When the composer, Schulze, was cap
tured by brigands in the Abruzzi, they
demanded one of his own compositions
from him, with the result that he sang
an aria from his latest opera. But be-
fore it was ended, the entire band burst
into tears, and their captain, offering his
hand to Schulze, released him with the
words: $50 you, too, steal? I never ex-
act anything from a colleague
Miss Ellen Terry finds that answering

idea of establishing an autograph bed''
at a hospital, and so, in reply to the
many pretty letters she receives from la
dies, the signature is sent, and with it a
request for new pence towards the al-

1t appears that the Hon. Charles Hoyt
has not alone made a will that leaves all
his theatrical property to Mr. Bert Dash
er, but that if he dies before he has time
to alter it, the theatrical world will be
somewhat astonished. Mr.. @Hoyt is
worth nearly half-million dollars and
has not living relative. The theatrical
firm known now as Hoyt & Thomas will
at his death become Dasher & Thomas.
Inc DeauIlIul HOyL nome, With It's prl-
waite theatre and spacious grounds at
Charlestown, n. H., will be turned into
a home for INDECENT actresses. 1t will be
called the Flora Walsh Home and en-
dowed with $4,000. Mrs. Walsh, Mr..
Hoyt's mother-in-law, will get $4,000
and the balance will be used to build a
mausoleum in which will rest Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoyt and Mr.. Hoyt's father.
