MRS. LANGTRY.
a short sketch of Her Career as an Actres
-WhV Sha Salactad the Staga.

4 Short Sketch of Her Career as an Actress
why She Selected the stage.
The following sketch taken from the
Bdltimoredn of a recent date, will no doubt
prove of interest to the people of this city,
from the fact that the subject of the sketch
will appear here on May 8, as GdldteG in Pyg-
malion
Mrs. Langtry was born, reared and edu-
Gated in Jersey, one of the Channel Islands
of Great Britain. Her father, the Rev. Mr..
LIE Breton, is the Dean of Jersey, and one
of the most aged ecclesiastics OF that rank
In the Church of England.
Some years after the subject of our sketch
had been married to Mr.. Langtry, she was,
through the influence of her brother,
Clement lie Breton Ia barrister In good
standing In London, who married daugh-
ter of Lord Ravelagh,) aided by the gentle
man last named and Frank Miles, the
painter, introduced into Lodon society, and
became what is there known as profes-
sional beauty. The painters and photogra-
pliers soon made her famous.
At the time of her marriage, Mr.. Langtry
1t is said, owned property in Ireland which
brought him an income of about 200
per annum, but, owing to the political
troubles there, it was SO reduced, that last
wear 1t amounted to but 81 500. Then II
was that Mrs. Langtry decided to turn her
popularity to account by going upon the
stage.
In November, 1881, she made her first ap-
pearance Oh any stage, in the Town Hall,
Twickenham, acting with amateurs in "a
Fair Encounter" At a matinee performance
for the benflt of the Royal General Theatrical
Fund in Haymarket Theatre, London, she
made her professional debut, playing MISS
HqrdcdStle In "She Stoops to Conquer u
Her first professional engagement was made
in the same theatre, January 10, 1889, when
she appeared In "Ours," which was played
alternately with "She Stoops to Conquer
until the close of her season, April %.
Shortly after this she started on a pro.
vincial tour, which ended in Nottingham
July %. She began an engagement in the
Imperial Theatre, London, September 1S
acting Hester GlazebrOok in can Unequa
Match" and later, she played Rosdlimd ii
Gas You Like IT, for the first time. Sh'
closed there September Both, and saileC
| for America October 14th in the steam
ship Arizona, to make tour under th'
management of Henry e. Abbey. Her debu
was made at Wallack's Theatre, New York
| November 9th. Many assert very positively
that she is not an actress In the general &C
| ceptation of that term, and she herself ad
mits that she is not an actress. She main
tains, however, that she is laboring dill
| gently to become one, and hopes to succeed
All who have seen her, either on or off tn
stage, pronounce her decidedly attractive II
face and the very embodiment of grace an,
symmetry In figure. She dresses with mos
exquisite taste, and adorns q very prett
hand with a profusion of diamonds an
emeralds, thus rendering that membe
doubly attractive.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.
OPENING OF THE REGULAR
BASE BALL SEASON..
THE oUIoKsTEPg GOOD START.
Beating the Brooklyn Club In Fine
Contest-Loague and Association Games
in Various Places.

Yesterday afternoon the Quickstep base
ball club Of this city opened the Inter State
championship series by 8 game with the
Brooklyn club, which, despite the cool
weather, was witnessed by aboutS00 people.
For the first time this season the home
club not only batted well but played
a remarkably steady game IN the field, only
breaking up once, and then recovering
themselves before doing any great amount
OF damage. Dorr pitched splendid game,
though little Wild at times, and was sup
ported in excellent style by McKenna, who
also did good service In working the
men around the bases. He lost
his temper once, however, when one of the
Brooklyn players collided with him as be
was running for passed ball, and allowed
a run to be scored while he was "chinning"
over the affair. With this exception he
played faultless game, and was effective
at the bat
For the infield Albert, Smiley and Snyder
covered every inch of available ground, i,
while Cunliffe at right and Parker at left
field took every chance offered them. Bar
Der played well at third, with the exc option
of some poor throwing. Cusick had but
little to do at centre field, but he got in
some solid work at the bat.
The Brooklyn men played well In the field,
excepting their catcher, who Is evidently not
up to the mark. They were unable to do
anything with Doris pitching, however and
would have secured but two runs had it not
been for some glaring fielding errors by
their opponents.
Below Is the full score:

CASES BEFORE THE MAYOR.
How Elijah johnson Lost His Watch-A
Woman with a Chewed Ear.

Woman with a Chewed Ear.
Thomas Williams, young colored man,
borrowed Elijah Johnson's silver watch on
the 23rd of April, for the purpose of putting
on style at the circus. He forgot to return
1t and finally sold it for 81 to pawn broker
on Market street. Elijah did not like the
way Williams treated him in the transaction
SO he had a warrant issued by the Mayor.
Williams was given hearing last evening
and held in 800 bail for his appearance at
court.
Isaac Smith, man old enough to have
more sense than to attempt to sleep on
brick pile, was the next prisoner. He was
charged with Being very drunk. The officer
stated that he had found Isaac asleep upon
q pile Of bricks, which accounted for the
peeled condition of his nose and cheek. He
was fined so cents and costs, 1t being his
first offense.
William Cox was accused by Annie
Hamilton with brutally beating and choking
her child, aged 10 years. Annie could not
sustain the charge and the case was dis
missed. Austin Harrington was present in
the interests of the Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Children.
Mary Reed, Ella johnson and Annie Still
were given hearing on a warrant sworn
out by Millie Nina Demby, who swore that
the three young women had waylaid her in
Mechanic street, on Monday night, and had
used her roughly. "Annie Still" said the
witness, "knOcked me down aud chew,
my ear for twenty minutes" The evidence
rather showed that the prosecuting witness
was as much to blame as the defendants, so
the case was dismissed.
Three cases of drunkenness were disposed
Of at the hearings this morning.

Supplements the Attack of the Rev II.
B. DuVaI on the Tribe of QuackdOm.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: Will
you allow me your columns as a citizen to
thank the Rev. f. B. Duyal for lis effort to
overthrow quackery and deceit in exposing
the artful swindle of the soi-distant, Rev. J.
T. Inman. | know of know viler wretch in
this world than he who endeavors under the
guise of religion and morality to impose
fraud upon his fellow man. AS compared
with him any other swindling trafiieker is a
paragon of excellence.
Now in order to check these rascals 1t is
necessary to break the levers with which
they work, and one of the greatest and
most effective of these levers is the Relig-
ious Press; and it is to be hoped that all
Jealous men in the Holy calling so ably and
so modestly represented in this Instance by
Mr.. Duval will attack this great evil with
pepper and hot shot in this its strongest
fortress.
The good man at his fireside naturally
looks to this press next TO his Bible as his
guide ,anG hence it influences him to uphold
and sanction everything receiving the i'm
piled approval of such an authority, and
certainly he takes the publication of these
quack advertisements as the implied sane
tion and even recommendation of the
editors and proprietors.
lake as exam pies copies Ol dlIlObU any Ol
the prominent religious newspapers. LOOK
over their advertising columns and you find
them full of vile deceit and immortality. The
presence of such stuff only made possible by
the ill-gotten gold of the Williams who foster
it, and these pious frauds of the religious
press are the harlots into whose laps this
gold is tossed.
Some time since one of the prominent
New York religious weeklies published
letter to it on this point and their editorial
reply was that the publishers, not the
editors, were responsible. Can a Christian
man recognize anything tending to i'm
morality 2 Away with such hypocrisy.
When one reads the unmistakable good
these papers always contain and then passes
to the advertising columns he must look
upon all connected with the sheets as hypo-
critics, whilst they so lend themselves with
the influence of their papers to the vilest
among the vile OF all the children of men.
Respectfully and dutifully,

THE BEACHAMP TRIAL.
The Illness of "a Juror Delays an Expected
Verdict of AcquittaI.

DENTON, Md, May Juror Fleetwood
was taken sick tonight and court had to
adjourn until tomorrow. A verdict would
probably have been rendered had not the
proceeding been cut short All the argu-
ments had been made except Col. Bryant's,
aud he was more than half through speak
ing when the interruption occurred. Mrs.
Beachamp sat beside Mrs. Linden, Miss
Linden and Mrs Carter. Her face bore the
same cold, calm, determined look that it
has worn throughout.
Col. Bryant will close his argument to-
morrow. A verdict will be expected shortly
afterward. There has been some talk of n
possibility OF a failure to agree, but it is
hardly likely, as such winding
up of the case would be very
unpopular. The people do not
desire that there should be new
trial under any circumstances, as a fresh
estimate of the cost already incurred places
the amount at over $1,000. The speeches
OF tie lawyers were exceptionally strong
Mr.. Gibson spoke nearly eight hours.
Mr.. Mutchler, for the defense, made an
able Argument on the medical issue, and
was followed by Mr.. Downes in a forcible
speech. Mr.. Russum, in the course of his
remarks, attributed the rumors with which
Mrs. Beachamp's name has been connected
to idle gossip, and said that the witness
Moore, who had helped TO circulate the re-
ports, was the personitication of Uriah Heep.
The devotion that Mrs. William f. Liden
has shown to the prisoner, who is her sister
in-law, has been noticeable. She has been
with her every day, and has spared neither
time nor expense in furthering her interests
Mrs. Liden is lady Of decided intelligence,
and was the most important witness.
The brothers OF Beachamp say that they
cannot help thinking Mrs. Beachamp is
guilty but add that If she is acquitted and
should at any time in the future need assist
ance they will do all they can for her.
