POOR TONY.

a Renaissance of Pet of the The
atre Public.
Everyone interested In theatrical peo-
pie will regret to Term that Tony Hart,
Harrigan's former partner, has been
stricken with an affection which will
totally prevent him ION returning to
the stage. He was for years one of New
Gork's favOrite comedians, and his
types of Irish character have been im-
itated by actors all over the world.
Forming a partnership with Ed. HaTTi-
gan when almost boy, foItuEe
seemed 10 smile upon him, and he be-
came at once the pet of society,
and the successful actor. In his
palmy days his hand was ever
open 10 relieve the distressed, and
many a poor fellow has cause to remem-
Der him. In 1878, just ten years ago, he
was then playing at the old Theatre
Comique, on Broad way, and employed
as dresser, The IVES playing as an
Irish woman at the time) a young girl,
who, In addition to that part OF her
work, had a few lines to speak In the
piece. One night Tony noticed the girl
crying aud on inqulriDg the cause, was
told that the Girls mother had died the
previous night and that the girl had
eSoiOolJ uOucy ohOuBu W Jury ueT. Ony
Immediately handed her a twenty and
spoke few kind words to her.
In the course OF q few weeks the
'dresser" had saved enough to pay him
back, but Tony refused to take 1t, say
ing with smile; "You can send 1t to
me when | am on my uppers." At that
time he was estimated to be worth at
least $4,000; but reverses came; he
split with his partner, HsIfigan, and
tried to star on his own account. He
bought piece after piece but none seemed
to take. with the public. Little
by little his money diminished
and at last he was stricken
with the misfortune we spoke OF, He
is now lying in New York seriously III
and monster entertainment is being
gotten up for his benefit. The girl
whom he befriended went from company
to company and finally drifted to Texas
and became a member OF the Fashion
Tbeater stock company. She never,
however, forgot Tony's kindness and
yesterday she RENTED generous con-
trlbution to his benefit; so that the bread
which Tony cast upon tina waters 10
years ago goes back to him increased
five fold. The dresser" Of ISIS is the
