BOOTH AS AN AMATEUR.
Recolleotions Of His Cellar Theater
in l846.

Recolleotions OF His Cellar Theater
in l946.
Many people know of Edwin Booths
first appearance on the stage at the
Boston Museum as Tressel in erich
ard Ill.," but few know anything Of
his caree as an amateur for several
years prior to that time.
In 1916 he organized a theatrical
company of his friends and relations.
Though only 13 years Of age, and by
no means the Oldest, his was the spirit
that carried the organization through
with success. Among the members of
this group that afterwards became
widely known were Wilkes Booth, his
brother, John S. Clark and Somer
Fieldbarrow.
The theater was the cellar of aresi.
dence on Exeter street, below Fayette
street, in Baltimore, Md. At one end
of the cellar was the stage, raised
three feet from the floor, and at the 9th
er was the main entrance which was the
large cellar window, reached by a.lad-
der. The place was light and airy; the
AlOOI W0S SUIOW11 WlUL S1WuuSU CAAO
abundantly provided with benches.
The fact that the stairway to the
cellar was used by the young Thes-
plans as their entrance to the "green-
room" made the entrance much more
pretentions than it might otherwise
have been.
Boththe brothers, Edwin and Wilkes,
were enthusiastic in their play acting,
and did not confne themselves to
tragedy, though Edwin was W
more pleased then when in full regalia
he could take the character of Jack
Cade. Fieldbarrow wasthe great song
and dance man, and Clark was the
funny man when they gave negro min
strel shows. Even Booth had no OBJ
jections to blacking hlsface with burnt
cork and joining in with the chorus.
Benefits were occasionally given for
the various members.
Booth continued the amateur per-
formances until the searlier part OF
1849, at which time he beganto study
seriously for the stage" -Philadelphia

that were certainly valuable. if only
for what it cost him to acquire it.
Learning what he did at the price
among those who spoke his own Ian
guage, it made him in a measure curious
to e howthe counterparts of these
gentrywould treat him in sunny France
and Italy. The few inquiries he made
did not reassure him that Gallo or
Italian hosts were any less frugal or
exacting than those of tho British
Kingdom, so that he not unnaturally
judged from past experience that so
much Of his time as was not employed
in sleeping would be chiefly occupied
in opening his pocket book and max
ing various payments and donations
more or less just to almost everyone
he was brought in contact with.
Whether he was right or wrong in
thus assuming that everything went
so long as it was paid for, he could
not possibly decide for some time.
The theory that it was all right had.

of the principal cities, after visiting
which he had come to Marseilles.
Here his eyes were delighted with
reading the legend on a rather fair

the petty extortions practiced upon

treated in the light of an item for the
bill. Opening a window seemed to be
made a memorandum Of by the ofici-
ating waiter, and handing him q light
for a cigar had the character of a spe-
cial extra.
This went on for about half a day,
when he had an alteration with an
official whom he enormously took for
the man that blacked his boots. As
neither understandable other too we'll,
the traveller, possibly mistaking the
garcon'snatural vivacityfo offensive

trunks and down the stairs.
In a moment up rushed the propri-

Rainfall and Pcnnintion.

The distribution of population rela- tive torlean annual rainfall indicates not only the tendency of people to seoE arabic lands. but their condition IS to general healthfulneSs. The av- craze rainfall in this country is 29.6 inches. but the variations range from zero to perhaps l25 inches. Gauging the distribution of population in nc cordance with the annual average rainfall in different localities, some interesting points are observable. not only as to the number of inhabitants n the areas calculated. but as to the density of population.
 Tine greater proportion of the peo pie of the United States are living in the regions in which the annual rain fall i' between thirty and fifty inciles. Mr. Gannett calculates that about three fourths of the inhabit ants of the country are found under these conditions. and further, that as the rainfall increases or dimin- ishes, the population diminishes rap idly.-CaIroil D.

A Chance for Inventors.

"No two children wear out clothes just alike. q father said. Take, for example. my seven boys. have to get knee pads for Cyrus, copper toed shoes for Lucius and Darius. elbow protectors for Jonas, re-enforced trousers for Rufus, and stocluings with double toes. heels and knees for Cephas and Alpheus. Some of the inventions for protecting childron's clothes against wear aro decidedly useful. and they have been very prof table to the inventors. but far larger fortune awaits the man who shall discover how to make children's clothing indestructible throughout. This would do away with the neces- sity of providing a special equipment for each child. and it would akso meet the requirements of that vast army of children who wear out their clothes, not iu spots. but all over. - New York Sun.
