STABBED ON The STAGE.
Mrs. Potter Was Too Realistic as Char
lotte Corday.

Mrs. Potter Was Too Realistic as Char
lotte Corday.
NEW YORK, May 2l.-Marats earthly
career as portrayed by Kyrle Bellew came
near being ended owing to the surplus
muscular force, backed by tho dramatic
intensity, of Mrs. James Brown Potter,
tho Charlotte Corday in the play Of that
name which opened q week 3 run at the
American thenter last night.
Mrs. Potter and Mr. Belew, who have
achieved tho unusual distinction Of three
engagements in this city in one season,
appeared to unusual advantage last night
owing to a week S rest which renewed
their histrionio powers and which added
spirit and zest to their performance.
Mr. Bellew said yesterday in an inter
view that he was tired Of the namby
pamby society roles with which no had
been afflicted in seasons gone by and was
glad ho was to play moro yirilo part,
such as Marat AT the time Of tho inter
view he did not take into consideration
the fact that Mrs. Potter's powers as an
actress have increased greatly Of late, and
that her muscular development, though
slight, was yet excessive when engaged in
the pleasant task Of stabblng tho villain OF
the play.
She illustrated her prowess in this di-
reotion last night by stabbing Mr. Bellew
in the most approved melodramatio style.
il was in the scene where Marat takes a
bath-not in real water, Of course Neryed
by the stage wrongs Of the French stage
Charlotte Corday enters the apartments
OF Marat, unesoorted by even a chaperon.
She secs Marat in the bathtub, is filled
with ambition to be the heroine some day
Of play bearing her name and plunges a
cruel" knife "relentiessly" into the
''manly bosom" of Marat. Mrs. Potter
went through all this, including a num-
her Of emotions. and stabbed Marat with
true tragic fervor
Tho knife descended and Marat gave
an emphatic grunt Then Mrs Potter
grew pale, for down Marat's feshings
triekled drops Of blood--real blood. not
stage blood Then moro blood gushed
forth from between Mr.. Bellows ribs and
Mrs. Potter was getting real scared when
luckily the curtain was rung down.
Marat. although dramatically and his
torically dead walked to his dressing
room, where a doctor stopped the flow OF
blood, after which Mr.. Bellew dressed and
went home. lie had been stabbed in the
side with considerable force, but luckily
the dagger struck rib and so saved him
from serious injury. He is In no danger
and will probably BIO able to resume his
accustomed place on the stage tonight.

cARLIsLE,s SPEECH.


my Tic imposes the tonnage OF HilNef AT "a
Ratio Of 10 to /.
CovINeToN, Ky, May 2l-Secretary OF
the Treasury John G. Carlisle delivered
the first Of series Of addresses on sound
money hore before big audience He boz
gan with the surprising announcement
that he has no ambition whatever either
to shine again as United States senator
from kentucky or even become the oandi-
date Of his party for the presidency. Dur
ing the course OF his speech he said:
Those Of us who oppose the free coin
age Of silver at the ratio Of is to l are
proposing no change in the measure or
standard of value now existing, nor are
we proposing TO discontinue the use OF
silver as money, have never been and
am not now unfriendly to silver in the
sense Of desiring to see it excluded from
the monetary system of the United States
or of any other country, but / know that
1t cannot be kept in circulation along with
gold by means of any ratio the law OF any
one country may attempt 90 establish be-
tween the two metals, and that the only
way to secure the use Of both at tho same
time is TO mako one of them tho standard
Of value and so limit the coinage of the
other that the government which issues
them and receives them for public dues
may be able at all times to maintain their
exohangeability either directly or indirect
ly through the operation OF its fiscal sys-
tenn.
II am. therefore. in favor Of the preser-
walton Of the existing standard of value,
with such use Of full legal tender silver
coins and paper convertible into coin on
demand as can be maintained without im-
pairing or endangering the credit of the
government or diminishing the purcbas-
ing or debt paying power Of tho money in
the hands Of the people.
This is what | mean by the term
sound money, and in my opinion Ii Is
what Is meant by an overwhelming major
ity Of the opponents Of free coinage at the
ratio Of 16 to 1. This is neither gold mon
ometallism nor silver monometallism, but
il means that one standard or measure Of
value shall be maintained, and that all
forms OF standard coins in use shall be
kept equal to that standard in the pur-
chase Of commodities and in the payment
Of debts y
