Although many i»f the cleverest ac
tresses tlif world has known have es-
Hayeil the part, they have, with few
exceptions, fabed In It.
Even Sarah Khldons, probably tho
groat fx t tragic actress of all tlmo, was
ti faUuro as Hamlet, largely owing to
tho nondescript nature of her garments,
which wore neither masculine nor fond
ulno and whlon mttdo It almost Impos
sible to forget that her Hamlet was a
woman and not a man, says London
Tit Bits.
Charlotte CUshrmtn was perhaps tlio
most brilliant player «»f male parts of
her or, haloed, of any other generation.
Nhe was equally brilliant and ootivlnc-
Ing its Borneo, Cardinal Wolspy or

And of her assumption of the difficult
part of Claude Melnotte In "Tho l.ady
of L.von*" Justin McCarthy says; "l
hinn seen Claude Melnotte played by
many groat actors, from Maeready to
Irving, but Mlhh Oushman eclipsed
them all Hho created for me the only
human, the only pna.-dhlo and the oiilj
endurable Claude Melnotte 1 have ever
seen."
Miss Julia Seaman, a onoo popular
actress, was bo severely criticised when
she played llandot Homo yours ago thftt
she turned round on her critics and as
sailed them In a very vigorous manner.
The late Miss Marriott, who had one of
the most beautiful voices ever heard ou
any stage, was more fortunate, al
though It was one of her least success
ful assumptions, und In the fifties an
American hctress, Miss rerey Knowlcs,
made such an unfortunate exhibition
of herself as the melancholy one that a
country manager actually Issued a no
tice warning his patrons against going
to see her.
Ellen Tree (Mrs. Charles Kenni was
tho first to put on Hamlet's doublet
and hose; Mrs. Glover won Edmund
Kean's approval by her playing of the
part, and Mme. Sarah Bernhardt gave
a picturesque and clever rendering of
Hamlet, although it was not to be com
pared with many of her brilliant as
sumptions.
Charlotte Crampton was uoted for
her clever acting of masculine parts,
which would have been even inoro con
vincing If she had not been such a tiny
woman. "There Is a woman," Mac
ready once said, referring to her, "who
would startle the world if she were but
two Inches taller." She was such a
magnificent swordswoinan that few
men cared to try their skill against her
ou the stage, and she was undoubtedly
a genius In her way, with a courage
commensurate with her skill.
She was one of the finest personators
of Klchnrd 111. ever seen on the stage,
her Shy lock was among the most bril
liant pieces of acting in her day, and
she was almost equally clever as lago,
Romeo and Hon Caesar do Bnzan, and
yet when Charlotte Crampton chal
lenged criticism with Hamlet she fail
ed as signally as her rival, Charlotte
Cushman, had done.
Probably the most successful of all
lady Hamlets was Anna Dickinson,
maA* considerable reQujjitlop
Macbeth and Claude Slelnotte. "A
number of women have tried Hamlet,"
she said. "None, I believe, with any
success. Yet, In my opinion, the char
acter of Hamlet is eminently suited for
a woman's Capabilities. Hamlet was
very young a mere college boy, In
fact. Resides, a fine actress Is more
likely to bring out the wonderful wo
manlike delicacy of Hamlet's charac
ter than a very young actor." And she
supported her views by giving an at
tractive and clever rendering of the
part.
CAN YOU SOLVE THIS?
A Problem Thnt Socmi Simple, but
That Will Invite ItiMcuNNlon.
How much greater than three-fourths
Is four fourths?
At first sight It seems an easy ipies
tion, but put It to your arithmetical
friends and you will probably find that
it will divide them into two parties,
one contending that the answer Is one
fourth and the other as positively af
Arming that It Is one third, while both
will be ready to prove the accuracy of
their respective solutions.
The party of the first part (to use a
legal phrase) may argue their point In
this way:
Five shillings is the fourth part of a
pound. If you have 15 shillings, c
three fourths of a pound, and some
body gives you another fourth part you
have a sovereign -ergo, your four
fourths is one-fourth greater than
three-fourths.
Rut this will not suit the other party
at all, and they will proceed scornfully
to point out that the argument Is all
wrong, since If you have 15 shillings
and somebody Is generous enough to
add 5 shillings to It the donor is on
ly giving you one third of the amount
you already jmjssoss (5 times ,'J equals
15), therefore your sovereign Is only
one-third more than your 13 shillings
It Is a pretty problem, and expert
accountants have been known to wran
gle over It for hours. London Answers

Financiers Viewed Route of Iter

In compauv with Charles W. Millar,
president of the Ihtrwick .\, Nuntionke
Electric Bail mud, well known Phila
delphia trolley financiers went ev< r
part of the route of the Herwick \
Nanticoke Electric Railroad with an
idea of determining upon the construc
tion of tho road.
Particular attention was paid to that
part of the road which will he (unit
in Herwick, West Berwick, Briar Greek
and Salem, the purpose being, slated
Mr. Miller, to give that s etion the
best possible trolley accommodations,
working as they will in conjunction
with the Colombia X' Montonr Com
pany, who will alsoextend their lines
in tiiat section.
Mr. Miller stated that tin outlook is
now bright tor the eatly financing of
the road, hut tie stated that those who
had placed their money in the enter
prise did not yi t care to have it known
who would hack the enterprise.
His attention was called yesterday
to a story emanating ftom Wilkes-
Barre to the effect that the company
proposed building the road with a
third rail system, with the plant of
the company uf Herwick, ami further
stating that Wilkes-Barre capitalists
were largely interested therein. In re
ply lie stated that no third rail system
was considered. —Bloomsburg Press.
Shot by a Thief.
Mrs. Fletcher Lyons, a seventy year
old widow, residing near Mocanaqna
was shot while investigating noises in
her chicken coop, Tuesday night.
Mrs. Lyons resides alone a mile west
of Mocanaqua, in a lonely part of the
coantry.but not far from the Pennsyl
vania railroad. Hearing a noise in her
chicken pen, about 1* 80 o'clock, Mrs.
Lyons went to the hack door of her
home to ascertain the cause. Ht r ap
pearance upon the threshold was fol
lowed immediately by a flash of fire
and the report of a gun. Mrs. Lyons
fell to the floor, a load of shot having
entered her face and neck.
Engineer Houser. of Sunbury, who
was running an extra freight train, hy
that point, at tho time, saw ttie three
men fire the shot, then turn and run
away; he also saw Mrs. Lyons fall.
Coining to Fort, Engineer Houser in
structed the telegraph operator to
wire the Mocanaqua oflice of the shoot
ing. Dr. Tressler.of Shicksliinny, was
summoned to attend Mrs. Lyons, and
upon arriving, found the woman to he
suffering severely from the gunshot
wounds atid from the shock, the latter
making a matter of douht.
Btfoie tho noise of tho shot had
died away, an alarm of fire sounded
at Mocanaqua, aud in a few minutes
thi sky was brilliantly illuminated.
Five new houses, the property of the
Kast End Coal Company, and unoc
cupied, were burned to the ground be
fore the flames were controlled.
Tho shooting aud the fire are suppos
ed to be the handiwork of Italians in
that vicinity, who have been causing
much trouble lately. About a year
ago a number of Italians attacked the
operator at Retreat and would have
murdered him hut for the timely ar
rival of railroad officials, (Jinves and
Hrittain.
The crimes of Tuesday night are be
lieved to be from tie hands of the
same gang.

"Oh," ahe Paid, with the friendliest
smile Imaginable, "you are Hobby Ran
dolph 7"
"Of course,' he agreed cheerfully.
"It's been a great while since wo saw
each other, but still"—
"Ro It has," said the pretty maiden
cunningly, "Let me see, Just how long
exactly V"
"Just ten years," snid Mr. Randolph;
"ten years, three months, seven days,
two hours and, I think, twenty-seven
minutes."
"Dear me," she murmured breath
lessly.
"And. by the way, where's your sis
ter? Didn't she come?"
"My sister? said the pretty maiden,
quite astonished. "My sister? Oh—er
—yes, of course she came. Rut she
had a fearful headache, and she decid
ed to stay at the hotel, and I hate to
miss the parade, you see."
"Of course. Too bad she won't sea
It," said Mr. Randolph regretfully.
"The trip was so long and tiresome,"
said the pretty maiden Incautiously.
"Two hours' long! I like that. Why,
It's only forty-eight miles between hero
and Tiuss Christian."
"pittance," said the pretty maiden
sententiously, "Is not a matter of miles
—with me, at least," she added pru
dently.
"Well, we can haven Jolly time by
ourselves, anyhow," Mr. Randolph as
sored her.
The pretty maiden hesitated—that Is,
she would haye hesitated,, tjut Mr. Ran
dolph's cheerful confidence left her no
room to do so.
They walked on rather slowly, for
the crowd was dense, and Mr. Ran
dolph's shoulders acted as a buffer
more than once.
"We'll have time togo and get some
hot chocolate before Rex gets here,"
ho calculated cheerfully. "Look out
there, will you?" This last to a line of
college boys who were going through
the crowd like an animated wedge.
The pretty maiden laughed deli
cious ly.
"You looked so angry," she explain
ed between gasps, then stopped sud
denly because a small red devil, with
battered mask, aimed a shower of con
fetti at her laughing face.
There was a blare of trumpets down
the street and the long roll of a drum.
A wave of excitement submerged the
people. Randolph used shoulders and
elbows with a skill that bespoke long
experience on the football field, and the
pretty maiden found herself In the
front of the crowd. Mounted policemen
paced slowly past her, a band shrilling
forth "If Ever I Cease to Love," and
then Rex and his cohorts.
The pretty maiden dimpled and blush
ed from sheer delight at the gorgeous
spectacle, and the capering maskers on
the fantastic floats ropald ber Interest.
One threw her a great fragrant bunch
of violets, which she clasped with both
hands like an excited child; another
tossed an armlet of brass: a third a
box of French sweets, until young Ran
dolph was hugely protid of her. Then, i
when the last silver tower and shim
mering veil had melted down the street,
he swung her into the crowd again, her
cheeks pink with excitement and the
great purple violets nestling in the furs '
under her pretty chin.
"Now let's have that chocolate," said
Mr. Randolph. They found a corner in
a pretty tea room, and he dispatched a
waiter for their order, while the room
tilled steadily.

was not a lifelong friend.
"Have I?" she asked safely.
"Yes," he repent**l, "somehow you've
changed. You ahvays were pretty, you
know, anil I always was your abject
slave, but now"—
"I've changed?" asked the pretty
maiden mournfully.
"Ymi'rt so so much more so," be ex
plained lucidly.
"You remember," asked Mr. Ran
dolph presently, "how we used to love
each other when you were ten and I
was fourteen?"
"We didn't," she said, with a start,
"rib, nonsense! You cried your eyes
out when I left for school. And you
said you'd marry me when you grow
up and when we said good by—you
kissed inc."
"I did nothing of the sort," cried tho

In Perali, a state in the Straits Set
tlements, the Malays have one form of
amusement which is probably not to be
enjoyed anywhere else in the wide
world.
There is a huge granite slope In the
course of a mountain river, down which
the water trickles nbout two inches
dei p, the main stream having carved
out a bed by the side of the bowlder.
This rock, the face of which has been
rendered as smooth as glasd by the con
stant flow of water during hundreds of
years, the Malays -men, women and
children have turned Into a toboggan.
Climbing to the top of the rock, they
sit In the shallow water with their feet
straight out and a 1, uid on each side
for steering and then slide down tho
sixty feet into a pool of watt:*
This Is a favorite sport on sunny
mornings, us ... my as L'OO folks being

of two, four a* even ei'fnt persons that
they tiimb: • into tho pool a confused
mass of screaming creatures. There Is
little danger In the game, and, though

A cult in c*h ; ia and a craze for china
are not synonymous, but they can lay
claim to have tii • same foundation, and
both have antiquity and very good
people to ha •!; t'icin yes, and to refer
t > as having withstood the Jests and
caricatures of wits and artlats ever
since the Rgyptlans burned tiles on the
Nile.
Hogarth, Charles Lamb, Sydney
Smith and Ralzic have all made their
mark with brush or pen on this fasci
nating fad of fashionable women, and,
to the writer's credit be it said, they
have each shown a very well consid
ered acquaint nice with tho matter,
and the china has always been bene
fited by their interest.
Charles Lamb was not ashamed to
confess to an "almost feminine par
tiality for old china,"and he didn't
mind admitting that when he visited
any grec.t house he inquired first for
the china closet anil next for tho pic
ture gallery. China jars and saucers
have a way of kodaking themselves
upon my memory, and their features —
yes, and their histories—lnterest me as
they did "Cousin Pons."
