Troubles Of People on Venus.

Inhabitants of Venus, If there are
any. must feel it extremely difficult to
establish units of time. Venus always
turns the same face toward the sun;
SO the planet has no day, and the
lack of moon deprives 1t of month.
Finally, 1t has no year. for its axis of
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit, and the latter is almost
circular. ID

and all she offered the public was her genius upon the stage. Her pr!- yate life, her family associations, her small feminine vanities and her daily going and coming were hers alone. Such woman is and should be an inspiration to other women who aspire to professional honors. Helena Modjeska had no pet dogs, she hti no ambition for the ''uplift" and pro duced no nauseating problem plays.
 She confined herself to the cleanest, the most artistic and the most beau tjful that was offered by the old or contemporary dramatists. Therefore the older generation of American playgoers sigh when they read that this splendid woman, this high-horn and cultured actress is dead.

 "The speaker has as much right to ask question as anybody else on the floor," returned Speaker Brown. Mir. Combs said he did not object to the chair asking questions, and the mat ter was dropped
 However, it must be admitted that little progress was made in getting together The amendment offered by MT. Combs, giving the governor and the contractors the right to name one member each and the chief jus tice to name the third member of the arbitration board, was adopted, but owing to strong opposition and the declaration of opponents of the amendments that they will filibuster against the bill to the end of the session. there may be reconsidera- tion of this amendment this afternoon.

HELENA MODJESKA.

Helena Modjeska died yesterday at her home in southern California and the older generation of intellectua! American people sigh when they read that the stage has lost one of it's most brilliant ornaments and the world one of the greatest of it's good wcmen. Far from her beloved To- land :he illustrious actress will find a grave In foreign soil, which sine did not cherish the less because she loved Poland the more. The very ex- cellence of her character and superb womanhood made her an exile, for she clung to her patriotic husband when that distinguished writer and journalist offended the Austrian gov ernment and was obliged to flee to America for refuge.
 When still almost a girl Helena Modjeska had conquered the Euro pean stage, and authors. managers and the continental public were at distinguished names upon the foreign stage and a career full of the richest rewards of genius was within her reach. Yet she forebore all the al lurements of life just ripening to a glorious fruition to share exile with her husband in America. Unlike al most all of the great European art fists of her sex, she did not come to America to continue her professional triumphs. She was fully determined to quit the stage and live quietly with her husband in California, where both dreamed of founding a Polish exile colony. But financial re- verses required her to take to the stage again, and again for her hus- bands sake she essayed the classic drama. Thus her personal misfor- tune brought to the American stage the woman who had so distinguished herself in Europe.
 Helena Modjeska was first of all q good woman, good mother and a good wife. Upon these exceptional Fundamental qualities she based her dramatic career, and here in America after lapse of some years she re- vived her art. She never relaxed her dignity, her high moral conscience or her Ideals for the sake of self exploitation. Her name was never tarnished by the slightest suggestion or yielding to opportunity to augment public interest. She pursued her ar- dstic way without sensational ac- compartment or social adventure.
