Booths First American Appearance
From the Detroit Free Press.

The story of the elder Booths appearance
on the American stage is told in
this volume C'The Actor" IN anonymous
book and it is one of the bits of dramatic
history that will live as long as the mem
DRY of the great actor survives.
He was - years of age when he arrived
in America He landed in Norfolk, Va,
and at Richmond he found company play
ing under the management of Charles Gill
fert, to whom Booth introduced himself.
An engagement was Immediately effected,
and he opened in his favorite character, Itica-
ard ILL.,, on the nigh OF July IL, 1921.
During the first three acts SO tame was the
performance that Gilfert was in doubt
whether no had not been the victim of an
impostor who had assumed the name Of
Booth. This, however, was the effect of
illness induced by his sea voyage, but in tho
fourth and fifth acts Richard was himself
again, and never says the historian, did
tuis gifted genius represent the crooked
backed tyrant with more satisfaction TO an
audience The eccentric manage was in
ecStasieS and the audie ice was electrified.
a gentleman who was III the Richmond
theauer that night, related that his little
daughter, who sat beside him, whispered:
Papa, could you see the two spiders he
was looking at Ola the floor"
mo, my DEAR" was the reply, "but |
thought felt them crawl when he put his
kano 10 his bos IN to tear tIen off. :"
This extract is from the scene referred to:
81 tell thee coz, I've lately had two spiders
Crawling upon my starrled hopes.
Now, though thy friendly hand has brushed EN-
Yet still they crawl offensive to my eyes.
Iwould have some kind friend to tread upon EN-;
would be King, my cousin"
ALoERNoN (waiting)-Aw. | say, Bobby, what
docs you an sistah think Of mo, anyway.

roughly treated.
INFERIOR CARS.
Bishop Gaines. jackson McHenry and
other colored men testified that the cars
provided by the Georgia road for colored
people were inferior to those provided for
white people.
Part of the testimony was that the apart
ment assigned to colored people was one end
of a car, the other end of which was allot-
ted to smokers, and the partitions in some
instances did not extend to the top of the
car, The witness said that smoke came
over this partition and through the window

Fire in Chicago,

CHICAGO, January 1.-THE fire
OH Madison street proved very de.
structi,e The firms burned out on
the first floor were 7. II. Griffith &
Co., importers OF taiiors' trimmings:
the Nonantum Worsted Company,
Nanatuck Silk Company, and Corti-
.celli spool Silk Company. An as
sistant fire marshal places the loss
on the buildinganGeeonS5ftB at S175,-
600
The total loss by the fire will
reach 5000, 900. The night was in
tensely cold. The firemen were
greatly hamPered by the heavy
coatingS of ice which rendered their
movements slow, and it seemed all
most hours before they fairly began
to work. The high wind prevailing
prevented the solid streams of water
from reaching abovethe second floor
and this had considerable to do with
the spread Of the flames upon the
upper floors After two hours hard
fighting, however, the flames were
considered under control.
Several of the fremen were COM
pletely overcome by the dreadful
exposure and were carried into the
Gault House to be thawed out.
Their garments were covered with
ice several inches in thickness and
were SO thick and clumsy as to rem
der movement well nigh impossible.

had read the circular sent out in
1878 by the authority of the repub'
lican congressional committee Col
which Mr.. Hale was a member
calling on government employees
! for political contributions.
Mr.. Hale justified the circular
and said that it directly and explic
lily excluded tha idea of extorting
contributions.
The Blair educational bill was
then taken up. Mr.. Coke spoke in
opposition to the bill. He said it
was evident that the purpose of the
bill was not alone to provide money
for the support Of schools, bnt to
follow the money to It's expendi-
lures. Il was not proposed to stop
with handing the money oyer to the
states and territories to be expend-
ed in accordance with their respec-
tive plans and school systems, but

the most marked feature Of the adj
vancement Of the South was the
growth of her common schools. They
were to- day under the influence of
public sentiment, keenly alive to
their importance and it WAS safe to
say that so far as ilhteracy in the
South is durable i is decreasing
under the banihcent influence of
an improved system Of public
schools.
Mr.. Gray, of Delaware, obtained
the floor for a speech Oh the same
measure, but gave way to Mr.. But
Ter for a motion to adjourn, which
was carried at 3;45 p. m. The adj
iournment without executive sts>
sion was due to the determination
of some enators to insist upon the
consideration of Lamar's nomina~
tions in advance of ttcse OF Villas
and Dickinson, and TIE consequent
prospect of a sOmcwhat prolonged
contest, which none were anx-
ious to enter upon SO late in the al
teTnOon.
HoUsE-The Presidents message
was referred to the committee on
ways and means.
Mr.. Randall, from the committee
on appropriations, reported resolu-
ton calling on the Secretary of t he
Treasury for schedule of all the

officers of the treasury under appro-
priations. the balances of which
