The Actors Mouth.

The actors mouth is essentially IA
cile and not infrequently 1t exhibits d
tendency to turn to one side or the 9TH
er. This is due, in part, to its being
constantly used to express emotion and
also to the peculiar but no less well
recognized fact that when the mouth
is somewhat crooked greater effect
can be produced than when 1t is open
ed quite straight. Example after ex-
ample could be cited, but for obvious
reasons names may not be mentioned.
At one time it was considered the mark
Of the low comedian, for nearly every
one Of them had q mouth twisted Ell
Their to the right or left as the result Of

Cor beauty-could,. however. be pointed

CANVASS TO Be THOROUGH
COMPLETE LIST OF DEAD AND
MISSING TO BE GATHERED.
Total Number of Victims Of Slocum
Disaster Recovered Is S84 =
Many Not Yet Identified.

New York, June "a. = The canvass
to determine as nearly as possible the
exact number of persons that lost their
lives in the General Slocum disaster will
be even more thorough than at first in
tended Not only will every home in the
great city which is thought to have been
directly affected by the great disaster
be visited by the special detail of pa
trolmen, but the investigation will be
extended to other cities and towns as
WE'LL From various points along Long
Island, from cities and towns in the
state of Pennsylvania, have come re-
ports that persons believed to have gone
on the ill-fated excursion are missing.
Where it is possible these places will be
visited by the New York Investigators,
but in many cases the local police will
be or already have been requested to
assist in the work. 1t is estimated that
week or more will be required to COM
plete the canvass and compile the final
list of dead missing and saved.
Wednesday nights searching for bod
les of victims was more barren of results
and less eyentful than has been the case
during any night since the burning OF
the steamer. The aleYtness and vigil of
the searchers were unrelaxed, but only
one body was taken from the river dur
ing the night.
On Wednesday 81 bodies came to the
/ surface. making the total number re-
covered 1888. Of these, IT'S have been
| Identified Despite the fact that the
police are bending every energy to-
wards getting complete list of those
who went on the ill-fated excursion
definite figures as to the number miss
! ing cannot be given. From present
indications, however, it is apparent
that the death roll will total nearly a
| thousand.
