New YORK, April 3.-The eminent
man, now the relic of a curious house
hold of actors, is just stepping of the
stage for good and all, as his partner
dies While Edwin Booth is not the last
representative Of a remarkable family,
he is the only one of the present day
and generation that kinship who will be
remembered and mentioned in the years
far ahead of us. Joseph is an elder son
of the distinguished tragedian known as
Junius Brutus Booth, and he lives at
Long Branch, where among his towns
men he is rated like all the rest of his
folks for his eccentricitieS. He never
had histrionic aspirations like some of
his kin and he has lived settled life;
but full of combat with those about
him. 1t is curious fact that only two
of all this blood born and bred to the
theater have achieved distinction on the
stage. Junius BrutuS, who bore his
fathers name, was a better tavern

death had thrown upon his shoulders.
John Wilkes was at that time too young
to be a competitor. Edwin Booth play
ed with John Mccullough, +. l.. Daven-
port and Lawrence Barrett before the
war. but after the clash of swords he
went by himself, until recently when
he Joined fortunes with the actor who
has just died. He had little in common
with any OF the men who stood compa-
triot with him in the artistic field be-
cause of his retiring habits.
Perhaps there is no more interesting
phase of his life than his appearance in
New York fore one hundred nights in
the character of Hamlet" That was
nearly twenty-five years ago. Then a
run of hundred nights was something
OF and yet he played the mel
ancholy Dane at the very pinnacle OF
his power and then went back TO San
Frisco to receive an ovation after nearly
a quarter of century of absence from
the Pacific coast, where he practically
began his artist career.
Mr. Booths career surmounts that Of
any other man now on the stage eX-
cepting Joseph Jefferson. To him Mr.
Booth owes much. The play of AZ
FOOLS Revenge" was sent to rip Van
Winkle," but he could find nothing in
the character for comedian. He gave it
to Mr. Booth, who at first saw little in
il for him, and the character of "Bert-
ruccio" did not strike him until after
he had studied it for long time. Per-
hapS it was ten years before he really
found that in this play he had one of his
stronger cards, and then he played it as
often as he thought it would win.
Strong as Booth is in Bertruccio" he
plays "Richeleu" with remarkable
power. ''Iago" is perhaps his greatest
part. At least he thinks so. The pub
lie take much the same view as does the
artist, and Mr. Booth certainly gives a
great impersonation Of the treacherous

Booth entered into a contract with a
manager in Baltimore to play for six
dollars a week. His success was not
very marked and he soon after went
with his father to California. The
struggle at that time with both father
and sons was veryIexciting. Junius
Brutus, named after the father, was in
the casts in those days, and the two
sons and he made up good part of the
company. Life was then gamble with
them all, and Edwin, on account OF his
retiring manners, Jared worse than all.
He drifted off to Australia and Homo
lulu, gathering much experience but
little money. He finally returned to
California with Laura Keene his sup
port. He did very well in round OF

Give Credit to Whom it is Due.

Referring to the recent District Convention
of the Womens Relief Corps at this place we
copy the following from the report in the Na-
tional Tribune, published at Washington, D.
c.:
The delegates were entertained at dinner
and supper at the Miller House by the Def
ance Corps.
That wrong impression as to the hospi-
tality of the noble band of women compos-
ing the Choate Corps may not spread through
the district, the above quotation cannot be
allowed to pass in silence. All who partook of
the entertainment at the Miller House as
the guests of Choate Corps and whatever
honor goes with that hospitality, must be ac-
corded to them, and as we feel some mis-
take must have been made in the publication
of the report and that honor should go where
honor is due, the above correction is writ
ten. JUSTICE.
The above point is we'll taken. The Wo-
mems Relief Corps, auxiliary to the Choate
Post, has gained an enviable reputation not
only through this district but the state also
for efficiency in hospitality and entertain
ment. Either the reporter of the N. z. was
laboring undar deplorable state of ignor.
ance or his mind had become warped from
from prejudice installed therein by Jealousy
of the present standard of the corps here.
