September Is stands out as the birth
day OF an American singer and an Eng
hsh actress, Ellen Yaw and Mary Vim
cent. Ellen Yaw, who Is sometimes
as a matter of fact, born IN Boston II
called the California Nightingale" was,
is because Of her long residence in Cal
ifornia and her great fondness for that
State that she has been claimed as a Cal
ifornian. Between grand opera engage
ments and concert tours she goes to
her ranch In California, there to enjoy
the benefit of outdoor life and relaxation.
Ellen Yaw, like almost all other great
singers, showed early signs of her vocal
power. Friends who knew her as a
child recall that she used to sing the
children's hymn. Dear Little Lambs.
Won't You Come to the SavIous." at the
tender age of four with such sweetness
OF tone that there was no doubt that
she possessed a remarkable voice. She
studied as a girl in America and then
went to Paris, where after several years
OF study she made her debut. After that
she sang the role OF Lucia in Rome with
enormous success and twenty years ago
she made her debut in New York, in the
same role. Much Of the time since then
she has sung in Europe but whenever
she does come to this country she IL
greeted with very enthusiastic audiences.
Ellen Yaw's voice is especially admired
for its high range and great sweetness
Mrs. Ann Vincen was born In Ports
mouth, England, on September Is, 1873
She was one of the most successful Eng
lish actresses Of her time and IL Is said
that she had four hundred and forty-four
role in her repertoire She was one Of the
most painstaking of actresses and 1t was
said that in spite Of the great number
OF her roles, she was absolutely-pains-
taking in every detail. never varying
with even a word from that Of her part.
Mrs. Vincent was often heard in this
country and William Dean Howells so
greatly admired her rendering Of the
part of Mrs. Malaprop that he said after
he had seen her act: Its a pity that
Sheridan could not have lived to see her
act it"

Loaffng and Begging.

Conditions in Washington, Pa,
complained of by the Reporter, pre-
vail in Clarksburg to a considerable
extent and that they should and can
be corrected no one doubts. The
complaint is against the loafer and
the beggar. The Reporter says:
Burgess Morgan is right in his
ayowed determination to put an end
to loafng and begging upon the
streets of Washington. These are
twin nuisances which should not be
tolerated in any well ordered com
muntty and the officers should be
prompt and effective in enforcing the
law on these points.
A man may stop upon a public
street without being guilty OF loahng.
He may even tarry for space upon
the street and talk with a friend or
with several friends. But when his
stopping and tarrying becomes a
nuisance to other people; when he in
terferes with the ordinary business
of others he is guilty of an oRense
generally known as loating.
The merchants of Washington pay
good money to have show windows
in which to display their goods. The
people of washington have right
to expect to benefit from these dis
plays and thus learn of what it is
offered for sale within. A group of
persistent loafers-and all loafers are
persistent-can easily make a mer-
chants display window of no effect
and can be the means of driving trade
away from a merchant by making en-
trance to his store highly unpleas-
ant experience.
I4oafers standing about before the
store windows or crowding out an
over the sidewalk are far from be-
ing an ornament and are the most Of
fensive kind of nuisance, making
travel along the streets unpleasant
for all. The loafer should be sup
pressed and that right speedily and
eRectually.
The begging complained of usually
originates from these selfsame loaf
ers. The majority of these panhand-
lers who stop you on the street and
