The mantle OF some famous player
Of the past is always descending upon
the shoulders OF some modern Tl}espian-
usually in n figuratfve sense: bit James
X Hackett. who played Don Caesar de
Bazan in Victor Mapes' original treatment
of that famous stage character at the Ma
tionaI last night. possesses the hat which
Charles Fechter used to wear in the same
role
Fechter mas the most famous romantic
actor of his generation, and Don Caesar
was one of his favorite roles The hat
was one of the most important parts OF
the costume of q Spanish cavalier and
even unto this day in Spanish-AmeTican
countries the deliberately decorated som
brero frequently costs more than all
the rest of the clothes In Don Caesars
case. however. the hat although owing
to his rank he is privileged to wear it
in the royal presence, is supposed to be
a faded and tattered remnant of his more
prosperous days
The Fechter hat fills these requirements
perfectly It is a genuine old hand made
felt, of the rough texture characteristic Of
hats before machinery came into use
in their making; yet its present state is
proof of its excellent material An orci-
nary felt hat would have worn to tat+ers
with half the hard usage his old m
brero has evidently received. It Tor
is a dull indeseriba5le dun, witk en-
ish streaks IN it. as il faded and ned
BY the weather. It is not on record Iere
Fechter obtained the hat, but presumably
in his native France, or possibly in Spain,
since such felts were never made in this
country Wound around the hat is q fad
ed. frayed silk ribband, whose colOrS were
once gay. but have now run together into
an indescribable polychrome- It IS q hat
to delight an artist as well as an actor,
for it has an expression all its own One
side droops, as Mark Twain says. like q
bug-eaten cabbage leaf" indicating its
declining days, hEt the other side Is
cooked up with q deviI-may-care air
characteristic of Don Cesar
The hat was presented TO Mr. Hackett
by an admirer who believes that the
voung American romantic actor can wear
it as vorthily as did the famous French
man.

The Death of Edgar Wilson,

Letters written a few hours before his
death by Edgar Wilson and also letter
from one of his friends, also a forest
ranger, telling of Wilson's last hours,
have been received here. Wilson had
an unexected hemorrhage, while stoop-
ing down, the first hemorrhage he had
ever had. He lost about three ounces
of blood. After that he felt weak and
chilly, but rallied sufficiently to write
several letters to friends. He rode to
the Grand Canon hotel and there took
to bed dying soon after his arrival. No
physician living within rs miles, only
home remedies were applied, but the
tenderest care was taken Of the sick ma !,
for he had endeared himself to every
one. Wilson had come west for his
health, had lived at Santa Fe, for time
being employed as penitentiary guard,
and then went to the Grand Canon re-
serve as forest ranger. He had i'm
proved right along and his friends here
think that he died of walking pneumo-
mia, probably having caught cold while
on duty which developed into pneumonia
without Wilson knowing it.
