There is something Incorporating
and severe about the words Christian
Science" Weber and Fields's and Christian
Science form about as sharp contrast
as one could imagine. Yet it was in
dressing room at Weber Fieldss that
the following conversation took place.
The dressing room is small and filed
with the paraphernalia Of star. AT first
glance 1t looks like big bonbon box, and
the star herself does not destroy the IL
fusion.
1t is hung in pink and green chintz. There
are big mirrors, outlined with artistic
flowers. There aie real flowers on the
dressing table. There are dozens OF bottles
Of identifying stuff and makeup. There
is tiny tea service for the matinee after
Moons The delicate perfume Of orris
fingers in the air.
Outside you can hear the shuttle OF feet
on the narrow stairway, the chatter OF
chorus men and chorus maids and the
cry of the call boy.

patiently. "Well, why don't you come then?'
Yes, it is hardly the atmosphere that
suggests the immaterial and the spiritual
yearnngs of the soul.

"Oh, think perhaps my being s'ved

me was the most wonderful thing In the
world. When you think OF the number
Of people killed in that way! And that
machine weighed 1900 poundsl

Miss Russell ended the interview BY a

"A singer worries about her throat until

see what mean"
There was call and the star said blithely

song now.
She caught up big bouquet Of property

Interesting History of Cane Once Owned by Father of His
 Country.

One of the things that passed through the Baltimore fire un- scathed was a cane once owned by George Washington and now the property of Maj. H. H. Raleigh. The cane reposed during the fire in the vault of the Merchants Credit and Collection Bureau at Liberty and German streets, says the New York Sun.
 "In Gen. Washington's will," said Maj. Raleigh, two canes are mentioned. One was bequeathed to Robert Washington, of Chop tank, Va, who gave it to Robert Thompson, a relative.
 'Later it passed to Miss Kittie Thompson, a sister of Robert Thompson, and finally Peter Gra- son Washington of New York, whowas assistant secretary of the treasury under Guthrie, was the owner of the stick.
 "Peter Grason Washington be- queathed the cane to the oldest male heir of Gen. George Wash ington who was living at the time of his death. The late Mrs. Ra. leigh was a granddaughter of a Mrs. McPherson, of Washington, D. O., who before her marriage was a Miss Washington. After some contention it was proved that Mrs. Raleigh's brother, whose family name was Edwards, was the person entitled to the pos session of the cane. I purchased the relic for my wife, and when she died it became my property"
 Although described as cane, the relic is really a sSaff. It is of bamboo, about four and a half feet long and just such a stick a.5 Washington might have used fin tramping over his broad acres in Mount Vernon. The Washington coat-of-arms adorns it's gold head, anditisencircled with a gold band, upon which is inscribed:
 "Willed to Robert Washington and by him to descend to Peter Grason Washington, of New York"
 As soon as the embers had cooled, Maj, Raleigh hastened to the vault and was much relieved to find after the cane had been re- movedsfrom the chamois skin case that it had not been scorched.

UTRAN THE SHERIFF.
Though Shackled, the Negro Made Good Time With Half Gal-
 lon of Whiskey.

Melville, April 5. Jack Nolin, Marion county's only black ne- gro, who escaped the guard and skipped the county, was captured at Batesville three weeks later.
 After escaping the guard here he stole Lum Weist's horse and sold him in Baxter county for $50. He was captured in Bates vile and turned over to Sheriff Perkins, who brought him within one-half mile of the jail, when Jack saw his last chance and he jumped out of the hack with the shackles on one leg and outran the sheriff, carrying with him a half gallon of whisky belonging to some one in his place. How ever, he was captured about three hours later in a bunch of cedars drinking. He was bound over to the next court.

SHARK AS A MESSENGER.
Carried Newspaper to Sydney outdis- tancing Steamer Conveying Im-
 portant Item of News.

The story of the discovery of human bones and bangles in the interior of the crocodile captured at Fort Johnson, Rhodesia, brings to mind another story which may appositely be recalled at the present juncture. Every. body has heard of "Mrs. Macquar. rie's chair," as they call the east, ern point of Farm Cove, in Sydn A harbor. There, says the \ James Gazette, it was that pd emigrant, in pre-cable days, killeA and lowed ashore a shark, cut hiL up, and found a London newspa. per in the internals. In the paper was the announcement of the war between France and Germany. The shark had outdistanced the steamer by which the mail was coming, and here the discOverer had the fact to himself. He gave his information to a wealthy wool dealer, who bought all the sea, sons clip at 9d. per pound, and sold at 3s. after the news of the war had arrived by the ordinary channel He cleared, it is said, four millions sterling by the deal. The man who killed the shark and extracted the news of price-well, he received a battered silk hat and five shilling piece and unre- strained liberty as to the disposal of the shark.
