Mhat Momen ourh. to Kesemble.

A philosopher says: There are three
things which good woman ought TO re-
semble in one particular, but not In an
other. Thus, she ought to be Ike the
snail, which always keeps in the house,
but she should not copy its example in
putting all she possesses on her back.
She should resemble the echo. which
never speaks unless spoken 70, but she
ought not. like the echo, always Try TO
have the last word. Lastly, she ought
to be true and correct as ;he town clock,
but she ought not, like the town clock,
to make noise enough to be heard all
over the Town.

AN UNKNOWN VESSEL LOST.
A Fisherman Finds Der sparS Alb owe the

A Fisherman Finds Der spars Alb Owe the
Water-Supposed to be the Riverside
CLEVELAND, O., October ga large
vessel, evidently a steamer, has gone
to the bottom of Lake Erie few miles
from this port. Who she is or when
she went down is mystery. Captain
Joseph Single OF the fishing tug, K. L.
Roy, made the startling discovery yes
terdav. He was running out to lift his
nets when he saw the spars OF a sunken
vessel protruding from the water.
There were three single stick spars
with white painted tops, each orna-
mented with gilt sphere. About 30
feet were exposed. The vessel is 20
mills from this port. Capt. Single TOOK
soundings and found that she was
lying in thirteen fathoms OF water.
Capt. Single is of the opinion that she
is large steamer. Her identity is
mystery. No vessels have been report
ed lost. The unknown must have gone
down since Friday, for her wreck was
seen on that day by boats passing the
spot. When she could have gone down
is mystery. All sorts OF theories are
advanced in regard to the wreck. One
of the most acceptable Of all is that
there was q collision between two large
vessels during the heavy fog Saturday
night. Inquiry among vesseI men this
morning failed to throw any light upon
the mystery. No vessels are reported
over due.
Later, ]. H. Jones. of the firm OF j.
M. Jones g. Bro, vessel agents, told an
Associated Press reporter that
the foundered boat was undouot-
edly his schooner Riverside. She has
been missing ever since the big storm
OF the 18th, and no tidings have been
cleaned from her since that time. The
Riverside was commanded by Capt.
David c. harrington, OF Detroit, and
his wife was cook on that boat. She
carried five other persons, all Of whom
are undoubtedly lost. The only names
that could be learned Of the missing
ones are Joseph Hargreaves, mate, his
John Hargreaves and John Paige, both
seamen.

His end was peaceful. He was uncon.
scious for some minutes before he died.
The last four years OF Mr.. Booths lifo
have been passed at the Players Club. in
comparative retirement During the sam.
mer months Of 1872 he spent considerable
time with his daughter at Narragansett
Beach, It was in the latter year, while
making his animal visit, that he was 20
seriously III at her home His frie, ds par.
ticularly solcious for his heath just at the
time, had grave apprehe nsions that he would
not have sufficient sire 9Th 10 warrant
attempting return to New York, but with
cooler weather came an Improvement in his
condition and he returned TO the Player.
Club in October. From this time those who
knew him most intimately remarked q
steady decline in his health.
CAREER or THE GREAT rRAGHpIAs.
Edwin Thomas Booth. the most eminent
OF the sons Of Junius Brutus Booth, was
born at Belair, near Baltimore, Nd, Noyem.
ber IL, 1883. and was trained for the dra.
matte profession. Having filled many minor
parts he made his appearance on ,he stage
M ''rressell" in Richard Ilr' in IS49. and
performed the character OF Richard ILL.,"
In place OF his father. who had been sudden.
ly taken ILL., in IL ]. After a tour through
California, Australia and the Sandwich
Islands he reappeared at New York in 1857,
visited England and the continent In 1851
and returning to New York commenced a
series OF Shnkesperean reviyals at the Win.

ment was totally destroyed by fire. March

Mr.. Booth lost his valuable wardrobe con.
tanning relics Of his father, Kemble and Mrs
Siddons.
Mr.. Booth. afrer n series OF successful en-
gagenents In Bo-ton. Philadelphia and
other large cities, commenced in 1868 the
erection OF new theatre in New York,
which, in the perfection Of its arrangements
and the completeness OF all its appoint.
ments, surpassed any other theatrical edifice
in the United States. IL was opened in 1870
and was liberaIly patronzed, but the cost OF
the building in which Mr. Booth had in
vested all his means, prevented ultimate
pecuniary success, and IN 1873 it passed
from his hands.
