in small and obscure companies where she
would be required to furnish every bit OF cos

willing to give her chance if she would
pay them few hundred dollars for the oppor-
tunity. But in the first class companies she was
able to obtain opening of any sort For every
position which these mana gers had at their dis
posaI there were hosts of applicants. some of
whom had the benefit of social or family intlu-
ence. For the Canadian girl who had spent more
than $1,000 in equipping herself for the stage
there was not one chance of the kind for which
she had striven.
Nor does the expense of stage life end after
one has entered it. 1t is a costly pursuit for a
woman. An illustration is offered by an actress
who last winter was playing the leading part IN
a stock company in a Western city. Her salary
was $3.50 a week That seems big. but there was
a play every week, which meant new
gowns, and these the actress had to buy her
self. She played in the stock company six
months, and in that time her dressmakers' bills
were $500.
In these days stage wearing apparel is costly.

Of the best the richest and most costly. For it
is an age of dramatic spIendor. Even the stars
have an enormous yearly expense in the matter
of wardrobe. OF course. they can afford it, and
a part of their outlay may be looked upon as
personal indulgence, although utility generally
underlies it. Many women stars carry a dupH-
cate set Of costumes for their plays. This is a
precautionary measure, so that if anything hap
pens to one dress another is ready without de-
lay. 1t is said of Miss Henrietta Crosman that
she carries duplicate of every article that she
wears the stage, and that she alternates them
each night. This habit extends to her stage
boots. Those that she would wear one night as
Rosalind would remain idle in the dressing
room the next night, while duplicate pair
would twinkle on her feet on the stage. Mrs.

with new, although the former may not have lost
the lustre of freshness Miss Henrietta Cros-
man would resent the notion that she is super

Yet this little trait of not using the same thing

beyond her costumes. and goes even to such ar

whereas there would be less fear in, say,
ciety play. In the latter a young woman would
have to represent her own type, or be merely
herself, work into which she could be more
readily coached than in costume play.
All that has been said here applies only TO the
grI who is looking to the dramatic stage. If
she wants to start in comic opera the difficulties
are less. Women who possess voices and per-
souaI appearance are in demand for choruses.
owing to the large number of musical comedies
that are being produced, and in this capacity
her expenses for stage costume would be SMALL
as nearly everything is furnished. The "show
girls of the present day musical plays receive
their gowns from the management; all the
chorus singers are likewise provided with
dresses. Sometimes they have to furnish their
own shoes and hosiery, and once in while their
own fieshings tights; but generally the man
agement provides all these articles.
But even here there must have been consid-
cradle preliminary outlay, for even the chorus
girl Of the present time stands poor show un-
,ess she has received a certain amount of voice
culture.
In fact, il would be almost impossible for a
young woman to get engagement with any
1rst class organization unless she had received
q certain amount OF training even if it were not
al dramatic school, and there are managers
and stars who do not approve of these institu-
lions but think that the first lessons in stage

o'clock In the morning. The mine Is
situated almost In the heart of the lit
tie town of Federal which nestles
among the hills Of the CHARTERS valley.
about four miles back from Bridge
Vile. At the time of the disaster
about rs men were at work In the mine
and why more were not killed no one
is able to explain. The scene of the
accident was about 1900 feet back
from the pit mouth and was apparently
local explosion. None of the sur
vivors knows how the explosion oc-
Cured. and the only ones who could
have told the story of the accident
were carried from the pit mouth dead.
The dead were engaged In cutting an
entry under the direction of William
Nelson. the pit boss. who had gone
back into the mine to see how the
work was progressing. Jacob Sailor
was a driver, and he and his mule
were found side by side dead. James
Nelson was the farthest in the mine
and was the one who was nearest the
point of the explosion. Where the
men were working there Is a dip In
the vein, which then rises sharply to
level. The men were blasting away
the rock roof and were using both
dynamite and blasting powder in their
work. II Is supposed that a charge
had been improperly tamped and that
when II was shot II exploded the rest
OF the blasting material in the entry.
The injured men had been working
In the rooms that led off from the
entry. Alarmed by the noise OF the
explosion they had rushed from their
rooms into the entry to make for the
open air. The concussion threw them
to the ground and to this they prob
ably owe their lives. Their burns we're
painful. but not enough to result Sc
riously. The mine Is new one and
Is operated by improved electrical
mining machinery run by plant at
the mouth of the slope.

General Miles report on the afro

retary Root to order a court Of In
quiry to investigate the allegation
that two natives we're beaten to death
by Major Robert L. Howe Of the Sixth
Cavalry. Until General Miles made
his report. which the war department
did not make public for two months.
this case was officially regarded as
closed AMI It was said no further ac-
tion would be taken concerning It,
Root issued the order for the court
OF inquiry, and at the same time what
was said to be an accurate and com.
plete account of the Howe case was
given out. The correspondence COW
ers almost 3CO closely typewriter
pages. Accompanying the order Is a
long statement from Root. in which
he briefly reviews the case and ex-
presses his full confidence in the In
nocence of Major Howe. He says he
orders the further investigation simp-
ly that all OF the facts may be brought
out. The court Is to be composed OF
three officers to be named by General
Davis. The two natives are alleged
to have been beaten to death in north
ern Luzon In the spring of 1900. Two
or three days later there were hints of
cruelty, and Root says the bodies OF
the two natives were exhumed and
examined by two surgeons. who found
no traces of brutality. Subsequently
Major George X. Hunter of the FIJI
teenth Cavalry, in a private letter to
Governor Taft. charged Major Howe
with having caused the natives to be
beaten to death. The letter was re-
ferred to General Macarthur. who or
dered an investigation. Howe was
acquitted. and 1t was urged that Major
Hunter be court martialed for filing
charges against an officer with the
civil authorities. This was not done.
When General Miles was In the Phil
ippines he heard of the charges. and
asked Major Hunter to produce the
proof. He presented affidavits from
natives that General Miles considered
good evidence and he called attention
to the case in his report. Root inti-
mates in his statement that jealousy
between Major Howe and Major Hun
ter is responsible for the charges.

dutch HARBOR COAl|NG STATION
ADVISED BY DEWEY.
Admiral Bradford Says canada's Atti.
tude Makes Il Necessary to
Prepare for Hostilities.

Admiral Dewey, as president Of the
general board, has made q report to
Secretary Moody recommending the
Immediate establishment Of a coaling
station at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and
the erection there OF coal depot with
an initial capacity OF 5000 tons. The
estimated cost OF the work is about
$4,000. The money Is now available.
Believing the establishment OF coal
depot at this strategic point will
strengthen the United States on the
Pacific ocean, the president has heart
lily approved the plan and preliminary
steps in the work have been taken al
ready. Dutch Harbor is located on
one Of the Aleutian islands, and Is on
the direct commercial route between
the ports of Behring sea and southern
Alaska and the Pacific coast OF the
United States. 1t is also in the line
of steamers passing through the Uni
max Pass, most of which make Dutch
Harbor a port cf call. Its use as a coal
depot site was first recommended by
Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the
bureau of equipment. Dutch Harbor
will form the fifth in the chain Of coal
depots along the Pacific coast which
will begin at San Diego and include
San Francisco, Puget sound and Sitka
Honolulu is the sixth in the chain and
Guam possibly may be added to the
list. In recommending Dutch Harbor
as a site for a coal depot the general
board had in mind the fact that there
Is no coal suitable for navigable pur-
poses mined anywhere within some
thousands Of miles. Rear Admiral
Bradford, in his report recommending
this new coaling station, said: AT
tention is invited to one of the great
political questions OF the day, viz, the
settlement OF the boundary line be-
tween the United States and Canada.
There Is abundant evidence going to
show that the spirit Of Canada on this
matter may be considered as threaten
ing. Between Alaska and the conti-
mental limits OF the United States is
located the domain OF foreign coun-
try. The territory separating Alaska
has good harbors and ample anterior
water. Dutch Harbor. II is also be!iev-
ed. will prove a great aid to other in
terests, as ships are frequently In need
of coal when reaching this port and
an arrangement will be made by which
the government may sell coal to steam
ships applying for it,
