TRIBUTE TO NORTON.

Manager Henderson,, OF Detroit,
Speaks i'm High Terms of Him.
DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 29.--'I have known
John W. Norton" said Manager David
Henderson to-day, "for fully twenty-five
years. i first knew him as a member of
Edwin Booths stock company in New York
city, where he played the lighter legitimate
roles in the repertoire of that company
with great success. He was connected after
that in management with the late Tom
Davy, of Detroit. He was also the first
manager of Mary Anderson. and it was to
his instructions that she owed great deal
of her success. Mr.. Norton was born in
New York. He began his career as an
actor in that city in the days when the
combination system was utterly unknown.
1T is doubtful IL the demise of any one
in the theatrical profession in this country
to-day would create such widespread SYM
pathy as will the death of Mr.. Norton. 1
don't believe that in the theatrical pro-
fesson he had an enemy. This is saying a
very great deal In his day he was the
friend ana associate of every actor and
actress of prominence in the theatrical
business. This covers period of ABOUT
thirty years. He a liberal man and "a
most charitable one, not only with his
purse to help the needy, but in his speech
he kindly CLOSED over the weaknesses of
his fellow-actors He has not left much ex-
cept kindly memories behind him.

between Chauncey M. Depew, of the New
York Central road, and Speaker of the As
sembly Fish resulted in the settling of the
pass question for Senators at least, so far
as the manner of providing transportation
is concerned. Mr.. Depew was firm in the
opinion that there was way in which
the constitutional objection could be over
come to allow the legislators to either
travel on passes or to accept certificate
equal to a pass from the Secretary of State.
Together with. Speaker Fish, he decided
that the only way to prevent legislators
from having to spend the larger part of
their salaries for railroad fare was to have
a bill passed allowing the members mileage.
He said that the railroads were willing to
aid in the matter by honoring the mileage
certificates of members when signed by the
controller of that company, that the
State would lose nothing by the operation.
A bill embodying the views of Mr.. Depew
