STORIES OF THE DAY.
A Clever Young Actress Who Failed
to Appreciate London's Great
Theatre

Here is story which may be told in
season. for it is undeniabIy good. and
can be vouched for on the word of the
lady most intimately concerned. re
lates London NJ. A. P. In the days
when Miss Marie Lloyd was first maxi
ing a hit" when Wink the Other
Eye" had just captured the
taste of the town. Augustus
Harris wanted to engage the
young lady for his forthcoming panto-
mine at Drury Lane. He was present
al a charity dinner when Miss Lloyd
sang her then popular song. and was
50 struck by the talents of the singer
that he rushed around to a private
room to interview her regarding an
engagement. Miss Lloyd" he said.
II want you to come to Drury Lane at
Christmas
not the star then that she
is now. and a pantomine
at Old Drury would have been a big
feather in her cap at the moment. But
she was always a demure damsel, with
the gift of considerable commonsense.
Flattering as the offer was-and she
confessed she scarcely knew how to
contain herself when it was maGe-
she had wit enough to affect a non
chalance that she was far from feel
ing.
oh she said. you want me to
come to Drury Lane at Christmas" I
don't know whether | can. The syndi
cate halls, where I am booked. won't
let me appear at the Middlesex,"
"The Middesex Music Hall" Harris
fairly gasped. II don't mean the
Middlesex Music Hall in Drury Lane
i mean Drury Lane THEATRE"
"Drury Lane Theater?' unused Miss
Lloyd. II don't think l know where
that is,'
The great manager was confOunded.
why. you must know it, he said;
its the great building at the top Of
the lane. with portico in 'front.'

National Theatcr, You must have
seen the soldiers on sentry outside"
oh" said Marie, with the most
innocent manner possible, "oh, is that
a theater? l thought it was bar
racks"
When Representative Otey Of Vir-
ginia arose to speak recently upon the
arportionment bill. says the Washing
ton Post he wanted 80 minutes, which
had originally been promised him, but
which. at the last moment. had been
cut down to II. SO. to put the House
in a good humOr. he began telling
stories. one of which was the narra-
tive of the two cross-eyed bicyclers
who cOllided with each other. why
don't you look where you are going"
said one. why don't you go where
you are looking?" said the other.
After he mad told this story and re-
hearsed the promises made to him for
half an hour Of time Major Otev sud-
denly threw himself upon the mercy of
the House. who is there in the
House." he exclaimed. pathetically,
who will now deny me the 30 minutes
l desire? l pause for a reply" And
then without a moments intermissiOn
Major Otey triumphantly shouted:
mo one objects"
At that instant the Speakers gaveI
fell heavily upon the desk. and like a
dash of cold water came the an
nouncement. "The gentleman's time
has expired
"Oh, no. answered Otey: II have
unanimous consent to proceed
But Mr.. Hopkins objected. and Mr.
Otey had to subsde. His scheme was
a clever one, but it failed to work.

The contention of the heirs is on
the point that the bequest was made
in perpetuity in contravention of the
state statutes governing requests for
public and charitable purposes. The
Judge says that the grave questions in
volved must be settled by the supreme
court, and that the greatest service he
can render is to speed the cause on it's
way to that tribunal. He declares that
| if the lamentable necessity arises to
what appears to be an effort 70 divert
this benefcent bequest from it's
original purpose, it should be done by
the court of last resort. He therefore
makes his decision in favor of the city
of Oshkosh against the contending
heirs, but the case will be appealed to
| the supreme court for final settlement.
The case was argued six weeks ago
and the lawyers for the city were
John Cluwin and Bouck & Hilton; for
the heirs were Barber Bros. of this
city and Burr W. Jones Of Madison.
The contending heirs are none Of
them near relatives of Mrs. Harris,
but consist of half a dozen persons
scattered from Maine to the state Of
Washington. most of them being
nephews nieces and grandnieces. In
her will Mrs. Harris divided some
$4,000 among these heirs.

the heirs of Abbie Harris against the
city Of Oshkosh to recover the value
of an estate estimated at $4,000, but
probably worth over 100000 be-
queathed to Oshkosh for a public IL

condition that the city raise an equal
amount, which was done by an issue
of $4,000 in bonds and a donation Of
$4,000 by Senator Sawyer. A public
library has since been built on the
Harris homestead, costing 100000
