PEGGY STEWART AFFAIR.
Baltimorean Insists That Burning O.
Ship Was Not Heroic.

BALTIMORE, November ga stir was
created In educational and historical cir
Giles by the letter of Mr.. Richard D. Fisher
1420 Park avenue, to the school board pro-
testing against the teachers in the schools
being allowed to teach their pupils that the
burning of the Peggy Stewart on October
I'D, 1II4, was an act of patriotism instead
of an outrage and a disgrace, as he main
tains. Mr.. Fisher submitted a number of
letters obtained from the British archives
tending to prove that the burning of the
vessel was an act of lawlessness, absolutely
unwarranted, which inflicted great suffering
on Anthony Stewart. the owner of the
brigantine, whose wife, with her young
child, was i'll at the time.
He said yesterday that he didn't want
anybody to take his opinion of the matter.
but hoped that some historian in the future
who should write a history of MARYLAND.
with an eye to facts rather than romance.
would chronicle the burning of the Peggy
Stewart in it's true light. Mr. Fisher de-
clared that never had he seen such a mass
of evidence to confirm a single statement
as that which has come to him proving
that the burning of the vessel was a dis
grace rather than an heroic act
Much of the trouble. he maintained, was
caused by Turner's celebrated painting In
the court house entitled THE Burning of
was beautiful thing. but that it didn't
combine historical facts. Historical So
cieties and patriotic persons took up the
question. Mr. Fisher said, and made Peggy
| Stewart day time for celebrating when
more properly 1t might be a day of regret
The teachers took up the idea and in
| short while all the children believed that
| the burning of the Peggy Stewart was one
! of the most justifable bonfires ever held
! in this country.
Mr.. Fisher said that he will place the
letters he has pertaining to the event in
| throughout the United States so that his
| torians in the future in treating of the
event will have something accurate on
which to base their statements. For more
| than two years and at much expense he
has been securing these letters from Wash
! ington and London. Having some doubts
about the historians remarks concerning
the destruction of the brig, he decided to
get some accurate data about it. To this
end he began doing research work in the
archives in this country and in London. He
became deeply interested and determined
to carry il to a. finish Mr.. Fisher said he
was surprised to find that instead of being
| a patriotic act the burning of the Peggy
Stewart was a piece of vandalism and
cruelty and would today be vigorously
deprecated by every one. He also said that
any man the least willing to look at mat
| tiers in true light could not but be con-
WINGED on reading the letters and papers
about the incident that the people of Mary
| land are making a great mistake in cele-
brating such an occasion.

BONI WANTS TO ACT.
Thinks His Histrionic Abilities Are
Worth $4,000 a Week.

NEW YORK, November 29.-Lew Fields,
the actor-manager, made public yesterday
a letter received fro;n<C. Maase, New York
manager for H. B. Marineili the we'll
known Partisan vaudeville promoter, in
which it appears that Count Boni de Castel-
lane is looking for theatrical engagement
in America. In his letter Mr.. Maase says:
''The proposition came to US indirectly, but
from source known by our correspondent
to he authoritative and authentic. In sub
stance Count Boni Is not averse to earning
his living through dramatic art, but for
reasons of his social fitness will not accept
any of the numerous offers submitted to
him by Europa managers.
THE negotiations led, however, to the
consideration of an American appearance
and l was advised to canvass the field for
suitable part, etc. Count Boni does not
desire a vaudeville appearance, preferring
a role that will allow of his being an artist
rather than an attraction.
II have submitted to the European agent
a synopsis of the French comedy part
played by your Mr.. Beban as being the best
possible role for the count. If you
think this proposition can be used kindly
let me know at once that 1 may advise my
people by CABLE
Mr.. Fields said that the count would ex-
pect 5000 a week for forty weeks and that
while he would be willing to pay him fair
salary, he could not meet this demand
AT the Marinelli offices in the Holland
building, 10th street and Broadway a rep
resentative of Mr.. Maase said that the firm
was somewhat in doubt as to Count Boni' s
motives in offering to appear on the stage
1t was limited that he might be using the
proposition as a club to effect financial
settlement with the Goulds. In this event
1t Is plain that Marinelli will drop the
whole matter If the count is sincere Mar
inelli will gladly manage him whether he
appears in vaudeville or in the Legitimate"
