already on the spot organizing the
work of rescue. Suddenly from one

stayed on the rails and somehow es-
capped being telescoped emerged &
stout man still about half-aseep. He
had as yet only very misty notion
of what had happened. He had, in
fact, been so deeply immersed in slum-
Der that he had felt hardly more than
a slight shock. The first thing that
he saw clearly was the project wear
ing his sash of Office and busy attend

clamation of mild surprise. For the

ANCIENT ACTORS WELL PAID
Researches shcw That oldtime Enter
tanners Were by No Means made
quately Rewarded.

Enormous salaries OF actors today
are looked upon as modern innova-
ton, growing with the development of
the American millionaire and the inn
agination of the American press agent.
Such is not the case, says Robert Man
tell, who in his STUDIES in the prepare
ton of his classic repertoire has
come across many bits of curious in
formation, observes the Buffalo Ex-
press. The Roman actor Roscius.
whose name has become synonymous
with ali that is marvellous in a player,
earned a salary which, according to
Mr.. Mantell, puts that warm friend of
Cicero quite in class with Charlie
Chaplin. Roscius drew about $160
daily in the money of his time, which
had a purchasing power equivalent to
nearly ST 600 in United States money,
even without The aid of the war and
the patriotism of the restaurant men.
That brings his annual salary to the
halflnillion mark. Another actor, the
ira yedian Aesopus not to be confound-
ed with the writer of fables, and who
also was friend of Cicero. received so
great a salary that he left vast for
tune to his son. When Emperor YES
pasian repaired the theater of Marcel
lus he gave the tragedian Apollinaris
(whom Winter garden comedian
might dub "the father of waters'')
$4,000 to appear there, but the length
of his services is not stated. To each
of two harpists in the company. Ter
pinus and Diodorus, he gave $4,000,
and no player received less than 3d.
600. In addition he made the actors
numerous special presents of money,
always gold.
Coming down to more recent times
and more modest amounts, but still
comparable with salaries of today, Da-
vid Garrick drew at the height of his
popularity $3.50 a night. Macready in
1889, when he staged for the first time
'Richelieu,' was paid $125 night.
and Miss Ellen Tree, about the same
period, drew the same salary.

CENT INCREASE

That the farmers will not pay the
increased rates asked for exchange
connections by the Moscow Telephone
& Telegraph company but will dis
connect with the central station here
and simply use the lines for rural
service if the public utilities commits
sion allows the increase is the state
ment of j. L. Naylor, wealthy pioneer
farmer and one of the leaders in the
movement which supplied this county
with net work of rural telephones.
Mr.. Naylor left for San Diego, Cali
fornia, Friday evening to spend the
winter, but before taking the train
he made the above statement. Mr..
Naylor said further:
'sThe telephone company does not
own any of these lines. They are
owned by the farmers who built them.
The telephone company gets So per

rural lines for the privilege of using

will fight the increase and if it is
granted they will disconnect their
lines at Moscow and simply keep
them as rural lines for their own ac-
commodation and they can talk
among themselves if denied the con-
nection with Moscow telephones.
"The people of Moscow ought to
take up the fight" said Mr.. Naylor,
''for it will mean much to them if
they lose telephone connection with
$50 homes that are tributary to Mos

interested The telephone company
tried to raise rates on telephones IN
the business and residenc districts of
