THE MAsHER MASHED.

the Cow, at $12 Per.

There is, no doubt, among the "mash-
ing" fraternity belief that the young
women OF the stage take the flood of
letters sent to them by "Johnnies'' and
'chappies" in all seriousness, and that
in the brief intervals of leisure from re-
hearsals and performances they fit
about from restaurant to restaurant

exploring the mysteries of private din
ing rooms and sizing up the exact de-
gree of attachment Of their many adj

girls, however, these impassioned mis-
s1ves Of their unknown admirers are a
never failing source of amusement. A

Mackay Paid 81 900 For a Seat and
Travelled Far to Occupy It.

Harvard Paul, who goes to Europe
next month. relates in the Dramatic
Mirror how kindly disposed to mem
bers of the theatrical profession was the
late John w. Mackay.
Il could furnish countless fllustra-
tions of Mr.. Mackay's unfailing and
sympathetic generosity" said Mr.. Paul.
.sHe desired no public recognition of
his beneficences. Indeed. he asked his
journalistic friends to be silent on that
subject.
'I remember one little incident char
acteristic of the man. The late William
J. Florence was a friend of Mr.. Mackay,
and on an occasion in San Francisco
Mr.. Florence at the end of a not very
prosperous engagement announced a
benefit for himself and his wife. Mr..
Mackay happened to be in Frisco at the
time and wrote to Florence for one or
chestra seat. 1t was duly sent as a
matter of course, and Mrs. Florence re-
marked to her husband that considering
the friendship existing between the two
men she thought Mr. Mackay might
have taken a private box at least
Wait said Florence, he has not paid
yet, and 1 am in no hurry The benefit
took place, Mr.. Mackay came from Vir-
GINA City, New, to occupy the seat he
had taken, and day later he sent Flor
ence a check for $1,000.
He used to perform many generous
acts of that sort. Once in New York I
organized a benefit for a struggling
singer who was down on her luck and
absolutely penniless-~ Dining one day
with Mr.. Mackay I told him OF the
circumstances and added, I shall send
you a dozen tickets to give to your en-

both the Wagner festivals at the Prinz
Regents Theater in Munich.
Enrico Caruso, according to the re-
ports that have. already reached this
country, is to receive from Maurice
Grau 81 $50 a representation, which is
more than any tenor ever got on his
first visit to this country. Jean de Reszke
sang first for ST. 200 and a percentage
which, during his first season here, was
rarely an important share of his COM
pensation. Signor Caruso must be-
come very popular to make such con-
tract a good investment for his man
ager in view of the repertoire he sings.

today his name is heralded far and near
as a great dramatic writer.
His latest. and it is said, his master
piece, creation, is ''Unorna," which Mrs.
Bruno will present here soon with a
splendid cast. composed of many play
ers that are well known. and the pro-
ductioh is said to be one of huge pro-
portions. The story tells of the ad-
ventures of a young Driestess of the
Temple of Golah, near Delhi. India,
who has been abducted and taken to
Prague and there held captive by an
Arabian, who is anxious to possess GER
tain mysterious powers this Unorna
possesses, to further his own avaricious
desires. The many stirring events in
cidental to her departure from India
and her soiourn in Austria are told
most graphically and only in such a
way as f. Marion Crawford can tell.
1t can easily be cleaned from the locale
of the play the splendid opportunity
thus offered for elaborate stage pictures,
which we are assured Wallace Munro
has taken advantage OF to the fullest
extent.

thing. 1t silenced the loudly laughing
crowd as though every vocal chord had
been suddenly severed. A sweetly gen.
tie blind girl had CROPPED her way
through the play thus far. Soft music
had accompanied her entries and exits,
the hero of the story had shown dis
position to love her. and now she was
a pathetic figure, silent and apart, in
contrast with the merry ones at the
husking bee. The hero found a red
ear of corn and his reward and punish
ment, by kissing the comedy and the
ugly girls inpartially, caused tremend-
Gus hilarity But he skipped the de-
murely expectant blind girl. The in
slant that he was told of the omission
the Academy was a place of utter ST.
lence. Perhaps you mightn't have
heard the drop of pin, but a cap
dropped from the gallery would have
sounded loud. Every eye followed the
fellow while he tenderly kissed the
girls forehead, and no situation in a
tragedy ever had more pathetic atten-
ton than was given to this sentimental
moment in a broad farce. Who says

Threadmalxer Clark Dead.

NEWARK, N. J., July Sword has been received here that William Clark, the thread manufacturer, has just died in England. MT. Clark was one of the largest manufacturers of thread in the world. He was born at Paisley, Scot land, in 1S41. He came to this country in 1864 with his brother George and in a small way began the manufacture of cotton thread in little building on the banks of the Passaic river in the upper part of this city. From that beginning there grew the great works, having a branch in Paisley, Scotland. and GOV ering with immense buildings many acres on both sides of the Passaic ill this city. MT.

NEGOTIATIONS AT ROME.
Vatican Brides Itself on Expedite
 In the Matter.


 In the Matter.
 ROME, July 8.-A member of the committee of cardinals which is exam ming the propositions submitted to the Vatican authorities by Judge Taft, governor of the Philippine Islands, with regard to religious affairs in the archipelago has unofficially informed Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, s. D., who is member of Judge Taft's party, that the committee expects to be able to reply to Judge Taft's propo7 sitions, submitted July 3, by next Thursday night.
 The Vatican is birding itself upon the expedition with which this busi- ness is being done on it's side.
 The note to be given by the Vatican to Judge Taft will, as did Judge Taft's note to the Vatican, contain a sort of contract, with clauses of agreement, to be signed by both parties.
 Great difficulty continues to arise as a result of Judge Taft's request that the friars in the Philippines be with drawn. The cardinals especially insist that the friars of other than Spanish nationality, although they may belong to the four religious orders concerned, remain, as well as sufficient number of Spanish friars to teach the Spanish language in their universities in the islands.
