by Mr.. Brooks, his business manager, and Mr..

Tough had been drinking heavily: "That is true In
one sense, but not in another. The man is sick

But 1t Is not drink that incapacitates him in the
first place. He is sick. He ought not to play nor
to attempt it."
HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS TROUBLED.
From the Philadelphia Press, to-day.
The news OF the mental collapse OF John Nc
Cullough, the actor, caused painful feeling yes
terday among his many friends in this city. A
number OF telegrams were dispatched to Chicago
inquirtng as TO his condition, but the answers
ceived gave little hope. Mrs. Mccullough, the wife
OF the great uagedian, who has made her home in
this city ever since her husband graduated into the
theatrical profession, came down town as soon as
she heard the news and conferred with Mr. Hall, OF
the Walnut street theater, who has always been
one OF Mt. McCullOugh'S best friends. Her visit
was for the purpose OF receiving consolation and
sympathy Well as to talk over the best means OF
quietly inducing her husband to come home and
spend a few months in quiet and repose.
Mrs Mccullough lives in a three-story brick
house on Thompson street Every article in the
room into which her visitor was ushered yes
terday was indicative Of neatneSs and taste Scat
tered about were several photographs OF the actor
His wife is a delicate lady, well bred and quietly
dressed. "He was with us before he commenced
his tour" She said, her eyes filling with tears .but
could not convince him that he was not in con-
dition to travel about the country or even appear
at any theater. When urged him to rest he wOr-
rted at the idea that he needed it."
