But who appeared , or how 'twas ' done ,
'f Well , ask some other follow.
I know nn overture was played '

And , later , people cried "Encore 1"
I do not know the reason.
I heard a sweet , entreating voice ,
A stilled shriek , a groan , a
Silence that , I take it , marked
The death of Desdcuiona.
And this was all ; I simply write
These lines ns a reminder
To some one that I lost the play

The Fn < ls of Actors.
Every actor and actress has n failsays
. With Richard

ard Mansfield it is piano players. Clara
Morris loves horses dearly. She owns
a full stable. She is a graceful eques
trienne. Fanny Davenport prizes diamonds
mends and odd bity of jewelry. Edwin
Booth is a collector of rare old 'books.
Henry Irving boasts of his works on
Shakespeare. Mrs. Langtry loves
horses and fine houses. She has 'quite
half a million dollars invested in real
pstato in Now York. She is also fond of
pictures and bric-a-brac. Joe JotTerson

of his house nro covered with rare

Nat Goodwin's first attempt at run
ning a company of his own "was made in
Augusta , Mo. Ho organized his troupe
in Boston and went up to the capital of
the Pine Tree state to play for ono whole
night. Ho thought well of his play and
of his company , and was pretty confi
dent of success , When ho returned to
the "Hub , " howovcrho appeared some
what downcast.
"Well. Nat.how did the audience like

Nat hesitated for a moment nnd then

that it would bo intensely surprising if
the audience could moot them in pro-

Edwin Booth's "Wealth.
Mr. Edwin Booth is probably the
wealthiest of living actors , and , anomal
ous as it may seem , ho is also ono of the
most generous. Added to that , ho has
for the actor nnd the actor's art the
sineercst respect and affection. Ho is
the only American actor , or English ono
cither , of whom wo have nny knowl
edge , who over conceived the idea of
erecting a noble temple of the drama to
the drama. His theatre , on Twenty-
third street. Now York , wns the realiza
tion of this idea , but ho conceived and
builded so spaciously nnd magnificently
as to wreck his fortune , nnd the noblest
of American theatres has passed out of
existence.
Mr. Booth has now conceived nnd is
about carrying out another long and
generously cherished idea ; it id that
of establishing an actors' club. Mr.
Booth has already instructed his agent
to purchase a suitable club house in
Grninmorcy Park , Now York , which
after being fully prepared for occupan
cy , is to bo presented to the selected
representatives of the dramatic profes
sion. In addition , the largo and valua
ble theatrical gallery of portraits which
Mr. Booth has been collecting for
many years , and which has cost a very
largo sum of money , is to bo added to
his gift. An actor so liberal as Mr.
Booth deserves all the success ho has
achieved. _

Among the curiosities recently acqu Ircd by

ornamented with tubes stuck through them.
They are covered with a coarse netting , com
posed of grass and the bark of trees. They

baby , which Is nllvo and well , has two per
fectly formed faces , backing each other. It
frequently cries with ono face whllo tlio
other is ftohsr or laughing. Both faces nro
psrfectly formed In all their features nnd
functions , there being two moths , two noses
nnd four eyes. The throats appear to Join or
run Into one just below the Adam's applo.
The freak has only ono arm , but three legs ,
the extra limb sticking hack llko a kangaroo's
tall and serving us n prop when the baby Is
placed on its feet , At birth the thing weighed
thrco | K > unds , but it now weighs eighteen. It
can take nourishment with either mouth or
both nt the same tlmo from two nurses. The
mother Is u largo , masculine-looking woman.

tno first few days of her sleep her body was
somewhat flushed , her right hand moving as
usual , but her delirious whisperings less fre
quent and scarcely audible. She now lies al
most perfectly still , her arms and logs being
whlto and cold and pulse feeble , being rated ,
in the absence of a chronometer , at sixty-five
beats per minute. Her face Is the only warm
> art of her body , being flushed with ultcrnat-
} n g fever. When BO mo time ago she pre
dicted that she would sleep thirty days and
perhaps longer , she did so without the least
hesitation. She acted like a person who
knew what was about to transpire , uttering
it confidently and with earnest eyes.
