YOUNG PAULD1SG {DoDGE) Is COMING.
! Special Cosrespondence Of The Tribune
| NEW York, April 9.--Young Pauldiug is goins
/ to star it over John Eflslers route.
| That ought to settle him.
| You may have forgotten who yonpg Pau.ding Is,
| go I'll refresh your memory. His name is Dodge,
| and be calls himself cous1n-or sister or an
aunt-to Henry Irving, the English tragedian. He
broke out at the Lyceum Theatre some months ago
with all the mild fury OF spring pimple.
and it took three weeks of treatment to obliterare
him.
He began with the tFoo1's Revenge, and fol-
lowed that up with - Hamlet ~ That Yas mis-
take. He ought to hare saved his first piece until
he had something to be revenged for.
At that time people didn't take much notice OF
him. partly upon The principle that preserva-
tion ia the first law of Nature, and partly because
they thought he harmless, so long ss they kept
away from him. So, beyond studious avoidance
Of the vicinity Of the Lyceum Theatre, there was
little dona by the citizens to discourage him,
Since then. however be has shown himself so
anxious to overcome his reputation for harmless
ness that folks are beginning to know him, and to
fee when be approaches,

York actress. In the one weak moment of her long
career, Mira E1dridge consented to become
THE TRAINER OF THIS INFANT PHENOMENON.
It WAS an unhappy epoch in her lfe and the result
to her has been disastrous.
Whenever she appears upon the street, young
Pauldiug pops mysterionsly from some adjacent
alleyway, grabs her sleeve, and hangs to it liKe
grim Death SO long as she stays abroad thereafter
Mrs. Eldrldee knows about 80 per cent OF all the
people who walk Broadway Of an afternoon. and
