Information her officers brought is abso
lutely conjecture only. Her comman

report by wire to Washington, a dispatch
was received from that city by the cos.i
mander of the cruiser Mohican, which was
followed by a greet beetle on that vessel
and preparations for Instant departure.

young actress the later years have given
us," says a prominent dramatic critic, '-I
saw her Viola to-night. It was a perform
ance full of pretty points and full of imper
fections. I don't think I have ever seen
such pretty business as she put in. Tbe
way she handled her little cap was a
study of mixed boy and girl. Her ges
tures were so graceful at times that they
almost called for a round of applause She
had a kind of modern poetry about her.
She read Sbakspeare as if be had been
'leunyson. and sometimes dropped into a
colloquial toua She checked her comedy
just when it seemed to be breaking out,
and the other characters seemed to amuse
her more than interest her. She has a
quiet magnetic comedy ; she hits sentiment,
she has dramatic fire, and they'll all come
out with her development. She has a
charm that has been rare for many years
in Violas and Juliets and Julias youth.
Her uest-sustained part so far has been
Julia in 'The Hunchback.' but she has
done dainty work in everything."

the world for them to eat except dead
grass, 'lhero is some water, but It cannot
be had for sheep, as the cowmen are

tle grass in that section, but it has been
killed by the frost. There have been sev
eral conflicts between cattlemen and
sheepmen growing out of pasturage dis
putes. The sheepmen are moving their

swear they will die before the sheep will

that they will keep moving on and tight

One effect of the recent "hard
time" throughout the co .ntrv is
visible in the great increase in t tie
nuniler of recruits taken into the
armv in the past year and the con
stantly inereasino; number of anplt
citions at the recruiting stations all
over the count ry. In SBe&King of
the present state of affairs, an army
officer connected with the recruiting
service said:
"The army i nearer full ar present
than it has ever oeen si - ee the war.
j The maximum allowance for the
j standing army is by law 25,000, and
out of this number we rarely have
j more than 2:, 006 or 23,000 m the
ra ik. At present however, there
j are only about l.4 vacancies in thr
i whole anuy. and orders have had to
. be issused to the ofHeers in charge of
all the recraitfng stations to restrict
the number of recruits taken in.
"The fact is that it is not nearly
every man who can get into the army
if he wants to, and the lines arc be
ing even more closely drawn as the
amount of availabl material in
creases, so that it is not more titan

he may be rejected again, in which
case the cost of his transp -nation

S humann often was ve;v ai'-entr
mi tnled. and he had a habit of whis
tling in company, oblivious of all
around him One evening he was
invited to a dinner at the house ot
bis friend, lime Henrietta Voght. of
Leipsig to meet a number of guests.
He arrived very late, after the re
past had liegun. He lowed hastily
to the company, spoke to none, but
hurrying to tbe piano began extem
porizing. Alter a while he arose,
with an expression of satisfaction on
his face, strolled around the rnottl
whistling an air, and then iuhinf
to the door disappeared, and was
seen no more that evening.
' On another occasion he visited h's
friend Dorn, saluted him. and then
took a seat opposite his host, but
spoke not a word. In vain did i orn
try to engage him in conv rsation.
Schumann listened with amiable at
tention, smiled, showed interest, but
never opened his lips. At last Dorn
ceased to speak, and the two friends
remained silent for some time, ga
ing abstractedly at each other. Sud
denly Schumann arose, extended his
hand to Dorn. and said:
''When I come to Cologne again I
will rail on you."
"Do so," replied his friend, "and
we will have another opportunity of
being mute and silent together."
Schumann blushed slightly, then
laughed heartily and departed.
