How He Pounded Her, Pulled Her Around by the Hair and In other Ways Instructed Mr. Fair-bank's Erotegee In Stagecraft. NEW YORK, June 5. -—David Belasco, the playwright and manager, continued his testimony in his suit for $65,000 against N. K. Fairbank, the wealthy Chicago pork merchant, for his services in making a star actress of Mrs. Leslie Carter at Fair- bank’e request. F airbank, with his gray hair carefully parted and combed and his gray whiskers properly trimmed, entered court with an air of great dignity. Through his spectacles be surveyed the plaintifi' with a look rather of sorrow than of‘ anger as Belasco took the stand and proceeded to tell Judge Giegerich and the jury what had passed between himself and B. W. Morrison, Fairbank’s lawyer and agent, regarding the winding up of Mrs. Carter’s first tour in 1891. Belasco was attired in a suit of somber hue, a black tie and an immaculate stand- ing collar and had had a clean shave. His dark hair, tinged with silver, was in a condition of aesthetic disorder. With carefully studied gestures, as be- fittcd a master of the dramatic art, he told his story to the jury. He identified vari- ous telegrams received from or sent to R. W. Morrison, all tending to show that Fairbank was the real proprietor of Mrs. Carter’s company. Fairbank’s agent, Morrison, paid all the bills, and after the tour was closed at Kansas City in March, 1891, Belasco said he met Morrison at the Sturtevant House, New York, and Morrison had given him a draft for over $2,000 to pay off trades- men’s bills. The draft was too large, the witness said, and he gave Morrison a check for the difference, which amounted to $79. - How He Taught Mrs. Carter. At the request of Judge Dittenhoeffor Mr. Belasco described how he taught Mrs. Carter. He said: “Mrs. Carter was crude. I had to begin training her. I showed her how to walk, how to sit, how to go out through a door, how to return, how to sit down in a chair, how to open a book, how to turn over a page and how to lay down the book. " Mr. Belaeco, with considerable dramatic effect, told how be exercised the limbs of Mrs. Carter until she became the embodi- ment of the “phoet of motion.” “I taught e? ow when a detective would slip up to her and suddenly place his hand on her shoulder and say, ‘I arrest you for murderl’ or ‘I arrest you for \for— gory!’ not to start and blush, but to turn calmly around and face him and say, ‘I beg your pardou.’ I taught her how to weep. I could weep myself for hours until I looked like a wet rag. I would tear and scratch myself. ” Mr. Belasco had worked himself up into a frenzy. He said: Pulled Around by the Hair. “I taught her to weep for the different emotions in a different way. So many, nearly all, the actresses on the stage weep in one way. They only know one way to weep. - ,“I pulled her around by the hair like Nancy Slkes. I would hit her head on the floor.” Here Mr. Belasco jumped up and clutched an imaginary head and acted the scene in a most realistic manner, while the jurors leaned forward in their seats and followed his actions with their mouths open. “I would throw her down, ” ex- claimed Mr. Belasco, “and drag her around on the floor and beat her to give her the natural emotions. In fact, I tried in the brief period of one year and a half to make her such an artist as it would ordinarily take a woman a lifetime to accomplish. Muscular Training. “I taught her how to look and act when some one exclaimed: ‘This wronged you.’ ‘This man won’t pay you what he owes you.’ I taught her how to look and act when she would exclaim, ‘By heavens!’ or ‘By hadesl’ When the first was said, I told her not to point to heav- en, as crude actresses do, nor to point downward when she exclaimed ‘By hell I’ ” Mr. Belasco then described the muscular training that made Mrs. Carter the “poetry of fnotion. ” “I took her arms and trained the mus- else from the hand to elbow, then from the elbow to shoulders, then from the shoulders to hips, from the hips to knees and from the knees to the ankles. Then I had to get control of her eyes by seeing how long she could look at a certain spot and how long it would take her to get her eyes from the spot to the floor. She had to learn to take 20 minutes to transfer her glance from the ceiling to the floor.” Mr. Belascc then told of the different parts he had coached Mrs. Carter in and his method of doing so. The Oswego Celebration. OSWEGO,,N. Y., June 5.—Arrangements are rapidfl nearing completion for the elaborate celebration on July 15 of the centennial of the evacuation of Fort Onta- rio by the British troops after the Revo- lutionary war. One full regiment of United States troops—the Ninth infantry —and Troop A of the cavalry service have been ordered here by Secretary of War Lamont.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 5. —Two Dominion cruisers on the great lakes are effectually putting an end to poaching by United States fishing boats. American fishermen on Lake Erie are using invisible buoys, making it necessary for the police steamer Petrol to use grapplipg gear to find the nets. Fishermen in the United States de- clare that exclusion from Canadian waters means a heavy loss to them. *m— MEEKER COAL CO. OOAL, WOOD, ,. BRICK, LIME, OEMENT, TILE PIPE. —-v-'- OFFICE WITH G.

' WASHINGTON, J one 5 -—The house com- mittee on ways and means today. by a vote of 13 to 2, decided to report the Butler bond prohibition bill adversely. The fol‘ lowing representatives voted for the'ad« verse report: - Republicans—Dinghy (Ma), Payne (N. Y.), Dalzell- (Pa.), Hopkins (1115.), Gros- venor (O. ), Russell (Conn.). Dolliver (1a.), Steele (Ind.), Johnson (N. D.), Evans (Ky.). Tawney (Minn. ). Democrats—Tur- ner (Ga. ), Cobb (Md). For a favorable report: Democrats—Mo. Mlllin (Tenn), Wheeler (Ala. ). Repre- sentatives Crisp (Dem.,Ga.) and McLaurin (Dem., S. C.) were absent, both of whom, it is supposed, would have voted for a to- vorable report. There was little discussion of the resolu- tion. Republicans spoke of it as a Populist measure. Only Two Battleships. WASHINGTON, June 5.—By a vote of 17 to.23 the senate has insisted'on its amend- ment to the naval bill reducing the num- ber of battleships from four to two. Gorman said two questions Were in‘ volved: One whether it was wise to order four battleships when defects in those al- ready ordered had bdbn disclosed and when a board was in session considering im- provements in construction. The other question was as to the expediency of this large expenditure at a time of financial stringency. A partial conference report on the In- dian appropriation bill was agreed to—27 to 20. It covers a plan of establishing In- dian citizenship in the Indian Territbry to be executed by the Dawes commis_eion. The report has been contested for several days. At the request of Mr. Morgan his rose l‘utlon calling on the president for informa- tion as to what if any demands had been made in the case of the Competitor seized by the Spanish authorities, went over. Mr. Gear, chairman of the Pacific rails roads committee, rose to make astatement as to the Union and Central Pacific fund- ing bill. He said $118,000,000 was due the government, and the debt would ma- ture at an early day. It was incumbent on congress to take some action to protect the interests of the government. For this reason he moved that the funding bill now on the calendar be made the continu- ous order of business until action was se- curedj Presidential Nominations. - WASHINGTON, June 5.4The president has sent the following nominations to the senate: George F.

Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.
