THE STATE o. K.

Unless Republicans Become Over Conf
dent and Neglect to Vote.
Urban n. Hester, the Republican can
didate for reelection to the office Of
clerk Of the supreme court, says:
1.-THE situation in this state is favor
able to the Republican ticket. There is
really nothing in this talk about Repub-
ican disaffeotion. There can be but one
possible danger. That is over-conf-
dence on the part Of the Republicans.
The Democrats seem to think in many
localities that this is their year and they
are hustling. Should too many Repub-
icans give way to over confidence and
neglect to vote there would be danger.
but I see no ground for any fears on that

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.
As Once Played by Booth in Virginia.

A story is told Of Edwin Booths
experience that is good enough to be
true. Once, during the days of his
early struggles, Booth was "barn-
storming" down in Virginia at place
called Lees Landing. The impro-
vised theatre was tobacco ware
house, and it was crowded by the
planters from miles around. Booth
and his companions expected to take
the weekly steamer expected to call
late at night, and between the acts
were busy packing up. The play was
the Merchant of Venice" and they
were just going on for the trial scene
when they heard whistle, and the
manager came running in to say that
the steamer had arrived, and wOuld
leave again in ten minutes. As that
was their only chance for a week of
getting away. they we're in terrible
quandary. The narrative proceeds:
IF we explain matters" said the
manager, they'll think they are be
ing cheated and we'll have free
fight. The only thing IS for you fell
lows to get up some sort Of Il natural
like impromptu ending of the piece
and ring down the curtain. Go right
ahead, ladies and gentlemen, and
take your cue from Ned here" and
he hurried away to get the baggage
aboard. Ned, of course, was Bassan
10, and he resolved to rely on the ig-
norance of the Virginians of those
days to pull him through all right.
So, wher old George Ruggles, who
was doing Shylock, began to sharpen
his knife upon his boot, Booth walked
straight up to him and solemnly said
You are bound to have your pound,
of flesh, are your"
"You bet your lifeP' said Ruggles.
Now, I'll make you one more Of
fer continued Booth. "In addition
to this big bag of ducats, I'll throw
in two kegs of nigger-head terback, a
shotgun and two of the best coon
dogs in the state
"I'm blamed if I don't do itr re-
sponded ShYlock, much to the sp-
probation of the audience, who were
tobacco raisers and coon hunters to a
man.
"And to show that there's no ill
feeling" put in Portia, well wind up
in Virginny reel
When they got on board the steam.
er the captain, who had witnessed
the conclusion Of the play, remarked:

play some time. I'm blamed if 1

New York City Experiences the Worst
Fire Known for Years.
New York, April 20.-The most de-
structive fire that has visited this city
for years completely swept the east bank
of the North river, from Fifty-ninth to
Sxty-fifth street. 1t destroyed more
than million and a half dollars worth
of property belonging to the New York
Central Railroad Company, and at least
half million dollars worth belonging
to N. X. Fairbanks, of Chicago, the Ros-
sitter stores and others. The fire started
on the ground floor of the Fairbanks lard
refinery formerly belonging to the w.
j. Wilcox Lard company. building
200 feet square, stretching from Fifty
ninth to Sixtieth street, and facing the
North river. The building was old and
soaked with grease, and the flames
quickly enveloped the whole structure
The $50 employees found escape by the
stairway cut off, and most of them had
to jump from windows. Many were in
iured, and one was killed outright. The
excitement was so great. and the police
had so much to do. that it was impossi-
