Garretrs Devotion to nis wife,

Dr Notvin Green, president of the
Western Cnion Telegraph Company, III
recent interview said: John w. Gar
ret, the father, is an obstinate man. with
whom tits impossible to get along pleas
antly unless you aatter him. l.. YOU
don't lac thinks you are an enemy and
capable Of doing ANYTHING mean. He
had one beautiful trait Of Charactcr-his
devotion TO his wife. He did three
fourths of all his business in his library
at home with his wife at his table beside
him Surrounded with telegraph opera
tors there were always three on duty,
and he insisted that every dispatch on
the business of his railroads sent over
the wires should be sent to him-his
wife "aS always at his side giving the
Office q home-llke appearance. Visitors
always saw Mrs Garrett first, and she
dispatched business with many of them
without referring to her husband at all
When the business was important
enough To refer the visitor to Mr.. Gar
ret she sat down and was a listener and
often and often participant in the con.
versatOn. She died three or four months
ago, since which time Mr.. Garrett has
practically done no business. Nothing
except most important business is now
referred to him. His habit, arr radically V
changed. He docs not cveu read the
newspaper, as formerly, and the click Of
.he telegraph instruments in his library
is hushcd or unhecded. But with every
body else than his wife he was irritable

II Is said that when asked the six best
substances for DESTROYING insects above

well-known; but it has only lately been
learned that the vapor Of tobacco is not
only cticctual in destroying insects wber-
ever it eau be coniined, as in yreen-hous-

MODJESKA AND "NADJEZDA."
The Legal Complication at Boston Threat
ening to End DiSaStrOusly.

BOSTON, March 31-The quarrel over the play
"Nadiezda" threatens to break up the Modjeska
theatrical combination. 1t is said that the man
ager has secretly encouraged the quarrel and
the bringing of the suit, thinking it would bring
free advertisement of great value, but that he
has gotten instead a rebellion that will not down
at his bidding. The suit was brought in the
United States Circuit Court by Georgianna D.
Barrymore who is professionally known as
Georgia Drew, against Charles Bozenta, husband
of Nine. Modieska, Helen Bozenta (Modjeska, }
both of California, and Fred Stinson and John
Stetson, both of Boston, to restrain them from
producing "Nadiezda" tomorrow night Mrs
Barrymore claims that she is joint author and
sole proprietor of "Nadjezda" The grounds
of the complaint are that Modjeskas man
ager has violated his contract in not producing
the play certain nights of the week; that the
agreement was that the selection of evenings
should be respected, but the defendants adver
tised the play in Boston for Monday evening
Wednesday matinee and Thursday evening of
this week and performed it these dates and
advertised the same to be performed on Satur
day evening, and that the manager violated her
rights by producing the play on Thursday and
undertaking to produce it on Saturday 1t is
said that Mrs. Barrymore violated some rules of
the company and was left out of the cast for
two nights in consequence and she Immediately
began this suit. 1t is also said that there was
trouble about the day when the company was
playing an engagement in Baltimore and other
places. The royalty Mrs. Barrymore received
$50 night was paid promptly. 1t is alleged
that Maurice Barrymore, the author of the play
told the management that he had given it to his
wife. Mrs. Barrymore, and that they could pay
her the royalties Nine. Modjeska said tonight
that she did not care how the quarrel ended, She
will not play the piece more than three times a
week, for the reason that the principal female
character is so fatgung that it Is impossible for
her to perform the role for consecutive perform
ances. Her manager refused to make any state
ment. Several scandalous stories are afoat, but
cannot be traced to any good authority.

position of German troops show the

of horses and foot artillery are passing through
Berlin to reinforce the eastern frontier The
forces in Alsace will remain at present consti-
tuted It has been decided to make at Dantzig

LONDON March 31.-Later advices give the
details of Gordons engagement near Halfteh on
the 10Th inst. The rebels pursued the Egyp-
tians two miles after the battle. The confusion
during the retreat was fearful to behold. The
Egyptian regulars, BASH bazouks kept shouting
out that their generals had betrayed them.
The wounded received no attention for seven
hours. The troops had been camoring three
weeks before they met the enemy In the early
part of the encounter the Egyptians were sue
cessful and the enemy actually in full retreat
when the cavalry made dashing charge De-
spite the reverse the inhabitants still remain
staunch friends Of Gordon. One of the Arabs
lent Gordon FL, 000 as his treasury is empty
Another Arab equipped 200 blacks for him. Two
black pashas have been arrested for charging
into the ranks of their own troops, thus allowing
the enemy to enter the gap made.
1t is reported the two black pashas whose
treachery caused the defeat of Gen. Gordon's
troops have been court martialed and shot.
dispatch from Suakim says: "All British
troops are embarking for home except the Six
tieth rifles who will remain to garrison the town
until relieved by the Egyptian troops from
Cairo"
Advices from General Gordon, under date of
March 49, confirm the report of the execution of
the two black pashas Ample supplies were ar

Armed steamers daily engage the rebels,
who lose heavily. The rebels are still encamped
opposite the town, but their numbers are de-
creasing. General Gordon is mounting Krupp
guns on an iron lighter, in order to reach the
rebel camp from the river.
