way: Everybody. including the
Secretary Of the Navy and several
admirals, asked me how that could
have happened. / told them. the
problem misth be one which naval
officers could not solve. but It was
very simple for an actor. The
failure Of the Spanish admiral was
entirely due to his not having
rehearsed. Success is Impossible

The older Mrs. John Jacob
Astor, q most accomplished and
cultured lady and one Of the ac-
knowledsed leaders Of New York
society. gave Mr.. Booth a dinner
In honor pf the event. The gather.
ing represented the most eminent
talent of New York in every de.

ties. OF course, Mr.. Booth had
the seat Of honor at, the right Of
the hostess. On the left was .
distinuguished man who had been
. Cabinet minister and a diplo-
mat. During the dinner Mr..
Evarts said to me: II have known
% and 20 all our active lives. He
has been q great success in every
thing he has undertaken, and the
wonder of II IL that II there was
ever an opportunity for him to say
or do the wrong thing he never
failed"
A TERRIBLE BREAK.
Curiously enough, the converse.
tion at the dinner ran upon men
outliving their usefulness and
regulations. Several instances
were cited where q man from the
height Of his fame gradually lived
on and lived out his reputation.
whereupon our diplomat, with his
fatal facility for saying the wrong
thing. broke in by rom .rlting In
q strident voice: 1.-THE most re-
markabls instance OF a man A.
ing was Abraham Lincoln" Then
he went on to explain how he
would have probably lost his piaos
