 Ellen Terry was bitterly censured three years ago just before the produc- tion of Robespierre when 1t was rumor- ed that she had quarreled with Sir Hen ry. At that time the name of a man crept into the gossip. He was an artist and amateur author. man of great wealth called Bert Cooper. Ellen Terry toured in the provinces with him as her assistant manager She did this in spite of the advice of friends theatrical and social. It aroused no end of gossip
 Finally she was persuaded to return to the Lyceum for her own sake as well as for Sir Henrys and arts.
 She consented to take the small part of Clarissa in "Robespierre," but all through the rehearsals there were inces- sant rumors of squabbles undignifled and worthy.
 Sir Henry had the sympathy of the whole professional world, to whom he has always been generous and most hos pitable.
 Finally on the first night of Robes pierre the feebleness of Terry's per formance was commented upon.
 For the first time 1t was reported that Irving had said bitter things of his as- sociate. His friends declared that she had nearly ruined his scenes by inatten- tion and carelessness.
 On the other hand 1t was protested that she had come back to the Lyceum to play a thankless part In Robes pierre because she knew that Irving needed the added strength of her name.
 Quite recently in speaking of her ca- reer Miss Terry said For years l have taken any part that Sir Henry cast for me. I have been willing to take even comparatively small roles. Of course one appreciates the quality of yersatili- ty, but in the end Is 1t not more satisfac- tory to do the work for which one Is suited? I should have liked to play Ros- alind, for instance, but the opportunity never occurred"

MARK TWAIN AMONG SCENES OF EARLY LIFE

William G Waite, now a printer in the St. Louis Republic composing room. worked with Mark Twain in the early fifties, when he too. wus printer. They were employed in che old Evening News office in St. Louis. and the future au- thor worked a year ir that capacity.
 He was a good printer" said Waite. but mighty independent He was al- ways called that boy by Charles c. Ramsey, proprietor ard editor of the News. He'd get down late once in a while and Ramsey would say: Here's that - boy late again. Clements didn't say anything to this for a long time. but one morning he turned on Ramsey and replied: Take your dashed situation, and go to Ca warm country)!' He left the office and we heard nothing of him for several years"
 Mark Twain was born at the Village of Florida, not far west of Hannibal Mo-. and it was at Hannibal that he spent his boyhood days.

S world has lost his Portia
 At the end of twenty-three years at a most inauspicious moment Ellen Terry has chosen to shake off the Irving yoke. The revival of Faust has been a failure.
 Cissy Loftus, twenty-five years younger than the great Terry could not replace her in the hearts of English theatre goers.
 Her Marguerite has not been suc- cess.
 Alone, superb in spite of his sixty three years, Henry Irving as Mephis- topheles could not carry the play Faust" has been withdrawn.
 In honor of the coronation the great actor has announced a tremendous and sumptuous revival of "The Merchant of Venice" with Tyrone Power, the young English actor as Sassanio.
 But the question is who will play Portia?
 At the same moment in honor of the coronation Beerbohm Tree announces an unequalled performance of the Merry waves of Windsor.
 At the head of the cast appears the name of Ellen Terry as Mistress Page. Ellen Terry in a Shakespearian pro- duction at rival theatre under rival manager!
 The theatrical world is amazed. It is the first time in twentythree years that she has appeared in London under any management but that of Henry Irving
 Not even the fact that the Mistress Ford is to be played by Madge Kendall, to whom Ellen Terry has not spoken for many years. has deterred her. She will act opposite her enemy.
 It is predicted that Beerbohm Tree will have his hands full. while poor Henry

MORE WEAvERS STRIKE.
May Go Out at CoIIinsviIIe and Say
That More Will Follow.

Lowell, Mass, April 30.-About 70 weav-
ers of the Beaver Crook mills at Collins
VILE, which is a branch Of the American
Wcolen Co., struck. today, partly out of
sympathy with the Olneyville strikers
and partly on account of the discharge
of seven men who attended meeting lii
this city last night.
The strikers claim that last week three
men were discharged because they at
tended dance conducted for the benefit
of the Olneyvile strikers. The three
men discharged were those who acted liz
an official capacity at the dance e
\ few of the weavers in the Collinsville
mills are members OF the local union. but
, the majority of them belong to no union
though it is thought that a union will
soon be formed. -
The meeting which caused the discharge
of the seven men, this morning, was held
by the wooden weavers of this city and
| Collinsville, last night. The purpose Of.
the meeting was the discussion of the oil
NEVILLE and Lawrence strikes which have
resulted from the double loom system.
| Thomas Powers of Olneyville, was one of
| the principal speakers. One cause for Il
dissatisfaction arose from the fact that
the three weavers were recently discharg-
ed from the Colinsyile mills for express
ing sympathy for the Olneyville strikers.

THE LATEST PROJECT.
Electric Road Between WatervilIe and
Oakland Now Being Discussed.

Now there is lots of gossip afOat
splendid new wooden mill will give that
town a boom and other industries are
expected to follow. The natural outlet
for the town will be Waterville' and it
is thought that neither the Maine Cen
trail or the proposed narrow guage will
furnish daily trains enough to accom-
modate the public most conveniently
hence an electric road is poposed and
the proposition meets with a good deal
of favor.
1t is believed by those who are fami-
liar with the conditions that an electric
road between the places would pay
well. There is good water power at the
Oakland end to furnish the necessary
current at a comparatively small cost.
The nature of the country is also fav-
ora BILE to building.
An advantage that would be appre-
ciated by Waterville would be the OPEN
ing up of good land for building which
isanow too far from the center of the
city for convenience. But with an
electric road running through it the
city could spread in that direction
Some of the excellent land that is now
too far away would make excellent To-
cations for residences if it could be
reached by electrics. The matter is re-
ceiving much favorable comment and
something may come of the discussion
now in progress.

VIM. Baker, fireman on the shiftin

VIM. Baker. fireman on the shifting
engine at the freight yard has at his
loft over McGugin's stable very select
flock of homing pigeons. The flock
numbers about SO birds, % Of which are
young ones. A number of these pig
cons are birds imported from Belgium
and all have on their left leg the band
of the National Federation of homing
pigeons. Some few of the flock have
also a band Of the owner on which are
Mr.. Bakers initials and the date of
their Matching. Mr.. Baker has very
commodious quarters for his pets.
Three different compartments or rooms
which are light and airy form the loft,
with nesting places, shelves for perch
ing and ample room for the birds to
move about. The flock is set at liberty
each day for exercise and the birds
spend usually about half hour flying
about over the city, very seldom alight-
ing and never on any other building but
the one in which their home is. They
usually fly very high and the flight Is
very pretty as they circle about when
near the ground and as they rise to the
great height. Among the flock are
some very fast birds. One pair that
was taken to Springfield, Mass and lib
Grated there made the flight to their
loft here, a distance of $50 miles. in 5
hours and AZ minutes Mr.. Baker hopes
to soon send several Of them to Wash
ington and Philadelphia and have them
make this much longer flight and ex-
poets good record from them.
