and left early this morning for her home
in Washington. Miss Patterson was great

few ladies in the house left before the
performance was half over, although
much that was Objectionable was ex-
purged by the manager of the local the
atre.
Miss Patterson made a miserable sholg-
ing, indicating plainly by her actions that
she was terribly worried and i'll at ease.
The majority of the spectators excused
her performance in the belief that she
was ILL.,
Miss Patterson consented to a brief in
terview before she boarded a train for
the east. in which she said with tears
in her eyes and voice broken:
Il am awfully sorry the people have he
ceived me so unkindly and treated me
50 discourteously. When l went on the
stage I believed to be doing right, for
l mean to do the right thing. The stage
is my profession, and I have no other
means to pay the many debts have con-
tracted. But l would rather do anything

more kindly" she added brokenly. when
l signed a contract everything looked 50
bright to me after my dreadful experience
and I had not the least idea it would
turn out as it has"
When asked as to her future course
she said:

ton. At some future time. when people
learn to think better of me, may again
resume my profession on the stage"

YOUNG MEXICO LEARNING ENG
LiSH.

Mexican Herald-The enthusiastic
interest shown here by great classes
of young worldngmen who are study
ing Englisa is sign OF the times.
Spanish is to remain the language of
Mexico but English is a useful ac-
QUESTION in these modern days. No
body compels these students to study
English, out such is their earnestness
that the classes are crowded, and if a
master gives an extra nour any even
ing the young men attend in undimiu-
fshed numbers. There is more In this
than appearts at rst glance. What it
really means is that In busy crowd
CT young Mexicans, all working hard
for a living, there Is a desire for in
structi0n whlon equals that Of a SINH
lar number Of young Japanese. The
liberality of the government in provid-
ing instructors in English is most com
meldable. In fact, the Mexican gov
eminent has never failed to recognize
talent. and has educated abroad many
oft he most brilliant young men OF the
nation. with the result that no little
trained talent Is now at the service of
the country. The liberal example of
the federal government has been fol-
lowed by many state governments,
and today. in this country, no young
man of ambition ami clearly indicated
genius need fear of losing the chance
Of good education. The policy of
Urasidauf MAJ since ne came TO mower
has been to open the door TO talent;
M man in all America has done more
for popular education, and he has per-
sonally encouraged the best brains of
Young Mexico. 1t is this great work
that viii be his most enduring claim
upon the gratitude of lac new nation
