Troy had the honor of seeing Mrs
Nations debut on the stage. And she
made a hit. too. It is seldom that the
famous Troy dog has had so much
fun 1t liked Mrs. Nation immensely
and that part of it which occupied the
upper part of the theater shrieked with
glee. Later in the season the play is to
be taken to New York. and there is no
doubt that the New Workers will con-
tribute literally to the Golfers of the
manager. Mrs. Nations share of the
profits, she says, will be devoted to
building home for drunkards' wives.
Ten Nights in a Barroom'' had to be
fixed over considerably to suit the new
star. But there was a saloon in it and
that was all that was necessary There

SCARED MRS. CARTER.
Lawyers Clerk Serves Papers Before
Footlights.

New York Nov. IA Jealous law
yer's clerk has caused considerable ex-
citement at Belasco's theater by leaping
to the stage from a box and serving
papers on Mrs. Carter, giving notice of
a suit for an injunction restraining the
Belasco management from producing an
old play in this city.
The curtain had jug been raised on
the first act when the clerk elbowing
his way through a box occupied by sew
eral ladies and their escorts, leaped to
the stage. Mrs. Carter was about TO
begin her lines when the documents
were thrust into her hands. For a mo-
ment she appeared greatly frightened
by the intrusion and the clerk, driven
back from the wings by stage hands,
was compelled to leave by the way he
came. He hurriedly fled to the street.
Only a few persons in the audience
saw the papers and realized what had
caused the incident and it was some
time before the excitement died out.
The suit is said to arise from a dis
pute with another manager and part
owner as to the rights for the play in
this city during the season.

of Cedarvale. Simon Slade dies an ap-

his injury and is leading a sober but
thirsty life. Even the village drunkard
has reformed and the town policeman
no longer seeks the convenient side
door.
Mrs. Nation has not been reconciled
to the theater. She still believes it to
be a haunt of the devil. But that
just the reason she is there. She says
that she believes that theater- goers

after them. She says that she has a
divine revelation directing her to be-
come an actress. Here's a new tip for
the next chorus girl who feels that the
stage calls her.
