Booth and Mccullough.
It has been my fortune to encounter
two rather startling coincidents In con-

and John Mccullough.
The night that Edwin Booth died I
was taking supper in the dining room
of the Players club with three friends.
There were no other men I'm the club.
It was about 2 o'clock In the morning.
We, of course, knew that Mr. Booth
was i'll, but his death was not expected
Immediately. While we We're talking
over our meal suddenly every light In
the club went out. My companions be-
gan to call for the waiter and protest
loudly. From the darkness right at
our elbows q voice, that of Mr.. Nc
CONCEAL, the manager Of the club. said:
'Hushi Mr. Booth is dead"
The day Mr.. Mccullough died hap
pened to be studying the play Of "Cym-
beline." was reading the song in
act f.
Fear no more the heat o. the sun
Nor the furious winters RACES.
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages
Golden lads and girls all must
As chimney sweepers come to dust.
