WOMEN ON THE STAGE

This date is an important one in the history of the English drama, for ii was under. date of Jan. 3, 1861, that the gossiping diarist Pepys re- corded that he visited the Clare Market Theatre. witnessed q per formance of 'Beggar's Bush" and adds that this was the first time that l ever saw women come upon the stage" As MT. Pepys was a man about town, and not likely to miss any such epochal innovation. we may conclude that this is the 35Sth an- niVersary of that revolutionary change in the drama. A play with out an actress is now almost un- thinkable, but prior to 1861 London theatre patrons had to be content with seeing feminine parts taken by young men or boys. In those days it was thought that female roles were of no particular importance, and about the only qualification demanded fer such part was a smooth shaven face and delicacy of physique and features. It was Charles II. who was responsible for the introduction of women on the English stage He had spent many years of his life or the continent. where there were no prejudices against women acting, and, with his notorious fondness for the ladies, he found the English GUS tom not at all to his liking. One day a theatrical performance was delayed because the man who played the queen had neglected to shave, and the merry monarch ordered that henceforth women be engaged for feminine parts. Nell Gwynn, who afterward became the favorite of Charles IT., was the first English actress to gain widespread popular ity. FraiI as she was to virtue, and with a tendency to hard swearing, the lovely Nell was In many ways credit to the profession in which she was one of the feminine pion- eers.

sented Great Britain. Prince Talley-- rand de Perigord the Duke Of Dal- berg, and Count Alexis de Noailles spoke for France. The Russian Czar and the Prussian King were accom- panied by their ablest advisers. Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and all the other minor German and Italian states were represented by highly i'm portant looking and brilliantly uni formed gentlemen. Only the United States and Japan, and also Turkey, among the nations of importance, were lacking at the meeting.
 For weeks the delegates did little but indulge in a succession of mag rifieent festivities. The Austrian peo- pie were ruined, yet the Austrian Emperor spent vast sums in the en- tertainment of his distinguished guests. Ludwig von Beethoven pre- sented several new compositions to the world at Vienna during this period and assisted in the great mass which solemnized the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI. Prince Metternich presided at the councils, but Talleyrand was the leading spirit of the congress called to remodel the map of Europe in such a way as to further the ambitions of the mon- archs.

PEACE PRECEDENTS.

The only peace congress compara- ble to the one now gathered in Paris in the number of nations involved, was that which met in Vienna fol- lowing the defeat of Napoleon and b1s banishment to Elba. The great difference between the Congress Of Vienna and the present gathering Tn Paris, however, is that in the former there were great and conflicting na- tional interests involved and each ne ton represented sought to get away" with something.
 It is interesting, in the light or what is taking place in Frantk today, to recall some of the features of that memorable gathering at the court Of Francis in the Austrian capital a gathering which had assembled to dynastic interests, whereas the world today Is being adjusted in the inter ests of democracy Present at the deliberations were the Austrian Elm peror. the Czar of Russia, the kings of Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemberg and Denmark, and nearly all the states men of prominence in all Europe.

The commits sion, charged with dividing up the human herd among the kings, was greatly troubled by the exigencies of Prussia, which demanded 3,40O, 900 additional subjects as an indemnity. The congress even discussed the quality of human merchandise and gravely recognized the fact that a former Frenchman of Aix-Ia- -Chapelle or Cologne was worth more than a Pole'

E:N0RM0US LOSS
 BY INFLUENZA Total of 12O,241 Lives and Claims for $52,408,591
 Reported.

The enormous mortality of the country during the past three months from the influenza epidemic is re- hected in special reports of a large number of the more important life in surance companies made to the Jour nal of Commerce. While these fig ures are not yet complete because all the reports have not yet been re- celYed, they already show loss of in sured lives in excess of 12O, OG0, which have resulted in insurance claims az gregatfng over S52, ,408 coo. These fig ures represent the death claims from October 1 to December 24, which are known to have resulted from intlu- enz2 or pneumonia, and many com panies in reporting have stated that their figures are likely to be largely increased when their claim records are completed. Some of the compa- nies were only able to give approxi- mate figures, as their claim depart ments, depleted by the epidemic and the war draft, were unable to keep pace with the pressure of the flood of death claims and too busy to at tempt to tabulate their experience under the present conditions
 The losses to the great life com paniea have been enormous, one com pany, the Metropolitan Life, reporting no less than 75C00 death claims call ing for payments totaIing about $15,- 0G0,00G It is needless to say that the old established regular line companies are amply strong enough financially i to meet the strain of the abnormal mortality resulting from the epidemic.
 Indications are that when the full ! figures are available it will be found that the total loss of insured lives will reach, if not exceed, POO, 600, and that the claims will aggregate in the l neighborhood of one hundred million dollars
