Since Frank Darby went to Atlanta,
and Archie Grahame to Mississippi
and Charlie Seay to New York, there
is little local gossip or news of the
stage. To be frank there wasn’t any
when they were here, but they would
get together and look and talk so that
one really thought of them as great
guns, and of Rome as the home of
coming actors.
But they have all gone now and
there are no local actors to discuss.
That is a good enough excuse for
going a long way after a bit of gossip:
The very latest telegrams from Lon
don assure us that Mary Anderson
(“Our Mary’’) and her little son are
getting on famously. We call her
“Our Mary” because she chooses to
live in England and see as little of us
as possible. But the most interesting
telegram we have seen in many a day
conveys the information that ‘‘it is
whispered that she [Mary] adores the
little mite.” Why this is merely wbir
pered and not spoken right out in
meeting we do not wholly understand
but we remember that in her old stage
days Mary was keenly sensitive to
public gossip and criticism, and we
fancy that if she knew that we were
aware of b«r love for her baby she
would be exceedingly annoyed.
The right kind of woman does not
care to have her domestic matters
paraded before the world, and if it so
happens that she has taken a fancy to
her little son that is her own secret
and ought to be respected. At the
same time we are secretly pleased to
know that Mary is friendly to the in
fant. Next to a voice that is ever gen
tle and low it is a most excellent thing
in a woman to take an interest in ba
bies, and -when we see a woman cooing
over a very recent arrival our first
impulse, after our escape, is to thank
heaven for the tenderness of mater
nity. Now that it is definitely settled
that her baby is not objectionable to
Mary we believe we may dismiss the
subject without notifying the humane
society.
Apropos of theatricals the sixty-five
million Americans who are waiting
impatiently for the return of Miss
Nethersole are particularly curious to
learn something about her new play,
“When Greek Meets Greek.” They
are wondering what happens when
Greek meets Greek, and if the meet
ing is as thrilling as that delicious
scene when Carmen met Don Jose.
We have no hesitation in saying that
everything depends on the meeting.
Miss Nethersole has set a high stand
ard of meetings, and the American
public is not to be put off with any
thing short of the burningest moments
of burning Sappho. Noneof your cold
and evasive Penelopes for us!
One of the next attractions at
Nevin’s will be Robert Downing in
Edward Dousard’s classic play of An
cient Greece and Gau), ‘Tn search of
happiness.” It is getting enthusiastic
press notices.

Horton Says Republicans Should Do More
Work and Bra;; Eess.
Washington, Oct. 15.—Secretary of
Agriculture Morton, who has just re
turned from a vacation in the west, says
he ‘Will not vote, owing to the distance
of his Nebraska home from Washing
ton and the lack of necessity for his
vote, which he said he would cast tor
Palmer and Bucktier, if it-were likely
to make any essential difference.
“I pesonally hope for McKinley’s elec
tion, as between McKinley and Bryan,”
he said, “but I don’t think ary one of
the candidates can rest on their oars
with assurance. The Republican party
is making a great mistake now in brag
ging of their strength and not doing
more work. ’ ’

existed between Surgeon Hamilton and
Surgeon General Wyman, ever since

and the statement is made on high au
thority that no exception will be made
in the present instance.

WHERE IS SMITH?
Whose Correct Name Bay Not Be
Smith
BUT HE IS JUST AS MUCH LOST
From Hii» T'artner, a Roman of Spo ting
Proclivities, as if
It Were.
Where is Smith?
That may not be his name, but by
any other name he would be just as
much lost.
Smith, or whatever his name may
be, is the fellow who got into soire
trouble at Summerville with a young
Roman. The Tribune has printed the
story of their taking a couple of Chat
tooga citizens in tow, winning their
money, it is said, and then theretalia
tion of these citizens by means of
clubs, brickbats and the like.
The young Roman reached Rome
safely, but has never beard of Smith
since. He and Smith were side part
ners, and he now has Smith’s baggage.
The last he saw of bis partner was
when the latter was going through
the woods at a lively gait. Since re
turning to Rome he has made enquir
ies, and says he paid a man’s way to
Summerville, but no Smith and no
trace of him.
He is now greatly perturbed to
know what became of him. He
thinks Smith would certainly have
come to Rome or would have written
for his baggage, and fears that his
friend’s trouble has been serious.
Sunday’s Tribune will be a
hummer. You should have
an advertisement in it.
STRANGE, GuA
The Sting; Ray and the Sea Lizard Are
Queer Customers.
Tho sting ray, a member of tae skate
family, is a dangerous inhabitant of
Florida waters. The largest specimens
of tho kind, weighing from 400 to 500
-pounds, live at great depths and are
seldom found inshore, but rays from 30
to 40 pounds are often encountered near
tho kind, anil natives consider them to
be fully as dangerous as the octopus or
the much dieaded blue shark.
The fi :b is a l..rgc, broad, fiat be llied
creature, with .eyiscf a golden tint, a
sliaffi, spearlike appendage at the end
of the back and a long, deader tail that
reminds one much of a Liacksuako whip.
This whip tail serves as a lariat with
which an enemy may first be lassoed,
and then the barbed spine finishes the
work by lacerating the victim in a
frightful manner. The’ sting ray is a
villainous creature from any point of
view and has no friends in this or any
other latitude.
In the Atlantic ocean between the
shores of the Bahama islands and the
Florida coast there lives a strange crea
ture known as theglaucus, or sea lizard.
It is seldom if ever found near tho
laud, but seems to prefer deep water and
a hot sea, especially wkeje a strong cur
rent exists. It is wtHl known that this
portion of the gull stream crowded in
between the Bahamas and Florida is
very rapid, and therefore the conditions
so favorable to the sea lizard are here to
be found to a greater degree than else
where in the known world.
As a substitute for fore legs it has two
broom Shaped fans, and from about the
middle of the body, including the tail,
there are several more fins that spread
out like a fan.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
