She had an extraordinarily open mind, writes Miss Terry, and was ready to grasp each new play as it came along as a separate and entire 1y different field of operations, She was extremely methodical and only got flurried once in a blue moon. When we went to America and made the acquaintance of that dreadful thing, a “one night stand,” she was as precise and particular about having everything nice and in order for me as if we were going to stay in the town a month. Down went my neat square of white drugget. All the lights in my dressing room were arranged as I wished. Lverything was' unpacked and ironed. One day when I came into some American theater to dress I found Sally nearly in tears. “What's the matter with you, Sally?” I asked. “I ’aven't 'ad a morsel to heat all day, dear, and I can’t ’eat my iron.” t your iron, Sally! What do you mean?” “’0Ow am I to iron all this, dear?’ wailed my- faithful Sally, picking up my Nance Oldfield apron and a few other trifles. “It won't get "ot!” Until then I really thought that Sally was being sardonic about an iron as a substitute for victuals. Telephone Manners. Do telephones lead to politeness or otherwise? When they first came into use the answer to this question would have been emphatically in the nega- tive, but now that they are almost uni versally prevalent an era of good manpers and “thank you's” seems to be in full swing. In some communities 1t is not even possible to quarrel over the telephone, although the two women ‘who took part in the following conver- sation came near it: “Hello! Is this Mrs. Weston?’ “Yes.” “This is your next door neighbor, Mrs. Lawrence. I thought you might be interested to know that at the pres- ent moment your son Thomas is sitting on one of the sheets which are bleach- ing on my lawn and is building a large pile of mud on it.” “Oh, thank you, Mrs. Lawrence!” ex- claiméd the mother. “And may I re- turn the favor by Informing you that yoyr setter Rab has just rooted up my two new rosebushes and that he seems to be chewing the buds!” “Oh, indeed! Thank you! Goodby!” “Not at all. Thank you! Goodby!” In Great Luck. “I have been looking over my finan- clal operations,” sald Mr. Easigo. “I must say they are more successful than usual.” “Have you been making large prof- its?” “No. I don’t expect anything like that.”” “But you say you were successful?” “Comparatively successful. During the month I have loaned money to five friends, and only three of them have quit speaking to me.”—Washing- ton Star. The Editor’s Sally. City Editor—What do you mean by saylng in this robbery story that “Brown was knocked down and re- leved of a hundred dollars?’ Were you ever robbed yourself? New Re- porter—No, sir. City Editor—That ac- counts for it. If you'd been robbed you wouldn't describe the loss of a hundred dollars as a relief.—St, Louls Republic, Whittier’s Applause. In his declining years the poet Whit- tler was extremely absentminded. He attended a church meeting where there were a large number of persons. As his presence was known, it was deemed fitting by one of the speakers to quote the poet’s lines: . I know not where his islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond his-love and care. Great applause greeted the quotation, and Whittier was noticed to join in the handelapping. “I suppose 1 must have had my mind on something else. I had no recollection of having written the verse,” he sald apologetically when his attention was called to the author- ship.—Boston Post. Deed of Jealous Husband. Hartford, Conn., July 22.—While en- raged with jealousy William Arnold of Middletown, Conn., shot himself dead after having cut his wife’s throat with a razor. The fragedy took place in their room in a lncal hotel. DAMAGE TOTALS HALF A MILLION Destructive Cloudburst in Northern Wisconsin. ALL LINES ARE TIED UP Railroad and Wagon Bridges for Miles Around Ashland Have Gone Out and No Trains Can Enter That City From Any Direction—Light and Power Cut Off as Result of Destruc- tion of White River Dam. Ashland, Wis,, July 22.—A cloud- burst caused heavy loss to all kinds of property in Northern Wisconsin. It is estimated that the total loss will be $500,000. The power plant at ‘White River, built two years ago, was washed out completely. The plant furnished power and light to the city of Ashland and the loss is estimated at $100,000. The state fish hatchery near Bay- fleld was nearly washed away and the millions of fish carried into the lake. The loss to the state will be heavy, as the ponds appear to be destroyed. The Northwestern, Wisconsin Cen- tral, Northern Pacific and Omaha trains are all held up and no-trains can get into Ashland from any direc tion. The southbound train from Ash- land on the Central reached High- bridge, where it was found that a wagon bridge had washed down stream and lay against the railroad bridge. The river valley was a rag- ing flood, over which the train dare not attempt to pass. Railroad and wagon bridges for miles around are down. It is believed that the people living in the valley of the White river escaped, although from Highbridge houses can be seen standing with wa- ter up to the roof. The dam breaking at White River imperils Odanah and the people there have been warned to leave their homes. Several persons are reported drowned at Odanah. Six families near the ore docks in Ashland had to be taken from their homes. FEW MEN RETURN TO WORK Strikers Not Satisfied With Compro- mise Agreement. Butler, Pa., July 22—Notwithstand- ing an agreement was reached not more than one-fourth of the foreigners employed at the Standard Steel Car company’s plant returned to work. The men declared they had no definite assurance of increased wages within sixty or ninety days and gave as an other reason the continued presence of the state constabulary. They said also that they did not understand the agreement as ratified. Rev. Father Beczewski of the Polish Catholic church, who was instrumen- tal in persuading the strikers to agree to the terms of the company,. is using his influence to have the men return to work and says that he believes all will be at their places within a day or two. SEVERE STORM ON THE GULF Surf Washing Over the Sea Wall at Galveston. Houston, Tex., July 22.—Sensatjonal reports of a storm of hurricane pro- portions at Galveston have reached here over a telephone line. All other wires are reported down. Two bath- ing pavilions are said to have been wrecked and Bettison's fishing piers were swept away. The surf is jump- ing over the sea walls in several places. The wind has reached a ve locity of sixty miles an hour. Mobile, Ala., July 22.—Officers of vessels arriving here say that the Wweather on the gulf is very stormy and that the sea is mountain high off the Mobile bar. Vessels are unable to come in on account of the seas and have put back to weather it outside. INSURES HARRIMAN'S LIFE Stockholder in His Roads Takes Out $100,000 Policy. New York, July 22—An insurance policy for $100,000 on the life of E. H. Harriman has been written by Lloyds, London, for a New York broker who has large holdings of Har- riman stocks. His object is to pro- tect his holdings from any deprecia- tion which he regards as likely in the event of Mr. Harriman’s death. Although this is the first policy of this character on Mr. Harriman’s life written in this country by the Lloyds it is sald that a number of similar policies have been taken out recently by English investors. The rate was 7% guineas per cent, equivalent to 8 per cent in American rating. NEGROES IN CARVING PARTY One Dead, Another Dylng, Many Hurt and Thirty in Jail. Savannah, Ga., July 22.—As the re- sult of a battle between members of the Eureka Social club, a negro or- ganization, and negroes employed at Lincoln park, an amusement resort here, thirty negroes are under arrest at the police station charged with riot- . ing. In the battle Joe Barnard was killed, William Young was fatally shot, Murchie Moore was twice wound- 6d, William Humphreys, president of the club, lost one finger and others sustained minor wounds Papke Will Not Fight a Negro. Salt Lake City, July 22.—“Say for me to the entire world I'll never fight a negro. Langford has no chance with me; that’s final. My game is Ketchel.” This was the declaration of Billy Pap- ke when the question of a match with Langford was discussed here.
