Those who are her conf1dants say
that she has neither envy nor blame
for those who have benefited by the
misfortune that has made her poor,
and who, after the death of James
Fisk, fought to drag from the grasp
Of the widow the fortune that he left.
There are but few of the things that

Miss Knott is great favdrite with
the local theatre goers and she was
given an enthusiastic reception. Ev-
erys person in the big cast was ad-
mirably fitted to his part and the pro-
duction was even better staged than
when Julia Marlowe starred in the
drama, as the wilful and lovable
Mary Tudor" Mr.. Earnest Has
tings as "Charles Brandon made
a splendid impression. He is a finish
ed actor and created the role of the
"Minister" in "Lovers Lane"
When Miss Knott was seen in her
dressing room at the close of the sec
ond act she was ,beaming with the re-
ception that had been rendered her.
"Monday night we played in
Shelbyville, Mr.. Majors home town,
and as it was the first time, "When
Knighthood Was In Flower had
ever been produced in that city, you
can perhaps imagine the crowds that
attended. We had to give a special
matinee. In the evening I was call
ed before the curtain eight times and
Mr.. Major was obliged to make a
speech. He paid me the warmest
tribute, stating that I had succeeded
in getting beauty out Of the book
than he ever imagined was in it.

happy life. A newer face, not more

of the man. A new nest was fur

The work of Lawrence Alberta at

cided feature of the bill. Alberta is
cannon ball -jusgler, equilibrist,
balancer and wire hair marvel who
does much more for his turn than any
one might reasonably expect Of him.
He has no trouble in lifting from
five hundred to eight hundred pounds
and seems to suffer no Inconvenience
while two men support themselves by
his hair. He swings a two-hundred
pound cannon ball around by his
teeth throwing it over his head and
back. Alberta is a very large man,
and his strength is fully in proper
ton to his size and more so. 1t has
not been customary for him to play

MENTIONS VISIT TO CHINA
Solicited Gift of Tiger Robe Charac-

Washington, May 4.-Robert Nj. Nc
Wade, former consul general at Can
ton. China. made a statement yesterday
before the house committee on for
eien affairs. which may lead to an in
vestigation of Third Assistant Secre-
tary of State II. d. II. Peirce, who
is to be nominated as United States
minister to Norway.
Inspected ConsuIates.
Mr.. Peirce was the official who made
a tour of inspection of the consulates
in the orient as result of which Nc
Wade was dismissed. McWade told
the committee the assistant secretary
was in Canton only As hours, and in
that time he secured possession of a
handsome tiger skin rug which belong
ed to McWade and which Peirce inti-
mated he would like to have. This in
timation was coupled with the assur-
ance. McWade further claimed, that he
need have no further fear concerning
charges made against him.
Tiger Skin Is Returned.
McWade stated lest night that when
he returned 70 his home after the com
mittee had finished with him he found
the tiger skin rug, and attached to if
was the card OF Mr.. Peirce. The latter
was unwilling TO make a statement in
answer to McWade, but it is under
stood that he feels the consul is try
ing merely to get even. and insists he
has no apprehension of an investiga-
ton.

"ASTOUNDED" EXPECT
FULL VINDlCATlON

New York, May 4.-When the presi-
dents message with the accompanying
report of Commissioner Garfield was
received at the Office of the Standard
Oil company, the general counsel of
the company, Elliott, was asked what
reply he cared to make. He said:
Requires Restraint.
1T is difficult to comment hurriedly
and with due restraint on the aston
ishing report of Garfield and the mes
sage of the president. We must, how
ever, in justice to ourselves and our
shareholders, Immediately express our
unbounded surprise over Garfield's re-
port on which of course the presidents
statements are based and our unquali-
fed declaration that it is absolutely
unfair and unjust toward us.
Expects yindicatiOn.
I'VE don't hesitate for a moment to
say an unprejudiced study of the facts
presented by us to Garfield's investiga-
tors will vindicate us absolutely"

butes of governmental canal digging.
But it would not be fair to leave the
zone until we have talked with some of
the minor officials concerning one or
two interesting subjects that so far
have been overlooked. l was asked
today whether l had an official letter
of introduction from President Roose-
yelt. Three scribes who have imme-
diately preceded me in the investiga-
ton CD of canal affairs carried with
them letters that read, substantially,
as follows:

Government, and especially OF the
Isthmian Canal Commission on the
Isthmus of Panama:

cerning what has been done and what
is being done on the canal. desire
that he be told the whole truth, no
matter whether it hurts or not; and so
long as it is the truth, and not DIS
torted. | shall see that no man is harm-
ed for telling it.

to a dozen officials to whom such let
ters had been shown by my predeces-

lows: -,

they are promptly classified as ''sore-
