He Was One of America's Grea Editors. : Cincinnati, July 4.--Murat Hal stead, one of the leaders in American journalism, died here on Thursday, in his seventy-ninth year. At his bed- side were his wile, his son Robert and oné daughter, Mrs. Arthur Stem. Mr. Halstead had been failing in strength for several months, and yesterday suf- fered from cerebral -hemorrhage. The sudden death of his son Mar- shall 3 few months ago was a severe shook to Mr. Halsted, and it is be lisved. to have had a diverse efiect on his health." Albert Halstead, another son, is American consul at Birming- ham, England, and the other members of the family are scattered through- out the country, ; My. Halstead was ome of the great editors of the last half of the nine- teenth century, and one of the strong- est tributes to his incisiveness as a writer was in 1889, when his nomina- tion by President Harrison t6 be Am- erican minister to Germany was re jected by the U.S. tenate because of articles he had published charging cor- ruption to some members of that body. He wag a native of Butler County, Ohio, In 1858 he became connected with the Cincinnati Commercial, be- coming chief owner in 1865, Nearly twenty years later this paper was consolidated with the Gazette, and he was editor-in-chief of the combined newspaper until years afterwards, when another consolidation was eflected, new owners securing control. For a time he was editor of The Brooklyn Standard Union, and during the last ten years has figured largely as a magazine, and special newspaper writ- er, besides issuing a number of Looks on current matters of historical in- terest. Tn the civil war Mr. Halstead personally reported many battles, be- ing rated as a war correspondent of the first-class and later in the Franco (lerman war and also in the Spanish- American war he added 'to his reputa- tion in that line. For fifty years he attended and ported all republican -national ventions. re- cap- White Linen Princesse Gown.

THEATRE BLOOD IN HER. Girl Sixteen is to Play Juliet. London, July 4.--1he youngest act- ress tos play Juliet on' a professional stage is Miss Leah Bateman-Hunter, a girl of sixteen, who is to appear in the matinee which Miss Bateman (Mrs. Crowe), is giving at the Kings- way Theatre in aid of the Dental Hospital. It 1s not of given te every one to jump from school to the impersona- tion oi Shakespeare s greatest herd- ine. Juliet has had interpreters of all aves. Actresses of thirty-five and for- ty years have played Shakespeare's heroine of fourteen, but only a few--t among them Lady Martin (Helen Fau- cit)--have*bheen in their teens when they acted Juliet. Indee?l, Juliet usually marks the zenith of an actress' career, instead of its very beginning, as in the case of Miss Bateman-Hunter. Last autumn she was still at boarding school A reporter found her resting yester- day afternoon after a busy rehearsal. "l think it is everybody's dream to play Juliet before a London audi- ence," she said. "I cannot believe I qm really going to do it. "My principal idea is the absolute childishness of Juliet. "She is not a woman--she is just g child grown, up. She is a child all through. She never holds on to one thing for more * than a minute. She has all the inconse- quence of a child." Miss Batemun-Hunter has the blood of the theatre in her. She the granddaughter of Mrs. Crowe, famous for two generations - as an actress, whose father bought the Lyceum Theatre to give Irving a chance. And like her grandmother, who started acting at five years, she showed her instinct for acting at an equally early age. She would recite things which she could not possibly understand, put] ting the right tones and expressions on her phrases. . t---------- Some women are so fond of anti- ques that they would make bric-a- brac of the ten commandments. is DON'T MAKE YOURSELF WARMER By stoking up with hot foods Kellogg's 'Corn Flakes Cold milk and fruit are more sensible and cooler.

L "Dollar bills are worth almost their weight in gold," a bank presideng said the other day to a depositor. "Yes, 1 suppose they come in handy for change and are easy to carry," the depositor geplied, absently. "No, | was speaking literally," the bank president said. "*We got into an argument in the bank here the other day as to how much a dollar. bill weighed. A $20 gold piece weighs 540 grains. We found that twenty-seven crisp new $1 bills weighed the same as a $20 gold piece. We tested some bills that had been in use and found that it took but twenty-six of them to balance the gold piece. 1 suppose that twenty-six used bills gather an 'accumulation of dirt in passing from hand to hand that weighs about what one new bill does." -------- Kill Little Ones.
