BARRY SULLIVAN.
Death Ends the Great Tragedian's
Long Suffering.
FIFTY YEARS ON THE STAGE

For the Past Four Years His Mind
Has Been a Blank, and He Was
Cared for as 1enderly as q Child
by His Children.
LONDON, May 4.-Barry Sullivan, the
well known tragedian is dead.
Barry Sullivan, the tragediau, AZ
though of Irish extraction, was born in
Birmingham in 1924, and brought up in
England. He made his first appearance
in Cork in 1910, and after winning con-
siderable fame In Liverpool. Manchester,
Edinburgh and Dublin made success
full debut at the Haymarket, London, in
"Hamlet," in February, 1869. Subse-
quently he played engagements at the
St.. James, Sadler's Wells, the Standard
and Drury Lane theatres.
Half a Century on the Stage.
In 1857 Mr.. Sullivan came to this
country and made his first appearance
at Burton's theatre, New York. He
made @ long tour of the country and
then went to Australia, where, from
1860 to 1886, he was the manager and
leading actor of one of the principal
theatres. Returning to London in the
last named year he participated in no.
table revival of Macbeth" at Drury
Lane. In 1868 he managed the Holborn
theatre for brief period, but soon re-
sumed his starring tours, which he again
extended to this country, Canada and
Australia.
His last visit to the United States was
in 1915, when he played an unsuccessful
series of engagements under the man.
agement of Jarrett s. Palmer. He was
careful, correct and perspicuous de-
claimer, but never startled his audience
by display of deep dramatic feeling
His repertoire embraced nearly the
whole range Of Shakespearean charac-
ters, and he used to pride himself on
having played Hamlet more than 1880
times in all quarters of the globe.
Robbed of His Reason.
After nearly fifty years of hard work
ON the stage, Mr.. Sullivan broke down
about four years ago, and has not since
been seen in public. He had pleasant
home at West Brighton, England, where
he has lain for the past three years in
helpless state, tenderly cared for by his
three unmarried daughters and one of
his sons. His reason has been entirely
gone, and with it the ability to recognize
any one. He has been SO helpless that
he had to be fed like child, and death
came as welcome relief. His second
son, John Amory Sullivan, is an actor
of some reputation, who has been play
ing under the management Of his elder

The question Of the degree to which

rived at seems to be that in all cases Of

air, or approaching from 9 distance,
might inhict serious injury upon an un-
protected building, well designed and
properly earth connected lightning rod
Is an absolute safeguard. In case Of

Of use in bearing the brunt Of the dis

The Supply of whsA. Failing on.

The indications are that the day Of
heavy surplus production is fast waning.
Our wheat crop in 1874 YAa-tIe mag
nihcent total Of 519, ,7B0, 900 bushels. Il
has not kept in that upper notch, and in
the year 1889 it figured q maximum yield
Of 400, 500, 900 bushels. We have q greater
population by nearly 5000, 900 than q
decade ago, and the increase Of home
consumption would necessitate q larger
yield and not o smaller. II Is not likely
that we can add very largely to the an.
