The dread white plague had already commenced it's ravages, and Rachel, having achieved her ambition to see America, returned to her be-. pie en this side of the Atlantic will recall that final triumph and it's pa thetic ending, which came two years later at Cannes. where the beloved actress passed away

young Herbert, and as grain mer- chant he was an excellent amateur actor His friends told him that he had in him the making of a great star, and for once the hattery of friends hit the mark. Determining on a pro fess1onal stage career. he made his bow in the Folkstope Town Hall, at the age of twenty-four. A little later he was introduced to a London audi at the Globe Theatre. His first real success was made five years later as the Curate, the Rev. Robert Spa1ding, in '"The Private Secretary given at that time on his career has been one success after another, with only an occasional failure to give spice to life. His creation of the leading roles in Jim the Penman'' and Called Back" added to his laurels. In 1887. Jubilee Year, when London was the empire, he undertook the manage ment of the Comedy Theatre. and little later of the Haymarket, and proved himself a man of business acu- men as well as of rare artistic talent. For ten years he continued to man age the Haymarket with great sue cess, and in 1897 built and opened His Majesty's Theatre in London, of which he is the proprietor and man ager. In his offices in the dome of the theatre edidce Sir Herbert plans the playhouse the most famous in Lon- don-town. Since the death of Sir Hen ry Irvfng-who, by the way, began life as John Brodrib-Sir Herbert has been universally recognized as the representative actor of England, and the title he holds is a royal recogni- tion of that supremacy.
 In 1894-5 Sir Herbert made a profes- sional tour of America, and the play goers on this side of the Atlantic were enthusiastic in their applause On that memorable occasion he was accompanied by his wife, Maud Holt, an accomplished actress whom he married in 1893.

NEW HAVEN ROADS MISTAKE.
 (New York Evening Post-)


 If one were to single out the chief bIunder of the New Haven manage ment during the past 10 years, 1t would probably be found to be the attempt to com bine a monopoly with poor service. Some people object to a monopoly per SC. They will hate it in any form. But a monopoly that actually serves the community we'll stands a very good chance of being tolerated. if not praised. If 1t is a railroad and keeps it's equipment strictly up to date while trying in ev- cry reasonable way to meet local de- mands for freight and passenger ser vice, it will, at any rate, not breed complaint at every hand. But the New Haven has displayed a kind of malign ingenuity in making itself both a monopoly and well hated. Two courses were open to the directors: They could keep the road in Q state of the highest efficiency with assured financial returns, while leaving troll lies and steamboats for others to op- ate, and not shrinking from a cer- tain amount of competition. Or they could go reaching after everything in sight, in way to hamper themselves financially and insure. while getting a monopoly. the violent dislike of their patrons. The latter Is, in effect, the one which the New Haven elect ed to pursue, with the results now visible. Is 1t not about time to try the other plan?
