How aboat It. CUIf7 Mra. John M. Ward. who . as a clever character actress, was, at one time known as Xdlle Dun- bar, Is qnite a poet, and some of her clever contribntlons to the Detroit papers are creating a deal of comment among their wide circulation of readers. I am reprinting one of her latest efforts, which I have, clipped from the Detroit Fne Press. Here It Is: A SAILOR'S PATE. Down, down In the fathomless deep. The mermaids are singing fhenuelvea to sleep; Tbey beckon and call me and seem to say: "Come and live with me In the Bait, salt spray." • nnwn, down in their coral caves Their voices float up and ont on the wavea; Their voices so sweet and so soft and so low. Shall haunt me wherever, wherever I go. And I never will leaTe: niy home In the. deep aea. ■ ■ t ii-^i-. : - i > For O, bow I lore Ifa ^tranqoiUItf• Down, down by tbe moon's clear light, rve taken tbia trip to tbe mermaids tonight, Onr heme to a palace of eiystal ao clear.

Down, down, without anchor or chain. 1 am with the mermaids, and here I'll remain, Onr good ship was lost one night long ago. So that's why I am writing to you from below. —NelUe . Dnnbar Ward. Mrs. .Ward, as MIsa Bnnbar wilt be remem- bered by most theatregoers of a few seasons past. She appeared In many well remembered plays as a comedienne and was also qnlfe a me- cessfnl randevlile gtar. Although stm quite a young woman she has deserted the stage for the peaceful life cf the genteel housewife, and is now taking care ot the manaaement ot her palatial bome in the snbnrba of Detroit. Charles Brown, late of tbe Hose S.vdell Show, and for the first few weeks of this seison with Hal'tiday and Curley's Painting the Town, has replaced Lew Miner aa electrician with Messrs. Bntler t Co. '* There are several bnteU In the ridnlty of the Star ft Garter. Chicago, which need watch- ing. One of - the!>e makes a charge ot fifteen rents ner flight for trunks, .while one other has a strange habit of enlarging the bills .above tbe ori^nal agreemnit. I bare received iwvrral re- nnrats to pnbllali thesre facta and wnnM suggest that nrnfei*Mona]s will .rnrae to a basic nnrter- standing before moving their bagenge into, mich places. The Imnmvement of theatrical hotel conditions can onlv be brought ahnnt by the n"r- former hlma-lf and the submission to every lit- tle Indignation Is only an enenumgement to the arrogant Indenendence of manv of the<v blonf—' "nrt over prnsperous pmprletorat The hotel thnt iff bad sfaonTd be avoided and strenuously boycotted mH tbe patronare given to' a more deserving bnntfaoe.
