ETHEL BARRYMORE. COOK,

From the Kansas City World.
 Ethel Barrymore, the actress, has in- troduced new sort of advertising.
 The divorce scheme is badly frayed at the edges. Being thrown out of a carriage has elements of danger. "Pinky Panky Poo are dog cheap. Ethel cooks. No less a kitchen than that of Senator Mark Hanna-Mark Hanna, the composer of the celebrated minced mystery yclept 'corn beef hash" which is en regle in Cleveland-has been the theatre of EthePs culinary art.
 At recent function at the senator s home the same being a reception to Miss Barrymore, the actress prepared the din- ner, her piece de resistance being pigeon en casserole" High art indeed. But is this pigeon en casserole" some potpourri of the chafilng dish or real pigeon pie? If the latter, Ethers fortune is already made.
 Why should any woman rant and walk the boards when she can cook pigeon pies?
 We have 'oodles" of actresses. Cooks are as scarce as genius

The Money Market.

"The interview with MT. Morgan had a decidedly beneficial effect, not so much upon values as in fixing public attention upon a few facts that should not be over looked when the pendulum seems inclined to swing towards unreasonable pessim- ism" said Henry Clews in his Saturday circular.
 ''He was perfectly correct In saying that the bulk of undigested securities were in strong hands, that there was no danger of their being dlslodged; that the banks were amply protected, and that the country at large continued prosper ous It was perhaps wholesome that these facts should have the impress of author ity upon them, in order 10 prevent exag- geration or undue apprehensions from so prolonged decline; but there the effect of the interview seemed to end, and the market while since steadier has shown no disposition to advance.
 What are the real reasons for present hesitation in the stock market? They are these: Q) The actual scarcity and con- sequent high rates of money; @ the small returns upon good securities com pared with current interest rates; (3) the large supply of undesirable securities awaiting a market; (D large pending is- sues of good securities that will be offered at the first opportunity; 6) the bitter rivalry created by such contests as the Southern Union Pacific and other dis quieting controversies. A genuine buoy ant bull market seems impossible in the face of such conditions; still good rallies ought to follow the extreme declines. because the general financial situation is sound, and because many of these con- ditions have already been freely dis counted"

From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 AN HILE there was universal won- WV derment when 1t was learned
 w that so rugged and strenuous parsonage as President Roosevelt pre- fers feather bed to hair mattress. mo- body was surprised in the least to hear that no such thing as a feather bed could be found in the Auditorium hotel in Chi eago. or In the Annex, or even In the homes of anybody connected with these fashionable caravansaries.
 There are people still living who can remember when the "setting out" of a bride included as cardinal details a feather bed, a bureau and COW. These were regarded as a promising nucleus for the accumulation of more varied possessions. But the feather bed, alas, to borrow a figure of speech from MT. Cleveland, has fallen into "innocuous desuetude." As an article of general use 1t fingered some years after the disap- pearance of the buffalo robe, which also frequently served as a furnishing for beds in its time but feathers in these ate ud9S-ludl lS III VI pidIC Ol mattresses-are limited almost wholly to the use of foreigners and their descen- dants, such as the Pennsylvania Dutch, the Mennonites and the Amish.
 In its day the feather bed met the re- quirements both of utility and decoration. It was a conspicuous feature in the spare room," where the heighth of the bed was an especial mark of elegance, and where more than one feather bed was frequently used to convey the idea of primitive luxury. Spread with cover lets, wrought in geometrical patterns, or with bright patchwork quilts. feather beds delighted the aesthetic eye or invited to repose. In the winter season 1t was the common habit to sleep between feathers" that is. with feather bed be- low and one on top.
 The sturdy children and the rugged parents who were raised in feathers" to quote an obsolete provincialism, quite shattered the theory that came in later that feathers were enervating. The Penn

Proving His Appetite.

That was a pretty good one friend of mine played on the New Yorker" said a man at the Morris.
 "He bet the New Yorker he could eat sixty eggs and slice of ham at one sit ting. The bet was dinner to a party of twelve of us.
 "When we all sat down at the tables where my friend was to prove his ap- petite the next evening he surprised every one by ordering a good sized shad-roe and a slice of ham,
 Tt seems there are about 1900 eggs to the cubic inch of shad-roe. Of course he ate several cubic inches, besides his slice of ham. The New Yorker will probably specify hens eggs next time"

Booming the Cause of Peace.

The world is growing away from force-the force of gunpowder and all the incidents of death and mangled forms. This form of barbarism has long ruled the world, and while arma- ments are still increased yet it is done in the interest Of peace, and apologies are made on account of demands for money for war purposes.
 Already taxpayers in the older coun- tries are beginning to rebel against war ornaments, and as things are go- ing they will soon cease to support

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 It does seem mighty mean for a girl with rosy lips to stay In a room full of people.
 Mighty few men can get as much fun out of giving s10O to charity as losing it at the races.
 Some men are so stubborn it takes their wives a long time to make up their minds for them.
 There is an age when every girl wants to go on the stage just as there is when every boy wants to be a pirate.

SOTHERN TALKS OF HIS
 HISTRIONIC EXPERIENCE

corners of the mouth, and the mouth itself, expressive and enunciating rapidly. Even this faded finally. leaving only the eyes, forehead and the hard lines of char acter in the mans face. By some peculiar trick the lips seemed to be quiet, al- though the words still came. Finally the impression changed and the face came back clearly before. Then came the outline of the man in his smart frock coat and finally the outline of the stage and the more distant confines of the great room. The actor, too. had changed from the animated, interesting talker of a mo- ment before and was leaning back once more in his chair with cynical, hardly pleasant, expression on his face He was saying:
 We played three months in New York to tremendous business, the greatest we have ever had there; and then to come to Baltimore-it is a sharp change There the audiences were appreciat tive very cos mopolitan and sympathetic Here they have been small. We have done wretch edly poor business this time and they are so cold that 1t is disconcertng The other night forgot my lines and went up in the air from that very thing l was thinking how strange it was that it should be so. There they sat, cold and undemon- strative, while in New York we could feel them sway with the emotion of the play Baltimore audiences are enthusiastic at the curtain, and sometimes demand seven and eight calls. They have done so this week, but 1t seems strange that they should be so unsympathetic and apparent ly incapable during the performance. It seems to me that the fact that musical comedies fill these houses indicates the taste of the town Alright in the streets will draw crowd instantly but it takes some time to fill theatre to see a play from Shakespeare. I would never play in Baltimore for my own pleasure; it is simply to fill a week. I certainly don't enjoy playing here.
 We were to have rehearsed one of three short plays this afternoon to be given at a benefit for the actors fund in Boston. Miss Loftus is going to do one, Miss Ellington another, which I wrote for her, and I shall appear in another by Rob- ert Louis Stevenson, all short. Later we will go west, clear through to San Fran cisco We will play number of one night stands. They are not bad, however-all large towns with good hotel accommoda- tons, and that sort of thing. By the way" he changed the subject abruptly. Miss Grace Kimball Is here, is she not, with the stock company? She used to be my leading lady.

whether by primary or convention Since the adoption of the primary sys- tenn last year it is claimed by many that 1t should embrace the senatorships hereafter, leaving nothing for the legis- lature to do but confirm the peoples selection. There will be many strong and potent arguments advanced as to the ad- Visapihty or the senators being chosen by the primary plan and there will doubt less be a division among the candidates on the subject.
