EDWK STETFAS, WHO WIVl. APPEAB SHORTLY AT THE ORPHEIM.
EDWIX STEVENS, who was the origi
nal Satan In the Henry "W. Savage
production of the Vienna play,
"The Devil." is on the Orpheum cir
cuit, presenting studies of the charac
ters from the books of Diickens, and
will be seen here in the near future.
Off the stae he still parts his hair
and brushes his eyebrows in the Satanic
way th.-it he appeared In the play last
year. And he stil retains a great and
burning- animosity against Belasco, who
produced a rivaf devil on the opening
night of the Savage production in New
York. Yet this same man is now show
ing audiences how really '"umble"
Uriah Heep thought himself.
Studies of some of the characters in
Pickens are no nov.cjty to Mr. Stevens.
He got his first start in. the theatrical
business by giving "Dickens evenings'"
before various woman's clubs in -and
about New York. and. while he was
reading, making the characters seem
more real by the use of a few wigs and
a little grease paint .during the de
scriptive passages. All the women said,
"My, isn't he jnrt fine," and persuaded
Stevens to try his luck at acting In a
real theater. He made good at the start
and has been at It ever since.
Makes Kentuckian of Missourian
Burt G. Clark Plays Colonel Sandusky Doolittle He Absorbs
the Blue Grass Spirit.
BT BURT O. CLARK.
ALTHOUGH a native of Missouri, I
have been playing Colonel Sandusky
Doolittle so long it Is now seventeen
years since "In Old Kentucky" had its
first regular performance and began
touring I feel as though I were a true
son of "Old Kentucky," and aa such
I can realiie pretty thoroughly the
pulsing throb of loyalty when the
word "Kentucky" is sounded in my
presence. There isn't another state In
the Union that commands love, and af
fection and loyalty as does that "dark
and bloody ground" of the old frontiers
men. Where and when do men's hearts beat
and their hands applaud as to the sounds
of the chorus
Weep no ir-ire. my lady.
Otr. weep no more today;
We wtl! sin one song for the old Ken
tucky h'me:
For tho oM K'titucky home far WW.
Perhaps "Dixie" stirs as much, but it Is
doubtful. I can think of no strain of
music which arouses such intense feeling,
unless it be the melody which holds, the
Irish hearts together, the hsrt-throb of
an oppressed pople "The Wearing of
the Grc?n."
Indeed, the intense loyalty of Ken
tuckians can only be compared to that
of the patriot of Ireland. Wherever he
is. no matter In what company, the
Irishman is proud that he ip Irih. So it
Is with the son of Kentucky. No matter
where he is. he sings the praises of Ms
stat?. he swells with pride at the achieve
ments of her citiiens. he lauds her wo
men, her hors?a and her whisky. To the
Kentuckian there is no place like his na
tive state, and lie to prouder to have been
born within sound and sight of the lovely
Ohio F.iver than if he were a prince of
royal blood.
The sight of a beech tree, that noble
monarch of the forest indigenous to the
soil of the Blue Grass country, will bring
tears of joy to the wear- plodder who is
kept away from his native heath; and
the gentle waving of a field of the real
blue grass", with itsi attendant odors of
Spring-like freshness and fullness, will
make tha exiled Kentuckfan almost kneel
dciwn and worship the slender epsars of
green. Here again the man from Ken
tucky is like the Irishman, to whom there
Is no flower so beautiful as a rprlg of
; shamrock, no sound so dear aa that of
the Irish bagpipe as It drones out the air
of "The Wearln" of the Green."
And rarrly well do these two person-

JOHN BROWN, THE MARTYR
Sentiment in a Southern Town for
the Cause He Espoused.
OAK GROVE. Or.. Oct. 22. (To the
Editor.) The following recollections" of
the John Brown tragedy show the senti
ment in a "border" town. . It was In
Newport. Ky., across the river from
Cincinnati. I was a girl between 14 and
la years old. It was already murmured
around that the South would separate
from the North, and we children talked
about war which was sure to break out
at some indefinite time. Like a thunder
bolt out of the clear sky came the news
one day that John Brown was to be
hanged for freeing slaves in Missouri.
When I think over the matter today, re
viewing past events and the subsequent
election of Abraham Lincoln to the Pres
idency, it strikes me that the great and
beloved war President put into' realiza
tion those grand and world revolution
izing ideas of John Brown, the great
abolitionist. t
Some weekly illustrated German news
paper, published In New York, brought
the pictures of all the events pertaining
to the execution of John Brown, which
we children anxiously awaited, as nobody
actually believed that John Brown would
be executed. The worst happened: The
feeling of John Brown's followers, thfl
number could he counted by thousands.
was about equivalent to that of the ad
herents of Ferrer, the great Spanish edu
cator and patriot. It was simply called
murder. Newport was called the "black
spot" of Kentucky on account of its
overwhelmingly German Republican pop
ulation. A set of turners, young, sturdy
fellows, who afterwards formed part of
the celebrated crack Ninth Ohio volun
teer Infantry Regiment of Civil War
fame, were in the foreground .of the op
posing movement, condemning the un
timely and tragic death of John Brown,
whose only "crime was having a human
heart in his breast beating for his fet
low men, irrespective of color or na
tionality.
Mr. ' Bailey, an editor and newspaper
publisher, who lived at the corner of
Isabella and Taylor streets. Issued his
little weekly edition in mourning garb,
lauding all the good qualities in the la
mented hero dying for hla principles,
and how he would . go tiown in history
as the originator of abolitionism. Mr.
Bailev's eulogy of John Brown incensed
the slavehoiding element of our city to
such an extent that a lot of the young
bloods mobbed Mr. Bailey's printing of
fice, demolishing everything they could
get hold.' The family of Mr. Bailey,
as well as himself, were at the mercy
of these rowdies, and through the wit
of Mrs. Bailey and their two daughters,
who want to the housetop and bom
barded the aggressors with printers' Ink
the lives of the family were saved. Thi
rowdies had left the scene with a howl!
