THROWN ON HIS OWN RESOURCES.
He Advances Steadily to Fame in His
Chosen Profession.


The latter part of 1852 the elder Booth
died hilc on his way from New Orleans to
Cincinnati. Edwin was now left to rely
upon his own intellectual resources, but
though he was only 20 years old, and was,
moreover, deeply Crieved at the loss of his
father, he continued to travel through the
state of California. Even at this early
period OF his life he had already added to
his reportorei the characters of Shylock,
Macbeth and his great part of Sir Edward
Mortimer in the Iron Chest"
Generous in His Love of Art.
He went to Australia in 1854 and re-
turned TO the United States the next year,
making his first appearance in "Rich-
elieu.r He WAS extravagant to magnifi-
cence in the interest of his art and this ex-
trava=ance resulted in financial ruin when
he caused the erection of the superb theater
Booths at New York. He simply per-
mitted his artistic instinct TO carry away
his business Judgment and built beyond
his means in a furore of artistic enthusi-
asm. Another evidence of his sympathy
with the profession was the erection
later at his own entire expense of the
Players club, in a chamber of which
death finally claimed him.
Stricken the "Mimic Stage"
Mr. Booths first serious illness came on
April J, 1889. when he was stricken with
incipient paralysis while playing in
"Othello" in the Lyceum theatre in Roch-
ester The last four years of Mr. Booths
life had been passed at the Players club in
complete retirement. except yearly visits
to his daughter at Narragansett, where he
was in 1892 very seriously ill. He got well
enough to return to New York in October
of that year. and from that time his health
had steadily de clined.

paying tellers were stationed, and every
preparation was made to meet the run.
Millions of dollars were displayed in full
view of everybody. The run was a foolish
one and will only result in loss of interest
to those who withdrew their money. The
real cause of It was probably the sensation
al extras gotten out Monday morning
when Meadowcroft Bros. suspended. The
suspension was of no moment to the bust
ness world and will cost no depositor d
cent, but those who had savings in the
banks were stampeded: they didn't know
that their funds were in no danger and
hence the run.
No Cause at Chicago, Either, They Say.
ST. LOUIS, June THE fact that there
has been trouble in New York and that
some Chicago banks have been In difficulty
has caused some anxiety to be felt by
stockholders and depositors in local banks.
Inquiry among bankers developed the fact
that there was not the smallest cause for
this.

A Snake Strangled a Child.

The North American published the
following, dated, Egg Harbor. n. j.,
June l5:-A large pine snake, four
feet four inches in length, yesterday

baby of William Pervin, n well-known
farmer near here, "ri ehoked the lit
tie ones life out b.f5ra it was discov

placed pillow on the grass for her
to sleep on during the hot afternoon.
She did not hear any outcry and first
knew of the snakes presence proba-
bly, a quarter of an hour after it had
finished its deadly work.
When discovered the snake was
still coiled about the neck of the child
with its head resting on the face
The frantic mother screamed for her
husband, vino was working in a field
nearby, and then grasped the body
of the reptile With both hands. 1t
bit her several times, but she contin-

mother pulled, and she was afraid to
use greater force for fear of injuring

About Digestion,

From the New York Ledger.
"Whcre dses digestion begin?"
said celebrated physician TO me the
other day; and he added: "Abso-
lutely OF the Plate, where food is
cut into proper smorsels; after that,
between the teeth.
Ard when we think Of this, what a
horrible notice that was on the busi-
ness man door: "Gone to dinner-be
back in five minutes.
If we don't take time to chew our
food, we become dyspeptic; and if
we become dyspoptic, We are liable
to become wicked.
AL life looks black to a miserable
man with a stomach in which his
food lies like lead Woe to bis com
panion if they expect good-fellow-
ship from him! Woe to his wife un-
less she has the womauly intuition
that will make her humor him as
though he were a cross baby Man
delights him not, nor woman either {;
nor is he best pleased with himeelf,
though he iealously demands hom-
age from others.
A man with a good digestion is
more likely to be true and loving and
charitable and honorable than one
who has ruined his temper and di-
gestion together and, since one of
the best assistants to digestion is a
good use of the teeth, let us calmly
sit down TO our dinner, rebuff any
whispers of wasted time by remem-
bering that if the body is not cared
for the mind and soul go wrong +;
that to eat and drink and sleep we'll
viii not only make us healthier and
handsomer, but, as a consequence,
smarter and better A good diges-
ton makes good man, and though
there may be demons who chew their
food well, there never waa angel
who did not masticate his.

A Mt. Carmel Hermit.

An old man named William Lin
derman has lived rs n hermit in the
mountains near Mt. Carmel for nine
teen years. There isn't any romance
ir his life. He is lazy and likes
squatting' The house he lives in is
an old and tumble-down shed with
out any 'tixings.' He has never
been OF railroad train in his life
and never saw an engine except from
the brow Of the mountain when he
watched the coal trains run up the
Natalie branch. Who he is, what
he was and where he came from is a
mystery. \ look at his face, worn
and haggard, almost makes one
shudder. The muscles seem afro
phied and decayed, and his speech,
when he can be induced to talk, is
thick aud brokcn. There lsn't a
scarp OF paper III the cabin. he
never reads, never smokes ; just sits
there aud gsZas ont on the bare and
almost barren mountain, waiting for
the final call into the great beyond.
