who hobbies along as though tho god of dis.
case had smiled most abundantly upon him.
His name is Rathburne, his nativity Is un-

"stlny," probably on account OF his peculiar
appearance and gait, the result of long Siege
OF rheumatism. His feet are covered with
corns, and he Is literally a walking barometer

thermometric riso or fall to a remarkable de-
gree OF certainty by the achy fluctuations OF
his bunions, or the approach OF wet and dry
weather by tho stiffness or flexbility of hls
rheumatic neither limbs. Rathburne Is CON
suited by the neighbors on weather matters,
and the predictions he makes rarely over fail, ,
He was met going down Third street the othor
morning and asked about atmospheric mat

"Going to RAIN" he said. "My bunion Is

In right lively; it's bound 10 come before long,"

Joined. "This left side of mine is stlf, and
II Is sure sign OF lower temperature"
And the human weather indicator hObbled
on down the street, leaning heavily on stout

THE PARK THEATRE BURNED.
Mrs. Iangtry Left without Stage
to Appear on Last Night-yicwing
the Fire From Her Hotel.

Preparations for Mrs. Langtry's first appear
ance on the stage In New York have been going
on busily at tho Park Theatre, under tho mau.
agement OF Mr.. Harry Il. Abbey, lessee, and
the stage was set for last nights intended per-
formance OF tho "Unequal Match" Mrs.
Langtry's dresses for the play were In her
room, and the wardrobes OF the members OF
her company, as well as the newly painted
scenery and stage appointments, were In the
theatre. VIM. Doran, one OF the scene painters,
and Henry Clarke, u scene-shlfter and othor
stage hands,were at work when fire was dlscov-
cred In therear OF the second tier OF proscenium
boxes, on tho right of the stage, An attempt
to send an alarm by the automatic fire boxes
on the stage was unsuccessful, and there
was delay OF nearly ten minutes before the
ire engines arrived. Meantime the fire OK.
tiDguishers kept on the stage wore called
Into use, but they would not work. The flames
caught the drop-curtaln and spread rapidly,
driving all hands from the house. Clarke, IN
trying to lower the curtain, was badly burned.
He and Doran jumped from a rear window
twenty feet to the street below, and both were
badly injured and sent to tho New York Hos
pital. Tho flames swept up through tho roof
and the building was destroyed. Mr.. Henry
Il. Abbcy's loss Will exceed 100000, covered,
however, by insurance. The flre was probably
caused by an escape OF gas.
John Leo, n stage-carpenter, is reported
missing, and 1t Is thought he perlshed. Tho
total loss sustained is S250,000.
From the balcony OF the Albemarle Hotel
Mrs. LangTry ana her companion, Mrs. Labou-
chere, witnessed the destruction OF tho theatre,
but two blocks down the street. and they were
naturally much moved. Mr.. Abbey, with char
acteristic energy, Mt once engaged the Grand
Opera House, at Twenty-third street and
Eighth avenue, and Mrs. Langtry Will make
her bow thero next Monday night.
The Grand Opera House, where Mrs. Lang
try will now appear Is one OF the largest and
finest theatres In tho city. 1t was made famous
under Jim Fisk's management but OF late
years has been found too far over on the west
side OF town to be popular with fashionable
theatre.goers.
Mr.. W. j. Florence is playing at the Grand
Opera House at present, and Is under engage
ment for another week. He has, however, re-
linqutshed his contract In favor OF Mrs. Lang
Try. Jefferson is under engagement TO appear
