LYDIA IN LOVE AGAIN.
A Romance in the Life of the
Famous Burlesque Actress.

A Romance in the Life of the
Famous Burlesque Actress.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Something of a
romance h as transpired since the death
of Samuel Colville, the theatrical mana
ger. He made much of his fortune by
importing the original Lydia Thompson
company of blonde burlesquers. At that
time he was gay widOwer OF 40, and 1t
was understood that he fell in love with
Lydia, but she WAS already bound In we'd
lock to Alexander Henderson, and what
ever wooing COlville may have done was
all in vain. Their business connection re-
suited very probably, and with that they
separated. Last winter Lydia ThOmp-
son came to America again on q pro-
fessiOnal tour Soon after she arrived,
and before her reappearance on the stage,
her husband died UNEXPECTEDLY. Her de-
layed return to burlesque In NewYork was
at COlville's Fourteenth Street Theatre,
Old acquaintances of the two predicted
wedlock tor them, but the most intim te
knew that Colville had year before mar
ried Enc Roseau. a stage prOtege of his.
Miss Roseau's real name was ROssn-
quest, and she was once a singer in q
Brooklyn church choir. Her foOtlight
debut was in babes in the Wood"
wherein she was good fairy queen wear
ing an astoundingly nude costume, and
sang BABY Nine" She was large, hand
some and fine vocalist. Colville pro-
NOTED her considerably, aud at
length retired her from the
public gaze to make her
mis- wife. They were seemingly devoted
couple. Now comes the sentimental cpl
sode. The newly widowed Lydia Thomp.
son did not know of Colville's marriage
to Eme Roseau, and one day, when the
latter was present at rehearsal, Lydia
suggested that she be engaged to sing III
the piece. mo, would not permit my
wife to appear in burlesque." said Col
vile. At the end Of that week Lydia sud-
denly terminated her season, though
money was being made, stopped the pre-
paratIons for the ensuing play, and set
SAIL for England. The green room people
seek no other explanation than the one
suggested by the facts as here stated,

JEFFERsoN's DESCENDANT.


"A Chestnut Story Related of Re-
Gently Deceased Tamaqua Barber.
TAMAQUAs PA, Aug. 2S.-Simon Jefer-
son, the colored barber whose death was
reported to-day, was an unusually inter-
esting individual. Previous to coming
here he lived in Harrisburg aud Balti-
more, and was frequent visitor to W ash
Ingt0n. he had seen every President
from the elder Adams to Grant, and
claimed TO be descendant of Thomas
Jefferson. SimOn's father, he said, was a
son OF the great statesman by slave
woman, and Simon was therefore grand
son OF the originator of Je1ersonian sim
plcity.
In 1885 Simon was janitor OF Fremont
Hall, in this borough. Shortly before
Llncoln's second Inauguration Saniords
Mlnstrels came to town. One of the per-
formers, who was a contidant OF Wilkes
Booth, for some reason took fancy to
Jefferson, and told him Lincoln was TO be
assassinated by Booth. This alarmed old
simon, and he contided the secret to John
i. Biandv, President of the Little Schuyl-
XIII Railroad Company, and George
Brown, a prominent mine uper1ntendent,
but they laughed at the idea. Jefferson,
however, determined to go to Washing"
ton. Before Jefferson left the capital
Booth passed through Tamaqua on his way
from Canada to Virginia, aud dropped IN
to Simon's barber shop. Jefferson knew
bis man, as he had frequently seen him
in Baltimore theatres. and when Booth
began criticising Lincoln's policy lively
scene ensued. Booth swore Lincoln would
never be reinaugurated. and declared he
would shoot him himself, but Simon
vowed he wouldn't do it while he was
living. Again he importuned his white
townsmen to interfere, but to no avail,
and. closing his shop, be LETT for Balti-
more and from there went to the inaugu-
ration. He found it impossible, however,
TO get near the President on inaugural
day on account OF the guards of soldfery
stationed everywhere, but, said he, 81 jist
watched for that man Booth, and il I'd
seen him I'd had him rested right on
sight" But no attempt was made on the
Presidents life that day. So Jefferson
boarded a train for home.
The car was filled with Maryland ''se-
cesh," as be called them. Booth and Sur
RAFT were in the party. Jefferson said the
latter tainted Booth so bitterly about his
failure to kill Lincoln that the actor drew
his revolver on his fellow conspirator TO
quiet him and then vowed he would shoot
Lincoln or die III the attempt. Jefferson
returned to Tamaqua and again attempt
ed to have Lincoln warned, but nothing
was done. and little over a month later
Booth kept his vow.
