Well. Joe Jefferson. think. is about
as expert natural laugher as ! ever

entity as though he was pleased over
something. His : a laugh Of The whole
face Instead Of Just about the mouth.
As some one has said he seems 20 be
ticSied when ne laughs In his roles.
Bills" Florence Is an unctuous
laugher and good one. - those who

every ybody knows, has peculiar.
falsetto laugh that Is inimitablo on the
stage. He laughs easily and gracefully,
as much SO, perhaps as any comedian.
or Nat Goodwin can say that 10 Is
not 50 much his laugh that amuses bat
the merry twinkle in his eye that makes
those Who see him laugh. Ho laughs
moro with his oyes than with his
mouth. Frank Daniels has a laugh
that shows an internal chaotic state
while his face is perfectly dry-that IS
devoid apparently Of any funny express
sion. 10 IS hard 20 make Digby Bell
laugh on the stage, but when he once
gets a-gOing he laughs like thunder and
laughs ooze from all mis- pores. Francis
Wilson laughs easily and like gleeful
man. but ne doesn't show il with his
teeth Jimmy Powers mouth is quite
extensive and his laugh on the stage
proportiOnately so. The man whose
laugh IS most infectious is the man who
thoroughly enjoys life. As my exist

Edwin Booth laughs a good deal the
way r. J. Davenport did He is not
gifted as a laugher. The heartiest
laugh l ever heard him make was once
wnen he held his foretnger on the bald

Effects of the Storm.

While the damages by the storm to prop.
erty ct seaside resorts near New York city
and along the coast of New Jersey have
been considerable, the chief disasters have
occurred to shipping 10 the vicinity of the
Delaware Breakwater. 1t is thought that
this storm has given Coney Island shock
from which it will not recover its pr, stige az
q resort. At Long Branch and vicinity, the
ocean has crumbled the bluffs. while lower
dewn 1t has spread over the meadows. Oh
the resorts between Atlantic City and Cape
May, Sea Isle City has been the most rough
ly handled. Cape May has escaped with
but little loss. The total loss Of property
along the New Jersey coast. including the
losses of the railroads, will amount to about
80 600 600
The telegraph wires between Norfolk and
Cape Henry are again land disasters are
reported along that section of the coast. No
news has as yet been received from Hat
teras the wires being sill down, but it ia
thought that there have been no serious
mishaps to vessels In that vicinity.

COMMUNICATED

TIE ELECTRIC LIaHT.-In answer to the
article Ia yesterdays GAZETTE concerning
the Schuyler E ectric Company, the Com
mittee on Light would state that Mr.. Nc
Kenz'e, the chairman, signed no paper, nor
did the committee authorize him TO do 80.
Mr. Cox, the agent, signed a paper for the
electric company that they would run the
plant according to the contract, for 60 days,
and would pay the expenses for doing so ;
nor did the committee agree to refund the
cost of doing go, but would refer 1t TO the
City Council to decide, when the experiment
was made. A copy of Mr.. Cox's statement
would have been published to-day but the
clerk of committee is out of town. The in
tended salary of engineer and fireman was
fixed at $50 and $40 per month, but no se
lection was made, nor will be for some
time yet. Nor is the Gas Company's cosl
being used by the electric company. 1t may
be as we'll perhapa, that the City Council
change the Committee on Gas, there seems
to be such qubbling on the part of come
people who wish to make fuss.
