There i3 do place in
the world where Awnings are

May Sonic Day Become the Great
est American Star.
Blanche Bates made her debut with
the Frawley Stock Company in Salt
Lake City five years ago. She has been
a leading woman of that company con
tinuously since until recently, and is a
prime favorite with theater goers in
San Francisco and other Pacific Coast
cities. Ambitions for a New York
career beset her. When she received
an offer from Augustin Daly she
promptly accepted ' it. She laughed
when she wrote her reply. She rem
embered the day five years before when
she had presented herself, a timid ap
plicant, at Mr. Daly's office. Mr. Dab
neglected the little formality of remov-
ing his hat, which shocked the board
ing school bred girl. "Who are you?"
said Mr. Daly. Miss Blanche Bates j
falteringly explained that she was
"nobody much," but she hoped to be.
"What d'ye want?" asked the manager.
Miss Bates explained her aspirations
for a stage career. "No, I don't want
you," was his "businesslike" reply.
"And now he does want me," she j
laughed gleefully as she wrote an ac
ceptance of his offer two months ago.
She went to New York a few weeks ago.
She played Celia in "As You Like It."
The critics gazed. She played Blanca
in "The Taming of the Shrew." The
critics wondered. She played the Count
ess in "The Great Ruby." The critics
adored and rhapsodized. The astute
manager A. M. Palmer, is saying "I
told you so." He won a $500 wager on
Blanche Bates' success in "The Great
Ruby." Now he is predicting that she
will be the greatest American star. She
has captured the popular fancy. When
her announcement of her sudden with
drawal from the Daly Company was
made she received a flood of letters.
Their writers ranged from the owner
of a Fifth-avenue mansion to a god of
the galleries. They were all cordial,
all anti-Daly, and all predicted phe
nomenal success.
SAMOAN PECULIARITIES.
Apia is located on the considerable
island of Upolu. It is bounded on one
side by the singing sands of the har
bor, white as the back of a girl's hand.
The dust-scurrying trade winds blow
interminably, roaring through the
palms. On the landward side a couple
of insignificant rivers the Mulivai and
the Vaisingano form, with the Pacific
Ocean, a three-sided fosse around the
zone of trouble. For the rest, there are
some ravines and a vast m6b of child
like, bloody-minded, . naive, scandal
mongering, clean-colored natives of
engaging manners and unpronounce
able names, to whom fighting and gos
sip and head-getting is the breath of
their nostrils. The islands lie to the
westing and south'ard of San Fran
cisco, and can be reached by a fast
yacht presupposing that the owner
had no possible business elsewhere in
the wide world in a matter of a dozen
or so days. On arriving, the yacht
master will find just whom Robert
Louis Stevenson found when he turned
his dark and kindly face islandward
"contemporaries of our tattooed an
cestors, who drove their chariots on
the wrong side of the Roman wall."
Very likely these contemporaries will,
for the most part, be found surf-bathing
and fishing.
The inhabitants are Christians,
church-goers, singers of hymns, hardy
cricketers, but withal (perchance by
reason of the acquired veneer of civil
ization) children of nature and head
hunters, devoted to fetich worship and
biased politically by legerdemain. One
who can juggle a dollar in Apia is es
teemed a god. Hermann, had be but
known it, missed a chieftainship,
Houdi-n., a principality, Robertson, had
he performed his watch and fish trick
over the side of a war canoe as he per
formed it over the bulwarks of the
Czar's yacht, would have been pre
sented with a kingdom and a surfeit of
worship.
The islanders eagerly follow after
false gods, but they are not lacking in
shrewdness; they require the high
priests of those gods to be possessed of
a fine order of manual dexterity. In
ordinary life, when cot engaged in the
"speak-house" (a sort of Samoan house
of representatives) or being, to their
own huge delight, flayed alive by Euro
pean copra merchants, the natives
while away idle hours retailing gossip
and scandal with their neighbors. In
times not far back they made holiday
parties hunting heads. Collier's Week
ly. HURRICANE SEASON.
(Army and Navy Journal, March 18.)
Some anxiety is felt by the Navy De
partment over the enforced presence
of the Philadelphia at Apia at the pres
ent time. The hurricane season is at
its height, and it will be remembered
that on the 15th of the present month
occurred the sad disaster of ten years
ago, resulting in the loss of the Tren
ton and Vandalia. News of her safe
arrival will be received in the course
of the next few days it is believed, and
as soon as her services are no longer
required there it is the intention of the
Department to recall her from Samoa,
and in her place to station a smaller
ship there for the protection of Ameri
can interests.
SHERMAN'S CONDITION.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March 24.
John Sherman has been safely moved
from the American line steamer Paris
to the quarters prepared for him on
board the United States cruiser Chi
cago. Mr. Sherman rested easy during- the
night and awoke cheerful and prepared
for the change. The Chicago arrived
here after daylight and preparations
were immediately made for the trans
fer of Mr. Sherman from the passenger
vessel to the war ship. He was carried
on a stretcher, which was laid in one
of the boats off the Paris while in the
davits. The boat was then lowered in
to the water and was taken in tow by
a steam launch. Two umbrellas were
placed over the sick man to protect him
from the sun. Mr. Sherman was hoist
ed on board the Chicago in the same
manner.
RANSOM FOR PRISONERS.
Spain Offers Aguinaldo Money in Spite
of America's Protest.
NEW YORK, March 24 A cable to
the times from Madrid says: Notwith
standing the fact that General Otis, the
Americans, the Spanish government has
refused to rfinction negotiations be
tween the Spaniards and Filipinos for
the release of the Spanish prisoners
held by the latter, basing his refusal
on the ground that the money paid for
the release of the captives would be
used to aid the insurgents againsT the
mericans, the Spanish Government has
offered Aguinaldo, the insurgent lead
er, 5000 pesetas for the release of each
Spanish officer held by hilar, 500 pese
tas for each soldier and 250 for each
civilian.
GERMAN PRESS AGGRESSIVE.
BERLIN, March 24. The newspa
pers here aggressively discuss the Sa
moan question and a portion of the
press maintains that Germany must
adequately protect German interests
there. The semi-official Post, referring
to Germany's proposal to recall all the
tripartite representatives in Samoa,
says: This is the wisest thing all
around, as then new arrangements
would be much easier for all concern
ed and it does not involve the humili
ation of anybody.
The Lokal Anzeiger, Boesen Courier
and Cologne Gazette express amaze
ment that neither America mor Great
Britain is willing to show good will
toward Germany in the matter.
FOUR YEAR ENLISTMENT.
Instructions have been, sent to Ad
miral Dewey, at Manila, and Admiral
Sampson, to enlist for four years all
men with their commands who entered
for the war with Spain but who desire
to continue in the naval service. The
Department officials believe that a
large majority of this class will re-enlist
acd no trouble will be experienced
in keeping the naval quota up to its
full limit allowed by law. It has been
decided to maintain in commission all
ships now afloat, as the increase of
sailors allowed by the last Congress
will enable this to. be done. At pres
ent the enlisted strength consists of
17,660 men, but of this number 2,200
will be discharged as their terms of
service have expired.
ONE SPANISH VICTORY.
Only once in their history as a na
tion have the Spaniards achieved a
naval victory. That was at the battle
of Lepanto, in 1571, when, with the
aid of Venetians and' Genoese, they an
nihilated the Turkish fleet.
In almost every neighborhood there
is some one whose life has been saved
by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, or who ha3 been
cured of chronic diarrhoea by the use
of that medicine. Such persons make a
point of telling of it whenever opportu
nity offers, hoping that it may be the
means of saving other lives. For sale
