She has been here for the purpose o. be-

"Pon Gray will trayel on through the
centuries with his passport to immor-
tality In II little thin book In his pocket
The Eiegy In Churchynrd. One
p ,em secured him, out OF all he had
written, a great and lasting fame. So
1t has been since Gray's time, not only
with the poets, but with novelists, his
torians, scientists and dramatists. This
dramatist, the author OF more than n
score of brilliant successes, is David
Belasco, with whose last and greatest
American play, the Heart OF Mary
land" Its past two appearances on
our stage have made us pleasantly
familiar. A play that can repeat its
visit to Toledo Tor the second time is
one that will hereafter always be well
come, so that the announcement OF its
second visit will be one OF the notable
events OF the season, not only as to the
large and cultured audience to give 1t
a heartfelt salutation. Jan. and 6.

General Lawton was afflicted with
consumption, and before leaving for
the Philippines expressed to several
friends in this city the belief that he
would not live to return. He preferred,
however, to die with his boots on rather
than by slow decline. II he had
lived to reach the retiring age, it was
his intention TO reside thenceforward
in California, where he had been ad-
vIsed medically that there was chance
for prolonging his life for some years.

of about two years. 1880 and 1856
when he WAS located at Iamoure. in
