SHORTLY RETIRE FROM T

in high comedy and the superior in
farce of any actress of her time" Her
buoyant and mirthful spirits. her IA
Gle, delicate art. her sympathetic in
telligence, her ability to express the
many moods and phases of human ma
ture, have captured muItitudes of
hearts and held them to the end. Per
haps there is no other living actress
who is regarded with so much of love
mingled with admiration, and yet she
has persisted in a lifelong nlystificatjon
of herself. being retiring by nature and
always denying herself to reporters and
strangers in general Her womanly
qualities have endeared her to many,
her earnest devotion to art has won
others, but, whatever the charm about
her that has paved the way to success.
there is no doubt that she has won it.
She has not only won professional sue
cess. but fortune as well, being ac-
counted the wealthiest actress of her
age in the world today. She always at
tended to the collection of her salary
with promptitude and invested it with
good judgment, her savings years ago
having attained the dignity of being re-
ferred to as "a large fortune" At the
time Of Days death she was a rich wo-
man, and whether she has been equally
successful since, either in acting or in
vesting. she long since had more than
enough to last her lifetime If she should
live through centuries yet to come.
Ada Rehan's fascination depends not
so much upon her beauty, as TO which
opinions vary, as upon her piquant
originality and alIuring mental gifts.
Her intellectually, which is undoubted,
is best shown in her renditions of such
Shalkespearean characters as she has
represented-a wide range, from the
tender Viola and Rosalind to Katherine
the Shrew-which have caused critics
to pronounce her perhaps the most
versatile actress OF Shakespeare's COM

ON BUSINESS BASIS.
Effort to Improve Athletic Situation
at Washburn.


Arrangements were made at a meet
ing of the Washburn. Athletic associa-
ton yesterday looking toward an or
ganiZation of the business management
of athletics at the college. Under the
proposed arrangement, the management
will be placed in the hands of some
member of the faculty who shall be the
permanent athletic manager, and shall
handle all funds of the association. 1t
is believed that in this way the bust
ness of the assOcia ton can be managed
more economically, and the annual de-
felt which has almost caused gray hairs
to the business managers of former
teams will be avoided. IT will also give
the st Idents and the alumni more con-
fidence that the financial affairs are be-
ing wisely administered.
A temporary arrangement was made
for the booking of games for next year
by the appointment of Merrill Mills and
Clovis Dale to attend to this work, and
fix uD a schedule.
H. Steele, Coldren and Mcfarland
were appointed as a committee to con
fer with a like committee from the fac
ulty for the purpose of recognizing the

HIS BET is PAID.
For 80 Years He Never Went Out in
the Day Time.

GA. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 294 344
New York. Dec. 19.-Owen McCarton,
a rich recluse of Oceanic. N. J., 20 years
old, is dead. Although he has spent
40 years at Oceanic, he was scarcely
known to any one except the members
of his own family.
For thirty years he had not crossed
the threshold of his dwelling between
sunrise and sunset because of an elec>
ton bet. During the presidential cam
paigr of 1872 between Grant and
Greeley, McCarton was one of the latter's
most enthusiastic supporters. He made
a. bet with a friend that if Grant was
elected he would not leave his house ex-
cept during the night as long as he
lived.
McCarton lived up to his wager.
About five years ago his house caught
fire and for a time it looked as if he
would have to break his agreement,
but the flames were extinguished before
they had gained sufficient Roadway to
compel him to leave the premises
