JULIA MARLOWE 46 TODAY.

| Miss Julia Marlowe, whose recent retirement from the stage has brought s~--ow and regret to all lovers of Shakespearean drama, is 46 years old today-rather, 46 years young, for not even the cares and worries and ardu- ous toll of nearly 30 years on the stage have robbed her of her youthful spirit and appearance. In bidding farewell to the vast multitude of her American admirers. and settling down to quiet and retired life in her native England, Miss Marlowe has that satisfaction which comes from strict adherence to high ideals. Satisfaction she seldom gained from her work, in spite of the plaudits of her audiences, for she was always her own sternest critic, and her successes were achieved by dint of unceasing study. indefatigab1e i'm dustry and an unwillingness to be content with anything less than her best.
 Born in Caldbeck, Cumberland. Eng land, on August IF, '1870 she came to America at the age of five, spending two years in Kansas, and later re- moving to Cincinnati. She began life as Sarah Frances Frost, but when, at the age, of 12. she made her stage de- but with a "Pinaforen company which toured the West and South, she was billed as Fannie Brough. Later she adopted the stage name of Julia Mar lowe, and in 1894 she became Mrs. Robert Taber Her first husband, who had been her leading man at her first appearance in Romeo and Ju- liet'' in 1888, died in 1904. Mrs. Mar lowe is now Mrs. P. H. Sothern, and her retirement from the stage was CO., incident with that of Ter distinguished husband.
 | Ado Dow, a prominent English ac- I tress, and Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the famous agnostic orator, were real ly responsible for Miss Marlowe's in- troduction to the Shakespearean stage. Recognizing great talent in the young girl, Ada Dow took her to her home in Bayonne, N. J., and there gave her the benefit of a thorough course in Shakespearean study. For four hours in the forenoon the girl read Shakespeare, and in the after noon she impersonated characters in the lays of the Bard of Avon Col Ingersoll-wffo was close student of Shakespeare and who might have been great actor-was interested in the girls career, and gave her much valuable advice and assistance at this period of her career.

dical man who stirred up innumerable
sensations in Honolulu in l906-7, is
packing his trunks at the Indian River
Settlement Of Louisiana to come to
Hawaii and renew his fight for recogni-
tion as the discOverer of cure for
leprosy.
This is the news contained in a letter
which reached HonollIlan a day OF
two ago from Wallach, who states that
he has cured three cases Of leprosy in
the advanced stages at the Indian
River settlement.
Those familiar with the operations
of Wallach here in l906-7 are divided
in cOndemning him as fakir and laud.
ing him az great medical man. He
was arrested in Honolulu for practising
medicine without license, tried for
perjury, released on a tech nicality,
faced the bitter opposition Of Govern
or PiRkham, who was president Of the
board Of health, and the large part Of
the physicians of the city.
Wallaeh does not state the nature
of his latest sO-called cure for leprOsy,
but declares II is certain cure for
the disease. In the letter received by
the HOnolulan, he says he will present
his case to the next Legislature and ask
to be put in full charge of Molokai
for six months for the purpose of de-.
monstrating what he eau do. -.
