A San Francisco paper has recently
undertaken to give his biography and it
got mixed up to moat fearful lot OF
anachronisms and has likewise offended
good taste by giving q large slice of
Charley Reeds domestic life. The
"plain comedian" was public man and
it is only as such that l shall speak of
him. He was an artist, beyond ques-
ton, as any one will say who ever saw
his droll makeup in the part of Null
cahy. Charley had bis mission on
earth and it was to make men laugh /;
and, in all probability, the only painful
feeling he ever caused his legion of
friends. was when the telegraph flashed
from Boston the unwelcome intelligence
that he was dead and was destined never
to make them laugh again.

Balth's grain warehouse, six private resi-
