A boom in Wabash railroad stock has
revived the report OF an entente be-
tween Hartman and George Gould.
On last Friday there was an important
conference of Gould's interests at No
1875 Broadway, which lasted until late.
Prominent Gould officials stated after
the close of this meeting that nothing
had occurred which would indicate any
change in ownership or management in
the wabash system. They pointed out
the fact, however. that since Hartman
had become the principal factor in the
Wheeling and Lake Erie and wabash
Pittsburg terminal railroad companies.
it appeared likely that he would in
some manner, be identified with the
Wabash. since on that system primarily
depends the future development of the
Wheeling and Pittsburg terminal roads.

| bers of the Wabash board no important
changes have yet been decided on in
the roads directorate. It Is known,
however, that the banking interests
that are back of the Hartman lines
are making progress with their plans
for the joint reorganization of the
Wheeling and Pittsburg terminal prop

which the WABASH still has in these
roads, it is believed In financial circles
that the Wabash will be benefited by
the reorganization.
Fred Belasco is at the Hotel Aston

myself that l know a. good play as
well as any agent" said he. II have
been in the business long enough to
know when a play is going to suit my
patrons and there is no use of employ
ing a middleman. And know a good
actor, too, after I have seen him act
and l am here for that purpose Show
me- is my motto hereafter. I will
not buy pig in a poke, but want to
see the goods before they are delivered
in San Francisco.
MY faith in the new San Francisco
could not better be shown than in the
fact that l am going back into the old
burned district to build my new Belasco
theater. while the Alcazar will be made
popular priced house. San Francisco
is going to be the greatest city on the
map. We have some history out there
to start with and history has a way of
repeating itself"
When Margaret Ellington (Mrs. Dan
Tel Frohman) left for California on the
twentieth Century limited on Saturday
she declared to her friends that she
had said goodby forever to the stage.
She has gone to California for a long
rest. Il am tired out" said she. The
life on an actress is cruelty hard. One
must give her heart and soul and very
life's blood, for a good actress feels
every emotion she portrays. For five
years I have worked like a slave. /
must not break down. 1t is better to
retire when | have tasted the sweets OF
success and while everything is yet
rose colored. And so L say to one and
all dear companions in my profession. a
fond FAREWELL"
