AMERICAN STAGE
MOURNS LOSS OF
FAMOUS VETERAN

taken off "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" was produced. Jefferson was
to have played the part of Bottom,
but after one rehearsal he felt that
he would make failure Of the part
and resigned the character.
Soon after this he took Our Amer
ican Cousin on a starring tour, with
the understanding that he would give
the management half of the profits for
the use of the play. This was the be-
ginning of financial success for JET
ferson, as he reaped the full benefit
of his great acting for himself rather
than for his managers as before.
In 1860 he came to California, and,
after a most successful season In this
city and other places in the State.
went on to Australia. where like sue
cess greeted him. AT Hobart Town,
Tasmania, the capital of the penal
colony, he played THE Ticket-of-
Leave Man before large audience,
which comprised among other per-
sons over 100 ticket-of-leave men.
These took a great liking for Mr.. JEFF
ferson on account of his rendering of
the character, Bob Briefly, and they
! could not but believe that he was one
of themselves.
In May 1865, Jefferson sailed from
Melbourne for England via Callao and
Panama. Meeting Dion Boucicault in
London, he suggested to the latter that
he work UP the play which later be-
came so indissoluly linked with JEFF
ferson's name, RIP Van Wrinkle"
His own account Of how he hap
pened to hit upon this part is quite
interesting. During the summer Of
1853 he was boarding with his family
at an old Dutch farmhouse in Penn
sylvanias and while there came upon
the Life and Letters of Washington
Irving" and was greatly pleased to
find therein reference to himself by
Irving, who had seen him play Gold
finch in '"The Road to Ruin" at Laura
Keene's Theater This brought to his
mind Irving's Sketch Book and then
rip Van Winkle" The story had al
ready been dramatized two or three
times and had been acted in London
and elsewhere, but with not much sue
cess. Jefferson got together the various
dramatiZations and out of them con-
cccted one which he played in Wash
ington under the management of John
T Raymond. The results were not
satisfactory: but, still believing in the
possibilities of the play, he offered it
as a theme to Boucicault on his arrival
in London. Baucicault rewrote the
drama to about the condition it was
played later with such success and for
so great a time.
It's first performance was at the
Adelphi Theater. where Jefferson then
had an engagement, on Monday, Sep
tember 8. 1865. The play ran 10 nights,
and at the conclusion of his engage
ment Jefferson acted it in Manchester
and Liverpool with like success for a
long time and then sailed for New
York.

HIS GREAT CAPABILITIES.


actor, Jefferson had quite a talent as
a painter. His work was of the i'm
pressionist school and a pleasing re-
minder of that of the celebrated French
artist Carrot
In 1867 Jefferson married his second
wife, Sarah Warren, in Chicago. In
lSS9-90 Jefferson's autobiography was
published in the Century Magazine and
the plain, modest manner in which he
told the story of his life was very
characteristic of the man.
AS an actor Jefferson was remark
able for having departed from the
traditions Of the stage. even in the
performance of such well-known char
acters as Bob Acres, DR.. Pangloss and
others of the old English comedies
and rendering them according to his
own Interpretation. This was at first
regarded as a kind of audacious egot-
ism by the critics. but it took well
with the people. who saw in his inn
presentations new and pleasing revela-
tions that had entirely escaped former
renderers Of the parts. His absolute
truth TO nature was always his most
marked quality. His Asa Trenchard
was q character whose simplicity was
only eQualed by its absolute verify
as a transcription of a certain Amer
lean type. His Rip Van Wrinkle stood
out as one of the most brilliant and
beautiful creations of the stage. Deep
ly pathetic, and at the same time
vivant with a humor peculiarly its
own, this character. as made by JEFF
ferson, claimed the attention and
touched the heart of the American
people more than any other outside
the range Of the Shake kespearean drama.
Joe Jefferson was great actor and,
more than that, great man. He
had a great heart in his breast.

IT'S SUCCESS IN AMERICA.

On September 6, 1866, Jefferson pro-
duced for the first time in America the
Boucicault version of rip Van Win
kle" at the Olympic Theater, New
York, with a support that included
many names that later achieved high
place in the histrionic sky. The play
and "Joe"f Jefferson were at once es-
tabiished in the hearts of American
pIaygoers, and became thereafter the
most taking. card in Jefferson's col
lection. He became so thoroughly iden-
titled with rip Van Winkle' that he
even thought and talked as RIP" off
the stage at times.
Going once to a bank in Louisville,
KY, to cash a check that he had re-
ceived, the teller to whom he was a
stranger refused to pay it unless he
was identified, and asked him If there
was any one near by who knew him.
Jefferson said no and added: If my
dog, Schneider, was here he would
know me-" The money was handed
over without further demur. The teller
had seen Rip day or two before and
heard that memorable plant of the old
man.
rip Van Wrinkle" was played by
jefferson during a period Of thirty-six
years in every city and large town in
the United States and in many of the
cities OF England and Scotland, and
some in Ireland, always drawing large
audiences. 1t is said that Boucicault
received in purchase money and royal
ties for his work on RIP Van Winkle"
over S25, ,0O0
In 1871 Jefferson purchased a planta-
tion on Bayou Teche, louisiana, where
he spent good part of his time during
the winter season; going in the sum-
mer to farm which he had purchased
in New Jersey. OF later years he spent
most of his time on one or the other
places, caring little for the exactions
and excitements of city life. but always
glad to see his friends. whom he enter

one Of the greatest conveniences IN
the modern kitchen is the number OF
shelves made like the leaves of an
old-fashioned table, which hang fiat
against the wall when not in use, but
are held up by a swinging bracket
covered with white oilcloth tackled on
by brass-headed tacks. They are in.
valuable when extra cooking and serv-
ing have to be done.
Fine table linens should be frequent
ly changed in order that hard rub
bing may not be necessary in launder-
ing them, as frequently the cleaning
process is severer than actual wear.
Do you clean the receiver and the
mouthpieee Of the telephone every
week? It really is quite as important
as stirring up the dust under the tables,
especially II several persons use the
phone daily.
Pumpkins and squashes will gems

The Sparks Show.

The Jno H. Sparks Shows gave a
most creditable performance here yes
terday under very disagreeable and un-
propitipus circumstances. The day was
an ideal 10th of May day-a little more
so, About one hour after the main
show began its performance rain began
to fall in torrents, and the tent, though
new one, was net of quality to turn
the rain. Up to the beginning of the
rain the crowd was nicely entertained
by the array of artists Mr.. Sparks
has gathered for this season; and even
while the rain fell they continued to do
their parts admirably, but the crowd
was made so uncomfortable that they
could not enjoy the acts as well as they
could under more pleasant conditions.
The show is an excellent one. There
was not an act that was not first-class,
and we trust that Mr.. Sparks will bring
his show to Tazewell again when the
weather will be more favorable and he
will be certain to receive a cordial re-
ception. Mr.. Charles Sparks, who is
now proprietor of the show, and Mr..
Barney Shea, les special representative,
are both genial gentlemen and made
many friends here.
