Mary Anderson as n Singer.
From Leslie's Weekly.

Madame de Navarro, who Is none other
than our beautiful American actress,
Mary Anderson, of a former day, recently
participated as a vocalist in concert at
the sleepy old English village of Broad
way, in the Cotswods, where she lives.
Hence the rumor wholly unsubs tantiated,
OF her intention to re-enter public life IS
a singer At Broadway, Miss Anderson
has congenial friend and neighbor In
Miss Maud Valerie White, the composer,
VINO has taken great interest in the de-
velopment of the actress singing voice-a
full and deep contralto flexible and of fine
timbre. When Miss White organized her
concert at the Lyon Arms-an antique
hostelry with memories of King Charles
and Cromwell-Miss Anderson readily con-
scented to assist. The brilliant crowd Of
country gentry, loyal Broadwayites, and
enthusiastic Americans who attended ex-
pected to make due allowance for an
amateur; but the fair singer treated them
TO genuine surprise. Here" says the
London Sketch reporting the event, was
dramatic fire. variety of expression, and,
above all, deep sense of musical proprie-
ty. The applause was as sincere as it
seemed grateful to the singer No need to
ask whether Madame de Navarro was
pleased. Her face told the tale. In her
dress of pale-green silk, graceful and lis
som as of yore, she looked as young as
wien she hrst capllVateu England . Heah'
as Perdita or Juliet. The face of the sue
cessful artist is seldom entirely pleasing
when in repose; there Is almost Invariably
spoiled selfish look, some suggestion OF
pettishness or regret. But Miss Anderson
is unspoiled by her success, and one may
verify believe that her self-imposed Sc
clusion has brought with It no heart
burnings. She lives between her domestic
cares the delights Of social life, and the
consultations of the little chapel, whose
altar she is as proud to adorn as she was

Death of Ross Brown.

The body OF Ross Brown OF Clinton,
who fell from a boat 10 Hayden Lake,
the evening of June 30th, was found
floating upon the surface OF the water,
Tuesday evening the 9Th instant, not far
from the eastern shore by Gates Har.
vile of East NJ adison. Mr.. Harville and
wife were out fishing when the body
was found. H. towed it TO East Madr
son landing whore it was taken from the
water, cared for and afterward taken By
Mr.. K. Wifham and conveyed in his
steamer 10 Lakewood Inn. Coroner l..
A. Addition was summoned, viewed the
body but deciding that no Inquest was
necessary, the body was taken in charge
by Folsom & Varney, underwriters, and
Yesterday WAS taken TO Clinton for
burial.
The circumstances attending the sad
event, from careful inquiry we fiad to be
as follows:
Shortly after o'clock, Wednesday
evening, Ross Brown, Morris tlougb,
George Sawyer and Elmer Newell en-
gagged boat belonging to Mr.. Delano OF
Lakewood Inn and went TO place called
Cedar Point. There these young men
tished until dark and then at the sug-
gestion of one of the party they started
TO row to East Madison, a distance Of
Oh a u
there Mr.. Brown offered to relieve young
Newell, who told him that he could get
all the rowing he wanted on the return
trip from East Madison. Brown then
rolled up his fishing line, took a cigar out
of his pocket, lighted it and then arose
from his seat to a STOPPING position with
his arms drawn up and fell forward over
the side into the water, sank and did not
come TO the surface or in sight of his
companions after he fell in. The boat
was Immediately stopped and Brown not
appearing to the surface Sawyer stripped
off his outer clothing and dove three
times without success. After remaining
there about 20 minutes the young men
rowed to the hotel, gave the alarm and
Charles Fairbrother and others fired up
the steamer, going to the scene of
the accident as nearly as they could de-
termine, cruising around there for several
hours but without avail. Search was
continued for several days, Mr.. j. H.
knight of Richmond, diver, being en-
ployed, until Saturday when the search
was abandoned.
The morning tfter the event occurred
Coroner l.. A. Addition of this town
being notified went to Madison Centre
and East Madison. He questioned the
three young men separately and they all
concurred in giving the circumstances
as narrated above, He also examined
the body as soon as he could get there
after being notified and stated to the RE-
PORTER that there was nothing whatever
about the body to indicate foul play, In
this Mr.. w. 5. Varney, the undertaken,
concurred. They also concur in the
theory that Mr.. Browns death was
caused by heart disease.

London's Mud Diet.

There is nothing like dealing with
large figures, and no doubt the statement
by scientific person that Londoners
drink in the course of q year l, 900 tons
CT mud will appear to many to disclose
q terrible and most dangerous state OF
things. Nothing could be further from
the truth. a Thousand tons of mud
would mean, perhaps, about half
pound of mud to each person. 1t will DO
certainly not too much to assume that
each half pound Of mud does not con-
tain moro than two ounces of solid
matter, probably much less. Now 1t Is
certain that in the course of the three
or four windy days in March each per-
son in the air all dag will draw III fully
an ounce Of dust, as much as he will
swallow in water during six months.
A railway traveller who takes few
hours Journey in dry weather has but
to look at the state Of his coat and OF
the carriage seat to form al idea OF the
amount Of dust that must have entered
his mouth, the majority Of which Oh
touching the palate and tongue is con-
verified into mud AID swallowed. Thus,
then, it will be seen at once how many
enthusiastically small and how absolute
IL innocuous is the daily portion Of this
COO tous CT mud swallowed by Lon
Goncrs and how little cause there is fer
alarm in the array Of figures piled up
by the scientific investigator, who may
frighten weak minded people, but does
not in the slightest degree affect the
ordinary man or excite in him any feel
ing whatever save Indifference.

81 have heard and read more pathetic
stories, - said Senator Hear the other
day, "but none CT them ever awoke so
much sad sympathy as one which Pro-
fessor GallauGet related. The professor
has favorite pupil-a little deaf mute
boy, exceptionally bright. Mr. Gallau-
Diet asked him if he knew the story OF
George Washington and the cherry tree.
With his nimble fingers the little one
said he did, and then proceeded to re-
peat it The noiseless gesticulations
continued until the boy had informed
the professor of the elder Washington's
discovery of the mutilated tree and OF
his quest for the mutilator. When
Georges father asked him who hacked
his favolite cherry tree, signaled the
voiceless child, George put his Ratchet
in his left hand Stop, interrupted
the professor Where did you get your
authority for saying he took the Ratchet
in his left hand?' why, responded the
boy, he needed his right hand to tell
his father that he cut the tree. -

about eighty feet above the level Of the

with water. The pitch at the sides
is perfectly hard and cold, but as one
walks toward the middle the heat grad

softer and softer. At last it Is seen
boiling up in a liquid state and the air
is strongly impregnated with bitumen

DR.. A, much flattered, made the
appointment and bowed his patient to
the door. Next day the unhappy hus-
band and a stylish and handsome
young woman presented themselves at
the physicians residence.
They were formally ushered into the
library, where the gems Of the great
mans collection were enshrined. The
conversation was turned at once on the
objects OF art and DR.. A., with won
derful subtlety, %conversed on an
tiQuities while obtaining material for
his diagnosis. He brought out his
treasures wonderful coins, with
strange inscriptions, a bracelet of gold
curiously wrought and inscribed, a
silver statuette modelled by Benvenuto
Cellini-historic rarities on which he
discanted with much graceful learn
ing. Every now and then the lady
slipped into her pocket or dropped into
her parasol a coin. a jewel, a vase.
and as she did so her husband winked
at DIR. A to draw attention to her
theft. When the physician finally
gave the signal that he had learned all
he required she had accumulated the
rarest of his possessions and yet pre-
pared to depart with an inimitable as
surance Of manner.
"Ill be back within an hour" said
the Chicago banker, with those things

he burst out. Doctor, my fortune,

her." He fed after his spouse. han

prospects Of a big fee in his mind, re-
turned to his patients.
Two hours passed, then three, then
the interval heightened to five. DR..
A, rather alarmed, sent his servant
to the Americans hotel to save him
the trouble Of returning the missing
jewels. The servant returned. No
person Of the name was stopping there.
