The announcement that Maude

Opera House next Monday in J. NJ Bar
rie's successful new comedy, Quality
Street." is a source of genuine pleas
ure to the theatre-goers of this city.
Miss Adams lis undoubtedly the favor
lite American actress, and deservedly
So Her gifts and charms on the stage
have been emphasized by the dignity
and modesty which she has observed
in regard TO her personal affairs away
from the theatre. In not a single in
stance have they been obtruded on the
public. The result is that the delight
full atmosphere OF her creations in
stage character have shed a wholesome
influence over her own personality
and have won for her an esteem and
affection from American theatre goers
such as has never been accorded to any
other actress. AS Phoebe nhrossell,
SHE is credited with new triumph
Phoebe of THE ringlets," as she is affec-
tionately called, is OneOf those exquisite
creations of pure maldenhood which
have helped to give Miss Adams her
great fame, and to win for her such an
enduring regard. The author has de-
scribed her in the following poetic
lines, a tribute from her lover in the
action Of the play:
THE lilies are her pretty thoughts,
Her shoulders are the may,
Her smiles are all forget-me-nots,
The paths her gracious way.
The roses that do line it are
Her fancies walking round,
tbs sweetIy smelling lavender
In which my lady's gowned."
Mr.. Barrie's new comedy is in four
acts, and. according to report, it has
the exquisite humor, the dainty story,
he delightful atmosphere, genial hui
manity, and fine character drawing
which characterizes all of his other
plays and novels. Miss Adams sup.

the most refined ever made under Mr..
Frohman's direction, and is in thor
oug'h consonance with the delightful
atmosphere of the play. The sale Of
seats began today.

house It the Wilmington Theatre last

duction were Phil. H. Barnard, Alfred
Hudson. Jr., Frank r. Montgomery,

others. The scenery was particularly
effective and the play was everything
that one could desire in the way of a
detective drama. The plot and con-
.spiTacies conceived in the first act are
worked ont in the end to the great sat
isfaction Of the audience. and it was
very evident that those present last

He says what he does is done by hum

yards and numbering industries la
Dor under the belief that to not be
permitted to build warships on the
Great Lakes works a financial inius-
tice on them, and, if the treaty was
annulled, it would offer them an op-
portunity to compete in the ship
building business, and if they were
permitted to compete in the build
ing Of war vessels for the nation, it
would greatly lessen the cost Of
building such to the government.
There seems to be method in their
madness, and it is more than likely
that some steps will be taken by the
government authorities to abrobate
the foolish treaty. To abrogate this
specific treaty, it requires the gov
eminent so desiring to serve a six
months notice on the other govern
ment before doing so, and this, it is
thought, viii be done by the United
States; not in a spirit Of iingoism.
but in a business spirit pure and
simple. 1t means much to the labor
ing industries on the Great Lakes,
and the treaty should be broken at
once, if not sooner.

Personal EXPESRIENCE.

The writer is of the opinion that
a more eccentric man never lived
than Boston Corbett, and he knows
this from personal experience with
the man. Having lived in Cloud
county, Kansas, and being connected
with hotel in that city, he often
met Corbett, as he stopped at the
hotel whenever he came to town
from his country residence Bnt
Notwithstanding his eccentmcities he
was a most interesting man to talk
to, and was well read on most all
subjects, but took more interest in
war affairs and religion than any,
thing else. He never tired Of telling
how he shot Booth, nor Of the salts
faction it gave him to do so. 1t was
perhaps his eccentricities that led
him to settle in the remote part Of
Western Kansas. which at the time.
was sparcely settled, and where he
seldom had friend or an acquain-
lance to visit him. Apparently he
lived happily, surrounded only by
his dumb animals, and his little
farm eighteen miles to the nearest
railroad station. He was fond of
the old soldiers and visited all of the
reunions in the county and state.
and seemingly derived lot OF pleas
ure from making his annual visits to
those places 1t is very evident that
the man was never crazy or he Wouid
never have had the success as a trav-
cling man that he has had since NJ
escaped from the asylum. Taking it
all in all, Boston Corbett is one Of
the remarkable historic characters
that this country will read about foE
ages and generations yet to come.

BOSTON CORBET NOT DEAD.

1t will be news to most persons to
learn that Boston Corbett. the man
who Stayed John Wilkes Booth, the
slayer Of President Lincoln, is not
yet dead and not only not dead, but
is travelling agent for a medical COM
pany, with headquarters in Topeka
Some years ago Boston Corbett,
whose home was in Cloud county,
Kansas, was selected by the Kansas
legislature as its sergeant at arms
In that capacity he acted during the
most Of the session, but taking ex-
ceptions to something that was said
by some Of the members contrary to
his political belief. he commanded
the legislature to adjourn, and in its
refusal to do so he pulled two navy
skies out of his pocket and began fir
ing, which soon depopulated the
hall. For this act Corbett was ar
rested, tried and found guilty Of in
sanity and was confined in an insane
asylum. subsequently he escaped
from the asylum, and the authorities
gave il out that he was dead. 1t
now transpires that he was not dead,
nor was he actually crazy, for after
his escape he was employed 10y d
medical company as its agent, and
has acted in tnat capacity since 1878
He refuses to return to Kansas, be-
lieVing that he would again be CON
fined in the asylum if he once got in
to the clutches Of the Kansas Off
cials. Before he was supposed to be
dead he received a pension from the
government and since that time the
fund has been accumulating I'M
til now 1t amounts to something over
81 400. He also has valuable prop
erty in Cloud county, and this he
refuses to make any disposal of OF
to return>to Kansas to claim his pen
sion, and it is utterly impossible for
him to ever get the same unless he
does return and make affidavits to
the effect that he is not dead. He
is by no means very old man, being
but 81 at his last birthday.

est to be found, and had enjoyed ev-
cry privilege that wealth and fame
could bring to any man, he died a
few days ago in poverty and rags. He
was not a WayWard wreck. a drunken
sot, a branded criminal, nor could
he be charged with having been any
thing but a most excellent type Of
humanity, and yet fortune from
time to time continued to hide its
face from him until it left him a
physical wreck and likewise friend
less and ftfull. Though he was at
one time a member Of the United
States Congress, subsequently gov
ernor Of the state of New jersey,
still later governor Of the state Of
Washington, and likewise the father
Of the government life-saving ser
vice, all of which must have added
thousands Of dollars to his credit, he
died in lodging house uncared for,
and his remains would have been
taken to the potters' field had it not
been for someone who thought it a
disgrace to our country for such
thing to be permitted and gave the
remains decent burial. During his
stay at Olympia, Governor Newell
was always favorably, known to ev-
erybody. In his later years. how
ever, he developed ideas peculiar to
himself and ideas that Republicans
were inclined to pronounce Populis-
tic; nevertheless, his ideas were al
ways worthy Of consideration and
were intended to be in the interests
OF the poor people among whom he
lived. The arrangements which
came between him and his party
caused him to be overlooked by the
later day partisans, and in his de-
cIining years he thought best for
him to return to New Jersey for the
purpose of regaining some of his for
mer popularity with his party, but
ne died before regaining any Of his
former strength or popularity, and
as a result his remains were buried
without honor or ceremony, thuogh
he had rendered his country propot-
tionately as much service, as had any
man who had made him governor of
the territory of Washington, the i'm
mortal Abraham Lincoln.

4 REMARKABLE PUGLIST.

Peter Jackson, the well known
colored pugihst, died in Australia a
few days ago, in every sense a full
hedged pauper. At one time Jack
son was admired throughout the
world, and he could have given his
check then for 100000 and the
same would have been honored at
his bank, but he lived a fast life and
he lived to see the time come when
his fast living caused him to have to
beg his bread. Poor Peter! The old
adage of "a fool and his money soon
part was very applicable to him,
but unfortunately for him, he not
only parted with his money, but he
likewise parted with his health and
finally his life.

MISSOURI NEGROPHOBIA.

Anti-Negro riots have broken out
in Pierce county, Missouri, over the
numbering Of young white girl, the
murderer being unknown, and as
result two Negroes were lynched on
general principles and many others
were shot and otherwise butchered
up and their homes burned. Chaos
has prevailed and the Negroes have
been driven completely from the
community. The Chinese Boxers
committed just such outrages as this
on the Christian missionaries, and
for their savage acts the worlds
great powers sent great armies into
the Chinese country and after thous-
ands of the Chinese had been butch
cred in spirit of revenge, the Chi
nese sued for peace, which was only
granted after a price had. been
placed on the head of every Chris
tian killed or in any way molested,
and many million taels paid for the
same, The white Christians, how
ever, can perpetrate the same acts of
savage barbarity on the Negroes and
cultured and refined Christianity ap-
plauds. Deliver us, 0 Most High,
from such a Christianity as this.
