ported company, for a short season, with
one of their most Jealous helpers-one
who was ever ready and willing to minis

to her -bereayed husband and child, and
commend them TO the tender care of the
Great Shepherd of Israel whose eye never
sumbers or sleeps, remembering that in a
few tieeting years we shall all, one by one,
be called to pass through the dark valley
and shadow OF death TO meet the loved
ones who have only gone before TO that
cline where sickness and sorrows of earth
are unknown, and the reunion will be
pure. perfect, satisfying and eternal.

vegetables at him, but they recognized in
him the genius that has since developed
itself and ranks him already, although
but little past thirty. among the foremost
tragedians on the stage.
Mr.. Downing in an interview made hlm-
self responsible for the bare fact only that
he began as amateur On the advice OF
friends he took to the stage as q business
fourteen years ago. and made his first en-
gagement with John Ford of Baltimore
After working very hard for four years ne
began playing leads and afterwards sup
ported Mary Anderson for four years.
Starting out for himself his first venture
was Tally Ho,' but soon realized that the
legitimate tragedy offered a better field
and began with Sparticus. He said: Il
think great deal of 'Virginius' and do
not think there is a nobler or grander
character on the stage"

eminence in Mr.. Downing's profession his
