LYDIA THOMPSON,
BuRLESQUE ACTRESS, DEAD

Chicago, Nov. 1S-A dispatch from
New York to the Record-Herald, says:
Lydia Thompson, perhaps the most
famous burlesque actress of her time.
died suddenly yesterday at her nome

cablegram to her daughter, Zeffi Til

wife of l.. Il. Woodthorp. stage man

Probably no other woman of the Eng
lish stage, either In the serious or frlN-
olous phases Of the drama. excited
such furore in the United States as
did Lydia Thompson when she first
came here in 1868. Her reputation had
preceded her, however, for she already
had made a triumphal tour OF the chief
capitals of Europe.
Born on February 10, 1896, she first
! earned a reputation as dancer in fairy
spectacIes and burlesques as far back
as 1852 at Her Majesty's Theater, Lon
don
The following year began her dra-
matte career in pantominle at the Hay
market and in 1856 she toured Europe.
where she won such favor that in
may cities she was serenaded and es-
| cOrtcd by tOTCIlilSll PAL ttues.
Her success in this country may be
indicated by the fact that when she
was In Cincinnati even the bootblacks
subscribed their dimes to present sill
yer wreath to her. Although her name
in America has been largely identified
with 'aThe Black Crook" the fact is
that extravaganza was produced here
two years before her first visit. With
her on that visit came Ada Harland,
afterward the wife of Prof. Brande.'

Weber, Alexander Henderson. the man.
ager who afterward married Miss
Thompson and Harry Beckett, actor
and musical director.
Besides those already named there
were several Americans in the cast.
among them Grace Logan and Sol
Smith Russell. The women OF the COM
pany We're dubbed The British
Blondes because they all wore blonde
wigs. and that name stuck to them.
After three years spent in America,
Miss Thompson went back to England
to procure new costumes. On her re-
| turn here she brought with her Rose
Coghlan and Eliza Wethersby, after

In al! Miss Thompson made four
visits to this country. She estimated
that she earned fully s5co,oh1 on her
American tours, but she often said
that she only received about $4,000. be-

FRENCH COMMENT.
Paris, Nov. 1S.-Irhe opinion of the
French press is. divided regarding the
international effect of Emperor Viii
lian's consent to avoid in the future
personal Intervention in the foreign af-
fairs OF the empire. While majority
of the papers consider his majcsty's
assurances beneficial to the country
and victory for the German people
as against personal rule, several of
them and notably the Figaro. express
confidence in the sincerity OF his ma
1esty's pacific intentions. and they re-
call occasions upon which he inter
fered in the interest OF peace. They
believe it unfortunate that this check
upon the Chauvinism of German bu-t
rcaucracy has been removed
