A LII Of the great English actors
"A who held the boards during the
last quarter OF the nineteenth century
and made that period famed IN the am
mails of the stage have passed INTO ST.
lence.
The last is Sir Henry. Booth Flor
ence, Murdoch clara Morris, Mccul-
lough jefferson. Mr.. Drew Barratt and
Mrs Gilbert are gone. and now Sir
Henry has played his last role.
There have been some differences OF
opinion as to the acting of Irving. and
certainly his manner did not harmonize
with the forms of elocution that domi-
mated the old American school. But as
an artist. a creator Of great stage pie
lures and the interpreter Of great pas
sions he ranks among the foremost OF
the actors Of the English stage.
Sir Henry has left behind no train o
unseemly escapades. He was a gentle
man Of refined tastes and clean i'm
pulses. as well as a great actor. His
example not only has had the effect o.
lelevating the stage, but Of giving th'
general public saner views regarding It
England mourns the dead actor in al
sincerity. and America too feels a thrill
of sadness at the thought that neve
lagain on this side of the water shal
I've witness his great creations.

PresIden.IaI Lain and Passes.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
The question of what shall be done
in the case Of Presidential travel is
agitating some portions of the press.
The New York sun argues with much
force that Congress should provide by
law Presidents train with liberal
appropriation for its running. This is
CLEARLY the broadest solution of the
question how the President shall be
enabled to visit any part of the coun-
try without receiving favors which. it

The Cost Of Living.

From the Milwaukee sentinel.
Good old Secretary Wilson, Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, steps blithely to
the front to cheer us an up with a pre-
diction of marked decrease ina the cost
of living in tine near future. THAT is inn
lporisnt. if true. and here is about the way
the Secretary figures it out. Grain, es-
pccially corn. is the elementary form Of
nearly an our staple food commodities
meat. dairy products poultry breadstuffs
of course. and dozens of other articles Of
household consumption. In the great
grantry of the country. the Middle West
there is splendid all-round yield Of
grain. which means am abundance and
hence "a reduced cost, of the multiform
articles of food into which grain is di-
lrecily or indirectly transmitted Especially
the enormous crop of corn. used TO fatton
cattle and poultry, and the basic principle
not only of meat but Of eggs and dairy
products, should exercise chcapening
effect on food necessaries of life all along
the line.
Corn is king IN this direction, and scarce
and dear corn means scarcity and dear
ness OF about everything else So with a
bumper crop we are fairly justified i'm ex-
pccting that agreeable decrease in the
cost If living which Secretary Wilson con-
ddcnuy predicts. The Secretary's deduc-
tions are fair and philosophical, he is pre-
sumubly mighty careful this time about
the correctness of his crop statistics, and
It is hoped the peslty trusts will not man
age through some hocus pocus TO get be-
tween the people and the bounty of MAJ
ture indicated by the figures of the De
paitmeut of Agriculture With an album
dance OF the natural elements of all the
food staples, why should scarcity prices
