New YoRK, April 5-When Edwin
Booth, at the close of the performance
in the Brooklyn Academy OF Music yes
terday afternoon, came before the cur
tain in response to applause that would
not be silenced until he had spoken, he
said: ~ hope that this is not the last
time that l shall appear before you.
Next season shall pay some attention
to my heath, and l think that shall
return to you strengthened"
It undoubtedly was his last appear
ance for the season, and recent events
have caused very general belief in a
rumor that he was TO retire from the
stage forever. The remark, therefore,
was received with especial applause. 1t
was noticeable yesterday that Booth on
the stage was a unique figure. He
seemed lonlisr, sadder, more shut up in
himself than ever before.

Benefits of Reciprocity.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 5.-F. A. De
Marquiex, a Mexican glass buyer, who
has been at this Duquesne for the last
week, went to New York last evening.
While here Mr.. Marquiez bought six
carloads Of glass, principally tableware,
to be shipped to Mexico. "You Amer.
cans must not forget" he said, that the
better class OF Mexicans are q highly
civilized people, like citizens Of other
nations. I am q South American, but I
have lived in Mexico for years and am
now thoroughly Mexican in my ideas.
/ am sorry that the two countries could
not como to an amicable agreement about
reciprocal trade relations. l must say
frankly that outside Of the Government
officials the feeling in Mexico ia
not any too friendly to the United
States; not on account Of any trouble in
the past, though some hatred may be
lurking in their breasts as resnlt of the
war, but mainly because the Americans
are severe and independent in trading.
They make no effort to please our peo.
pie, and we prefer, Uf Course, to do bust.
ness with the English, French and Ger.
mans, who are patient and willing to
trust us. wish to correct an erroneous
impression that it Is dangerous to travel
in Mexico. This is not true. Ameri.
cans are as well protected there as in
their own country. The lower classes
like the poems and Indians are ignorant
and rather dangerous, but al strangers
have to do 10 to keep away from them.
The MexiCans are hot.tempered and they
are good fighters.
Sin Mexico the government makes It
q peint to see that men are well paid.
Nobody works in that country for less
than he Is worth. This is done for the
purpose Of taxation, which is based on
the yearly stipend. In this way the
government finds out what every clerk,
bookkeeper or other employe is paid. |
II the officials think the amount is not
in keeping with the position they put
up the wages peg or two, and the en-
ployer must pay 1t. Itwould certainly
be beneficial to the United States and |
Mexico If they could agree on trade re.
lations. Each country affords mutual
and natural markets, and there is no rea.
son why they should not reap the bene-
fits rather than permit the profits to be
gobbled by foreign nations"

OTTAWA, April 6.-Two important an.
nopucements confirm the previous state
ment that General Herbert, the new
Commander.in in. Chief of the Canadian
militia, brought special instructions
from the English war Office to speedily
strengthen the defenses OF Canada and
prepare for q necessity OF putting q large

Government, which has the force OF a
command, is to double the usual appro.
priation this year for drill, so that the
entire force Of AZ, 900 men can be thor.
oughly drilled in June. Never before
has the number OF men drilled exceeded
10000 men.
Secondly, General Herbert left to-day
for Halifax to confer with General Sir
John Ross, Commander OF the Royal
troops in Canada, with respect to the
defenses OF the Atlantic coast, partiCu-
larly at Halifax, where new fort hes
been constructed. One S2.ton gun has

A sp,rituallst Widow and Her Ghostly
Husband Commune Together.
WICHITA, KAN, April 5.-There died
yesterday in the hospital a baby, Of
whom the mother, Mrs. Allen @. Fields,
relates a curious story. Mrs. Fields is
almost to craziness. She
stated that she had a communication
from her departed husband telling her
to marry Harry Windsor, agent for the
Cooper Loan Company, OF Philadelphia,
who at the time was suing her Tor
money WHICH she owed his employers.
She Immediately began writing series
OF letters TO Windsor, telling him what
she had been commanded to do and
bidding him to come and be married to
her. He made no replies 10 the notes,
but messages from the spirits informed
her that he had consented and would
call on her, naming the time. She ar
rayed herselfin white silk, aud for three
days stayed out on the porch Of her resi-
dence to await the coming Of the groom.
E4ch night she would repair to the
church, and on her return say that the
ceremony had been partly performed.
Three weeks ago she was delivered Of q
child, and In explanation Of the occur
renee she says that last summer q hack
driver brought her aletter from Wind.
sor, who Is now In Che spirit land, and
was now her spirit husband, directing
her TO accompany the bearer to
the hotel, and there to await
the coming Of Windsor. She was
shown to a room and was told 10 write q
note 10 her spirit husband. She did so,
and written reply within a few minutes
alterVard futtered down the chimney
into her rSom. Il conveyed the In.
formation that her RhoBtly huSbsnd
would appear to her at midnight and
that she must not speak to him except
by signs, as on the first sound Of human
voice he would disappear. The ghost

Sensational Sequel to a Romantic Marriage
mt Cnlumbus

SeusntIonnl sequel 10 n homhntlc marriage

CoLuMpus, o., April 5.-0a the 14!h ol
last month E. j.. Sherman aud Miss
Minta stouffsr were quietly married by
Rev. Mr.. Pcstle, Of the North Columbus
NJ. E. Church. Sherman is a miller,
and the marriage at the time was consid-
cred somewhat romantic one, for the
reason that a former employe OF Sher.
man was engaged to be married to Miss
S.ouffer, but upon his death Sherman
began to pay her attention, with the re-
suit as stated. In addition to its roman
tic features the marriage bids lair to de-
yelop some sensational ones. About two
weeks before Miss Stoufef's marriage to
Mr.. Sherman she gave birth to twins at
the home Of her parents, at Elmwood, q
small place on the Columbus & Toledo
road, eight miles north OF this city.
A number Of persons, relatives OF the
girls family, were there when the chill
dren were born, and they were pro-
nounced healthy pair. Upon her mar
riBge to Sherman Miss Stoutfer left
bone, leaving the twins with her mother
or some other member OF the family.
Since then both children have mystefi-
ously disappeared, and whether they
are living now is not known. To fathom
the mystery Of the infants disappear
ance the case was reported to the Pros
ecuting Attorney, who laid 1t before the
special grand jury, which met two
weeks ago, bpt that body, for lack Of
time, did not investigate 1t, and the
case goes over to the next Jury. Miss
Stoutfer former lover was Riley Bowser,
who was found drowned in the Glen.
