here today it was suTmised by the
Russian army. Jan. 4. from the cheer

the entire line, when cries of "Banzai!'

ated no surprise because the army had
become accustomed to the possibility
of Port Arthur's fall from before the
battle of Lao Yang and since. While
concerned at the disaster, the Rus
slams are lost in admiration of the
wonderful and unexampled defense.
Although the deaths of Generals
FOck and kOndratenko were not pub
nshed here. the facts regarding Fock
had been accepted for six weeks, and
the condition OF Port Arthur was
known throughout The authorities
here as early as Dec. % denied that
relief vessels had successfully run the
blockade, as reported, and candidly adj
mitted the desperation of the heroic
defenders The Russians regarded the

Some Actor stories,

Tom Lewis, who is now famous as the
detective in Little Johnny Jones" was for
many years a shining light in minstrelsy.
The other night at the College Inn Tom
was telling a crowd of friends some Of his
early experiences. 81 suppose some of you
have been to Petersburg, Va, remarked
Lewis. well, this happened there. Now
II there is a hot hole on earth on a hot day,
Petersburg is r. 1 was with the George
Wilson minstrels at the time, and we had
a manager who loved to do more walking
on a street parade than any other man l
ever knew. Well, this was one of Peters
burg's hottest days and after passing down
the main street on parade we turned to the
left and was soon lost to view in the
suburbs Of the town. All the boys were
dead sore, still our manager, who headed
the parade, kept on walking in an absent
minded way till we must have been mile
from town, and for ten minutes had not
passed a living soul. Finally a man hove
in view and In open-eyed amaEement viewed
us as we approached AS we got alongside
he yelled at Daniels. for that was our man
ayers name:
"Hl there, Mister, what society is this

wouldn't be here yelled back to him.
II thought So" he shouted at us. The
picnic grounds is two miles further out.
Keep straight ahead till you come to the
mile post and turn to the right
This seemed to wake Daniels out of his
trance. With streaming faces and dusty
clothes we were soon back at the hotel.
But we were known as The Sons of Poor
Parents ever afterward, and that is what
every minstrel show is called by the natives
when they go to Petersburg, Va"
Mansfield still loves his surprises, and he
is more and more generous with them.
Four months ago 1t was Moliere's 'Misan-

he told US that he was making both ready.
A few weeks later he repeated the surprise
by his fidelity to the play and by the power
and pungency OF his acting in his own part
of Alceste. For next year he has been
limiting at king Lear" Macbeth" a
dramatizetion of a novel and half a dozen
other plays. Now Schiller's Don Carlos"
