MADEMOISELLE RACHEL.

Mademoiselle Rachel was the tragedy queen of France during the middle of the last century. She died in 1858 at the age of 3S, the age which appears so fatal to genius. An exha usting professional tour in America, entered; upon for needless n1oney-makitig. is believed to have had much to do in bringing the great tragedienne prematurely to the grave. Rachel was the child of poor Hebrew parents, and her talents were first exercised in singing to a guitar on the streets of Paris. When at an early age she broke upon theatrical audiences in the characters of Rox- arle, Camille and others of that class, she created a furore almost unex- amp1ed. Yet her style of acting was more calculated to excite terror than to melt with pity. It is said of her that she was in reality a woman without estimab1e qualities Avarice was the predom1nating characteris- tic of her career. and it is said that she took many strange courses in or der to accumulate money. One re- deeming feature of her mode of life is remembered. however, and that is that she lavished much of the money on the poor family from which she sprang. It is needless to add that Mademoiselle Rachel had several lovers during her short but exciting career.

Insuring Against Devils

Once every year. during the first fifteen days of the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. the curious cere- nnony of Yu-Nan- -Whie. is celebrated, being in fact the paying of homage to the land and sea devils. Seven priests carry out the ceremony by offering up various forms of prayer and making an unearthly noise by beating gongs. Any one wishing to show his respect to the devils can do SO by payment of soc cash. about zz cents. to each of the priests, fer which amount they will continue their performances for twelve hours. which. when you come to think of 1t. isn't such a big price to pet for twelve hours work, For an extra payment of 1000 cash a number of small red paper boats about six inches long, with light inside, will b9 sent floating down the river with &ae current. These lights are for the boheft of the sea devils, who are sup posed to use the lights in order te find their way about on dark nights. Hav- inG finished this performance the per sod on whose behalf it has been car ried out goes away happy in the cont viction that he won't lose any of his family throughout the year either by sickness or drowning. so that the whole ceremony may be looked upon az ans insurance policy At this time of the year many thousands of small lighted boats may be seen floating down the Tang-tse-kiang-

John L. C1em's first education was received onsthe battle field, for 1t was not until 1870, long after the Ciyil war had ended, that he graduated from the high school of his home town. Five years later he was appointed to the army, being sent to the Artillery School at Fortress Monroe, Va .i.
 Clem was just alKtt1e shaver" when Lincoln issued his first call for volun- teers, John Glenn immediately went to Captain McDouga1. whose regiment, the Third Ohio Infantry. was being recruited to full strength in the New ark, Ohio, district. The boy was an orphan. with none to advise him, and Captain McDougal. who had taken a liking to the little fellow. was anxious to please him, but told him he was entirely too young to "carry a gun, or
 
 manded. This was in 1Ss1.s But Glenn didn't lose heart. When the Third Ohio moved out to camp. at Covingtonf Ky, in June, a little boy smuegled himself into one of the bag gage cars, and travelled until the fol- lowing day without food or water. At Covington ne found the Twenty Sec ond Michigan infantry Glenn walked up to the colonel of the regiment and after much arguing succeeded in be- ing taken on as a sort of mascot. and emergency drummer boy. As such he saw heavy fighting at Shiloh and at Chickamauea. where his bravery won him a serseancy and the title by which he was known ever afterward. He fought in the battles of Perryville Murfreesboro. Kenesaw Mountain Peace Creek and Atlanta. where he was twice wounded. All this he did at an age when other boys are learn ing their A. .B. Cs.

''The Sawdust Ring" acclaimed by critics to be one of the very pest photo-dramas ever released from the Triangle studies, will be one of the Plaza's drawing cards for the first half of the week commencing with to- days matinee. ! Bessie Love, that lovable young star, has the role of Janet Magic, young child who, gbbed and snubbed by the other children, finds solace in the com panionship of her one, playmate and decides, after her mothers death, to run away and join 8 circus.
 Her many experiences and ultimate happiness in the finding of her father, who, for many years before, had left her mother after a nisundersta anding, form the nucleus of an unusually bril- liant stony that has plenty of heart interest and pathos.
 With it will be offered an O.. Henry short story in two parts entitled "A Departmental Case" and a. two-act Sennett-Keystone comedy, Some Baby which, is said to be the fun niest- attraction the Keystone studios has released in months.
 A special music score will be, rem dered by the Plaza's large concert or chestra.
