GEN. GRANT AT HIS HEADQCiR

IA, 1864.

(After the sangunary battle OF Cold
HarbOr, Grant decided to cross the James
river far to Lees right and attack Rich
mond from the south. The phOtogra) h
was taken the day before the entire army
had arrived at the banks OF the james
Tor crossing TO the south side. BY this
move Grant left no opposing force ts-
tween Lee and Washington, but he h, d
so pounded Lee that the latter was In no
shape to take advantage OF the oppor-

can hardly be calculated at this remote
day, but thought of the difficulty and
cost OF transportation in war times
and the maddening slowness Of COM

the Imagination into stirring figures
that are perhaps not far wrong. One
OF Bradys friends said that he spent

out money cheerfully with the firm ex-
pectatlon that his pictures would reap
him fortune. 1t was one Of the
great dlsappointments Of his life that
they did not. Perhaps this was due
to the fact that like many men with
the artistic temperament he never un-
derstood the value of a dollar. He
died in New York a few years ago, =

BURIAL PLACE OF

Writers as a rule represent Peter as
having labored long in the Eternal
City, and there suffered martyrdom.
Roman Catholics look upon Peter as
the FIRST bishop Of Rome and the first
pope. All Rome is now excited by
the uumor that Pope Plus has given
consent to a search for the tomb OF
the Gretily revered saint. The tomb
Is supposed to be concealed in the
vaults under the altar Of the original
basilica of ST. Peters church. built by
Emperor Constantine BOG A. d.
A few years ago Dr. a. S. Barnes,
OF OXFORD university, was granted per-
mission to descend to the memorial
chapel under the altar Of the basilica
and supposedly over the tomb. Dr.
Barnes by sounding located a vault
which he judged to be about Is rect
deep. His search for a door was un-
successful. Regarding the question e.
the entrance TO the tomb, the inyesti-
gator said: 1T is impossible to find
anything more accurately until either
the rurth wall OF the chapel Is taken
down, or, AZ least, excavations are
made In the floor, so as to permit Of
this being examined below the present
floor level, where presumably II Is net

It was OF old. and an excavation could
easily be made without disturbing any

THEATRICAL NOTES
Master Gabriel in Little Jack
HOrner."

Readers of The Times will recall
the hit made here at the close OF last
season by Master Gabriel in Buster
Browns, and will be disappointed to
learn tllst his new play IS a distinct
failure and may be taken off the road
in a short time
The following criticism IS from the
Baltimore (Md) News of Sept. nth:
Master Gabriel appeared in hisnew
play, Little Jack Horner," at Ford's
last night 1t is a musical piece, but
needs many changes and the infusion
OF much brighter material before it
IS likely to prove acceptable to play
goers The book, which is by new
writer's. shows immaturity, and there
is nothing favorable to be said of the
music There are many vaudeville
features introduced. but some OF
these are drawn out to a wearlsome
length. The audience was percept-
IDLY bored.
Master Gabriel himself is clever
and he did all that was possible with
the matter furnished him. but he IS
less conspicuous than he might be;
indeed, during a portion OF the play
he is SO long absent from the stage
that he is for the time forgotten. Al
most the only real fun Master Gabriel
produces is in the scenes With the dog
Spot. played by George Ali, and this
they evolve themselves, and they owe
nothing TO the authors.
