Kentucky aud Virginia Resolutions Of 1898
and the bred Scott Dec sion Of the Sn-

preserve these honorable doctrines, The
Democratic party was organized by the
very founders Of The Federal Government,
and il remained Uue TO them down to the
fatal and dishonoring departure, at The
commencement OF sihis war. The Old

The Booth Euuliiy.

.Jehn Wilkes Booth, the assassin Of the
President, is tho son of the late .Juuius
Rrutus Booth and brother to the eminent
tragcdian, Edwin Booth. The father was
horn in London, May l, 1895, and died in
December, 1859, OH the passage from New
Orleans to Cincinnati. His first appear
ance in the United States was at Peters,
burg, Va, in 1921. and his first introduce
ton to a New York audience was at the
old Park Thcater the following year. in his
favoritc character of Richard III.
The sons were born in Baltimore, where
the family residence was fixed during the
latter part of Mr.. Booths lie. lie was
gifted with many of the qualifications of a
great actor, but Incorporate habits pre-
vented him attaining the eminent position
which was within his reach.
J. Wilkes Booth has long been known
as a bitter copperhead, and his sentiments.
have led to much GOODNESS between himself
and many of his professional associates.
He hears most striking resemblance to-
his elder brother, Edwin, being. however,
of a taller and heavier build. lie has a
fine, impressive face, and the great lus-
trous eyes that both the sons get from their
father. The assassin was marked in his]
representation of Richard Ill, for extrcmel
violence of voice and action.
His conduct in executing the hclish plot
was extremely theatrical the rushing to-
the box front, shouting the now hateful
Virginia motto, the brandishng of his
dagger being more like part of mimic
tragedy. than the reasonable concommlt-
ANTS of SO foul and unnatural murder.
