=
Great Banking House.
Mr.. James Brown, the last survivor OF
the original banking house OF Brown Bros. &
Co, lies dangerously III at his residence at Park
avenue and Thirty-seyenth street. lie Is eighty
SIX years of age.
The firm OF Brown Dros. was originally estab-
lished In 1890. For some years Its business was
the importation OF foreign dry Roods-tnen a
most profitable branch OF trade-but about ten
years sfter its estat lishment the Arm embarked
In banklng In connection with their other trade.
In 1913 tho dry goods business was abandoned,
the blnking department having succeeded even
beyond tho fOndest expectations OF ths firm,
and from that time Brown Bros. were known as
mixers only.
The original founders OF the Arm were George,
Alexander, William, and James Brown, of
whom the last named alone survives. After the
establi he'd fact Alexander Brown was sent to
found branch house In Baltimore, william
having previously established the firm In Liver
pool. George was attached to the Baltimore
mousse up to the time OF his death. William
Brown was knighted by Queen Victoria some
years ago. lie presided over the Liverpool
house for many years Sir William Brown,
engaged IN the Wsll street banking house ol the
nrm until 1883, wneD he retired and assigned the
management OF the business to Younger mem
bers OF the hrm. 81 30 his retlrement he has
visited the bankln. house regularly once or

The MUsEuM.-"Our American Cousin"
was put on the boards at the Museum last eve
ming, and was received With great delight by
the audience. Evidently the comedy has won
greater favor than any other play produced
this season, and is booked apparently for
good run. Its humorous exaggeration, delic
ious absurdties and amusing situations tckled
the audience greatly and kept them in a cons
tant litter throughout the evening. he play
will be likely to draw large hou at least
a week to come
Mr.. Learock's "Dundreary" wa mmend-
able performance, an interpreta ion of merit,
we'll sustained throughout. He labored of
course under the disadvantage of a constant
comparison of Mr. Sothern, the comparison
which all actors provoke who essay parts made
famous by great artists; but to those who have
not seen Sothern the impers onation was
deligh tful one, and indeed pleasing to those
who have. The inconsequent and wandering
thought, vague ideas, hestating utterance and
vacant smile of Dandreary were admirably
given. Mr.. Learock does not look uuite the
fool Sothern does, but is sufficiently idotic in
appearance for the purpose of the play. As "a
praise. He will do well to raise his voice a
little, for last night it was not easy to hear him
in the rear of the hall.
That rather undressing character. CASA
