In Washington at the time the body of
John Wilkes Booth was supposed to have
been brought up on a steamboat plying
on the Potomac river. This supposed
body of Booth was lying on the bow of the
boat covered with a sheet. When the
Washington dock was reached q pho
tographer was called and requested to
take a photograph of the actor as
he lay dead on the steamboat deck.
The photographer, unfortunately for
the interested parties, was init
mately acquainted with John Wilkes
Booth and had probably taken more pho
toGraphs of him than any photographer in
Washington. When the camera was
placed in position and the sheet removed
from the face of the corpse the artist
burst into a laugh and remarked that the
man on the deck of the boat was no more
John Wilkes than he was. After this as
sertion the photographer was dismissed
ana another photographer sent for who
did the work without making any re-
marks or asking any questions. Edwin
Booth appeared on the scene about this
time and demanded the body of his dead
brother, but was refused or even allowed
TO give 1t n Christian burial. After the
authorities had refused TO permit the
family to bury the corpse 1t was given
out that 1t had been sunk in the middle of
the night in the Potomac river by two Off
GERS who had tied a cannon ball to il in
order that 1t might not rise TO the sur |
face Such pictorial papers at Harper's |
Weekly and Frank Lsslie'S had illustrations |
OF the officers referred to doing the work |
indicated. 1t was subsequently given out,
however, that John Wilkes Booth was |
buried in the penitentiary lot Mt WASH
lngton. After years had elapsed and
Edwin Booth had made his name as the
greatest living actor, the government au-
thorities consented 10 his taking the body
from the Washington prison lot and

depositing 1t in the family burying ground
at Baltimore. John Wilkes Booth had n
front tooth plugged in a peculiar style
and for which he was noted wherever he
| appeared. To satisfy the family the
! corpse which was turned over to Edwin
Booth for that of John Wilkes had been
taken up and tooth plugged in a SINH
| lar manner to that for which John Wilkes
was noted. When the body was inferred
in the family burying ground in Baltimore
L acted as one of the pail bearers. As YOU
are no doubt aware a PERSONS hair never
changes after death. but, if anything, il
grows. Well, John Wilkes Booths hair
was jet black while the hair of the BODY
we buried was brown and if you will take
the trouble to go out to the family bury
ing plot you will easily observe from the
inscription on the tombstone which Edwin
had erected to the memory of his favorite
brother that he had no idea that John
Wilkes Booth lies beneath the soil of that
locality at least.
"This case came pretty near SATISFYING
me-" said the narrator, "that John
Wilkes Booth had never been captured,
but went further after this conversation
and followed every clue possible to dis
cover whether or no the celebrated actor
was dead man. On my arrival at

The company which will present Mrs.
Musgrave's exquisite comedy "Our Flat"
at Maguire's opera house on Monday
evening for three nights and matinee is
composed of excellent material. 1t is
doubtful IL stronger or better comedy
company exists in America. Miss Emily
Bancker has won renown throughout the
United States as a beautiful woman and
an accomplished and finished actress
For three years she played leading female
roles with the late Rosina Vokes, during
which time she established herself as
strong favorite as the captivating
Rosina Vokes. Her advancement was
watched closely by prominent managers
who in the meantime were making her
tempting offers and her services were
finally secured by Charles Frohman who
cast her for leading role in his original
New York production. For three seasons
she remained under Mr.. Frohman's man
agement and made pronounced hits in all
characters for which she was cast. Last
season she was sent on a tour as star of
"Glorana." Miss Bancker now comes
forward as the charming Margery Syl-
vester in Our Flat" role for which she
is eminently suited.
In addition TO Miss Bancker the cast in
cludes such well known people as Philip
ii. Ryley, comedian known all over the
country; George w. Parsons, an actor of
much ability, who made such an immense
success in the leading part in "Gloriaua"
last season. He has added much to his

1t is doubtful if there is another opera
house in the country where the first act Of
every performance is so persistentIv and
thoroughly ruined by people coming in
late as at Maguire's. There are those OF
a certain class of theatergoers who would
doubtless consider il a breach of Tho
proper thing If they couldn't discommodo
everybody in the house by waikin,
through the aisles, compelling whole rows
OF people to get out 10 admit them u
their seats and prevent everybody from
seeing what IS going on on the stage. II
Is the habitual thing with some poo,le
and II IS notable fact that they are we'll
dressed-particularly well dressed
ciety people. and this fact is. perhaps. m.
only reason they have for getting in late.
1t Is a fact, however. that most people IN
the audience care less. perhaps. for the
fashionable dresses of these late corners
than they do for the performance on the
stage.

losing their way in the forest encounter
and destroy a wicked witch who lives in a
gingerbread house and entices little chill
dren into it by fallacious promises of
sweetmeats. The scenery Is gorgeous and
the music striking throughout. The over
ture is in the manner of that of Tam
hauser, microcosm of the whole work.
Inc themes are woven and blended in n
style which reminds one forcibly of WaC-
ner, although there is plenty of orici-
nality, too. When the children are lost
IN the wood the music becomes highly de.
scriptive, and one critic declares that
these scenes are not surpassed for poetry
even by the second act of Siegfried.
Phantom forms appear in the bushes, and
the uncanny rocks strike terror to the
hearts of the children. In the next act,
as soon as they have tasted of the witch's
goodies, there is a transformation scene.

she herself are ugly and squalid 1t is n

ADDITIONS no THE ENGLISH Navy
The Most Formidable warships Built
Within One Year,

The New York Sun gives the follow
ing information about the recent formid-
able additions to the British naval power
Perhaps the most remarkable fact
about the launch of the Majestic at
Portsmouth the other day, was the evil
dence il afforded Of the rapidity with
which naval construction is now carried
on in England. She is an enormous
barbette battleship, 800 feet long, 75
feet in extreme breadth, and with a
$4,000 tons; and yet, although her keel
had been laid only on February 9th,
1894, she touched the water January
3lst, 1895, the interval being five days
less than year.
Her sister ship, the Magnificent,
which was Launched at Chatham on
December 10th last, was also wonder
of rapid construction, her keel having
been laid December 18th, 1893; but the
Majestic now beats that record. While
these two vessels are the largest British
warships ailoat, there are others OF the
same class coming along, including the
Mars, the Jupiter, the Caesar, the
Hannibal, the Prince George, the Illus
trious, and the Victorious. TO find such
ships, Of about $4,000 tons displacement
built up from the keel plates, ready for
launching, in about year, certainly
iustiiies the recent statement of British
authority, that England can wait to see
what new ships her rivals annually
authorize, and then design and complete
ahead of them vessels suited to meet
them.
These battlcships of the Majestic type
carry four l2-inch, IL quick-iire 6-inch,
IL 12.pounder, and IL 3.pounder guns;
are to make IL knots with natural and
III with forced draught, and have par
| tial belts of HarveyGd steel armOr. They
are not equal in weight of armament or
| armor protection to our THO of the
| Indiana class, which have but l0,2sS
| tons displacement, but they arc designed
to be faster and to have greater stcanl-
| ing radius. A closer parallel to them il
furnished by our Iowa, Of Ii, 4l0 tons
| displacement, which carries four l2.inch
guns, eight S-lnch, and six rapid fire
4.inch, with 20 6.pounders, six /.
Founders, and four Gatlings in the
secondary battery.
The new British battleships, 1t must
be remembered, follow directly upon
eight others almost as large, of ovel
$4,000 tons displacement the Roya
Sovereign, Royal Oak, Repulse, Revenge
Resolution, Families, Hood and Empires:
Of India. These latter carry four 10!
inch guns, 10 rapid-tire 6-inch, 8;
smaller pieces and seven torpedo tubes
There arc also in construction the pal
of l4,200-ton projected cruisers, Power
full and Terrible, with their enormous
10000 horsepower each at nutura
draught, and scores Of other vessels, hi,
and little. 1t is well to note these facts
now that the bill for our more modes
provision Of battle ships and torpedo
boats is before Congress.

A BLUND ERING DUGHE sS.
Formerly IL washerwoman and Viyandier'
at Court Reception.

A recent republication of the memoirs
of lady of the Empress Josephine's
court includes some amusing stories of
that unique and delightful lady, for
merly washerwoman and vivandiere,
the Duchess Of Dantzig, wife OF Marshal
Lcfebvre.
She presented herself one evening at
a grand court reception in gorgeous
gown loaded with remarkable variety
Of decoration-silver, gold, pearls, dia-
monds, flowers and Notwithstanding
with childish simplicity and satisfaction
that she wished TO wear ornaments OF
all Sorts"
Upon this same occasion the cham
berlain on duty, Monsieur dc Beau
mont, announced her rs MADAME la
MARKETABLE Lefebvre" only, accidentally
emitting her more recent title. Ma.
poleon thereupon advanced and greeted
her by asking, with emphasis; "tIow
do you dc, Madame la Marechale,
Duchess of DantzigW
Before even answering the Emperor,
the Duchess turned back with laugh
and wink toward the neglectful cham
berlain, and called out to him gleefully.:
AHA I! That's slap at you, my lad %
Another time, when housed hunting in
the most fashionable part OF Paris, she
was shown over an elegant mansion
which she had almost decided to buy.
Coming to one room, surrounded with
bookcases lined with green silk, she
inquired, whats that z"
MADAME In Marcchale, It'll library"
"What's the good of it?"
"'lu hold books, madame"
"Goodness me, what trash My hus.
band don't read; no more don't !, SO III
make this my fruit room; l can't dc
better"
But the rustic duchess, if she never
conquered the mysteries of either gram
mar Or etiquette, did conquer the re
spect and often the admiration even Of
those who laughed ut her blunders; FOL
she was woman OF excellent common
| sense and noble heart.
