4 cOMEDY OF ERRORS.

On the evening of April 3, 1889, MIR. Law
renee Barrett was playing Othello to the lago
of Mr.. Edwin Booth at the Lyceum Theatre
in Rochester. 1t was a memorable occasion,
and the beauty and chivalry of that prosperous
and interesting city were assembled in great
force and form. Observant persons had re-
marked from the rise of the first curtain that
the performance was proceeding under some
slight embarrassment and sOhctude upon the
stage, but no one was prepared for any startling
occurrence not included in the programme The
second act had ended and the audience was
waiting for the third to begin when sudden
~ Mr.. Barrett appeared alone before the foot
lights With an emotion which did his heart
great credit he announced to the mute and
anxious throng that Mr. Booth had been strick-
en- with paralysis, and that in all human prob
ability the world had " seen for the last time
the greatest actor who speaks the English ian
grage" 1t was scene of deep solemnity
which those VINO were present will never for
get. moment later the telegraph had told
the tragedy to every corner OF the land, and
the next days journals carried mourning into
unnumbered households. The tribute of ad-
miration and of grief which followed did honor
tn those who paid and to him who received it..
We are now able to recall this exciting episode
without sorrow or repining, for forty-eight
hours after his prostration Mr.. Booth had re-
covered from the effects of over-indulgenoe in
strong cigars, declared emphatically that he
had never had paralytic stroke, and has been
enacting ever since with undiminished power
| and beauty the great roles with which his name
| must he forever identified in the annals of the
| English-speaking stage.
| On the morning of November /, 1890, there
appeared in Plattsburg Democratic news
paper disingenuOusly named "The Repub-
| lican." 1t was memorable issue, and the less
| desirable citizens of that cheerful and animated
| village assembled in grocery and sample
| room to peruse it. Observant readers remarked
| from the first moment of it's unfolding that its
contents seemed to be just about the same as
ever, and no one was prepared for any startling
announcement, unusual in its columns. Several
pages had been traversed, and the audience was
waiting for the next, when suddenly Smith NJ
| Weed appeared over his own signature III
| letter to the editor. With total lack OF emo
ton which did him great injustice he announced
| to an astonished Commonwealth that David b
Hill had been stricken with mOdesty. and thai
in all human probability the Empire Stat'
would never see upon the Senatorial stage Tho
greatest boss who speaks the Language OF De
mocracy. 1t was scene of deep astonisbment
which some OF those Immediately concerned
are not likely to forget in a hurry. few hours
later the telegraph had told the tale in every
newspaper Office in the land, and the mex
days journals lost no time in making it public

credit to those who paid it, though not paFtic

appeal he was held for the action Of the Superior
Court. 1t is the first case Of the kind that has
occurred in Massachusetts,. and will be followed

collision on the part Of an election officer The

Looking backward is frequently wise thing
to do though not in Mr.. Edward Bellamys sense.
A glance back at the census Of $40 will show that
complaints almost exact duplicates Of those so
loudly made this year abounded then. New-YorlS
asked for accommodating the precaution, how
ever to present evidence in support Of the appca-
tion-and when it was finally granted, instead of
the increase Of 10000 which was hoped for.
only about 5000 was added to the population,
and part of that was, of course, due to natural
increase and the fact that the second count was
made several months later than the first. Clamor
about the inaccuncy OF the census does not count
for much with those who remember how history
repeats itself in this particular.

Broadway begins to show the effect of home

girl is again feature. She is very slim, very
severe and very correct in her attire. She steps
in an alert manner-she has business in her eye,
and although she is not properly seen in that thor
oughfa1e in the afternoon, yet absence for some
time has necessarily caused an unusual amount of
business to be looked after. The sights on Broad
way are always of interest, and the observer for
gets that he she is also observed along with the
passing throng. The other day your correspond
ent walked for three blocks behind a couple who
seemed to be the observed of such smiling pro-
cesson of observers that 1t is safe to conjecture
the sight was an unusual one on Broadway. The
woman was young, haired land green gnghamed
Happy and trusting was the look she turned upon
hereompanion. He was stalwart and manly, and
the cut of his neat gray suit would hardly indicate
that he came from the same section to which be-
longed the green bingham, but he believed in the
green bingham evidently and was in no way
ashamed of the verdant looking wearer thereof,
for in his arms he bore with proud fondness and
tenderness a large bundle-lace and dimty and
embroidered flannel, and such ocean of it-and on
his arm rested the head of what was Enthusiastically
the firstborn-a lace cap and tiny pink face
which he regarded frequently with mingled solicit
tude and paternal love- True, baby on Broad
way-how family expressed, to say all the world
wondered more yet, man with the courage to
carry baby on Broadway. The policeman who
helped them over the crossing with their pink and
white burden, forgot his business for moment
and stared. Men looked and grnned; girls
nudged each other and gggled; not person but

full of scoffers, and to an unobserved woman who
followed quietly, they all seemed congregated on

nerve that was delightful to witness, and the effect

can give any of the lightweight
stars whirl that will make
them realize that they have ''been
itf it," Dick Moore tackled him
at the Olympic last night. Standing
room was at premium and places upon
the stage were in big demand. The
fight was to be six rounds, big gloves.
The big gloves were there, but the six
rounds fell short by two and about
half. AS the youngsters skipped to the
center for the customary handShake, it
could be easily seen that the Pearl was
in the best shape. Dick was fat, and
before the end of the first round was
putting like steamer. The fight was
short, but it was lively while it lasted.
The first round was principally con-
sumed in sparring for an opening, with
the Pearl on the aggressive and Dick
skating about to avoid his dusky Oppo-
nent. Moore led with his left, but was
cleverly stopped. There were several
light exchanges, the round closing with
Dick having trif1e the best of it. The
two went at it hammer and tOngS in the
second round. Dicks right eye showed
signs of putting, the Pearl going prin-
cipally for the mark, however. Moore
made some very clever ducks in his eff
forts to get away from the pursuing
IA.
but were separated by the referee. 1t
was evident in the third round
that the Pearl was after Moore to knock
him out, in accordance with the tip that
had gone forth during the day. The 4
white skipped about the stage, avoid
ing a number of vicious punches and
giving several hot ones, which didn't 4
seem to affect the black whatever. They
clinched and were separated, only to
rush to another part of the stage and
elinch again. The Pearl forced Moore q
into the latter's corner, hostilities ceas-
ing after the breakaWay. A shout went
up as the black went down in the fourth
and last round. He got up and
was biff, bang, clinch, and re-
peat. In hot exchange and clinch,
Moore slipped upon the stage, sitting
position. There was howl from sec
ondS and crowd, during which time was
called and unheard, Dick remaining on
the floor The curtain went down, and
the match was given to the Pearl.
Moore was not knocked out. but was
so blown that it is doubtful if he could
have remained during two more rounds.
Denny Kilen and Patsy Conway were
seconds for Moore, and Ed r. Bowles
and Beverly KisSel acted for the Black
Pearl. Jimmy Griffin and Barney
Smith were timekeepers, acting for the
Pearl and Moore respectively. Jimmy
Manning was referee.
Moore claimed after the fight that the
Pearl butted him. In the opinion of
several the Pearl poked his knee in
Moore's stomach in the final clinch.
Moore was greatly winded, while the
Pearl was as fresh and frlSky as a kit
ten.
There are many who would like to see
match between Denny Killen and the
Black Pearl. As the latter is ready and
anxious, as he declares, to Ego gin
ennybody-don't keer who" an effort
will be made to match them. Killen
declared last evening that ''if there is
anything in it | would make CO."
There is an unknown" who will bob
up in the course of few days between
whom and the Pearl there will probably
be match.
