A THEATRICAL REMINlSCENCE.

In "Masks and Faces" in the Strand
Magazine for April appeared this item:
Blanche and Belle Chapman were
starred from 1868 to 1875 by John L.
Ford. Washington and Baltimore
theatrical manager. The Chapman SIS
tiers were exceedingly popular, espec-
tally in the south, where their annual
visits were notable events.
In May, 1865, l came from New Or
leans to take the position of night editor
of The Baltimore Gazette and little
later Mr.. Ford, who was bringing out
new play at the Holiday Street theater,
sent request to the Gazette for some
one to witness and write-up the play:
Ny regular duties did not call for work
outside, but l had for many years been
theater and opera goer and writer OF
dramatic and musical criticism and was
asked to take the assignment. A card
bearing your name and that OF The
paper, was told was good for admls-
sion TO any place of amusement, but on
going to the theater / found that 1t
meant a rear seat, and had been ac-
customed to sitting well in front. l ask
ed to see the manager, and so met Mr..
Ford, who after giving orders that l was
to have admission to all parts of the
house, took me to his private box, and
then began an acquaintance that con-
tinued until the death of MIR. Ford.
In 1868 this country was invaded by
the so-called ''British Blondes" Lydia
Thompson and her company from Lon
don taking the amusement-loving public
by storm in burlesque. Their success
led to the organization of many local
companies and when Mr.. Ford decided to
to head a company with the Chapman
sisters blanche and Ella, not Belle, as
The Strand has it) he called on me to
help through advance press notices. The
Gazette, and think the other Baltimore
dailies, regulated the space devoted to
the theaters by the size of their adver-
tisements, but I had been allowed to
make some innovations in handling copy
and was given practically a free rein IN
presenting the attractive Chapman sis
tiers to the theater-going public. When
they were ready to start on their star
ring tour Mr.. Ford distributed an illus
trated four. page circular the reading
matter of which was almost wholly from
the columns of The Gazette.
Some years later Mr.. Ford built Ford's
Opera House in another part of the city
and the Democratic convention OF July
9, 1872, that nominated Horace Greeley
for president, met there and l reported
the convention for the American Press
association, then a rival of the Assocl-
ated Press, and from my seat on the
platform facing the delegates recall
seeing the Maine delegation with Hon.
Eben F. Pillsbury at its head, and at the
table with me was Theodore Tilton, who
after the Beecher- Tilton scandal went
to Paris, France, and died there. 1t
does not seem so very long ago, but OF
those who reported or were prominent
in this convention few are living today.

as now applies in the Revenue Cutter
service and in the army and navy. The
bill provides that keepers OF the life save
ing stations shall be warrant officers and
that number l surfmen shall be petty
officers.
Capt Sumner l. Kimball, virtually the
father of the life saving service and for
many years it's general superintendent
here in Washington, is Name man,
native of Sanford. The bill, If made
law. would retire him on three -fourths OF
his present salary of s., 500 year. This
would be in recognition of the great ser
vice Capt. Kimball has rendered in de-
yelopine the life saving service and in
maintaining its remarkable efficiency.
Furthermore the law would make Capt.
,Kimball the last general superintendent
and would transfer his duties to officers
of the Revenue Cutter service, who
would be known as Coast Guard officers.
The surfmen of the life saving service,
including those on the Maine coast, would
have the privilege, after thirty years OF
service, of retiring on three-fourths pay.
They would be credited with the time
they have been employed as civilians and
given other advantages in the way OF
compensation. They would also have
allowances for uniforms, as well as allow
ances and gratuities due to enlisted men
of the other services of the United
