Miss Rose Eytinge.
New York, Dec. 21. Rose Eytinge.
gcd 72 years, once leading woman of
the Wallark Stock company nnrl well
known as a writer and dramatist, died
yesterday at the liurnswlck home,
Amityville, h. I. The career of Miss
Eytinge was of peculiar brilliance. he
at one time being among the most fa
mous actresses of the country.
Eleven years ago Miss Eytinsc retired
from the Ftage, haying reached an age
far beyond the allotted time given
actresses by custom and precedent.
Even after retiring sha appeared for a
season 1906-7 In the production of
"In the Bishop s Carriage."
Rose Eytinge went on the stage at
the age of 10 In children's plays, and
became a great favorite about l&tiO. She
appeared In support of Edwin Booth in
1162.
In the season of 1S68-69 Miss Eyttngo
was the leading woman at YYullark's
theatre. In 1871 she made a great hit
as Nancy Sykes in "Oliver Twist." In
1873 she became the leading woman of
A. M. Palmer's Union Square Stock com
pany, remaining in that position three
Seasons. SubBeyutntly she KtarroU in
Rot, Michel," "ilias Moulton" and
"Love's Sacrifice."
As an author Miss Eytinge wrote a
. number of books. For a number of
years she taught stftge work.
ant Issues, not only as they affect the
particular case under consideration, oui
hs thev affect tho nubile at largo. The
caso Is not on involving merely the
private rltrhis of nominal parties to suit
but they are essentially public matters
which affect the welfare of the wholu
body politic. The 26th legislative as
sembly of this state passed house bill
21rt, being an act appropriating JJS,
:5! 92 for the support of the etuto mil
veislty of this state. Wltlfin 90 days
from adjournment of the legislative as
sembly, a petition was filed with the
secretary of Btato, demanding reference
of tills measure to a vote of the elec
torate of this stnte at the general elec
tion. If the petition Is a valid exercise
of right reserved by section 1 of article
4 of the constitution, then tho net does
not become operative from and after the
expiration of SO days after the adjourn
ment of the session, but Jt is stayed and
iiiust be submitted to a vote of tho
people, as liemundnd In the petition. Hut
If it Ik not a valid petition, it cannot
have that power against the measure
and the latter becomes law." v.
Judge (lalloway also settles the whole
matter of Jurisdiction argued so ve
hemently by Colonel C. K. S. Wood, by
ijuotlng this law:
Th Law, pn Jurisdiction. I
"If the secretary of state thull re
fuse to accept .and file any petition
lor tho Initiative or refercnUini, any
citizen mav apply within 10 days after
.such refusal to tho circuit court for
a writ of. mandamus to compdl him to
do so. On showing that any petition
filed is legally insufficient, the court
may enjoin the secretary of state and
all the other officers from certifying or
printing on the official ballot for the
ensuing election the naiiot title anu
number of such measure."
On the point of the alleged Improper
form of the petition. In that a copy
of the measure was not printed at the
head of each sheet. Judge Galloway,
among other thlngB, quotes the Oregon
supreme Court In Palmer versus Ben
ton : Evidently the petition must bo
on every sheet on which signatures are
to be placed, but the act will be on a
separate sheet, etc
"The reason for this requirement is
obvious? ami substantial, and cannot,
with any degree of fairness, bo de
nounced as a mere technicality of law.
Hut, in fact, it is a most essential and
salutary provision, as t lie facts of this
case will demonstrate."
Bntles of Circulators.
Judge tlallowny also holds that cir
culators of Initiative and referendum
petitions have all the responsibilities of
election officials when he sayB: "If, as
usually happens, a number of persons
Joined In the same petition, each one
vouches for the same petition, each one
and if tlm latter committed frauds in
preparation of the petition, those who
signed it must bear the consequences
at least to the extent of the right to
have their names counted thereon. For,
In case of an election where t lie people
select election officers, and they disre
gard their duty and aid in committing
frauds on election, voters must lie- re
sponsible for the conduct of officers to
the extent of losing their votes, al
though they may be Innocent of fraud.
"The right of petition reserved by the
constitution to refer to u vote of the
people any ineusurc passed by the leg
islature, was not intended to be used
to settle or adjust private and local
grievances, but the measure contem
plates the right to express the honest
sentiment of disaffected voters upon
public matters only. The evidence in
this case disclosed that the petition or
iginated in a case of local neighborhood
contention and spite and that in carry
ing into effect this unworthy motive,
means were employed to obtain signa
tures upon a money basis and to further
a personal spleen and revenge by a com
mittee of Cottage Grove citizens."
FIREBUG IS SUSPECTED
(Sjieclnl to T1ii Journal.)
Khaniko, Or., Pec. 21. The fihaniko
hotel was destroyed by fire at 6:30
o'clock this morning causing a logs of
$12,000. The building was unoccupied
except by a caretaker, having been
closed by attachment of thi Condon
National bnnk, against E. O. Hogers of
Condon, several months, ago. The fire,
started in tho cold storage room ad
joining the main building in the rear
and this circumstance is regarded as
auspicious. Insurance Is unknown.
MERMAID IN SURF
WITHOUT HER HAT ON
CONNECTICUT BEACH
Following the death of her son sev
eral years ago Miss Eytinge came to
Portland and lived in retirement among
Dew scenes and new friends. .Death
took her children In her declining years
and the shock nearly broke her brilliant
mind. About three years ago she went
to New York and since that time had
lieen cared for by the Actors' Fund of
America. During recent year's Miss
Eytinge had b.-eu an invalid, paralysis
last eating up the waning vitality.
Miss Eytinge was a woman of wun
tlerful brilliance, courage and pride.
Jluring her stage career she accumu
lated' three fortunes and lost each in
turn. A woman of open hearted be
nevolence, she was wont to give without
Hint, and at the same time many of
lier business arrangements were turned I
to her disadvantage. It is said that Hen
0'eal. the well known New York mana
ger, gave Miss Eytinge credit witlr' be
ing the most remarkable woman given
the world by the American stage.
As a traveler Miss Eytinge was
among the foremost of the country, she
had friends all over the world, where
Stage superiority is recognized.
