hoe;
And the man behiLG the ballot. and the
man behind the tough:
And the man behind the couRter, ard the
man behind the bill:
And the man behind the pestle. and the
man behind the pill:
Ana the man behind the Jimmy, and the
man behind the bars;
And the Johnny that goes shopping on the
stage behind the stars:
And the man behind the kisser, and the
man behind the fist;
And the girl behind the man behind the gun
Is on ..a1 list;
And the malI behind the bottle, and when
they We're short of men.
There was some small rhYmester waFbied
of the man behind the PEN
But they missed one honet fellow, and I'm
raising of a kick,
That they didn't make n mention Of the
man behind the pick.
Up the rugged mountain side a thousand
feet he takes his way.
Or as far into the darkness from the cheer
ing light Of day;
He is shut ont from the sunlight in the
glimmer Of the lamps
He is cut of from the sweet air in the sick,
~ fumes and damps
He must toll in cramped positions: he must
take his life In hand.
For ne works in deadly peril that but few
can understand;
But he does it all in silence, and he seldom
makes IA kick,
Watch Is WHY | sing the praises of the man
behind the pick.
He unlOcks the boted portals of the noun
tains to the stores
Hid in natures vast eXcheQuer in her treas
ure house of ores
He applies a key dynamic, and the gates
are backward rolled,
And the ancient rocks are riven TO Their
eclet heart Of gold.
Things OF comfort and of beauty and Of
usefulness are mined
By this brave and quiet worker--he's a
friend of humankind;
Who. though trampled down and underpaid,
tolls on without a kick;
So ! lift my hat in honor of the man be-
hind the pick.

Midwinter came down to breakfast and
picked up the daily paper lying on his
plate. He opened it casually, but
number of bold headlines staring him in
the face caused him to utter an excla-
nation and read the terrible news that
followed. A few minutes later he real
lied that the Castillian had gone down
III the Bay of Biscay, and seventy per-
sons, including Arthur Herman, had
been drowned. SO it happened that the
Beauty Stone at last claimed a life,
and lay fath0mS deep on the ocean bed.
1t was not until the following morn
ing that Midwinter came to any decision
as to how to act. At first he thought
of going to Minnie Davenport and bold
~ telling her the truth, but eventually
against him for all time. That he must
offer his condolences. and also conceal
the true characteristics Of Herman's nat
ture, was subsequently apparent to him.
and with this object in view he set out
for an interview with her.
When he had nervously rung the bell
of her house he became uncertain as
TO whether she would see him. but do
nestle standing in the doorway crushed
his fears. \ moment iaJcr he was ush-
cred into the drawing room. 4 quick
step sounded along the passage. the door
opened, and the pretty face of Minnie
Davenport, radiant with smiles, came in
to view.

said. Pray be seated
He sat down and faced her

STEEL TRUST MARKETS.
Helps to Create New Fields to Com

\ point of progress which will find its
fullest expression in the new steel cor
poration is that of making new markets
for steel, writes Ray Stannard Baker in
McClure'S Magazine. Only Il few years
ago the SHOEMAKER was fulfilling his mis-
sion if he sat still and let the orders
come in, but today he manufactures NOT
only his steel, but also his markets to
absorb it,
An English writer exclaimS: The
American steelmakers manufacture bust
ness out of nothing And one has only
to look upon the recent development in
the United States Of steel buildings. steel
bridges. steel railroad cars. steel rail
Rad ties. steel ships. and so on. to real

the plans without charge, provided only

AN EPOCH-MAKING SCHOOL.
archaeological Institute Excites the
Wonder of All Observers.

Wonder OF All observers.
Coming as it does at the beginning Of
a new century, Mr.. Carnegie's proffer
means one of the most complete-in some
ways the most omplete-institution OF
its kind in the world 1t begins where
others leave off. 1t is to be built, as it
were, on the experience of like institu-
tons the world over. The mistakes, the
defects of technical education in other
great centerS, are to be avoided, partly
by reason of the fact that only the best
experts have been consulted in planning
the institution and partly because the
possession of ample funds will enable the
trustees to overcome all difficulties that
have confronted like institutions at the
start. For with the Carnegie schools
difficulties that grow out of narrow en-
dowments will not exist. The idea is to
gear the technical schools in with the eX-
listing public school systems of Pittsburg
and Allegheny, so that there will be
steady ascent for the capableS from the
bottom all the way to the top. The tech
nical college will require a high school
or an academic education; the high school
will he superposed on the education Of
the grammar grades while those whose
school opportunities are few or wanting
the artisan classes meet the emergency.
At present any estimate of the effect of

to see how its influence can be localized
altogether, since it transcends any exist
ing institutions, such as the Armour in
Chicago, the Pratt in Brooklyn and the
Drexel in Philadelphia. Still, while il
may force certain establishments ON exist
ing schools. its main effect should be To
key up technical education all over the
United States. As Prof. Thurston quot
ed one enthusiast in his report, speaking
of visit to a German technical univer-
sity, the Carnegie schools will realize
for greater number than ever before
what has been the dream of all technical
educators, that ''highly educated men
should engage in teaching skilled work
which underlie all material work, so as
to make their work their pleasure, excel

execution and finish their highest amb-
