Hamilton Coleman, an experienced
actor, director and producer, has open
ed in Chicago what is probably the
most unique and practical dramatic
school in America. He has an entire
floor and there, with a staff of twenty
assistants, he gives instruction in dra-
matte and musical work, dancing and
practical stagecraft. He is in touch
with all the important producers in
Chicago and elsewhere, and sends his
pupils directly into dramatic and mus
ical companies. He doesn't encourage
pupils without talent, believing that
they are wasting time by attempting
that for which they are not fitted.

cry practical detail. ON which per-
formances are given in professional

Lord Lyons, English minister at
Washington during the war between
the states and afterward ambassador
to France, was diplOmatist to the
core He was exceedingly tactful in
action and had the rare art of keeping
his own counsel. When Sir Edward
Blount called upon him one day at
the embassy in Paris he found that
we'll known journalist had preceded
him. The visitor was laying down the
law in a loud tone. and when, after his
departure. Sir Edward was received
he took the liberty of saying:
"Aay I be allowed to ask If it is
quite wise to discuss state secrets in
such loud tone? l heard every word

There is as great difference be-

Of the notes themselves.

and is printed on one side only. with n
few words and with no pictures or
designs. while ours are completely GOV

Our notes are issued again and egat.,
until they become so worn that they
are no longer serviceable. A Bank OF
England note is never issued more
than once. Every note that comes IN
is Cancelled at once. and then it Is
stored away with other Cancelled notes
to be preserved for certain period,
when it is destroyed by burning.
1t takes many clerks to keep the
