OLGA NETHERsOLE AS
STAGE PRODUCER.


It is several years ago since Olga
ed and popular actress throughout the
length and the breadth of the land,
first came to Pittsburg, almost un-
heralded and actually unknown. Her
Pittsburg debut was made at the
Alvin theater. The promise of her
consummate art was instantly recOg-
nized by the local critical fraternity
and the public, and before the middle
of her week here Miss Nethersole's
acting was the talk of Pittsburg.
From that time on the actress ap-
pearances here, whether they were
annual or few and far between, have
always been eagerly looked forward
to by lovers of good acting and high
dramatic art, and it Is no small won
der to hear that there are evidences
in plenty that Miss Nethersole's COM
ing to the Nixon this week will attract
apprec!ative audiences. The public
may be relied upon to exercise its
good Judgment and appreciate that
which is good for it's amusement. Miss
NethersOle Is evidently an artist who
exemplifies that trite saying that
genius is an infinite capacity for TAX
ing pains, for the actress spares no
time nor labor to complete her eff
forts and crown them with success.
Take, for instance. the management of
her stage. Here her influence is keen
ly felt, for she is paramount Not on
ly does she design her scenery, select
colors for costumes, choose furnish
ings and attend to the numerous other
things that are necessary for the pre-
sentation of her plays, but she also
rehearses her company, selects the
artists and, If occasion require, in
structs them as to how their parts
should be played-all of this, of
course, in addition to the by no means
small labor entailed upon her in the
studying of and development of her
own part, which is usually the long
est part in the play.
In Nethersole stage production
there is an atmosphere of naturalness
and intimacy that is not frequently
discoverable in productions by others.
The secret of this lies in the fact that
everything registers and reflects the
touch of woman, inspired by the
sense of an artist. This touch invests
the most commonplace property or in
cident with a glamour that is ire
sistible, and her audience is conscious
Of 1t directly the curtain rises, al
though 1t would be impossible for 1t
to give reason for it. If ever there
was past mistress of stagecraft that
one is Olga Nethersole.

NAVAL FORCES NEGLECTED.
No Memorial at Vicksburg to Indicate
the Part They Took

Comment IL being made in naval circles
because of the absence Of any memorial
in the Vicksburg National Military Park
to mark the services rendered by the naval
forces In the important engagement which
caused the park to be established. Atten-
ton Is called to the fact that Gen. Grant
has written that without the navy Yicks-
burg could not have been captured with
twice the number of men engaged.
1t Is pointed out that volunteer forces
from fourteen northern states were en-
gagged at Vicksburs and that every south
ern state was represented Kentucky and
Missouri furnishing troops on both sides.
1t Is then stated that state legislatures
have appropriated literally for the erection
OF monuments and memorials to the vol
unteer soldiers, but that the naval forces
belonged to a national organisation and
whatever action Is taken toward telling the
story of the part they took must be by
Congress
1t Is urged that suitable monuments
should be erected in the park to commem-
crate the valor and valuable services rem
dered by the navy and attention Is called
to the gallant fight made by the Confeder-
ate ram Arkansas against heavy odds and
that the Union navy under Admiral Porter
continued the early efforts of Foote and
Davis at more northern points and closed
ironciads and a feet of rams and mortar
vessels made certain Grants success.
1t Is insisted upon behalf of the naval
forces engaged In the Vicksburg campaign
that history as told by shafts and tablets
in the Vicksbug National Military Park
win be incomplete if Congress does not
make provision for monuments or memoir
iais which viii tell to the thousands OF
visitors to the park the part taken by ths
navy FL conjunction with the land forces.

States Cause of Fire.

Mr.. Henry c. Craft stated today that the
published account OF the fire which oc-
CURED yesterday at the home of his son.
George c. Craft. was incorrect in some
particulars. Mr.. Craft states that in the
upper back room of his sons home, where
the fire started. and where 1t was subdued
by the heroic efforts of neighbors before
the arrival of the fire department, Mrs.
Craft. his sons wife. was engaged In clean
ing. and was busting the keyboard of a
haf- finished ORGAN. The keys were made
Of celluloid. and IT Is supposed and gener-
ally believed that match had accidentally
lodged between the keys, and that the
pressing of the keys ignited the match. In
less time. he said. than one can tell 1t, the
entire keyboard was ablaze, the flames
reaching the ceiling.
With wonderful presence of mind Mrs.
Craft picked up a jug OF benzine. and rush.
Ing to the front window. threw 1t into the
front yard Returning to the back room.
she seized the children. aged two and four
years respectively. and conveyed them to
a place of safety.
The small quantity OF benzine remaining
in the basin she was using. Mr.. Craft states.
cut no figure. and had 1t not been tor the
celluloid there would have been no fire. The
impression that seems to prevail that there
was careless use Of the fluid is not JUS
tilted. The condition Of the baby, who
was burned. Is improyfng.

the plan proposed contemplates the com
pletion of the tunnel for about one-half Its
length and for construction Of the conduit
to carry the waters in straight line. This,
Il is stated. will greatly diminish the length
of the tunnel. and 1t Is estimated that the
cost of the work will be about $65o,00o.
Against this is balanced the cost of a
bridge at Q street (about s150.00O and the
expense of ultimately constructing bridge

construction of the conduit the actual car
