now he saved Young Actor from His

1t is doubtful il there is a member
of the theatrical profession more be-
loved and kindly thought of by his
fellows and all who come in contact
with him than Edwin Booth. To OBJ
tain an engagement in his company is
not only looked upon as an honor but
a delight, and many young stageling
has had to thank his lucky stars for
the interposition OF the great tragedi-
an in saving him from the stage man
ayers wrath. An instance occurred
not long ago. Mr.. Booth had the
stage. and at the end of a solilouuy
was to be caught up by one of the
young men OF the company. But the
young man failed to appear at the
proper time. Mr. Booth managed.
however. by his countenance TO so en-
gage the attention of the audience that
no stage wait was apparent. At last.
the young man still absent and
Mr.. Booth unable TO carry the scene
longer, was about TO have the curtain
rung down when another member.

breach and saved the scene. When
the act was over Mr. Booth inquired
as TO the delay. IL took Manager
Doud about two seconds to bring the
delinquent. who had forgotten all
about another entrance and had donned
his street costume, On the stage. where
he proceeded 10 administer TO the Of

who know him are familiar with. just
as he was waxing most eloquent and
about ready to dump n whole tubful OF

his hand. said softly: II don't think,
Mr.. Doud. would say any thing more
to him on the subject. lilo undoubt-

The Wsv to Capture Cat-rhroats Whs
Operate In tho Mountains
The frequent murders committed In
this State have revived the subject OF
using blood-hounds for the capture OF
the murderer The roads leading
throughout the mountains afford a safe
field for the operation OF such fiends.
Under existing conditions n man may
be murdered in open daylight. and no
matter how vigilant the officers. it is
next to impossible to hunt down the
perpetrators.
Once out OF sight of the scene where
the tragedy was committed the muir
derer is safe, unless pure accident
reveals his identity. But II each sheriff
of the different counties were empow-
cred by law or demanded by custom TO
keep pack OF blood-hounds. escape
would be next to impossible. II il
were known that at every county seat
there were such animals, the discover
err of dead body in the highway would
guard the spot and keep all footst cps
away until the dogs arrived, so that
the sure scent would be gained. Then
the officers would only have to follow
the hounds to catch the guilty party.
Blood-hounds are said to be able to
follow the deer or other animal OF
which they are in pursuit through
herd after herd OF the same animals,
and they will recognize its trail on the
