BY FORCE OF PERSONALITY
Rise Of Rachel, Foremost Of Tragic
Actresses, TO Fame, 10 an lnspi-
ration to Her Sex.

Rachel. one OF the foremost &C
tresses In history. represents the fact
that personality Is one Of the most
important assets OF womonkind. This
wonderful woman holds place In the
progress OF the drama that is to be
envied. With personality, she COM
PEELED recognition and forged to the
front ranks by dint Of hard work and
earnestness Of purpose.
She Is one Of the startling examples
Of the force OF individuality over an
audience. She held her listeners
spellbound. sweeping them with her
up to the heights and down to the
depths OF emotion With her wonderful
acting.
In "Batazet" and "Andromaque." in
! marie Stuart" she electrified the
house, and even in the monotonous
"Arfane" Of Thomas Corneille, and the
dull "Tancrede" of voltaire she worked
up her audience; by the force OF her
impersonations, to state OF frantic
admiration. Great. indeed, must have
been the power of this young actress
to have not only reconciled the Eng
lish taste to the uncongenial classical
tiles OF French Legitimate" tragedy.
but to have produced in her audience
q positive enthusiasm.
1t Is q genuine fact that many ladies
tainted from emotion during these rep.
reservations. One was carried insen-
sible from the theater, in spite Of all
efforts to recover her. On this circum-
stance being told to manager. he
exclaimed: "Oh. that's nothing! She
ought to have died In the theater. The
effect would have been Tremendous
what a good pun lost!" ..-.
The humble origin Of Mademoiselle
Rachel Is well known, but few. per
haps, are aware that she had not re-
ceived In her youth the commonest
rudiments OF education, and that she
taught herself writing merely by copy
ing the manuscripts OF others. On her
first introduction into high society she
was greatly embarrassed by the con-
ventions OF the table: and the ques-
ton that once arose In her mind at
grand dinner as to the proper use
Of the knife and fork in the consump-
ton. Of asparagus was infinitely en-
barrassing. IS. l~'
Her obscure beginning and her i'm

gives cities the power To own and OPP

The situation In Toledo Is OF inter
est to the people Of Detroit at bis

Whitlock, OF Toledo, explained II to
Frederick T. Bancroft:
For many years the city was un-
able to obtain any concessions from
the company. Whenever we wanted
better service or cleaner cars, the city
would plead with the company for
these improvements. We were always
received arrogantly: we made our
pleas humbly and we got no results.
AT last the people became tired.
With most of the franchises expired
or expiring, the company was con-
tinuing to run Its cars at it's old rate
of fare. and without rights in the
streets was as naughty and selfsuffi-
cient as ever. And then the people
decided to take things into their own
hands.
The council passed an ordinance
ordering the company to reduce it's
fares. It was merely an order to the
company to adjust its fares according

not have been good policy to give the
company anything which could be
construed as an agreement between
the city and the company. The meas
ure was simply an order, an ultima
tum. There was nothing to enforce
1t but popular opinion.
THAT proved sufficient. When the
company saw that the people were be-
hind the councils action. and were de-
termined that after the date specified
they would refuse to pay fve-cent
fares: when the officials found that
they would be given no police protec-
ton, since they were trespass ers in
the streets and not entitled to protec-
ton for their property: when they
saw that they must submit or get out,
they submitted. They accepted the
scale. though they declared that il
was impossible to operate on such
terms. Their officials lost their AFRO.
