Sol Smith Russell Can Play no More,

A special from Washington City brings
the sad news that the immitable Sol
Smith Russell acan never play again.
Recently he was stricken with locomotor
ataxia. The malady has advanced so far
that the kindly Thespian is denied the
use of his legs. He is pushed about in a
go-cart by a colored man. There is no
chance that he will ever be able to re-
sumo his old part on the stage, which is
indebted to him for some Of it's quaintest
and drollest Representations.
