depth of intuition, and on the other a
genial, sunny disposition, scintillating
with wit. Perhaps the two belong to-
gether in a healthy mind, but I never
saw them so beautifully blended as in

His sympathies were very broad and
! his charity not less so; always enlisted
for the frailities and weaknesses of
others, especially those with whom his
profession brought him in contact. 1t
/ is safe to say that no man of his time
so touched the heart of a wide and dis
eliminating public; this affection for
him had a spiritual source; it was in
response to that which shone out from
the man, whether off or on the stage;
it is the secret of certain kind of uni
versatility of interest which receives in

PLANTATION.
jefferson was an idealist of a fine
type; the world beyond the senses was
not less real to him than that which
pressed in upon the sight and touch,
and he thought it the true function of
art to realize the unseen. He said to
me once that he did not like any kind
of art that had no insdes-speaking of
painting and acting.
He was an all-round artist in his
way His temperament would have
made him a good painter had he been
obliged to take to it seriously and
secured the requisite training. Not the
least of his varied talent, by any
means, was that sudden burst of liter
ary power shown in his autobiography,
in which there are, passages of surpris-
ing merit, and wholly without those
preparations usually deemed essential.
In conversation 1t was not less so-a
quick discernment that detects the
essence of the matter discussed. with
vast store to draw upon for illustration
from his own experiences of men and
things.

charm of manner made his presence in

A Scholars Tribute
BY PROF. JOHN f. WEIR


The death of Joseph Jefferson re-
moves from the common walks of life
though not from the memory of those
who knew him, one of the most dis
tinguished personalities of the time
A friendship extending over many
years has left the impression that JEFF
ferson's genius as an actor was but
incidental to his character and per-
sonality as a man. His mind was ac-
tive i'm many directions. The windows
of his soul were wide open. The sim
cerity and depth of his nature en-
deared him to those who enjoyed his
friendship. The announcement of his
death will touch many hearts, even
those of the thousands who only knew
him as he appeared upon the stage
when contributing to their pleasure
and playing upon the emotions of the
hour Two sides of his character were
in evidence in his intercourse with
others not alone with friends; an the

GRAND OPERA HOUSE-"Confes-
sons of Wife" will be the melodrama
with which the Ulrich stock company
will endeavor this week to sustain their
reputation of giving Grand Opera house
audiences what the aforesaid audiences
appear to desire, namely, something
with a lot of dash, a good deal of SEN
sation, a strong vein of comedy and
rapid action, with rousing climax in
every act. This piece has a goodiy
new ideas in scenic effects.
BURBANK THEATER-The Bur-
bank Stock company will this week
present Neil Burgess world-famous
comedy, 1.-The County Fair" One of the
strongest features of the drama is the
horse race scene showing a half dozen
frantic race horses at the start, at the
quarter, the half and then in the home
stretch. This one effect has occupied
the time of Manager Morosco and his
stage manager for several weeks. The
cast is a long one, full of good charac

are unlimited. The usual matinees will
be given this afternoon and next Sat
urday.
THE CHUTES-Today at the Chutes
one of the most diversified programs
ever given by that amusement park
will be presented to its public. The
features will be a special concert by the
Donatelli band, some thrilling new cycle
acts by the Zarrows, a high balloon
ascension, and the coasting of the
chutes on bicycle. Donatelli for the
past few weeks has been arduously at
work preparing new programs of mag
nifoent music, and a new list of classic

Moons matinee. The Zarrows, who
without doubt are at the head Of their
class in the production Of thrilling new
cycle sensations. will do their '1eaping-
the-gap" act, which is a greater risk
than the looping Of the loop, as II in
wolves hazardous plunge over a
chasm Of air, and will add to this the
cycle-dazzle and one or two other bicy-
Gle performances whose spectacular
features are enhanced by danger. A
high balloon ascension will be attempts
ed, as last Sunday, and without doubt
will succeed.
FISCHER'S THEATER-"1n Gay

It appears the trouble started a few days ago while crossing the ferry, and all parties met this morning and being intoxicated re- newed the difficulty when Huffman drew a revolver and began shooting. The first shot took effect in the chest of Gilbert Long who fell dead, and as Tom Smith had drawn q revolver and was in the act of using it on his as- sailant, Huffman proved to quick for him and got the first shot which took effect in the bowels.
