Sometimes sheriffs or other officials

legal trial, the report asserts; In
other cases, requiring more moral
courage, sheriffs opened fire on

Clara Morris.

The death of Clara Morris, who was
one Of the greatest of American
actresses in her day, does not stir the
present theater public profoundly, for
there are not many who patronize the
stage at present who will remember
her as a gifted contributor to drama tic
entertainment. She went on the stase
at the age Of about fifteen sixty.four
years ago, but it was not until 1870
that she appeared in New York in Au-
sustin Daly's great stock company
In the first play OF the season Of
1901, Man ana Wife" she was
given a very small part, which. how.
ever, was changed to that OF the gov

that role set New York to talking,

had made a distinct impression. In

tional power. From then until 1895,
| when she was compelled by Ill health
10 retire from the stage. she was
rated as one of the supreme dramatic
artists Of the American stage. Thence
forth he- life was sad. Sickness and
financial difficulties were her portion.
She was almost blind. Actual pow
erty brought her TO the point of acute
suffering Benefits were occasionally
given for her. She wrote numerous
books, to exc out her income. Better
times came and she was relieved of
acute distress. But never again could
she appear before the footIights. Some

helpless old woman, long q stranger
to the public but held in affectionate
esteem by the elder patrons of the
stage. She literally sacrificed herself
to her art, for she threw into her
work such emotional force that she
wrecked her health. Perhaps today
she would not be rated as highly as
in her years of dramatic glory, for
public taste has changed regarding
dramatic technique, but there can
never be a question that Clara Morris
