fome party a story; then a second; if the
second doesn't start him, the third one is

them her "Undertaker Series" They arc
as follows:

The second runs as follows: a New
England gentleman went to Florida in
the last stages of consumption, fingered
n few months and passed away. His be-
reavcd widow telegraphed home: "John
is dead Loss fully covered by insu-
rance" She then set about preparing
the remains for shipment 80 the north.

season was about over, and his large and
select assortment had been reduced to a
single casket, which proved about two

REVIEW.
NEW YORK, June 26.-There was con-
siderable bad news to-day from the
West, but the market to 1880 o'clock
paid no attention to it. Rock Island,
st. Paul, the coalers and VIllands are
all advancing sharply. 1t Was poor
day for trusts, all of them falling oil
sharply, although sugar rallied. The
Western outlook grows worse instead
of better, but we are still confident
that il will not be allowed to 20 far
enough to again imperll the needed
harmony crop reports are less favora-
bic. but the damage is comparatively
slight when the whole wheat crop la
considered. The Rock Island dividend
and an advance in the price Of iron
were bright spots. Money is dearer,
due to the preparations for July dis
buTsements. We see no reason TO
change our views as to the bright fu-
ture for general business and the rail
ROADS and only take conservative posi-
sition, because Of the Western disputes
The market would respond quickly to
good news and all hope for 1t. Soon
after 1870 O'Clock the market began TO
rag off, and in the last hour fell off
quite little, with cotton oil the weakest
feature.

THE DEBUT OF GILBERT.
The VETERAN ACTOR WHO RE-
GENTLY DIED IN BOSTON.

His Parents Designed n business Career
for Him. hut His Desire for = Theatrical
life ovcrcamc Their Wishes, and Ora
matte Art Prontcd Thereby.
Few who have seen the principal ac-
tors Of the American stage will fail 10
remember the veteran John Gilbert,
whose death recently occurred in Bos-
ton. He was born in Boston in 1910. and
IN the very next house TO that in which
ne made his FIRST appearance on the stage
of life another dcbutante appeared in the
person of a girl baby, 10 whom was given
the name of Charlotte, her last name
being Cushman.
His parents were easy going people in
good circumstances. who would have
abhorred the suspicion even If it had
been entertained that their son would
ever become "an actor" Nevertheless
as a boy i'm the Boston high school, he
was distinguished among his fellows
as a natural born dcclaimer, and was
proudly put forward on all public occa-
sions TO "speak a piece"
At IA years Of age he was placed in
dry goods store, where he remained four
years 10 was during this period that
his ambition began to develop into
desire to become something more than a
mere clerk TO a haberdasher. Remem-
bering his triumphs at school, he spent
his leisure hours in the study Of new
Rotations, and possessing a fine figure
and excellent voice he was gladly wei
coined into the amateur theatrical cir
Giles Of the city, and acquired consid-
cradle local reputation for his dramatic
reading
Young Gilbert, being stimulated by
these successes, resolved to give free rein
10 his inclinations and leave the old folks
and become an actor lie often told the
story of his first appearance in public.
"The old fremont theatre" he said,
twas the place in which / was most
anxious to mako my first appearance.
The stockholders were the big men Of
the town, but they knew precious little
about theatrical matters How to get
their ear or reach them in any way was
a pulling problem. Finally, however,
found an acquaintance who knew one
Of the magnatcs, and 10 him / went with /
my plans. He readily fell in with them /
and few days later ! was overioysd to I
learn that the directors would meet me
ON a certain afternoon for the purpose /
of listening TO some recitations and de- /
Gliding whether l could appear in a regu-
lar part.
