DEATH IN TERRIBLE SHAPE
One Of the Most Horrible Of All the
Horrible Imasininss Of Edgar
Allan Poe.

The wife of one of the most re.
spected citizens-a lawyer of EN-
inence and a member of congress
was seized by a sudden and unaccount
able illness which completely baffled
the skill of her physicians. After
much suffering she died, or was sup
posed to die For three days the body
was preserved unburied, during which
IT acquired stony rigidity. The flu
neral, in short, was FASTENED on ac.
count of the rapid advance of what
was supposed to be decomposition.
The lady was deposited in her fam
lily vault. which 'or three years was
undisturbed. At the expiration of this
term 1t was opened for the reception
OF a sarcophagus; but, alas how
fearful a shock awaited the husband
VINO personally threw open the door
AS Its portals swung outwardly back,
some white appareled object fell rat
ti1ng within his arms. 1t was the
skeleton of his wife in her yet un-
holdered shroud.
A careful investigation rendered it
e'ioeht that she had revived w1tnln
two days of her entombment, that her
struggles within the coffin had caused
IL to fall from ledge or shelf to the
moor, where 1t was so broken as to
permit her to escape. On the upper
most steps which led down to the
dread chamber was a large fragment
OF comm, with which it seemed that she
mad endeavored to arrest attention
by striking the iron door. While thus
occupied, she probably swooned or
possibly died through sheer terror;
and in falling her shroud became en-
tangled in some iron work which pro-
Jected interiorly. Thus she remained
and thus she rotted erect-Edgar Al.

JEFfERSONS IN
THE henrietta
Brothers Will Be Seen at Auditorium
Tonight in Bronson Towards
Greatest Comedy.

Bronson Towards greatest comedy,
1.-THE Henrietta" in which the Jeffer-
SONS appear here tonight, is deserved
ly great because of the human inter-
est incorporated into a wonderfully
amusing comedy. 1t is an achieve
ment of no mean order to tell story,
filled to the brim with stirring and
fascinating strenuosity Of life on Wall
street, and yet do so in a manner that
cannot fail to appeal to the risibilities
Of even the most sombre-minded. This
is precisely what Mr.. Howard has
done in the case of THE Henrietta"
The two stories-one of supreme
intenseness and we'll worthy of the
heaviest drama settings-and a brill
liant, spontaneous, effervescent mirth-
full tale, are so closely woven that it
would be impossible to separate them
and it is for that reason that THE
Henrietta" is always remembered as
a play satisfying all classes of thea
TRIGGERS. And when presented with
cast of more than ordinary histri-
onic distinction, as it will be by Joseph
and William w. jefferson, and their
efficient company, it is safe to ex-
pect infinitely more than is usually
the case of present day theatricals.
