Her Artistic Activity.
Only a few of the prominent actors
Of the day have built up a repertoire of
differing roles. and OF these. among wo-
men at least. the most conspicuous is /
Mrs. Fiske, WHO in the past decade has
shown -cmarkable artistic activity. Not
a season has passed in that time in
which Mrs. Fiske has not played. and
played successfully. some new charac-
ter. The list Of her roles ranges from
the fascinating comedy Of "Divorcons'
to the somber tragedy Of Little Italy.
The two represent the opposite poles Of
the drama. and vet Mrs. Fisze has act
ed them as a double BILL
When she first began 10 star, Mrs
Fiske confined herself TO comedies Ike
Caprice" and The Featherbrain,
and. except for few. Ike the late Law
renee Barrett. who foresaw the future
she was to have. the public regarded her
solely as a comedienne. The first reve-
lation OF her true powers came some
years after her marriage. when she re-
turned TO the stage as Nora in lbsen' 5
"A Dolls House" Her superb pOr-
trayal of tins difficult role placed her at
once in position of eminence. No one,
IL was declared, had given so subtle an
Interpretation OF Nora. and Ibsen him
self sent her a wreath Of laurel as
tribute But since that time, Mrs.
Fiskes art has riDened further and
those who have followed her career have
seen a steady progress. due to unswerv-
ing and untiring effort.
An Unusual Repertoire.
It is not the purpose Of this article
to detail MIS-. Fiske's career, which is
familiar 10 all who love what Is best
in the theaters, but the infinite variety
OF her roles merits necessarily brief
mention. Three of these roles have
been referred to. but there remain the
marvellous performances OF Tess of the
DUrbervfles, intense in the power and
thrilling in its repressed emotion; the
admirable Becky Sharp. a complete
realization of Thackeray's heroine; the
quaint flower girl in "A Bit of Old Chel-
sea-" the pathetic cripple in Love
Finds a Way" the self-sacrificing
Match" the dramatic Magdala; the
subtle Frou Frou; the delightful young
Italian countess in Dolce and the two
most recent successes. Mary Of Mag
dals' and '.Hedda Gabler."
Grouped thus. the contrast between
the roles is forcibly evident, and when

ton OF each part has been deeply intro

keynote is a marvellous emotional trans

depicts with consummate understand

drama. Hedda Gabler, most striking

AS A POLISH POET SAW HIM.
Interesting First Impression Of Gen.
George Washington.

The Century recently contained an
historical find" in the unpublished
diary of a friend of Kosciusko, the
Polish poet Niemcewicz, who visited
General Washington at Mount Vernon
III June, 1898, as confirmed by the gen.
erals diary. The Impressions of the
first President and his conversations
give unique valte and interest to the
paper. The visitor thus records his
first meeting with the general and his
wife, the narrator's .lie" referring to
his effort to conceal the fact that Kos
ciusko had left America to head a
Polish organization:

An entertainment of much interest
from the standpoint of the antiquarian
was given recently at the Marquette
school in st. Louis. under the direc-
tion of Miss Fanny NJ. Bacon, the
principal, the main feature of which
was the exhibition of ten old maps of
portions of the American continent.
They are the property of Mr.. Sidney
Clemenson Of Boston, who secured
them while travelling in Australia from
a French counsel, and were loaned to
Miss Bacon.
Eight OF them were made by Pow

England in 1861 and obtained a seat
in Parliament. The last part of his
life was devoted to antiquarian stud
les. These maps were published in
London in 1874.
The other two maps were published
in Paris. in 1906. One of the English
maps gives the thirteen original
states: one of the French maps shows
seventeen stars and seventeen states.
None of the English maps show Wash.
ington or st. Louis. The French map
does. There is no Chicago on either
of the maps. Cahokia and Kaskaskia
are on all of the maps. One of the old
maps gives the United States and
bordering Spanish possessions, gives

qualities requisite in that high office
were dwelt upon. and then the speaker
concluded by putting in nomination

"As soon as his name was men

from the hall. For a moment he was
overpowered with sense of the re-
sponsibility which was about to be put
upon him, and to his friend Patrick
Henry he said. with tears in his eyes:

downfall of my reputation On the
18th of June the nomination was unan-

appointment, refused all compensa-

days after the battle of Bunker Hill.
When Washington arrived in Cam

building suitable for his headquar-

most commodious and available ones
in that immediate vicinity. his choice

Ten New Commandments That Are
Plain ana Practical.

Ten New Commandments That Are
Plain ara Practical.
A new ten commandments, which
the people of Reggie in northern Italy
have lately adopted is of wide inter.
est. This new decalogue is not pri-
marily for grownups. but for the chill
dren of the town, and II is expected
that the little folks will, in their
schools. learn the ten rules by heart
Love thy schoolmates. for they will
be thy coworkers for life.
Love knowledge, the bread of intel
lect. Cherish the same gratitude to-
ward thy teachers as toward thy faith
er and mother.
Make every day thou livest the oc-
casion for some good and beneficial
deed: always sow the seeds of kind
ness.
Honor good men and true women,
esteem all men as equals, bend thy
knee to no one.
Do not bear hatred to anybody:
don't insult people. The word revenge
shall not be in thy vocabulary. but
stand up for thy rights and resist op-
precision.
Don't be coward: stand by the
weak and respect and love justice.
Remember that all goods of this
world are the products of labor. Who
ever takes the good things of this
world without giving their equivalent
in labor robs the diligent of their just
dues.
Exercise thy mind; observe and
think and try to ascertain the truth
of all things Believe in nothing mys-
terious, in nothing unreasonable; use
no deception either toward thyself or
others.
Do not assume that to be patriotic
one must hate other nations or glory
in war War is relic of barbarism.
Let it be thy purpose in life to
hasten the day when all men. as free
citizens of free state, shall live in
peace and happiness, in true brother
hood.
