WILLIAM pINCKNEY, FIFTH BISHOP
OF MARYLAND. A review by the
Rev Hall Harrison. $. r. D., of DR..
Huuon's recent biography Of the
Bishop. Baltimore: Cushings S CO.
1891. For sale by BrentnuD.
Tho late MIR. Curcorau, who was close
and very warm personal friend of Bishop
pHCknCy, made provision In his will to
pay for the cost Of publishinga biography
pl the Bishop by DR.. Orlando Hutton.
The book was accordingly published, and
the executors Of Mr.. CorcOran's viii be
gan the free distribution Of the interesting
and excellent volume among the friends
of the Bishop. But 10 seems that ont at
Hyattsvillc the people have erected q
chapel which is called a memorial tp
Bishop PinCkney, and those having that
building in charge induced the executors
90 give them the books and they charged
- apiece for them and put the money
into the church building fund. 10
this arrangement the Rev. DR.. Harrison
most vigorously protested, and in order tp
repair the wrong which he considered
done in putting the book out of the reach
of SO many friends aud admirers Of
Bishop Pinckney, as far as possible, he
wrote the little book which is now on Our
table DR.. pinckucy was called to the

minister of the gospel ever had as many
warm personal friends and admirers In
this city as DR.. PinCkney. This little re-
view OF his life, brief as it is, will there
fore be heartily welcomed II presents
the life and character of the late Bishop

THE CRITIC ABROAD.

Henry Avcling, the actor who commit
ted suicide in New York recently, was we'll
known i'm certain circle of gay Bo-
hemians here. The last time he played
in Washington was with the "Sho" Com
pany. One night after the show these
choice spirits rendered Aveling midnight
symposium, during which every man was
compelled to tell a story. The wit and
humor flashed and sparkled freely as did
the generous champagne which inspired
thespeakers to imprOvisatiOns that merrily
sped the moments of the rCyelry i'm the
young hours Of the morn.
When Aveling's time came, he sald in
light, airy fashion; "Boys, this may be
the last time | shall clink glasses with
You until we meet on the black sands Of
PlutOnian shores, so hear me with pa
tiCnce, sweet gentlemen, on this my
positively farewell performance" Then
in pathetic manner Aveling recited: IF
] should die tonight his fine deep
resonant voice tremblcd and quiyered
with pathos.
As he proceeded with the touching lines
the smiles faded from the faces of his
listeners, who had expected burlesuue
on the poem. Cigar and champagne were
neglected, every man present feeling the
magnetic influence of the actors recital.
When he finished a great many gentle
men present were affected with tits of
coughing and clearing of throats. Indeed,
the majority of them seemed inclined to
go home, but Aveling, in gay, devil
may-care style, turned the stream of sOr-
row by singing wicked French song
that drove dull care away. Now that he
has passed away from The worlds stage
the incidents of that night come back
iorcibly to those who were with him ON
the occasion.

He was wild and woolly, and to hear
him talk one would have thought him to
be the original bad man from Bitter
Creek and very near the head waters
thereof. He had characteristically
tough walk on him that would have made
the fortune of a low comedian. His Ian
guage was plentifully puuctuated with
Says" and Sees" and in fact he didn't
speak half dozen words without bring
ing in one or the other Of the expressions.
The other was little man, and as the
big tough pushed against him two or
three times it became apparent that he
was endeavoring to start fuss. Finally
he succeeded. AS the smaller man was
raising a cocktail to his lips the tough
citizen knocked against him causing him
to spill the liquor over his clothes. Then
the circus commenced. A right handler
caught the tough on the chin, causing
him to sagger, and swinging upper cut
landed the bad man in a heap in the
corner. Then the little man calmly
drank the remainder of the cocktail
wiped his mustache and sauntered out.

realized what had happened. When he
did Moses wouldn't have been in it with

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 2l.--Yesterday had
little semblance to Sunday. All day the
st reefs were crowded with prairie schoon-

gers, all jammed into shouting, strug-
Cling, hurrying mass. Hundreds of horses
we're sold on the streets, and the stores all
did rushing business. Hundreds ar
lived in wagons yesterday, and one train
brought fifteen carloads of people. Along
the line OF the reservation the scene is an
animated one. At the negro settlement of
Langston are 1900 negroes, all armed and
on the road. Scores of negro men, women.
and children were passed walking the fif-
teen miles To the line. All of these ne
groes are determined to have a claim or
eight.
Surveyors at Work.
At Tohee 5000 people are encamped and
the road to the Kickapoo reservation is
continual procession for many miles.
kirwin Murray, the Iowa interpreter,
states that in the reservation the soldiers
are driving out hundreds of sooners. At
the county seats the surveyors are at
work, but cannot finish the survey before
Frioay. Both county seats are miserably
located on rocky, rough ground, with no
water near, yet 10000 people will ride
recklessly over forty miles of country
to locate there. On every side of the
reservation the line is one continuous
camp and the number of people in wait
ing is fully $4,000.
