Norfolk. Va. october 28-(special.)--A,.
+. Andrews, vice president of the South
ern Railway Company. and James ~
Barr vice president and general manager
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, had a
long private conference at the Monticello
hotel, and various are the surmises as 70
what Is in the wind. 1t IS believed that
the conference was in regard to the posi-
BILE acquisition OF the control OF the Sea-
board system by the Southern or by in
terests allied with the house of j. 2. Nor
gan & Co.
1t has been reported within the past day
or so that the committee who are en-
deavoring to adjust the financial difficult
ties Of Messrs. John J.. Williams Il Sons,
Of Richmond, and j. w. Middendorf, of
Baltimore, have received two or more
interests offers for the Scaboard stock
held by these firms, and it is conjectured
that the Morgan interests may be of
these.
While ii is impossible TO obtain any
thing authentic it is reported that Nor
gan has set out to secure control of the
Seaboard.

He Is young in years, impulsive. ambi-

has been a change IN the sentiment Of
the Colombian senate respecting the Pan

fact, even 10 the Colombians that the

graphs the government that at daybreak
this morning the garrison occupied all
stratebgic positions with the Wow of pro
tecting the banks public bindings, fac
tories and markets and especially the
Jesuit and other religious houses which
the rioters seem determined to attack.

General Velasco adds, were used by the
rioters in their struggle With the sol
diers The principal railways are under
the protection OF the troops. Trains con-
tinue to run though with extreme eau
ton All other traffic in and outside Of
Bilbao has been stopped. y number Of

The military forces are considered suf :
ticient to check ncendiarism and at

The ACTRESSES Calling.

Chicago Post.
Mr.. Harrison Grey Fiske, manager OF Mrs.
Fiske and the Manhattan Theater, New
York. recently delivered an address before
the Art Students Club of the Church Of the
Ascension in that city on the stage as
profession for young women. This church
is presided over by the Rev. Percy S. Grant,
and is one of the most liberal and progress
sive in that Episcopal diocese. and the club
is composed OF young women who are study
ing TO be artists. actresses, etc. Mr.. Fisxe
noted that the young women who seek the
stage are of two classes, the first being of
those who look upon it as an easy means
of livelihood, or who are moved by vanity.
and the second class being those who are
impelled TO adopt It by a legitimate ambi-
ton and are moved by the natural instinct
usual in those of real talent.
Mr. Fiske said that the stage is not so
remunerative as is commonly supposed by
young women, and that to the average
aspirant ii does not offer such pecuniary
possibilities as ars found in other business
directions now open to women. The merely
stage struck" he said, are often sufferers
from their own false ideas as to the life of
the theater, and their ignorance of require
ments and results makes them victims of
those who, by false representations, impose
upon them in various ways. He said that
young women who go upon the stage may
preserve their ideals, although sometimes
the environment is not in accord with those
ideals. The requisites for success are varied
and eXacting. the field is overcrowded. and
managers are harassed by the applications
of many who have no call 10 the profession.
The best school, Mr.. F1Ske said is the stage
itself The best way for young woman to
start is in a thinking part" where the
novice may get an opportunity TO under
study, and where one may observe the Gre
alton of play from the beginning through
rehearSalS to a performance.

OVATION FOR A. M. OGLE

Fifty six well put together, lively.
healthy, vigOrous-voiced, wholesome COL
lege lads. too full of good spirits and the
joy of living to be decorous even before one
of Indianapolis most representative audi
ences, make up the Princeton Glee, Banjo
and Mandolin clubs, that sang and played
at the English Opera House last evening.
Their concert was one of the society events
of the year, and musically was just what
is expected in a glee club concert-good,
but not too good-and as full OF wholesome
humor and tuneful music as comic opera.
Fair maids and matrons in beautiful
gowns and men in evening dress filled the
boxes and a good portion of the lower floor
of the house. and encored every number on
the programme, while the upper floors were
not behind in numbers or appreciation. AL
fred Mccartney Ogle. jr. of this city, drew
the particular honors of the evening with
a "coon song solo, to which he was forced
to give two encores. Joseph r. Truesdale,
of Ohio, was on the programme for the solo.
but gave way to Mr.. Ogle, who received
tremendous welcome from his audience,
most of whom he numbers among his per-
sonal friends.
A quintet of singers, made up of Messrs.
Barney, McClintock, Truesdale, Brown and
Jones, drew second hoIorS III a nuInDer OF
amusing songs and sort of comic opera
dance and walk They were called back
twice. The banjo club was exceptionally
good, a slight favorite over the mandolin
club.
over score of Indianapolis Princeton
alumni took to the stage for the last song
of the evening, the Triangle Song Of Old
Nassau, and helped in singing IL with
right good will. The concert ended with
the Princeton yell, given in a way to warm
the heart of any man who has ever trod
he i'm 10 ar
yell of his own alma mater
The concert was followed by dance at
the Propylaeum for the visiting college
lads, given by the local alumni.
