CHARLOTTE CUSHMAM.
Glitter Ending of the One Love Affair
OF the Famous Actress.


Charlotte Cushman, the actress.
was in love but once in her life.
She met il Cincinnati, where she
was playing, an actor named Clark,
with whom she fell in love.
Thro@gh her efforts Clark was ad-
vanccd to leading man in the com
panv. and the course Of true love
ran smoothly.
One night the actress met a
strar e woman behind the scenes
between the acts
The woman came up to her and
addressed her thus:
You are Charlotte Cushman, the
great actress. Haven't YOU got
enough men to admire YOU without
coming between man and wife and
robbing me Of my husband:'
"Your husband" cried Miss
Cu~hman, getting excited.
"Yes, and You have taken or you
are trying to take him from me, "
continued the ragged woman, look
ing Miss Cushman full in the face
"Who is your husband:"
Conrad Clark" replied the wo-
man. The father Of this child" "
pointing to half starved, thin lit
tie chiid in her arms.
Miss Cushman started as if she
had been shot.
She went through her part that
night--nctcd it splendilly, brought
down the house; then, after the
performance. she sent for Clark to
come to her dressing room. Clark
knocked and then opened the door.
She brought forward to him his
wife and baby, who had been wait
ing in the dressing room to receive
him.
Such a receptionl Charlotte
Cushman never looked or acted so
grandly on the stage in all her life
as she did that night in her dress
inc room. She waved Clark away
with a greater majesty than ever as
Queen Catherine she waved away
Cardinal Wolsey and then, going to
her hotel, probably she had good
crying spell.
But she never loved again.-Ex-

Trufiles, like mushrooms, belong
to the family of the fungi, but are a
distinct and very peculiar genus.
They are cryptogamic plants and
subterranean, their position under
meath the soil varying from two to
three inches to two feet in depth.
They have no root, stem or leaf and
vary in color from light brown to
black. They are sometimes globu-
lar in form and vary in size from
that of pecan nut to that of .
ducks egg. Their surface is wa
terry and covered with skin. Their
exact method of growth is pot pre-
cisely known. They are, of course,
regarded as a great luxury by the
epicure.

Gretna Green.

Gretna Green, Scotland, became
famous for its celebration of irreg-
nlar marriages. For many years
the average number was 500. The
ceremony consisted only Of an ad-
mission, before witnesses, by the
couple that they were husband and
wife, this being sufficient to con-
stitute valid marriage. After this
the officiating functionary (for
many years blacksmith), together
with two witnesses, signed the
marriage certificate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 8.
The senate will not be able to
ignore the charge made by the
Wisconsin legislature that Isaac
Stevenson, the oldest man in the
senate, procured his election by
bribery and corruption.
1t is charged that Stevenson
literally bought his way through
the popular primary. He admits
spending $111,000 in the primary
He received 56,S39 votes-about
50 per vote. The Wisconsin leg
islature believes he spent far more
than Sill, 900.
1t is also charged that he cor
rupted the legislature that elect
ed him.
When the primary was over,
Stevenson made no accounting of
his campaign expenses as required
by law until forced to do so. Then
he filed an unitemized account
which the committee charges was
so craftily worded by the lawyers
that Stevenson could not be held
for perjury, and yet it avoided
the intent of the law.
Immediately after the primary
charges of corruption were made
and an investigation was started
by the legislature. Stevenson had
