EDWIN BOOTHS ADVICE.
The Distin guished TrnRedisn's Advice t'

A letter written by Edwin Booth TO a young
doctor who was anxious to go On the stage, is
now published for the first time. 1t bears the
date Of July 81, 1884, and is dated from New
port:
az was indeed startled and, must confess,
panied by your letter announcing your deter
mination to abandon your profession for that
of the stage, and In sincere frankncss | beg
you to reconsider the matter, for really have
no hope for u satisfactory result from such
change. The feelings which prompt YOU to
take this step u mean your love, enthusiasm
and natural inclination) do not imply an
ability for the art. There are hundreds OF
disappointed lives wasted on lie stage, where
they feel, as you did, that brilliant destiny
awaited them. You may be able to recite In
private with perfect case nEscTropriety, even
with excellence, and yet have no other quail
fcatlon for the highest forms Of dramatic sx-
preston. 1t is life OF wearisome drudgery
and requires years of toll and bitter disap-
pointment to achieve q position worth hay
ing.
s'You can form no idea OF the many who
solicit my influence every season-profcssion-
ais and amateurs, friends and strangers, of
all qualities, male and female-and it is very
seldom that can serve them, for managers
prefer to judge for themselves; and as my
support, no matter how capable It may be,
has been abused by the press for many years
past, and will always be until the end of my
career, my recommendation 10 not regarded
by managers, whose Judgment ia quickly in
fiucnced by what the critics say. have
known many who, like you. gave up home,
friends and respectable positions for the gilt
ter of the actors calling, who arc now fixed
for life In subordinate positions unworthy
their breeding, education and natural refine
ment.
81 beg you, as your friend and sincere well
wishcr, 10 abandon the mistaken resolve, and
enjoy the drama ms q spectator, which pleas
ure as an actor you would never know, and
retain the family, friends and happy home
that now are yours. Had nature fitted me
for any other calling | should never have
chosen the stage. Were able to enjoy my
thoughts and labor In any other field would
gladly turn my back upon the theater forever
An art, whose professors and followers should
be OF the very highest culture, is the mere
makeshift of every speculator and boor that

tional rubbish to gull the public. am not

People Who Were on the Ship win be
Interested in this Case.
NEW YORK, May M-Senator John r.
MCPHERSON still has vivid recollection
OF his experience on board the Hamburg
and American Company's ship Norman
mia, last September, when she was de-
tanned for having cholera aboard. The
| senator was witness in the case brought
| by Judge Alfred B. Beers of Bridgeport
Conn.,, who seeks to recover $4,000
| damages from the company, he having
been one of the detained passengers who
were shufied around. the bay, shunted
from one boat to another, and finally
lodged on Fire island.
The suit of Judge Beers was begun
Yesterday before Judge Brown in the
United States District Court. Others of
similar nature are pending. 1t is
claimed by Judge Beers that the agent of
the Hamburg gAmerioan line in London
told him that the Normannia was to
carry no steerage passengers. He had
inquired particularly upon this point
after learning that there was cholera in
Hamburg, and he claims that after TAX
ing the ship at Southampton he found
steerage passengers aboard. He went
over in detail the siege after reaching
Quarantine, and estimated that his loss
because OF being away from business for
one month was between $4,000 and $4,000.
Mr.. Beers is judge of the City Court in
bridgeport. His story in the main was
borne out by all the witnesses heard
observation-disclosures. George III. Fox of
Philadelphia, j. M. Ell. Hawley of Bridge
port, and Senator McPerson of JERSEY
City. Each of these said that they had
assurance that no steerage passengers
were to be carried. The Senator said he
went SO far as to offer his ticket to the
agent provided he could learn the truth,
The ticket cost him 1926.
Senator Mcpherson grew quite dramat-

hardships he had undergone. He spoke
IN loud, clear tone, and once, wheeling

LAW OF THE CHURCH.
DIR. Briggs Talks of the Legal Aspects of
His Case.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-This afternoon
Moderator Craig convened the Presby-
terian Assembly as court. Rev. Geo.
D. Baker, the chairman, reported that
the judicial committee had unanimously
recommended that the prosecuting COM
mittee be allowed an hour to open the
case, that five hours be given to Prof.
Briggs and that the committee be given
two hours to close, to be extended If de-
sired to four hours. Rev. DR.. f. W.
Beach, chairman of the prosecuting
committee, took the floor: "We are here,
said DIR. Beach. ''to invoke this supreme
court to put an end to the dissension and
disputation which the New York Presby-
terry has vainly endeavored to silence,
first by the dismissal of the case against
DR.. Briggs, and second by the acquittal
of Dr.. Briggs, qualifying the dismissal
and acauittal by positive disclaimer of
any approval of the controverted state
ments of the inaugural address as to
critical or theological views and their
manner of expression"
DR.. Briggs began his reply to DR.. Beac h
He protested against the entertaining of
the appeal by the General Assembly
u0 Qu0bClOA UOlOIC ollO dSboulUly was
not, he said, whether DR.. Briggs's teach
ings were proper. but whether an appeal
could be lawfully entertained. DR..
Briggs asserted that the final judgment
of the Presbytery in his case was really
declared by the moderatorEof the Pres
bytery on December 30, 1892, and
taken % if fro from an any action of lthe Presby
terry and not from the action on Jan. 9,
1898. He was not to be put in jeopardy
a second time because of mistake by
the court which tried him at date sub
sequent to that on which final Judgment
was really delivered. DR.. Briggs dis
cussed the law of appeal. He spoke for
an hour and half and yielded for a
motion to adjourn.

WAS THIS SEIZURE ILLEGAL?
The Captain of Gloucester schoone,
Makes Protest.

QUEBEC, May M.-Captain Thomas
Goodwin, of the American fishing
schooner Lawrence A. Monroe of Glou-
cester, Mass, which was seized last
week off the Magdalen Islands, reports
from Gaspe that his vessel was Illegally
seized in neutral waters. He contends
and the Canadian authorities admit that
according to the treaty of 1918, foreign
vessels have the same privileges in the
waters where his ship was seized as out
side the three mile limit Notwith-
standing these protests the Monroe was
stripped, pending an investigation of the
alleged breach of the modus vivendi com
mitted by the schooner under another
captain last season.
