NEW YoRK, April edwin Booth
arrived from Rochester &C 7:30 D. n,
and was met By his physician, DR.. ST.
Clair Smith. The two took carriage
and drove to the Players club. Mr..
Booth was in good spirits, but not very
robust. he took supper at the club and
sat up until quite late chatting with
friends. DR.. Smith confirms the state
ment that Dir. Booth sustained q partial
stroke Of paralysis. and thinks the attack
was brought on by excessive smoking.
He has directed tie patient TO remain in
doors for q while, keeping quiet and
resting. He thinks Dir. Booth win in
this way regain his strength and be able
10 resume his engagements.
The friends of Edwin Booth, in and
out of the theatrical PROGRESSION, were
greatly shocked at the news of his sud-
den and severe illness and ii is the theme
of conversation on the Rialto and in all
dramatic circles. Steele Mackaye,
Booths old and loyal friend, said that
the great actor inherited a disease from
his father, Junius Brutus Booth, In the
eradication Of which from his system
tobacco was used. Booth acquired q
strong tobacco habit and had been fire.
quently warned that so much smoking
would ultimptely bring on paralysis,
through stoppage of the blood vessels
of the brain, or from hemorrhage Of the
brain.
The playwright recalled the occasion
Of Booths sudden attack of rtigO at
the Academy of Music in this city when
he was playing Iago to Salvini's Othello.
On that occasion Mr.. Booth fell over the
footlights in dead faint and scandal
was engendered by it. The real cause
of that attack was the use Of brandy
and soda as stimulant to weak and
overworked nerves audit produced heart
failure.

last night before large and enthusiastic
audience. Owing to Mr.. Booth illness,
