BROOKLYN, March S.-Nat Goodwin
has been on an almost continuous spree
for two months While playing "The
Gilded Fool" at the Park theater Wed
nesday night he was unable to finish the
performance. He managed to get
through the first act with difficulty,
and when the curtain went down on it he
refused to continue the performance.
Colonel Sim. one of the proprietors of
the theater; made an address from one OF
the boxes in which he said MIR. Goodwin
had been taken suddenly i'll and was un-
able to get on with the performance.
He somewhat recovered from his jag.
It seems that the actor has been indulg-
ing in cherry colored fluid since Satur-
day last. Yesterday he spent at the
Waldorf. and in the afternoon engaged
in a row with Lorillard Kip, a young
man about town, who had been involved
in several scrapes. Kip invited Good
win out on the sidewalk, and Nat ac-
cepted the invitation. They stood in the
street for ten minutes looking at each
other. and then decided it was too cold
to fight. Goodwin offered to ''set 'em
up" and peace was declared on the spot.

large audience last night upon southern
developments and the needs ofthe south.
What the southern states needed, he
said, was a bold, frank and manly sup

sound money principles and the honest
dollar. He said he was for free silver,
but the silver dollar coined must be all
honest silver.
The entire address was an earnest ap-
peal for sound and honest money, for
without such conditions the unbounded

They VIII Make No Nominations for City
OfHces-Populists May.
A meeting of the Democratic city CEN
tral committee has been called for next
Monday evening The business which
calls the committee together is to decide
whether candidates for the various city
offices are to be named.
Lee Jones, the chairman Of the COM
mittee, is not in favor of making any
nominations. "fhere is no use in doing
sO," said he. fsWe will do better to have
nothing to do with this campaign as
party. l do not believe that the Demo
Gratis will make any nominations this
spring"
Mike Heery is not in favor of a
ticket, and says that nominations will
only widen the breach in the city De-
mocracy.
No one was found who is in favor of a
ticket, and it is safe to say that there will
be no Democratic ticket in the field.
Bot below this sentiment there is
another which has not yet fully risen to
the surface. The Populists have been
holding conferences which they see fit
to call citizens meetings, and they talk

name a committee to unite with them in
the call for a mass meeting to nominate

Each member of the municipal league
pledges himself not to carry politics
into city elections.
Jones thinks that the Democratic com

and it may do SO. Lee thinks ''indepen-
