A FRIGHTENED ACTRESS.
When Mallbran Ran For Her Lii
From Her F0fhhAr

When Mallbran Ran For Her Life
From Her Father.
Malibran was on exceptional woman
as we'll as great singer, and she had
an interesting and spontaneous tenn
permanent. The daughter of Garcia,
she had a harsh and difficult master in
her own father.
When she was sixteen he one day
came to her room and without any
kind of preparation said to her, "You
will make your first appearance with
me on Saturday in 'Otello.'"
It gave her exactly six days for prep
aration. The child, terrified nearly into
speechlessness, stammered that she
could not possibly do it-what he asked
was impossible. But Garcia could take
no contradiction. All he answered
was: you'll make your first appear
ance on Saturday, and be perfect. If
not, in the last scene, when am sup
posed to plunge my dagger into your
breast, I'll do so in real earnest"
The frightened girl had to make the
best Of It, Her success was absolute,
but one little piece of realism in her
acting at the end was a delicious
though entirely unconscious piece Of
retaliation upon her father for rather
brutal method. Her Desdemona had
been exquisite; she had made her what
she was herself, a child, innocent and
submissive and adoring.
But in the last act, when Othello
strobe toward her with uplifted dag
ger, la Malibran, truly frightened out
of her wits, ran away from him and
made for windows and doors, frantic
ally trying to escape. When her father
at last caught hold Of her, so real had
the whole thing become that selling
the hand with which he was supposed
to murder her, she bit it till it bled.
Garcia gave cry Of pain, which the
audience took for a cry of rage, and the
act ended in deafening applause for
father and daughter.
The incident reveals la Malibran.
She was never, in one sense Of the
word, an actress at all. There was no
studied counterfeit of emotions, but a
woman with an extraordinary power
Of losing herself in the emotions Of
others-T. P.'s Weekly.

FORCED.TO. EAT BOOKS.

Human Beings Who Were Compelled
to Devour Literature.
Among the causes that contribute to
the destruction Of books, says an Ital-
ian writer, America Scarlatti,' there is
one very curious one that may be called
bibliophagia. No reference is intended
to the mice that once destroyed in
England an entire edition of Castelrs
Lexicon HeptaglOtton," but to human
beings who have literally devoured
books.
In 1870 Barnabo Visconti compelled
two papal delegates to eat the bull of
accommodation which they had
brought him, together with its silken
cords and leaden seal. AS the bull was
written on parchment, says the Scien-
tific American, not paper, it was all the
more difficult to digest. .-.< i:
A similar anecdote was related by
Oelrich In his 'Dissertatio de Biblio-
thecarum ct Librorum Fatis'' Q756) OF
an Austrian general who had signed q
note for 1900 forms and when it fell
due compelled his creditors to eat it..
The Tartars, when books fall into
their possession, eat them that they

in them. ,. e" = =

THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

THE PEOPLES CHOICE.
In spite Of the fact that there
are seven candidates struggling
for the republican nomination for
governor and a large host of active
candidates for several other
places on the republican ticket,
the preconvention campaign has
been marked by the deepest
apathy on the part of the people.
Only the politicians have been
stirring; the large mass of voters
have refused to take any interest
in the matter. They did not go
to the caucuses, nor have they
displayed any interest in the out
come of the county conventions.
Yet the people are today, as a
general rule, more interested in
public questions than they have
been for many a year. What is
the reason, then, for this apathy
in Minnesota?
The answer is not difficult to
find if one takes the trouble to
sound the people. They are satis-
fed with the present governor,
John A. Johnson, and are ready
to vote for him again. He has
given the state a good business
administration. In his choice Of
subordinates he has been careful
to select the best men, regard
less Of political affiliations. He
was elected by the people regard
less of political parties and he
has wisely recognized this fact
in his official doings. He has
represented the people, not the
demOcfaUlc parry.
So well has he done his work,
so careful has he been in all his
actions that the only thing the
republican politicians can bring
up against him is that he lately
spoke a good word for Bryan.
If this attack is justified, then
the republicans should also
severely condemn President
Roosevelt, for he has also lately
been guilty of speaking very
good word for a prominent demo-
crat-John A. Johnson. John
son should also be condemned by
the democrats on the same
grounds, for in the same inter-
view in which he mentioned the
Nebraskan favorably he also ex-
tolled the most prominent repub-
lican of this day-Theodore
Roosevelt.
The fact of the matter is that
party lines are disappearing.
People are voting. for men, not
party names. Democratic Mis-
souri, voted for Roosevelt and
Folk, one a republican and the
other a democrat. The demo-
Gratis of Wisconsin refused to
take advantage of the republican
split, and helped reflect La Fol
lette against one of the most
popular democrats of their state.
Republicans and democrats in
Pennsylvania helped each other
in electing a prohibitionist over
a corrupt republican. This spirit
of independence is the most en-
couraging sign of the times. =
Johnson has ''made good" as
governor. He enjoys the respect
and confidence of the people, and
they are not going to kick him
out just because the politicians
snap the party whip. A good
record counts for more than a
party label these days.
Hence the people are quietly
attending to their work while the
politicians are working them
selves into fever fits over the
Question of who shall have the
empty honor of heading the re:
pu blican ticket this fall. ~>

nearly 3,0O0, 900 tons and employ 5000
men.
During the week they have had their
