A BOOTY cassie,

An incident Of Booths final week on the
stage was an impersonation of drunken
man by drunken man. No; it was
not Booth himself. The tales of his
alcoholic indulgence are positively denied by
his closest friends, and there is no reason to
believe that his disability arises from other
than general physical break down. The actor
who Was bibulous In mimicry and in fact at the
same time played Michael Cassie in '.Othello,"
and on this occasion Cassie began to be booty
much sooner than Shakespeare intended.
There was genuine realism when it came to the
bacchanalian episode. and no actor of the part
ever represented Otteilo's fuddled lieutenant
with greater sincerity But the trouble was
that the Cassie Of this representation did not
recover his sobriety ut the right time, and the
famous diatribe against the poison that ''men
put into their mouths to steal away their
ner Of Toodles, the actor sitting in chair. He
was dismissed from the company Immediately
after his exit.

An exploit in stage irregularity was made
the other evening by Wilton Lackaye. He
sticks close to the metropolis and will take
brief jobs in connection with the trial of dubi-
Gus plays here rather than Ego on the road;"
and, as he gets good prices for these temporary
engagements, perhaps his income the winter
through is as large as it would be at regular but
lower wages. Lackaye has thus played parts in
something like twenty dramas during the present
season. He always seems to be letter perfect in
his roles, but that is result of trick and device
rather than of quick study. He is remarkably
facile In covering up lapses Of memory by inter-
polated words of his own-a practice not easily
forgiven by strict stage managers, but so deftly
INDUCED in by this chap as to pass, usually,
without punishment But ON the occasion here
| referred to he was hired to appear in new
stage version of q novel which had been already
dramatized. Lackaye had played the corre-

save bother, he memorized only the cues-that
is, the several final words of each speech in his
| own part, SO that his companion in the dialogue
termined 70 speak the language of the former
dramatization, SO far a. It related to his own

scheme might have been the confusion of ths

ABSURD oRNAMEyTArIoN,

There are many absurd things perpetrated in
the name OF ornament, and saw the other day
really funny instance of this. In a street car
was a man with handbag. presumably trav-
eler, and also as a part of his accouterments
was cane. at least don't think could be
mistaken in the slim form with crook handle.
Its glories, however, of whatever nature, were
preserved from the public gaze by a black
satin covering, fitting over the handle in a
most creditable manner, and there tied by q
bow Of yellow ribbon. / could not wonder at
the article itself, for some women delight in
just such CONNECTIONS, but did marvel that a
man could be found who was willing to bear it
about!

Preliminary Trial,

GALLATIN, Tenn, Nov. 27.-Ths
examining trial of James Keal and
Ernest McNichols, charged with at
tempted murder is in progress today.
Thier victim, man named Griffin
was beaten Oh the 18th in such a man
ner that ne cannot recover, his skull
being crushed to pieces, exposing his
brains. His case is an interesting
one 10 medical science. He is bereft
entirely of reason, or of the pow r of
speech and hearing yet he is ply
sically strong. and walks around the
house every day. There is how ever,
no chance for his recovery. Keal
and McNichols are boys hardly out of
their teens, and look the opposite
of murderers. In an interview they
stated they were farmers in Wilson
county, and had never seen or heard
of Griffin, but there are many who
believe them to be guilty.

A Countess as Cook.

New YORK, Nov. 27.-The Countess
Marie Won Stumpf is said to cook at
the Golden Grule restaurant on Broad
way. In this restaurant the kitchen
is separated from tho cafe by open
arches; through these open arches
may be seen any day the Countess
Maria Won Stumpf In the discharge of
her duties, as she dramatically stabs
raw potato with two. tined kitchen
fork and proceeds 10 slice Ii up, or
peel 1t, as the case may be.
Little have the patrons of the place
dreamed the fair haired young
woman was real, live countess, but
such she Is. Marie became a countess
by marrying Count Louis Won
Stumpf. Now che is suing for a di-
vorce, and all the facts are out. What
Msrie's life might have been had not
Count Won Stumpf come to this
country about ten years ago, nobody
can guess. She might still nave been
an actress at the Thalia theatre.
While quite a young man. hardly
more than q boy, i'm fact, Stumpf be-
came enamored of an actress in
Germany. She had another lover,
and Count Stumpf killed him In duel.
Then he fed to America. His engag-
ing presence and manners secured
him entrance to good society here, and
he soon became member of the Arion,
Leiderkranz and other German clubs.
Stumpf was great frequenter of
the Thalia theatre, and there
he met Marie Stout, all actress
in the Thalia Theatre company,
He married her and started a money
brokers shop on Canal street. He
did not succeed, however, and so
Marie hired out as cook. Stumpf
practically deserted her several
months ago. Marie then brought suit
for divorce in the Common Pleas
court, and before another week has
gone by the Coun tess Marie Won
Stumpf expects to be plain Marie
Stout again.

Avenged an Unknown.

MANSFIELD, LA, Nov. 27-Near-
ly year ago, q white man whose
identity was unknown, and is UNI
known TO this day, was found muir
dered by the roadside, his head hav-
ing been crushed, probably with .
stone. Who his murderers were was
also unknown for sometime, until
two negroes, Frank Garrett and Gus
Simmons, were discovered to be the
owner of pair of tights, which were
afterward Unidentified as belonging
to the murdered man, by parties who
had seen them in his possession.
The men were arrested and tried for
the strangers murder, and on testi-
mony that was developed in
the trial last August, they were
proved conclusively to have been the
murders. The dead man was suppos-
ed to have been an actor. The object
of the murder was robbery. Today
the murders paid the pennal'y OF
their crime by hanging, which took
place in the parish Jail.

New YORK, Nov. 27.-Letters from
Monrovia, Liberia, says several
native tribes in the north OF
Grand Cape Mount have rebelled
and placed themselves under British
protection at Sierra Leone. 1t is
thought they have been melted by
the English, and troops will most
probably be sent against the rebels.
Grave troubles may arise, as the
English may protect the unruly
savages.
