given Friday evening, May -. 1t has
been a general desire on the part of
many to hear and meet Mr.. Hatfield,
and a committee from the Los Angeles
Fellowship have consequently arranged
for the lecture above mentioned. Mr.
Hatfield has spent seven years in the
study of meteorology. He claims that
he can produce rain any season of the
year at will, and as. perhaps no one
subject is of more interest to the peo-
pie of Southern California than that oe
sufficient moisture to produce crops
there doubtless will be a large number
of people present to hear the lecture.
The second lecture in the series by
Rev. ]. M. A. Spence of Green Bay,
Wis, which was postponed, will be
given this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Sub
ject, "Objections to Socialism Mr..
Spence is a magnetic speaker and a
deep student of economic subjects.
The joint debate which is to be given
by the law department of the Univer-
sity of Southern California and the
young mems club of the Los Angeles
Fellowship will take place early in
May. "Female Suffrage is to be the
subject, the affirmative by the Young
Mems club and the negative by the

November /. After two weeks here
she will visit Chicago, st, Louis and
other western cities and then return
to Paris. All the appearances will be
in standard plays, and will include
Camille" "Frou Frou' and article
Forty-seven, as well as two new
plays. The organization will include
many noted players who have long sup
ported Madame Bernhardt and others
who will be recruited in Paris.
"Alice Sit-by-the- Fire" the latest
play written by j. M. Barrie was pro-
duced at the Duke of Yorks theater,
London, April 5. 1t is described as a
clever and amusing burlesque satirizing
the problem play, play writing and the
management of parents by twentieth
century children. Ellen Terry appeared
i'm the title role, which is peculiarly
suited to her. She played with the
force and charm of twenty years ago,
Irene Vanbrugh as her daughter was
no less successful. The play was pre-
ceded by a curtain-raiser also by MIR.

Rernhardt Versus DuSe

The Gil Bias of Paris announces that
a GOODNESS has arisen between Sarah
Bernhardt and Eleanor Duse, and thus
accounts for it: When last Signora
Duse acted in Paris Madame Bernhardt
lent her her theater. But six months
ago an installment of Bernhardts
memoirs appeared which contained
criticisms on Duse's art When, ac-
cordingly, Madame Bernhardt offered
her theater to the Italian actress,
Signora Duse wrote to her:
"Never will forget your hospitality.
You had accustomed me then to
gentle intimacy, which on my part had
become a deep and respectful affection.
Alas! why, oh. why, madame, can my
heart no longer now go out to yours?
/ cannot ignore the opinion expressed
by you on my art. | can neither ignore
nor accept nor forget it, for one does
not wish to forget what sets vibrating
in one ones most fruitful energies.
on the other hand, the remembrance OF
your artistic judgment on me must
not cause me TO forget your carly kind
ness towards me. | keep both the
memory of the one thing and the men,
ory of the other thing. l pray you to
remember on your part madame, my
unlimited admiration for you and my
endless ratitude.-Eleanora Duse."
All of which means that Signora Duse
can no longer act in the Theater Sarah
Bernhard because Madame Sarah ad-
versely criticised her acting.

CHUTES-NaudeNlue'
N example Of successful versa
n tility in this age of speciaIism Is
a presented in r.. n. Sothern,
painter, poet, actor and dramatist.
What can he accomplished by one man,
comparatively young at that, whose
hunger for work is only second to his
ability and ambition. appears consid-
erable viewed by the wide range of his
accomplishment. The elder Sothern
construed the bent of his sons taste
for painting, so he was occupied out
side of his collegiate course with the
sketching pad and palette. When he
had achieved the domineering age of
eighteen he sent picture to the judges
Of the Royal academy, London, for a
scholarship prize. That august body,
that has advanced number of curl
osities in art and rejected others that
found fame elsewhere, turned down the
sothern picture, whereupon he cast
aside his brush and pencils and set sail
for America and joined his fathers
company. This was in 1879.
While the young man was labortously
making his way as an actor he found
time to write his first play. He not
only wrote it. but designed the ad-
vertising and acted the leading role.
This play was afterward presented
by Louis Harrison and John Gourley
in New York, under the name of DO
nestle Earthquakes" In 1883 he wrote
another farce called "a Lock of Hair"
that was quite successful in England
His last play on the emotional order
was written for his wife, Virginia
Harmed. and he Is at present engaged
upon a romantic poetic play.
His pen has been busy for several
years past, as the pages or many of
the best publications show. He has
fine fancy and a grace in poesy that
has had an outlet in the Century ana
similar magazines, and his fruitful
fancies and observations have found
play i'm short stories; while essays of
philosophic character indicate culti-
waited, active mind. At special mat
inee last season the entire program
was made up of selections from his
pen. on this occasion Cecilia Lotus
appeared in monologue written for
the day and Margaret Ellington now
Mrs. Daniel Frohmam rendered dra"
matization he made for her from Ste
phenson's "Markheim.'
Sothern in his literary style is gentle
forceful and poetic, as exhibited i'll
everything he writes, and in sketch
of Joseph jefferson he said: THE art
of Jefferson does not strike you in the
face and demand your approval or
your life. It reaches out across the
footlights and puts its arms arouni
your neck, draws you closer to its
heart and comforts you. What gen
tie art the art of acting is when prac-
ticed by gentlefolk.'
While devoting his life to art in
all it's branches, Sothern has not let
his own character become narrowed or
forgotten. He is beloved by his pro-
fession, by whom he has become knoWn
as a man of refinement and modesty'

Pittsburg. Pa. oct. 20-Investigation
into the condition of the Enterprise

beyond doubt that the institution was
conducted by the now deceased cashier.

known to the directors.
From a representative OF the bank It
is learned that since the investigation

brought to the attention Of the directors
which they never saw before. Among
these papers are two notes bearing the
name OF w. II. Andrews. who has
stated positively that he had no papers
in the bank. 1t IS also said that there
Is note for $4,000 bearing the name
OF Senator Penrose. It is said the

There seems no doubt that the direct
ors were simply puppets, worked by
Clark TO serve his own ends and those
OF the deals and men he represented.
In some quarters, Il Is alleged, that the

WATSON AND MATLACK GUILTY,
DONOHOE DECLARED NOT GUILTY

willing to submit the case to the court
without argument. but Attorney Cen
eral Richards said there were some
matters he wished TO call the courts
attention to and that Deputy Attorney
General Hastings would make the
argument for the State
Mr. Renhardt said he would be satis-
fed with ten minutes. but the state
would not agree to that. Mr.. Hastings
said he could say all he desired to say
in one hour. The court agreed to give
each side an hour.
In opening his argument Mr.. Hast
ings said he would argue that Matlack
was guilty and that he had cases bear
/ ing on the positions of Watson and
Donohoe. which he would call the
courts attention to. If Matlack is not
guilty he says neither is Watson nor
Donahoe.
Mr.. Hastings scored a strong point in
his argument when he told the court
the result Of a tabulation of the ballots
in the box. The only way the change
could have been made he said was to
place certain other ballots in the box.
Continuing on this point he said:
There is where they made fatal
mistake. They should have changed
them all. I have counted those ballots
and with the exception of the candi-
dates where there have been contests
have found discrepancies. The ballots
vary all the way from / vote to 2s from
the certificates"
MIR. REINHARDT OBJECTED.
Mr.. Reinhardt objected to this declar-
ing the Deputy Attorney General had
no right to testify. but the court said
the ballots were in evidence and allow
ed Mr. Hastings to continue.
Mr.. Hasting read to the court the
! figures ON the certificate and the re-
count Of the ballots which was as fol-
lows:

for Galloway and the count of the bal
lots only showed H. which made a diff

Mr.. Hastings said that while it was
true that the defendants had all proved

testimony was worth less in a case like
this than in any other case. He sait
