$500 watch and chain. Three years later in 1868 she appeared in New York again, in a record breaking en- gagement at Wallack's Theatre when she played with John Brougham in his adoption from Dickens "Old Cur iosity Shop" under the title of "Lit- tie Nell, the Marchioness," both of which roles Lotta played with remark able success. Brougham epitomized her stage work by calling Lotta 'the dramatic cocktail" She was, in the eyes of her admirers, altogether ini- mitable, although she had imitators by the score. A vivacious little crea- ture, full of inexhaustable ebullitions of animal spirits and droll character, she gave free rein to her acting with out falling into coarseness. There was roughishness of innocent child hood about her which was perhaps the most winning quality of her acting. | On one occasion at Wallack's, while Lotta was playing the banjo, cat darted across the stage. With al most childish wonderment, Lotta cried out: "Why, look at that big cat!" and then, as if suddenly remembering where she was, went on strumming, to the vociferous delight of the audience which incation seemed to please her all the more. It was in such glee and pleasure that Lotta won her way.
 In the "Firefly," "Topsy," "Mu- sette," "Bob,' "Nitouche" and "The Little Detective" Lotta scored some of her greatest triumphs, although she appeared in large number of other plays of the light-comedy vari- ety.
 In London she met with such cold reception, on her first visit, that she never ventured abroad second time.
 Together with the fortune she made on the stage, the actress added to her wealth by shrewd investments in real estate in many cities, and by buying race horses with which she won large stakes at harness meetings. She was the owner of My Star, 2:03 3-4, once worlds champion green pacer, which died in 1909, and a string of other horses which were in charge of her brother, Jack Crabtree, at stables near Boston.
 Since her retirement in 1891, Miss Crahtree made her home in New Yo'k, California, ard Boston.

Says Spaniards
Will Not Tolerate
Return Old Regime

Paris, Nov. 17.-(By A. P.)-If
and when King Alfonso of Spain de-
cides on return to a constitutional
government to replace the military
directorate under General Brine
Rivera, he will not find "ene single
politically solvent statesman" who
will consent to accept powers at his
hands, according to Santiago Alba,
former Spanish foreign minister. in
an interview today. Senior Alba fled
from Spain shortly before General
Primo Rivera's coup d'etat in Sep
TENDER of last year.
Senior Alba further expressed the
belief that the Spanish army will
not submit to being compromised by
the sinister collapse of ambitious
vulgarians like General Miguel Primo
Rivera" but like the army in the
time of the revolution in 1S6S, will
again respond to it's tradition of
fraternity with the people"
The former minister said that "the
directorate feels that the entire opin-
ion of the country, including that of
these who believed in the director
ate in its early days, IS frankly
against Primo Rivera and his ac-
completes
Speaking of the recent repression
Of the outbreaks in Barcelona and
the communicating of syndicalists
who were attempting to rush across
the border, Senior Alba said:
History always has found 1t diff
f1cult to harmonize terror with JUS
tice. The inQuisition offered a guar
antce OF respect for law much super
Tor to that of the group Of mediocre
generals who make us blush before
the entire world"
