FEups OF ACTORS.
Some Instances Of Dlsagreements
Among Thesplans.

During a recent performance of
THE Partisan Model" Anna Held, the
star, and Charles Bigelow, the leading
comedian, quarreled after the second
act The result of the disagreement
was that Bigelow did not appear in the
third act The Shuberts had engaged
him, and Miss Held was put out be-
cause he had decided to leave her
company.
During the last performances that
George NJ Cohan and Ethel Leyey,
his wife, gave before she divorced him,
each OF them was especially careful to
preserve an appearance Of complete
cordiallty. Many Of their friends
knew that a crisis IN the form OF di-
vorce proceedings was coming but
as they played lovers on the stage,
they gave better performances In
those roles rather than take chances
of running the performance by letting
the audiences see how they really
stood toward each other.
The Astor place riots, some of the
boodiest that ever stained the streets
of New York, grew directly ont of the
troubles which Forrest, the American
tragedian, had with Macready, the
English actor Forrest also had
trouble with Charles Kean, another
English actor, who was contemporary
with him. Macready claimed that For
rest had hissed him from a box, and
Forrest In turn charged that Macready
had hissed him.
Some OF these actor feuds have had
serious endings. William Terrlss, for
instance. that fine actor who gave
Henry Irving such fine support, was
murdered at the stage door of Lon
! don theater by a craZed actor who had
brooded so long upon what he con
ceived TO have been unjust treatment
received from Terriss that at length
his mind gave way and he slew the
other player.
Bigelow, who has just figured in the
incident with Anna Held, figured also
In some Incidents at the old Weber
& Fields Music Hall. When Miss Held
went to Weber & Fields It was stipu-
| lated In her contract that Bigelow
should accompany her. She felt that
she could play her scenes better If she
| played them with a comedian who
was accustomed to her method, Peter
Daley and the other nimble-witted
members of the Weberfleldlan aggre
cation had no disposition to let Bige
low in easily. On his first appearance
they met him with a storm Of i'm
promptu side play that threw him of
| his balance
Richard Mansfield, who makes con
vincing love on the stage, and who

mAuDE FsALY SAW LULA.
Conductor Stopped Train But Actress
Didn't Want 10 Get of.

Because the curiosity of an ectress
delayed a belated Southern train,
there are some conductors south of
the Mason and Dixie line wio are
watching carefully for Mlsss Maude
Fealy, says the Bohemian Recently
Miss Fealy appeared in Memphis, her
birthplace. and following her engage
ment there the company was booked
for Greenville, Miss. It seems that a
small town named Lulu was the home
OF her father before he became post
master at Memphis, aud Miss Fealy
wanted TO see II. So. when the train
left Memphis, she asked the conductor
to let her know when they reached the
station; then she settled down to en-
joy the panoramic view of the Missis.
sippi.
Shortly before noon the train was
suddenly stopped at what looked like
a very well conducted farm, but what
on closer inspection became railroad
station Just as Miss Fealy discov-
cred the name of Lulu on the door OF
the depot, the conductors voice WAS
heard through four or five cars cry
ing out the name Then the cry was
taken up by the brakemen until the
length and breadth of the train echoed
with the word But no passenger
made any attempt TO leave The con
ductor's anger became something akin
to rage when he saw Miss Fealy calm
ly surveying the surrounding country
and her fathers former abode with
marked though calm, attention.
"Lulu!" cried the conductor, almost
in her ear.
"Lulu!" shrieked the brakeman out.
side her window.
YES" said Miss Fcaly, II see the
name on the station. How long do we
stop here?"
"Stop?" asked the conductor; I'VE
don't stop here. This is only flag
station, and we've stopped five min
utes already. How long do you ex-
pect us to wait for you to get off?"
"oh, but / don't want to get on"
said Miss Fealy. 81 Just wanted to see
the town in which my father"
But the conductor did not wait for
the rest of the explanation. He pulled
the rope to signal the engineer, and
added another burning chapter to the
report of belated conductors.

Cuts Off Credit.

In Capac, Michigan, lives man who
fears not the biggest giant that ever
grew. This man owns a general store
and his name is De Witt Walker. Many
months ago Walker adopted the policy
of refusing credit to people whom he
knew to be patrons Of retail and mail
order concerns. and boldly advertised
his position in the face of advice from
some of his friends that it would be in
furious to his business. But Walker is
brave man, with courage to back up
his convictions. How the scheme really
works is best told in Mr.. Walkers own
words: "My business was never better.
discount all my bills, and my advice
to all merchants, is to do the same as
have done. If they do so the mail or
der houses will eventually become a
thing of the past
One of the effective advertisements
used by Mr.. Walker was in the form of
a letter, Of which the following is the
text:
