The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1885-11-19

Cardoza never took an active part in
public affairs. He confined himself to
bis law business, and having an extensive
clientage among the Jews, made money
aud dies rich. He was man of excel
lent legal ability and fine social qualities
had he chosen to do 80, he might have
occupied an enviable position among the
honored jurists of the land, but his evil
associations led him down to ruin, and
his terrible fall will serve for years to
come, to point moral and adorn tale.
Tho death of John Mccullough, the
actor, though it occurred in Philadelphia,
has created quite as much of sensation
here as it does in the city of Brotherly
Love. He was one of our best known
and best liked dramatic artists. The
profession he belonged to is subject to
very violent antagonisms and jealousies.
Many star actors are thoroughly detested
BIZ the profession. Mr.. Forrest was hated
by every company that he had anything
to do with for the last twenty years of
his life. Mr.. Booth is thoroughly dis.
liked by those who are brought into
professional association with him, and
the same may be said of Lawrence
Barrett and many others; but John
Mccullough died as he lived, with the
kindly regards of all who knew him. 1t
was in this city that he achieved his
greatest triumph, and it was here on his
departure for Europe, that the literary
elite of our city assembled at Delmonico's,
to give him Godspecd. John McCul-
loug gh was then at the zenith of his
success, he had completed the longest
and most brilliant engagement of his
life, and stood on the pinnacle of fame
at the Metropolis of the nation. 1t was
the proudest and happiest day of his
life. England was disappointment to
him, neither the fattery of the Prince of
Wales, nor the vivas of the Garrick
Club could compensate the absence of
the public. When he returned he was
not the same John Mccullough, who
left us only few months before. The
man who stood before thousands in the
arena as model gladiator, was bent and
thin and shrivelled. The temper that
was generous and open as the sunlight,
became morbid and sour, and so after a
few months he passes away in the very
bloom OF his manhood and the zenith of
his fame. While strong men wept-
there were hundreds OF women, who
viewed the remains, and sobbed as if
their hearts would break-many appear.
ed to lose all control of themselves, and
could not have mourned him more sin
cerely, if he had been brother or a
husband. The delegation from this city
to the funeral was the largest that ever
left here to attend the funeral of pri-
yate citizen. While he was admired and
respected by the general public who
knew him only as an actor, he was loved
and honored by the profession Of his
adoption, of which he was one of the
most distinguished ornaments.
Mary Anderson's manager, Mr.. Abbey,
informs us that the cash receipts of that
lady have averaged nearly $4,000 night
not bad for Our Mary. Miss Marga-
ret Mather's manager has not yet favored
us with peep into his cash box, but if
Miss Muther is not drawing $4,000
night, it is because the house won't hold
it. Miss Mather is testing the capacity
of her house, and she has made such a
hit in Juliet that it promises to be the
standing attraction for weeks.
But if, as many good people declare,
the gentleman with the cloven hoof is
the especial patron of theaters, it is
evident that he is not going to have it
all his own way this winter, for the Epis-
copal Mission, Of which I spoke some
months ago, has begun and is already a
grand success. Till recently the Episco-
pal Church has never favored these 80
called religious revivals, nor does the
present mission partake of the character
of the old fashioned camp meeting. 1t
seems to be patterned after the Catholic
Missions, and characterized by deep
religious fervor, more than loud spasmod-
ic utterances.
The ministers having the missions in
charge have come over from England,
and are gentlemen of great experience
among the poorer classes. The idea seems
to be to get rid of the impressions that
the Episcopal Church is the church Of
the aristocracy; but it is The church
alike of rich and poor. All the resident
clergy are lending the good work their
heartiest cooperation, and up to the
present time the result has been most
gratifying and satisfactory-thousands of
people filling the missions who have
rarely been seen inside Of church.
The ministers in charge are live men
men of the people, who could run foot
race, or preach sermon and win both.
One was the stroke oar of the Cambridge
crew for years, and the other during his
senior term at Oxford, was the most
wonderful athlete of his class. Robust
in health, strong in faith, earnest in
their glorious work among the poor, the
Episcopal Church is proud of them, as
they are proud of their grand old mother.
Before the winter is past, we expect
great results from the work now going
on, and it certainly marks new era in
Episcopacy in America.
No event has stirred politicians in this
vicinity more than the case of Mr..
Sterling, who was appointed weigher,
and then suspended by the President:
On every corner, if you see q knot OF
men in conversation, if not discussing
the probable chances Of Warner-Frcd.
Wards pal, you may be sure they are
talking about Sterling. Mr.. Hedden did
not like the idea Of having his man
bounced, and is determined, if possible,
to get him back. He is bigger elephant
on the hands of the administration than
Kelly. The swallow tails say he is an
outrage on the civil service, and the
horny handed say, civil service be
blowed. 1t would be an act of mercy to
the administration to elect Sterling
Brooklyn alderman. That is the way
out of painful national dilemma for
which / make no charge.
Yours truly,
BRoADBRIM.
