r,r.L, ATTACK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS oUs
BEFORE THE END.

l.,
BEFORE THE END.
rou,rence Barrett. the actor, died at l0:4E
- last evening His illness had been severe
1,r since last Wednesday, and hopes Of his re-
arsrv were entertained as late as yesterday fore.
I'm The cause of death was pneumonia com
'wooted with leucocythOemia. consultation OF
ffhrsicians was held threequarters of an hour be-
fa.. his death, and at that time Mrs Barrett was
EARNED that death was question of only a few
hours at most.
Mr. Barrett was suffering from a severe cold
., wednesday evening. when he went to the
p,.odvay Theatre, where he and Mr. Booth were
:. ,lav in "Richelieu." He was attacked with
s.vsr and chill while playing, and was
,osd to leave the stage. He went
:. the Windsor Hotel at once, and
". chambers. of No. 26 West Forty-seventh-
~ ras summoned. He found that Mr. Barrett's
..n,orature was 1903. A telegraphc message
VS. Immediately sent to Mrs. Barrett, who was
:, (Rosson, and the actors wife arrived in
Tnu.york the next morning. She has since
,esn in constant attendance upon her husband
m Chambers became alarmed about his patient
-, Thursday and consultation was held with
nv Henry F. Walker and with DR.. j. F. Oliver.
. Roston. who is the family physician. The
alarming symptoms were glandular swellings from
.bicb Mr. RaIrctt had previously suffered, being
,orced 10 leave the stage and submit to an opera
,ion The sick mans vitality was extremely low,but
bs musicians believed that if he had not been
oraeled with the old disease he could have
recovered from the pneumonia. rs up to yesterday
morning one lung only was affected.
Yesterday Mr. Barrett was able TO take some
punishment and stimulants. He had said him
sslf however that If he were ever at
lacked with pneumonia, the disease would
,roye fatal 10 him. consultation was held
a. 5 p. m, and it was then resolved that the
musicians should meet again at 10 p. IN.
L. was at this last consultation
that hope was abandoned. Mr.. Barrett was par
tally unconscious, but revived from his stupor
Of that hour His weakness overcame him almost
Immediately, however, and he remained uncon-
scious to the moment Of his death. There were
uresent at the bedside Mrs. Barrett, Dr. Chambers,
Theodore Bromley, manager for Booth q Barrett,
and trained nurse.
No arrangements had been made for the funeral
last night but it is likely that the burial will
be at Boston.
Mr. Booth was deeply affected when he learned
Of the death after midnight.

. SAVING on THE WORLDS FAIR BUILDINGS.

Chicago. March 2O.-Mr Burham, chief of con
structon. and the commission Of architects have
figured cut a plan by which about SiOOoOOo VIII be
saved in The Worlds Fair buildings. Those structures
planned to cost a. 100000. which are to 10 In Jackson
Park. will have all the appearance OF magnlnceht
palaces of marble granite and glass but they VIII be
but principally of wood and staff. stan Is the trVch
name for a comparatively inexpensive building material
consisting chiefly of u composition OF cement ana
gypsum. Mr. Burnhams plan Is to make imitation
marble columns marble slabs and granite walls out
Of wood and u coating Of stan. Tie original IDEA was
that steel iron brick and stone should be the MATERIALS
used but little figuring showed that the cost would
run millions beyond the resources OF the directory.
The Paris Exposition buildings were build largely OF
staff several of the main buildings In Jackson Fark
will be surrounded by lofty coonades The pillars
will look like granite and marble.

HUNT HIM DOWN.

Ho! good people of every town,
Here Is brother; hunt him down.
Roar at his heels like a raging flood
Stake your thirst with his hearts red blood;
For he was tempted-he sinned, he fell
From heights of heaven to depths of hell!
Fugtive-feeng the sanity town
Hunt him down! hunt him DOWN.
Ho! good people OF every town.
Sage and sinner and knave and clown,
Swell the ranks with their storm and strife
In the maddening race for human life!
Pause not ye for his gasp and groan-
Aim the arrow and hurl the stone
Past the village and through the town
Hunt him down! hunt him down!
Care not ye for the grief he feels;
Let the bloodhounds howl at his burning heels
Let the cold, sharp stones of the cruel street
Pierce the wounds in his bleeding feet;
Rurl your Kisses and block his way,
Till he stands at last like beast at bay!
Search the village and sack the town
Hunt him down! hunt him down!
Ho! good people of every town,
Let not mercy your justice drown:
TITS human game-'tis a soul in woe,
Whose white Redeemer died long agol
Scourge him-slay him! tits little loss;
sinner clngs to the crimson cross,
Asking not for your shining crown.
Dead in the darkness-hunted down!

Edison,s Electric Railway Motor.

Mr.. Edison has explained to the New
York Herald his belief that the locomotive
will be displaced on steam railways, and
that his electric motor will be used instead.
He said the economy would be large; he
would get one horse power out of from one
to two pounds of cheap coal. while the To-
connective only got the same one horse power
out of six pounds of dear coal. He intends
to demonstrate that there need be no such
thing as waiting for trains between cities
now considered a long distance apart. He
intends to run train, say OF two cars,
every twenty minutes
II cannot 60 into Details" said Mr.. Edi-
son, ''fOr fear of injuring my rights on the
other sde-thOugh. by the way, never
made anything out of European patents
but will say briefly that the current will
pass from the stationary engine to a central
rail between the tracks. thence through the
mechanism attached to the bottom of the
cars or motor. A freight train. of course.
would need a motor, because OF the number
of cars. although single passenger car
could be run carrying its own motor be-
meath it-thence to the wheels. and thence
back by the side rails to the power house or
stationary engine"
"And how many of these stationary en-
gines would be needed?"
''Three of them. with horse power of
10, 600 or IL. 600 each. would run the whole
Pennsylvania railroad system between here
and Philadelphia"
Freight, local. express trains and ALP"
'All of them. and at a great reduction
of expense. Not only is each horse power
produced at much less expense, but the de-
probation of rolling stock and road bed is
much less. Every eXertiOn of steam power
is in the nature of an explosion, and when
you take into consideration the fact that
four or five hundred engines are on road
like the Pennsylvania at one time. each ex-
ercising different degree of this explosive
power, the depreciation is great factor.
But with electricity. it is always the smooth,
rotary motion, impaired in the same way
by the same men at the stationary engines"
''Can equipment be devised which will
stand the strain of this system at full
speed?"
The Wizard smiled. Full speed of this
SYSTEM" he said, "is, or 1 see no reason
why it should not be. 200 miles an hour.
But as for practical purposes. feel sure
that 1OO-pOund rail on rock. ballasted
track would stand the speed of 100 miles an
hour"
