SORROW IS UNIVERSAL
Many Mourn in England Over
Irving's Death.
LAST WORDS ON STAGE
INCIDENTS OF HIS PERFORMANCE
ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
Expressions Of Sympathy From
Theatrical Managers and Pro-
fessional People.

LONDON, October 14-Seldom has the
death of a public in England called
out such universal expression Of sorrow
as has followed the tragically sudden death
of Sir Henry Irving, at Bradford, last
night Appreciations, histories of his ca
reer and stories of his many-sIded activi-
ties fill the newspapers. His last words on
the stage as the curtain was run down on
the death Of Becket-'Into thy hands, oh
Lord! Into thy hands!''-were practically
the last he uttered, as he never spoke after
his collapse In the hall Of the hotel where
he died. Members Of the company now re-
call that Sir Henry showed signs of ex-
haustion and overstrain during the past
week, which did not attract particular at
tention at the time.
During the performance of THE Bells" at
Bradford Thursday the veteran actor de-
livered many passages seated instead of
with his customary freedom of movement
on the stage. Once or twice last night, to-
ward the close Of the performance Sir
Henry was seen to support himself on the
stage, but in response to the recalls of the
audience he appeared before the curtain
and acknowledged the cordiality of his re-
ception.
Flags at Half-Mast.
Flags are half-masted over the town hall
and other public buildings at Bradford to-
day and kilograms are pouring in from all
parts of the country.
In view OF the doctors certificate. the
coroner has decided that an inquest Is not
necessary, and it is expected that the body
will be brought to London tonight. No
definite funeral arrangements have been
made. but the family Is understood to de-
sire to have them as simple as possible
Ellen Terry was greatly distressed at the
news. She said:
Il know all this has happened as he
wished. He worked to the very last in fuIl
possession of his faculties. 1t rejoices me
that he finished his evenings work. His
last words on the stage were:
Through night to light. Into Thy hands
oh God, into Thy hands,
The Wish of His Life.
His last expressed WISH the wish of his
life was for a municipal theater. where
everything would be of the highest order
where the standard of true drama as dis
tinguished from miscellaneous entertain
ment would be successfully upheld.
realization of this wish would be a fitting
monument to him."
Sir Charles Wyndham manager of the
criterion Iheater is taking the Initiative
In summoning a meeting of actors and
managers to decide what action shall he
taken TO perpetrate the memory of the
chief. Suggestions are heard in Soma
quarters that the burial take place in
westminster Abbey, in poets corner where
lie the bodies of Garrick Mrs Siddons and
other theatrical celebrities.

The Cuban minister has received cabIe-
gram from the secretary OF state stating
that the death of Norberto Perez. reported
from Cuba. was due to personal difference
without political character. The dispatch
adds: There is complete order throughout
the island, without the least fears OF dis
turbances on the list OF December. Rumors
regarding pending revolution are without

The Spellbinders at Work.

These sentiments. coming from spellbind-
ers gifted with the powers of oratory, are
listened to with interest, but the supreme
moments in these oratoricaI flights call
forth laughter rather than any expression
of horror from the contemplation of such
awful calamities. There is nothing in the
talk of the men who hear these predictions
after they get out on the street and feel the
fresh air on their faces to indicate that the
impression left on them is in any way diff
ferent from that they receive in seeing a
sensational play at one of the theaters. If
these extreme presentations OF imaginary
dangers do not carry conviction to the class
of people for whom they are given it is dif-
ficult to see how the Poe amendments are
to be ratified But a similar campaign ad-
vanced the plan for disfranchisement to the
point OF ratification.
Democratic Embarrassment.
The most serious embarrassment under
which the democrats are now Iaboring Is
because Of the fact that what is known as
the understanding clause" is being pre-
sented to the foreign element of Baltimore
as means for preventing them, as well as
the colored people, from voting Under this
clause the supervisors will have power to
question all voters to determine whether
they understand the state constitution, and
IL they do not give satisfactory replies their
votes will be thrown out The democrats
franchise this foreign class. but they are
having hard time in getting the issue re-
adjusted in q way to satisfy themselves
that the foreign vote will not be against
them. 1t is that phase of the campaign to
which they are now giving the most -atten-
tion. They are sending out literature in
half dozen languages, in order to reach
the naturalized voters.
While the republican speaking campaign
has not yet got under way, the republicans
are working with energy. They are send
ing out more literature, 1t is declared at the
headquarters of the party, than has ever
been distributed in state election The
"antf-amendment democrats are also ac-
tive, placing their views before the voters
by means of reading notices conspicuously
placed on the first pages of the Baltimore
newspapers. In one instance 160 demo-
cratic lawyers signed a protest against the
ratification of the Poe amendment, and the
morning after democratic meeting the
"anti-amendment democrats sent their
views broadcast to offset the effort of the
meetings q e K

"Our object has been to install thor
oughiy practical system OF business meth
DDS IN the Office. and as model we have taken
the methods In use at the bureau OF in
sular affairs. When the new commission
took charge the affairs of the Office were in
a ddsordered state. In the auditing division
1t was found that the accounts were long
way from being up to date. Bills contract
ed IN the canal zone were left unpaid for
several months. with the result that many
OF the persons to whom these were payable
were charging the government interest.
Under the present system bills are paid of
within ten days after they are presented"
Col Edwards said further that alenough
high salaries had been the rule under the
former administration, the expenses OF the
office had been comparatively moderate.
The annual cost OF running the Office be-
fore the new commissioners assumed
charge was approxims9 9hly $4,000 and
now aggregates about $4,000 yearly.
