The Story of Dumas’ Heroine a8 Told by Mile, Le- grande, The Well-Known TFrench Actress Tells a Romantic Tale Brought to Mind by the Flowers of Lec- oration Day - At the Antipodes. Philadelphia Press, A graceful, charming woman is Mile. Eugente Legrande, the artistic actress, who is now starring at the Chestnut street opera house. She is tall and thin-waisted, and wears her hair low on her brow like the Bern: hardt, Her eyes are large and flash- ing and indicate her geuins: “I met several of your military posts this morning as I was driviag to the park,” she said to a newspaper man yesterday. ‘‘You know we have a similar ceremony in France, only we decorate the graves of all our dead every year, just to keep tho dear ones in remembranco, 1 was thinking as we wero driving, of tho grave of Alphonsine Duvlessis in Pere la Chaise cemetery, Paris. Of course you know her story! No? Why she was the origin of the elder Dumas’ story, ‘La Dame aux Oamelins,' the novel from which the piay of ‘Camille’ was ndapted, and which also inspired Verdi's opera, ‘La Traviata.” Bat I must tell you all about it. When the younger Dumas was a dashing fellow about town he used to make himself eepecially agree- able to ladies. One night at the opera he was particularly struck with the beauty of a certain lady who occupied a box. He followed her brougham in a cab and discovered where she lived ; it was in the Quartier Breda. I need not explain to you whatsort of locality the Quartier Breda is; sufficient to say, that Damas fils presented himself on the following morning to the lady. At first he was repulsed but he perse- vered he was in love, desperately in love with the woman whose surround- ings plainly indicated her conditicn. That woman was Alphonsine Duples- sis. Duamas called again and again, and his earnestness so gained upon Alphonsine that she returned his love. She cast loose all other chains which bound her, and promised to live for him alone. They were to be married, aud then the elder Dumas heard the story. He was naturally horrified at the union hisson was about to make, and romonstrated with him but in vain. I forgot to tell you that Al- phonsinoe is sfflicted with consumption just as Camulle is depicted in the play. Finally the elder Dumas determined to rescue his son at all hazard, called on Alphonsine and begged and im- plored her by the love she bore his son to remounce him. He demon- strated to her the social degradation she would bring on the young man by unitiog her life to his, and at last she consented to repulse yonung Dumas in such a manner as to break off the mar- riage. She was true to her promise now, of course. Do you know flml an Amerioan named Washington Trving Bishop claims to mess the sole right of production of ‘Camills,’ whether in England or in France, The play was originally adapted from tho novel for Matilda Heron, and Bishop asserts he purchased the right trom her agent after her death. If his olaim is just and he brings suit, he will be able to sue for a fortune in royalties from Fanny Davenport, Olara Morris and “several other actresses, including my unfortunate seli, However, sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. Meanwhile, au revoir, it is time for me to go to the theatre.” An 014 Friend. Ho was afflicted with a lame back and coneral debili y; he was recommended Thowas' Ectkethic Orr, which cared him at once. This famous specific is & positive remedy for bodi'y pain, 6d1w NINETY MILES IN BIGHTY MIN- UTES. An Engineer Who Traveled from New York to Philadelphia in One Hour and Tweonty Minutes. From tho Trooflyn Eagle, *I'va mado some pretty good time myself,” said the second engineer. “I took a train through from New York to Philadelphia in eighty minutes.” “Oh, that's child’s play,” said the firat engineer. *“Why, man, I've made that run mysolf, and with one piston rod gone at that. It was a lively trip and don't you forget it. I'd just gou back from a epecial run up through the coal regions, when word came that one of the big guns of the company wished to start at once for Philadel- phia. I knew what that meant, so 1 jumped aboard long-legged Jim, hitched a construction train car behind the tender, and a drawing-room coach behind that, and reported for duty. I knew my engine and I ran up forty pounds more steam than she was marked to carry. When the word came I let everything slide and the old boy jumped in the air, Then he settled down to his work Everything was clear in front of us and I let him out for all ho was worth at the start. In less ’en five minutes you couldn’t a counted the telegraph poles, they flew by us so fast. I had two firemen un’ I just made em carn their passage from the word go. Old Jim must have eat up two ton o' coal inside of ten miles.” *“What!" ejaculated the second en- gineer, “‘Sure!” said tho first engineer. *‘And we hadn't been out of the sta. tion fifteen minutes before every blasted boiler pipe was red hot, and wo had to keep flooding the cab with water to keep from burning the darn thing up. Oh, we was just gettin’ there, my boy, and I didu't let up a pound. HEvery time we took a curve the outside wheels would be at least a foot up in the air, and once or twice the tender jumped clean on to the ties, and old John would yank her back again, and--" ““Ain’t you kind of stretching a point?” asked the second engineer. ‘‘Not a bit of it,” said the first en- gineer. ‘‘Why, afore we was half and within three months died of con- sumption and a broken heart. Prev- ious to her death she sent for her lover and acquainted him with the sacrifice she had made in his behalf, The elder Dumas immortalized her self-abnegation in his novel, but his son keeps her memory green to thi day. Her grave in Pere la Chaise is always fresh with flowers, and on All Souls’ day, the dsy upon which we epzcially decorate the tombs of the dead, the lover, now an elderly man may always be seen paying his devo- tion in person at the grave of the ill- fatad Alphonsine, *‘I have told you a long story, have Inot? But, doyou know, I never thought of Josephine's story in con- nection with auy pirt of “‘Camille” until to-day, although I have played the rele hundreds of timesin England, Australia, Tasmania and New Zza- land.” HER TRIP T0 THE OTHER WORLD, “What induced you 1o go to tho Antipodes?” “What do you svppose? You may be sure it was a large salary. How- ever, I cannot regrec my venture, for I have £pent some of my happiest days in the ‘other world,’ "as tho great colony is called in Europe. Somehow I seem to be a wanderer ever since I made my debut at the Odeon theatre, in Paris, in 1868. I was quitea young girl, but I loved the stage, and my father, who was a treasury official, had interest enough to get me into the Conservatoire, At the OdecnI at- tracted the notice of the emperor and empress—1 was named after the em- press—and at their desive T was trans. ferred to the Vaudeville. What my fate would have been had the Prus- sian war not ocourred, I do not know, However, that event drove me to £n- ¢land, where, as & member of Dejazot’s company, I performed for a season or two at the Opera Comique Theatre, London. I feliin love with Shake- speare and detormined to learn Eng- b:h, 1 studied hard, snd in six months I was enabled to make my debut at the St. James theatre as Ophelia; Alter a year or two I was engaged by Coppin’s agent in London for the Theatre Royal, Melbourne, I love Australia. It is thorcughly re- fined and eivilized, and the society of Melbourne, Vietoria, Sydoey and other great towns will compure favor- ably with that of great cities in Ameri- ca and Eurape, “I learned to ride, shoot and swim out there, and I guess I could aston- ish & tew sportsmen if they were to meet me in the field, I have been days at a time in the saddle and have thought no more of shooting a kan- than & rabbit. Oane of my riends in Victoria was Sir Samuel Wilson, the Australian gentlemen who recaml, purchased the late Lord Beacontield’s seat, Hughenden Manor., One of his estaies, and he has several in Aust: , is 3,000 miles square, and I suppose he possesses three or four million sheep. It is impossible to describe the vastuess of a seat in Australis, On one occasion he gave a friend 20,000 sheep on the condition that the animals be removed the same day. It was the dry season, and am- ple as the pastures were the Wilson sheep were running short of tood and water, and the next morning succeeded in :l:fiuing of them for seven shlllings Not a bad gift, £7,000, How- ever, the donor never missed it. “You have not complimented me on wy acting. Bah! You will flatter way Philadelphia, both of those stokers were down on their ‘knees praying, and I had to do the feeding myself until I awore 'em back to their senses again, Well, everything went well the first two-thirds of the run, and I was just a whistling to myself over the record I was piling up, when there came a report like a rifle, and I knew one of the blasted piston rods had busted. There was nothing to do buv stop, and 1 lost ten fixin’ up. The big gun left the coach and came down to see what was up. ‘What's to he done? said he, ‘I've got one piston.rod left,’ says T, ‘and Il take you through on time.’ He knew me, and he just lit a fresh cigar and walked back to the coach as contented asalamb, Well, I just set those praying firemen to work for all they were worth, and I had her up to sixty pounds over tho lunit. in less 'en no time. Then I let her slide, Lord, Harry, I thought old Jim would jerk the stuffin’ out of everything behind him. We just played hop skotch, and I don’t believe we touched the rails more nor four or five times a mile, I knew it was $100 check or nothin’, an’ I was after that check. Well, those firemen got to praying worse 'en cver, and I had to swear I'd throw them The triend took the sheep, | overboard afore they’d come to time, Itell you we was just movin', the towns got' ruonin’ all together, and we had no more ’en get a squint at one station afore we was five miles past the next one—" ‘‘Hear! hear!” said the second engi- neer, ‘“‘that’s laying it on too strong.” ““T'rue as you're here,” said the first engineer. “I'd introduce you to the praying firemen, but they cut the bus- ess after that run, and I kinder lost sight of 'em. Well, we got within ten miles ot Philadelphin and I beguu to stop her,” “Stop her?? “Yes; [ kuew T couldn't do it inside o’ ten miles,and T dida't quite fotch it at that; for when we ran into the sta- tion we od in the bumpers aud vipped up shout twenty fuet o the platform before old long-legged Jim would agree the run was over, but I got the check,” and the Yaukeo en- gineer thoughtfully drained his glass, as his friend ordered the barkeeper to “‘got "em up aga Never Give Up.
