A GREAT ACTOR PASSING AWAY.

The dispatches announce that Edwin
Booth is passing away, and that there
is now no hope of his recovery. Mr..
Booth belonged to q family of actors,
all OF whom distinguished themselves in
their profession. Junius Brutus Booth,
the father OF Edwin, was the greatest
actor of his time, and he lived at q period
when the American and English stages
were rich in great actors. Edwin For
resS, j. r. Scott, James Wallack and
James E. Murdock graced the American
boards during his time; and VIM. O.
Macready, Charles r. Keane and George
II. Vandenhoff were at the zenith of
their power on the English stage. The
elder Booth, however, was admittedly
the finest actor of his time. His per-
sonations were not uniform, but he as
tonished his audiences at times with
bursts OF genius that lighted up
his characters with transcendent
blaze of fire. His Richard the
Third and Sir Giles Overreach were
perhaps the two roles into which he
Infused his personal magnetism to such
an extent as to fairly thrill his audience
with the intensity OF his powsrs. Un.
fortunately for himself and his reputa-
tion, he had one fault which was the
terror OF managers. He was liable at
any time to disappoint them. We re-
member a striking instance. He was
billed for an engagement at Sol Smith s
theatre in st. Louis. When the time
came to ring up the curtain, no Booth
was to be found. The house was filled
from gallery to pit. Sol had to apollo
gize. The next ght, the same. The
third day, the manager cot hold OF the
old man and locked him up in room,
placing a atsid and steady actor as
guard over him. Sol Smith had pledged
his word to the audience the night be-
fore that he would have Booth in good
shape the next night or close the house
But, alas, when evening came and Smith
entered the room where he had cegeC
his bird, he found to his dsmay thu
great actor and his sentinel both laic
out.
We have mentioned this inciden
merely to show how it happened tina
, Edwin Booth came to California, wher
he grew to manhood. In 1854 Booth
senior, accepted an engagement to pls.
in San Francisco at the Jenny Lind,
beautiful Jheater erected by Tom Ma
guirs. That building is now the oil
, city hall. The elder Booths iamil
6 would only consent to his going to Cali
e fornis on condition that his son Z il
II who exeacised strong restraining r
= huence over hia father, should accom-
pany him. They arrived in San Frsr
t cisco together. The engagement, how
if ever, was ? checkered one on account

THR NEVADA SOUTHERN, ITS PRRsI-
DENT AND PROSPECTS.

For some days past, Mr.. Isaac r..
Blake, the president Of the Nevada
Southern railway, has been sojourning
in Los Angeles and San Bernardino
counties. Mr.. Blake Is ore OF the most
distinguished of the noble army OF
development that created the grand
commonwealth OF Colorado. Every
phase Of his career ha= been marked
with exceptional success. He is high
in the banking and capitalist circles of
Denver. In common with many other
wealthy Coloradans, he has started in
to develop the mining region OF which
the Vanderbilt and the New York dis
tricts are the latest developments. Thus
far in bis career he has known no such
word as fail, and he has an abounding
confidence In the output Of the region
which he is exploiting, and is preparing
to exploit on grand scale. He
and bis associates have already
given great impetus to Needles,
where they have established a re-
duction works on large scale, which
they prop )se to supplement with smet-
ing works, and which, through their
Nevada Southern railway, starting frem
Goff's station, on the Atlantic & Pacific
railway, they propose to supply with
illimitable ores and their huxes Mr.
Blake and his associates have already
provided the town of Needles with
bank, and the population of that enter
pricing place has doubled in the past
few months. The Nevada Southern
railway will develop the Vanderbilt and
q score Of other mining districts, whose
output is destined to astonish the coast
with notable development. Mr.. John
w. Mackay, who passed through Los
Angeles the other day, gave to the read
ers Of the HERALD on emphatic opinion
in favor of the richness OF the Wander
bilt district. The judgment of tho
Bonanza King is quite valuable as to
any mining proposition. But there will
be ecore of rich ore deposits on the
line of this road, and it's extension to
coel fields Of illimitsble yield is matter
OF oyy few months, with incalcuIable
Dement'S TO Los Angelica, both in the
senae of cheap fuel and the development
of manufactures in all lines.
Mr.. Blake personally is king amongst
men. OF immense stature and frame,
he presents the striking and always &C
ceptabie combination of great geniality
and force. In Colorado his name is the
synonym for energy and success. He
has never known misadventure in his
career. For some time past he has been
associated with Senator FELTON, and Mr..
@. d. Scofeld in the development OF
our oil measures in the Pico caflon
and in the Sespe oil regions. In
his visit to Los' Angeles he is
accompanied by Mr.. Otto B. Amsden,
the mining engineer of the company.
In company with Mr.. d. G. Scofield
these gentlemen so up to San Francieco
on the Q O'Clock train today. They will
return shortly and will make an elabo
rate and exhaustive survey ofthe Nevada
Southern railway, which is being rapidly
pushed into the most interesting mining
regions on the American continent.

tricitiee. 1t ended, and he returned to
his home near Baltimore, where he
died coon afterwards.
Edwin remained in California. and
played in number OF stock companies.
He appeared at Maguire'e Opera House,
at the Metropolitan and at the American
theaters, where he played lines OF sec
ondary roles, but evincing much
promise. In 1880 he went to Sacra-
lnento as leading man with fair com
pany which the lamented James Bowling
organized. They played a series OF worn
out pieces to empty benches, and the
troape was stranded. Bowling, how
ever, was manager of resources. He
had received copy of Boucicsult's new
piece, The Marble Heart, and thought
he saw how to snatch victory out of de-
feat with this piece. Edwin Booth was
cast as Rafael the Reprobate, and m ade
tremendous hit in 1t. Instead Of play
ing to empty benches, there was not
room enough in the thester to admit the
crowds that rushed to see the new piece,
and the senson proved ore of the most sue
cessful ever known in Sacramento. In
1861 Mr.. Booth took his farewell of Cal
ifornians at the old Union thsater, on
Commercial streel, in San Francisco, In
the character OF Claude Melnotte. He
was greeted with a tremendous house
and played at his best, and his friends
predicted for him a career at the east
which he more than verified.
The dying actor will live in the memo
ry OF his admirers as the best Hamlet
that ever tred the American stage. He
was only approached, and that at some
distance, in his intense and admirable
rendition OF this subtle character by
James e. Murdoch. His Iago was an
other study which marked his wonderful
powers Of expression; and his Shylock
was remarkable for conception of the
role which was entirely original with
himself. He brought out the character
of the berRted Jew in the clear light of
man wronged by the Christians, and ex-
cited the sympathies of the audience
strongly in his favor.
There is no one now to fill the place
Edwin Booth will leave vacant. We
have young tragedians of great promise,
but it will take years for them to de-
velop-if they ever do--into successful
rivalry for place in the American
drama with the great actor who has
"iretted his hour upon the stage" and
will now be heard no more.

soME PRosAIC SUGGESTIONS.

1t admits of great doubt as to whether
any one lie justified in spending much
money in going to- see the Chicago expo
sition, and for number of reasons. We
predicate this declaration on actual ex-
perience. 1t is probably not to our
credit to admit that the only really
great exposition we ever saw was that of
New Orleans, which was mere baby
compared to the tremendous panorama
which is about to unroll itself in Chi
cago. But even the New Orleans expo
sition abnunded in lessons. The main
hall Of that building, while email COM
pared to that of the Hall OF the Mechan-
ical Arts in Chicago, was still SO large
that it was often difficult to find in it
the magnificent Concert hall, with the
nnreio in fsn play. in which thare were
seats for three thousand performers and
an audience of twelve thousand. With
the band playing up to its full capacity,
and the singers roaring at the extreme
OF their diapason, it was really remark
able how difficult it was to find this con-
cert hall. We believe that the main
hall OF the New Orleans exposition could
contain somewhat over two hundred
thousand people. What will it be when
we come to hall in the Chicago expo
sition, devoted to the mechanic arts,
which can easily contain q mil
lion and a half of people? The hui
man imagination recoils aghast at
such stupendous proposition,
and yet there it is. 1t took weeks to get
even faint idea of the stupendous .ex-
panse and infinite variety of the New
Orleans exposition. In the Chicago be-
wildering expanse of all nations and ali
arts and mechanic displays, it is not too
much to say that months will be re-
quired, where only weeks were needed
in the New Orleans exposition, to give
the faintest conception of the illimitable
treasures that await the eye of the spec
tator. As summary of our idea as to
whether it is wise or otherwise to go TO
the Chicago exposition, with all it's be.
wildering Columbian worlds fair fea.
lures, we have no hesitation in saying
that unless the contemp plating visitor
has plenty Of money and plenty OF leis
ure, he had better stay away. Anything
less than month will give no idee
whatsoever of the exposition, and to put
in month in Chicago will require for
tune.

IT is not a little singular that the
council should record a two-thirds vote
in favor of paying that demand of JUS
tice Lockwood, OF $40, after two courts
had decided that the P was entitled
to no compensation whatever. The
claim that he had assigned his warrant
to other parties, who were innocent pur.
chssers, does not materially mend th2
matter. The vote to pay Lockwood
stood as follows: Ayes, Messrs. Camp
bell, Gaffey, Munson, Rhodes, Strohm
and President Teed; nays, Messrs. In
mes, Nickel and Pessell. Our three old
stalwarts placed themselves very prop

A CASE OF ROBBERY.

Thieves who Took Stereotype Metal
from the Heraid's Press Room,
The HERALD Office appears to be un-
fortunate in being located near the CEN
trsl police station for it is the particular
object of thieves, who probably feel
there is safety in the contiguity to the
neighboring headquarters of detectives.
Within ten days, there has been stolen
from the press room of this paper some-
thing like thousand pounds of stereo-
type metal, which is worth $l60, and
yesterday some enterprising individual
who evidently was pressed for time,
packed away the business Office clock.
1t is proable that the fellows intend to
come back for the press, the safe, the
stove and the type, as the authorities
! apparently unable to ston the forages.
The HERALD hereby Offers a reward OF
! $25 for the apprehension and correction
Of the thieves who took the metal, and
hopes to be promptly called upon for
he amount.
