THEATRICAL RIOTS.
shrewd Tricks Played by an Early
Schemer by the Name of Nenncr


Readers of dramatic history are
familiar with the well-worn subject of
theatrical riots. The O. T. riots, the
Bottle conspiracy" disturbance in the
Dublin theater, the Mscready riots at
New York, with many other similar
outbreaks, have often been described.
But an Elizabethan forerunner Of these
disturbances may not be so well known,
says writer in the Cornhill. About
the end OF October, 1902, the London
play-goers were informed by bills cir
culated by rascal named Venner that
on a certain Saturday evening there
would be performed at a theater son
the Banckesido' a play ''to be acted only
by certain gentlemen and gentlewomen
of account"
AS at that time women never acted in
public, the female parts of plays being
taken by boys and men. such an an
nouncement brought crowds to the
theater. The charge was eighteen
pence or two shilliDgs, and Venner.
when most OF the money was taken, de-
camped with the spoil. He endoavored

taken and secured. In the meantime
the victims Of the hoax, as soon as they
saw how they had been gulled, wrecked
the theater. John Chamberlain, writ
ing to Dudley Carleton, in one of a nun
Der Of letters since published by the
Camden Society says that they "re-
venged themselves upon the haneings,
curtains, stooles, wales and whatsoever
came In theire way, very outragiously,
and made great spoile." Somewhat
kin to this Venner was the coniuror
who advertised that be would jump into
aquart bottle at the Haymarket Thea
tor on January is, 174o. The tbeater
was crammed with spectators, while
great crowds, unable to gain admit

Juror, however, did not appear, but got
clear away with the receipts. and hi,
dupes took their revenge in the usual
way By violent attack upon the thea

Walter Bessnt has lengthy paper in

The following Is an illustration OF the

own thoughts being also occupied with
it. A coincidence which can be ex-
planned by natural causes is a sham
or bogus coincidence. And since there
are condolences so many and so various
that one might go on like brook for
ever rippling about them, | will end
with the coincidence oracular. OF these,
three occur TO me.
There was once swain in love; he
was disconsolate swain, one of those
who whistle reed of melancholy on the
mountain side. The reason of his sad
ness was not that he had been dismissed
by that lady, but be feared to be dis
missed by the lady'S papa. The ex-
iguity Of the outcome. in fact, could not
be denied. This sorrowful shepherd
wandered forth in the unsympathetic
London streets, expecting nothing
but flinty-hearted coldness. Sudden
ly he raised his dropping eyes. He
saw over a shop-front, written plainly
in letters a foot long: Clifford and Mar
riage"-the lady's name was Clifford.
He started; he read the words again: he
accepted the omen; he walked briskly
home and wrote n letter with jocund
heart, and he has now been married for
fifteen years. | ought to know, because

JeFFsRsoN's oRANDCHILo
Iiving In Humble circumstances and Re
fused Pension.


In Georgetown, ID. C., in humble
cottage which rents for twenty dollars a
month. lives the only surviving grand
child Of Thomas jefferson, says the New
York Sun. Her name is Mrs. Septimia
Randolph Meikleham, widow of David
S. Meikleham, long since dead. She is
in her seventy-sixth year, a cultured,
amiable, venerable old lady, with two
daughters and one son in her house
hold. A luxuriant growth @. curly,
silvery-white hair surrounds her face,
which bears striking resemblance TO
that of her illusUrious grandfather
Her descent from him is direct and
clear. Born January 3, 1914, under her
grandtather's roof at Monticello, Va,
she is the daughter OF jefferson 5 favor
lie child and housekeeper, Martha, who
married Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr.,
afterward Governor OF Virginia, by
whom she bore twelve children, all OF
whom are dead except the eleventh
child and seventh daughter, the present
Mrs. Meikleham, the only living repre-
sentative of Jefferson of two removes
since her sister, Virginia Jefferson Ran
dolph Trist, died in 1882. Mrs. Meikle-
ham is infirm by reason of advanced age.
Her son, man of artistic temperament,
now in middle life, earns scarcely
enough for self-support. OF her two
daughters, both of whom are middle
aged, the younger, Miss Esther A.
Meikleham, born while her parents
were sojourning in Scotland, is en-
ployed in the Patent Office as a clerk at
a salary OF $1,000 a year, while the other
has charge of the housekeeping. Re-
pested attempts by influential legis-
lators TO secure for Mrs. Mei1leham a
moderate pension have resulted only in
failure. In the Forty-seventh and
Forty-eighth Congresses Representative
w. K. Robinson, of New York, intro
duced a bill TO pay her $1,000 a year,
subsequently amended to $500. Con-
gress, however, refused to pass the
measure on the ground that its enact
ment would set a dangerous precedent
for other claims less meritorious for
civil pensions.
