Edwin Booth In Retirement.
Especial Corrcspondcnce.l


NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Edwin Booth has
since his retirement from the stage led the
lie almost of Il recluse, which has lopr
been natural to him. He occupies a suite
OF rooms at the Players club, Gramercy
park, never leaving them except OH some
important GRAND or when drawn out. well
nigh literally, by the urgency of his
friends. The brooding, melancholy tenn
permanent of Hamlet has always been his
and has deepcned with his years. He
spends his time reading, smoking, rumi-
mating; is glad to see his intimates when
they call, but would never call on them
unless charged with some most momentous
mission. He values his friends highly.
but by Il law Of his own being compels
them To do the active part of friendship
while he remains passive.
The truth Is he is one Of the shiest of
mortalS. He Is very timorous socially. He
would rather lead II forlorn hope than enter
crowded drawing room. Hardly any one
knows how much he suffers from an intro
duction to an entire stranger, or what an
instructive, uncomfortable shrinking he has
from society in general. For man who
has been on the stage all his life, this APP
pears incredible, familiar rs the fact is to
his friends. He has always found it ex-
ceedingly diflcult to make speech of the
dinner table. Indeed he is as unlike an
actor as it is possible to imagine, not being
1.-THE as cgotistic or self confident as he
should he for his own comfort. Nearly al!
his kindred have passed away except his
one daughter, whom he visits regularly
and i'll whose children he takes great in
tereSt
1t is doubtful if Booth will ever return
to the stage though he is constantly re-
ceiving handsome offers to do SO. He is
not old-only ifty-eight-but he continues
to be afflicted with dyspepsia and rheu,
lnatsm, which are often burdensome.
lie is tired of the theater as he hes been
Tor years, and is not likely to 20 back, un-
less some extraordinarily energetic and
shrewd manager should contrive to involve
him in an engagement that he cannot
escape FROM Left entirely to himself, he
would not have played during the last
twenty years. EPP.

HOUSTON, Aug. 1S.-The condition
of affairs has undergone great
change things having quoted down
greatly, that is in comparison with
the intense excitement and activity OF
Tuesday and Wednesday. Many
delegates left for home this morning,
and the pressure about the hotels has
to great extent been relieved. 1t is
as hot as a cotton blazing sun, manag-
ing to reach every nook and crossing.
Delegates and reporters are hustiing
about the streets with their coats of
and shirts wet, foot sore and weary.
Texas should feel grateful to the poor
reporters, who have had narrowing
time of it. At night it seems
about impossible to persuade dele
gates to go to bed. They insist
on caucussing all the time and of
course the reporters have to chase
them down and stay With them. To
gothrough the corridors of hotels at
night is amusing and interesting,
lined on both sides with cots on which
repose all kinds and conditions of
humanity. Some wear underwear
and some don't. Some wear silk,
some cotton, some wear nothing and
some are robed in shores which echo
and reviberate through the still hours
of night like a bass fiddle in the
hands Of plantation niggers. o'n -" ..,
The political status is still a puzzle.
The difference with which the two
factions view the case as gathered
from the convention speeches is really
amazing. The Clark men claim
they will in November snow Hogg
under so completely that he will be
dead to Texas politics. for all time to
come, while Hogg men positively as
sert that Clark will not have a. bak-a
er's dozen at the polls. j. m11'1 ems
Many Hogg men are greatly dis
pleased with theplatiorm adopted and
say it will injure them. One Hogg
man was heard to say;;s.i'It is beau.

veritable Joseph's coat, Third party
ties, and Republicans can come to it.
They can't dodge it. 1t covers every

The Clark forces are tickled to
death with the Hogg platform, and
say it is just the kind they wanted
them to adopt, while as to their own,
they consider 1t the best in the history
of Texas. Hogg people have little to
say of Clark's platform Their opin.
ions are few and brief, plainly seeing
its strong and invincible points. aad

THE CLARK CONVENTION.

Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning
the Clark convention was called to or.
der by Chairman Lane, who an
nounced that the first business in Or
der was the nomination of candidate
for attorney general. Before any
names could be presented, however,
delegate in the rear of the hall arose
and made statement that he had
been informed by a gentleman just
from the Hogg convention that they
had voted down a minority report of
the committee on credentials, and
that numerous Clark men who had
apparently proved false to their allie
glance had bolted the convention. The
announcement was received with
deaiening applause and numerous
cries of "they all come home, "they
were not false after all, +" rent the air.
Fully five minutes did the uproar last,
Charm an Lane making no attempt to
quell it, in fact he could not do it, as
the boilers from the Hogg convention
were reported to be on the way to the
hall. Recess was taken toawait their
arrival, during which time the dele.
gates mingled on the floor grasped
hands in congratulations, asserting
that the action of the Hogg mon
in adopting the free silver plank
and ignoring the Chicago platform
was the best possible thing they could
have done for the cause of Clark and
pure Democracy 49, e.

WE'RE TECHNICALLY GUILTY.
The Two Young Men Who Were Firing
Their Pistols.

The Two Young Men Who Were Firing
Their Pistols.
The hearing in the case Of the two young
men, Archibald Stakes and Henry R. Erwin.
charged with concealed weapons, as published
in yesterdays STAR, was resumed in the Police
Court this morning As already stated the
young men were arrested Tuesday night near
Twining City, where Policemen MARI and
Green found them discharging their weapons.
Although the officers thought the men were
fighting duel the latter denied 1t. The officers
also thought that the men were facing each
other. This the young men also denied. In
their own defense they stated that they had
been on q tramp through the county and Just
before reaching the city they concluded to
empty their weapons. They did SO, they said,
by shooting at q stump of tree in the road.
The officers contradicted the evidence Of the
young men 30 far as the stump in the road was
concerned and the young men in denying the
story OF their fighting duel said that they had
been friends for five years and were on excellent
terms at the time Of the alleged offense
Judge Mills in disposing OF the case said that
SO far as the duel theory was concerned that
was merely sensational feature and cut no
ferred to the law in the case and said that the
defendants had all the evidences Of being gen.
tlemen. They do not look like roughs who
usually carry weapons for an unlawful purpose.
The judge said that they were technically
guilty and he would therefore have to impose q
penalty. The law, however, gives the court
power to suspend sentence and that was done.
A fine OF $50 was imposed and the court took
the personal bonds OF the young men.
