Senator Plumb the Model

IN another occasion Charles H. Reed gave
~ luncheon on my arrival in Washington
for an engagement. Of course, Senator Plumb
was a chief guest. l was asked to give the
said asked the author, David Lloyd in draw
ing the leading character to make him man
in earnest and a man entirely honest, and we
fixed on Senator Plumb our model. l ven
ture to think that the Senator, who was always
proud that he had been chosen, was prouder
than ever this occasion.
But the day was not to end without dash
of humility in his cup. At the luncheon
Senator Blackburn told me to wipe the back
of my neck with my handkerchief when an
exciting moment came in the play that evening.
1t was a popularity of the Senator, he said, to
perspire in the back of his neck when he was
emotionally excited, a popularity | had failed
to note in my study of him, but to his col
leagues it was especially characteristic.
That night there were twenty Senators in
the theater, in the boxes. When the ante
room scene came pulled out my handkerchief,
as Blackburn had directed, and mopped the
back of my neck. Even l was unprepared for
what followed. On the still, tense atmosphere
of the theater broke in a shout from twenty
threats. Twenty Senators roared with laugh
ter; and not another soul uttered sound.
The effect was indescribably comic, even if it
was somewhat disconcertng to the action of
the drama.
Washington has always borne pleasant
associations for me, and it has been my good
fortune to meet not only Senators but many of
our Presidents Chester A. Arthur l remem-
Der from call l once made upon him in COM
pany with Dewitt Clinton Wheeler. He was
excellent story teller, and between us we
managed to keep the conversation going at a
lively rate. As we talked, cards kept pouring
in, till it suddenly occurred to me that / was
taking up altogether more than my share of
the time of the head of the nation. l rose
hurriedly, with an apology.
Don't go! Sit down, sit down." he cried.

A Tenacious Memory

7 MIGHT, indeed, have carried it before in the
i Goldsmith comedy: for played Hardcaste
for an entire season with Robson twenty-three
years ago. but it did not then occur to me.
When my part was put into my hands once
more last September | read it over once, and
found that l could repeat it almost letter per-
feet At first this surprised me; for it is much
more difficult, as rule, to recover part than
to learn one. | suppose the explanation
of this exception lies not in the tenacty of my
memory but in the fact that the language is
different from that of the plays | have been
appearing in for SO many seasons, while the
character itself has a certain old fashioned
appeal, an artistic dignity, that recalls the
atmosphere of actual performance
| remember when Robson and |, after four
teen years of separation, played THE Henri
eta" together once more for a single per-
formance benefit, four years ago, was at
loss to regain my part at rehearsals. We had
only three or four rehearsals, as most of the
company had been playing with Robson all
the season, and at each one of them | stuck
several times in every act. Finally, at the last
rehearsal, called the company together. We
are to play only this once" | said I'VE want
it to go right Will each one of you in every
scene with me please pay the strictest attention
and prompt me when | stick"

l found in the box an ebony cane with a
great gold handle duly inscribed. 1t was
Splendid first old mans cane, but hardly suited
to a juvenile of twenty-four. OF course, ]
accepted it with all the grace l could command,
and when my kind friends had departed l
stood it up in the corner and told it that it
would come in handy if ever l should play
Hardcastle or Sir Anthony Absolute. Then
sent it to my mother in Massachusetts, to keep.
My mother was prouder of it too than of any
honor 1 ever won on the stage, and gladly
accepted the trust.
Twenty-six years later, in 1906 when Jeffer-
son selected me to play Absolute in the all star
cast of The Rivals the production Wilson
has told about in his book on Jefferson-the
memory of that cane came back for the first
time, and of my dream to use it in this play.
So sent home for it at once. Word came back
that it could not be found. My mother had
died, and there was no trace of it. told them
at home that was sure she must have put it
carefully away somewhere; so they searched
again. and sure enough they found it in an old
trunk in the attic, wrapped carefully in cotton:

BLACK PEOPLE IN PERSIA.
Their Presence Is Puzzle to Learned
Ethnologlsts.

One of the research men" of the
Carnegie institute at Washington,
now travelling in the east. has made
an interesting report with reference
TO the existence in ancient Persia OF
a race OF black-skinned men, who
possessed features resembling those
of Africans.
The origin of these people. as well
as their apparent disappearance in
modern times. have furnished puz
cling questions for ethnologists for a
great many years. Some have sup.
posed that in prehistoric times the
greater part Of southern Asia was oc-
cupied by a primitive black race. Of
which only vestiges remained when
the empires of Babylon and Assyria
arose. Lately. descendants of the
black man who figured In the early
history OF Persia are believed 10 have
been found by the Russian explorer.

mountains near Shiras. east of the
Persian gulf.
These people. although they still
form an independent group. mingle

Father Duffy Breaches at High Mass.
 Fine Music.

At high mass at St. Paul's yesterday the Rev. Father Kerrigan of Mobile was the celebrant and the Rev. Father Duffy of East Lake the preacher. The latter is regarded as one of the ablest and most edifying Catholic clergymen in the Bir- mingham district and his discourse on this occasion was referred to by mem bers of the congregation as exceptional ly good.
 The choir rendered Weber's celebrated mass in G in fine style, with Mrs Severin as solo soprano and MT. Herbert as solo baritone For offertory Mrs. Severin sang Luzzi Ave Maria.
 All the morning services-four masses were well attended.
 After high mass the Holy Name so- ciety met in St. Paul's hall and enrolled three new members. It was announced that the next regular communion of the sodalty would be on the second Sunday . of July.
 Following the session of the Holy Name society the Athletic club held an inter- esting meeting. This organization IS growing and an effort is being made to enlist as members all the young men in the parish. Cary Thompson is president of the club.
