THE LAUGH AND THE TEAR.

Marie Cahill had an ambition. when
slip OF a girl. TO be a great emotional ac-
tress. But she comes TO Washington this
week as a recognized fUn-maker. It's a
far cry from Shakespeare to "Aiarrying
Mary" which is modern musical play
But Marie Cahill in her schoolgirl DAYS
eagerly devoured all that the great mas
ter has written. She has confessed that
in those days she felt she must be great
tragedienne. At school she organized a
dramatic society for the purpose Of get
ting a chance to act. Like all keenIy
ambitious characters. she was not TO be
denied. and eventually went upon the
boards in a small role-an Irish colleen or
something Of that sort. She got rs far
as Fall River after a week OF one-night
stands, and then turned back. a sorrow
full. homesick little girl.
Her playmates IN Brooklyn made merry
at her expense. but she went along with
her ambitions Just the same, and finally
secured a part in the Hanlon Brothers
"Fantasma." A very funny clown made
her laugh on the stage the opening night.
The audience laughed with her. for her
laugh was infectious. The result was that
Marie Cahills laughter was featured in
the criticism next day. She kept the
laugh in on the advice Of the Hanlons.
and ever since Marie Cahill has had audi
ences at her mercy when she laughs.
In speaking OF her early ambition TO be
a tragedienne. Miss CahiII maintains she
has realized It. Her attitude Is quaint
and some may not accept IT. She SAYS:
'Pathos is the handmaiden Of comedy.
To be funny and truly a comedienne a
woman must be able to really act; she
must carry her audience with her and
when she desires to score heavily with 2
funny line. she must be able first to pre-
pare them by gaining control OF their
sympathles. And the greatest HELM in
gaining control of their sympathies Is
the insinuation of a little patbos into

reached here to-day and which finds abundant
credence among prominent Democrats The
story. which comes from men close to Mr.
Bryan Is decidedly circumstantiaL 1t is TO the
effect that when Mr.. Johnson was elected Mayor
of Cleveland last week Mr. Bryan Immediately
communicated with him 10 ascertain his senti-

would make a race for the Democratic nominal
ton having been placed in circulation.
Mayor Johnson replied. according to the re-
port which has reached here To the effect that
he certainly would not enter the race II Mr.
Bryan cared once more to be the party nominee
ana the parleying which followed resulted in
Mr.. Bryans intimatng to the Cleveland Mayor

the national committee and the responsibility
OF conducting the Democratic Presidential cam

duct picturesque and bizarre campaigns is we'll
known.
Some of Mr.. Bryan's Western friends are Won
derinE what effect this move will have with
ex-senator Pettigrew and his Populistic friends.
Mr.. Pettigrew has been counting the ma
tional craftsmanship for some time, and has told
several of hts friends in Washington that he
CARDS it as good as cinched." OF course Mr..
Pettigrew can hardly afford to turn against the
peerless leader on this score. and yet Il is
believed that his disappointment may serve TO
dilute the enthusiasm with which he and his
following will serve their former chieftain.
