Miss Remark has been associated in
prominent roles with many Of the best
known stars of the day and only last
summer she was leading woman of a
stock company in Denver where she
was supported by Aubrey Boucicault as
leading man, Theodore Thomas and
other players Of equally high rank. For
three seasons she was a prominent
member of Daniel F'rohman's New York
Lyceum theater stock company playing
In all the productions of that notable
organization. Her stock experience has
been extensive and has splendidly fit
ted her for the enactment of an emo
tional role like that of Cigarette"
More recently she appeared as "Estrel-
la" in the New York production Of
Arizona" Miss Remark has every
thing in her favor-beauty, magnetism
and a temperament which adjusts itslef
to the intelligent expression of every
phase of emotion. Her Cigarette" is
declared to realize the ideal of the
author and she appears to have caught
the wild spirit which animated the vi
vandiere and to have incarnated it in
her impersonation.

A Mystery.
Coroner Heimark held In inquest at
Pelican Rapids over the remains of the
man found in the woods near that
place. County Attorney Hilton was
present aud q searching investigation
was made.
The evidence proved beyond q rea-
sonable doubt that the remains were
those of Jacob johnson who disap-
peared Sept 8, 1898.
The same night his shanSy was
burned. The verdict of the corUner's
jury was to the effect that the deceassd
came to his deata by having his
skull crusf,ed by some instrument in
the hands Of some person to tho jury
unknown.
At the time of Johnsoa's disap pear
ance he was reported to have had a
considerable amount Of money on his
person, and there is is no doubt that
he was murdered for his money and
his body concealed by The nsaFderer.

Each coffee specialist glazes the new

theory. Some Ise egg, some butter or

MANY opinions prevail AZ to the amount

contend for no grease or glazing at all.
Despite the enormous output OF coffee
making apparatus there are certain points on
which the various practical sxperimenters
have seemingly agreed to disagree, namely,
as to the efficacy of fine ground or moder-
a,ely coarse ground coffee for providing
the finest drink, and whether the water
should be first boiled and then put on the
coffee or poured on cold and allowed to boil
a stipulated time.
Probably no other article of every day
fare has melted such discussion as to the
various methods of preparation or has
stimulated more effort to secure proper
apparatus for making it. The dealers
attribute tho popularity Of many OF the
newer coffee machines to the restaurants
and cefcs. The man who partakes OF
coffee to his liking in a restaurant imnaed-

used and orders an Individual coffee pot

apparatus that comes out in the hope of

Nov is the time when the show girl

| said an actress who has been playing with
Il company that closed its season last week
Few people realize what predicament
the summer season presents to the girl who
during the regular season manages to keep
employed at a salary which Just pays for
, her board and her frocks.
1T will do this, but nothing more. You
may talk all you please about saving, but
before you save you have to earn money
to live on, and girl making her living to-
day on the stage i'll the rank and file must
dress neatly and prettly.
when l say a girl must dress prcttily
do not mean that she must have expensive
clothes. but she must wear tailor gowns,
neat shirt waists and good gloves and boots,
As well As a hat that will 81 and inspection.
Now this sounds very simple, but it costs
money to keep looking nice in New York. =
Suppose girl gets SIS week-a sum
that economists declare il is disgracefu
for girl to spend on herself. She must
give up s. of it for her board and there are
, carfare and clothes TO come out of the
remainder.
Some girls econOmize by getting rooms
together and cooking their own meals; but
this generally results in their spending
all their money in restaurants or else neg
iccting to get the proper food, and that
doesn't pay in the end You can't posi-
bly, save, even if you manage to get through

charge.
Suppose a girl gets through the season
and has few miserable dollars that she
has managed TO scrapc together, or some
thing that she can pawn-which is very
frequent plan-that will carry her through
the summer. What is she to do then?
"She always hopes that she can pick up

It, Sometimes she will secure one oil these

with share Of the room or fiat that the
more careful or better provided for girl

This is not difficult to do among tho
girls in the show business. We are all
willing to give up our last cent to help one
