The Author OF Farce Comedies VIII

GO south ia Recuperntc.
Charles II. Hoyr, the well-known author
Of many rolIicking farce and musical
comedies. which have delighted American
audiences for the past decade has broken
down and is now in Washington preparing
for trip TO Hot Springs. Va. where he
hopes 10 recuperate.
The failure Of Mr. Hoyts comedy. A
Dog in the MangeT. seems 10 have pro-
duced The climax in his unfortunate men
tai and physical deterioration. X was pro-
duced here on Monday night and fell fiat.
The piece will be taken from the boards
on Saturday night.
OF late Mr.. Hoyt has been the victim of
heavy misfortunes. and it is feared that
the recent death of his beautiful wife.
Caroline Niskel Hoyt, and that of his
child have preyed upon his mind TO such
an extent that he will be long III recov-
eriug from the shock of those great sor
rows.
Mr. Hoyt. who is now at the Arlington.
preparing for his Southern trip under the
care OF Or. Barry. OF Cork. Ireland. is said
to be mental and physical wreck. and
his friends express fears that he will never
be himself again so far as remarkable
productivity in stage authorship Is con
serned.
Mr. Hoyt has been one of the most pro-
life OF modern farce writer's. and has prob
ably scored more popular successes in this
line than any three of his contemporaries.
Since his first success, A Bunch of
Keys. produced a dozen or more years
since, he has turned out a remarkable
number of amusing farces. which seemed
TO appeal 10 the popular taste but the
absolute failure OF his latest effort which
is said 10 have been a revision of piece
written long ago by him, probably marks
the end of his theatrical career.
MIR. Hoyt began his career as a newspa-
per man. and made a reputation as clever
aragrapher on the Boston Post, after
ward becoming dramatic critic and finally
an author of plays. He was born in
Charleston. y. H.. and during the heyday
farces was elected TO the New Hampshire
Legislature. Mr.. Hoyt at one time wanted
to stand for Congress in New York. In
politics he is Il Democrat.
His numerous successful plays with their
large receipts made him a wealthy man,
and il is estimated that he is worth nearly
a million of dollars.
Among the popular comedies written
and produced by him are: "A Bunch of
Keys. A Brass Monkey, "A Parlor
Match, "A Tin Soldier. "A Midnight
Bell "A Texas Steer" A Temperance
Town" "A Black Sheep "A Trip to
Chinatown, A Contented Woman" a
Stranger in New York" and A Night and
a Day" "A Dog in the Manger" is not
counted.

From Speaking in Vermont
Barre VT. Feb. Emma Goldman, the
New York Anarchist, Tuesday night was
prevented from giving her address on "Au-
thority vs. Liberty by action of the city
officials. Yesterday morning she made this
statement:
Where is your free country and your
free speech? They could not have done
anything that would have advertised
and helped my cause so much. The news
papers have lied about me. They are ali
tied down and are slaves to the men who
are the ruling power. | am not surprised
ut the action that has been taken. | and
others who believe with me have been
stopped from speaking in public before
But there is one thing that l want the
people of Barre to remember. / am not
done with Barre yet, neither are the An
archists done with Barre. / shall come
back again.
If Emma Goldman had been allowed to
speak here serious trouble would prob
ably have resulted, as a large crowd, de-
termined to prevent the speaker from max
ing infiammatory remarks, had gathered.

Arrived at the gate which separates

gust, found 1t securely locked. A keep.
er, however, happening to come in
sight just Mt that moment, Lord SpeE-

the nature of his wishes.
The man surlily replied that his or

should pass through that gate except
due notice We're given to him by the au-
thorities, and that, being n married
man with wife and a large family,
lie failed to understand what special
advantage was to be gained by trans
crossing the rules and thus placing his
situation in jeopardy. Observing that
the fellow was growing obdurate, Lord
Spencer thought 1t was best to reveal
his name and rank, Imagining that
knowledge of the same would recall
the man to his senses. Nothing of the
sort happened, however.
The stolid features of the keeper sim.

he turned to depart he gently explained
that Lord Spencers In that particular
locality were as plentiful as blackber-

Parity of the Metals.

The products Of manufactures in the
United States, according to Mr.. Null
hall, are one-half us much as those of
the balance of the world. being annu-
ally $7,215, 100000, while those Of the
entire world are $22,37O,OOO,OOO.
Mr.. Reed, now Speaker of the House,
in n speech before that body on Feb 1,
1894, referring to the manufacturing
interests of this country, said: II do
not vOuch, nor can any one vOuch, for
these figures, but the proportion of one
third to two-thirds nobody can forcibly
dispute. We produce one-third and the
rest of the world, England included,
two-thirds. The population of the
world is 1.5O0,OOOO0O, of which we
have 70,00O,OO0 which leaves !, 430,0 OO,-
600 for the rest of mankind. We use
all our manufactures or the equivalent
of them. Hence we are equal to one
half the whole globe outside of our
selves. England included, and compared
rs market with the rest of the world
our population is equal to 700,O00,0 00."
With such an array of facts aad fig
ures who can doubt that this nation
in commerce, mining, manufactures
and agriculture is equal to ut least one
fourth If not one-third of all the M
tons OF the world? With such power
and such force, is 1t possible that we
are too weak to establish financial
policy of our own?-John II. Shafroth.
