Booth, opened the door OF his sleeping
apartment at the club and found the ira
gedian lying in bed unconscious.
Dr. st. Clair Smith and DR.. Ransome
were Immediately summoned and gave it
as their opinion that he was seized with a
paralytic stroke some time during the
night. Doctors Smith and Ransome re-
NAMED with the patient all day, and at
midnight, though there are signs of con-
seriousness, his condition is considered
very critical and the attending physicians
said it was very doubtful if Booth would
recover.
Since Booth gave his last performance
at the Academy of Music, in Brooklyn,
on April Sd, 1891, his health has been'gen-
orally poor. He spent most of his time
at the players club. A few weeks ago he
appeared TO be considerably better, so
much so, indeed, that it was reported he
would return to the stage next season.
He has been in the babit of leaving the
club to dine with his daughter once or
twice a week, and he went to the theatre
a few times.
The last time he was seen in public was
on April 8, when he attended Alexandra
Salvini's performance at the Manhattan
opera house. For the last few days he
had not been so we'll.
At O'Clock this Thursday morning it
is announced at the club house that Booth
is sinking and while he might recover
his condition is more precarious than at
any time since his attack.
The famous tragedian, Edwin Thomas
Booth, is nearly 60years of age, having been
born November 13, 1888, in Belair, Md.
His father was the actor Junius Brutus
Booth. When quite young, Edwin
travelled with his father and played minor
parts. On one occasion sudden attack
of illness prevented the elder Booth s APP
pearance as Richard III. The son sup
piled his place and scored great sue
cess. He was then but 10, but since that
time he has played the leading parts in
most of Shakespeare's plays in all parts
of America and Europe. he enjoys the
distinction OF being the greatest actor of
his time. tie was twice married, first in
1850 to Miss Mary Devlin, who died three
years later, and to Miss Mary McVicker
in 1869. She too is dead, having died in
1881. He has one daughter, Edwina.

A SENSATIONAL RUMOR.

The Report That the Missouri Pacific Is
to Go in Receivers Hands.
NEW YORK, April ia dispatch from
st. Louis this morning attributed to John
Blessing of the banking firm of Gaylord,
Blessing & Co., the sensational story to
the effect that the Missouri Pacific Rail
way company was approaching a re-
ownership or complete reorganization,
involving the scaling down OF the interest
debt, and that the company has over
500, 900, 600 of floating debt not shown in
its reports or statements. When shown
this dispatch George Gould said: "There
is to be no receiver, and the company's
floating debt is only $4,000, 600, all of
which is carried by Russell Sage and
myself. "
Russell Sage said: s'There is abso-
lutely no foundation for the statement.
There is no occasion for a receiver for the
company and there will be none, The
company's report tells the truth about
the floating debt. The stock was at
tached by bears who were short of it and
want it lower -

MONEY GRABBING SCHEME.
An Abuse in Operation Upon Fair E1hib
itors by Railway switehmen.


itors by Railway switchmen.
CHICAGO, April 19.-The most novel
wholesale money grabbing scheme
brought to light in Chicago in many a
day is said to be in operation upon the
Worlds fair exhibitors by railway switch
men in the great outlying mazes of tracks
at Grand Crossing, South Chicago and
elsewhere. The abuse had queer origin,
beginning, it is said, with some of the
shrewd Germans here installing exhibits
for Germany and German merchants.
There has been great rivalry between
Germans and French since the installation
begun to see who would get in order first,
and it is asserted the Germans bribed the
switchmen to shunt in the cars contain
ing the German exhibits first. The up
shot was the German exhibit made sur
prising progress, while the French kicked
their heels and TUNED. This beginning,
it is said, has resulted in a systematic
scheme of bribing switchmen, which,
now that it has been made public, will
probably be stopped at once.

HARD RAIN STORM.

Desperate Work at the Worlds Fair
Buildings Saves Exhibits from Damage.
CHICAGO, April ia half dressed
guard rushed from the service building
at the World s fair grounds at II O'Clock
toward the manufactures building. For
four hours the rain had pelted down on
the roofs of the big buildings or was
driven in sheets by mighty winds and
had shaken the heavy iron trusses as it
struck their coverings. The wind had
been high all day but an hour before
midnight it was blowing almost hurri-
cane. The rain was driven with force
that sent it through every crack and
crevice. The men worked desperately
and none of the exhibits was damaged
but it was a close call for some of them
on the east side of the building, which
was alone affected

the Present Financial Policy.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Only grave
emergency viii change the present inan-
cial policy of the government and each
day officials Of the treasury department
gain more confidence in the situation.
Yesterday afternoon the secretary re-
ceived gold from Philadelphia, which is
the fist offer the east has made to
aid the administration, and a small
amount was also obtained from
Chicago. This enlargement of free
gold and the usual daily increase
makes the condition more easy than YES
terday at the treasury. 1t is denied that
any order has yet been issued to stop the
redemption in gold of treasury notes of
1890, and the statement is made that
nothing would be done until the emerg-
ency arrived.
Secretary Carlisle said late this after
noon that he had 81, 173, 600 free gold in
the treasury. This was obtained yester-
day and today principally from the west
in exchange for small notes and relieves
the tension at least for the present.

ton on the Home Rule ELL.
LONDON, April 19.-The annual gather
ing of the conservative organization
known as the Primrose league was held
today in Covent Garden theatre. Lord
Salisbury delivered al address in which
ne dealt with the Irish home rule bill. He
said the financial proposals OF the bill
would almost bankrupt Ireland and heaV-
lily burden Great Britain, but, he con-
tinued, the atrociOus feature of the scheme
was that Irish members would sell their
freedom for advantage to Ireland by fore
ing the government to give them what
they wanted.
The bill now before the house of com
mons wOuld not get rid OF the Irish ques-
ton. Since England would be compelled
to comply with Irish demands the house
of lords exclaimed Lord Salisbury must
not be turned saway from its duty by any
discussions concerning its constitution,
but must rescue the empire from its
assailant.
