Cincinnati. Feb. 12.--Death removed
today one or the most unique and pa
thetic figures OF the American stage.

convinced to the end that the jeering
audiences which greeted her a gener-
alton ago really acclaimed her the
greatest actress Of her time.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Suzanne
Martin (Madame Periwinkle1. her mind

conceived the idea that she was a great
actress. A cynical manager, foreseeing
a unique feature for his house, encour-
aged the belief and Madame Pcriwinkle
appeared TN vaudeville.
She could neither sing nor dance and
her costume was made up or weird,
ill-fitting odds and ends, but again and
again she appeared before crowded
houses and received the ieering plaud-
its as genuine appreciation. The. novel
ty at last wore off and her feeble brain
gave way entirely.
She was ST years old.

FLUTE STATEMENTS.

Washington. Feb. 12.-When the
Ballinger- Pinehot congressional inves-
committee resumes its session
Monday, it is said. that there will be
present representative of Daniel
Guggenheim prepared to introduce
evidence both documentary and oral to
show the exact amount and character
of the Guggenheim holdings in Alaska.
The statement has been made in
some quarters that the Guggenheims
were striving for the control of Alaska
coal and mineral lands, railroads and
boat lines. and that the Cunningham
group of coal claims was closely
identified with the Guggenheim inter-
ests.
Just when the committee will hear
this testimony is problematic. For the
time at least, daily sessions will be
held. witnesses who have been
brought long distances to the city are
to be called rs early as possible.
