MAY BAR AMERICANS.
Technically May Keep Them From
Competing at Prestwick.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Rumor to the
effect that American entrants may be
barred from the amateur golf tournament
to be held at Prestwick, Great Britain,
this year. is rife in local circles at the
present time. The barring will be done
on the ground Of a technicahty.
The rule abroad is that player, to be
eligible. must be a scratch man or better
at all his clubs for year previous to his
entry. On the other side they handicap
generally from a rather generous bogey
score for the course, while on this side
handicappinG is usually from the strict
par. The result is that a man on this
side getting five to eight strokes on par
could, in most British clubs. be Q scratch
man.

Mark Twain's SeaIskin Coat.

At the time of our first meeting,
which must have been well toward the
winter, Clemens was wearing a seal
skin coat, with the fur out, in the
satisfaction of caprice or the love
of strong effect which he was apt to
indulge through life. With his crest
of dense red hair and the wide sweep
of his flaming mustache Clemens was
not discordantly clothed in that seal
skin coat. which afterward, in spite OF
his own warmth in it, sent the cold

panied it down Broadway and shared
the immense publicity it won him.

Between the aces of fifteen and
eighteen Edwin Booth was almost con.
ttantly the intimate companion of his
flther, Junius Brutus Booth the elder.
Z hat fathers eccentrieities were such
rs to tax even the devotion Of such
It son, but Edwin's affectionate care
/ yer failed. He used to beguile the
I lcedian's time following his arduous
| ,rformances by playing the violin or
f.nging negro ballads, accompanying
Himself on the banjo. Many times he
attended his father on long walks be-
Tween midnight and morning. In 1851,
On a certain night, the father was
hooked to appear as Richard III. at
the National theater, New York. An
hour before the time for the curtain
10 rise he chose to lock himself in a
closet at his hotel and refused every
persuasion his son could offer to keep

Lad flippantly told Edwin to go and
Ect Richard himself. "We'll take him
ut lis word" said the manager. And
tha frightened boy was fastened to
tlc stage and helped into his fathers
Gloster costume, several sizes too big
for him. Members of the company
gave helpful encouragement.
The play opened without an explana-
ton to the audience. When Edwin
made his entrance for the opening solil-
bquy the substitution was Immediate
~ recognized, but so also was the boy,
for Edwin had several times appeared
In lesser parts, notably that of Tressel
In the same play, in which role he
made his very first appearance. The
audience was kindly tolerant for
time, then interested and finally enthu-
kiastic, for Edwin Booth, although only
eighteen years of age, played Richard
Morthily, revealing many flashes of
that brilliant genius that afterward
made him a star of much greater emil
hence than his father had ever achfev-
ed. On the strength Of this success
Edwin Booth was soon engaged by
the manager of Baltimore stock COM
pany to play any part assigned to him
at the enticing salary of SO per week.
Small as that pay was, Edwin Booth
