a few hours Bostock presently returned empty
handed He had pawned the clothes, but could
get no paper, though he had paid the money TO
the merchant. Poor Blanchard was compelled
to pass the night in the stuffy little office on
Holywe-st., and only escaped late the next
day through the good offices Of a friend who
appeared on the scene bringing a watchman's
great coat and a pair Of carpet slippers belong
ing TO a laundress.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Scotts gossip goes be-
yond the limits of the theatre. He talks Of hosts
Of old friends. some OF them actors but others
authors, artists. Journalists, barristers and so
on. He has known many interesting people. and
he talks about them in amusing fashion. The
narrative is carried down to a very recent date,
the second volume being devoted largely to
Irving and other living figures. The illustra-
tons are numerous. They are nearly all por-
traits Of noted actors and actresses "of yester-
day and to-day" but there are also some fac
SMILES of letters and a number Of play bills
are reproduced. In appendix is useful list
of important plays produced in London between
1880 (the close of Genesis history and the pres
ent year. There is a voluminous index.

believes to be the deterioration in Mr.. Bret

DAMAGE FROM THE FLOOD.


Charleston W. Va, March s. The
night was one of discomfort and &C.
tual suffering. The slow falling Of
the water added to the low tcmpera-
ture made the situation u gloomy one.
Many business men were compelled TO
use boats to seek provisions and fuel.
Even the governor was forced to use
n boat to go from the executive man.
sion to his Office in the statehouse.
Much drunkenness and disorder pre-.
vailed The loss to the timber men
up Elk river will be heavy. That
river traverses the heaviest logging
district Of the state, Immense RATS
are torn Dose and rushed down into
the Kanawha, sometimes doing heavy
damage to the coal docks, barges and
tipples. The Winifrede coal docks are
gone with several barges and an ex-
pensive tipple between Eastbank and
belmont has been swept away.

KANSAS DEADLOCK BROKEN.
Both Houses Finally strike an Agreement
on An Amp ropriation Bill and the Ses.
sion VIII End Happily


Topeka, Kan. March s. The dead.
lock in the Kansas legislature was
broken last night, the various appro.
priation bills we're passed and nothing
now remains to be done but to wait
until the governor signs the various
bills before him. He is given until six
o'clock this evening to do that. Then
formal adjournment will take place.
With the close Of last nights session,
however, the Legislature practically
stands adjourned, for no other bust.
ness can be transacted along lawmak-
ing lines.
The initial step toward breaking the
deadlock occurred when the house
forced through a separate bill appro-
priating $4,000 to pay the expense OF
the senate in holding special session
to try the Falloon.Stuart Judicial con-
test The senate had been lacking
this to the executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill as rider. The house
would not accept this and finally pre-
vailed upon the senate to pass it as a
separate measure.
A committee Of populist senators
visited Gov Stanley to ascertain II
he would sign the Falloon-Stuart ap-
preparation bill, but the governor was
non.committal. Republican friends
Of Gov. Stanley assert that he will
veto the bill.

THE NEW BArrLEsH1ps.


Washington, March s.-The plans
for the three big battleships author.
lied by the naval appropriation bill
just passed are being worked out.
The battleships will be 1000 tons
larger than the Maine and Missouri
class, of a total displacement Of 1880
tons, making them by far the largest
ships in the American navy, and
about equal in dimensions TO the best
type of battleships now being con-
structed abroad under the new prac-
tce. Though larger than the Maine,
the ships will be laid on almost the
same lines, being only little greater
in every dimension. They will carry
each four l2.inch guns in turrets. This
caliber is an inch less than the guns
carried by the Oregon, but by improved
design they will be almost equal In
penetrative power

Washington, March s. --Senator j.
X. Jones, of Arkansas is considerably
improved to-day and no immediate
danger is apprehended His last at
tack of heart trouble, which came on
yesterday while carriage driving, is
ascribed to over exertion and over
confidence in his condition. The SEN
ator rested easily last night, but it is
stated that he will be subject to
periodic attacks unless he preserves
the utmost quiet and remains quietly
at home for at least month.
