I?
:v
The charming quality of Edna Archer
Crawford's voice has been cultured
through the early study of this artist
for the operatic stage. Not unlike oth
ers of her calling, she devoted her en
tire attention to the finishing of her
dramatic powers, when possession of the
latter was so clearly brought out.- ,
After graduating from St. Joseph's
convent Miss Crawford studied music in
different parts of the country, but it
was at the Chicago College, of Music
that She was given the Bachelor of
Music degree. Study in dramatic work
was best brought to the present finish
of her work by actual experience and
the teachings of stock engagements.
The varied emotions of Shirley Ross
more In "The Lion and the Mouse," of
fer Miss Crawford abundant opportunity
to employ the full range of her resonant
tones. Henry B. Harris will bring "The
Lion and the Mouse" to the Heilig to
night for four days. A matinee will be
given Wednesday. ""
STRAY TOPICS FROM NEW YORK
' New York, Dec. 5. One does not have
to be a hard' boiled cynic to reach the
, discouraging conclusion that virtue Is
its own and only" reward. Scarcely a
dav passes that iJiwh not supply the
most glaring evidence In support of that
theory. An honest man, wno has be
come temporarily embarrassed, finan
cially, will find it practically impossible
to obtain even a small loan, without
going to one of - the numerous loan
sharks, who charge him from 200 to
8000 per cent a year ior the accommo
dation. On the other iiand, any smooth
and unscrupulous ' scoundrel, with a
16ng,; will have not the slightest trouble
In obtaining credit and cash loans, to
almost any amount from capitalists who

V... nf h nnrk authorities a
census was taken the other day of the
soulrrels in Central Park. Many years
..rn omilrrels were numeruus in
Park and their number increased so rap
idly that It became necessary to shoot
a large number every year to prevent
them from becoming a nuisance. It was
ascertained by the census that the num
bed of squirrels has greatly decreased
during the last two years, so much in
fact that it will be necessary to re
stock Central Park with squirrels next
vear. Two reasons are given to account
for this decrease in the number of
squirrels. Tho squirrels are fed so
liberally by visitors, that they have
practically abandoned their way of liv
ing like wild creatures. .They have be-
eome U-y and inactive and enervated
bv their opulent way of living. The
result has been that the squirrels now
do not pair at all, .or, if they do, raise
much smaller families than; heretofore.
Another cause of their decline In num
bers Is that hundreds of them are run
over and killed or crippled by auto
mobiles every year. The squirrels have
become so fat by overfeeding that they
are no longer able to evade, automo
biles going at a rapid clip. '
All this teaches a powerful lesson, as
it illustrates how unavoidably luxury
and hypereivillzation will lead, to race
suicide. The families of great wealth

and many a marshal or deputy has lost
his life in the attempt. Equally dan
gerous, though from different reasons,
seems to be to travel In an automo
bile while raiding unlicensed saloons In
"Westchester county. An ainoer snerin
and two special deputies started out in
n auto the other day to raid unli
censed saloons In that county and came
near losing thehr lives. - After- four sa
loons had been raided the under sheriff

ment of a bridge for. the road and ran

Th mirhina was eomoletelv wrecked

rlously Injured. Raiding saloons Is a
risky thing. Some men are known to
have been so completely upset by raid
ing but a single saloon that they "saw'
thTiiRs"" and had to be taken to fne
hospital.
There is' considerable room for iirt
provement in the' accommodations of
fered by the railroads in their large
terminal stations. vhere are news
stands, telegraph offices, insurance of
fices, candy, cigar and flower booths,
shoesblning "parlors" and a score of
other institutions for the accommoda
tion of the traveling public, but not one
of the railroad companies has ever
thought of providing Justtoes "of the
peace or ministers to marry passengers
upon, their arrival at tho station.
The other day a couple arrived from
the west in Hoboken and for some rea
son the young people were anxious to
be made one immediately after their
arrival in Hoboken. The young man re
quested a justice of the peace of Ho
boken by telegram to meet the train M
the station, fully 'prepared to perform
the ceremony without delay. For the
purpose of identification the J. P. was
to carry his handkerchief in his hand.
The affalr turned out in the proper man
ner, but it makes one shiver to think
of what might have happened If the
young candidate for marital bliss had
pounced upon the wrong man, who hap
pened to carry a handkerchief in his
hand. The New York railroads are not
quite up to date in that respect and
should take a few lessons from certain
western railroads, particularly a cer
tain line not more than 100 miles from
Chicago, which has made ainple pro
vision for Just such emergencies and
advertises that fact on Its excursion
posters. It is quite safe to predict
that the popularity of the New York
railroad line, first Introducing this a5
commodation would Increase enormous
ly. They might even advertise matri
monial excursions and honeymoon trips
to secluded spots in New Jersey or Con
necticut. Y
