If Ba
it if 4
Norton is very cnthufclnstio about Ids
project, nd In conversation recently
with Louis Aldrich indulged in mnuy
romltriscenceH of his horo. Ono mtttunl
recollection which thoy had I will rcpro
duco hero:
Many yeai-s ngo, when Davenport wns
a member of ono of tho Boston stock
comiwmioH, nt tho closo of tho season ho
joined with n number of his follow act
ors and actresses (who woro engaged in
othor orgnniwitiotiH playing at tlio Hub)
in wlint was thou known ns n "snap"
company, meaning thoroby a eort of co
operative dramntlo organization which
during tho idlo summer season traveled
from town to town and divided whnt
ovor profits might accrue. This partic
ular company included, besides D.ivon
port, such now famous iiooplo ns Frank
Mayo, Agnes Perry sho Ih now Airs.
Agnes lJooth and tho lending liwly of tlio
Justly famous Madison Squnro Thentro
companyLouis Aldrich nnd John W.
Norton. Thoy played through tho east
cm towns, but, tho tour being decidedly
unsuccessful, decided to disband after
filling nu engagement of threo nights in
a certain Massachusetts town.
When thoy reached that city thoy woro
quartered ut a hotol which adjoined tho
email thentro in which thoy woro to ap
pear, both being owned by tho snmo man
nnd botli being equally dirty. This hotel,
howover, lured traveling players to its
embraco by tho ensnaring suggestion
that thoy could wnlk directly from their
hotel apartment through a private pas
sageway into tho thentro dressing room.
After tho members of tho "snap" com
pany had ntteinpted to pnrtnkoof tholr
first meal in tho hotel thoy waited ujkmi
tho landlord in n body and demanded
that thoy bo given cdiblo food, to which
tho bonifaco independently responded
thnt if thoy did not liko what wns fur
nished thorn thoy could go clsowhoro.
Aldrich, Davenport nnd Norton nctod
upon this dolicato hint, nnd with carpet
sacks in hand walked down tlio street
to tho opposition houw sovcrnl blocks
away.
Tho last night of tho Lowell engage
ment tho bill compriso.1 "Tho Stranger,"
in which Agues Perry took tho part of
Mrs. Hallor, and Frank Mnyo essnyed
tho role of tho somber Stranger. This
was to bo followed by tho farcical
"Block Eyed Susan," in which Louis
Aldrich was cast for tho Admiral, John
W. Norton for Cnpt. Crosstrco, and Mr.
Davenport, of course, for William. In
tho lattor play, as every ono who lias
seen it will remombor, William is found
guilty of striking Crosstreo, nnd tho Ad
miral sentences him to bo hanged from
tho yard arm, concluding with tho sol
emn words, "and inny God have mercy
on your soul." Upon this particular oc
casion Louis Aldrich spied sitting in tho
front row of tho thentro tho lnudlord of
tho hotel, accompanied by his threo
buxom daughters, till evidently pleased
with tho play nnd with themselves.
Aldrich'a soul thirsted for rovengo.
Whon tho sentonco of poor William had
to bo pronounced tho woids of tho play
woro subjected to a most remnrkablo
change. "I sentonco yon," said tho Ad
miral, "to board at tho houso for
two weeks, nnd may God havo moroy on
you." Davenport at first looked stunned,
and then gavo ono wild, delirious shriek
of laughter; tho landlord nnd his daugh
ters sprang to their feot nnd rushed from
tho place, while tho entiro nudienco held
ita sidea nnd itched with laughter.

l'till Arr.xmr nnd tho Ilii,ortir.
Chicago, May 15. When you have
paid your respects to tho wheat pit from
tho gallery or tlio board or trauo which
no properly constructed visitor to tho
big city by tho lnko neglects to do and
havo strolled up tho west side of La Salle
streot ton point opposite tho main en
trance, of the big insurnnco building,
your attention suddenly becomes fixed
on nnother of tho recognized "sights" of
Chicago. What first catches your oyo is
an immenso bouquet of brilliant hot
houso flowers resting on tho center of u
largo flat topped desk in plain viow be
hind tho biggcst-plnto glass window in
tho building.
Then you observo that this desk, the
llowers and a heavy built man, whoso
broad, pleasant, smooth shaven face is
almost buried in tho fragrant blobsoms
as ho examines pages of memoranda that
clerks arc constantly placing beforo him,
nro a sort of n vortex into wlilclvuro be
ing drawn business operations of nlmost
incalculable magnitude. Tho intense
yet orderly activity of tho scores of liook
keepers, clorks, telegraph operators, typo
writers nnd messengers, who. aro also in
plain viow from whoro you stand, im
press you with tho certainty thnt somo
much more vital, taugiblo interest than
tho collection of "margins" or tho buy
ing- nnd selling of "futures" is controlled
by tho hoavy built witn who works ns
with hia fnco buriod in n bdwer of roses.
And you aro right, for the man is
Philip D. Armour, who may almost be
said to hold in tho hollow of his hand
tho provision trado of tho two conti
nents. Armour's ennned beef is eaten
by British soldiers in Egypt nnd Russian
soldiers in Siberia. His dressed meats
nro Bold in every town in America nnd
in most of tho cities of Europo. Tho
natrteo on his pay roll, and of thoso who
live by his Indubtry, would fill ono of the
largest city directories published. Every
body has heard how his gifts to his em
ployes nnd to charltnblo concorns amount
to 9, snug fortuno every year.
Now if you havo business with tho
boi'se of Armour & Co. if yon want to
buy 10,000 barrels of pork don't flatter
yourself that ho is going to spend tho
day talking it over with you. Whilo
yon tire placing your small item with
ono of tho clorks Mr. Armour, with his
nose among tho flowers, is reading n
cable message from Berlin asking
whether lie will feed tho German army
this year on tho same terms as last year.
But if you uro a newspaper man oven
quite un humble reporter you may
march right up to his desk and smell of
the flowers, and it is mow than likely
that ho will shako hand and uddrcss
yon ns "Mr. Modill" or "Mr. Scott," ao
uydlng to whethor you como from The
Tribune or Tho Herald.
