AND At LARGE.

New York, Aug. 2O-When word
was flashed to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition that the tramp steamer Pro-
vincia had reached port all the govern
ment taxidermists figuratively rolled
up their sleeves and steadied them
selves to meet the first rush of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's jungle trophies which
represented enough wild animals to de-
plete city if they ever went on a RAM
page together.
IN twenty casks and nine large cases
snugly pOckted in the Provincia's hold
the old tramp steamer had so much
concentrated wild animal power
aboard that some of the members of
the crew shuddered even at thought
of what would happen if the bones
and skins of the following animals
suddenly took notion to come to life:
lion, digdig. giraffe. Gland, cheetah,
hyena zebra. wildebeeste, hartebeeste,
impalia, warthog. leopard, waterbuck,
rhfnocerous, hippopotamus, buffalo
and tiger

1T was a fine old menagerie we

never heard of lot of the blamed
things before. For instance, there's

whether a digdig is bird or a four

and a tail like a pick.
I'VE think Charley is kiddin' us, but
don't care one way or the other. I'm

WOODSMAN DISCOVERS
IMMENSE DARK CAVERN
Pioneer Tells of Great Hole in Adj
rondacks Which SWarms
with Bats

SARANAC LAKE, n. Y, March 10
Capt. e. E. Thomas, an old-time
woodsman, has discovered a great cave
in a secluded part of the Adirondacks
which NAV rival the famous Mammoth
cave of Kentucky.
Thomas chanced to strike the en-
trance to the cavern on the summit OF
mountain seldom visited by travellers
or sportsmen some time ago, but kept
the matter secret until he could make
an investigation.
1t is situated on a mountain known
a mountain seldom visited by travellers
ish, N. Y.
In describing his discovery the old
Woodsman said: 1.-The mouth is about
80 feet wide. The first room is 80 feet
long, 20 feet wide and 80 feet high.
"It swarmed with bats, which lined
the walls and seemed scarcely able to
move. There was decided smell OF
sulphur. In the next room, which was
40 by Is by % feet, we found passages
branching in many directions but were
unable to explore all of them.
with only the feeble rays of Ian
tern to guide us, we narrowly escaped
several times falling into pits. You
can imagine how deep some of these
were when [ say that we had time to
count fifteen and twenty before rocks
we dropped into them We're heard TO
strickland we did not count rapidly.
"An elks horn was found by us far
inside the cave. After going a short
distance from the mouth there was no
vegetation There is no opening at the
base of the mountain and there are no
streams in the cave so far as we nave
discovered yet"

Nine Marietta Oily. the new visiting
German actress at the Irving Place
theater, said that a woman's tempera-
ment must decide which was prefer
able. a successful artistic career or a
quiet. happy domestic life.
But" she added, "the artistic life,
if it is lived in its fulness, is incom-
ratible with a perfect domestic life.

pense of the other | was called upon

ton its hardships and disappointments.
are. the more satisfactory in the end"
"Eack Woman Must Choose"
AS to the question whether woman
will find her greatest happiness in an
artistic career or domestic life Miss
Maxine Elliott said last night:
1T is a natural human instinct, and
want what one does not happen to
have. The woman of the stage con-
stantly longs for a home, and the do
mestic woman who is surrounded by
the comforts of the home imagines
how successful she would be if she
We're only on the stage.
"One, however, knows nothing about
the life of the other Theatrical life
is so eXacting that it absolutely bars
those who follow it from domestic
joys. The only home the actress knows
is the hotel. 1 would not undertake
to say which is the better, because it
is impossible to decide that question,
as so much depends upon the indi-
vidual.
But [ think that a woman who has
the capacity to win a successful ca
reer as an actress also has the capacity
to lead a successful and happy domes-
tic life. Her artistic impulses would
find many outlets in activities and in
terests which would be compatible
with her home life. The best way to
be happy under any circumstances is
to be contented with ones lot"

great secret of health. The daily

We say WITH PURE WATER"-for
certainly you will get into trouble if
you load your system with water full
of vegetable impurities which directly
breed disease Mineral matter, too, is
bad. The system cannot absorb it, is
merely clogged by it.
In Puritas you have a pure distilled
water-and only distilled water can be
absolutely pure. Puritas is natural
solvent. People with rheumatic or
kidney troubles are greatly benefited
by this effect. Well people, by drink
ing Puritas, prevent these troubles.
Puritas is really medicinal in effect,
sparkling, refreshing water.

STAGE STARS VOTE
FOR HOME LIFE
FANNIE WARD WOULD CHOOSE
THE FOOTLlGHTS
Majority of Actresses Say Domesticlty
Is No Bar to Histrionic
Success

NEW YORK, March 10.-Thc Volun-
tary separation and subsequent divorce
agreed upon between Daniel Frohman'
the theatrical manager, and Margaret
Ellington. the actress, in which the lat
ter cave as her reason a desire to en-
ioy home life, and stated that stage
career was not to be compared Wltil
domestic happiness, has caused Wlde-
spread comment among members OF
the theatrical profession. That the
art of the stage is not the greatest
thing in a woman's life, and that fem
mime instinct holds first of all to DO
mestic happiness and love of home lie,
was asserted emphatically yesterday
bv MANY actresses. There were rev
who declared, however, that the stage
held a fascination greater than that
of the home. >,
"The noblest aim of any actress" ="
saws Miss Helen Ware, who is appear
ING in THE Third Degree" at the Hud-
son theater, SHOULD be to retain her
domesticity. Her art should be subor-
dinated to this. An actress who has
lost love for home and home life be-
comes hardened and her art suffers as
a consequence. 1t IS not linpossiple itd
for a woman on the stage to retain her
home life and home love and still
achieve success"
Marriage Aids Her in Work
"Since my marriage to Mr.. Hoey"
said Miss Elsie Ferguson, in The
Travelling Salesman" at the Gaiety, "a
greater love for home life has natural
ly come over me and l believe that it
has been of benefit for my work on
the stage. If the occasion should arise
where it would be necessary for me to
choose between my art and my home
/ would without hesitation give up the
stage. Home life has a tendency to
soften a womans heart, and if she is
an artist it's effect is easily discernibe
in her work No woman can be a great
artist unless she be to certain degree
domestic, for the same reason that no
actress can hope to succeed unless she
is in touch with the world, the real
world. and not the world of a recluse" 4"
In the case of Miss Fannie Ward,
who is at Wallack's theater in "The
New Lady Bantock." the call of the
footlights has eXerted a greater power
than the fascination of a domestic ex-
istence. In private life Miss Ward
is Mrs. Joseph Lewis of London, where
the couple have a town house in ad-
dition to a country home in the sub
urbs.
