CATTLE-Receipts of cattle We're quite
liberal tor Wednesday, tnere being u
considerable gain over one week ago and
slight increase over two weeks ago. The
fact that quite number OF the trains
were late in arriving at the yards made
the supply on sale at any one time rather
meager, besides delaying the trade. II Is
hardly necessary To ada that the receipts
consisted almost entirely OF cornfed steers,
as that has been the case all the week
the offerings OF all other kinds of cattle
having been comparatively small.
As is always the case wnen a eonsid-
cradle proportion OF the stock is late in
arriving in the yards, the market opened
slow and the morning was well advanced
before very much business was transacted.
The feeling. however, was, il anything, a
little better right at the start and the
market was anywhere from fully STEADY
to a little higher than yesterday Among
the receipts We're quite a number of loads
of well nnished beeVes, so that the sales
looked very well on paper
Cows and .heifers continue lin very light
supply, while the demand is good as
usual. This combination of circumstances
always results in a good strong market
with a reasonably active trade The offer
ings of everything changed hands in good
season in the morning.
There were few stockers on sale this
morning which brought very good prices
The fact is, desirable kinds of stock cattle
are selling very high. There were hardly
enough feeders in sight to make much of
a test OF the market, but the feeling was
good and strong.
Representative sales:
The official number of cars of stock
brought in today by each road was:

She Is a great actress in the broadest
and sanest meaning Of that term. Shc
personates women OF passion, women OF
tragic lives, women moved 10 herolc tashs Ms
through love or jealousy, self-sacrince or
revenge. She acts these characters. She
searches out the fundamental laws OF
their creation and builds her conception
therefrom. Psychology interests her only
in so far as il is by herself applicable TO
the women she understands.
And II Is because she has confined her
gelf primarily 10 characters wei withln
her range, mentally and srtistlcally, tnat
she does stand as the first actress or the
world She was born in the Latin quar-
ter OF Paris the daughter Of poor dress
maker. She has risen by the force OF the
genius that is hers 10 great heights. Al
the age OF 6l she IS supreme In the de-
liueation OF those roles which she has
made her own, and, II we can believe the
critics OF her own country, at once the
most iust and the most severe, she has es-
caped to a wonderful extent the hating
finger OF age.
The particular importance Of her local
engagement lies in the fact that IL Is the
last OF her American tours. In this In
stance the word farewell may be used
advisedly, though II has often heretofore
fallen among thieves. We would have
laughed heartily had anyone suggested
that Sir Henry Irving was saying good,
bye two years ago In Illinois. We did
laugh when Joseph Jefferson joked be-
tween acts In Powers year ago con-
cerping the efforts OF the newspapers TO
retire him.
Mime Bernhardt is n wonderful woman,
az we'll as a wonderful actress, and there
are likely many years OF abundant life
before her But it IL still well that we
DO seriously consider this her farewell TO
America. for II is not probable that she
will come again.

Clyde Fitch is noted for his wonderful
attention to minor details in all OF his
productions. HIS stage homes are always
filled with those seemingly unimportant
trifies that reflect the taste. and, In many
cases, the character. OF persons In real
life, In none OF his plays is this more APP
parent than In THE Woman In the Case,
which Blanche Walsh is playing al the
opera house for the first three nights OF

care and attention Is at once apparent
