had an absolutely different expe- rience, and l don't believe that she has made a penny since that first year. She had tried play after play, only to have them fail, and if it were possible to get at an exact idea of her profits and losses 1t would be found that she had lost money more rapidly during her unsuccessful years than she had ever made it; but the public thinks of her merely as a star, sees the accounts of her great success withouS realizing that she is in fact making no money. but losing it when her play does not at tract the public. Then when it be- comes clear that she has not made a fortune there is the usual surprise.
 "The extent to which an actor may lose through one unsuccessful produc- tion was shown more exactly by the experience of Neil Burgess than any body else He had been playing "The Widow Bedott' for years, making a steady if not great income every year Then he struck The County Fair which had real sensation in the race scene that gave the victory to Cold Molasses That ran for a whole season at the Union Square theater to large audiences. and really made a small fortune on the road for the actor It was then that he got into his head the idea of a great spectacle, which would contain a chariot racing scene that had never been attempted before. In order to supply the excuse for such a spec tacle it was necessary to remove period of Rome, B. C., and the im- personator of New England spinsters was bound to appear as virgin priestess in one of the temples.
 The Star theater was the scene of this first night that swallowed up a fortune acquired during the pre- ceding ten years. In order to install the elaborate mechanical plant that showed the hippodrome. it was nec- essary to dig down yards into the rock under the surface of the cellar and build up a most elaborate struc- ture of iron wheels and a tread mill. The piece was a dead failure from the first night. although the star con- tinued to let good money go after bad in the attempt to make it go. It was not until he had spent a for tune that the utter hopelessness of the piece became apparent and the actor started all over again.
 Such a situation could scarcely be repeated today. because actors are as wise as managers have become in not attempting to run play for which the public shows no taste."- New York Sun

ACTORS FORTUNES ARE FE\
Rarely Do They Grow Rich In Their
 Profession.

Fortunes of players, as the Sun told last week, rarely materialize when there is an actual test of their value. Recent instances mentioned then were Fanny Davenport and Rich ard Mansfield, who had been popular stars for years and yet left estates far less than might have been ex- pected.
 That this is not peculiarity of the American theater was shown at the death of Sir Henry Irving, who left little or no fortune. Ellen Terry, who had stood for so many years at his side as the head of the English theater needed a benefit only a few years ago. and Sarah Bernhardt, who must have received as much money in her long career as any woman on the stage, is rarely able to keep her jewels out of pawn for more than a few months at time. Her improvi- dence was shown by one of her American trips, when she took her diamonds out of pledge to come over here and sent back by cable all her earnings. even if she were in some small western town. The day after she landed in Paris she went to a broker and put her Jewelry back into pawn. Her earnings went for years to the support of her son, and the theater in Paris that bears her name has not often been profitable for any length of time.
 The public does not know" one of the managers told the Sun re- porter, how variable the seasons of the popular actors are in drawing powers. A popular star. man or woman, may have a play that hits the public taste and the money comes in. That play may be strong enough to last two seasons. if the star is willing to play in the small towns: but it may happen that for several seasons there will be little or no profit, however the star may try to get another successor to the play that was so much liked. Look at one popular stage beauty. She be- gan her career as a star in d play by Clyde Fitch that proved a great success. She used it for two years. There is no doubt that she made a lot of money out of it, and if it had been possible for her to get a few more plays like that her fortune would have been made. Yet she has

The Wreck of the Maine.

The Spanish residents of Cuba-or some of them-are trying to induce the Cuban government to raise the wreck of the battleship Maine from the bottom of Havana harbor. While there are practical reasons for getting rid of the wreck-for example. its menace to shipping so long as it re- mains where it is-the Spaniards of Cuba are, of course, animated chiefly by sentiment in asking that the wreck be raised. They know that until the hulk is raised the American people will believe that the ship was destroy ed by Spaniards, and they hope that inspection will show that the explo- sion came from within.
 The cost of raising the wreck would be great, and there IS no probability whatever that the Cuban government will interest itself to the extent of making any expenditure. Ships have managed to avoid the wreck, so far. the Cubans say. and they hope for like good luck in the future. And as to the sentimental questions involved they shrug their shoulders and say it is all a matter between Trio Sam" and Spain If the Spaniards are anxious to prove that the ship was not blown up from the outside. they have full permission to raise the wreck and pro- duce herewith the proof. And if. for any reason, the American government desires to raise the ship, it also is free to go ahead. And the Cuban govern ment seems to have the best of the argument.
 It is remarkable, however, that con- gress has steadfastly refused to con- slider all proposals for raising the Maine Not only do we owe it to Cuba to raise the wreck and remove it from the harbor, but if we were wrong in thinking that an enemy destroyed the ship, we should not be ashamed to have the facts developed and to ac- knowledge that for nearly twelve years Spain has been unjustly accused. All the experts agree that if the hull is raised an examination will disclose whether the explosion was from with in, and therefore from some accidental cause. or from without, and therefore caused by an enemy.
 And there is a reason which should be a powerful one with congress. Within that wreck lie the bones of more than a dozen brave American sailors who went to their death with their ship on that fatal February night. The bodies of their comrades were re-
 covered and given sacred burial on American soil. but congress is too nig
 gardly to do this service to the bones that remain in the wreck.

A NOVEL USE FOR THE OLD
 CASTER.

Here's a new one for the woman who entertains a mania for invent ing uses for useless objects. The old silver caster which stands in the attic is not exactly useless, to be sure. for it has come back into vogue again. But by this time most of its appointments are missing and few housekeepers care to use 1t for It's original purpose.
 The inventive soul, who has found use for it. recommends cleaning 1t up with a mixture of whiting and ammonia and furnishing it with tiny thumb pots filled with ferns. This, she insists, makes an impressive ornament.
 Whether impressive or not, 1t IS very possible to believe that the fine tracery of the ferns against the polished silver would be attractive. and that it would make pretty centerpiece for the dinner table.

Did Bill, a cab horse belonging TO
Patrick Hennessy, q cabman gener-
ally found In the vicinity OF the court

death was suicide, the result OF BIZ
being compelled to work beside q
strange horse instead Of Tom, who
had been his companion for years,
sold by Hennesey.
According to the owner, Bill had
acted strangely since the new horse
was bought. At first he baked when
an attempt was made to hitch him
to the cab, and later he endeavored
to make the new horse run off, some.
thing he never had been known to do
before. After turning from Broad
way into Walnut street Hennessy
tied the team and attended to some
busin ess. II was while he was gone
that Bill battered bis head with ter.
rife force against the pole and fell,
blood pouring from bis nose and
mouth. He died IL q few minutes.
