English Actor, Famous in Amer
lea, Overcome by Operation
for Cancer.
TfS CAREER WAS UNUSUAL.
Becoming Imbued With an Ambi-
ton to Go on the Stage When
a Child, He Worked Until
/, He Reached the Pinnacle.

London, July 22.-Wilson Barrett. the
actor. died this morning. He underwent
an operation for cancer July 20. and the
doctors thereafter said that after a few
weeks rest he would be all right and
able to carry out his intention Of produc-
ing a new play in September.
Mr.. Barrett died at a nursing home in
London. The recent operation was be-
lieved to have been quite successful, and
the actor thought that he had passed the
crisis. His death is attributed to heart
failure.
Wilson Barrett was as well known in
this country, from New York to Califor-
mia, as he was in his native land. Eng
land. His frequent appearance here led
many to consider him as much a part Of
the American stage as OF the English.
Mr.. Barrett in telling of his own stage
career said that his first public appear
ance was made in the choir of a church
in Regents Square. London. He saw a
theatrical performance for the first time.
accompanied by nurse, at the age of 8.
The play was Uncle Toms Cabin
He attributed his ambition to become an
actor to visit to a theater in London
known as the Dust Hole" which he Wis
ited at the age of 10.
After the visit" said Barret, Il haunt
made up my mind to be an actor, and
studied Shakespeare until l knew 'Othel-
To- and Hamlet by heart in their entire
ty."
i.rer seeing Kean in Henry W" Bar
rett,. although only boy of about IL or
1S years. determined that he would play
Hamlet" in the Princess Theater. Lon
don. From then he said his studies took
practical form. With three friends he
built small theater in the back yard OF
one of their fathers shops. The play en-
acted there for the benefit of the children
of the neighborhood was written by Bar
rett at the age of IA 1t was founded on
the story of "Robinhood."
Barrett learned stage dancing, and be-
cause of his ability in that line he was
allowed to dance between acts at the
Grecian Theater during a benefit PERFORM
ance. That was his first appearance on
the professional stage.
Later Barrett became dignifed enough
TO place himself in the hands of man
aser. Through this manager he obtained
an engagement to play at Halifax at a
salary of j guinea a week, out of which
he had 10 find all the "trappings."
He made his first appearance in London
at the Surrey Theater in Never Too Late
to Mend" and not in East Lynne" as is
generally supposed. There another oppor-
tunity was opened to him in the shape of
a disabled star, and Barrett jumped into
the breach and made a hit.
Barrett had a beautiful home in Lon
don's Bohemia" South Hempstead.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Waterloo. Ia. July 2.-Former Govern
or Boise Of Iowa has placed the stamp OF
approval on the Democratic platform and
candidates in an open letter to the Press.
He says behind the candidates and plat
form are all that Democracy could rea-

The tariff plank and the Philippine
question are heartily indorsed and ap-
proved. and he congratulates the party
on its attitude on the money question.
Il am glad" he says, that no final ac-
ton by the convention was taken on the
money question. consider two important
propositions finally and unalterably set
tied by the American people. First, It is
settled that our standard Of values is to
be a single gold standard. Second, the
coinage Of silver at the ratio of sixteen TO

money. is finally and forever settled
against that proposition.
Heretofore the spirit of contention in
our party over this question has been too
pronounced to admit of careful and eau
tious examination by the advocates of the
two systems. 1t Is my earnest desire to
see the Democrats OF my State once more
united and in a position to exert in the
counsels the influence that belongs to
her."

In the Courthouse here this morning at
1:30 o'clock, and climbed upon the high
dome of the buiding.' Haggard is sub
ject to epileptic fits, they coming upon
him frequently.
Five men were required to control him
when he was taken in charge yesterday.
He seemed quiet this morning when taken
to the SherifT's Office In the second story
of the Courthouse. While the guards were
at the door he made dash up stairway
leading to the attic. From there he es-
capped through an opening to the roof.
When the guards reached the roof they
saw the crazed man rapidly climbing the
dome on a skeleton ladder used by paint
erS.
On reaching the narrow level space at
the bottom of the dome he ran around II
until he saw another iron ladder. upon
which he went to the top.
He was then at the base OF the God
dess of Liberty. and pulled himself up the
figure part of the way by the lightning
rod. He swung around the high figure
in most dangerous way, 15O feet from
the ground.
Sheriff Wymore climbed up near him
and tried to induce him to come down, but
he merely stared at him. He lay down

A struggle with him here would prob
ably have meant the death of the un-

Later he descended and sat in his ole
