ROYAL ROBES OF JANAUSHEK SOLD
THAT THE END MAY BE IN PEACE
Relics of Past Triumphs Sacrificed to the CIamor
of Artist Creditors.

tress 1t must almost be an impossible
ity to see those robes stretched on the
dummies about the room without feel
ing almost the presence of Madame
Rosenbaum: without seeing the ghost
of Lady Deadlock fitting about; Lady
Macbeth striving to give courage to
her craven husband. and the spirit of
the fated Marie Antoinette going to
her death.
The little trinkets the actress has
treasured these many years are dis
played for the purchaser. There is the
gong that summoned Maryto the scat
fold, and ornaments of many kinds,
each with it's own individual history. 1t
is only another case where the COM
mercialism of the age has leaped upon
and choked the fondest memories of
the triumphs of long ago.
Many visit the rooms where the tar
nished finery is displayed out of admit
ration for the talents of Nine. Janau-
schek others go to see if they may
not pick up some trifie or other that
will serve as relic. Still others are
there to buy from a speculative stand
point, and others, again, out of idle
curiosity. Just as the jackals go in
to feast upon the dead king of the
forest, do many guests go to see the
departed glories of Mime. Janauschek.
1t must be almost like attending the
funeral of an old friend There were,
no doubt many men and women of
the stage whose eyes grew dim when
they thought of what the wearer of
those robes had come to.
There are the things that helped to
make men and women weep the things
that assisted Nine. Janauschek to play
upon the emotions of her audience to
such an extent. Yet they must now
be separated and distributed, no one
knows where. This is the sacrifice the
old actress is compelled to make to
maintain the slowly ebbing tide Of life.
Every one knows how she struggled
on for months, hoping against hope
that something might turn UP that
would make unnecessary the parting
with her treasures. How she fought
against the suggestion that her idols
be disposed of, when the landlord de-
manded the paltry amount which she
owed. Then came the time when the
( evil day could no longer be STAYED off.
and the end had come. To her that
meant the indication that the end Of
all things had come.
In the days of long ago thousands
stood about the stage door to see the
great actress come out and get into
/ her carriage, and there was no thought
of the evil time slowly creeping on.
All the memories of the past glories
have descended to this--an auction sale.

Theater- goers in Savannah. especially
those who admire actors and actresses
of the old school, have been panied at
the reports of the restitution of Nine.
Janauschek. who lies i'll at Saratoga
On her last visit to Savannah this
gifted actress, who in her tottering
old age insisted on keeping at her
work, was a ptiful sight in Meg
Merrillies." and there was more pathos
in the spectacle presented by the aged
tragedienne than in the lines of the
play itself.

there were people who watched eager

comfortable her last years. No one
will ever know the heart pangs that
must possess the old actress when she

souvenirs of bygone triumphs now be-

1t must be that as one looks at the
| gowns of Catherine, the rags of Meg

| the long review OF the years in which

to her very within and gesture; of the
! deep impression she made on many a
human mind, and the characters she
created and played with such vigor and

REPORT ON ADDITIONS
TO UNITED STATES NAVY,
Admiral BowIes shows the Progress
Made in Construction

Admiral BowIes shows the Progress
Made in Construction.
Washington, Oct. 25.-Rear Admiral
Bowles, chief of the Bureau of Con-
struction and Repairs, in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Navy
reviews at length the progress made
by this government in naval construc-
ton during that period.
1t is shown that the following addi-
tons have been made to the effective
force of the navy during the year: One
battleship, four monitors, twelve tor
pedo boat destroyers, one torpedo boa
and seven submarine torpedo boats.
The list should have been increased
by two battleships and five cruisers,
the report states, but owing to strikes
and other causes their completion was
delayed.
The report states that the rate of
progress of vessels under construction
at the present time presents some very
encouraging indications for completion
OF many of the most important con-
tracts, but, considered as a whole. the
progress made during the last fiscal
year has been very satisfactory.
Speaking of the battleship Connecti-
cut, which is being built at govern
ment yard and which is sistership Of
the Louisiana. being built by private
company, the report says that al
though slightly behind the Louisiana,
the progress made has been well up
to the best previous average of con-
tract built ships.
Concerning the navy yard at Nor
folk, Admiral Bowles says:
Being located on Hampton Roads,
where large fleets must of necessity
rendezvous, this yard should unques-
tionably be equipped as one of the
foremost yards of the country. Re-
Gently the first-class battleship Illinois
came to and left the yard without diff
Guilty. This would appear to settle the
question of sufficient depth of channel.
1t is stated that the bureaus work
continues to be embarrassed by lack of
sufficient dry docks of a capacity suit
ed to the dimensions of battleships and
first-class cruisers.
Appended to the report is a complete
list of all vessels in the navy with
elaborate data concerning them, also
summary which shows there are 252
vessels in the navy fit for service, for
| ty-five building and twenty-three un-
| fit for sea service.

1871 1-2 MILES AN HOUR.
Remarkable Run Made Yesterday on
"a German Electric Road.


From the New York Sun.
Berlin. Oct. 23.-Another speed test
on the experimental electric railroa q
from Marienfelde to Zossen was made
to-day. A rate of 1917 miles an hour
was achieved. At the last test a speed
of about 125% miles was reached.
A large crowd of military officers,
civilians and foreigners, watched the
experiment from the Dahlwitz station,
and the sensation was impressive. Inn
mediately after the start was made a
trumpet was blown to warn bystanders
away from the track Then far in the
distance electric flashes were visible.
marking the contact of the conductor
with the overhead wires.
A few seconds later peculiar buzz
ing became audible and rapidly in
creased in volume. While the car, which
when first seen was diminutiVe, be-
came enlarged to the sight with almost
incredible rapidity. suggesting a fly
ing projectile, until il seemed to sud-
denly become of immense size.
Then, with a terrifying roar, it sped
past the station amid flashes of light,
while the wire turned into long fiery
line. Before the eye was able to re-
ceive the impression the outlines of
the car contracted with the same
amazing rapidity with which they had
enlarged and in a few seconds more
the car was a mere speck in the dis
lance.
AS it Numbered past. the blurred fig
ures of the occupants were visible for
a fraction of a second. Among them
was Mr.. Siemens who said afterwards
that it was not desired to increase the
speed. The track on which the expert
ment was made was four miles long.

ACTRESS WAS SHOT.
Mysterious AFFAIR Is Brought to Life
in New York.

New York, Oct. 25.-Guarded so close
ly that not even the police knew of
the case, Corona Ricardo, an actress,
with a bullet wound an inch above
her heart, lies critically ill at her home
in this city.

and the explanation made tonight is
that the bullet must have been fired
by a mysterious stranger, who had fol-
lowed her home from the theater re-
peatedly, or that she was hit by a
stray shot from a street brawl. All
she knows, it was declared. was that
she had approached an open window
and was peerlng out through the dusk
and rain when, from one of two men
talking at a fence. had come the flash
