The new organ for Rev. Henry w,-a

Boston, are the builders. This organ u the
largest ever built in america. and costs TWEEN

bronchial affection. The papers and
critics have apologized for his hoarse-
ness, but it has long been known by
his friends that he would be compelled
to abandon the stage because of his
throat disease. He is best remem-
bered, perhaps, in Richard, which
he played closely after his fathers
conception of that character, and by
his admirers was considered superior
to the elder Booth as pistol shot,
being one of the best in the country
When in Boston, he frequently prac-
tised at the pistol gallery at the cor
