taking to so prepare the skeleton that IL

EDWIN BOOTHS MOTHER DEAD.
Passing Away at the Home of Her
Youngest Son After an Eventful Life.

Passing Away at the Home of Her
Youngest SON After an Eventful Life.
From the Ne1o York World.
Mrs. Mary Anne Booth, widow of the
celebrated actor, Junius Brutus Booth,
and mother of Edwin and Wilkes Booth,
died at 3 O'Clock Thursday morning from
an attack of pneumonia, at the home of
her youngest son, Joseph A. Booth, in the
Paris flats, No. $3.50 West Twenty-third
street. Mrs. Booth was SO years old, and for
some time prior to her death had suffered
from the debility usual in extreme old age.
A cold contracted ten days ago developed
into the malady which, despite the most
expert medical attendance, ended fatally.
For the past eighteen months Mrs.
Booth has not had the use of her lower
limbs, owing to fracture sustained by
having slipped and fallen upon the pave
ment, and during that period has been
drawn about in hand-carriage whenever
gong abroad. Few persons who encoun-
tered the venerable lady being wheeled
through the streets in her invalid's chair
knew that in her they beheld at once the
wife and mother of two of the greatest
actors America has ever known.
Mrs. Booths maiden name was Mary
Anne Holmes. She married Junius Bru-
tus Booth in London, Eng, in January,
1921, just prior TO that gentleman's de-
parture for America. The newly-wedded
pair crossed in a schooner, the Two
Brothers, and landed at Norfolk early in
the following summer, Mr.. Booth making
his first appearance in Richmond, and
subsequently,, at Petersburg, Richard
Ill. being the role selected In each in
stance. Mrs. Booth has been a widow
for thirty-three years, having lost her
husband in November, 1852. She was q
great tavorite among her acquaintance,
both theatrical and others, and leaves u
wide circle Of sorrowing friends whom
her many excellent traits of heart and
mind had closely attached to her.
The remains will be inferred in Balti-

GEORGE WILKES FEAR.
His Importation of Paris MutuaIs In
tended for Wall Street

His Importation OF Paris MutuaIs In
tended for Wall Street.
George Wilkes died the other day, and
the reputation that he left was not such
as to give the idea that he cared much for
what people thought of him. Neverthe-
less, he was sensitive on one point. He
was afraid that he would be remembered
as professional gambler instead of a
sportsman of the creditable sort. One Of
the few injunctiOns that he impressed on
his visitors Just before his death was a
charge TO deny, on every possible occasion
and as publicly as possible. that he had
brought the Paris mutual system OF bet
ting 10 America, intending TO devote it to
gaming on sports. The facts are curious.
Wilkes was in France in 1862, and there
he saw one of the now familiar machines
for registering bets. He conceived the
idea that il could be used in Wall street for
facilitating speculation in stocks, and for
that purpose alone he bought one to bring
home. On arriving in New York he
showed it to several big operators. en-
deavoring TO form a company 20 purchase
the American franchise, but consultation
with lawyers convinced him that the con-
triyance would surely come under the
law against gambling. Discouraged with
the venture, he let the late Marcus Cicero
Stanley take il of his hands, though he
retained passive interest. Stanley had
no computations such as Wilkes claimed
to feel, and the betting machine was at
once introduced on the turf, to the speedy
enrichment OF its managers. Wilkes
conscience was not so tender as to pre-
vent him from taking his full share Of the
proceeds, and IL was astonishing to his
acQuaintances after his decease to learn
that he was ashamed.
