Interr.ew with Alice Oates.
Kansas City Times.
The Coates house was the scene of a busy,
bustling excitement at 9:30 o’clock last night.
The Abbott company arrived from St. Louis
on the Missouri Pacific and registered at nine
o’clock.
Colonel Coates was busy himself assigning
rooms to rlie guests, when the Times reporter
arrived on the scene, and led the way himself
to the apartments of the iair Emma, when an
answering message to cards already sent up
hail been received, saying “ascend.”
“Let's go up the elevator,” said the colonel.
The colonel himself run the elevator. During
the excitement of the occasion he was acting
as clerk, bell boy and porter. Wc went up.
The parlor lloor, was passed to the surprise of
the reporter, the second, third, fourth floors,
and finally the elevator stopped/vith a jerk. It
had evidently struck against the roof of the
housa The colonel jumped lightly to tne
floor. Tho reporter followed and proceeded
to room HO, where iu a moment Miss Abbott
came dancing in as brightly as if thoughts of
blistering vaccinnation (on the left limb) hud
never entered her head. Miss Abbott was
dressed in a dark traveling costume of some
kind of cloth. The reporter knew what it is
but he has forgotten. It was not old, hut it
might have been moire antique.
“I always sleep at the top of the house,”
exclaimed the volatile little diva. “I cannot
sleep if there is anybody over my head. And
i must have the room darkened, just as dark
as it can he. They are putting up the curtains
now. Then I cun sleep sounder than any
body. Hut 1 get so excited in these operas”
with a gesture of impatience—“I cannot steep
unless I have perfect quiet after then.’
“Maggi-c-c-e,” in a prolonged falsetto key,
“bring me my cloak.”
The cloak was brought by tho maid, and ns
Miss Abbott put it on she exclaimed: “Oh,
I am in such splendid voice, and I feci so good
since I got over my vaccination. I feel as
if I would like to do something awful,
think you will say you never heard me sing
before.”
“And then the new opera house. That is
grand.”
“Is the ceiling high? Yes. Well, I’m glad
of that. 1 want to <lo my best in Kansas City,
and 1 used to so hate to sing in that old opera
house. 1 wanted to do my best in Kansas
City, the people are so appreciative, but I
could do nothing there. I would just as leave
sing with my head stuck in a feather bag. It
was the same way in St. Louis, until this last
time, too.”
Miss Abbott, herself, introduced the subject
of vaccination—by saying she was so glad she
had gotton over it. lint oh I it was liorriblo
while it lasted. She was vaccinated two
months, and almost tecls the efiect of it yet.
She was vaccinated on the limb, "leg” as she
f iroiiiplly calls it, utiovc the knee, “and what
lorrihlc times 1 had. It made it worse, be
cause I would not break Disengagements, an
would not limp on the atas(e! KvfcVy tiling]
put down my loot I felt as jf a thousand dag
gers were sticking in it. I used to limp up to
the wings this way—and the sprightly artist
illustrated the unpleasant dilemma shp was in
—and then 1 would walk out on the stage as
straight as any hotly.”
“ilow did you do in your famous stage
falls?”
“1 always fell on my right side (with a

it r^H[H^^tiddcr to thijik about it. And
I luRro^irag thyself up into Castle's arms
with that scab dragging right on the lloor. 1
have a bandage around it yet." ' And the diva
ran her hand over her mangled limb caress
ingly ns a mother would smooth the head of
a sobbing child.
"I made every member of the company get
vaccinated,” said Miss Abbott. “And poor
Annandale was so sick.”
Just then a good looking, well made girl
looked in tho door and cried: “Miss Abbott,
have i’ou the sticking plaster?”
“Yes; go to Maggie,” replied the cantatrice,
“and yov can get some. Maggie-e-c, give
Lizzie the sticking plaster.
“Poor Annandale,” she said;* ‘that was An
nulate. But ain’t that awfully impoetie?”
And then with a moment’s reversion to her
self, she exclaimed: “Thank God, 1 have the
use of my legs again,” and the vaccination
question was dropped.
No it wasn’t
Castle was vaccinated-too—on the arm
“And in that beautiful scene in Faust,"
said our Margucritn, "where he leans over to
whisper loving words in my ear, he exclaimed
night before lest: ‘(illit pinching my vaccina
tion.’ I pinched it after that every time 1 got
a chance.”
"You know I am a hobbyist,” said Miss
Abbott. “I was afraid of smaU-pox, and 1 was
bound to have every member vaccinated, and
then I am a creamationist. Didn't you know
that. No? Well 1 will tell you all about it.
“You see 1 was in Washington when the
body of Mrs. Pitman was cremated. With a
woman’s curiosity, and my particular share of
it, 1 was determined to find out all about it.
l)r. I.emoync showed me the whole process.
You don’t bum up. It just bleaches the
Ji><?ues oil nice and white. And then it is so
much eiicaper than an expensive fashionable
funeral.
■'ll ouly costs $12 to be cremated, and I
iold Dr. Lcmoyne that as I was a professional
person I expected the regular one-third off. 1
made a con tract with him to be cremated for
is. I have talked cremation into the whole
company.
Miss Abbott said that on the ninth
day in Minneapolis she could hardly get on
the stage at all, her leg was so sore. As she
went strutting about, she reminded herself of
Grimald^in Hunipty Dumptv, the inimitable
facial contortionist, who could laugh with
one side of his mouth and smile with the
other.
"1 shall never forget Miss Roscwald's kind
ness,’.’* she said. “She sang eight times a
week, and part of the time X could only be
carried on the stage and sing an aria or buf-
lad, supporting myself by a chair, and stand
ing on one leg like a duck. Ain’t it ducks
that stand on one foot? Cranes, you say?
Well, I know I was a goose.”
“Did you sing against Patti in St. Louis
Saturday night?”
“No; I sang in the afternoon. It was the
largest matinee I ever had. In the evening 1
went to hear Patti. She is so delightful. She
(lined with me all the time, and threw kisses
to where 1 was sitting iu the box. She is such
an eatable, kissable little woman. First I
would kiss her, and then she would kiss me.
We pecked at each other like doves. I do
think slie is the sweetest woman on the stage.”
Speaking of interviews, Miss Abbott said:
“Did you see that interview with me in the
Globed Democrat, *Kmma Abbott as a repor-
terr
“It was too funny. I wanted to show it to
1 Patti, but she said 'no. I will read no Ameri
can newspapers. I thought the European
newsjiapera were bad enough, but these are
worse.’ Poor Patti. She don't like the news
papers, they have abused her so much—and
Nicolini."
Miss Abbott said she had had a very suc
cessful season and some of the new people in
the company were great favorites. Of these
there is Alisa Annandale, the contralto, who
took Miss Maurel’s place.
Maurcl is now in Boston, where she has re
mained since the birth of her baby. Miss
Abbott does not know when she will rejoin
the company.
Miss Abbott acknowledges that she lias
been very extravagant during the past year.
Hie has bought many new and beautiful
dresses. One of these is a heliotrope satin,
and fairly loaded down with lace. Miss Ab
bott wore last night a plain jet and diamond
locket for jewelry and turquoise surrounded
by diamonds for eardrops. She has some
very beautiful bracelets. On one is a rose
with thirty-three diamonds representing dew
drops glistening on the petal, and then a lit
tle field flower of marguevite made of dia
monds. The stamina of the flower is repre
sented by an eight and one half karat dia
mond.

every day on account of my vaccination.”

HOW ALICE OATES WILL TAKE IT.
A Denver reporter determined to be ahead
and interview Alice Oates the very night of
her arrival in town. She had retired, but he
knocked at the door in a very determined
manner.
“Whose there?” queried Alice.
“Reporter.”
“What you want?”
“Want interview you.”
“Can’t to-night.”
“But I must."
“Why?”
“Very important."
“Oh dear, said Alice; then she slid out on
the floor, and, mounting a chair, talked to
the reporter through the transom. “Well,”
said she, “what is it?”
Wait," said he, and running away he soon
caino with a chair which he moupted from
the other side. Thus they gazed mournfully
at each other through the narrow aperture.
“What is it, you bad boy, that can’t wait
till to-morrow. AAybody tlead?”
“I wanted to ask you about the small-pox,”
said he.
“What about it?”
“Wanted to ask if you have ever had it?”
“Bless you, no; but they ’haint got it in
the house, have they?”
“No.” „
“Well, then, what did yon want to inquire
about it?”
“Wanted to ask if you were goingto be vac
cinated while here, and if so, whether on the
arm or liko Emma Abbott, you know, .”
“There!” said Alice, “this beats them all.
Well, you may say that I am going to have it
put in the back of mv neck.”
“Sure?”
“Sure.”
“Well, good-by. Thank you."
“Good-by," said Alice. Come again later,”
and thenshe said that for enterprise in search
ing for real news and obtaining it under diffi
culties, the Denver newspapers beat any in
the world.
BARNUM’S BABY.
THAT IS, THE YOUNG IN FANT WITH
IVORY TUSKS.
A Sensation Produced in Sow Haven by the Birth
of an Elephant—The Crowd ot Attendant
Spectators—Barnum Fondling His
Hew Pound Pet.
A FEW REPLIES
To Numerous Inquiries Relative to Florida and Ilow
toilet There.
Atlanta, February 1.—[Special Correspondence.]
—I append herewith answers to a number of private
letters written me concerning Florida, the best
route by which to get there, the price of land, etc.
Traveling in Florida Is expensive. The hotels
range in price from $3.50 to St per day, but are first-
class in every respect. Board may be had in private
houses at from f 2 to S3 a day, but I would not ad'
vise transient visitors to risk this. Steamboat fares
are about #6 for a day and night's travel, including
fare and berths. The boats are very much crowded
now arid cots aroused nightly in the cabins for the
com Tort of passengers. It is not a good idea to buy
return tickets on the steamers, as the discount is
small aud the return tickets are good only on cer
tain boats.
A pleasant trip for persons who really desire to
sec Florida is about as follows:
Leaving Atlanta (it 2 o’clock you reach Jackson
ville at a the next day. Boats can be taken at once
for the river. There is little to see beside the river,
which is somewhat monotonous between Jackson
ville and Enterprise unless a visit is made to St,
Augjirti'jMALiUi'b will required full day.. At En
terprise there Is a good hotel any tolerable fiflihig.
Leaving Enterprise on ^Mondays; and Thursdays Is
the Marian! which makes trips to the head waters
of the St. Johns. The faro on the boat is six dollars,
including everything. This boat carries the traveler
to within two miles of Indian river, and there
are good hacks which make the overland trip. At
Rock Ledcc there is a capital hotel. From this
point sail boats to accommodate a dozen people
hough-not with comfortable sleeping accommoda
tions, can be chartered for three or four dollars per
day to make trips either up or down the river or to
tho ocean. If I were to take the trip again I would
go to Enterprise, spend a day or two fishing there,
give n day perhaps, to the Georgia colony at San
ford, which is just across the lake, and then go im
mediately to the upper St. Johns aud Indian rivers.
The villages of Florida this side of Enterprisedifier
but little from villages in any other state, except
that orange trees are substituted for apple trees.
After-leaving Enterprise the entire character of the
scenery changes, and one is thoroughly iu the
tropics. The constant fishing and shooting between
Sanford and Jacksonville has made game some
what scarce, although there Is good sport to be had
by taking the railroad or private conveyance for
excursions from the beaten track. At Enterprise
there is pretty good fishing, Judge Hillyer’s record
while there ranging from twelve to twenty-two
trout daily. At the head of the St. Johns, the
most ordinary fisher can take from twenty-five to
one hundred trout daily. There is no quail shoot
ing in the state to compare with the same sport in
Georgia. The duck shooting this year is bad, owing
to the warmth of the season, but vast flocks can
be found by anyone who is willing
to wade after them. Deer are shot
Constantly and th* hotels are supplied with veni
son and daily shipments made to other markets.
The fruit is much finer on Indian river than it is
higher up in the state. A three weeks trip on this
route ought not to eost over a hundred and twenty-
five dollars to the person, and can hardly be made
comfortably for less. I would not advise the taking
of servants or dogs, as hunters can be found at
every locality ready for a small sum to poiut out
the ganio.
It is Impossible to advise as to where it is best to
purchase lauds iu Florida, or whether it is best to
purchase at all. Orange growing certainly prom
ises a very large profit and has succeeded admira
bly with those who have given it a iair trial'up to
date. That it must grow Into an enormous indus
try rannot be doubled. There re so many contin
gencies involved, however, in the selection of ,a
proper location that no one should buy without a
personal inspection and without advice from some
one who is acquainted wilh orange culture and
with the character of the land he is about to pur
chase There is no laud for sale on Kock Ledge
Hammock except at prices that put it out of
the question, and this is measurably true of the
best hammocks along Indian river. While al
most anr land in Florida can be purchased It is
held at stiff figures, except where it is owned by
companies in large lots and is of indiscriminate
quality. The best way is to organize a colony of
several people who think of investing, and then let
some trusted person make the purchase for all. As
New Haves, Conn., February 6.—Queen,
the mother of the baby elephant, bad to be
chained, but snapped a beam in two, giving
the attendants a needless scare, for other
chains held. The little stranger was ushered
into the world with loud trumpetings. which
were taken up by nineteen other elephants,
and were answered by growls and cries from
lions, tigers and other animals, and the noise
was terrific. About an hour after the baby
was born it was able to take a few steps. The
little one’s feet were of. a pink tint at birth,
but in an hour they had become dark in
color. Two or three hours after giving
birth to the baby, Queen became subdued
enough to lie down awhile, and in the in
terval all those present had an oppor
tunity to get a better look at the curiosity.
Queen would toss hay over it, try to roll
it about, and manifested a feeling of joy over
its coming and motherly love for it generally.
Oftentimes the spectators would cry out in
subdued tones of alarm for fear the huge beast
would trample on or crush her precious
charge, but clumsy as she appeared to be, she
was as careful as a mother would be of her
new-born babe, and low endearing trumpet
ings told of the pleasure she felt. Barnum
had the baby insured for $30,000 by private
parties for one year. He named it America.
It weighed 145 pounds at birth. Columbia, the
other baby elephant, weighed at birth 213
pounds, and gained one pound per day for one
year. Prof. Arstingstall, who had charge of
Queen, said: “The baby, which stands 2}■£feet
high, will not be weaned in two years. It
nurses, and wc shall not give it any artificial
food for a long time. As you see, it is per
fectly formed, and when you look at it you
would think you were looking at a full-grown
elephant through the smaller end of a spy
glass. Wc have of late been feeding th-e
mother on cracked oats, oatmeal crackers and
bread, and occasionally crackers soaked in
Jamaica rum. We shall continue this diet
for some time. The baby is all right now,
and will undoubtedly live and thrive,
necessary, I could move it to another city in
a week. * By that time if you come here you
will see it running about this ring playful as
a kitten.”
Barnum when asked to approach and touch
the baby declined. “I don’t care,” he said
“I was once asked to go up in a balloon and
said I would gladly if I had two lives.” He
was finally persuaded to fondle the little
stronger, and while the mother permitted it,
it was plain to be seen she did not like it.
after the birth the baby lay on the
straw, a dark-looking object, the size of
Newfoundland dog. Over this Queen roeked
and tramped all the time, uttering fearful
cries. She wtyld tug away with a mighty
effort at the ropes attached to her hind legs,
and rear and plunge like a young colt. Not
even Professor Arstingstall dared venture
near her while she was laboring under
this tremendous excitement. Exhausted by
her efforts the beast would fall on her side to
the straw. Soon recovering she would rise
and give vent to a series of howls, and begi
the same tramping of the ground, tugging i
tliejropes, and endeavoring to free her fore iegs-
frorn the chain which held her to a huge post
in the center of the ring. All this time the
ler circled about the animal, endea
oy endearing words to calm her excitement-
At timeswe way Id .try to pick hen.baby up,
but failing in- this she would sqap at the
trainer and give vent to fierce howls. To
night the mother is approachable. Barnum

“Sez I, ‘Margaret, go aizv wid the money.’
Oh, it’s savin I’ll be,’ sez she, but she spi'nt

and ribbons and sleppers and fo'l-de-rols. ‘The

THE NEW
ROAD TO
FIELDS.
THE COAL
The Georgia FaciQc Mal.cn ltd First Trip.
Yesterday afternoon quite a crowd of peo
ple congregated at the railroad crossing, on
Fotindry street, to sec the first train on the
Georgia Pacific road leave Atlanta for the
Chattahoochee river.
The train was composed of seven
flat cars all loaded with iron.
They were drawn by “ The Samp-
soil,” a Western and Atlantic engine, and at
two o’clock David Queen pulied the throttle
that set the first train on this new road in
motion. On the cars were several Atlanta
gentlemen who have been waiting for years
to see this much needed line 'con
structed, and when the train moved off
a shout of joy went up from those on the
cars as well as from the vast throng which
stood upon the side tracks and watched it as
it 'rounded the curve near the exposition
hotel and then passed from view.
The road to the river was in an excellent
condition, and the run was a rapid one. From
town to the Chattahoochee the passengers
could see the Western and Atlantic road, se
close together do they run. Arriving at the
river Mr. George Rodgers, the con
ductor in charge of the train, an
nounced for the first time the
first station on the Georgia Pacific and then
the passengers alighted, and while the hands
quickly unloaded the cars, took a synopsis of
the work going on at the river.
The bridge they found nearly finished, and
were gratified when told that the iron would
be laid to-day, and that the first train would
pass over'in the morning.
After a half hour had been spent in
examining the bridge and the work in that
locality, Conductor Rodgers shouted “all
aboard for Atlanta by tlic Georgia Pacific,
and in no time the train was running along
at the rate of forty miles an
hour. At five o’clock Engineer
Queen wliist-led down brakes and
in a few seconds the train came to a halt at
the Foundry street crossing and the passen
gers who rode on the first train on the Geor
gia Pacific disembarked and went home to
tell their children all about it. They then
wrote a page in their diaries and pinned a
blue ribbon to the bottom of it and laid it
away for future generations.

An Action for a Breach of Promise, and Agatast u
Fair Becelver.
Philadelphia Times.
All Nicetown is laughing over the discom
fiture of Michael Lycet, who has in no less
than three instances within the past year-been
the victim of misplaced confidence in fickle
women. As a final resort he has appealed to
the courts, and instituted a breach of
promise suit against the girl he last
fixed his affections on. For many years
Michael was one of the most energetic
spike drivers in the employ of the Reading
railroad company at Doylestown, and being a
person of regular habits saved several hun
dred dollars. Having no particular use for
the money he, when 37 years of age, resolved
to indulge in the luxury of a wife, but not
being familiar with the habits and customs,
or, as he expresses it. “the goings on,” of the
gentler s-x, made no progress in his hunt for
a companion until he fell in with a Milesian
named Madigan. of whom he asked assistance.
Mr. Madigan is a fiddler, and is reputed to
know the merits and demerits of every mar
riageable woman between Reading and Cou-
shohorken.
In his hour of despondency Michael un
bosomed himself to Madigan, who agreed for
the small fee of $10 to find a bouncing girl
willing to become Mrs. Lycet. Madigan got
the fee and three days later introduced nis
employer t® one Miss Dolan, but Michael ol>
jected'to certain peculiarities of her visual
organs. Madigan said Lycet was too particu
lar and demanded an additional fee of $10 be

dresses, a bracelet, an umbrella and a tin
type of his own countenance. On the strength
of the grace witli which she received the last
named token of his affection, he offered her
the original, hut she declined the honor, and

new in Nicetown, where he found employ
ment last fall, and two weeks later met a Miss
Casey at a raffle given by a mutual friend.
Michael followed his old policy of courtship,
and soon Miss Casey burst upon the public
with a green silk dress, a pair of $8 gaiters,
a gorgeous bonnet, white kid gloves, and
other highly tinted plumage, all of which
were purchased by “hur Mike,” as Mr. Lycet
bitterly avers she called him. It finally
dawned upon Michael that his courtship was
frightfully expensive, and that week after
week went by without his being any nearer
matrimony than he was before he left Bucks
county. Not long after this Miss Casey jilted
him.
In tijpc—and by the way an exceedingly
brief period it was—the victim’s wounded

The Dyeing of Butter,
New York Sun. '
All who cat are interested to know that nearly
all the butter offered for sale in our large cities
owes its rich golden color to artificial additions.
The Scientific American gives several recipes in use
among butter-dyers. Annotto and turmeric are
commonly employed, but there are also various
compounds put up in cans to be sold to the trade.
For some of these it is claimed that they only im
part the desired colsr to butter, bnt will keep it
sweet and fresh for an indefinite time. Ro-
Tlck’s recipe calls for lard, six
pounds; annotto, six ounces; turmeric,
one ounce: salt, ten ounces; nitre
half an ounce: bromoehloralum, three and a half
ounces, nd as much water as necessary. Theseare
well concocted together, and the sham color is then
ready for use with either.sham or genuine butter.
It is sometimes considered a little difficult to dis
tinguish oleomareerine from the article of which it
is an imitation, and the difficulty is heightened
when the color is good. The semi-transparent
character of the imitation is, however, conclusive
against it. as well as its waxy gloss of surface, and
the false color can be detected by the fact that it Is
apt to separate when the oleom.-irgerine is melted.

Clear and childish, shrill and sweet.

Always to depart reluctant.
