history-all you could wish, except politics,
on which subject he observed discreet
silence andwas absolutely reserved, to such
an extent that he never questioned upon
the subject Of our unfortunate Revolution,
nor upon the least thing connected with it,
Once al dinner the conversation turned
upon the account Of a voyage that the
duke Of Liancourt had just published. The
general said
Mr. Liancourt will be vexed with me-
When he came into this country he brought
me letters of introduction from some OF
the most distinguished people in England.
He had no need Of them, because, owing
to what Mr. Lafayette said to me as well
as his reputation and conduct ] knew the
respect which was his due Yet / did not
receive him at my house / was in the ad-
ministration, and made rule not to admit
any Freuchman who was considered an
emigrant and who should not be presented
by his minister. / had Mr.. I.iancourt in
formed Oy my friends of the motives which
obliged me to deprive myself of the
pleasure of seeing him, an advantage which
| desired so much, and that as soon as I
should be out of the administration should
want to see him. But it appears that he
took it badly.
And, after all, he added 4 read in Mr.
Monroe's book that the French govern
ment reproached me with having received

was talking with Edwin Booth at The
Players" one day when remarked to him.
Mr. Booth, there is an incident in the ma
tion's history to which j would like TO
allude He promptly compreheuded and
replied with flashing eye and a construction
of the lips, You mean that affair at Wash
ington. I could not approve what he did
but he was my brother" The last words
we're uttered with intense emotion.
It is an interesting fact that Edwin Booth
never desisted from his patient and quiet
eudeavor to recover the body Of John
Wilkes Booth until he delivered ii through
friends 70 his mother in Maryland 1t is now
buried n the family lot in that state. OF
John Wilkes Booths death there can be no
doubt. John r. Ford, the Baltimore thea
trical manager aud Charles b. Bishop, the
comedian, both told me that they Witnessed
for Edwin Booth the exhuming of the body,
identified il and sent il to his mother. This
should set at rest the persistent rumOr that
he is still alive
AS to the dramatic genius Of John Wilkes
Booth, I can write with professional
authority. II was Of the highest order, and
had he lived his fame and success would
have equaled his fathers. The father I
never saw, but nearly every great actor
from Edwin Forrest down to the present
day I have seen and known, and excepting
Forrest and that brilliant erratic genius,
Edwin Adams, John Wilkes Booths genius
exceeded them all As ! have written, he
was great admirer of King Lear " don't
think his genius would ever have made his
rendition of the part equal TO Forests but
he was an unequaled Richard III" and
would have made the greatest Iago,
Hamlet +" "Cassius," !" "Othello" Mac
beth" "Coriolanus" and Charles de
Moor and similar parts In plays like
THE Tanning Of the Shrew" he had
achieved distinction before he died He
acted with a brilliant dash and sweep that
was irresistible. To women in such parts
he was an imperious fascination They
idOlized him. King Lear" and his genius
we're not quite in harmony. He did not
have the large physical proportions essen
tial TO a performance Of the subimest Of
Shakespeare's characters Edwin Forrest
did and was the greatest King Lear" the
stage has ever seen. Once in Philadelphia
when going over with Mr.. Forrest his 1924
First Folio) edition of Shakespeare, ex-
pressed to him my admiration of his King
Lear FOTrests eyes flashed, and he said
in reply, Sir, act Hamlet, but by c.
am Learl"
It is lamentable that through the insanity
which led to that dark deed in Washington
the genius of John Wilkes Booth was lost
to the American stage His star went out
in the darkest night, and through a deed
that cost the stricken South its best friend
in the North, Abraham Lincoln. He alone
could have stood at the end Of the war be-
tween the North and the South, the Great
Pacifcator, and the bullet of John Wilkes
Booth robbed the South of his genius, his
influence, his noble and kindly heart
believe that if the truth could be known,
John Wilkes Booth in his insanity, lost his
identity in the delirious fancy that he was
enacting the role of "Brutus," and that
Lincoln was his Julius Caesar"

the Treasury Department, Messrs Powell

their exit. To present their case now would
be useless, as they lthe Twin Grafters")
are little too close to the powers that be,
chiefly on account Of the m any electrical

right have had and been legitimately paid

acter is impossible when Govern

Very respectfully,
A Translntor,s story.

An interesting little story attaches to the
volpme of Swedish fairy tales which Mr..
II +. Braekstad has translated Years ago
a Swedish friend gave Mr. Braekstad a
book, saying Here is something you will
like" He turned over the pages with the
remark, 1t isn't Swedish is it, for know
Swedish" mot Swedish, E" was the reply,
but Swedish dialect" "Ah, said Mr.
Braekstad, can / manage to read it2" He
tried several times, not very successfully.
But one day he began to read the dialect
aloud, and then he understood it at once
It resembled the dialect of part of his own
country, Denmark, and had been taken
down phonetically

A CRYING NEED

by such law to have non-tuberculosis Jail
The readers of the SUNDAY GLOBE will
remember the pitiable appeals made BY the
GLOBE and the victim Of the milk trust
ever since last October, for the uufortunates
(the fecus brigade) of the tuberculosis
plant, and the only change known so far is
Curtis was pardoned to die of tuberculosis
in New York" He was a bright-eyed
handsome boy about twenty-seven years
old, a victim Of the dope, a criminal law
did not call for his death, but he was sem
fenced to a known death trap.
This is only one of hundreds of cases 1
believe this one life could have been saved
under fair conditions.
The Commissioners of the District have
not even suggested to Congress that this
tuberculosis preparatory is a menace to the
health Of the citizens, so l wi urge upon
the GLOBE and each one Of its readers the
great need, and pray them to take an active
part in securing change for the better.

Defends St. Elizabeth.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 80, 1907
Editor Sunday Globe
DEAR SIR: It was stated in 'an article
headed "St Elizabeth Asylum" in your
last issue that lady patient occupying a
room in that institution was visited by the
physician alone in charge of her ward day
or night beg leave to state that this is
an entirely unwarranted imputation by
innuendo upon most worthy official and is
calculated to give great concern to those
who have female members of their families
under treatment among those daughters of
affection the inmates of the government
hospital for the insane.
1t is within my knowledge that no ply
sician has ever visited a female patient
either day or night in that hospital without
being attended by the head nurse of her
ward. The physician in charge of the
female ward is DR.. Charles H. Clarke, who,
though comparatively yonng man, was
honorably connected for some years with
the Central Insane Asylum of Ohio, which
holds the primacy over all other state in-
stitutions of that class DR.. Clarke ranks
high as an alienist, and presents in his
character and conduct every feature that
defines the true gentleman, and is in every
respect worthy of the sacred trust reposed
in him. AS TO the institution itself can
truly state after having visited all the priu-
cipal hospitals for the insane in this coun-
try and in Europe that in its equipment
and administration it is to-day the foremost
of its class in the world.
Very respectfully
NJ
[rhe GLOBE is always ready to give the
other side hearing. DR.. Clarke was not
the physician aimed at in the article, nor
was the visit alleged of recent date. As to
the management of St. Elizabeth's we take
the privilege of differing with M, and
adhere to our own opinion. ED. GLoBE.1

A Turkey Trust,
8 Said to Be In Absolute Control of the
Market.

Provldent housekeepers will dc
we'll to make early calculation of the
xtra cost that will be added 10 their
Christmas dinners. The high and
steadily advancing price of foodstufs,
and particularly of those that are
favored of the Christmas season,
makes necessary this caution.
The big western meat houses, whose
trade combination affect poultry as
we'll as the larger carcasses, are in
absolute control of the turkey market.
All manner of fowls are being bought
by agents of the trust, who go into
the farming sections of the United
States and Canada and make their
purchases in lots running from one to
one thousand. As fast as the fowls
are bought they are killed, dressed
and stored in the immense refrigera-
tors OF the trust.
Plump and tender turkeys brought
sixteen cents pound in last years
Su'iotthoo Wy hidihCto hlo yea, {,
according to both wholesale and re-
tail dealers, they will range in price
from sixteen to twenty cents pound.
Prime chickens and ducks will bring
fourteen cents pound.
Beef is lower than 1t was in the
spring, but pork is higher. All hog
products are advanced in price and
are going higher.
Cattle fattened especially for
Christmas will reach the Philadelphia
market in great numbers this week
This meat will command good prices,
and by reason of its unquestloned
freshness and high quality many
housekeepers will buy it rather than
refrigerated poultry of doubtful age.
