STAGE TRAGEDY RECALLED.
Reasons That Impelied the Sad Suicide
of Walter Montgomery.

Clement Scott, the dramatic critic.
Is In reminiscent mood. In the Free
Lance-more than thirty years after
the event-he throws light on an old
and mysterious tragedy of the stage.
In September, 1871, London was
startled to hear that Walter Montgom-
cry had committed suicide two days
after his marriage at st. Georges,
Hanover Square. on August 80, 1871.
The act was incomprehensible to all
Montgomery's friends. II has now
been explained. 1t appears that when
Walter Montgomery was starring"
In Australia he fell in love with a
charming girl, who was an heiress. He
proposed to her, was accepted, but the
marriage was strongly opposed by the
father Of the 1ancee. The actor.
piqued. disappointed and apparently
heart-broken, sailed from Australia to
England. On board ship he was fas-
cinated by another lady, and he mar
rled her directly after the ship ar
rived at home. A few hours after the
marriage Walter Montgomery received
a letter from the father OF the Aus
tralian girl, saying that he had re-
Tented, that bis daughter was dying
OF broken heart, and that he was to
hurry back TO Australia to claim his
bride and her fortune. Remorse, dis
appointment, despair affected the
handsome actors brain, and he rushed
up 10 HE room and put bulle.
through his temple.

A young lady who had lived several
years in Samoa was able to make her
self understood by talking Samoan to
the natives of the southern Philippines
when she visited those Islands with a
party of American officials some
months aso. The chief whom she ad-
dressed threw up his hands In sur
prise. What" said he, does the
white maiden talk our language?" He
was evidently everjoyod and promptly
asked her the Samoan equivalent for
what he could do for her." She told
him IL her sweetest Samoan HON much
she admired the bead work on their
garments. and how much she would
like TO buy piece Of II to take back to
her own country and show her coun-
trymen how skillful and artistic these
particular Fillpinos were. NO" said
the chief. with a lordly wave OF the
Nand. you shall not buy. You shall
AXE as a gift" Whereupon he quickly,
removed his trousers and handed them
over With the unblushing grace of a
child Of nature. The young lady has
tily resumed her English tongue and
the other ladies OF the party confined
their further opportunities TO women
Of the tribe.

The coronation of Edward Is one of
the greatest subjects for advertising
al the present tine. There are few
trades or manufacturers that are not
going to be benefited by it. For
months to come the goods to be used;
the Jewelry to be worn, the colors to
be fashionable. and the shapes of shoes
and hats that will take their complex-
Ion from the coronation event, will be
the subject Of discussion and descrip-
ton throughout the world. Go TO any
steamship Office to-day In this city and
you viii find that even at this early
date staterooms. cabins. and choice
places are bespoken for the early sum-
mer and the coming royal event. Speak
TO any OF the prominent society people.
and all their arrangements are made
with due regard TO the great fashion,
able display OF the coming year. And
when the pageant is over there will be
more coronation gloves, coronation
scarfs. coronation collars. coronation
hats, coronation everything in fact,
from souvenirs of the memento order
TO a good article OF the kings own
whisky. than can be figured on lust
now. That is why the coronation OF
Edward is going to be a good thing in
Its way. apart from its royal import.

DANGERS OF PNEUMONIA.

A cold at this time IL neglected is
liable TO cause pneumonia, which is
so often fatal, and even when the pa
tient has recovered the lungs are
weakened, making them peculiarly
susceptible to the development of con.
sumption. Foley's Honey and Tar
will stop the cough, heal and strength
en- the lungs and prevent pneumonia.

After something that might have been
called a laugh from the customer who
had traded on margins and tips be-
fore, explanations followed. The cell
ing OF the trading room Of the new
exchange will be eighty feet above the
floor. so as to give ample room for
resonant echoes Of bids and offers; also
perhaps a wide flight for brokers who
occasionally happen TO hit that CELL
ing. A big temporary scaffold has been
built into this space. which rests on
wheels and moves from east to west
The top Is Of ties. rails and a traveller,
which moves from south to the forbid

Some are Being Sent from This Coun.
try to ths Philippines.
The easy-going native bargemen OF
Manila Bay will experience something
like surprise when. few months
hence. they see towed into their har-
Dor nineteen Erie canal boats, sent by
the Philippine Transportation compa-
ny. For several years these barges
have been in use on the Erie canal
Now they have been towed over to the
Morgan Iron works. at Ninth street
and the East river. where they are be-
ing carefully pulled apart preparatory
to shipping them to the. Orient. Piece
by piece the decks are being pulled up,
beams and timbeTs separated and piled
up on the pier ready to be slowed
away into the holds OF huge steamers,
there to remain until once more put
together in Hong Kong. From there
they will be towed across the China
sea. down the Luzon coast and into
Manila harbor. Large steamers can
not approach within two miles of the
shore in Manila bay. For this reason
II has always been necessary to send
out cascos. or lighters. in which the
cargoes are transported up the Pasig
river to the city. These cascos are
small and clumsy, and are owned by
individual natives. who will not work
until their supply of cash runs short.
The iron canal boats are capable OF
holding five or six times more cargo
than any casco, and the nineteen to-
gether could put all the cascos OF Ma
Mia harbor into their holds.-New
