Madame Janauschek, the distinctly
effective tragic actress, appears at Har-
per's theatre tonight. The New York
Times says:
.sThat Nine. Janauschek is today the
most lofty of living tragic actresses goes
without question. The power. the pas
sion, the force. the effectiveness and the
greatn ess of her sublime genius have been
recognized by the ablest critics of two
contin ents tho have paid glowing tributes
to the worth and artistic value of super
lative acting. For Nine. Janauschek
words of praise are hardly necessary to
improve record which is well nigh COM
plete, and one of the most remarkable in
the history of the stage. The power to
move, excite, sway and THRILL cultivated
audience is still hers to an almost mar
velous degree and places her at the head
and front of the tragedy actresses OF the
day. Her appearance here is heralded Us
the DIT onounced tragic event of the season

Mr.. Benjam Strueselaer, laborer al
the saw mill of Weyerhauser s. Denk-
mann. died suddenly in his home on
Eighth avenue near Seventh street at Sic
last evening. He had just returned from
his work and having washed his face and
hands, had just begun the use of the
towel when he suddenly sank to the
floor. His wife, Sophie Strueselaer, who
was in the room, was at his side IN an
instant, but before she could sum-
mon help, her husband was dead. Mrs.
Christian Mathey, neighbor. was soon
notified, and who responded at once, and
found the evidences of life still in the
body as the eyes were humid and the
pulse beating The head was cold, how
ever, and on reexamining the pulse it was
found to have ceased. Mrs. Mathey then
mixed water and vinegar, which she
dashed on the face of the lifeless man
with hopes of bringing about resuscita-
ton, but to no avail.
DIR. S. G. Plummer WAS sent for, and
after examining the body. he pronounced
apoplexy the cause of death.
These were the facts as elected by Cor
oner Halves jury, composed of Messrs.
G. W. Halves, foreman; s. G. Plummer,
c. E. Huntley, Lawrence Kramer, Fred
Holdorf and P. A. Carlson, and whose
verdict was, that the deceased came to his
death from an attack of apoplexy.
The deceased was fisty>two years of
age, was Belgian, and had been in this
country nine years. and in Rock Island
eig1t years.
