The free markets are supposed TO Be FOR

TWO QUEENS or THE STAGE.
How Lydia Thompson and Pauline Mark
ham Were Revealed 10 New York.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN--Sir: Inc
frst coming OF LYDIA Thompson. with her
company OF British blondes to Amer
tea occurred. as | recall, in 1859, and they
appeared a, Woods Museum. later known
AS Days Theatre at Broadway near
Thlrtieth street, IN "Ixion,' a burlesque
by H. J. Byron.
Lydia Thompson had long been known
IN London rs a clever dancer. who had
gradually come TO acting in short pieces
Introducing her saltations, sailors horn
pipe and such. For many years thereafter
she came regularly to the United States
until she was mere shadow OF her
youthful grace, beauty and blonditude.
Pauline Markham was never In her
company. The latter led the Amazon
march in the BLACK Crook" az Niblo' s
Garden, and the first long run OF that
spectacular piece. modelled on the French
orde~ OF pieces then played at the Chatelet
Theatre In Paris, was over a whole year
before Lydia came.
It was New York's hrst taste OF the
drama OF exposure OF women on a large
scale. and rather shocked the community,
which. however, crowded to see 1t for a
year or more.
Pauline then was a beautiful. stately
young person, and much admired. one
great Shakespearian critic OF the period
went dotty over her. and endowed her
with the phrase velvet voiced in cele-
hration OF the little she had 70 say.
Pauline was credited with many quaint
epigrdms OF her own. Years later she
made a name IN "lGrminie" at the Casino,
which some OF you may remember.

Bishop BURKE of Albany. who died
suddenly on Wednesday, throughout his
long service in his church was great
friend and counsellor of children. When
his duties were most pressing and his
labors most eXhausting he still had
time always TO greet them, and that
he derived moro pleasure from their
society than from that of most grown
ups even his constant courtesy and pa
tience with all never obscured. And
the children loved tho little Bishop. a
fact that proves as conclusively as the
most exactiug can require that besides
being a good churchman he was a

Systematic vs.. Competitive Ath.

Partisans Of college athletics become
impatient when the faulty method Of
excessive exercise is pointed out, and
those who claim conseTvatism in this
regard grow unreasonable when they
encounter opposition. College athletics
has been established so long that ef-
forts TO confine It within moderate I'm.

than with sober discussion.

Of the American Medical Association
calls attention to the fact that protests
are coming from various parts OF the
country setting forth the menace pre-

from severe athletic training during
this adolescent period.
While systematic exercise or pnysl.

denial has been found TO impair keen
