4 Story Of tho Great Actor and LAwrsnss
Barrett's Death.

Barrett's Desth.
The sudden death Of Lawrence Barrett
was great shock and q great surprise to
Booth. His friend had recovered from the
serious operation performed year or two
before, and he was seemingly in robust
strength, likely long to outlive Booth,
who was beginning to become conscious
of his own physical decay. They were
playing together a successful engagement
In New York when Barrett was taken Ill
aud was Obliged to leave the theater before
the close of the performance. The next
night he did not appear, and the third
night his name was taken out of the bill.
Booth, who had no thought of anything
serious. asked Mr.. Bromley, the manager.
to call at the Windsor hotel and see how
Lawrence was getting on"
An hour later Booth was sitting at his
supper Of bread and milk In the grillroom
OF The Players when Mr.. Bromley en-
tered and said simply and seriously, "Mr.
Barrett has gone" Booth. still suspect
ing nothing, asked, "Where tor suppos-
ing that Mrs. Barrett had carried her hus-
band of to their home In Boston. He was
naturally very much depressed for some
time. Indeed he never fully recovered
from the blow. He closed his theater at
once, although no continued the salaries
Of his company, and finally he played a
short engagement In Brooklyn, which
proved, az SO many OF his friends feared,
his last.
During this engagement a copy Of the
death mask Of Barrett was sent to the club.
1t came In as Booth was starting out for
the theater. He saw 1t In the hall, learned
from whom Is had come and told the boy
in charge to carry 1t up stairs" The lad.
not understanding the order, took 1t to
Booth 8 own room, removed the wrappings
and placed 1t on small table by Booth &
bed. And there when he went up stairs
and turned on the electric lights, In all
the CHASTITY whiteness OF the fresh plaster,
he found 1t, 4 was, II possible, great
or shock to hlln than was the death OF
Barrett itself.-I4aurence Hutton In Har.

.rlsila1 hes rir ths Oivil War.
When the civil war broke out, an I'm
mense meeting was held In Bridgeport.
Conn.,, and many men volunteered Tor the
army. To tbs general surprise one OF the
richest men A 10 stete, Elias Howe, the
inventor q thp segv1pg machine, arose
and made this bsief speech:
EVERY man - called upon to do what
he can for HE country. / don't know
what can do unless IL Is to enlist and
serve as private In the Union army. I
want no positinn- / am willing TO learn
and do whst can with musket."
But u rsoop proved that the chronic
lameness fsom wfbeh Howe suffered In
capacitatedt him from marching with q
musket, even to the extent of standing
sentry. Detsr1nined TO be of use, how

boots which he needed during the rainy
winter.
For four months after the Seventeenth
Connections entered the field the govern
ment was SO pressed for money thnt no
payment to the troops could be made, and
there was consequently great suffering
among the families of the soldiers and
painful anxiety endured by the men them
selves.
One day a private soldier came quietly
into the paymaster's office in Washington
and took his seat in the corner to await
his turn for an interview. Presently the
officer said:

Joel Chandler Harris.

In a recent sketch of Joel Chandler
Harris, the creator of Uncle Remus, 1t
is said that he is somewhat under middle
height and carries himself with a decided
stoop, which makes him appear shorter
than he Is. His body Is rotund and he
walks with steady stride. His complex
ion Is rudy, his eyes are light blue and his
hair and mustacho are light and sandy.
His greatest passion is roses, and In the
early morning, when tho dew Is on tho
grass, one can hear the shipping of the
pruning shears as Mr.. Harris works In his
garden-the finest rose garden In Atlanta.

experiments. lie will establish farms in
the various sections One of these will
be located somewhere on the southern
coast, one at Cook Inlet, one on Kadiak
island, and one in the neighborhood OF
Circle City. Each will be devoted to the
culture of cereals and vegetables that are
known to thrive in similar soil
and climate elsewhere. IN some
parts of Alaska almost any kind
Of vegetation will thrive that grows in
the far northern states. On the Teller
reindeer reservation, near Bering straits,
potatoes as large as hens eggs are raised
every summer, and on the Yukon, not far
from Circle City, colony has successfully
cultivated all the hardy cereals and vari.
ous kinds Of vegetables, although the
plough that prepares the ground for po

At no time does the thaw at that point
go deeper than two feet, but the sun
shines so continuously and fercely up

more npidly than in the states.

Both Sides Fighting for Every Point
in the Game.

Spokane, June 27.-Last Thursday suit
was filed by Senator Turner against the
other Stockholders The senator charges
these parties with trying to dispose Of
his interest in the lie Roi mine and other
assets of the lie Roi Mining and Smelling
Company at a price far below its true
value, and he prays for an injunction
restraining the company from holding n
meeting for the purpose of disposing OF
the stock. Judge Prather issued tenn
porary Injunction returnable June IS,
and bond was furnished by the plaintiff
in the sum of $4,000 with himself Col
onel W. NJ. Ridpath and f. d. Sanders as
security.
Events in the attempt to prevent the
sale of the lie Roi mine moved quickly
yesterday. At times they approached the
dramatic.
In the early hours of the morning the
books and records of the company went
speeding northward to Rossland on a spe-
cial engine over the Spokane Falls &
Northern hallway.
Last evening Senator Turner and the
other members of the opposition, learning
that the transfer of the property would
likely he made today, procured from
Judge Richardson Of the superior court a
restraining order restraining Colonel Tur.
ner, Colonel Peyton, l.. +. Williams and
d. w. Henley from transferring the prop
erty, and the papers were put in the
hands OF Deputy Sheriff Burch for SER
vice.
Getting wind Of this, Colonel Peyton
drove out to Mead, station on the Spo-
kane Falls & Northern nine miles north
of Spokane, TO avoid service and inter
eept a special train that he and the rep
resentatives OF the British America Cor
poration, the prospective purchasers, had
chartered to go to Rossland.
At l0:30 o'clock last night this train,
which consisted Of a special engine and
private car, was all ready TO start. just
before the moment of starting Deputy
Sheriff Burch appeared at the depot with
the restraining order. The men he most
wanted TO serve ii on were inside the car.

it was of no avail. The last seen OF the

Senator Turner arrived in the city at
4:30 o'clock yesterday morning in the
delayed Northern Pacific. He was busy
all day with his associates in fighting the
proposed deal. This morning he left for
Rossland, 1t is expected he and his ad
herents will tap the wires early today
and try to invoke the aid of the British
Columbia court To prevent the deal going

SAID TOO MUCH FOR HIS GOOD
How seIf-Praise Kept n Man From
Obtaining a Position.

The danger of saying too much is al
ways more imminent than that of saying
too little. The man who is convinced
he has Appropriated the virtues Of the
Creator, and insists upon it TO his fellow
men, is always more offensive than the
man, who secretly believes it, but spares
his acquaintance the knowledge of the
awful truth.
A story recently related to repre-
sentative of Hardware by the head Of a
large hardware house in New York, illus
tretes the case in point. Something of
this merchants disposition may be
cleaned from the fact that, when speak
ing of his employees, he says 1.-THE boys" ;"
with an aiTectionate intonation, born Of
long appreciation Of their good points,
and Kind liberation for their occasional
errors.
II wns the iptsation of the house to
put another representative on the road,
and the man they had in view had been
favorably, though not thoroughly, known
to them for a long time. Negotiations
were about concluded and the signing OF
I
remunerative contract by the salesman
was regarded by him as mere matter OF
form. At final interview with his pros
pective employer, and evidently with the
idea Of further impressing the latter with
his desirability, he said: "Mr. -, / am
an older man than you. have been in
this business for twenty-five years, and /
wish to add that | have never made a
mistake"
As the would-be employer reached out
on his desk in an distracted manner, and
gathered in the unsigned contract, which
he slowly tore up in the same absent
minded manner, he remarked that it was
source of keen regret to him that he
simply couldn't afford to employ such a
valuable man; that there was not man
connected with the house, from himself
to the dago who sorted the refuse paper
every morning, who was not constantly
making mistakes and profiting by the ex-
perience; and that the direct result Of
the placing of a perfect man among the
force would be immediate decentralization.
As the perfect man slowly wended his
weary way up the street it probably oc-
CURED to him that he had smashed a
beautiful record.
