An interesting event in The dramatic
world IL the temperance upon the American
stage OF the veteran actress, Miss Charlolte
Cushman, who is still, notwit standing her
age, IN the front rank of Living actresses.
More than q generation has rassed s ce Miss
Cushman first came before the public as an
artist. About the year 1880 she made her first
appearance at the fremont Theatre, In Boston,
as Almavlva, in the opera Marriage OF Figaro.
But she quickly learned that opera was not her
forte, and In 1880 she appeared on the stage oil
the Old Bowery, in New York, as Lacy Mac
beth. From that time forth she maintained
her great reputation as an exponent of Shakes
pearlan characters, and Of the characters OF
the intense drama generally. Her first p 'ofes-
sioual visit to Europe was in 1914. Miss ;nsh-
man has not played in this country since 1860.
For some time previous to the presen year
she has been living abroad, and the Ii st init
nation of her probable return to the stige was
given out last year, when it was exlt nsiVely
heralded In the press that the famous actress
of other times was slowly dying Of CT ncer in
Rome. As fortune would have It, however,
Miss Cushman's death has as yet taken no
more practical shape than that of the dramatic
boards-a fact which affords great pleasure 10
the friends of the drama, of which she is so
distinguished an adjunct and exponent.
Dispatches from Washington report
growing excitement there about the gloomy
prospects of Secretary Boutweli's Syndicate
scheme. The secretary almits that the SUBJ
scribers to the Syndicate In Europe have paid
but little beyond their five per cent margin,
and yet he himself sees no reason for dlscour-
agement, as sixty days yet remain In which to
pay up. He also confesses that Assistant Secre-
tary Richardson has requested that no 1ore OF
the new bonds be sent to Europe at present, as
the Syndicate already has $50, 900, 600 on hand
which cannot be disposed OF just now. Letters
20 banking houses in Washington also state
that the subscribers are refusing to pay up.
In consequence of these advces no more oil
the new bonds will be shipped abroad at
present. If this failure OF the loan should
prove true it would create financial mudd!e
in the Treasury Department; for II the Syndi-
cate cannot carry the seventy millions which
they ordered, there will not be sufficient
money in the treasury on the lst OF December
to redeem the one hundred million fve-twer-
ties which have been called in. The best in-
formed fuanciers, including certain treasury
officials, do not see where the secretary can
realize more than forty millions whereby to
meet his heavy obligations on the lst of De-
cemb,r II Is affirmed that The reasons given
by European subscribers why they do not
more rapidly liqldate their subscriptions is
that the SynGcale did not deal fairly by
them; that The loan was so manipulated when
it was placed upon the market that ii COM
manded premium OF Two and half per cent;
and that Immediately after they had subscrlt :
