crowd.
Every one turned to look at the I'M
welcome guest, who walked forward
until he reached the bridegroom's side
and said IN d clear tone:
''This man was engaged to another
young lady and he has failed to keep
his promise to marry her. She is now
suing him."
Mr.. Olds' face flushed crimson, while
Miss Aprile lookel astounded and
seemed ready to collapse.
The intruder was a lawyers clerk
sent to serve summons in suit for
$50, 900 damages for breach of promise
brought by Miss Olga Landsdorff.
While Mr.. Olds glanced over the
summons the clerk left the building.
The minister remained silent until Mr..
Odds stuffed the paper into his pocket
and in a low tone told him that he
could proceed, as there was no valid
objection.
DR.. Hall continued the ceremony to
the end.
Mr.. Olds, who is about so years old,
is Newark lawyer and is reputed to
be wealthy. He is retired from active
practice. The plaintiff, who claims to

REMARKABLY ELOQUENT
IN SHADOW OF DEATH.
Former GOVERNOR ALTGELD DIES
SPEAKING FOR THE Beers.
Auoplexy Strikes Him While He was
Pleading for the Down Trodden.
Had Risen to Eminence
from the Tow Path.

Former Governor John P. Altgeld
died in Joliet, Ill.,, Wednesday morn
ing at 1907 o'clock. He had been un'
conscious since midnight.
Mr.. Altgelt was the principal speak
er at a pro- Boar mass meeting that
night 10 the Joliet theater.
Just at the close of his speech sud-
den dizziness seized him and he was
assisted from the stage. The meeting
proceeded, the audience not realizing
what had happened. Mr.. Altgeld was
taken to the door of the theater. where
several vomiting spells seized him.
1t continued for nearly an hour and
was so pronounced he could not be re-
moved to the hotel. Physicians were
hastily summoned, and Mr.. Altgeld
WIS carried to the hotel across the
street. He retained consciousness, and
urged the newspaper men to keep the
affair quiet for fear of alarming his
wife. Shortly before midnight he be-
came unconscious. He remained in
this condition until death.
The cause of death is given as cere-
bral hemorrhage, there having been
an apoplect,c seizure of the brain.
1t was noted during his address that
the ex-governor threw an unusual
amountOf energy and feeling into his
words, and the collapse. the physi-
clans think, resulted from over-strain'
Ing his already weakened physical
powers.
The governor died as he had lived
pleading for the cause of the lowly.
Mr.. Altgeld, in his speech which
was fated to be his last, declared that
all friends OF humanity owed debt OF
gratitude to Governor Yates for issu-
ing proclamation soliciting assist
ance for the Boer women and children

British are maintaining in South AT

The speaker said that the people OF
America had raised a large sum OF

ambassador at Washington, objected
10 it. He further charged that Lord
Pauncefote had for years meddled in
American affairs.
There were eighteen counts and

indictment. He said in substance
JUS before the beginning OF the
Spanish war lord Pauncefote, repre-

several vocal numbers on the pro-

the repititions were generous. The
prettiest songs were "Under the Shade

SAG HARBoR.

The distinguished critic OF the
New York Herald, in his review
of SAG HARBoR, refers to Mr..
Herne in the following wor,ls:
Herne was a successful play maxi
er and. for many years the profess
sion recognized him as a great
actor; but, perhaps, his largest
claim to fame was found in his
method of training actors and pro-
ducing plays. He was wonder
as stage manager. America has
not his equal in producing perfect
illusions in scenes OF simple coun-
try life. The opening act with
the beautiful bay stretching away;
the scene in the second act In the
old boat shop where carpenters
and painters are at work upon the
yatchs; and his dinner scene in the
charming old country cottage
could not have been handled with
such skill by any other producer
in this country or in Europe.
Those scenes were simply perfect
in detail.
In addition to this we may say
that these really marvellous speci-
mems of the scene painters art
were painstakingly drawn from
the actual scenes about SAG HAIR
BoR on the lovely Long Island
Sound, and the whole scheme of
setting for this play was carried
through with a faithful devotion
to the highest art results and at
enormous cost. A more perfect
equipment in the way of scenes,
properties and appointments has
never been accorded to any play
in our generation.
Indeed, this city is to be con-
graduated upon the forthcoming
appearance here of this fine COM
pany. SAG HARBoR opens next
at the Grand, February 8.
