The Death of keene.

~HIS mornings brief
ment of the death of Thomas
Keene will be received regretful-
ly by those whose privilege it has been
to come under the spell Of his dramatic
power. The men who at this time are
strong In the heroic roles are so few In
number that the dramatic world can
III afford to spare those whose merit is
OF high order.
Keene was a native of New York city
he was born October rs. 1s40; at the
age of t~wenty-six he made his first APP
pearance, professionally. at Albany. as
King Henry w.. in Shakespeare's play
OF that name, J.. H.. Hackett playing
Falstaf. In 1872 and during the follow
ing two years. he was leading man at
the California theater, which was at
that time the foremost stock-company
theater in the United States, the COM
pany comprising such artists as John
Mccullough. John Raymond, Harry Ed
wards, Walter Leman. Bill Mestayer,
Harry Coad, Fred Franks, A. ]. Buck
ley, f.. j. Thayer, Mrs. Sanders, Mrs.
Judah, Sophie Edwin. Winnie Walton,
May Howard and many others. Such a
galaxy of talent has not been known
In any other theater in America. Keene
was leading man. playing opposite parts
to John Mccullough. who was the stock
star.
In 1876. Mccullough having left the
California to star. keene was absolute
leader OF the stock. Through cheap
management the company began TO
grow weaker. Zola's novel, L'Assomoir.
a just been published and dramatized.
Keene played Coupeau, which was a
great character part. and made a tre-
mendous hit. Keene was more OF a
character actor than a tragedian, and
while he made his reputation In tragedy
yet, In the memory of those who knew of
his best work, his character impersona-
tions will always stand u in bold re-
lief. 1t is this quality so em~inently
manifested in his impersonation OF
Richard Ill. that gained him the repu-
tation of a tragedian.
From the California. Keene went
east, and for several seasons Travelled
with the Boston Theater company. play
ing his great part OF Coupeau. On Octo-
Der. 4. 1850, he started out starring in tho
legitimate drama and. since then, ht
has been generally recognized as one OF
the leading tragedians Of the country
Probably his greatest artistic success
was made as Louis NJ. His other nota'
BILE characters were Hamlet. Macbeth
Othello. Richard III. and Richelieu.
Mr.. Keene was a thorough. all-arounc
actor. In burlesque and comedy as wei
as In tragedy. He made his first visii

about seven years ago. since which tim'
he has missed visiting this state onl,

IL they dared to: they content them
selves with abuse Of the strategy board,
which they pretend to believe Is re-

Schley and Sampson are as unre-

critics are forever quoting. always

permitted to question their discretion.
And we may also be permitted to con-
graduate the country that those re-
tired officers who are thus engaged
have not been summoned to the capital

Current Comment.
The National Guard.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
The war department officials attribute
much of the vexatious delay encountered
in raising the volunteer army to the fact
that federal authorities were misled by
the statements that practically the entire
National guard would volunteer; that as a
whole It was well equipped and that the
only raw recruits that would have to be
trained In the primary principles of sol
diery and armed and equipped from head
To toe would he the 10 or 20 per cent. or

bers of National guard regiments are
fresh recruits. without uniforms or ac-
coutrements. and without the slightest
idea OF military movements or tactics.
