bigamous marriage. He was tried in
the third judicial circuit court of Utah,

FETCHER'S FALL.
FeryssGlOomy Picture of Once Brilliant
Actor.
Philadeluhla Tim,

Philadelphia Times.
The dark shadows of Fetcher's life
stand out all the stronger because of the
brightness into which they were pro-
jected, but now there is much shadow
and a little light, for the actor has fall
len from his high station by reason of
il-health brought about by excesses,
and the graceful actor has made way
for q graceless old age-an old age that
has come before its due, for it is only
thirty years since the young French
sculptor, then % years of age, made his
first bow as actor at the Salle Moliere, in
MS native land. From that time his
career has always been upward and Oh
to great successes. So far as drinking
is concerned it never interfered with his
business until a few years ago, and his
engagements were carried out faith
fully, although managers had come to
know by the higher range of his always
lmperious temper, and on occasions
his absence Of mind, that he was failing
somewhat, One that knew him we'll re-
lates that fletcher was remarkable for
pauses. Upon reaching dramatic
climax, 1t was his custom to stop short
III action and speech and stand perfect
ly still. In many cases this was provo
cative of great applause. His acting
became noticeable for the growing fre-
quency and length of those pauses, un-
til finally it became the business OF the
proprietor to always watch and correct
him. In the winter of 1875 he broke
IN on number of engagements by
falling sick before they were completed.
In 1876 this was still more the case, un-
til it was with difficulty that he could
obtain an engagement in an first class
theatre. Indisposition was the plea,
until finally in Rochester, his troubles
eliminated by his appearing so drunk
upon the stage that the audience Kissed
and left the theatre, and the whole
story of continued drinking and high
living was told in the public print. Dur
ing the past two seasons Mr. fletcher
has broken down very frequently, and
the manager of a leading star theater,
in speaking of him recently, said:
" fletcher, who should have been the
leading actor of the would, is dead to
the profession of which he was at one
time the ornament" An old acquain-
tance relates that fletcher was man
who lived very high. "He often sat
down to lunch and Jared upon tin of
plate-de-foi-gras and pint of raw
brandy nothing else; and the brandy
at lunch bore but meagre relation to
his daily ration"

the weather became warmer the peo-
pie died like flies. The dead lie un-
