Both Have Same Love Of Dra-
matte and Same FearIessness
Of Public Opinion.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-With the
oft-told story of the Stillmans
running rapidly to a close, the
question arises whether the
finger of fate or heredity, which
linked so closely the careers of
Cora Urquhart Potter and her
daughter, Anne Urquhart Potter
Stillman, will fasten itself upon
the future of the four Stillman
children, James, Anne, Alexan-
der, and Guy.
Wherever the tale of Mrs.
Stillman is told, that of her
mother must follow after, for be-
tween the two personalities, as
well as their histories, was
strange connection of chance or
of nature.
Both had the same love of the
dramatic; both had the same fear
lessness of public opinion; both
loved fiercely and hated in the
same manner, and both had the
same faculty for appearing con-
stantly in the public eye.
Mother Striking Beauty.
Cora Urquhart was a striking
beauty of the Creole type, and her
veins carried the same hot mixture
which is attributed to such women.
She was the daughter of prOmi.
nent family in New Orleans when
she met and married James Brown
Potter, of New York, a millionaire
in his own right.
Her dark hair and luxuriant beau.

being the tale of dialect of a cock

Apparently Cora Potter had always
felt a passion for the stage. But it
was "'Ostler Joe" that determined
her action. In spite of her husband s
protests. she left him and her new
born daughter. Anne u. Potter, and
sailed for England.
Stage Venture a Failure.
Stories OF her theatrical ventures
and her love affairs continued to fill
the newspapers on this side of the
Atlantic. But she proved to be poor

Michael Collins said:
"De Valera recently qualified an
earlier statement of his by saying
that whereas he had stood on the
rock Of the republic he now felt
he held a stronger position in that
he was standing on the rock of

rejection of the treaty will not
bring the republic into practical
being any more than it has ever
been a practical entity. He knows,
moreover, that the republican
ideal is as dear to US who support
