A Handsome Actors Fate.

Only few j 2ars ago j. x. Mortimer
was an actor in New York. He was
handsome, talented. and enjoyed popular
ity equal to that now held by Montague OF
Wallack's, Thorne of the Union Square,
or Coghlan of the Fifth Avenue. 1t was
then supposed that he would reach the
highest rank in his profession. He be-
came drunkard, but for while manag-
ers endur. d his Irregularities because of
his attractiveness with the public. He
went to California, and We soon heard OF
him as a performer in concert saloons.
The latest of him is the following de-
scription from the San Francisco Chron
icle; IA seedy, bloated man. who looked
as if be was draining the cup of bitterness
