A Well-Earned Success.
verybody's Magazine.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 With the acclaim of the delighted au- diences again ringing in her ears, Miss Rehan must have thought of the long years of hardship, of tremendous work, of suffering she went through before she gained her present proud place; for the little Limerick girl who came to Brook lyn when she was three, made her first appearance with her brother-in-la Oliver Doud Byron, In Across the Con tinent' in 1874 She was fourten then and there were three years of schooling before she began her stage career in ear nest, playing in Mrs. Drew's company in Philadelphia, and in stock in Louisville, Baltimore, and Albany, with such players as Booth, Barrett, Mccullough, and Ade- laide Nelson. On one occasion she learned the part of The Lady of Lyons" In one day. She hau never even seen the play, but she took the part at ten o'clock in the morning and appeared in 1t that night In Albany she played 110 parts in the season of 1878. William H. Thompson was in the same company, and he played 112 roles that season. The following year Miss Rehan joined Augus- tin Daly's company becoming the lead ing woman six years later, and she re- mained with him for twenty years, until his death

having one of those chats that you see in the pictures there would have been a grand smash-up, and I wouldn't be talk ing to you now.
 Some years ago when Robert Garrett was vice-president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad he came to Grafton, w. Va, with a number of friends in a train made up of private cars bound west. He wanted to reach Parkersburg the end of the next division, as fast as 1t was possible to run there. This division-104 miles long-was the toughest on the whole road, which was saying good deal at that time. In the 104 miles there were twentyfour tunnels and forty-eight bridges, and the road went up hill and down through the whole distance. Some of the grades were over 120 feet to the mile and five miles long. not to speak of the sharp curves. Of course fast time was almost out of the question.
 George Robinet, one of the fastest en- gineers on the road, had charge of the special train. The first stop was to be Clarksburg. twenty-two and a half miles away. George took his train as fast as he could up the hills, and when he reached the top he would simply let 1t drop down the other side. He reached Carksburg in twenty-two minutes with a party of thoroughly scared passengers.
 Robinet Thanked.
 When the train stopped at the station MT Garrett came forward to the engine and thanked Robinet for his fine run, but said that he had changed his mind about being in hurry to reach Parkersburg, and ordered him to proceed at a reduced gait The fast run ended right there. and may be 1t was good thing 1t did for if he had kept on at such speed the train probably would have landed at the bot tom of a ravine.
 "Afterward, while Robinet was running a fast train on the Baltimore and Ohio. between Baltimore and Philadelphia, his engine jumped from the rails when it was going over the bridge crossing the Sus- quehanna river at Havre de Grace, Md. Nobody to this day knows what caused the engine to leave the track. It was one of the things for which there Is no ex- planation.
 This bridge Is fully 150 feet above the surface of the water and has no sides at one part of it. There Is just the under framework, with the crossties and rails laid on top. The train was going fairly fast at the time and after leaving the rails the engine bumped along the cross ties for hundred feet before coming to a stop, the guard rail being the only thing that saved the whole train from going over into the river A glance out of car window at this point is enough to make a person dizzy. so you can imagine the effect this had on Robinet. The ex- perienee caused hs hair to turn snow white in a single day. But even that did not make him lose his nerve and to this day he Is running one of the fastest trains over the same division

The Men Who lasso shIps.

Writing of a trip over the Great Lakes, in Harper's Magazine for April, Louis Morgan Sill tells of the lariat-throwers who are even more skillful than the Wes- tern cowboys:
 "One of the most interesting persons connected with the lake traffic Is a sort of brother to the landlubber cowboy" she writes. He Is practically the lariat- thrower of these prairielike lakes, but he does not lasso cattle or anything so triv- ial. His game may be wharf or an eight-thousand-ton freighter, and he never misses his cast. He makes no pre- tence to anything picturesque, and it Is doubtful If he would care to be so de- scribed but picturesque he is as he swings the rope in the air from dock to vessel. or vice versa. He may be in trim sailor garb, member of the crew of a luxurious passengers steamer or merely clothed in the easy-going garments of the man who wears them merely as means of covering.
 'The lariat-thrower is of particular nationality. He may be an American, or Canadian, or Irish, or Swedish, or Ger man, or almost anyt.ing; but after he has worked a while on these vast Inland waters, the lakes put their stamp on him, and he becomes a lake man. He does his work with certain calmness and ease, a philosophical mastery of things without excitement If you talk with him. you will find that he knows much more than he seems to know. Sheehan whose picture the artist has caught as he threw his lariat, discoursed upoin world wide topics.

Japan-The Hope of Asia.

Tolcott Williams in the boonlovers
 Magazine.
 Japan Is making the last stand of Asia. If 1t fails, Asia ceases to be separate integer in human development, and be- comes an appanage or Europe. If Japan wins, it has wrestled well and overthrown more than its enemies. It will become the theacher, first of China and then of a wider Asia. Japanese education wisely retains Chinese as it's classic tongue, play ing the part of the training which Greek and Latin play, or did play, in our own scheme of liberal study. Its administra- tors and officers are alone In knowing both Chinese classics and modern science. They are ready for their task. They have already begun 1t. The prestige Of victory will give them authority and ac- ceptance In remodeling China. Japan. after all, is alone In raising an Asiatic state of free self-government. Its in- situations are less like ours than they seem on the surface. Prescription plays the prodigious part 1t always has in Asiatic society. The sense of personal loyalty to the emperor is strong to a de- gree no European, much less an Ameri- can, can appreciate or understand That singular attitude of mind which permits what to us seems abasement in attitude. ceremony. and action. and yet preserves complete self-respect, is retained by the Japanese. They vote. they have parties. they practice an amazing freedom of speach in Japan; but at the final limited political action is bounded and controlled by influences and principles unknown and alien to the west. but perfectly compre- hensible to the Asiatic. who never for gets that the state and its supreme head is greater than himself his party or his policy. Japan has the secret of using European science without ceasing to be Asiatic. It Is a shallow view of the Jap anese nation which regards 1t as Euro peanized. It remains at the core Asiatic

What 1t has borrowed is small by the side of what it has retained. The prospects, strong twenty years ago, that its upper and intelligent classes would adopt Chris tianity, has vanished. There has come instead a renaissance of Shinto faith, a revival of Buddhism-just as Islam grows stronger in every Moslem country-and a widespread desire to preserve the Jap anese attitude in faith, in morals, and in social life. The Japanese soldier and sailor-in arms, armament uniform, or ganization, discipline. and drill-is Euro pean, but he addresses himself to his task with reckless disregard of life, a secrecy, a subordination. and freedom from personal ambition which recalls Asiatic rather than European tradition

buildings which l saw from it-and only went wrong on the side toward the rail- way station, where new quarter has grown up in recent times. Over that way, he said, apologetically. Monsieur must excuse him if he made mistakes so many new buildings had been erected since he went blind. There was so much pathos in 1t all that I was glad when had satisfied him by completing my round of the loopholes, and he closed them and led me down again by the twisting ladders among the bells"

Psychological.

From Harper's Magazine
 The cat and the infant sat upon the hearth-rug and regarded each other long and seriously.
 The cats attitude was that of pure con- temptation, her look as of one whose rule 1t is neither to ask or answer.
 The infant mind plainly struggled with a thought of which the outcome was presently this profound question: Does cat know she's a cat?"

The break ing up of the musical, the educational, the social and spiritual talent of the commu- nity into eight sections. is scandalous and wicked What wastes result! Six or eight feeble choirs with half a dozen voices in each one. instead of one splendid chorus of fifty voices, chanting the nob- lest music for the entire community. right little Sunday schools, each with fifty children, instead of one great Bible school, employing the teaching talent of the village, and duplicating the enthusi- asm of the village high school in the en- thusiasm of the Sunday school. Eight little churches where there ought to be one splendid central church of noble ar chitecture, with a pipe organ, with all the musical talent of the town and coun- try round about, gathered in a choral union, preparing the oratorios."

FAIRBANKS IS RECEPTIVE
He Will Not Seek to Evade the Vice
 Presidency.

Washington. March 4.-The Star to- night says: Senator Fairbanks will not resist a movement to make him the vice presidential nominee of the republican party.
 If the convention nomnates him he will accept.
 More than that he will not attempt 10 discourage efforts looking to his nomination"
 It is only fair to say that no eX- plicit declaration by Senator Fairbanks to that effect has been made. The h. diana delegation in Chicago was con- vinced today that MT. Fairbanks has yielded to the solicitation of men high in the councils outside of Indiana to take the second place on the national ticket. Almost without exception his closest political friends advised him i'll his own interest against accepting the vice presidency.
 Influential republicans in the senate such as Messrs. Spooner, Allison and Platt have urged him to take it on the ground that he would strengthen the republican ticket especially in financial circles and his first duty is to the party rather than to his political fu- ture.

SENATOR SHOOTS CASE
Being Seriously Injured by the Dis-
 closures Of President Smith.

Washington, March 4.-Interest in the investigation before the senate committee on privileges and elections of protests against Senator Shoot of Utah was unabated today, although most of the time was devoted to the introduction of documents subscribed to as the law of the Mormon church. In that connection President Smith, who was again on the stand, testified that if the plea of plural marriages should he attacked it would be defend- ed by the church.
 Intense feeling was exhibited by MT. Smith against individuals, who, he said, had spied on the domestic and matrimonial relations of the high off cers of the Mormon church and for that reason he had favored the pas sage of the Evans bill to prevent prosecution for polygamous cc-habita- tion, unless complaints were entered by husband or wife, gainst the other.
 This bill was passed but vetoed by the governor of Utah.

ITS ALL MADE UP.

St. Petersburg, March 4.-The Rus sian press hailed with great satisfac- ton the American dispatches of the last few days as indicating change in the disposition of the Washington government towards Russia. The Bourse Gazette says: "The position taken by America since last June, and the anti-Russian newspaper campaign of the United States, was so inexpli- cable that it seems a nightmare. As a matter of fact, hostility between the United States and Russia would be as great a misfortune to civilization in the twentieth century as the rivalry between France and Germany was in the nineteenth. IL is the duty of every right minded man to try to arrest this GnimCsity."
 The Novoe Vremya says it notes an important change in American official tactics. It is certain that this change is as agreeable to Americans as it is to us. The antagonism of Washington distressed, but did not frighten us, knowing no rupture could occur.
