Carrie Turner had a row with the Niobe man
agement last week, and Eleanor Carey was en-
gagged to take her place.
The stage hands of five theaters in New York
recently struck for an advance OF wages. They
receive 81 per night and $3.50 for matinees.
Several New York papers are still trying to
give boom to Bill Nye's play. The truth is
that it is a melancholy and CHASTITY failure.
The training school which is designed to
feed the tabernacle choir with new material, is
making fine Roadway under Mr.. Stephens di-
rection.
1.-THE Lost Paradise is positive success at
Proctor's theatre. Mr.. Frohman's company
seems to have duplicated its Men and Women
triumph.
"Dr. Bill" with its kangaroo dance, Grismer
and Davies in their repertoire, and "The
Devils Auction" are attractions that come in
the near future.
The Choral Society will begin work on 1.-THE
Light OF Asia" tomorrow night. 1t is by
Americas foremost composer, Dudley Buck,
and Mr.. Stephens thinks it magnificent.

Fanny Davenport played in Los Angeles week
before last to the largest share that was proba-
bly, ever given TO an American actress or star for
one weeks work. She was handed over ST. 100
| for her part of seven performances. This
would give her a net profit of 81 800 for the
weeks work, and Los Angeles is usually con-
| sidered very poor theatrical town.
The Lyceum company has produced Lady
| Bountiful'' and made a fair, but not striking
success. The journal says, speaking of the
| play: There is no question of doubt that Miss
| Shannon takes the honors away from Miss Cay
van. The latter has one of the worst parts ever
given to a leading lady. Her whole role con-
sists of something like 300 words, 200 of which
are varying intonations of the one exclamation
"Donaldl" 1t is quite a study to watch Miss
Cayvan assume 200 tones of voice.

his woes and ended by declaring that he
did not know what to do.
You would make success at the law,
Abe. Why don't you study and get ad"
mitted to the bara" said Judge Hewitt.
81 cannot support myself and buy law
books, Judge" Lincoln replied.
Turning to Colonel Baker, Judge Hewitt
said: 'You have no objections, colonel, to
A6e's using cur library, have you!"
Colonel Baker was perfectly willing.
Lincoln thought he could support him
self while reading law by teaching night
school. and he decided to begin the study,
for the law had been his ambition.
He did teach at night and studied during
the day in Hewitt 81 Bakers Office After
he was admitted he rode the circuits with
these lawyers
II have heard my father say that Lincoln
used to provoke them all by telling stories
and singing songs at night when the rest of
them wanted to go to sleep. Colonel Baker
was the only one who could stop him. The
colonel would rip out some vigorous oath,
and Lincoln would laugh and shut up and
go to sleep"
Long before the war Judge Hewitt re-
moved TO NatcheZ, where he became prom
tnent in his profession. He lost sight of
Lincoln. When Quitman was first sent to
Congress from Mississippi, Judge Hewitt
gave I'LL l6LL6rS VI INTRODUCTION To SOIue
members he knew. He did not know that
Abraham Lincoln was in the House, and
was surprised to receive letter from him
inquiring why he had not given Quitman a
letter to him. "It you have forgotten the
old days in Illinois, have not" Lincoln
wrote
When the Yankees took Natchez they
turned Judge Hewitt and his daughters
out of their beautiful home, and would not
allow them single thing except the
clothes they had on. The Hewitt's were
absolutely without shelter and personal
effects, except as their friends assisted
them. Adolph Meyer, Natchez merchant,
was in Washington just about that time,
and he met President Lincoln, who asked
him if he knew Judge Hewitt. Meyer
said he did, and Mr.. Lincoln told him that
when be went back home he wished him to
tell Judge Hewitt that if he wanted any
protection to telegraph him, and ne should
have it If all the armies in the United
were required to give it. Judge Hewitt
would rot ask Lincoln for any favor, and
at the end of the war, when he recovered
his home, it was almost a wreck. Not a
single book of his library, which had been
the largest and finest private one in the
state, was left-AtLGntG Constitution.

Students' Society.

A diversified and interesting programme
was presented at the Students society on
Friday night. The society rendered kim
ball, " and the opening prayer was offered
by Edwin Dibble. Chow to Preserve
Health' was discussed by DR.. G. T. Will
cox. Hereditary diseases, ventilation, food
and water receiving thorough and efficient
treatment at his hands. Miss Maud Knowl-
ton sang "Marguerette" prettily, and a
recitation in farmyard vernacular by Or
lando Barrus was given with excellent
effect. Miss Lewis followed with an organ
solo. DR.. Talmage was now invited to
make a few remarks. The doctor re-
sponded by referring to the scheme now in
contemplation for signalling to distant
planets and of the phenomena of earth
quakes. The choir sang a closing hymn
and prayer was offered by Instructor

WHEN LINCOLN STUDIED LAW
Some of the Stories Of the. Youth Of the War
President.


A son of the man who enabled Abraham
Lincoln to read law, and then gave him the
advice which started him on his public ca
reer, was giving some interesting reminis-
cences recently at the Kimball The mar
rator was Mr.. Joe Hewitt, of Galveston.
Mr.. Hewitt is native of Natchez, and was
a gallant, daring young soldier. His father,
Judge Hewitt, was a native of Kentucky
and removed to Illinois when young
man. He formed law partnership
with Col. Baker, who had been
through the Mexican war, and who was
killed at the head of his regiment by
Texas regiment in the fight at Balls
Bluff. Hewitt and Baker were prominent
lawyers. Young Lincoln was running q
small grocery store in the same town or
near by. He had picked up knowledge
of surveying, and would go off for week
or a month with his compass and chain
On these trips he would leave his store in
the hands of clerk. Once he was gone
four weeks. When he returned he found
the store closed. His clerk Lad sold out
and skipped with the funds. Lincoln was
badly broken up. In his distress he went
to Judge Hewitt for advice. Lincoln told

A LIVELY RUNAWAY
Godfreid Lienhard Thrown from Cart and
Injured.

Yesterday morning Godfreid Lienhard,
who is employed as night watchman at
Teasdel's store found horse attached to
cart tied up in front of his residence at the
corner of a street and Prospect avenue
AS no one appeared to claim the animal for
several hours, Mr.. Lienhard concluded to
take the animal down to the city hall. As he
passed through the Eagle gate the horse be-
came frightened at d repair car and started
to run. The driver tried to control the
animal but failed, and when near the thea
tire the outfit collided with big van and
Mr.. Lienhard was thrown violently to the
ground. He was picked up insensible and
was carried to the city hall. Restora-
tives were applied and he soon recovered
and fortunately was not seriously hurt. The
owner of the horse and cart has not yet
been found.

Poor BILLY" Florence was laid away to
rest after the newspapers had aroused a
most unfortunate and unseemly squabble
over the question whether he had re-
nounced Masonry to his father confessor
before he died, and whether, if he hadn't,
he could be buried in consecrated ground.
Whatever was the case, he was buried
with all the rites of the Catholic church.

apt reply. This man knew what he was

Bowes, who has one Of the haudsomsst
opera houses in the whole western country,
meets the problem of bad business man
fully, and tells the Ogden public frankly
and candidly that they must support their
theatre or see it closed up. He meets
them half way by announcing reduction
in the price of seats, as follows: Par
quet and the first three rows of parquet
circle, 81; balance of parquet circle, IS
cents; first five rows of balcony back to
entrance, 10 cents; balance of bal
cony, so cents; gallery, % cents"
Occasionally, Mr.. Bowes states, 1t may
be necessary TO charge $3.50, when some
super excellent attraction comes along, but
the public may rest assured that this will
be only when the attraction is worth the
money. Snide shows he very properly
proposes to bar out altogether. In the
course OF two column article he gives the
figures that several big attractions have
played to, which show that he is justified
IN taking some extraordinary steps. He
says:
1--WE wish to state to the citizens of Og-
den that during the past year this city has
gained the rather unenyisble reputation of
being one of the poorest show towns on the
coast and it should be matter or personal
pride to every citizen to assist in trying to
change this state of affairs. For instance,
Efie Elsler, who, as everybody knows, is
one Of the most popular and clever little
actresses of the American stage, played in
Ogden two nights to q little over $1U0 per
night
Fanny Davenport, who perhaps is one
of the greatest living opponents of
the drama, played in Ogden two
nights to a little over $500 per
night Her manager stated that
this was the smallest amount that they had
opened to dnring the entire season. In
Salt Lake city her five performances
brought her $1,000 We simply cite these
instances to show in about what ratio
Ogden stands, thestrioally speaking.
Meritorious companies that have played
in Ogden, with possibly one exception,
shenandoah" have had a similar expe-
rience, and naturally after leaving the
town they do not speak very kindly of the
city. While the management realizes that
matters in general are very quiet and
money very scarce, and while they also
realize that they have no more reason for
complaint than any other business firm in
the city, this fact forces itself upon them
that the existing state of affairs presents
but one solution: Either the patronage
must be encouraged and increased or it
will be cheaper for them to close up the
house than to keep it open at a loss.

of her own to live comfortably upon during

the remainder of herlife.
1t is well known that "BilIy' did not
leave an excessive amount. He was high
liver, good fellow with his friends, and
then, too, there was long interregnum
when he made next to nothing. That was
after the lengthy success Of 1.-The Mighty
Dollar" and before he hit upon the thought
Of joining jefferson.
His salary with jefferson was variously
stated to be 81 600, 81 200 and $1,000 per
week. 1t was really little less than 81, 600,
aud of that amount he contributed one
third to his wife's support, for she lived in
very good style in London and denied her
self nothing. 1t is, therefore, not supposed
that Florence left more than $40, 600 or $50,
600 behind him, If that.
But Mrs. Florence is well off She re-
ceived during ali the years she was with
her husband an ample salary, which she
kept, as there was no necessity whatever
OF her spending any money. In busin ess
affairs, Florence treated her as a business
woman; outside of that he supported her as
any man would want to support his wife,
80 that it is estimated by her friends that
she must be possessed of $40, 600 or $4,000.
Nor does she intend leaving the stage
There are many parts that she can perform
better than any other actress we have, and
there would be no trouble for her to obtain
positions at most generous salary.
While the present week, at Wonderland,
just opened Thursday, November 20, has
been profitable one to the management
and alike enjoyable to the regular guests
and patrons of the house, it is only fair to
say that the coming show billed for De-
cember will supass anything of recent
date at this house of innocent entertain
ment for variety and strength of attrac-
tions. IL the curio hall John Ward, the
king OF snake charmers, and Senior Perrin,
the owner of the rarest and best collection
of curiosities and antiquities, will hold
sway. In the Btou theatre Madame
Reynolds, the iron-jawed wonder, will
display her remarkable accomplishments :;
while in the grand theatorium such stars
as Ransome, the musical moke; George
Howard, the peerless negro delineator !;
Charles Van, the champion banioist; Rus
sell and Odell, acrobats, and the favorite
Walters, Low and Della, in their hit en-
titled, "Among the Lilacs." 1t is big 80
cent show-all for 10 cents.

Rev. C. L. Morgan. pastor of the First
Congregational church of Moline. who
recently declined call to Dubuque has
received a call to the Church of the Re.
deemer in Chicago. The call was extend.
ed some time ago, but has been kept
quiet until it leaked o1t through one of
the church papers. Mr.. Morgan has not
yet decided whether or not he will accept
the call, though he has been strongly
u .ged to do so by some of the pastors of
other Chicago churches. The Church of
the Redeemer is located about a half
nile north of Lincoln park aud is a com
paratively new church, having been or,
ganized only about five years. 1t mum.
bers about 100 members and has a very
large Sunday school. 1t is thought to
afford field of great promise, though to
accept the call would, Mr.. Morgan saws.
be at present personal sacrifice. Mr.
Morgan preached there Sunday.
