,rne EIder soTnern's race.

It was In the year 1863 or 1864. Dur
ting the summer months Sothern, with
John L. Raymond and several other
well known actors, occupied the local
theater of a seaside sumner resort, to
which he and his company drew q
houseful OF people several nights In
the week TO hear and e them act
rehearse 1t really was In preparation
for their next winters New York sea-
son-the most important of Shake
speare's plays.
The little building had Of course a
gallery, and In the gallery the gods"
became so obstreperous on occasions
that 1t was with great difficulty the
play could be proceeded with. The
~ringleader, a well known rough Of the
town, was a man named Bill Hanra-
han. One night a happy inspiration
seized Sothern. Having learned thu
name Of this prominent member Of the
rowdy element, he addressed him In
the midst Sf the most unearthly noises
as follows: "Mr. Hanrahan. win you
be good enough to take charge of the
gallery and keep order for me. and I
shall feel very grateful" The result
was magical. Bill became at once an
official of the theater and as such
cracked the heads of a few Of his erst-
while fellow rioters with such good ef-
feet that It was only a little time be-
fore the best Of order preyailed.-Cen-
