author, actor and manager, Charles Foster,
who has written hundreds of plays in his
time, none of which was ever dead fail
ure. On being asked whether play writing
was profitable Mr.. Foster ran his fingers
through his heavy white locks and replied:
s'That depends, my boy, have been writ
ing plays all my life, and am not mil
Honaire as yet. A great deal depends on
the public. If play happens to please
theater-goers the manager keeps it run
ming, and if the author has agreed to take
a royalty he may coin q great deal of
money from his creation"
WHAT amounts have you been paid for
plays?" ''VariOus sums. For one I re-
ceivei $4,000; Others $500. others $4,000,
ana some 1 sold at $1,000, As to royalty,
have had plays pay me as high as $3.50 a
week, while others would bring me but $50.
Prices vary from SO for each perform
ance to $25, the latter being the average
price received"
Leaving the veteran author to evolve the
plots of other dramas, the reporter entered

French by Hart Jackson. There is quite a
story connected with that drama. When
Mr.. Jackson had completed it he carried
the manuscript to manager after manager

thought it worthy of notice. Even SO sa-
gacious manager as Mr.. Palmer failed to
see any drawing capacity in it, and Jack

One day Mrs. Palmer, desiring to read
French, picked up the drama. and its
beauty attracted her attention. She spoke
so highly of it that Mr.. Palmer read it for
a second time, when he made up his mind
that there was something in it after all.
He produced it, and by SO doing enriched
his treasury greatly, and Mr.. jackson was

About Z o'clock Friday evening
last the Chicago express train from AL
bany, on the Hudson River Railroad. was
run into by local passenger train near
Spuyten Duyvil junction, short distance
from New York city, upon which oc@
casion eight persons were killed-either
instantly or persisted in the burning
cars-and nineteen more or less in
jured. On the train were thirteen
cars, the parlor cars, six in number, being
in the rear. The train at the time of
the accident was standing on the track,
having halted to repair the air
brake. A curve just in the rear Of the
train obstructed the view in that direcs
ton. But few minutes had elapsed
when train running at full speed
struck the rear car OF the express train,
telescoping the two rear cars. The last
car belonged to Senator Wagner tile in
ventor of the Wagner parlor car, who
was in it at the time The cars imnne.
diately caught fire, and Senator Wagner
was burned to crisp. Among the dead
were young couple from Bennington,
Vermont, who were on their bridal tour.
A brakeman who was sent back to signal
coming trains has been arrested upon the
charge ofnot performing his duty.

ours are the plans of fair, delightful peace
Uawarpea by party rage to ltse like brothers.

On Monday, the commencement Of the
tenth week of the Guiteau trial, Mr.. Scos
vile began his address to th@ jury, and
and has not yet finished its delivery.
Portions of his speech do not read UNI
like what might be expected from GUS
teau himself. For instance, he more
than once charged the court and several
eminent physicians with having conspired
to hang his client, and claimed that
Grant, Conkling aud President Arthur
were responsible, by their opposition to
Garfield, with creating such political
disturbance as to unsettle and bewilder
> the prisoners brain to such an extent as
to cause his reason to be dethroned. The
prisoner INTERCEPTED frequent remarks,
but on the whole seemed to be pleased
with Mr.. Scoyillels speech. He was also
persistent IN demanding the privilege Of
making an address to the jury.
When Mr.. Scoville first became known
to the country, by reason of his connec-
ton with this case, he received much
sympathy on account of his peculiarly
trying position as the counsel of his ins
famous brother-in law, but his silly and
uncalled-for insinuations concerning
some of our most prominent men will
lose him much of the respect which his
earlier course commanded.

STATE comprRo11nn.s REPORT


The animal report of State Comptroller
E. ]. Anderson will be submitted to the
Legislature in few days. 1t states that
the regular expenses OF the State have
been promptly met The reports of the
assessors of the several counties show an
increase in valuations in 1881 over 1880
of S., 833, 703.S6, of which 81, 578 900 is in
Essex, and $2,377,0 in Monmouth
Somerset shows a decrease of $4,000
and Sussex of $676,244 The total valu-
alton of the State in 1881 was $527, 451,-
22250, which is greater than in 1879 or
or 1880, but less than any previous year
back to 1859 The States real estate and
personal property is valued at 81, 407 ,252.-
IL. The estimated expenses of the State
for the next year amount to 81, 10000
To this ought to be added $4,000 for
contingencies. The estimated receips
are $925, 43064 from regular sources,
leaving a deficiency in receipts of 1884,
569.36. Either State tax or sale of
the State securities is necessary to make
up this deficiency A State tax of three
fourths of mill would be amply suffi-
Gent to meet all contingencies.

The Senate last year refused to con-
firm the Governors nominees for Secreta-
ry of State and for State Prison Keeper,
and in making his nominations this year
the Governor has so far sent in no names
for these two Offices. Places not yet va
can't have, however, received his early
attention, and he has, among others, re-
nominated John P. Stockton as Attorney
General, and Manning NJ. Knapp as JUS
tice OF the Supreme Court, neither OF
whose term of Office will expire for sev-
eral weeks yet. Both of these nominees
are Democrats. The failure of the Gov
ernor to send in the name of Judge Dix
on, one of the Republican members Of
the Supreme Court-whose term is as
near expiration as is that of Judge Knapp
would seem to indicate that it is his
intention to influence the Senate in its
action on the question of confirmation;
the impression being that if the Cover
nor's wishes in regard to Judge Knapp
are not properly respected, the nomina.
ton Of Judge Dixon may not be made.

to your especial notice a newly
imported article in the way of
DRESS GOODS. It is called
Yeddo, and is in appearance very
much like striped or figured
satin. 1t is warranted to be all
cotton, and because of the choice
colors so tremendously blended
also for its delicate texture it
makes the handsomest Summer
Dress you could desire. Samples
cheerfully forwarded.
While the Yeddo takes the eye
for its peculiar beauty, FoULEY,
(accent the last syllable), an all
wool fabric, is considered better,
as it is lasting article 1t is
rich and handsome as well as
durable, and the price moderate.
The colors are all plain-not al
figured one among the whole.
