WHAT MAUD ADAMS FINED FOR.
Her Supreme Wish as a Little Girl
 Was to Be a Circus Rider.

Maude Adams believes in pirates and in MT Barrie, who wrote Peter Pan," but not in fairies. At least, writes Philip Hale in the Boston Herald, so understood her last week.
 Fairies, she said, are only the po- |etic expression of ones thoughts. Our own longings and desires shape and give beauty and radiance. The air knows no gracious or malignant beings and there are no witches on the blasted heath or in Tea Kettle Hollow.
 As a child Miss Adams was aware that the external fairy died long ago. She is not a Celt. She could not say of the "good people," the fairy family" as did the man with a Mohawk tattooed upon his arm to Mir Yeats: They stand to reason"
 Now in Peter Pan" the child Liza is the author of the play. Is 1t prob able that little girl dreaming a drama would see these pirates? Do little girls ever play at pirates?
 Miss Adams shook her head. She said that little girl in her sports thought chiefly of glorifying herself; that she would not brook the thought of dominating pirate. A little girl Is so restricted in her own life that in an imaginative flight she would see herself the heroine. but not as pirate, nor would she imag- inc herself as captive bound.
 When Miss Adams herself was little girl. as she told me. her su- preme wish was to be bareback rider in circus, nor would she have been deterred if she had been told the story of 1sabel's sister Blanca. who rode "an immortal spotted horse" She is fond of melodrama and prefers 1t piping hot.

DOTS AND CROSSES.

q find," said the middle aged man. ''that am now, in writing, more Inclined to leave the dots on my Is and the crosses on my t's.
 "Once when 1 was myself more pre- else, such omissions seemed to me to indicate slovenliness or undue haste on the part of writer. and SO they might reveal lack of proper consideration for the person address, ed: but now when l find that am myself falling in to such ways have feeling of greater lenicncy toward those whom I once thought offending
 Now 1t no longer seems to me that failure to dot our Is and cross our t's indicates carelessness or indiffer- ence; 1t may show simply an effort to save time, on the part of writer hurried. or a philosophical desire to avoid the waste of time. the most valuable of all things to us. and the only thing that is allotted to all men without regard to worth or capacity, in absolutely equal and inalienable shares.
 And SO now. if I get from a friend a letter without all the Is and ts duly dotted and crossed 1t may not ipdi- cate that he Is careless himself or fhoughtless of me. but that he values time. and trusts me not to be offend cd that he writes to me In his accus- toned way.
 AS we grow older time. which we 90 thoughtlessly waste in our youth. becomes more and more precious to us. Fortunately for us. however we never. realize how little of 1t we now have left. else we should worry over that: and 90. as we grow older-lf blessed with good health-we find more and more joy in existence.
 ''so 1t is in my growing years and keener knowledge of the value of time that I find one reason for my dropping my dots and crosses. but I am inclined to think after all that the controlling reason for this Hes m our common later life tendency to make less of details. As we grow older we come to discover that principles are the things not the million petty de tails.
 "Tf youth. with our narrower vis- Ion. an details are important to us. and they may seem nli important: their puncfilious observance may then constitute for us our main duty. but as VIC rrow older and take . broader view we are likely to smile and per hsps to wonder over the time VIC wanted snd the worries we once Esve ourselves over innumersble things that seemed to us of inuportance- but that really were of no account at all As we srow older we gain inst great advantage in iife-a frceiom and power likely to cone to us only ss the result Of observation and exper- Ience-an ability to ret along vithcut worrying over trife<-

NANCE o'NEIL.

It is many years since Waterbury has had such a notable Christmas attraction as Miss Nance O'Neil who will appear in two performances here on Tuesday afternoon and evening. Sudermann's great play, Mazda, will be seen in the afternoon and Sardou's spectacular drama of the Spanish inquisition will be the even ing attraction. Ever since Nance O'Neil became the subject of general conversation, speculation has been rife as to whether or not the name of the distinguished young American 'tragedienne was her own. It is not. But, 1t Is said that the actress posi- lively declines to make known her own name. The history of the pie turesque assumed name Is unique. When the actress was about to make her first appearance, Mckee Rankin asked what name should be used on the program. The young girl sug- gested that the veteran manager sug- gest one. MT Rankin, after mo- ment's meditation, hit upon happy combination. He christened her Nance, after Nance Oldfield. the most celebrated comedienne of the eigh- teenth century, and O'Neil. after Eliza O'Neil, an equally celebrated tragedienne of the same period. Price are 25, 50, 75, $1 and $1.50. Sale of seats Saturday, December 22. No free list Tel 1084.

of the chamber of commerce, un-
scathed 1t had been feared that Mr..
Stephens had met an untimely fate in
the great holocaust.
Frank Virgins, secretary of the
chamber, was so overjoyed to see his
old friend that he hugged him like

Every Los Angeles man, woman and
child, as far as l know, is all right"
was the first assurance Mr.. Stephens
gave his friends. II saw Uncle Billy
Workman and a large number of Los
Angeles people both on the morning of
the earthquake and just before | left
San Francisco last night. AS far as |
can learn no Los Angeles person was
even injured.
But it is terrible-terrible. There
are no words in the English language
that can paint the horror of it all. The
loss of property can only be estimated
in the hundred millions. But the loss
of life has been greatly exaggerated I'm

of flames clear to Green Hill, also

could reach.'
All boats going across the bay are
crowded with destitute passengers and
trains OH Southern Pacific are also
crowded with people fleeing from the
stricken city. Refugees are receiving

r. ]. Strum of San Francisco was one
of the broken-hearted passengers who
knows not whether his family of six is
alive or dead. The Arno hotel, 755 Ellis
street, was partially destroyed by the
first earthquake. Mr.. Strum said:
II was in bed at the time and fell
through two stories. l was then res
cued by ropes which were stretched
from what remained of the building to
the ground. The building was totally
destroyed by fire and have not the
slightest idea whether my wife and
mother and four children are alive or
not. They may have possibly reached
the hills, but 1 am under the impression
that they perished."
Mr.. Strum will make his home here
for the present.

ACTORS HAVE AN
AWFUL EXPERIENCE
IN EARTHQUAKE

II. Tates, who with a company of
eight people has "a motoring act on the
Orpheum circuit, said:
THE crash of shattering glass and
the thunder of falling plaster was what
aroused me on the morning of the San
Francisco hC"ror.
"All the properties for my act, which
was to show in Los Angeles in two
weeks, were destroyed.
THE fire after the earthquake had
ceased devastated the city. Although
the damage done by the earthquake
was tremendous, that done by the fire
which followed was so much greater
that the former shrinks to unimportant
size"

of the company with which Mr.. Gates
is connected, was on the special train
His story was substantially the same
as that of Mr.. Tates. All the troupe
are from London, England.

ONLY FOUR OUT
OF 112 EMPLOYEES
ARE HEARD FROM

Thomas G. Greer has received word
from Ed Wayman, manager of the
California Electric works at San Fran
cisco. stating that the entire building
is intact.
The building is located at 642 Folsom
street and is the only building left In
that district.
Mr.. Wayman says the structure
stands out like a monument in a desert,
as all around in every direction as fa.' :
as the eye can reach other buildings
are mass of ruins.
OF the one hundred and twelve en-
ployes of the California Electric corr
pany at San Francisco only four have
been heard from.
Mr.. Greer has failed TO hear any It'd
ings of John Cole, the Pacific coast rep
resentative of the American Circular
Loom company, and fears are en-
teratined that he has been killed.
