The functal of the old actor, James
Lewis, ia thus described by one of his
friends: When the body of James Lewis
arrived at the Little Church Around
the Corner, at 2 o'clock on Sunday af
ternoon, there were hundreds of his pro
fessional brethren gathered at the
churchyard gate. Seldom has the Little
Church held a more representative
assemblage. Doctor Houghton, wear
ing a black beretta, received the body
at the gate, and, proceeded by the
clergy and the honorary pall-bearers,
the precession moved Blowly to the
church door. The bearers were Augus
tin Daly, George Clark, Sol Smith Rus
sell, Dr. Holbrook Curtis, Henry Miller,
John B. Schoeffel, Henry E. Abbey,
John Drew and William Sampson. Fol
lowing the coffin were Mrs. Dara Lewis,
W. T. Perkins, Mrs. G. II. Gilbert, Mrs.
Louisa Eldridge, Mrs. John Drew, sr.,
and Signor Perugini. The ushers were
Herbert Gresham, Sidney Herbert,
Van Rensselaer Wheeler, and Ed
win Stevens, all associates of
Mr. Lewis in the Daly company.
Behind a curtain of palms was the or
chestra of Daly'y Theatre under the
direction of William Withers. Chopin's
funeral march and Handel's Largo wre
played. J. P. Dodd, organist of the
church, rendered the voluntary. The
chancel rail was buried in dowers. The
members of the Daly company, Mr.
Lewis' late associates, sent a broken
wreath of pink and white roses; the
Players' Club, a pillow of whito roses;
Mr. Daly, five palm leaves and a bunch
of lilies of the valley; Mr and Mrs. Dor
ney, a cross of white rosos, and Dr.
James Scott, a bunch of roses. Ada
Rehan sent a wreath of ivy leaves and
orchids, and on the ribbon attached to
it were the words, "In memoriam of a
dear associate.''
Manager Ben Atwell of the William
Owen company, tells this odd story:
"On printing such as ours,'" he says,
"the Canadian duty is about forty per
cent more than the actual value of tho
property and on the American Bide it is
almost as bad. Wo were playing some
border towns and onr agent, after legally
entering his paper iu one big package
at the Canadiah port, crossed bajck on
the Amercian side with enough to lull
one town. To his surprise the American
officials demanded duty. In vain he
declared that it was Amercian printing
and that he was being robbed. The of
ficer; only knew that there was so much
due on the paper. Ho announced his
purpose of turning Canadian and re
nouncing all things American, but the
officers only smiled and ho turned back.
At the Ontario port he was mot with
another demand. To have paid the
tariff again he would have mado it the
most expensive advertising that was
ever posted, and fairly desperate, he
pretended to turn back, and waiting un
til night secured a small boat and rowed
to the Canada shore. He was between
two tires, and it was a case of smugg
ling the paper in or abandoning it, for
he could not land on either side without
being unfairly taxed. When he caiuo
along the officials had the poor agent in
charge for smuggling and it took a vol
umo or two of explanations tDstraighten
the matter out."'
Ellen Terry has b en resting at her
cottage in Winchelsea, whence it is re
ported that her health is much im
proved. Madame Modjeska has six hundred
hives of Italian bees at her estate in
California, and, every avtumn, finds
ready markets for tho choice honey that
the busy insects gather from tho white
sage brushes.
Ignace Paderewski has nearly recov
ered from his recent insomnia, but it is
unlikely that he will attempt any pub
lic performances this season, and his
London engagements have been can
celed already.
Mrs. Potter and Kyrle Bellow are to
present "Charlotte Corday'' before a
London audience. Australian critics
have decided that Bellow's Marat is not
an historically correct impersonation.
Mascagni's latest opera is called "Tho
Japanese Girl," and tho characters arc a
doll, a screen, and a heap of dirt, not to
mention a young couple and an irate
father.
Bull fight? are now regular attractions
at several French resorts as well as in
sunny Spain. Sarah Bernhardt rec
ently viewed the slaughter of five bulls
at San Sebastian, and presented a dia
mond pin to the sanguinary toreador.
