Rhfl Sheridan

The news of the death of Gen. Philip H.. Sheridan, at Nonquitt, Mass, telegraphed over the country at the moment of it's oc- currence-1O20 on Sunday night-was saddening, and yet not startling. The meagerness of news concerning his condi- ton for few days past had been suggest i've of the fact that the physicians had no tidings to give to the country that the public wished to hear. Throughout Sunday there were no unfavorable symptoms, but about 9.3O p. m. heart failure suddenly became apparent, and the end soon came.
 Gen. Sheridan was the typical soldier cautious yet flashing. He could be trust ed to make as few mistakes as any man, vet was sure never to make the mistake of not striking before the cooling of the iron. He was graduate of West Point in 1853, earned good record in Indian outbreaks on the frontier, went into the war of the rebellion captain, came out of it with a position beside that of Grant and Sher- man, and held up by these military authol- ties as one in every way fit to command the armies of nation. In succession Grant, Sherman and Sheridan have held the rank of general, an office created spe- cially to honor the brave, and expiring by act of congress with the death of Gen. Sheridan.
 It was the opinion of Gen. Grant, ex- pressed on more than one occasion, that Sheridan was the most thoroughly ap- pointed of all the generals, and would be his choice to command the army in case of another war. There were probably fewer mistakes to be laid to his charge than to that of any general approaching him in prominence of responsibility. He was a most inspiring leader to his men and a most discouraging one for his foe, and it was his fortune to prove at Cedar Greek that one man could be reinforcement equal to a whole division.

There is something i~nenably charming about

the lissome healthiness Of her 1t 10 q
pity that she cannot secure q play in which these
points, and these alone, can have full scope. In
IA Sad Coquette, " which succeeded The Quick

night, Miss Clayton was wofully lacking in emo
tional power. Rhods Broughton's wonderfully pa
thetic story In Miss Clayton's hands was absolutely
c~olorless; only in the comedy, nirtatious scenes
was she in the least successful. Why, oh why do 90
many actresses banker after parts in which they
can die, when their every Characteristic speaks SO
forcibly of buoyant, exuberant life? Miss Clayton
dragging her wholesome body IN q death agony
across the stage was utterly uncalled for. Luckily

Puzzle Came In the Early Mails.
That Gladstone face puzzle published yes
terday may be q very good thing to bewilder
the slow-moving wits Of the Londoners. but
The EVENING WORLD readers made short
work with it.
Practical as they are at solving all sorts Of
puzzles, they went at that composite picture
yesterday with an Ingenious zeal that should
shame their British cousin. Their solutions
flooded THE EVENING WORLD mailbags this
morning. We haven't counted all the solu-
tions yet, but there are at least 800, with sev-
| eral mails yet to hear from.
Most of the pictures are neatly folded,
bringing out the features of the Grand Old

As promised In the announcement we pub
lish only the names of the first ten who sen!

follows: Theodore E. Murray. aged fourteen.

That Needless Step of Raising Broad Prices

~ guess it will make q difference with us"
said o Park Row restaurant-k keeper, who was
spoken to by an EVENING WORLD reporter on
the matter of the rise In the price Of bread.
I'VE use 400 loaves q week here, " he added,
land, of course, we have to get it fresh.
With the weight reduced and the price going
up it is liable to affect us quite considerably"
The news in The EVENING WORLD of yes
terday that the Journeymen Bakers Union
had protested against the formation of q
bread trust among the bosses is talked over
very pleasantly by the people who suffer
chiefly by the tightening of loaves and the in
crease Of price.
1t is an indication which, taken with the
already well-formed idea among certain
bakers that they can't keep up the advance,
leads to the hope and belief that bread will
soon be sold nj its old weight and prices.
The whole thing" said O complacent
west-side baker this morning, - is one of
those schemes sometimes sprung on unsus.
pecting public under the guise of o forced
move. Really. there was no connection be.
tween Old Hutch's , wheat corner and that
rise in -four and bread, further than that the
former made an excuse for the latter among
people who didn't understand that the corner
was all on paper. Fortunately, the true in
wardness Of the matter has come out very
early. Flour is almost certain to fall agar
before many days."
