had ever been seen in any newspaper.
His knowledge of the disease, its symp-
toms and peculiarities; his familiarity with
medicine, chemistry, the art OF nursing,
etc, etc.-all this astounded the faculty OF
New Orleans, many of whom knew that
Carleton had never graduated in medicine,
nor, indeed, in any other art, or science,
for his whole college career covered less
than three years, and had not been dis
tinguished by that sedate Flooding which
turns out so many prize-medalistS ana
subsequently furnishes so many village
stores with an excellent and economical
clerical service.
From New Orleans he went to New
York, where he may be said TO have re-
milan existence always. He has done lit
erary work that amazed even such &C
complished judges as Sir Henry Irving.
He has written plays of minor Importance
for pot-boilers, such as Victor Durand,"
"a Gilded Fool" 1.-The Butterflies" The
Lions Mouth" etc, but nothing in this
line since his great classical tragedy,
''Memnon," has given one the smallest
glimpse of the mans real literary gifts or
his almost weird poetic temperament.
When Grant died Carleton. wrote for the
New York Times one of the noblest and
most splendid hymns that has ever found
its way into print, and the Times pro-
duced IT on the first page with a display
hat surprised all New York. Nothing
like 1T had ever been done by the then
dignifed and powerful Times.
There is absolutely no standard by
which this man can be appraised. He
knows so many shings-and knows them
thoroughly and p~rofoundly-he can speak
at one moment with absolute authority
touching the most occult and complicated
questions, and in a breath become the
highest, most irresponsible, most fantastic
purveyor of conceits and epigrams: there
is no way to measure him-none what
ever. But, speaking in the light of nearly
thirty years of knowledge and careful OBJ
s~ervation of Henry Guy Carleton, we are
quite prepared to believe that he is as
much the master in electricity and me-
chanics as he is in literature, chemistry,
medicine, mathematics or poetry.
Seriously, we doubt whether, outside the
domain of politics, commerce and states
manship, Cartoons Intellectual equal is
TO be found in all this land.

F. Hopk:nson Smith. a dramatization of
whose Caleb West" will be seen at Nc
Vicker's Theater, beginning tonight, is a
remarkable character. He won fame in a
dozen different directions, and he manages
to keep his identity in these various call
ings distinct and clear. AS an author Of
successful novels, such as Caleb West,
Master Diver TON Grogan," "A Day at
Laguerre's," and a dozen other popular
books, he is F. Hopkinscn Smith. BY the
way, he has managed TO put a great deal
of autobiography into these same books,

personal matter.
AS Francis H. Smith, under which name
his books are scheduled in the Chicago
public library, he is known as a civil engi-
neer and a builder of lighthouses. 1t was
Mr.. Smith who constructed the light at
Race Rock, one of the most dangerous
points on the Atlantic coast-a spot where
hundreds of lives have been sacrificed. and
where it was thought impossible TO build
a light until Mr.. Smiths ingenuity devised
the means. The building of this lighthouse
forms the backbone of the story of "Caleb
West" the incidents of which were the
disagreeable things which happened to Mr..
Smith while he was rearing the huge pile

ticn will be too bewildering for ordinary
people to solve.
