Paris, April | 16,--~Alinost any country, $¥Sargh Bernhardt up- halds «the tradi oh of historical drama. Three years ago she produced Merveau's 'The Trial of Joan Are," in which she appeared in only the sec- ond and third acts. This week she produced the same author's 'Queen Elizabeth," in which she played the central tigure. The play comprises four long acts, ending with a death scene, and Mme. Bernhardt acted with such intensity and power, and with such heartrending cries of frenzied gde- gpair that it is impossible to realize that the tragedienne is approaching | « her seventieth year. The play, which deals with the story connected with the ring given to the Farl of Essex by Jueen Elizabeth, is slow and without the slightest lighter relief, it apparent- ly being written for the sake of the death scene, which reproduces Dela rich's picture in the Louvre. -------------------- A RUNAWAY BALLOON.

He immediately began to race in his de lirium, and exhibit such symptoms that the physicians who were called in said his case was true hydrophobia.

American Laborers Free to Enter for Railway Work. Fort Willinm, April 16.--United States eitizens and foreigners living over the international boundary, who are trained railroad construction workers and desire to come to Can- ada this year to engage on the great transcontinental lines, will not need the welfare toll that has been cus tomary in the past. Almost all restrie tions have been thrown off by the iw- migration department. as far as these ports are concerned. Providing the entrant is in good phy sie al condition, has a paper promising him work on construction yor expresses his inten- tion of endaging therein, and possess a ticket to his destination, he need have no fear of being turned back by the government officials.

H. Paioter, principal of the first year high school in: Dayten, Ohio, has conducted a Sharangh investigation of the subject, with the result that the commissioner bas issued this circular : "There is o tendency on the part of the older high school pupils to over- dress and to adept the styles and fashions that make them seem more mature in nature, and appearance. The vounger pupils are quick to imitate the dress and manners of their school mates. This leads them into indisere tions- and robs them of an important part of childhood. The expenses of overdressing fall heavily upon most families and tend to discourage many parents from keeping their childyen in school." a ---------- { RESTORE DRESS UNIFORM. ness of Dress. Paris, April 16.-M. Deleasse, minis- ter of marine, has decided again to introduce the full dress uniform in the! navy, which was abolished, in 1903, on the ground that it was unneces- sary, costly and undemocratic. Ex- perience has since shown that . the French naval officers are placed at a disadvantage at ceremonies where where other navies are represented by officers 'in resplendent uniforms. So the two horned hat and the gold and silver braided trousers will again make their appearance.
