MAIsv ANDERSON.
What the London Critics Thinks Of the
American Actress.

The London papers have elaborate criti-
cisms of Miss Anderson's appearance at the
Lyceum. They do not like the play Of I'm
gomar," which is poor version of the sterl
ing German romantic drama, and evidently
feel at loss because they cannot compare
Miss Anderson with every English actress.
"a The universal verdict is, however.
phenomenal success" even though n
portion of this the Times attributes first to
to curiosity, second to Irvings prcscnta-
ton Of the actress to his public and third to
English hospitality. The Times thinks that
Miss Anderson has vast talents, but lacks
genius.
The Duty Neus sits on the fence with his
brother tue Times.
The Standard says GAN we can do at
present is to chronicle Miss Andcrsou's COM
p!clc success, the recalls being so numerous
as to defy particularization.
Sims says that the pulse of the house was
stirred 10 favor of the American artist was
increasingly evident. She came, was seen
and conquered. Very few if any of the ac-
tresses OF our own stock could go through
such an artificial part with the same delight
full naturalness."
Clement Scott of the Telegraph thinks that
she was heavily handicapped by the choice
of the play, but admits ''iherc must clearly
be something in an actress who can not only
hold her own as "Parthenia, but in addition
dissipale the duIlness of 'Ingomar.' AS for
her beauty, he thinks she is more Venus
by Mr.. Gibson than Venus Of Milo a classic
draped figure of Wedgewood plaque more
than nm echo from the Parthenon. He thinks
her great fault in acting is insincerily and
inability to grasp the sympathics of the
han f. nth nr "A md thath nr
''peplum" gives her more concern than her
passion. lie would like to see more SINGER
ivy and less well studied artificiality, but ad-
mits that these things did not affect her audi
ence, who checred her as il their hearts were
really touched.

INITIATING ABRAHAM.
A Father Crazed by Religion Offering
His children ns Sacrifices.

An Erie, Pa, despatch tells the following
horrible story The eastern part of this
county is intensely excited over the actions
of Il mau crazed by religion. Some months
ago Sylvester Knott, wcll-to do farmer,
living in Il comparatively isolated spot on the
shore Of Lake Eric, attended u meeting of
the salvation army n, Franklin. lie became
very much excited, and finally insane. For
Two weeks past he has wandered up and
down the shore. declaiming on religious
themes, picturing the horrors of the iudg.
ncnt day, and calling upon sinners to
worship God or he ctcrnaly lost. Sat
urday morning he planted large cross in the
| woods upon which to nail his Swear. old son,
believing the boy would be tormentcdln hell
fire forever unless he died the death Of the
Savior. With almost SUPP rhuman strength
Knott held the lad firmly while driving a
large nail through the lite fellows hand
perfectly regardless of his piteous cries for
mercy. The dreadful work was interrupted
by some wocd-cutters who Happened tc he
passing. Leaving his son hanging, the
maniac fled, first striking Down one of his
rcscueis with hammer lie lcaptd into
the bike, and as the search for him proved
fruitlcss 1t was thuught that he had been
u''N uc'I. MS " us NO. tuc Cist, hOWcNtT
Before midnight the crszy man returned
smash d in the dour of his house, and
knocked Mrs. Knott Inscnsible at u single
blow.
Entering chamber In which his only
augh'er-Miunie, II girl Of seventeen-lay
asleep, he bound her hand and foot and car
rlcd her TO lonely place III the forest where
hundreds OF cords Of wood were piled. An
altar was quickly built, and upon 1t the mad
man secured his child. Even us Abraham
did with Isaac, will oifcr You as burnt
Offering unto God, chantcd the mailman,
setting the funeral pyrc ON fire The flames
soon reached the limbs of the girl, whose
shrieks of agony and prayers for more mer-
ciul death were music to the madmans ears.
Dancing around the heap on which lay the
girl, he implored the Almighty to accept the
sacrifice as an atonement for the sinful deeds
committed by him in past years. Ile added
fuel to the alter. But help arrived in time 10
prevent the ConsummaliOu of the fearful de-
sign. Two young men crossing the woods on
their way home from n party saw bright
light, and heard the young woman's screams.
One fcllcd the father while his companion scat
tered the blazing wood and lifted the girl
from her fiery bed. The cords that bound her
limbs were transferred to those of the uncon-
scious maniac. Miss Knots legs are badly
burned, and there large blisttrs on her shout
crs, arms and sides. So awful was her exper-
ricncc that the doors of an asylum may open
10 admit the daughter as well as the father.
Ste raves night and day, and it is feared her
reason is permanently dcthroncd.
