fish his poems on America, and the world after

consideration; but having read Miller
aud heard the McGibenys we continue to
read aud see The McGibenys give per.
formanco out Of the ordinary line as Miler's
poetry was out of tho regular rut, aud the
evidence of its appreciation is tho size of the
approcativ0 audience that filled Lincoln Hall
last night aud the night before. Last evening
the audience was as large as upon tho opening
night and the numbers were even better rem
dered than on tho first night, and one, two

The Story of Austin ID. Moore.


Austin ID. Moore, the son of the late
Austin ID. Moore, died on Wednesday,
after short illners, at II Brooklyn av-
enue, Brooklyn He was well known
in Brooklyn through his divorce litiga-
ton, which occupied the courts for
some time, and the testimony as to
young Moore's profiigacy OH one occa-
sion led Judge McCue to say in court
that if he had the power he would dis
pose of Moore's inheritance so that he
could not get cent of it. Mrs. Moore
obtained an absolute divorce from her
husband, and the court directed him to
pay her liberal slimony. Subsequently
he induced her to marry him again,
and they took second bridal tour
about the country. Their second honey
moon was brief, and she soon had
another divorce suit pending against
him. When the second suit came up
for hearing, it was decided that there
was no second marriage which the law
could dissolve, as by the terms of the
first decree of divorce he was prohibited
from marrying again. Moore wasted
nearly all of his inheritance, amounting
to about 100000. and then agreed to
give a lawyer $4,000 to break his faith
er's VIII. so that he could obtain more.
The litigation lasted for some time, but
each court, in turn, upheld the viii.
Moore was twsnty-seyen years old.
