PROF. ODLUM, Of New York City, was
killed below the Brooklyn bridge, and the
Professor-and we say it with regret
certainly died as the fool dieth." It had
long been this gentlemans ambition to Jump
from the Brooklyn bridge. Having a
theory that man by a certain management
Of his body can navigate the air. With
his hand above his head, to aid as a rudder,
Prof. Odlum leaped from the railing of
the bridge, and swiftly descended the dis
lance Of one hundred and thirty-fve feet.
The red shirt he wore, giving him the ap-
pearance Of swiftly passing meteor.
Within thirty feet of the water, however,
the Professors body began to turn, and he
struck the water upon his side. His theory
had failed. When taken up he YVES in
sensible, and spoke but once before he
died. A tug filled with reporters and club
men Aoated near the bridge, and secured
the body Of the unwise experimenter. The
reporters and club men who waited in the
tug will surely feel for few days as if they
might have been better employed than
coolIy looking on while reckless man
went to his doom.

HE king and queen Of tragedy have ap-
peared together, and New Workers have
gone wild over the great actress and actor.
An exchange thus criticises the perform
ance
The most noteworthy event of the past
week was the presentation Of sMacbetho
on thursday evening, with Edwin Booth
and Madame Ristori in the principal roles.
Inc attractlveness of the programme offer
ed by this unusual combination Of talent
was SO great that every seat in the Acade-
my OF Music was taken, and not single
available foot Of standing room was left
unoccupied. 1t was an actors ideal an
dience, magnificent alike in numbers and
enthusiasm and yet it is certain that very
many of those who come with the HIGHEST
expectations were not a little disappointed.
Mr. Booths Macbeth is great performance,
but it is not his greatest His interpreta-
ton OF the part is something too finished
and carefully studied. The words fall from
his lips with fine evolutionary effect that
sets forth clearly all their implied mean
ing, yet this subtle analysis of feelings and
motives is something made at the expense
of the rough, fiery force that in Mucbeh
was in constant strife with his more intel
lectual nature. The vigorous outbursts of
native energy do not always receive full
justice at the hands of Mr.. Booth. When,
however, they blend with the imaginative
in Mdcbeth's character, no actor can render
them so superbly. The scene at the ban
quet where Macbeth apostrophizes the ap-
partition of Bonquo was veritable triumph
for Mr. Booth, and at its close the audience
fairly shook the house with their vocifer-
GUS and prolonged applause. Madame
Ristori's Lady Macbeth was very fine so
far as regards the acting of the part; her
facial expression, gesture, movement, all
were admirably but her delivery of the
text in English was neither happy nor i'm
preSsive. Her inability to pronounce dis
tinctly certain of our English sounds, to-
gether with the difficulty experienced by
natives of southern Europe in acquiring
our system of accumulation, combined to
make sad havoc of some of Shakespere's
finest lines. Her greatest success was
achieved in the Sleep-walking scene.
Although the supporting cast was barely
fair, the genius of the two leading players
