Her face is round d what she allows to be seen of it un: ikled. A frowsy mass of tawny hair completely hides her brow, and any telitale lines that may be writ thereon. A high collar of lace fits snugly round the neck, climbing up behind the ears to the hair line and circling close to a chin that is just beginmng to roll double. A few fine, hairlike wrinkles circle her eyes, ’ but even a rival actress would not say e-T that Madame Bernhardt looked a day over r first rty-fi Madam Sarah’s figure is that of a young woman. She stands erect, graceful, sup- ple. She has no “kangaroo” walst, but is t artists have modeled women—as them. No one ever called Bern- ger of the ist the ruies said nary a word.

The British steamer Royalist, Captain Tierney, arrived last night from Oyster Bay with a cargo of 5800 tons of coal. She will commence discharging at Iol- som.street wharf this morning. ‘When the Royalist leaves for New Zealand on her next trip she will take a load of rall- road cars, in sections. In 1898 6,214 447,000 pleces of mal' matter were handled in the ' United States, of v'hich 2,825,767,000 were letters. Hornby's Steam Cooked Oatmeal interviewed Friermuth and was | but when he was | admitted that there was no truth in the | \ ncidentally the Divine Sarah Declares That San Francisco Hotel Managers Are “Not Gen- tiemen” Because She May Not Have Her Dogs in Her Rooms. did say that she did not consider the Pal- ace “anything to speiak of much,” and that really it was ridiculous that they would not let her have her dogs with her. “I do not believe that San Francisco hotel managers are well bred' she said. *“sne first thing a well bred son does is to be gracious to strangers. 1 do not call it gracious to tell me that I may not have my dogs with me. I am naturally timid and am in the habit of having a dog in my room at night. “What do you think of a hotel,” said Madam Sargh, “that takes your dogs from you and does not even have a vase in which you may arrange your flowers? But then I belleve this is a strange town. I bring my own coachman with me, and when I hire a carriage they will not per- mit him to drive. ‘No,’ says the carriage company; ‘vour man cannot drive; our must.”” However,”” went on Madam , “I shall have all that remedied to- morrow. I shall send word to the car- rlage company to this effect: ‘If I smash your carriage I shall pay for it; if I kill one of your horses I shall see that you are duly recompensed.’ ‘When madam had finished her chapter of woes she turned to her art. “I have no preference for any of the parts that 1 play. I love them all. If I id not I would not play them. L’Aiglon is one of the most fatiguing roles I play. It is the longest I have ever played. To play it I had my halr cut short. To wear a wig through such a long. trying part was too much of a strain. My halr is so thick and curly that you cannot tell whether it is long or short.” Madam Bernhardt is confldent that Americans do not know their Shakes- peare, and declares that is the reason they would have none of her “Hamlet.” Monsieur Coquelin also has his opinlons on Americans in regard to Shakespeare. “When It_comes to Shakespeare,’ says the great French actor, ‘‘you Americans are more royal than the King, more Eng- lish than the English. Shakespeare is sa- ered to you. You have your pronounced ideas as to how a role should be treated, and you not only will not tolerate a dif- | ferent conception, but will not come to see one.” When Coquelin speaks of Rostand and, of “Cyrano” he grows eloquent. His face lights up and his volce takes on a tender tone. : “It is the greatest {play that ever was written,” sald Coquelin. “I never weary of it. The more I play it the more I love it. T look upon “Cyrano’’ as the greatest moral lesson the stage teaches. It teaches a lesson on noblility of soul, courage and the beauty of sacrifice.” Sarah Bernhardt can soeak a little Eng- lish, but she declines to, for, she says, “English will spoll my accent, and when I return to Paris they will say I have an American accent."” Coquelin can express himself more than fairly well in English, but/is blissfully jgnorant of the colloquigiisms of our tongue. s “What do you think of our highballs was the first question a yellow journalist put to him yesterday. “Highball "' repeated Coquelin: ‘‘what is a_highball?” And then when it was ex- plained to the actor that a highball was a drink of whisky and soda served in a long glass he put his hand upon his heart and solemnly assured tae interviewer, in classic French, that ‘never in his life upon his honor, had he tasted a highbal Then the yellow journalist graciously told him he spoke “French very well and ver: distinctly,” and the actor, still with his hand on his heart, explained that acting was an art, and the first requisite of his art was to speak distinctly. Coquelin_spent his first Sunday in town qu.etly. He went around to the theater and then returned home and passed the day in reading. Madam Bernhart in the afternoon. went out for a drive Before she got started when she laughs she shows her gums, but in epite of that there is a subtle charm about her smile and her laugh is as happy as that of a child. She is never still for a moment. She speaks with her hands, her arms, her shoulders, her whole being. Her face and her entire person express e S e e e 2 T e e e e e e e S e e S A B S S S S e BLOOD MAY BE SHED ON THE SALT FIELDS | - | One Firm Emplo;;Armed Men to Resist Land Jumpers at Salton. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10.—George Dur- | brow, the “King of Salton,” says little about the conditions at the salt works, but he has been making quiet prepara- tions to checkmate land jumpers and if | the 1and jumpers prove as determined as Durbrow and his partner, Clinton Wor- den, there will be trouble at Salton, It peaceful arguments will not suffice Dur- brow s prepared to enforce what he be- lleves to be his own and his partner's rights with violence. He has hired in’ Los Angeles four men accustomed to the handling of firearms in any emergency, amd these men will proceed to-morrow afternoon to Salton, there to hold the fort agalnst all comers. If it be found these men are not enough others will be | engaged and the disputed salt flelds will be held at all hazards. Hostilities may not break -out at once. Unless the land jumpers are cowed by the Durbrow display of force.they un- doubtedly will call for similar assistance, 2nd in that event there may be a minla- ture war on the works at Salton. It is | not believed that Durand will tamely stand by or allow himself to be run off the works without making as strong an effort as Durbrow and Worden are put- ting forth to retaln that alternate section ;Ri‘l‘h did not belong to the Southern Pa- B Alleged Embezzler Caught H.

A New Life. The nervous system is the fouatain from which flows the very sssence of life. The strength of the muscles, the impulses of the heart, the motion of the blood and tho power of the brain are derived from the nerves. When overwork, worry, sickness, strain, gnxiety, loss of sleep or improper diet have worn out the nervous strength the whole body suffers. Headache, lost appetite, nerv- ‘ousness, irritability of temper, insomnia, depression of spirits and general weakness and debility follow. There is a new life, new strength and restored health for those who seek relief in the right way. Dr. MILES’ NERVINE offers the quickest,” surest and best relief for & worn-out nervous system. . Try it. “I was so nervous and worn-out f) slckness that I could not sleep. ‘The least ufi" vi,:l'd drull::.melc;:.g and T was go fidgety that I could q wasted away dreadfully, but after menced taking Dr. l(u;"msrvlmA Ial nerves grew steady and I months.” she had a lengthy interview with the car- riage company’'s driver, who stubborniy refused to let her own private coachman handle the reins.
