Sick, Not Drunk.

CHICAGO, February 2S.-The Tribune S
New York special says: A calumny
against Edwin Booth has been refuted.
He closed months season in thi, city
tonight. His acting has been as good
as ever in round of his familiar char
acters, with the notable exception OF
one weeks performance of Hamlet, and
one utter failure as Iago, usually
among the best OF his impersonations.
The time of thelatter occurrence was ION
Saturday night, when the theatre was
jammed, as during the most of lis EN-
gagement. Booth was hesitant
from the start and acted I'M
steadily. In the act wherein
Iago. instills jealous suspicion into the
mind of Othello. and where Booths act
ing is commonly exquisite, he seemed
t. lose himself completely, and a
little later while standing close to the
footlights. he fell forward and would
have tumbled into the orchestra had not
fellow actor caught him. His part
was cut down during the remainder of
the play, and many in the audience be-
lieved the tragedian was drunk. As
much was insinuated in a published
criticism, and stories of his intoxication
became current. A complete denial of
the rumors is made for Booth, and the
cause of his singular inability is ex-
planned. His daughter, Edwina,
has been very ILL. and he
was so deeply concerned that
with difficulty was he restrained
from closing the season here and going
to her. Beside that, he suffers terribly
from dyspepsia, and during the whole
month was unable to attend rehearsal.
The day of the lago mishap, he was
so i'll that he sent word 10 the theatre
that he could not possibly perform that
night, but was induced to change his
mind, although so sick he could hardly
walk from his rooms to the carriage.
In the course of the play he was at
tackled by dizziness, and in the intermIs.
sion before The mentioned act, he had
to lay down a while, but he
did not then swallow drop
of spirits, nor had he done
so during the day. An attack
of vertigo was what allied him when he
so nearly fell off the stage. There
wasn't the slightest ground for accus
ing Mr.. Booth of inebriety." says VIM
Seymour, stage manager, "and every
member of the company has been aware
of his genuine Illness"

A Mob Ouelled,

CHICAGO, March 1.-The Mccormick
Reaper Works resumed operations this
morning, $50 men reporting for duty.
Great crowds were in the vicinity of
the works early this morning, and TO
their presence is ascribed the fact that
larger number did not apply for work,
through fear of intimidation. A large
force of police was on hand to preserve
order, and arrested three or four men
who were noisy and aggressive. Large
numbers of workmen had appeared,
carrying their. dinner pals. but were
taken in charge by the strikers and a
great many were prevailed upon to re-
main outside. Large crowds of strikers
lined Blue Island Avenue, facing the
works, with the evident intention of in
timidatiug any men expecting to go to
work, and finally the police ordered
them back. They were slow to move al
first, but when the order to dispense
came a second time and the officers ad-
vanced they turned and ran across the
prairies, scattering in all directions. The
dispensing of the crowd restored conf
dence to the minds of the wavering ones
who had been prevented from entering
at first, and they started hurriedly ior
the works.
The police arrested twenty men for
creating disturbance, one of whom
was making a speech advocating that
the strikers use their revolvers and
shoot any one entering the yards. They
were taken to the police station and all
arrayed tor carrying concealed weapons.
They were fined IS and cost. Five re-
volyers were found on their persons.

The Rate War.

CHICAGO, February 2S.-The Times
prints the following: The war on the
St. Paul and Omaha passenger rates, is
flash in the pan, up to date. and does not
even deserve the name of skirmish.
The predictions of terribly hot contest
that were rife day or two ago remain
unrealized, and the only tangible ex-
pectation to hold on to is the measure
dictum of the st. Paul road, that it will
sell to Omaha as cheaply as it finds its
rivals making the rate to ST. Paul in the
brokers' Office. This means a descend
ing scale ON the rate of 80 cents or 81
every time scalper sacrifices the COM
mission to secure customer. Up to
| date the action of all of the roads has
been most impotent, SO far as securing
actual results by forced fighting. AS
compromises seem to be impossible,
and an open war is not contemplated,
outsiders are little at sea as to what
the,roads are driving at. The Trans-con.
tinental war is equally feature les al
/ though it is being waged with
full vigor, passenger rates remain
unchanged, with the exception that

connections in the matter of pro.7ating
Notwithstanding the action last week OF
the Pacific Coast Association, and will
continue to share the rate in proper
ton during the contest. Cuts OF all
kinds and degrees are being made out
of Chicago territory and shippers are
masters of the SITUATION. From private
advices it is learned that the fighting is
raging hotter at San Francisco than at
any other point. and both in passenger
and freight traffic Generalization reigns
supreme.

A Word to Workers.

If your avocations are mentally or

to exposure in inclemeut weather, if
they confine you to the desk, and are of
a nature to involve wear and tear of

occasionally require some renovating
tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the article for you, it stimulates the
failing energies, invigorates the body
and cheers the mind. 1t enables the
system to throw off the facilitating
effects of undue fatigue, gives renewed
vigor to the organs of digestion, arouses
the liver when inactive, which it very
often is with people whose pursuits are
sedentary, renews, the jaded appetit e.
and encourages heaithfpl repose, Its
ingredients are safe, and its credentials,
which consist in the hearty endorse
ment of persons of every class of So
ciety, are most convincing. Admirably
is it adapted to the medical wants of
workers.

BADLY 1EATkN.

The Londoa Polo club Gave IL to the Local
Tsam-Score to O-Other Announce.
ments
A good sized crowd went down to the
rink last evening to see the London polo
team play our local club. Many went with
the idea that they would enjoy the sport OF
seeing the Mikados mop the floor with the
Londons but they came home in far diff
erent mood. Almost glance at the for
eign team would be enough to settle the
question As 10 who the champions would be.
They are better built set of men and look
more like athletes than the local club.
But our boys can very easily bring them
selves out if they only keep in practice.
The game commenced about $50 and lead
of with the Springfields in posses
sion of the ball For some time II
was nip and tuck" between the
two sides. First one had it. then the other.
until at the expirationof ten minutes, when
the foreign club scored goal. The goals
were then changed, and about eleven more
minutes of exciting playing ensued, when
the LoDdons again placed another goal to
their credit In about fifteen minutes more
they scored third time, and the game was
theirs.
In all credit to the London team it should
be said that they are all hard workers, and
each one plays as II the entire game de
pended on him. The Springfield boys speak
very highly of the visitors, and declare that
q more perfect set of gentlemen never
played here. Mr.. Fellows acted As referee,
and all his decisions gave general satisfac-
ton, being perfectly just and impartial.
Craig. for the visitors. and Mitchell. for the
home boys, acted as judges, and Harry
Fisher as timekeeper.
The Ravens are hard at work practic-
ing and feel confident of defeating the
''Mikado's" when they again meet.

him for charity. The article was copied
into many papers, and, as a result, there
has been perfect deluge of begging letters
