Irving received his guest ,rsth fii?tinction, and Sarah greeted her tort with just that touch of ceremony iiich is expected on the stage: to be dipped instantly for a cordial accept ance of his welcome. She thanked him fcr -->. box be had sent her, and burst E-.0r.-e. like the true "Frenchwoman she ins, bite a shower of compliments on h!s "Matthias. - £sid Ir\-ing, in his polished way: "They arc compliments which I cannot iEsene, but I like to have them, and I ixlpowledpe them as compliments." But Sara:; broke in: "No. ai : o.'iPT 1 '"""**- not as between' artists. I offer y»u n^ne. 1 owe to you the truth You can afford to hear it, as I ccuifl." Her compliments, or -whatever they %at, had to be translated sentence by Eestence into English, so that the full tfect of the explosion was missed, but it tras none the less overwhelming. The color rose in Irving's pale cheeks, and Umd, and the eyes grew luminous and tap. Ke was not sure what impression he Slight have made on a French mind. He coveted Sarah's praise, and he had it la fell measure. He asked me afterward whether she had paid to me in the box is much as she had said to him, and *ten I told him "More," he was con tent. When -we eat down to supper the talk tensed upon things dramatic. To that they kept, and they discoursed through nearly four hours. They discussed tech nicalities, and technicalities of the stage tn not always easy to translate from Preach into English, or vice versa. The fcsaa has a vocabulary of its own. But £ I did not know both French and Eng l"fc l or a particular term I could gen «ally paraphrase, and so the extraordi a&rv conversation flowed on. If it was **cult, it was illuminating. Here were &c two consummate artists of > the French and English theatre; the great est French actress, the greatest English Ktor; and each of them with a more •■■iete knowledge of all matters per tunlag to the theatre than anybody ate the other. As I listened I felt how *&'« experience had taught me and into *a*t new realms of knowledge I was fctoc Efcown the v.ay. I had never 'ttrst co much as I learnt in those *» tt-as It only the things of the fl> » e - I had known both Irving and SJ>SI long and welL But here was a s *» Irving and a new Sarah.

But I like to think of Sarah and Irving as having planted the first seed. It was not known. The newspapers published no account. If Paul planted, there was then no Apolios to water. But it came up as a flower if not as a tree; it had fragrance if not strength; and it had beauty. <^ne hears of girls who wish to go on the stage because they think it an easy Hfe. They might take a lesson, or sev eral lessons, out of Sarah's life: a life of great successes won by tremendous efforts. The public thinks her a genius, and these girls think that because of her genius she may dispense with study and the drudgery of the profession. Sarah herself never thought that. I will offer these ambitious young ladies one ex ample of her method. When "La Tosca" was produced In Paris at the Porte St. Martin I saw it the first night. During- the second entr' acte I went to Sarah's dressing room to pay the compliment one is expected to pay in Paris if one knows the actress. She was playing, we all thought, her best. The success was brilliant, the ap dlmk unstinted. Needless to say, that no? French author, and certainly not Sardou, would allow his piece to be. pro duced until he was satisfied with the re hearsals. Still less, perhaps, would any actress of Sarah's position come before the footlights until her own conception and composition of a new part were to her mind, and until the ensemble was complete. In fact, these things are taken for granted. The French critic" is inexorable; the French audience not less so. and a play not perfectly re hearsed would get scant mercy from either critic or audience. The next morning I left for Italy, was gone six -weeks, and on returning to Paris went again to see "La Tosca," and again between the acts went around to pee Sarah. I said: "You are in great form to-night. It is much better than it was on the first night." There came into the face, and es pecially into the eyes, of the actress one of those challenging looks one saw there when she was in a warlike mood. The blue of the eyes, sometimes soft, hard ened into the famous bleu d'aHer, with points of flashing light as hard as the steel-blue itself. I saw the storm ris ing, but I had no idea why. She stood silent for a second or two as if to allow her mood to be seen; then in her most metallic tone: "Ah, you think I play my part better than when you first saw it?" "You certainly do." "And you think it is because I am in good form to-night?" •Well, you certainly are in good form." "Mercl, mon ami. But you are right about one thing. It is better than it was the first night, and I will tell you why it is better. It is because I have worked on it six hours a day for six weeks. That is why." My mistake had been in suggesting that the improvement was because of her being in good form that particular evening. She wanted credit for her six weeks' hard labor. She was then at the summit of her fame. She had done her best with her part for the first night. She had satisfied her public, and the press, and Sardou. "But because she had not satisfied herself— the artist that was in her— she toiled on. And that is the history of Sarah Bernhardt's art life. G. W. S. OTHERS AID WORBERT CHILD Little "Blind Man's Guide," Now Re covering, Finds Many Friends. Ethel Worbert. the twelve-year-old girl who was knocked down by an Eighth ave nue streetcar a week ago and taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, will be none the worse for her accident, although it was feared at the time that the consequences would be serious. Her face even will not be scarred. The case excited much sympathy, as the girl had been accustomed to lead her blind father to and from the Cristopher street station of the Hudson tunnel, where he stands all day and sells newspapers. Eight years ago he was a butcher, but lost his sight, he ssfys, through neuralgia, contract ed by constantly going in and out of the big refrigerators. Ethel Worbert received $10 through The Tribune some days ago from employee of the firm of P. K. Wilson & Co., silk mer chants at No. 130 Fifth avenue, and yester day received $20 more through The Tribune. This came from an unknown person in Tenafly. N. J. The streetcar company paid Mrs. Worbert $100 and three firms for which Henry TVorbert, the father, had for merly worked. mad§. up a purse of $120 Besides this the child received $32 from E. G Sutherland, a newspaper man. whoee little daughter personally collected some of the money. Mr. Sutherland offered to pay Ethel Wor bert's expenses in the hospital and will take her to his country home for a vaca tion later on. FUNSTON OUT OF DANGER. I.eavenworth.

Mr Paine said there had been too much legislation In connection with the banking laws, and the making of new laws con tinually threatened danger to the banking institutions, especially the trust companies. He said that every Congress has taken oc casion to make new banking laws, so that now it is dlffi'-ult to get men of ability and promlr.enee to assume the responsibilities VESTRY VOTES TO MOVE ON Church of the Redeemer Will Try to Get Out of Harlem. OWNS VALUABLE PROPERTY Controversy Looked for Should Bronx Site Be Chosen for New Home. The vestry of the Church of the Re deemer, in West 136 th street, has voted to sell the property, move to some other spot and try again to build up a flourishing congregation. It is announced that changes in the population of Harlem have made it impossible for the church, which belongs to the ritualistic class of the Protestant Episcopal denomination, to get on longer in its present setting. Washington Heights or University Heights is the choice for a new location. In Wash ington Heights Trinity and St. Luke's have just had a dispute over the location of a new Chapel of the Intercession, and there is no one familiar with the situation who believes that the Church of the Redeemer will be allowed to enter the field. If Uni versity Heights is definitely .chosen it is expected that the hue and cry against transferring any property from Manhattan to The Bronx will at once be raised. The <:hance."< are, it Is said, that the Church of the Redeemer will have to stay where it is if it wishes to avoir* stirring up an in tensely heated controversy. The property is a valuable one. The church fronts on 136 th street, a few doors east of Seventh avenue, but its grounds extend through to 137 th street. The build ing is a low one of stone, "Gothic in de sign ond well equipped. Among the promi nent laymen connected with the parish is Lawson Purdy. president of the Depart ment of Taxes and Assessments. As there are onb' a few Episcopal churches in Harlem, excluding those on Morningside and Washington Heights, churchmen say there is an ample field for the Church of the Redeemer if it would modify its service?. This church has had rather a checkered career. Back in the 80's, when it was sit uated at Park avenue and S2d street, it was considered one of the greatest expo nents of ritualism, and was the centre of controversy on that account. The Rev. Henry Austin Adams, its rector in those stormy days, later entered the Roman Catholic Church and as a layman became a leader among converts from Protestant ism. It was said at the time that the church's site, or the title to it, was in some way mixed up with Tammany politics. This was denied, but the fact remains that the pite was lost, the parish failed for lack of Income and removal followed. This was after Mr. Adams left, A little mcye than ten years ago the Church of the Redeemer absorbed the Church of the Holy Nativity, in West 136 th street. The latter struggling parish had begun its career downtown and was its«lf the product of consolidation. The Rev. Guy L. Wallis, its rector, resigned and made, way for the Rev. William E. John son, at the time rector of the Church ol the Redeemer. Mr. Johnson himself re signed two or three years ago, becoming priest in charge of a small memorial chapel in Chappaqua. Mr. Johnson is quoted as saying that there were ten thousand Episcopalians in upper Harlem who would not attend his church because of its forms and teachings. To reach these people the rector and vestry offered to lease the church to Bishop Greer. At one time it was proposed to hold two services each Sunday there, one elaborate and the other plain. Finally it was agreed that the Bishop should put in any form of worship he chose. BLshop Greer hesitated at entering what might become a bitter controversy. So, without announcing any decision, he start ed the church again with a new rector, the Rev. William Whiting Davia, who still re mains in charge. Mr. Davis was not classed as a ritualist, but he retained the old forms observed in the church. He is eaid to have had some success, however, in increasing the church's income and num bers. SUFFRAGE MEETING ON LAWN Tarrytown Society Women Hear Talks on History of Movement. The third of a series of woman suffrage meetings under the auspices of the Hudson River Equal Rights Association was held on the lawn of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Riswell Skeel. jr., in South Broadway, Tarrytown. yesterday afternoon.

Mrs. Ida Husted Harper then gave the third of her talks on the history of the suffrage move ment. ASKS SEPARATE MAINTENANCE Son of Hotel Man Brings Suit Against Wife. [By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Chicago. June 25.— What is said to be one of the first separate maintenance suits brought by a husband was tiled to-day in the Circuit Court by Roy S. Sebree. son of James K. Sebree, a hotel proprietor. Sebree, who formerly was manager of the Saratoga Hotel, owned by his father, ac cuses his wife of extravagance and cruelty.

MORSE'S APPEAL_ TO TAFT Asked a Pardon to See His Son Graduated at Yale. Washington, June 25.— Charles W. Mor?e. who is confined in the Atlanta penitentiary. has a son who was in this year's graduat ing class at Yale. In a letter to President Taft, dated June 17, Morse expressed a de sire to be present at the. commencement exercises. He pointed out to tire President that through the exercise of his pardoning power Mr. Taft had the ability to gratify that desire. The matter was referred to th© Depart ment of Justice, but as it is contrary to the practice of the Department of Justice to nermit prisoners to ieave a penitentiary-, except for extraordinary reasons, Mor»« was not given leave to attend the com mencement With the reply based on the assumption that he asked for a full pardon, Morse has been asked whether his letter should be considered as a final request for pardon or were there other facts and circum stances which he would like to have con sidered. In the latter case the suggeston was made that it would be unwise to pre sent the matter formally to the President solely on the ground that his son was to graduate. The officials are aware that Mrs. Morse is circulating petitions in her husbands be half, but none has come to the Department of Justice formally. Even if they are filed In his'behalf the department holds to the view that Morse should first approve at least one of the petitions or in some way indicate that he has nothing further to add to his application.
