A DEMENTED ACTOR.
The Antics OF Mccullough. the
insane Tragedfnn.

CHICAGO, Oct. Statements are pub
lished here that John Mccullough, the
tragedian, has not been informed that
all his engagements have been cancelled.
After rehearsal Tuesday afternoon he
was shown a letter from McVicker in
which his illness and consequent ina
bility to do himself justice were specified
as reasons for closing the house. The
actor was lying down at the
time, but rose and dressed him
self and in company with his man.
agor, went to McVicker's residence.
He was angry at first but Mr.. Mcvicker
succeeded apparently in convincing him
that the action he had taken was for the
best and the tragedian returned to his
hotel and accepted the situation. He
supposed, however, that his perform
ances were to be resumed at Detroit,
the next place on route, and nothing
was said to disabuse him of his error. A
careful watch was kept upon him all
night and all day. Early yesterday he
read what the newspapers had to say
about him aud in the afternoon
he went to the fremont House and told
Miss Tracy he intended to go to Detroit
at once. She persuaded him to wait
until evening. Shortly before o'clock
he ordered his baggage sent to the depot,
and proceeded thither himself. His
friends withheld his baggage, and two
of Fmkerton's detectives followed him.
They found him walking up and down
the platform with Miss Tracy and in an
apparently calm frame of mind. By lit
tie stratagem of Mr.. Brooks, he managed
to induced him to enter carriagaanI he
was driven back to the hotel, where he
arrived very much excited and angry.
He struggled desperately and struck
Mr.. Brooks with his cane. Another
scene followed in inducing him to reach
his room. Miss Tracy followed him to
the hotel crying convulsively, but she
succeeded in calming the actor aud
bringing him to realize that he is not in
q condition to Gil any engagements for
some time to come. just what Nc
Cullough now intends to do could not

Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1884-06-14

AMERICA is for Americans, but
Americans are not only those who
happen to have been born within its
geographical limits. Americansm is
q spirit, and it is the spirit of Ameri-
canism that needs at all times to be
cultivated and developed. Not Irish
men, not Germans, not Englishmen,
not Scandinavians, but Americans.
Whatever tends to keep up the differ
enoe of birth is un-American, and is
dangerous to the future of the country.
Homogeneity is the saving power of
this polyglot nation.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1884-06-14

THE chief editor of Puck disclaimed
at Chicago any feeling of hostility to
Blaine, although the cartoons in his
paper were used as campaign docu-
ment by the. enemies of the popular
candidate. But the editorials in this
comic paper go far beyond the car
toons in otlensiveness. They are in
the worst taste, retailing the same old
stories which were SO recently ex-
ploded by the able letter of William
Walter Phelps, and adopting that high
moral tone which the followers of
Edmunds affected at the Convention.
This comic paper has strong German
bias. Blaine is offensive to it precisely
as he is Objectionable to the London
Pau Nal Gazette, because he is an out
and-out American, who believes in
making all foreign nations respect the
American citizen. This and his warm
advocacy of protection are at the bot
tom of nine.tenths of the opposition to
him, which is too mean and cowardly
to say honestly why it hates him and
longs for his defeat.-SGn Francisco
