On Monday it was seen that the end was near“ and Drs.

Hr. l’allnce gave the greatest satisfac- tion in this position, for on all tarifl matters he Was so well versed that any suggestion was thoughtfully con- sidered and answered almost spon- taneously. Deputations of businws men waiting upon Mr. Wallace in- variably got an answer, and it Was not the stereotyped one so often giv- en to deputations, which'runs, "This matter will receive our earnest con- ‘sideration." Mr. Wallace was a man of ideas, and was frank in giving utterance to them. He disliked hesâ€" itancy, and some of his most telling speeches were made against political opponents at a time when their un- developed policies have been waiting for praise or condemnation by the people of the country. As a speak- er he was fluent and forceful, with a. strong vein of humor running through his thoughts. Hon. N. Clarke Wallace passed through six successful electoral cam- paigns and was once returned by ac- clamation. His victories were over David Blain, '1‘. Hodgins, Dr. Lind, \V. H. P. Clement, S.

Out of the thousands of professions that of the s‘tage is probably the only one which can boast that a busy postoiiice is maintained for its exclusive benefit. To those few laymen who know or this of- fice‘s existence it is known as “the Ac- DIV» w -. _-~-__ tors’ postoflice.” To the members of the profession, for which it is intended, it is known for nnd wide as “The Mirror.” No other letters but those intended {or members of the theatrical profession are received at this postoflice, and a most rigid censorship is exercised. Outsiders and schemers who might try to use the oflice for their own purposes would fail at the outset, tortheir missives would be promptly sent to the general delivery. ,A- LI:-‘I_“ The actors’ postofiice was establisth many years ago in a Corner of the office of The Dramatic Mirror, a newspaper de- voted to the aflairs of stageland. It has never been a very large office, but its business and importance to its clients have both increased to such an extent that it is now a recognized and necessary institution. It is also one of the busiest little 'oflices in the United States, tor nowadays no actor or actress troubles to give a private address. It is taken {or granted that all correspondents know' that the easiest and quickest method of sending a letter to a theatrical person i. to send it to The Mirror office. w»-..- -‘ 'v In this way the little office has become the clearing house for all theatrical cor- respondence. Most traveling theatrical companies furnish a printed route list. with the name of each town and the date at which each theater will be visitedzdur- ing the season, accompanied in each in- stance by the date. Thus the actor’l friends know where and when to write to him at all times during the season. It happens sometimes that an acquaintance is not sure of the route, and this is where the little postofiice comes in. The letter is sent in care of The Mirror, which pub- lishes each week a list of all letters re- ceived. These are held until called for or sent for. An actor who is playing in San Francisco, for example, will glance through the letter list and. finding his name there, will send a stamp to the postmistress, who will forward his letter to any place on his route, according to instructions.
