LAST ROSE OF SUMNER = Constant Reader,
Menlo Park, Cal. Some time ago an answer
was given in this department to the effect that
a story that had in the past been going round
setting forth that Emma Abbott, on her last
visit In San Francisco, had sung "The Last
Rose of Summer TO young man who was
dying of consumption, at his request was
probably fiction, and the answer was based
on the fact that the same story had been pub
lished in many OF the Eastern papers, each one
declaring that it had occurred in the city OF
publication and in each instan e 1t was cred
tied to different singer. Since then THIS de-
partment has received communication from
q friend, in which made the assertion that
the song was sung by Miss Abbott to Philip J.
Boost when he was dying, ana tnat MS
brother, J. Boost, now living in this City, on
Twenty-fifth street, still has the leaves OF the
rose torn apart by the prima donna when she
sang the sweet words of Tom Moore. Another
friend has submitted copy OF letter written
by Boost in San Francisco, December 19, 1890.
1t was addressed to his father and mother,
who were living in the East, and in 1t he
wrote:
Do you reme ember, mother, when you were out
here and went TO the Bush-streeI Theater TO see
Herman? Emma Abbott occupied one of the
boxes that evening. She is now playing at the
Baldwin Theater with her opera company. |

called me few days back, ano as we were
like 10 hear Miss 81 bbott sing the sLast Rose Of
Summer" Now, she said nothing TO Miss Abbott,
but in a round about way Miss Abbott heard of
my remark and said that If could not come to
the opera-house | should hear the song anyway,
for she cou d come up to my room and sing it for
me; and, sure enough, yesterday afternoon she
came up and spent half hour with me. she
brou hit some roses and viole and sang "The
Last Rose summer" 1t must be heard as sung
by her to be con pretended its beauty and
melody 1 cannot describe In singing the song
she pulled iose apart, leaf by lie and then let
them drop TO the floor. | send you in this letter
some of the leaves and OF the violets she
gave She is kind womanly woman, and
treated like old friend and cried because she
could do thing for me.
Young Boost died in this City a short time
after Miss Abbott sang the song to him.

QUEER E. ECl4ON BETS.
ONE DALLAS MAN MUST WEAR THE OTHERS
GARMENTS.
ID In..=
Boston Journal.


There are two men in Dallas. Tex, who are
as different in their build as they are in their
politics. One is Mckinley gold man, and the
other is Bryan silverite. One is short and
fat, not more than feet inches in height,
although he weighs rather more than $50
pounds. The other is as slim as rail, and
could make money as living skeleton in a
dime museum, as he is 8 feet 2 inches in
height.
The two men are great friends, however, and
one day, while engaged in the luxury of a
joint debate on the issues Of the day, the fat
man proposed with the thin man that they
make wager. The terms proposed were that
If Mckinley won the fat man was TO wear a
suit of the thin mans clothes for q month,
while, on the other hand if Bryan were to
come out at the top of the poll, the thin man
would wear The others clothes for the same
length of tme
The friends are very much interested in the
outcome of the novel wager, although it is
suggested that the thin man has rather the
except at least as much as the average bicycler
exposes, while the fat man could not get into
the thin mans raiment without bursting it.
Over in Walsenburg, Colo, where there are
coal mines and where humor takes very
practical form and joke often implies a

Tom Carberry--have made most peculiar

20-foot shaft, and, deiaching the bucket,
take the rope n his teeth and allow the win
ner to draw him to the surface by means of
the windlass. The only condition imposed on
the winner is that he shall use as much care,
expedition and caution as he would in bring
