A Budget of Newsy Gossip From the
Great Metropolis.

A Budget NJ Newsy Gossip Prom the
Great Metropolis.
II is announced, and on very good
authority, too, says New York CORES
pondcnt of the Louisville Couricr-JoWndi,
that after the present season Edwin
Booth will Sotirc from active work on the
stage and finish play on which he has
worked al odd times for the past FIVE
years. Mr.. Booths friends say that his
retirement j. not caused by any ply steal
weakness, but simply because he desires
10 end his days in quite and peaceful
study. His one great desire is to write u
tragedy. and his only model, needless 10
say, is Shakespeare's.
Tho Old Buwery theatcr, which has
stood for over half a century a monument
to the memories Of Keene, Forrest, Mac
Cready, the elder Booth and a score Of
other actors, Is shortly 20 be torn down,
and on its site Is 90 be erected the lower
terminus Of the Tmrd-ayenue cable road.
IL is said that the railroad company paid
SaOUO for the property, which was
owned by George Cramer. the proprietor
of the Atlantic Ganden,n which adjoins
the theater. For the past three years the
place has been the home of German
drama, but since Amberg put up his new
theater opposite the Academy of Music
IL has been occupied by Jewish drama.
The sharp attack of vertigo which j.
pierpont Morgan had the other day is Of

the occasion of my recent attack | got
out OF humor with the steward OF the
Union League Club, because the shade Of
his Rosa perfectos was not the same ns

nessey brandy was not up 90 the proper
age. There was u certain twang about IL
which Jared my palate and felt the
blood rise TO my head. A few moments
later, began TO reel all over the room,
and imagine that one Of those attacks
will be the last of me. AZ all events Wall

A well-known statesman whom | met
al the Fifth Avenue hotel recently told
the following story;
"A few days before the adjournment Of
congress Senators Plumb, ingalls,, Will
son, of Iowa; Pierce. Casey. Moody,
Pcttigrew, Paddock, Davis and Powers,
10 in all, met in caucus and solemnly re-
solved that they would never, never, never
vote for the tariff bill so long as il I'M
posed any duty, on binding twine. When
the bill came up for passage a little later
only one of the 10 voted against il, and
when the final action lthe adoption Of the
conference report was taken, all but
three Of the 10 voted for the bill, though IL
did not put binding twine on the free list.

cents.
"'yell.' said he, ',if he will sell il to you
for fufteen cent Wy you don'd puy il Of
him, ehg'
II explained that had intended TO buy
Il OF him that morning, but be didn't hap
pen 10 have any on hand just then.
"'Oh, hov said my butcher. Well, you
come aroundt here sometime ven | don'd
got any, and will sell them 20 you for
fuftecn cents, too"
The listening senators laughed rather
heartily at the story. Then, after n mo-
meut Of silence, senator Edmunds sddod I:
