poorly remunerated effort to establish daily

edged necessity here. We beg to assure our
friend that if he will carefully watch our col =
nmns and be as particular to give credit for
correct and valuable items, as he is to criticise
our failings, we feel confident he will not
again permit; himself to make such ungener-

be constrained to confess that the REVIEW

accurate in its statements. That it is read is
evidenced by his own criticism.

Miss LILLIAN CHASE was not greeted with
an audience at all commensurate with her
merits last aveuing, but the fact did not in
the least detract from the very interesting
programme and every selection was rendered
with as much animation as though the Hall
had been crowded. Miss CHASE is a born
artist and enters thoroughly into the spirit of
her theme, forgetting self in the perfect i'm
personation Of the characters she selects. In
many of her performances she is absolutely
without an equal, and at no distant day will
be the acknowledged Queen of her profess
ion. She has both talent and culture and
canuot fail of winning success she so pre-em-
inently merits.

loose and had a fight, and two of the artists

HOW IT WAS DONE.

OF those who actually saw the shoot
Mrs. White, the woman in charge of the
waiting room where the tradgedy occur
red, was the first to reach the wounded
President, and she gives the following
details:
81 saw the whole thing. The man
came in the east door just as the Presi-
dent entered the middle door from B st.
When he approached within five feet of
the President he fired, aiming, L thought,
at the heart and missed him. The Presl-
dent did not appear to notice him, but
walked right on past the man. He fired
again and the President fell. He fell at
the turn of the second row of seats. l
was the first TO reach him and lifted up
his head. The janitor rushed in and call
ed the police. / held him till some men
came and lifted him up, He did not
Speok to me or to any one until a
young boy, who thiuk was his son, came.
