BILL TERRISS AND IRVING
Former Smelled the Great Actors
Beefsteak and Was Quick to
Accept the Invitation.

Of his old days at the Lyceum thea
ter in London with the late Sir Henry
Irving, Forbes-Robertson tells many
interesting anecdotes. Among others
is one of William Terriss, physically
the handsomest actor of his day:
Irving was very fond of Bill Terriss.
and was nightly amused by the un
conscious impertinence with which
Terriss treated him. Irving had grill
room (called the Beefsteak club just
off the stage, near his own dressing
room. One night Terriss smelled the
savory odor of appetizing cooking
Fine smell, that, guv-nor!' he said tc
Irving during wait in the wings. Yes.
very good agreed Irving, and added
You must come along some time AND
have supper with me, my boy!' Moth
ing would please me better, guv-nor,

Well, when would you like to come?
Tonight responded Terriss promptly

SEES SLACK PERIL IN AFRICA
Rider Haggard Believes Races MUST al
Some Time Meet in Struggle for
Supremacy.

To my mind the great question OF
the future of southern Africa Is not
as so many suppose, that of the polltf
cal dominance of Englishman or Boer'
but of the inevitable though, let US
hope, far-off struggle for practical su.
premacy between the white blood ana
the black.
We may wonder what are the
thoughts that pass through the MIND
of some ancient warrior of Chaka's OF
Dingaan's time, as he suns himself
crouched on the ground, for example,
where once stood the royal kraal, Du.
p,za. and watches men and women or
the Zulu blood passing homeward from
the cities or the mines, bemused, some
of them, with the white mans SNUG
gled liquor, grotesque in the white
mans cast-off garments, hiding, per:
haps, in their blankets, examples OF
the white mans doubtful photographs
and then shuts his sunken eyes and
remembers the plumed and killed regt
ments making the same ground shake
as. with thunder of salute, line upon
line, company upon company, they
rushed out to battle.-Sir H. Rider
Haggard in the London Times.

Bin Estates Dissolylnq.

Gradually the vast estates OF the
landed and titled aristocracy of Great
Britain are dissolving under the sun
of increasing power and rights of de-
mocracy. The latest scion of nobility
to dispose of portions Of his land is
the duke of Grafton, who has decided
to dispose of all his estates, except,
Ing that In Norfolk. The property In
cludes thousands of acres in North
amptonshire, including the family seat
Of Wakefield lodge. The land Is some
Of the most valuable in England, and
has been in possession Of the family
hundreds of years. Another noble
man, who has decided to cut up his
property, Is the duke Of Newcastle
and last week land of his was sold for
$4,000.

STILL EAGER FOR LECTURES
Idea That People Have Abandoned
Interest In Them Easily Proved
Erroneous.

"The palmy days of the lecture plat
form" When were they? Most folks
would guess before the war, when
Ralph Waldo Emerson demanded five
dollars night and tip of four quarts
of oats for his horse, or a little
later when Eli Perkins used to say
all the asked was F. A. M E. fifty
and my expenses. Wiser ones will
point to the time between 1872, when
Henry Ward Beecher got his first ST.
900 fee, and 1890, when Major Pond
paid Henry M. Stanley 100000 for
100 lectures. They will cite Mark
Twain, John B. Cough, P. T. Barnum
and long list of old timers that got
from $500 to $1,000 night in that
period. and they will tell you that
those times have gone.
Maybe they have, but the lecture
platform hasn't. Those who doubt 1t
may find food for thought In the fact
that two of the oldest lyceum bureaus
recently combined, are actually DONG
business of more than $1,OO0,OOO a
year, mainly west Of the Mississippi
This one combination furnishes lectur-
ers and entertainers during the sea-
son to at least $4,000 cities and towns,
where the audiences aggregate 2,OoO'-
900 people annually. Add to this the
Chautauqua, that has courses In more
than a thousand localities, attended
by over a million people. 1t doesn't
look as # lecturing were dying out.
For instance, on the list of one OF
the leading lyceum bureaus we lind
Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh lecturing
on the reform of legal procedure, DR..
Harvey w. Wiley on pure food. Ed,
ward Amherst OFT on hereditary and
advanced marriage legislation, and
Hon. Frank J. Cannon on Mormon
ism.
Major Pond broke into" the lyce-
UNI business in the '70s with Anna
Eliza, nineteenth wife of Brigham
Young, lecturing on the same subject.
The lecture platform has changed
since then. Individual fees are not
SO high, but the business never offered
better chances to the would-be enter
tainer than right now.-Baltiinore

Roast Fowl.

Take an old hen, prepare and stuff
same as you would chicken. Sew
it up securely and be careful and not
stuff 1t too full Leave room for
stuffing to swell. Place in a large
kettle, pour in boiling water to the
heighth of two inches Throw in giz.

tight and let 1t steam, not boil, for
TWO solid hours. At the end of the
first hour turn the fowl over and
add more water II necessary. When
ready for roasting place in the pan
and sprinkle with salt, pour liquid
over 1t and roast In slow oven tw"
hours, basting very often. In this
way you don't lose any of the juice.
After It is roasted make your gravy
same as usual. Very good.
