Because she was booked to play

Yes" she replied.
She played there against the ad-

Immersed in Oriental Lore

As We walked together the press
agent told me of Miss O'Neirs new
home at Iyngsboro, Mass. 1t is a
manor house that was built in 1850
upon the site of the residence of Ed
ward Tying, one of the founders of the
Old Bay commonwealth, and the es-
tate consists of more than 200 acres.
Miss O'Neil has expended a deal of
money IN restoring the colonial deco

The press agent said nothing to
either Of us.
She told me of how the April thing
upset her plans for this season. In
a warehouse on Mission street were
stored the scenery and costumes for

which she intended to tour India. and
all were consumed by FIRE.
"Sothern and Marlowe soon start

were erected between Nance

stellar career No garrulous ingenue

human outposts.
The press agent of the Novelty

recommended me TO the kindly con-
sideratiOn OF the gentleman who acts
in a similar capacity for the lady her
SELF. and he, after some hesitancy,
escorted me to the apartment Of her
manager, Mckee Rankin. on the first
floor of the Hotel Jefferson. Mr..
Rankin was attired en- neglige and his
mood was not uitra-amiable. for the
Southern Pacific had delayed the ar
rival of himself and company until
too late to open their engagement at
the Novelty the previous evening.
But he dissembled his chagrin to the
extent of acoeding TO my request that
Miss O'Neil be asked TO chat for
publication.
Nance" he shouted into a tele-
phone, ''have you time to talk to a
newspaper man.
The inaudible response led to my
being taken TO the second floor by
the press agent. where we found Miss
O'Neil pensivcly surveying from her
chamber window the rain drizzle and
the mud-bespattered traffic on Turk
street. After exchange OF greetings
we sat So did the press agent.

 New Haven, Feb 21.--Poli has two novelties heading the bill at his new theater this week. One of them is Volta, styled as human storage bat tery and electrical marvel who puts out arc lights with his finger tips, lights gas gets with his tongue and does numerous other amazing elecc- trical stunts. The novelty is the Im- mensophone, huge phonograph-like box.
 Volta was pronounced right by a big audience and declared absolutely shocking by a coterie of volunteers, who after being invited on the stage to take dinner with Volta were shown how 1t feels to dine on third rail.
 About half dozen of these braves" from the audience, among whom was Charlie McEnroe, the local baseball player who played on the Waterbury team last year, gathered around Volta's festive banquet table. Apples led the menu. Apples also ended it, for Volta let loose current of electricity which transformed the apples into little bolts of lightning, much to the discontinue of the vol unteers who tried to feast on them.
 Even McEnroe, who is credited with strong constitution, leaped several feet in his chair and gasped "Ouch!" while his allies at the spread jumped about like beetles. One merry youth who won applause by his determined attempts to grab an apple, vowed after the act was over that Volta was a regular pow CT house.

A MINIATURE KINGDOM

Directly between Paris and Berlin
only hairs breadth, indeed. from be-
ing on a straight line drawn between
these two ctties-there lies little and
Independent country. BY Americans it
has been inexpllcably overlooked. 1t
contains a multitude of ruined castles,
perched craggily. 1t is the most di-
verting area of sss square miles.
This almost unnoticed Grossherzog-
thum Of Luxembourg would not even
now be Independent had not Queen
Wilhelmina been girl. It would have
remained province of the Netherlands
bewilderment of it, by Germany, Bel
GUM and France. But It's constitution
makes the succession hereditary in the
male line of Nassau, and SO at Wilhel-
mina's accession it eluded her grasp
and placidly entered the family circle
of Independent European countries; not
large for its age, this new member.
for it's size is less than a twelfth part
that of tiny Holland.
Luxembourg, the capital of Luxem-
berg, Is set proudly upon a plateau
girdled by precipices 200 feet in
height. Rivers wind circumf1uvent at
the foot of the rocks, and from the
boulevard brink there are alluring
views.
Until less than 40 years ago the city
was of a strength only second to that
Of Gibraltar, but by the treaty of Lon
don, in 1867, the powers decreed that
the duchy should henceforth be neutral
although it was a province of Holland,
and that the Notifications of the cap
ital should be destroyed. For centur-
les the city held a proud distinction
under the alternating rule Of France
and Germany, Austria, the Netherlands
and Spain; and the change has not
come In order that nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, but only
that In case of war, great armies may
maneuver without the check inherent
In the very presence of this central spot
OF powerful stronghold.
And so the splendid haughtiness has
gone, and only fragments of the forti-
f1cations remain. But what fragments!
Rocks honeycombed with passages and
pierced with embrasures; grim piles OF
stone; and here and there, projecting
over the edges Of the cliff, the noble
Spanish towers.
The powers decreed, too, that the
army be reduced to a paltry 800, and
the inhibition still holds. But the
happy people, making a jest of neces-
sity, smile when the handful march
| along with pomp of colors and blare
OF music; some sixth of the total army
being band: But, with saving sense
OF humor, there is no extravaganza OF

chief is but major

Doe make similar proof on home
stead three months from today.
Doe has acted in entire good faith
and complied with the require
ments of the law In all their integ-
rity; consequently he has no fears
as to the result, and, like the al
derman with the gondola, he let's
nature take its course. Roe, how
ever, who made proof three
months later, and gets through
merely "by the skin of his teeth"
is fearful as to consequences. know
ing that his proof of residence and
cultivation is meagre enough. He
uses little money where, he is
informed, it will do the most good,
and he receives his patent without
any question or perceptible delay.
Doe may get his patent six months
or a year later, perhaps; but in
stead of patent he is much more
likely to be informed that his proof
has been referred to q special agent
for investigation. The great trou-
BILE with these rascalities, perpetra-
ted by somebody in Washington, is
that they are not clearly discovered
until the offense is outlawed. It
Is hardly worth while going to the
expense of an investigation now
when the public lands are nearly
all gone. The investigation and
general cleaning out, ought to have
take place years ago. We have
felt for years that the MANAGEMENT
OF affairs at the local land office
was first class, and the manage
ment and administration at the
Washington office shamefully cor
rupt. 1t seems to make no differ
ence who the commissioner is or
what political party appoints him.
the delays, partialities and rascal
tiles, seem to go on just the same.
