“Ring Off, Please.”
They were seated by the fireside,
dreaming of the future when they
would be one; a winsome telephone
girl and her fiance. The small talk
finally drifted to the question as to
who should light the fire In the morn
ing. It was his opinion that It was
the wife's place to get up and start
the fire and let the poor, hard-worked
husband rest.
After this declaration there was si
lence most profound, but only for the
space of about half a second; then the
girl thrust out her finger encircled by
a ring and murmured sweetly, but
firmly: 'Ring off. please; vou hnv<

■ork will be covered with oriental
rugs and divans, and lounging chairs
will be scattered among the palms,
which will convert the room into a
tropical grove.
At either end of the lounging room
boors :• ad to dressing rooms, each of
which might well belong to the boudoir
of a princess.
When Miss Gould's guests in their
bathing suits step through the wide
Uoois at tiie rear of the lounging room
!o the walk surrounding the poo! itself
they will be face to face with the glory
of the $60,000 bathtub.
Gently lapping the marble sides of
the pool will stretch the huge basin of
water. At the end nearest the loung

deep, sloping gradually away to a
depth of eight feet at the farther end.
Pool Fed by Spring.
The water will flow through the pool
in a steady stream fed by a spring far

Surrounding the pool w ill be 16 mar

walk will be marble benches, covered
with rugs and pillows, on which the

There is a rumor that Capt. O'Shea
said to Uambetta: "What are we go

• S«-t a woman on his track." And the
woman, instead of betraying him. fell 1
in love with the patriot, and that
was his undoing.—Recollections of '

Henry Irving
How the Great Actor Watched the
Law Makers at Work and Guessed
Their Characters With Re
markable Accuracy.
Sir Henry Irving first appeared on
the American stage in 1S33. Not long
after his debut as Mathias, in "The
Hells," I had the pleasure of meeting
tke great English actor-manager at a
little breakfast in Washington. Dur
ing the course of the meal he asked
if 1 could take him into the house of
representatives, then in session.
T should like very much to make
a study of ihe members of your house
of congress from a seat in the galleries
where 1 will not be observed." he
went on (o explain. “I have always
found grea pleasure in studying the j
faces and manners of men who are
prominent in public life when they
are not aware that any one in particu
lar is studying them. Then, after 1
have made my studies. 1 am glad to ,
be told their names, for it frequently j
affords me a great pleasure to learn j
that my personal observations have
enabled me to raad accurately tbs
characters of some of my unconscious
subjects."
■^hut afternoon it was not difficult
to secure for Sir Henry living—then
plain Mr. Henry Irving—a seat m the j
visitors' gallery where he would be
fairly safe from observation, and yet ■
could see everything that was ‘aking
place on the door of the house. As
soon as he was seated he became in
tensely interested in the proceedings ;
upon the door. At first he scanned j
the whole house, seeming to take it
in with one broad sweep of the eye.
Then his attention became fixed upon i
one member and he sat silently ob- j
serving him for perhaps five minutes, j
At last he spoke, in a whisper, so
as not to disturb our neighbors.
“I should say that that man is very j
bright, a very chipper person, with ;
considerable literary ability. 1 no- !
tice that he has a very observant eye. ;
I should think, however, that he is
more superficial than deep—that he
might v. rite or speak attractively
without saying much. Have 1 judged
I
Studies SoTons
him correctly? What is his name?"
"That is Samuel S. Cox. commonly
known as 'Sunset' Cox. and your es
timate of him is probably not far out
of the way," Sir Henry was informed.
And then he was told of Representa
tive Cox's literary career and partic
ularly of his gorgeous description of a
i sunset which won him national liter
ary fame and b.ls life-long nickname.
Sir Henry thought a moment
“I should think he would be more
accurately described r.s ‘Sunrise,’"he
said blandly.
A moment later the great actor's at
; tention was held by a man round
| whom were gathered four or five of
, his fellow members, to whom he was |
! apparently speaking, in some excite
ment. about a measure before the
house.
"That man." whispered Sir Henry. 1
after studying him closely for several j
minutes, “is a typical American. 1
should say. as many of us in Eng'and j
typify the American character. He is :
j very alert-minded and knows how to
shake hands, and is completely absorb
od in polities. I should like to hear him
speak 1 judge that he has a high and
possibly rasping voice. Have I judged
him correctly? What is his name?” i
“A fairly accurate judgment.” was
the reply. “His name is Cannon, and
he has a hobby of paring down appro- j
priation bills. He Is very popular in j
his home district, has a good deal of !
influence in the house, and is reported
to be a very keen politician."
"Does he want to be president?"
Sir Henry asked. Hut almost before
he had time to receive an answer, he
suddenly leaned forward excitedly and
exclaimed abruptly: "Ah. there is a
man 1 should like to study!" And
thereafter he sat in silent observation
for perhaps a quarter of an hour.
“1 cannot quite fathom that man's
intellect.” he said at last; "apparently,
he is lethargic, physically, yet of won
derfully keen Intellectual powers. But
wiiat interests me in him is the fact
that his head is a perfect copy, in
contour, of the head of Shakespeare.
The similarity is marvelous. I have
never seen any other head so closely
approach in its characteristics the
best bust that we have of Shakes
peare. Is he a leader in this body?
He should be with such a head. And
what is his name?"
"He is one of the leaders in the
house; he is one of the most brilliant
men in public life today, and his namc
is Thomas Brackett Heed." was the
answer.
"Wonderful—wonderful is the like
ness between his head and that of the
bust of Shakespeare!" exclaimed Sir
Henry under his breath. And during
the rest of the hour that the great
English actor, who had proved himself
so excellent a reader of men's charac
ters. stayed in the house, his gaza
was constantly riveted on Thomas B
Reed.

Cornelius Vanderbilt Showed in His
Will That He Didn't Forgive Ed

'■Cornelius Vanderbilt, grandson of j
the Commodore, who became the head
of the Vanderbilt fortune in 1SS-5. fol
lowing the death of his father. Wil
liam H„ was personally one of the
most lovable of men." once said to
me the late Charles C Clarke, for
many years a vice-president of the par
I
ect system of the Vanderbilt railroads.
"He was very shy. and modest almost
to a Tauit. He was absolutely loyal
to his friends; was very solicitous o!
the opinion of every one with whom
he was brought in contact, and would
never permit himseii to indulge in an
outburst of temper. Yet notwith
standing these qualities, he was a
man of great firmness when once he
was convinced that he was right in
any matter, though his apparently
gentle method of insisting upon recog

Jones’ Prophecy Fulfilled
Nevada Senator Declared That Alaska
Would Ee Found to Be One of the
World’s Principal Sources of
the Yellow Metal.
From the time, in August. 1S73.
when he became chairman of the
monetary commission provided by
joint resolution of congress to ex
amine and report upon the question
if bimetallism, until the silver issue
passed oh the political stage. John P.
Jones. Nevada member of the I'nited
States senate tor 30 years, beginning
In 1S73. was one of the foremost
champions of bimetallism in this
country. His desertion of the Repub- I
tican party in INShi on the silver ques
tion is historic.
About a year after the 1S&6 presi- ,
dential campaign had been decided in
favor of William McKinley and the i
gold standard 1 met Senator Jones. .
and in the course of the conversation
said to him: “I have heard it said.
Senator, that you have changed your j
opinion respecting the use of silver
is a money metal, and 1 have been
wondering whether that report is
correct.”
"I will tell you about that as we
walk along,” he said, and took my
irm. ”! have not changed my opin- j
ion respecting the expediency of us
ing silver as a money metal—at least. I
the opinion 1 held when 1 advocated i
bimetallism. But conditions have :
changed lately, as they changed fol- i
lowing the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia. Before that discovery, the sil- j
ver dollar was really the standard, j
and the ratio between gold and sil
ver was strongly in favor of j
silver. Two factors have served to 1
bring about the present change. One ;
Is the discovery of a process by
which very low grade gold ore can j
be profitably worked, and the other
Is the vast development of gold min :
tng in South Africa and the I'nited
States. These factors have served to
give us more of the gold than we had
it the time 1 was advocating bimet
allism.”
“1 have heard it said. Senator.” I
Interrupted, “that your changed opin
ion might be traced to the fact that
you are interested in a gold mine near
Sitka. Alaska.”
"Oh. no. that statement is not cor- !
roct." ho said, "though I am inter
ested in a gold mine near Sitka,
which, while it is not a very large
one. is rich in ere. But 1 will tel!
you something in regard to this gold
mine of mine that I believe to be as
true as that 1 am talking and walk
ing with you this minute. That mine,
sir. is significant of what is in store
for Alaska. Xo experienced prospec
tor could be found who would say
that a gold mine like this one near
Sitka Is merely an isolated outertfp
ping of gold. Xo. sir. It indicates
the presence of vast and rich de
posits of gold somewhere, although
the outcroppings may not be found
within a hundred or several hundred
miles of the mine."
"Up there, in the remote north
west." he said, "we are going to find
the mother lode of gold, win nee flow
ail the currents of gold that ran
southerly through the entire Rocky
mountain basin. 1 am perfectly con
vinced of it. In my opinion, the
peninsula of Alaska some day. and
most probably in the very near fit
ture. is to be revealed as one of the i
richest cold bearing regions in the
entire world. I am now of too ad- '
vanced years personally to visit and
make explorations of that territory.
There are younger men who will at
tend to that—in fact, are doing this :
work now. 1 shall not be surprised
to hear any day of rich gold discov
eries made by some of them. Then
will follow gradual but certain ex
ploration until, at last, the mother
lode is found. And because I believe
all this—because my miner’s training '
tells me implicitly that this is so and
leads me to make *o you this prophe
cy of gold—I suppose it has been
said of me that the little gold mine
in which 1 am interested has caused
me to change my views on bimetal
lism." ’
It was only a little more than a
year after my conversation with Sen
ator Jones that the world was star
tled with the first reports telling of
wonderful discoveries of gold in the
Yukon district of Alaska. Today.
Alaska is one of the world’s princi- !
pal sources of the yellow metal. And
the development of the territory is
in its infancy.

"Whin Mr. Vanderbilt succeeded
Ms father as directing authority o!
the New York Central system, inti
mate relations had been maintained
for years between the Vanderbilt fam
iiv and one of the oldest trust insti
tutions of New York This intimacy
■ dated hack to the days of the Commo
j dope himself, and Cornelius Varder
i bilt. as the head of the family, en
1 couraged and maintained it. Imag
ine his surprise, therefore, when tha
late Edward King, president of the
institution, said to Mr. Vanderbilt
one day that he was anxious that a
gentleman of high financial standing
: w ith whom it was generally known
1 that Mr. Vanderbilt was not on friend
ly terms, should be elected to fill a
vacancy in the board of directors of
i the trust company. No other name
■ could have been more distasteful to
Mr. Vanderbilt; still, in his character
1 istically gentle manner, h? ventured
to protest against the selection of the
man.
“ ’It is my view.’ he said, ’that In
i the directorate of an important bank
ing institution such as ours is there
should be as far as possible complete
cordiality and harmony among the
various members. Certainly, there
should not be elected to the director
ate any one with whom another di
rector cannot hold personal commu
nication.
“Now. you would suppose, wouldn’t
1 you.” continued Mr. Clarke, "that a
plea of that kind would have been suf
ficient to cause Mr. King to change
his mind about wanting the man on
the board of directors? But it wasn’t;
Mr. King was ’sot’ on having his own
way. The man was elected a director,
and because Mr. Vanderbilt made no
further complaint of any sort. Mr.
King speedily became convinced that
Mr. Vanderbilt had become reconciled
! to his friend's election, to Mr. King's
inward satisfaction.
“But how gravely mistaken Mr.
King was in his estimate of Mr. Van
derbilt's character was made plain
to us who knew Cornelius Vanderbilt
and his ways well when, following the
reading of his will after his death
In 1SS9. it was discovered that by a
codicil he had transferred a most im
1 portant trust, which he had at first
■stablisbed with Mr King's company,
te the strongest rival of that institu
tion.”

TWO WORLD FAMED GRANNIES
One of These Talented Women Is
Sarah Bernhardt and the Other
Ellen Terry.
Two famous grandmothers are dis
tinguished visitors of this country. Re
ferring to these talented ladles The
Rochester Post Express says: ‘ One of
the grandmothers is Mine. Sarah Bern
hardt; the other is Ellen Terry. Both
actresses have reached an age when It
Is permissible to retire from active
life; but the French actress is said to
be as energetic as a woman half her
age. while Eilen Terry Is declared to
be as young as ever she was in the
palmy days when she and Henry Irv
ing ruled the theatrical world of Eng
land. Miss Terry has retired from the
stage so far as acting is concerned,
and has taken to lecturing on Shakes
peare's homines. And who could Jo
better than she who has played so
many of the womanly women of the
great dramatist? Readers of her
breezy biography know what she
thinks of Portia. Beatrice. Voila, Rosa
lind and other famous women of the
tragedies and comedies, but no print
ed page could charm as does the won
derfully expressive features and the
velvet voice of the greatest living
English-speaking actress."
Wny C-o They.
Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
It may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim
sical. Past the follies and frivolities
| of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property
Opinions why women like the bald
! beaded man obtained by the Daily
Mirrcr are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
cicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.

Are Nearly Always Insane
Pi of. Gaupp Says tne Majority of
Cases of Suicides Are Due to
Distraction.
Suicides in many cases leave notes
in which they protest their sanity;
nevertheless present day coroners'
juries are apt to remain true to the
time honored formula. "Suicide dur
ing temporary insanity." That view
is vindicated by the Munich alienist
Professor Gaupp. who has completed
from official statistics a work on sui
cide and its causes.
The writer holds that by far the
majority of cases are due either to
pronounced insanity, or to psycho
pathic degeneracy, all other causes
being relatively insignificant. The
suicide rate shows a continued in
crease in all civilized countries with
the exception of Norway, where the
legal suppression of the drink traffic
is mainly sronsibie for the decrease
In Gerr " ‘he northern provinces
and Saxony have the greatest suicide
rates; Posen the lowest.
Economic crises, business failure,
higher cost of living and religious
mania all tend to send the suicide
rate up. while revolutions and wars
have the contrary effect. The Ger
manic races produce more suicides or
attempts at self-destruction than the
Latin. Slav and Celtic races. Pro
testant countries have a higher rate
than Roman Catholic countries, and
among the Jews suicide is rare.
Men commit suicide oftener than
women; single persons more than j
married persons. The rate increases
with advancing age; only between
seventy and eighty it is lowe? than
m the previous ten years. May snd !
June are the months during which
the impulse to suicide is strongest.
In Europe between 60,000 and 70.000
persons end their lives voluntarily
every year, according to official re
turns. but this figure Professor Gaupp
^ I
considers far below the actual num
ber of suicides.
A Denial.
“They tell me, Jorkins." said Smith
ers at the club the other day, “that
your daughter caught a Tartar when
she married young Blinks."
“Gossip, my dear Smithers. All ma
licious gossip- Nothing of the sort.”
said Jorkins.
“Well it’s very curious, old man.”
said Smithers. shaking his head dubi
ously. "but the stories they tell about
them are very circumstantial. As your
old friend I think you ought to know
the real truth In the matter. They Say
that at dinner last Sunday in a fit of
anger he threw a spoonful of mashed
potatoes at her across the table."
"Lies, my dear Smithers—made up
out of whole cloth," retorted Jorkins
"Why I was there myself at last Sun
day's dinner, and my son-in-law never
even touched the mashed potatoes
What he threw was a dish of pickles
As a friend, I wish you would contra
dict these stories of domestic differ
ences between Mr. and Mrs. Blink*."
