to say that Irving English institution
and must be respected as such, although he
could not act, were silenced when they saw him
as Beckett dominating the stage and appealing
with overmastering power to the imagination Of
men AS for the audiences, they could not have
been more profoundly impressed II they had
known that those were his last appearances in
the historic playhouse where Garrick, Mrs Sid
dons, John Kemble and Edmund Kean had done
their greatest work. He seemed to tower in
epical dignity not only above all the figures in
the stage picture but also above all the actors
of the time; and when the curtain was rung
down the spectators sprang to their feet and
paid their homage to genius in frenzy of
emotion and enthusiasm. This was what had
been done on the greatest nights at Drury Lane
when Garrick enacting Hamlet, Lear and
Richard, or Edmund Kean was playing Othelo,
or Macbeth was brought to abrupt close
after the sleep walking scene since the au-
dence shouted for curtain after Mrs. Siddonss
disappearance.
For those who have known Irving intimately
there is neither leisure inclination to speak
of his achievements in stagecraft or the inspira-
ton Of SO forceful and lofty an example Of de-
votion to art They can only recall with afrec-
ton and pathos the unfailing evidences of his
tender consideration for others, his kindness of
heart and his serenity OF spirit Columns are
filled in the newspapers with anecdotes illus
trating his generosity, magnanimity, helpful
and unselfshness. Cab drivers tell Of his
habit Of giving them a sovereign In place Of a
shilling; actors rehearse their business relations
with him. when they invariably received larger
salaries than they had courage to ask for: Mar

Another proof of that fact is the veritable
Byron boom existing in Great Britain.
This boom has moved one commentator to sug-
geSt the publication of portions of an anonymous
French work on the poet brought out in Paris in
1868 This was called Lord Byron, Judge par
les Temoins de Vie and it is mentioned as
containing the best critical estimate Of the
author of ''Childe Harold"
Divers correspondents of Notes and Queries
bring up the question of the source of some of
the descriptions in Charles Reade's magnificent
novel. 1.-THE Cloister and the Hearth one OF
them notes that the account of the German inn
and that of the Burgundian inn in later
chapter should be closely compared with Eras-
mus's colloquy, "Diversoria"-it will be found
that Charles Reade was indebted to this in many
points" More than this. "the shipwreck in
chapter lvif is largely based on Erasmus's 'Nau-
frasium.' There various isolated touches IN
on the ''Colloquies' 1t must be mentioned, for

NORTH CAROLINA sETrLEA
4 ChcclS for 07T.AOO Qotss the Litigation
With the state OF South Dakota.

WARRINGTON, April IA certified check
tor s2I4oo, deposited to-day with Clerk
Mckennis Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States by Attornny-General Gilmer
OF North Carolina, practically closes the
ltlgatio between that Commonwealth
and the State OF South Dakota and will
render unnecessary the sale by auction on
Monday from tho steps Of the Capitol Of
the interest OF North Carolina In the bonds
In dispute.
The bonds arc part Of an issue by the
State In 1899 % aid In the construction Of
the Western Northern Carolina Railroad,
some OF which were settled under the
readiustment Of the States debt. The
holders Of some SOC, 900 worth owned In
New York, however, refused TO oompro-
misc on tho terms offered by the State, and
as an Individual Ia not permitted to sue
State without it's consent they were I'M
able to collect on them.
Accordingly, they donated ten Of the
bonds TO the University Of South Dakota,
State institution, and the authorities Of
that Commonwealth brought suit in the
Supreme Court against North Carolina
TO recover the value Of the bonds and in
terest, amounting In all 10 S27, 400. The
case was twice argued. and finally, by
bench divided 10 4, judgment was rem
dered in favor Of South Dakota.
The decree Of the court provided that
unless the judgment was satisfied by Jan.
the marshal OF the Supreme Court should
sell at auction from the steps at the east
front Of tho Capitol the rights Of North
Carolina In the bonds held by South Da-
kota. As It was necessary TO have the
Legislature make the Appropriation and
action could not be had within the time
fixed the court granted an extension
until the first Monday in April, the North
Carolina lawmakers In the meantime vot-
ing the requisite funds TO satisfy the judg-
ment.
The Legislature also authorized a COM
promise with the holders Of the remaining
bonds outstanding, and an agreement
has been reached with Schafer Bros.
of New York representing all the holders,
whereby they are TO accept S2l5,O00 for
their bonds. The face value Of the bonds
embraced in the compromise, together
with accrued interest, amounted 10 $500 900.
The satisfaction Of the judgment leaves
unsettled the question whether, in view
Of the rules prohibiting the sale Of anything
within the Capitol grounds, the sale by the

Complains OF Minister Powell for Spreading
False Report OF a Revolution.

Complains OF Minister Powell for Spreading
False Report OF a Revolution.
WASHINGTON, April while there may
be no revolution in Hayti as William F.
Powell, the American Minister at Port au
Prince, reported 10 the State Department
there was likely to be, along with a request
for a warship, there is trouble over the
affair in Washington, for J. n. Leger, the
Haytian Minister here, has lodged formal
protest with the State Department against
Minister Powell because he was spreading
false reports about the conditions Of things
In Hayti. Acting Secretary Adee told the
Haytian Minister that MIR. Powell's tele-
gram reporting that there was likely to be
trouble in Hayu was very conservative and
that the erroneous impressions, II there were
any, we're not caused by Minister Powell.
When Minister Powell first telegTaphed
the State Department he said that things
seemed dangerous In Hayti and that be
wanted a warship. This led officers Of the
Government to think that there really was
90 be trouble and no time was lost in order
ing a warship TO Port au Prince. Min
ister Jeger expressed great surprite when
be was Informed that Mr.. Powell lad re-
ported an impending outbreak, and he
tele era Pied his Government about Il.
The President Of Hayti at once officially
denied that there vas 70 be a revC luton
and Minister T. ger carried his message
70 the STATE Department. What effect u
bad Is not known, but no explanation or
further details were asked OF MI Powell.
II was believed as entirely possible that
the revolutionists Of the little republic
had not informed their President Of the
coming attempt to create a row, and that
Mr.. Powell In some way had learned Of II
and sent his report 70 the State Department.
Press reports from Hayti since Mr.. Powell
FIRST communicated with the state Depart
ment indicate that his information was
correct, but Minister LeR-r still hns denial
from HE Government and insists that there
Is nothing doing in revolutionary circles
In Hayti'

PUSHED OFF SUBWAY PLATFORM
Girl Rolled Between Train and EdEe-L4fe
Saved by Her skirts.


Saved by Her skirts.
Miss Isabel Collins, a stenographer, who
lives at 40 Third avenue fell between the
platform Of the Fourteenth street subway
station and moving southbound local
train yesterday morning. She fell only
part Of the way down, was rolled and
dragged twenty feet or more, and escaped
with few bruises and a sprained ankle.
The train had been having trouble with
brakes, and at Fourteenth street all the
passengers were ordered out and the gates
closed. Then one gate was opened to
admit some Of the roads mechanics. The
crowd thought that the train was going to
take on passengers and suTged toward the
gate. Miss Collins was near the edge OF
the platform. The tracks are curved in
this station and there is a considerable
space between trains and the edge OF the
platform In some places. Miss Collins was
forced OF the platform and slipped into
one Of these spaces. Her AkiTts punched
about her hips and prevented her falling
far enough TO be badly crushed, and served
as a padding between her body and the
train and platform.
The train started Just as she fell and she
was slowly turned round and round for
distance Of six or seven yards before the
cars were stopped. A moment more, and
she would have been seriously hurt as the
space she occupied was narrowing rapidly
as the curve Of the track changed.
Women shrieked and few tainted. Az
last, several men, who had been standing
still In horror, rushed to help Miss Collins.
With them was Sergt. Augustus Kuhne OF
the Telegraph Bureau, who was on his way
TO Police Headquarters, and had Just stepped
OF local. He pulled Miss Collins up 70
the platform. She collapsed from shock
and an ambulance was summoned. Before
itarrived, however, she decided TO go homo

Favorable weather for Farm work over
Nearly the Entire Country.
WASHINGTON, April THE monthly re-
view Of crop conditions Issued to-day by
the Weather Bureau says;
Nearly the entire country has eTper-
fenced exceptionally favorable conditions
for farming operations during the month
Of March. The temperatures were mild
throughout the month, with the exception
Of the Lake region, Middle Atlantic States
and New England, where It was cold during
the FIRST half, but mild and favorable during
the second half. Portions Of the Gulf
States suffered from too much rain. and
farm work has been considerably delayed
in the Central and Western portions.
Throughout the Central valleys and gem
orally on the Pacific Coast farm work Is
usually we'll advanced, and, while slow
progress was made IN the Middle Atlantic
States and New England during the fore
part Of the month, operations we're active
during the latter part
winter wheat Is very promising, practi-
oally all reports indicating that this crop
has come through tho winter In unusually
fine condition in the principal winter wheat
States. The outlook on the Pacific Coast

cradle was winter killed.
Good progress was made with seeding OF
spring wheat and oats, the seeding Of oats
being nearly completed in Illinois and
Missouri, and in the more southerly States
the early sown is coming up to good stands.
Spring wheat seeding is usually well adj
vanced over the southern portion Of the
spring wheat region and was in progress
at the close Of the month in the extreme
north portion.
Throughout the central valleys the soil
was in fine condition for ploughing during
most OF the month, and this work Is well
advanced. Some corn has been planted
a. far north as Kansas, Miss ouri, Ten
nessee and North Carolina, while further
south a considerable part Of the crop has
been planted and some Is up.
Reports indicate that peach buds have
been extensively killed In the central val
leys and central Gulf States, but in the
Atlantic coast districts peaches have been
but little injured 30 far. The reports
respecting other fruits are generally
encouraging.
SSome cotton has been planted In Texas
and in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
but practically none elsewhere, and but
little land has been prepared for this crop in
the central districts.
