The New York News had this in
reference to Barrett's death:
| The news OF Lawrence Barrett's death
late last night came like clap of thun-
der from clear sky on the theatrical
world and the immediate friends of the
| dead tragedian. Edwin Booth, his
| friend and business associate, was noti-
| fed late last night at the Players club,
but it was not until ii O'Clock this
morning that he left the palatial home
of that organization in answer to q sum-
mons from Manager A. M. Palmer, who
desired to know what action would be
taken regarding the burial.
At the Windsor hotel, where the body
is lying, but little has been done, except
the sending OF telegram to Mrs. Mar
shal Williams, OF Boston, the youngest
daughter of the tragedian, and che was
reported to be hurrying to this city, ac-
companied by her husband. Neither OF
the other two daughters of the tragedian
can be present at the obsequies, as the
eldest, the Baroness Won Roeder, is at
her home in Stuttgart, Germany. and
the other, Mrs. Joseph Anderson, sister
in-law OF Mrs. Navarro MARY Anderson, +,
is residing in London. Gables, however,
have been sent notifying them of their
fathers death.
Mrs. Barrett was alone with her grief
and her dead up to an early hour this
morning. Letters and kilograms OF con-
dolence lay unopened, and mot until the
arrival of Joseph Levy, who had been
her husbands business manager for ten
years, did she recover sufficiently to
make any plans whatever for the re-
moval of the body. 1t was then decided
to send to A. Davidson, the sexton of the
church of the Heavenly Rest, at Forty
fifth street and Fifth avenue, to take
charge of the remains.
The body will remain here until Mon
day morning, when services will be held
at some church in this city, and then it
will be taken on to Boston for burial
there. Who the palibearers Will be has
not yet been settled, but it is more than
likely that the list will be headed by
Edwin Booth, while Managers A. M.
Palmer, Augustin Daily, Daniel Frohman
and Frank w. Sanger, as well as VIM. J.
Florence, Joseph jefferson, VIM. Win
ter, Richard Mansfield, Manager j. H.
McVicker, and one or two others may
be called upon.
The Broadway theater was closed this
afternoon and no performance will be
given there tonight. 1t is also quite
probable that Mr.. Booth will not fill out
next week, which was the last OF the en-
gagement at the Broadway theater, and
that house will therefore be closed tight
until Miss Fanny Davenport opens in
Cleopatra on Easter Monday.
The company was not to have closed
its season for several weeks yet, but the

today as to whether the dead actor
would have a Catholic burial or not.
It is known that when his death be-
and received the last sacraments of the
e. Sherman, son OF the late Gen. Sher-
man. This occurred yesterday between
and pm.
Father Sherman was a friend of the
dead actor, and though he has been
engaged for two weeks at the Jesuit
mission, at the Church of the Sacred
Heart OF Jesus, on West Fifty-first
street, the priest was kept informed as
to the illness of Mr.. Barrett and gave
him all the consultations of his religion.
The dead actor had many friends
among the Catholic clergy, and was
very liberal in his charities, which
were, however, always privately be-
slowed.
When the late lamented Rev. John
Joseph Riordan was commissioned by
Cardinal McCluskey to open mission
at Castle Garden for Irish immigrants.
Mr.. Barrett was among the first to send
Father Riordan check for a liberal
sum and letter wishing the priest
'God speed" in his good work.
