DEATH FOLLOWED
Psarl Hammond Of the Folly Yrim.
 ross Co Suecumsd to Knife

Hartford, Feb 22.-Miss Pearl Hammond, member of the 'Polly Primrose" company. who was operat- cd on for suppurative peritonitis. died at St Francis hospital yesterday Miss Hammond was brought to the hospital from Middletown ten days ago. A consultation of doctors was held Monday afternoon, and as a means of last resort it was decided to operate. Permission was obtained of an aunt. Mrs J. R. McCanri, who was in the city attending her niece and Dr A. J. Wolff performed the opera tion. Miss Hammond rallied some what from the effects of the operation. but the improvement was of short du- ration and late in the afternoon she sank rapidly.
 Miss Hammond was 23 years old. and was a native of Indiana She was the daughter of William and Kasia Hammond. The deceased was brought up by her aunt, Mrs McCann, who with her husband are also members of the Polly Primrose" company Miss Hammond had been on the stage since she was a child, and was rated d clev- CT actress in ingenue parts. She took the part of Angela Gordon in the 'Polly Primrose" production. and did well. The cast of the company was changed considerably when Miss Ham. mond was obliged to leave it.
 Her death in strange city. far from her native state. and solitary grave in Hartford. are a pathetic end ing of career already successful and bright with the eager eXDecta ti6n and hopes for the future that youth and ambition always beStow so lavishly Cn the artistic in mind and soul.

TALMA CLUB MINSTREL $

That the 'Talma clubs political travesty is causing some little talk among public men may easily be in ferred from the statement made ycs- terday by a well Known politician and chlropodist that he would make trouble, and lots of ii. for the cIuh players if they used his name in any play1ul manner. He is said to have stated emphatically that he would sue them for libel. But some men are too sensitive, anyway. The skit De serted at the Altar" will hit a good many men and hit them rather hard too. It will show how the Talma cIub would run the city if they were at the helm. They would give popular cor porations everything they wanted and more, too. The sale of seats went on ut Poli's this morning and there was bigger rush for tickets than the box office at Poli's has seen for some time There is little doubt that the Talmn cub minstrels will play to a capacity house tomorrow evening. Tickets may be exchanged for reserved seats at an extra charge of 21 cents ot tho box office.

The Quest for Gold.

The two young giants performed
wonders in the three weeks which fol
lowed their discovery of gold Glow
ing with health and strength, and in
spired by ambition, they gnawed
ragged holes into the side of the
mountains with their picks and drills.
Several nuggets were found, but these
were of small value compared with
the broad stratum of ore which opened
Burt. The claim chosen by Blake
soon exhausted ITSELF and he turned
his attention to the third, expressing
a fear that he was a 'hoodoo."
but there's luck in odd numbers
says Rory O'Moore," sang Blake as
he poised on shelving ledge and Wig
orously drove crowbar into crew
ice. Ere the sun dropped below the
range he had uncovered another wide,
deep vein of gold-bearing quartz.
The spring rains set in and the
brook became a foaming, laundering
torrent Avalanches tore down the
mountain sides, plowed their way
over the cliff. and. with a roar which
shook the cabin, hurled themselves
into the valley. The pine trees lost
their plumes Of snow, and sang in
higher key the refrain which told of
relief from burdens carried complain
ingly for months.
Piled in gray heaps near the tunnel
was ore worth not less than forty |
thousand dollars. With the flight OF |
the snow and the birth of spring.
Blake wearied OF his task and longed
for its rewards.

these mines. We ought to get BIZ
money for the Sailor, John"
How much?" asked John, after ;
moments pause.
Half a Million" replied Blake posi-
lively, with a loving accent on the
million" Half a million is dead
cheap. Don't you think so, John?"
Il shall not sell my interest-at
least not at present" said John Burt
'and | advise you not to. We can
handle this property without trouble,
and make more in developing it than
by selling it. Besides, doubt if we
can get an offer of half a million"

hopefully. 1.-TWO hundred and fifty
thousand dollars is a lot of money.
would take it in a minute if / could
get it,"
They discussed the matter for
hours, but Blake would not recede
from his position. Dangling before
his eyes was a purse containing two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to
be obtained without further work or
worry. 1t meant pleasure, affluence,
ease, liberty-it was enough. Not so
with John Burt. When the rock
crumbled beneath the first blow of his
pick and the ten pound nugget cleaned
in the shale. he recalled the parting
words of Peter Burt quoting the Ian
guage of Isaiah: 81 will give thee the
treasures of darkness and the hidden
riches of secret places"
"We1l talk no more about this mat
ter tonight, Jim,' he said, when Blake
had finished telling of the great things
which could be accomplished with
quarter of a million dollars. "Ill think
it over for two or three days, and then
Wen take the question up and de-
eide it,
Blake curbed his impotence and |
worked and waited. He knew John |
Burt well enough not to mention the
.opic during the days which followed. |
