Another woman whose talent afford

who under the stage name of Little

comedienne of hat period. Although
Miss Crabtree was still in her teens,
she had already achieved a national
reputation as a brilliant impersonator
of light comedy roles and had sung
and danced herself into the affections
of the theater going public with a
c~leverness that speedily brought her
fame and fortune. Not long before
the dreadful tragedy in Ford's theater
she played an engagement in Wash

admirers.
A famous woman whose intellectual

early advocate of emancipation and
was accustomed to make frequent
visits to the White House to urge Mr..
Lincoln to take the step. On these

The ordinary camel, which will
never hurry under any circumstances,
has been transformed in southern Al
geria into an animal so different In
size, temper and appearance that it
may almost be looked upon as a diff
ferent race. This is the racing camel,
priced for its speed. The result of
many generations of careful breeding,
which has been encouraged by yalu-
able prizes, it a be depended upon
for nine or ten miles an hour, which
it can keep up for sixteen or seven
teen hours almost without a stop. Its
value is five or ten times that Of the

popular sport and are made exciting
by the evident interest of the crea-
lures themselves in winning.

for the theater, both the president and
his wife were especially fond of the
play and were familiar figures at the

amusement. Although his musical ap-

sometimes went to the opera. On one
of these occasions he heard Adelina
