Long Connection With Stage.
Since early childhood Barker has
been connected with the stage. Under
the tutelage of his mother. WELL
known elocutionist, he speedily de-
veloped into what he himself calls
that most Objectionable of juvenile
creatures-the infant reciter." He had
"a wy WTOtS IIttle plays as
far back as he can remember. and
made his real stage debut at the age
of 10. He admits that he was the
worst boy actor that ever tortured an
audience He went through the long
and often discouraging grind of the ac-
tor who starts without capital or in
fluence, until at last he discovered h
proper vocation of playwright and pro-
Queer.
Barker appears to be thoroughly
convinced that he knows better than
the public does what is best for II.
He prides himself on the fact that he
has never yet pandered to a popular
craze. An apt illustration of his readi-
ness to sacrifice money to ideals was
his breaking off of negotiations with
the Millionaires theater in New York,
in the fact Of tempting offer Of $780,
900 for three years. because he didn't
like the way In which the theater wns
arranged, and didn't consider that he
could do justice to his plays in It.

they might have been designed by

second annual meeting of the Tenhes-
see Press Association, will be held in
the assembly hall of the Tulane Hotel
beginning at 10 o'clock this morning.
While the meeting will be of much
interest to the newspapers of the
stale, On account of the many impor-
tant questions now confronting Ten
nCssce for solution, the program has
DcCn made briefer than usual, so
that the editors may have the oppor-
tun;ty Of taking part in the delibera-
tons of the Southern Commercial
Congress which convenes tomorrow.
Rutledge Smith, chairman of the as
ISOLATION, who has in charge the ar
rangements for the meeting, said
Sunday: THE Southern Commercial
& ngrass meeting in Nashville at this
time, made it particularly desirable
appropriate that the press Of the
state also meet here at the same
tine, for that reason that the congress
will be by far the most important
meeting held in the South this year.
This body Yields an enormous infiu-
enco for Southern development and
lIpDuilding and the press being in
such hearty sympathy and co-opera-
t,on with it, the two together can &C
'ccmPllsh untold good. 1t is not often
that two such organizations with snch
powerful influence can amalgamate

iy the work of the congress, and
thereby be in better condition to sup
