Prohibition Il a Failure.

The high license cause is daily
gaining new converts from the pro-
hibition ranks. Francis Murphy,
the noted temperance orator, in
commenting On the recent defeat of
prohibition in Pennsylvania says:
The death knell of prohibition
is sounded. We are going forward
instead Of backward, aud these great
victories against prohibition are
temperance victories. High license
and restrictive measures will pro-
mote the cause Of temperance, and
the people are sensible enough to
see it,"
Prohibition has proved a dismal
failure the world over, and Its high
time sensible men were abandoning
it. High iiceucc wherever tried has
been followed by excellent results
and it is the only sure and effective
way OF handling the liaSor- question.

Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-02-18

Eddy's name is still familiar TO
the gallery god The more parts he
had TO appear in III one night the happier
he was Ben Baker likes to tell OF Eddy g
Impotence at long waits between the
acts. After playing Richard H., he
would stride up and down the scene and
storm until the stage manager would
raise the curtain on HIS Last Legs or
some other farce in which he was also TO
appear. He would have no waits and the
gallery boy still yells Eddy Eddy!
when he wants the curtain rung up.
OF the actors those who were trained in
the old school have carefully trained
memories capable of obeying any reason-
able call upon them.
Edwin Booth was known as a great
study, - but as he now plays the same
parts continuously he has no need to ex-
ercise his ability in this direction. Law
renee Barrett enjoys the same Feputa-
ton. So does the old-time tragedienne,
Mrs. d. P. Bowers; so does that veteran,
j. b. Studley, who has played every
thing from RolIa TO melodrama, so has
Mary Anderson, so have John Gilbert,
Miles Leyick. Mrs. John Heey, j II :.
Stoddard, Mrs. John Drew. Joe JEFF
ferson was in his day called great
study by. his fellow actors and Dion
Boicault had a similar reputation.
In almost every walk of life a good
memory is valuable. There is head
waiter in an uptown hotel who can carry
a score of complicated orders in his head
at one time, and he has never been
known to make mistake in carrying
them into execution.
Instances of the possession of this gift
might be multiplied. Those cited, how
ever, are enough to show that good
memory is good thing to possess.
