Turkey and other stirring events. AS in
teresting as were Mr.. Niblo's talks last

Domesticity In Theatrical Life.

1t is all a mistake to think that domes-
ticity does not figure In the life of ac-
tresses, or that the call of the curtain
overshadows the call of the cradle In the
lives Of women who seek stage careers.
Love of~home life and its attending joys
Is as strong among those of the profess
sion as 1t Is in that of any other walk of
life, and while 1t may be admitted that
there are hundreds Of girls who adopt the
stage to be surrounded with the glare and
glamour of the footlights. with its accom-
panying excitement and frivolities, there
are other hundreds who enter upon stage
work for arts sake alone, and to whom
the f1attery and attention of the ever
present stage-door Johnny does not appeal
or degrade. To such as these the love of
home life is ever dominant, and their de-
pertinent is as careful when on the road
as when in the bosoms of their families
But how can actresses live domestic
the time-here today. gone tomorrow: all
their possessions in q small trunk, and
when that Is opened in their hotel room
there Is hardly enough space to swing
live. But it is different with the earnest
worker. She plans for comfort when not
at her stage duties, and this Is the way
she finds it. AT least it's the way a quar-
tet of girls in George NJ. Cohan's 1.-THE
Yankee Prince company find, it.
They are Aggie and Mamie Gildea and
Lila and Marjorie Rhodes, and they live
comfortably. very comfortably, on the
road by following this plan. When the
company gets into a city where the en-
gagement is for four or more weeks,
which often happens in New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago, these girls seek out
furnished apartment. which can be Sc
cured at reasonable figure. The rent
must not exceed $45 per month. and hav-
ing found that they move In and put their
house In order. s-Aggfe Gildea is the ''busi-
ness man" of the quartet. She 1t is who
secures the apartment, pays the rent. at
tends to the marketing and audts all the
accounts. Mamie Gildea and Lila Rhodes
take turns in the kitchen and at the
daintiness and toothsomeness Of the meals
they serve. Marjorie Rhodes keeps the
home in order. and the whole happy fam
lily assist in keeping the kitchen In shape
and the house tidied ul. They have their
little suppers after the theater. ofttimes
inviting less fortunate girl friends Of the
company to enjoy these with them.
The expense OF this rational mode. Of liv-
ing can be summed up as follows: Rent
Of apartment. $45 per month; gas or cleo
trio bill, 81; laundry, $40; household sup
plies, $50; tncidentals, SIS, making q total
monthly expense Of $112. Divide this by
four and you have $2S per month that It
costs these careful young ladies to live,
or, In other words. 81 per week per girl.
healthy life while pursuing success. that
illusive little rascal that hides behind the
footlights.
This is the way the sisters Gildea and
Rhodes invariably live while on tour, and
1t would be hard to find a healthier, more
charming or happier quartet Of fair femi-
ninity on the American stage.

Lord --, who had Just lost his ia

melancholy, and the lawyer pro
posed visiting a theater opposite,

There was a slight fire in the thea

among the first to bolt, like a rab-
bit" out of the building. Return
ing leisurely to the club, Mr.. Will
liams found there his Young friend
quietly smoking a cigar.
"What on earth made YOU bolt
that way? You seemed frightened
out of your wits (not a difficult mat
ter perhaps). Don't you know that
on such an occasion if everybody
got up and rushed out a panic would
ensue, with very likely fatal conse-
quences? Why on earth couldn't
you sit still, as | did? There was
nothing serious the matter" Upon
this, with the most p%atronlzing AR

ABOUT REMOVAL or The COUNTY SEAT
Petitions Being Circulated Among Taxpayers Calling for
Special Election to Decide Question

would crumble crack and warp. Fur
thermore, it is understood that the in
surance companies which hold the risk
on the old court house have refused tc
rebuild the structure for the price Of the
insurance, also that they will not even
pay the full insurance.
All Of these matters were discussed at
the meeting SUNDAY and it seemed to be
the prevailing opinion that now was the
time to remove the county seat to Yer
ington. II is understood that this can
be done by vote of the people of the
county, and it is more than likely that
the Commissioners will be called upon
to provide for an election on this question
No speeches OF prejudiced nature
were allowed at the meeting and the
matter was considered only from bus
mess standpoint 1t was the opinion OF
everybody that the county had suffered
severe loss in the destruction OF the
Court House, and that Dayton's loss
was the severest of all, but as business
proposition, and following the old maxim
that affairs of State should be conduct
ed on the principle OF the greatest good
to the greatest number, it would be
mach bette. 10 move the County Seat
and build the new Bourt House at Yer

There is no other logical place 10

and 1t is the substantial section because
OF its splendid agricultural resources
and prospective copper mining in

A meeting of considerable importance
was held in the rooms of the Yerington
Commercial Club last Sunday afternoon.
There were present a great many mem
hers of the club besides many Of the
prominent and heavy taxpayers OF Yer
ington and Mason Valley, aud the main
topic under consideration was the propo-
,ition to move the county seat from Day
ton 10 Yerington.
For some years past it has been evi-
dent that Dayton was going to lose the
seat OF justice OF Lyon county owing to
the fact that this end of the county was
growing so rapidly and becoming sopop-
ulous that nearly all the court business
comes from this valley and the surround-
ing country; but the sober, thinking tax
PAYERS OF this end have been 10th to in
cur an expense that would increase their
taxes at the present time. and there are
many who hated to despoil the pretty
little town OF Dayton Of her last relic Of
former greatness aud commercial inn
portance.
But conditions have changed Since
FIRE has DESTROYED the old landmark OF
a court house in DAYTON the same peo-
pie who we're heretofore opposed to re-
moving the county seat to Yerington are
beginning to think that if the county is

new court house that II might be better
to build il in Yerington now than to
wait couple of years and then move il
to Yerington after the structure was re-
built IN Dayton.

the old building still remain intact and
in fair condition, but as to this we are
not positive II is a rare case. however.
