MARY ANDERSON
How long ago did Mary Ander-
SON retire from the stage? Well,
she has a boy of 10 and eonfesses
to 81 years herself, so it's long
time. But the public has never
lost its interest in the beautiful
Kentucky girl who made Shakes

who, at. the height of her fame,
got married and settled down to
housekeeping in a quaint English
village not far from Stratford-on-

She returns to New York to

SPOILED THE ACT.
An Incident That Enraosd the Aetse
and Amused The Audience.

An Incident That Enrassd the Aetse
and Amused The Audience.
Scme years ago a melodrama was
being performed In country theater.
the chief actor in which had made
himself, from his naughty and over
bearing conduct, disliked BY all. In
the last scene he was supposed to
visit the tombs Of his ancestors. In
the center Of the stage upon a marble
pedestal stood the statue Of his father.
A heavy fold of drapery covered the
figure. Enter Albert, who thus ad.
dressed the statue:
II am here once again to gaze upon
those features which in life 80 often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thy mourning son now comes
to pay thee alteration. Let me re-
move the veil which from the vulgar
gaze shields the beloved image OF 4
once dear parent
on went the drapery, and. behold,
there was disclosed the statue Of the
father gracefully standing upon its
head.
The effect cannot be described. It
was electric. The shouts OF laughter
which followed the mistake OF the sn-
per effectually put an end to the
scene, which changed to the next a.
quickly as possible amid the jeers Of
the audience, the anger OF the mama
ger and the uncomfortable rage OF the
actor.-I4ondon Telegraph.

Diplomats from nearly all Of the In.

interests declared that q countervail-

induce a big increase in production.
and in a few years they believe would
restore the market to normal bal

Meanwhile, with the tariff makers
talking and the diplomats agitating
the Department of Justice is saying
American end of the coffee trust.
AS late as April Is, Attorney Gem
eral Wickersham gave his Bureau OF
Investigation and Research the neces.
sary authority to send several men
abroad on secret mission. 1t was af-
forwards discovered that their bust
ness was to Investigate the methods
of the coffee trust in handling its pro-
ducts. Men have also been sent to
Brazil where this end of the business
conducted by the coffee trust has been
thoroughly investigated. Now the In.
spectors and investigators are making
a systematic investigation OF the trust
methods in the United States.
Just what Is to be done with the
trust, Is of course, not definitely
known. At all events the subject IL
being thoroughly investigated by the
Department of Justice and should con-
gress express desire to have the
trust proceeded against under the

Scottish Students Dress.

The Scottish university student has
a code Of etiquette in clothes as strict
as that Of Elton or Of Harrow. And
into 1t the straw hat enters. On Sept.
Is, be the weather ever SO bleak, the
streets are full Of what the small boy
knows as ''strawbashers." On the 18th
you will find never a one-on stu
dents head, that Is. As for the medi-
cal student, he seldom wears a straw
hat at all or anything in its place. 1t
is his pride to go bareheaded, as 1t Is
to wear q fancy waistcoat and turned
up trouser ends. The arts and divinity
men sedately avoid these last three
fashions.-London Chronicle.

The report about the waiver applica-

make denial.
