CLYDE FITCH DEAD.

News comes of the death of Clyde
Fitch, the American playwright, who
was travelling in France, which oc-
Cured at Chalons Sur Marine, Satur-
day night at $50. He was stricken
with appendicitis and died following
an operation. While not a great
dramatist, he was easily one OF the
most prolific of the younger Ameri-
can playwrights and his success asa
producer OF popular plays was mark
ed. And measured by the dollars that
his work yielded there were few who
surpassed him. But better than hay
ing his name enrolled as Il successful
writer of plays or the money that
they yielded him was the pleasure
that they afforded. Clyde Fitch was
born in Elmira, n Y, in 1865, and
was therefore but A years of age.
Millions of people perhaps have
been made to laugh and feel better
by the dramatic productions of Clyde
Fitch. Taking that view of it he
made Others forget dull care-he con-
tributed something to the sum total
of human happiness - and in that
sense he lived not in vain - his life
was a success - playwright though
he was.
AS the Raleigh News and Observer
says:
All theatre goers deplored the
death Of Clyde Fitch, the play wright.
He was not the greatest dramatist,
but he won high place as a writer
and as adding to the effectiveness of
the presentation of the plays. In the
short space of nine years he gave to
writing plays he composed or adapt
ed Sc plays from which he received
ii royalty Of 100000 annually. He
made men and women laugh and
helped to amuse a Woodworking
generation that needed diversion.

Fort Fisher as a Park.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
In Mecklenburg and adjoining
counties there are a number of sur
vivors of the bombardment of Fort
Fisher, and these, as we'll as the peo-
pie of the State, generally, have been
interested in the proposition to con-
vert Fort Fisher into government
park. Some progress has been made
and a favorable sentiment has been
created in Congress- This week there
is to he a reunion of the survivors of
Fort Fisher. of the defenders and the
assailant~, in Utica, n. Y, and at
this reunion, it is expected that plans
for the actual conversion of the fort
into ii national park will be put in
shape. This reunion was arranged
by the four Grand Army posts of
Oneida county, New York, one of
which is composed Of the 117th New
York Volunteers, Fourth Oneida Reg
iment, attached to the first brigade,
of the second division of the Tenth
Army Corps, which took a conspicu-
GUS and gallant part, leading the
main assault on Fort Fisher, Gen.
N. Nj. Curtis commanding the on
slaught, and being known among
his comrades as the "Hero of Fort
Fisher" being the first Union soldier
tOpass through the stockade. LII is to
be hoped that the park project will
be pushed to completion. The per-
petuation of Fort Fishers fame is
greatly to be desired.

The wife of DR.. Cook suddenly finds
herself famous. too. She shows she
is a sensible wife by saying nothing
beyond this word OF rejoicing and
confidence in her husband:

The lot of the wife OF an explorer,
like that of policeman, lis not a
happy one" at best. Mrs. Cook stays
at home and cares for the two girls,
the youngest not remembering that
she ever saw her father. Every night
at bedtime the children have kissed
the low-hung picture OF the father
since he sailed away to the frozen
seas. Those who know Mrs. Cook
say she has had to make sacrifices to
keep her family together, but would
not permit them to be spoken of.
saying her husbands sacrifices far
exceeded those she made. Some
months ago when many feared he
was lost, she tried to raise the money
to send relief expedition. Like her
husband, she does not like much
blowing OF ones horn or sensation
alism.
"lf you would be rich, you must ask
your wife" is ali old saying. 1t is
lucky for DR.. Cook that he has a wife
of the spirit to see him go cheerfully,
though realizing the dangers and
knowing that she and the children
might never see him again. 1t took
courage for DR.. Cook TO go; it took
pluck for the brave wife to stay at
home at wait. But her love gave
her confidence in him and her faith
has been rewarded gloriously.
