EDWARD JAMEs's ROMANCE.
The Sad Story of wen-Known Sporting
Editor.

The Sad Story of a weIl-Known Sporting
Editor.
New York, July 1.-THE removal of
Ed James, the old sporting editor, to
Bellevue Hospital, suffering from insanity,
was sad shock to his many friends.
To those whose recollection of affairs in
this city go back about 80 years, the name
of Ed. James is connected with the erratio
life of Adah Isaacs Menken, the actress.
Ed James is believed to be the first man
that made the writing of pugilistic events
and matter a speciality. He contributed to
the "Clipper" long before he became, in
1859, the sporting editor OF that paper,
and it was through Frank Queen, the pro
prietor of the sheet, that he became ao-
quainted with Adah Isaacs Menken.
The actress was ut that time the talk of
New York, Handsome in form and figure,
dashing, vivacious, talented with both pen
and pencil, it was little wonder that she
had almost every man who had ever met
her, at her feet.
Originally her name had been Adah
Isaacs. Then she married Captain Men
ken, of New Orleans; James Barclay, a
prominent gambler; John Heenan, the
prize fighter and "Orpheus G. Kerr"
(Robert c. Newell) the writer. With none
of her husbands did she live happily for
any length of time, and the formalities of
a divorce were dispensed with when she
had tired of them.
1t was while she was In the height of
her New York success, when her per-
formances, of "Mazeppa," well calculated
to show off her splendid proportions to
the best advantage, was being given
nightly to crowded houses, that James
made her acquaintance, and became in
fatuated with her.
He followed her all over the continent, it
is said, saw how the crowned heads bowed
before her, and then when she was in the
heigth of success, he caught cold in his
eyes and had to remain behind to have
them attended to. He visited the most
prominent oculists in Europe, but they
could do nothing for him.
In the meanwhile after long series OF
splendid triumphs, Adah Isaacs Menken
had died in poverty in Paris. James
heard of her death when far away.
He hurried to the French capital
sought out the grave, unmarked and un'
cared for, in Pere La Chaise Cemetery
and over it erected a handsome monu
ment Then, heart-broken and almost
| blind, he returned to America.
In the year 1865, he held his position al
sporting editor of the "Clipper." His
eyes became somewhat better, but at last
the constant strain upon them became toe
much, and he was forced to turn his at
tention from writing to the sale of sport
| ing goods,
He occupied a small office in the "Clip
| per" building and did prosperous busi
ness. Three months ago he sold out, anC
a week or two thereafter broke down witt
nervous prostration, which has resulted
| in the loss of his reason.

THIS AND THAT

The managers of the Lakeside Improve
ment Company object to the criticisms that
have been made upon their manner of run
ming Lakeside Park. In reply to the
charge that their terms are so exorbitant
that no society can make money by taking
picnic there they point to the fact that
they are un der very heavy expense, the
season is short and what may appear to be
unreasonable exactions is really the cost OF
providing the public with the conveniences
which Lakeside offers. The company has
purchased the property of Gus Roth for
$4,000, to be paid in ten years, and must
make big sum of money each year to
make good their contract, and pay ex-
penses.-TFi. Weekly.
