But before I tell them to you as they

the fact that an intense animosity
characterized the relations that existed
between Jackson and Henry Clay. 1t
was one Of the rare cases In which
Clay permitted himself to have a per
sonal animosity, though frequently. as
we all know, he would be a mans po-
litical enemy to the full limit of his
powers.

bitter enemies, although they were of
the same party. They had not spoken
since 1913, I believe. when Benton was
thrown downstairs at the time when
his brother put a bullet through Jack
sons shoulder down In North Caro-
lima. At any rate, Benton had not
visited the white house since Jackson
had been it's chief occupant. But it
so happened that a day or two after
President Jackson had paid his char

Prophecy That Was Fulfilled

re~sentatlves the morning Of the day
we were to leave for Chicago. Rather
late in the afternoon Garfield turned
to me. and said: 'Starin, 1t is time for
US to start. My gripsack is in the
cloak room. and l suppose yours Is
also. Let's go together from the capt.
toll to the railway station. and we'll
keep company all the way to Chica-
Co.
"As I was taking my hat and my
gripsack from the attendant In the
cloak room. I heard some one say to
Garfield do not now remember who
It was, except that 1t was a Democrat:
Garfield, whom are you going to NOM
mate for president at the convention?
You don't expect to nominate Sher-
man, do you? And we Democrats fig
ure that Blaine and Grant will neu-
tralize each others votes
I'm reply Garfield said: I am to
nominate Sherman in behalf Of the
state of Ohio. or course we all hope
that no Will be nominated by the con-
vent1on.'
"'But whom are you going to NOM
mate, Garf1eld?' persisted the Demo
Graf.
X remember perfectly how Gar
field looked when that question was
repeated to him. He turned half
around. there was q cordial smile upon
his face-one that was characteristic
Of him-and then he said: 81 don't
know. It's very likely to be some
one not now named. 1t Is Just as
likely to be myself as anybody else
I was nightly impressed by that
reply. It confirmed my own impress
sion that Garfield might be u a n
didate: I had already said to one or
two friends: We can't nominate
Grant. Blaine cannot be nominated,
and In my opinion Garfield will be the
man. And I am satisfied that at he
time Garfield left Washington for Chi.
caSo in my company he had reasoned
tho situation Out exactly as I had
done"

WAsHINGTON.-The census 70
W turns on the large cities Of the
country are now complete. The fig
ures show that most Of them have had
. healthy growth during the ten years
since the last count was made. but
some of them have fallen out Of the
places they occupied then and their
places have been taken by other cities.
OF the many that have tried, In the
past ten years, to climb into the
100000 class, only five have succeeded.
Among the ten largest cities there
has been only one important change
OF position. Baltimore has lost sixth
place to Cleveland. Baltimore's popu-
lation. as oflcially stated, Is 55s.ds5,
while Cleveland has 660,es3. The gain
in Baltimore over 1900 was 81 per
cent.

|NO FUTURE FOR THE

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.--In her pretty chintz-hung dressing rom at the Cri- terionl Theatre, Miss May de Sousa chattsd the other day about her rcle in the Commuters" immediately af- ter an extra rehearsal.
 It is a room that has been occupied by Julia Marlowe, Ethel Barrymore, and other prominent actresses, and their influence was very evident in the speech of the pretty little lady who had just graduated from musi- cal comedy into legitimate drama.
 When l stop to think of the many things l have yet to learn I'm really appalled," she began, "and only the kindness of Mir Harris. my manager, and Mir Forber the author of the play, and their constant encourage ment, help me to go on. In this, as in any artistic work, the way is long and the time so very fleeting. Then when l realize that at twenty four, am playing a leading roe in leading theatre, l feel little calm CT and return to my work and study with new resolution.
 My ambition was always to be serious actress, but circumstances a good voice and youth, conspired to place me in light opera. At the end of my first reasons. while I was only in my teens, l was singing in light opera That year. too I was the un- study for Alice Nielsen, in San Fran cisco. She went to London. and the opportunity came for me to follow her there. But dread of the ocean voyage induced me to stay in my own country
 Then came successes fn The Wizard of Oz and Babes in Toyland :. It was the latter piece which brought me east, where I was very kindly re- ceiyed. I went to London after all, and got my first hearing as Cinder- ella in the Drury Lane pantomime. Castles in Spain. The Geisha' and other London successes followed. I was to have appeared as Sonia in The Merry Widow in Paris, but the plans were changed for sevral req sons.
 You know Monsieur de Max the famous French actor? He becamr very enthusiastic about my work, and was eager to introduce me to the Parisians as Juliet to his Romeo -one Of his most superb roles. My French was too meagre. but de Max offered to pay my expenses for SIX months of preparation in Paris.
 Tt was most alluring, Here was an opportunity to appear under the very best auspices before one of the most critical audiences in the world, and with ccngeniaI star. But refused to think of it. The six months preparation was luxury could not afford. So I kept on with my musical comedy work in Lcndon.
 But an opportunity came to ap- pear in Paris later. when I went there in Max Dearly's support at the

 "One of the most delightful expet- fences of that time was my friend ship with Coquelin. He was good enough to take so active an interest in me that T was priveleged to visit him once a week. It was arranged by him that I was to watch his per formances every Thursday, and then have a little talk with him hehini the scenes.
 These weekly visits resolved them selves into lessons of incomparahie value. Of course, in coming into the great actors presence l was very much overawed but he was so kind and paterDal that 1 was soon at D.y ease. He was a very shrewd obs e:y- CT, and on later visits. if ne no- ticed any little affectation CT as- sumed air, he would correct it very tactfully, but very firmly He d. ways insisted on natural express'cn. and was himself one of the simplest and most spontaneous msu I ever met.
 Back of all his simplicity there was great power, and apparently TO end of knowledge. He had the tech nique of the stage at his finger tips and purity of speech at the tip Of his tongue. How patiently he would help me to gain a subtle French ,n- flection, or an elusive French .S iom.
