Maxine Elliott, who has taken a
house in London and will leave the
stage for a time to enjoy social life,
is famous as an actress and also for
her beauty. Miss Elliott, who, upon
the stage, retains her maiden name,
under which she became famous, is
the wife of Nat C. Goodwin, to whom
she was married in 1898. She was
born in Rockland, Me-, and was but 16
when she first appeared on the stage.
Her serious work, however, did not
begin until 1890, when she became as
ISOLATED with f. S. Willard. Subse-
quently she became a member of Days
company and rapidly won dis
tinction, which has been enhanced by
her performance in her husbands com
pany. Dramatically and socially she
is a great favorite in both the United
States ana England.

Fairbanks, Wash, March 81 James
.McMullen, who returned from the
Kushkoqiin recently, tells one Of the
most narrowing talesSof the suffering OF
Indians in that district ever heard in
Alaska. n
According to McMullen. one Indian,
his squaw and two children lived some
distance from any human labitation,
He depended upon what game he could
kill for his food, and not finding the
moose and cariboo as plentiful as usual
he finally found himself on the verge OF
starvation. g. h.
Becoming insane through the pangs
Of hunger, he one day killed his squawa
and in the most cold d-blooded manner
proceeded to eat the body.
When he realized what he had. done
he evidently was afraid to conlrnaili
cate with any Of either his own people
or the prospectors who are in the coui-
try, and JIM a aSshort time was confronted
with the same situation as before.
Then the two little children met the
same fate as the mother The Indian
then made his way TO the camp Of some
other Indians where he told Of his
crime. sS5 NJ a M
