CLARA MORRIS YET HAS
 POWER OF EARLIER DAYS

pour my whole spirit into their por- trayal."
 No one can say again whether any strange turn of the wheel may give Miss Morris back again in these roles after the lapse of years. But when one listens to her speech and notes the ring in her voice and the poise of her head as she talks about them, 1t is impossible to be- lieve that even her most ardent admirers would find anything to regret in her reap pearance.
 She is in love with her literary work, but in spite of her pride over her success in this direction. and the evidence of her writings give that she can stir human emotion with her pen as easily as she ever did on tEe stage her heart Is in her old profession.
 Almost the last words she said before her cue came were:
 Now I go and do my little part. And the people out there who see me are still left wondering when its over. on account of my lack of opportunity, whether I am really Clara Morris, or only faded rem iniscence. And all the time l m burning to stand out before them that I am the same woman who lived in their affec- tions in the old days and am still able to catch all their sympathies across the footlights.
 But am in my sisterhood garb. and bow gratefully and humbly enough to the restrictions and limitations of my role" A delightful little woman. you see, with a heart of gold, and holding in full meas ure, even after the lapse of years, all her magnetism and her genius.

How Does the Robin Know?

John Burroughs in Februaray Outing
 I recently observed a robin boring for grubs in a country door-yard It is a common enough sight to see one seize an angle worm and drag it from it's burrow in the turf but l am not sure that I ever before saw one drill off grubs and bring the big white morsel to the sur face The robin I am speaking fo had a nest of young in maple near by and she worked the neighborhood very indus triouslytfor foood. She would run along over the rhort grass afterathe manner of robins, stopping every few feet her form stiff and erect. Now and then she would suddenly bend her head toward the ground and bring eye or ear for a mom- ent to bear intently upon it. Then she would spring to boring the turf vigorous ly with her bill, changing her attitude at each stroke. alert and watchful, throwing up the grass roots and jets of soil, stabbing deeper and deeper, growing every moaicnt more cnd more excited, till finally a fat grub is seized and brought forth. Time after time. during several days, I saw her mine for grubs in this way and bring them forth. How did she know where to drill? The Insect was in every case an inch below the surface. Did she hear 1t gnawing the roots of the grs sses, or did she see movement in the turf beneath which the grub was at work? know not. onnly know that she struck her game unerringly each time. Only twice cid I see her make a few thruets and then desst, as if she had been for the moment deceived.
 How pugnacious the robin isl With what spunk and spirit he defends himself against his enemies! Every spring I see the robins mobbing the blue-jays that go sneaking through the trees looking for eggs. The crow blackbirds nest in my evergreens, and there Is perpetual war between them and the robins The black birds devour the robins eggs, and the rollins never cease to utter their protest, often backing 1t up with blows. I saw two robins attack young blackbird in the air. and they tweaked out his feath- CTS at alively rate. z
 The past summer q pack of robins killed cuckoo near me that they found rob ling nest. I did not witness the kill ing but I have cross-questioned num- Der of people who did see it. and I am convinced of the fact. They set upon him when he was on the robins nest and left him so bruised and helpless beneath 1t that he soon died. It was the first inti- mation that I had ever had that the cuckoo devoured the eggs of other hi ds.

Timo Only for a Bath.
n Iinnlncn1f'e Marazine.

From Lipplncott's Magazine.
 Two pretty American girls had met two delightful Engishmen on the way across and had given cordial invitation. warm ly seconded by their mother, to Sir Charles and his friend to visit them at their country home.
 One day a message came saying the two men would arrive that afternoon. The family was thrown into a fever of ex- citement, and many plans of entertain- ment for their guests were suggested and abandoned It was finally decided that as Englishmen are notoriously fond of a tub" and their guests were coming di- rectly from the train, they should first be invited to take bath. After that the hostess would rely on the inspiration of the moment.
 The young men arrived promptly, and after some demurrng were hurried off to the bathroom. In about an hour they emerged and went immediately to their hostess, saying; We are sorry to leave so soon, but we only came to make call, and our train leaves in fifteen minutes"

Can Reach Agreement.

0oH hNoNi EHiSClnSIts
 "On the other hand, the bill under con- sideration expressly provides that the various railroads making up the line over which freight is shipped, after the interstate commerce commission has fixed a rate, can agree among themselves up on the apportionment thereof and if they agree the commission will have nothing to do with the apportionment of the rate. So it is readily seen that among small shippers the present bill, when en- acted into law, may bring about justice and equality In the shipment of freight and the establishment of rates, but when 1t comes to the great monopolies of this country, such as the Standard oil com pany and the beef trust, they are en- abed to go right around the law re- ceive unjust and discriminatory freight rates or allowances In their favor, by which they are enabled to crush out con- petition and build up their monopoies. and it is for this reason that I say that I am not satisfied with the bill that is presented to the House. l think we should cover all of these questions and that it should be broad enough to allow the in terstate commerce commission to regu- late the private cars and private ter- minal tracks.
 Under the rule for the consideration of this bill that has been adopted by the republican management of the House, we are prohibited from amending the bill in these particulars. We are required to vote either for or against the bill, but are not allowed to perfect it, and, as l say, believing that the bill as it now stands is better than no law at all, l shall vote for It. But I think the position Of the republican majority in this House in presenting a bill not fully covering the question, and leaving loopholes in the law that enable monopolies to continue their unjust practices should be condemned, and the country should understand that the republican majority in this House Is not fully and fairly leglsating on this question. The bill has yet to go to the Senate of the United States, and al- though the democratic minority in the House is bound and gagged, so far as it's ability to offer an amendment on these questions Is concerned, we may yet hope that the necessary amendments may be added to it in the Senate and that in the end we may secure legisla- ton broad enough and just enough to protect the people against monopolies and trusts as well as railroad discrimin- ations in freight rates" Loud ap- plause)

erowers onpose Change.

The testimony which has been presented to the Senate and House committees on iit terstate commerce as to the operation of private ear lines is attracting mucf attention from members of both houses as it is rapidly developing that there are at least three sides to the controversy. For more than week D. M Ferguson of Duluth, has been presenting the case of the commission men of his city and has been urging the abolition of prv4 ate car lines by legislation. In this he has been opposed by President George B. Robbins of the Armour ear lines, and Vice President [ J. Reichman. of one Of the leading stock car companies. Thus the issue has been joined between the representatives of certain commission men and the private car companies.
 But there is a third party to the con troversy-the slippers of fruit and stock who fear if tfe facilities now afforded by private cars be abolished by leglsla- tion their business will be irretrelvably damaged Consequently a large delega- tion of growers of Georgia peaches, Flor ida oranges, North Carolina melons, and others is in the city for the purpose of presenting their views to Congress at the first opportunity. These growers con tend that since the introduction of re- frigerator cars and the establishment of a satisfactory refrigerator system, the increase In the production of southern fruits has been phenomenal and the grow CTS feel 1t would be impractlcable and undesirable to make any radical change In the present arrangement.
 They appear before the House sub-com- mittee tomorrow and the Senate com mittee on Friday

Must Not Inflate Receipts.

When a postmaster is caught inhating the receipts of his office in order to in- crease his salary he is made to refund Tn cases where the department has granted the increase and later finds that the totals were not bona fide In decision rendered by the controller of the treas ury today this practice of the department Is upheld much to the qualification or the postofflce officials. About three years ago. the postmasters at Louisville and Indianapolis demanded and increase or salary which was declined upon the ground that their receipts had been ln- creased by local solicitation. In these cases. however. the postmasters were not guilty of any impropriety themselves. The citizens of the two cities went to work and made a red hot canvass among me business men for larger purchases or stamps The sales so increased as to war rant an increase of 5000 in both cases but after an investigation the department declined to allow It.

American Brides Reception.
2 the Topeka Capital.

From the Topeka Capital.
 Miss Minnie schlungel of Beloit went to the Philippines some time ago to marry Hoke Simpson, also of Beloit. The bride writes home that all the natives of the surrounding country met them upon their arrival at San Estaban after their mar riage at Manila and escorted them to their home In Santa Maria, a distance of four miles.
 The bride and groom rode in a two wheeled cart drawn by an OK, and their baggage was borne in carts drawn by bull teams then a cavalcade of 200 na- lives followed on foot At every house they passed the rest of the natives came out to greet them In the evening the natives gave a big reception to the bridal couple, and there were welcoming ad- dresses songs and an orchestra.

PRODUCING lssEN's PLAYS.
Some Difficulties That Are Encount-
 cred by the Manager.

 Minnie Maddern Fiske, in Harpers
 Weekly.
 To properly produce "IIedda Gabler" requires at least two years study. It would not be extravagant to say that a play like Ibsens "Rosmersholm' should occupy three years study and prepara- tion. Ibsen's plays have proved failures in some instances because stage man agers will not devote sufficient time to their study and preparation.
 In this demand upon the producer 1b- sen stands almost alone. The plays of Sardou and a great majority of modern playwrights, for instance, require no such preparation. Such plays bear the same relation to Ibsen that tuneful and sim pie melodies bear to the intricate, pur- poseful scores of Wagner. The producer of the 1bsen play must understand that the drama presented Is but one phase Of the whole story-the finale, the denou- ment The principal characters were liv- Ing their lives many years before the visible presentation, and working out the stage drama may be from childhood. To inteligently portray those characters and conditions requires an understanding Of all that has gone before. 1 le producer must delve into the childhood of these characters. and follow their lives down to the stage drama-that Is the demand Ibsen makes upon his stage director. It is necessary that he should know and be able to convey to the audience what he knows and the meaning of the drama as 1t is finally presented. The actors cannot always be asked to know the psychology of the parts or the drama as a whole-the stage manager must be In a position to explain the parts and to convey the ideas that Ibsen wishes to ex- press. This is particularly true in "Ros- mersholm" The drama is all but ended before the play begins. What we see in the play Is the final moment Maeter- linclts theories on the modern drama reveal this thought in it's fullest ex- pression

One Thing to Remember.

The man up for larceny had admitted his guilt when apprehended, but at the trial his youthful counsel defended him with great obstinacy and unnecessary brilliancy.
 "Gentlemen," said the judge, regarding the jury with 8 benevolent smile. "the prisoner says he is guilty. His counsel says he is not You must decide between them"
 Then, after an effective pause. the judge added: "There is one thing to remember, gentlemen. The prisoner was there and his counsel wasn't" .t

Wants Them to Take Vacations.

It may not be believed, but there are few clerks In the government departments in Washington who do not take their an- nual thirty days vacations. At any rate the new Commissioner of Pensions, former Congressman Warner has decreed that clerks who fail to take leave will not win favor in his sight. "I want them to take their vacations said MT Warner today ''to get out of the city and go to the country and get the fresh air I have no doubt that the aggregate work they will be able to perform will be increased"
 Mir. Warner believes he is going to make a success as Commissioner of Pen sions and is not alarmed over the hard roads his predecessors have had to travel.

REBATE QUESTION LIVE
 ISSUE AT WASHINGTON

terminal tracks. In other words great monopolistic corporation may own, and in many instances does own. 10 or i5 miles of terminal track around its plant. Here tofore these terminal tracks have belonged to the original corporation, but since the law prohibiting rebates was enacted many of these great corporations have sold these terminal tracks to railroad com panies that they incorporated and are controlled and owned by them. Now, when ear of freight is shipped over number of railroads the rate is fixed, and these railroads agree among themselves how the freight charges on the car shall be apportioned to the several railroad com panies. The monopoly owning Its own pri- vate tracks, converted into terminal rail road company says to the railroad lines over which the freight is to be shipped: You must allow us a proportion of the freight rate as our share. including the terminal railroad that belongs to the mo- nopolistic corporation.
 "In the same way that the railroads were forced to grant rebates they are now compelled to allow a night rate of freight for the few miles that the ear is hauled over the terminal tracks of the railroad that belongs to the monopoly and this. freight, in the end, goes into the pockets of the monopoistic corporation and enables it to reach the competing market at less freight rate, and under sell his competitor and drive him out of business. Now, the bill that we are con- sidering does not change the law or in any way regulate private cars or private terminal tracks. It Is eontended by those who framed the bill before the House that under a construction of the language used in section 1, which I have read. that It can be construed by the courts to apply to private cars and private terminal tracks. I do not believe the language war rants such a construction; but why leave 1t in doubt, If 1t Is honestly intended to control these monopolies? Why not use language that there can be no doubt about, and clearly make them subject to government control?
