To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The proposition to either spread the tracks

The Old system was handy and safe when the

LIKELY TO DIE TODAY.

Edwin Booth Sinks Into Unconsc;ousnes s,
From Which He Will Not Emerge.
NEW YORK, June 6.-TLe following bulletin
this morning:
"The-e has been no change in Mr.. Booths
condition since midnight. He has been un-
conscious since Monday.
''ST. GLAZE SMITH. N. D."
1t ia no. thought possible that Booth can live
longer than midnight. and 1t is extremely
doubtful if he can survive until then.
Already he is practically dead and has been
since he became unconscious. He lies on mis-
back most of the time, one hand and arm
other stretched stiff out by his side.
He has wasted away to nero no....-
ing of his former self. His race is sunhen
and caaaverous with wide purple black rings
beneath the eyes. He breathes at times
in .sasps as if struggling for the
life-giving air, and again his exhalation
and inhalation Of oxygen is slight
tn alarm his attendants, and until treasured
BY hearing the very faint beat OF his cart they
think he is dead. 1t was after such a moment
that Mr.. Grossnan declared yesterday tia. the
great actor would expire in a few minutes.
Mr.. Booths natural vitality alone il keeping
him alive. Any kind o. solid food has not
passed his lips Tor days. and now modicum o,
beef tea. some kumyss and distilled Poland
water to drink. is the only nourishment he can
take at all.
The actors friends now think that mistake
was made in not taking him a: once to the sea-
side when he rallied after the last attack on
April ~. They say that he might still have a
chance with the pure sea air at Narragansett. bat
that this surtry weather will hasten his death
in his room at the Piayers Club.
DR.. Smith is sorry that his patient must re-
main where he is now. The physician will not,
however, commit himself by giving an opinion
as to whether Mr.. Booth would have had a
better chance of recovery, or longer lease Of
life at the seaside or not. 1t is useless to dis
cuss probabilities now. he declares. as Mr.
Booth is rapidly passing away.

at 10 a. m, and said that Booth would not re-
cover consciousness.
