a GRAND OLD WOMAN.

THE CAREER OF Mrs. c. H. Gilbert
indicates that persons who desire
to live long upon the earth should
adopt acting as their profession A
few days ago Mrs. Gilbert celebrated
the eighty-third anniversary of he
birth. She is playing one of the lead
ing parts I'm q company that is on the
road. That means that Mrs. GiIbert's
life is three or four times as hard as
81 would be if she were domiciled in
one &lace.
Nevertheless, she is hale and hearty.
The one-night stand so dreaded by
actors and actresses who are babes in
comparison with her has no terrors for
this grand old woman Of the stage.
She catches the late trains with the
best Of them, she appears eight times
every week in her role, she goes to bed
late and she gets up early We are
almost prepared TO believe she has haG
a draught from the fountain Of eternal
youth.
Not long ago the theatrical firm
which controls the company in which
Mrs. Gilbert is playing made a ten
tative proposition to retire her She
was told that she could rest this season
on full salary if she desired to Go so.
But Mrs. Gilbert desired nothing of the
sort. Instead Of gratefully accepting
her pension she Indignantly announced
that it would be many years before she
retired from the stage Then. to the
great establishment of the managers,
she demanded a more important part
than she had last season.
Her grit won an affirmative response
TO her request. She has the better
part Tow. and all reports agree that
she is playing it in splendid style. Mrs
Gilbert Is an actress in a hundred
thousand. Starting in the profession
more than a half century ago, she has
seen her stage sisters rise from IowIy
beginnings to lofty eminences. flash
across the theatrical horizon and dis
appear into obscUrity long. long before
they had attained anything like her
years.
Mrs. Gilbert might almost be called
the mother Of the drama IN this coun-
try. Actors and actresses throughout
the land delight in doing her honor and
the general public should not be behind
in that matter For its part, The Her
aid wishes Mrs. Gilbert as many more
/ years CT stage life as she desires.
whether the number be twenty or fifty
or hundred. May she at least round
out a century Of happy existence and

COUNTRY Roqk EXHIBITS.

A FEATURE of the mining exhibit at
a the St Louis exposition which is
as new as &c is attractive and valuable
SIS csHed to the attention OF The Herald
bv a communication from Joseph A.
Holmes. chief OF the department OF
mines and metallurgy for the eXposi-
ton Mr. Holmes does not care a great
deal about glittering displays Of ore
from the worlds great bonanzas. They
are pretty. but they don't teach any
lessons He says:
Neither the mining engineer Of to-
dav nor the general public is impressed
with seeing large specimens Of ore es-
peciaiIy selected for exhibit. WHAT the
engineer desires TO see-and it is on his
information that capitalists make in
vestments-is an exhibit which win il
lustrate not only the average richness
or the deposit. but which viii show the
country rock contiguous to such de-
posts.
.sThe country rock is the basis upon
which the mining engineer makes his
Investigations. and If the above plan
IS carried out by the various state COM
missions ne viii have an opportunity
cd examining the country rock of the
lannon's mines OF one state and con-
trastlng them with the country rock
of mines in other states" Mr. Holmes
saws his department is making every
cnort to have the state commissions
work alone the line ne suggests. fos
he believes. and an Of us believe. that
the educational value of a great expo
sition IS its most desirable feature.
The exhibits of ores which have

have been good to look az, and only
that. True. they have taught the now

Didn't THEW Ramble!

1t was during the night and the early
morning following the machine conven-
ton in Salt Lake, as the story goes. A
number of leaders of the machine fac
ton, including Bruce Johnson. con-
cluded to celebrate the success Of the
machine. They first visited q saloon
where cOlOred trade is not permitted
Johnson, of course, could not get in,
SO he waited on a corner while the
others passed through the swinging
doors. For an hour Johnson waited,
and during that time many drinks
the swinging doors. When they en-
erged it was in a line like that en-
plOyed at the penitentiary. Executing
the lOck-step they came out and passed
down the street shouting in concert
Knox as they brought their feet
down on the pavement together At
the corner-the leader of the file seized
the waiting Johnson, swung him in at
the head OF the line, and, led by the
cOlOred boss, the prominent citizens
continued down the street. Thereafter
they visited only such saloons as would
admit Johnson. The lOck-step was in
variably resumed before leaving each
saloon and continued to the next. At
one of the saloons a prominent Office
holder made ringing speech from a
saloon chair. in which he assured the
boys that they would get all that
had been promised them. The jubilee
lasted for a long time and furnished
great amusement for the night hawks
on the streets and the lOafers in the
various saloons visited

SPREAD OF CONSULTATION.


TT IS RATHER STARTLING to read
/ the remarks Of Surgeon General
sternberg Of the United States army
on the subject Of consumption. His
statement that 10000 people die every
year Of consumption and typhoid fever
is wen calculated to make some of US
stop and think. DR.. Hurley Of Indian
apolis, who also spoke in the meeting
of the American Public Health assoc
citation now in session in Washington,
discussed the same subject, paying
special reference to the transportation
of diseased individuals.
Dr. Hurley declared that tuberculosis
Is much more readily communicated
than leprOsy. Yet, he said. and we all
know it to be true. people would start
a riot II a 1eper were taken into a pas
senger coach or a public gathering. He
accounted for the great number or
cases of consumption by the lack Of
thoroughness in guarding against it.
Diseased individuals are permitted to
mingle IN crowds. TO visit public places
and to live in other ways as their more
fortunate fellows.
Isolation IN cases OF consumption IS
becoming more and more recognized as
the only method Of checking the spread
% the disease. And yet it is hardly
possible to isolate all the cases. In the
first place there are too many Of them.
and in the second place the public has
yet 70 be educated up to the necessity
Tor such action Until the education
of the public is complete we can only
urge on those having consumptive pa
TENTS i'm their charge the need of the
utmost caution. the utmost respect for
the safety Of others.

TIE EXAMPLE OF INDlAMApoLIs

INDIANAPOLIs had a municipal cleo
ton recently which has afforded food
for thought TO politicians all over the
country The Republicans Of the city
he'd had things their OWL way so long
they thought they had a permanent
lease or the Offices. The natural result
followed. A few leaders took things
into their own hands, a ring OF some
dimensions was formed and the bust
ness OF the city was. sacrificed for the
benefit Of the bosses.
Finally things came to such n pass
that the independent Republicans re-
volted and al the late election the
Democratic candidate was elected
largely by the votes OF Independents.
Commeutino on the election, the In
6ianapolis Journal remarks somewhat

A mist was I'm the valley.
The moon was on the hill.
The gusty wind was calling,
The frozen deWs were chill.
He stirred beneath the gravestone,
For faint and far away,
He heard the mournfuf bowling
OF old dOy Tray.
He put the earth-mould from him
And pushed the slab aside,
And sped along the highway
Tho gate was standing wide.
The frost had reaped the garden,
But crippled, blind and gray,
Still watching on the doorstep
Was old dog Tray.
lie peered between the lattice
The cloth was spread for tea,
A stranger held the baby
And rode il on his knee
His wife was fair and smiling,
His children laughed at play,
BY ali he was forgotten,
But old dog Tray.
The loving creature followed
That shape of VapOr pale
Toward the clustered marbles
That glimmered in the vale.
The east was turning rosy
With dreams OF coming day,
When through the churchyard wicke
Went old dog Tray.
Beneath the early sunlight
The frost was white as snow
On sculptured shaft and pillar
And crosses in a row.
a little stiffened figure
Among them silent lay
Still faithful 70 his master
Was old dog Tray.
