HARD LUCK OF STAGE FOLK.
Stranded at Glen Echo and CLAIM
Their Manager Has Deserted,

In almost the condition that humorists
are fond of depicting transforming COM
panies n number of theatrical people are
living in the deserted summer cottages
| near Glen Echo Park BY doing vaude-
vile turns in the cafe there they earn
enough to live. They are members of
Haverly's Phantasma Troupe, which
proved losing venture at the popular re-
sort Without enough money to get back
TO Broadway they are waiting for some
relief. incidentally number of them are
quite angry with their former manager,
Jack Haverly. who they complain desert
ed the company under guise of going to
New York to secure funds to take the
troupe back to the metropolis. Haverly
has been away nearly two weeks and the
artists" say they have not received a
cent and that recently the colonel has
begun to dispense with even the formality
Of answering letters they have written
him. In the meantime the chorus girls
and the actors are experiencing to the
limit the phrase that a theatrical person
turned a long time ago, When you're
not in New York. you're camping out"
1t was about five weeks ago that the
troupe, which then consisted of thirty-six
people, came to Washington under the
management of Haverly to produce ''Sher-
mans Phantasma" in the amphitheatre
of confidence but little money. The at
traction was advertised extensively. But
patronage was light, and salaries not
forthcoming in fun on the first pay day.
The ghost did not walk, but instead
hopes of better things the following week
were held out. The next week came how
ever, and with it another vacuity in the
salary line. The members of the troupe
were patient, but regretted that Haverly
did not have the ample sum of money he
was supposed to possess when he took
the troupe from Gotham in the hope of
finding miniature Kiondike in Washing
ton.
After Haverly left for the Rialto a
switch was made to farce comedy. but
with no better success. J. Butler Havi-
land acted as manager of this emergency
enterprise, but comedy was no more sue
cessful in attracting full houses than was
extravaganza.
Finally the amphitheatre was closed and
the troupe practically disbanded. Some
of the members secured funds to get back
to New York. The rest are sandwiching
in specialties in an improvised roof gar
den at Glen Echo and hoping for better
things. But they say that they don't ex-
pect much help from Colonel Haverly
who has evidently run into another dis
aster similar to a string which renders
his record a sorrowful contrast to the
days when he was one of the most sue
cessful managers in America

ALIEN sTUAaT,s DEATH.
Heart Trouble Overlook Him and He
Fell Dead on the Public Highway

The funeral Of Allen Stuart took
place Sunday, February "a, 1901, at 10
O'Clock a. M, at his late residence on
the weston road, three miles distant
from the city, and interment was
made in the /. o. o. F. cemetery.
Two Italians found Mr.. Stuart's
dead body lying on the road beyond
his home a third of mile at 4:3O
O'Clock Thursday afternoon of last
week. NJ. G. Holmes happened along
soon afterward and advised that the
body be taken home. This was done
and Coroner w. r. Alexander was no.
titled but an inquest was deemed I'M
necessary. A physician was sum
moned. After an examination Of the
body he announced that death had
been caused by heart trouble.
Mr.. Stuart had been at Presley
Beach's place near Mt. Clare to get a
horse and colt that had strayed from
his farm, and was returning home
with them when death overlook him.
The horses were standing a few feet
from the body, when it was found.
The bride rein Of the horse he had
been riding hung loosely on the horse's
neck in front of the saddle. There
were no marks on his body to indicate
that he had fallen from the horse and
no dirt or snow on his clothes. The
trains had all passed before he could
have reached that point, and, there
fore, he could hardly havebeen thrown
from his horse, which was rather gen
tie. The most plausible conclusion is
that he felt sick, got off his horse, sat
down on the ground, and fell back
dead. He was lying stretched at full
length ON his back when found.
Mr.. Stuart was prosperous farmer
and good, quiet, honorable citizen.
A wife, son and three daughters sur
vlve him. He was about % years of
age.
