BLINN's GREAT SUCCESS.


The music for both these plays, THE
Cat and the Cherub" and "The Moonlight
Blossom" was written by n. Clifford
Page. formerly of Alameda, whose tall
ents as a musician have raised him upon
a pedestal Of fame. He is now associ-
ated with Oroto Watano, the Japanese
playwright and musician.
Mr.. Fernalds s last work was the adap-
tation Of The Ghetto" for the English
stage. Not The Ghetto" Of ZangwiIl,
but Of Heijerman, a Dutch author Mrs
Brown Potter the American actress,
played the title role in this the most sue
cessful of Mr.. Fernalds efforts.
While in London the Fernalds met a
number Of California people. Besides n.
Clifford Page and Eleanor Calhoun there
We're Hobrook Blinn and his wife, Ruth
Benson both of the actor set
"Holbrook Blinn is about the most sue
cessful Californian / know Of" said Mr.
Fernald "He has become one offthe best
actors on the English stage. / have seen
him in Shakespearean plays in Manches-
ter. where they put on plays with much
more elaboration than they 90 even in
London. He was with Marlin Harvey in
The Only Way throughout a long run
and later with Olga Netnersole in Sap
pho Now the George Edwards Company
is to present Nine Sans Gene which
has been set to music, and Blinn has
been chosen to play Napoleon, the only
non-singing part. As BIinn makes up a
perfect Napoleon, I think he will be a
great success.

Australian yachtsmen smile in su- perior sort of way when they hear of the giant sail spreads of the Reliance and the new Shamrock and say that a thing like 3O,OOO square feet of canvas to the breeze, that is if they could get any one to build spars strong enough for one of their boats to carry sail, says a writer in the Sporting News. This is no idle boast either, as Yankee yachtsmen will probably be surprised to hear that little 22-foot cockleshell carries 3,425 square feet of canvas aloft when she is running in a slightly quartering breeze, which certainly eclipses the record of even our own sandbaggers. Charles Mac Laurin, a well known New South Wales yachts man, in writing of these Length Chasers," as they are known in Aus tralia, says: ''They are extraordinary affairs altogether. There are five sizes, s, 10 IA, IS and P feet. The type is similar in all-broad, shallow boats, with powerful bodies, to carry
 the most colossal sails, surely ever put upon mortal fabric of wood, iron and copper. One need hardly remark that to handle these gigantic masses of sail extraordinary skill is necessary, and as the sails have grown, so does the skill seem to have kept company in their development. s...:..

THE CHARS STOLEN VIOLIN.

Young Woman's Story of How Her
 Father Got 1t Back-His Reward.
 Baltimore, Aug 13-Mrs Eva Leeds Cole of 1884 Mount Royal avenue, this city, has received an interesting let- ter from Miss Adeline Partello, daugh- ter of Mir Partello. the United States treasury agent at Berlin, who recently recovered the Czar of RTssia's lost Stradivarius violin Miss Partelo refers to the recovery of the violin as follows:
 ssI wonder whether you read any, thing in the foreign papers about the violin of the czar. Which my father was instrumental in returning. Near ly two years ago the violin. Stradi- varius. was stolen from the museum at St Petersburg, and a common Ital- ian one was put in it's place. About a year ago the head of the Russian police came from St Petersburg to see my father and to ask if he had seen the violin, or heard anything of such a violin, in his wanderings among the dealers He gave a full descrip- ton of it and asked papa if he would not take an interest in the matter.
 At LuG LHC khnpd uIAI HoL LCC1 III clined to get mixed up in the affair. Some time after that the Russian am- bassador came and. being a friend. he asked papa as personal favor to take the matter up To please him. my father consented. after |frst securing from the Russian government an ap- pointment as special attorney to act for the imperial government without duestion. After six months effort he discovered the violin somewhere in Fra nee.
 'In the meantime. however. defec- lives had been searching all over Eu- rope and had met with no success. You can readily see how. my father might succeed where such men would fail Tn the first place. papa is fla nous all over Europe as the Dossessor of the greatest collection of old violins in the world. and any inquiry from him would be apt to 1,a responded to without fear of complicatio
 ''The people who had the violin had received it in legitimate purchase. and were wholly innocent parties whom my father guaranteed to protect should any question arise Tn fact, for their protection, their name and lQPlIlIV nave not D3SIl ulScIOS0O. '.We had the violin here in the house for q week. and played on it several times. There WIS quite a ceremony when it was turned over to the anlbds- sador of Russia. As there was some nervous feeling concerning it's safe de- livery to the czar the Russian consul general was sent to St Petersburg with it. There were several persons in high places who were desirous that the violin should not be returned, for some reason. so my father would not return fhe violin to the ambassador of Russia unless guaranteed of it's safe delivery. It was finally delivered. however. and identified as the one stolen.
 For his services the czar cent papa a large gold cigar box, heavily enam- elled. and ornamented with The royal coat-of-arms. two inches in diameter. set solidly with diamonds. It is a magnificent thing. The coat-of arms is detachable. so you can imagine that have designs upon it.''

When Henry Irving was rehearsing for his production of Faust he ex- perienced much difficulty in restraining i the exuberance of the supers, who per- sisted in being light-hearted, even in Hades. Sir Henry Irving is proverbial ly long suffering about such matters, but his patience finally gave out, and he thundered: Kindly remem Der that you are supposed to be in hell, not pie nicking at Hamstead Heath" "-Phila- delphia Record. ,

 The very common ignorance of the simple, fundamental principle of life insurance is illustrated in the letter to a Brooklyn, N. Y., paper by a man who complains that he is being frozen out of the American Order of United Work men because the premiums he has to pay for insurance by that body are too high. He says that when he first joined the order he paid S1.10 a month, $13.2O a year, for $2,OO0 insurance. Gradually it rose to $3.S4 month, but he did not grumble. Now, he says, When January 1 comes my assess ment will be $8.4O per month, and l shall be forced to give up. That is higher rate than the old line insurance companies charge on $2,00O." There are solid mathematical reasons for the course followed by the ''old line" com
 panies. But it may be admitted that if one means to die young he may do better to depend on the other plan. If he is to grow old its economy is doubt ful-as the correspondent seems to have found out for hinlself.-Hartford Times.

Tn discussing the Present Statistical Outlook in Washington, , the correspon- dent of the New York Journal of Com merce and Commercial Bulletin, on porations: 'sThe work now laid out for this bureau is of a really thorough type, and if it is pursued with vigor on the lines now suggested there will be a good deal of complaint in the near future when the methods now contem- plated are actually applied. Pressure of the most strenuous sort will un- doubtedly be brought to bear at the White House. Just how soon the de partment will really begin to show its hand in the matetr of trust investiga- tion cannot be certainly predicted, but those who are in alposition a to know say it will not be until after the next presidential election. As a matter of fact, a good deal of time is needed for the organization of the work and for laying out special lines of investigation All this will consume many months, and Secretary Cortelyou is too tactful man to weaken his strategic position by opening fire in presidential cam paign, if there would be any danger of hurting his party thereby. It will, therefore, be good while before there are any definite results of the inquiries of the bureau of corporations"

BRYAN DID VOTE FOR WEAVER

But Says That His Action Was Pari
 of Plan to Help Cleveland
 Lincoln, Neb, Aug 13.--W. J. Bryan has frequently admitted that he voted for the Weaver electors in 1892, and has never, in fact, denied the charge What he does deny is that he hoted the democratic ticket in that year or voted against the real interests of MT Cleveland.
 In justification of his act in voting for Weaver he produces a circular let ter sent out that year to every demo crat in the state by James E. Boyd Nebraska member of the democratic national committee. advising and urg- ing democrats to vote for the Weaver electors. so that Nebraska might be lost to the republicans. MT Boyd, ii is said, did this at the suggestion of the national cha irnnan.
