BOOTHS IN HISTORY.
EDWIN'S LIFE WAS CLOUDED BY HIS BROTHER'S CRIME- V'
THE ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN BY J. VVII.KES BOOTH
And How It Chanced the Life
ot
Blameless, but persecuted Brother— The firave of 1. Wilke* Booth In the Valtlmore Cemetery. "Lr "f'
E E E N death of Edwin Booth, the tragedian, recalled one of the most sensational events in the country's history. Yet very little has been said of the assassination of President Lincoln by J. Wilkes Booth, brother of the great actor. In telling"
the story o£ Edwin Booth's life it would be trifling' with history not to refer to the one incident which threw a shadow of gloom over iL Prior to the sad event Booth was a gay and careless younjr man, who only saw the bright side of things. After the assassination of Lincoln he was austere, retiring and moody. Even his most intimate friends rarely saw him smile in after years. All the interest he had in life he gave lo the stage, and at last he fought down the unjust prejudices of so-called Americans who seemed to look upon him as a sort of an accomplice of his brother. The frequent outbursts of ill-feeling pained him deeply,
1
ZX3Z.
JOHN WILKES BOOTH AS MARC ANTONY, but at the same time strengthened his determination to win, and at last when he conquered there was no more in life to interest him. Within the past few years he said he would like to die and there are none who were his intimate friends but who will say he could have lived many years longer had ho not so fervently longed for tbe coming of the messenger. Few know anything about his re iglous belief. His most intimate friend, tliscussing the matter, said the other day:
,4Booth
was a Spiritualist,
and believed he was being assisted by certain friends in the other life. For ton years ho lived more in that other life than in the material. Only when he played his part were all his forces centered on earth. As soon as the curtain would ring down on the last scene his mind would wander into the spirit world again. He prayed earnestly and often, but never went to church and refused to see a preacher when the final summons came. He believed in deeds, not creeds, like many good men who have gono before him, and Yiad no fears of judgment."
I have known Mr. Booth since before the war. His brother, Wilkes, was my particular friend, and it was through liim that I met Ed%vin. At that time 1 lived in Boston^ Edwin did not differ much from ot.h*er young men. He ha^ no §erious vices, nor was he particularly studious. lie worked hard when there was work to be done, and in his idle minutes he associated with boys of kindred tastes. He never was much of a drinker, so far as I ever knew. In those youthful days his favorite tonie was a gin fizz.
I never knew a company with which Booth was connected to meet with a mishap from drink but one. That was, think, in 1^13. when he was playing "Hamlet"' at the Winter Garden Theater, in Xcw York eity. Booth was Hamlet, .John Wilkinson was the King, and a celebrated actress essayed the part of the Queen.
This woman was the greatest of American artis'es. but her appetite for drink was strong. She got a bottle of brandy in her dressing room, and during the second act became overpowered, At the time it was said -that Booth himself was the cause of the curtain suddenly descending.
Booth was the most charitable man the profession has ever known. His private gifts to indigent actors and actresses would foot up to a good-sized ^fortune. I remember one instance that came under my personal observation. Booth was playing in San Francisco, under the manatement of Charle# Thayer. A certain man in hi# company got into trouble and appealed to

At the end of that time I *h»r« of the rtrccfpts was .'or which he rceeir^d a check from Thsver. Be indorsed the e»eck and banded ti to the needy of his company, I with the reqae? u*o what he wanted of it He was a man who did not know the value of money when he had a

Irjeuirm Uistress. I cannot help thinking of a quotation of Wilkes Booth. He was constantly saying, "The man who fired the Ephesian Dome will outlive in memory the ttho built it."
It was 'Friday that Booth assassinated Lincoln. It \va« Friday that Ford's Opera House crumbled to the ground.
Mr. Booth's friends are inclined to doubt the story of the rejection by Edwin of his brother Wdkes's body after the latter had been killed by Sertreant Boston Corbett.
They say that in Green mount Cemetery, near Butimore, Edwin Booth long ago erected a. handsome monument to his father and mother. In this same lot are buried several of his brothers and sisters, who are named on the granite shaft.
There is one unmarked grave near the edge of the lot that is covered by a thick growth of laurel. The other graves are overgrown with ivy. It is strongly suspected that this laurelhidden grave contains
fthe
body of
John Wilkes Booth. It is not generally known that Edwin Booth once saved the life of Robert T. Lincoln, son of the martj'red President. In 187$ John T. Ford, the Baltimore manager, had a traveling theatrical company in the South, of which Mr. Booth was the star.
At Bowling Green, Ky., it happened that Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Booth were waiting for a train. Neither was aware of the other's presence. Air. Lincoln had strayed on a switching track. An engine came along, and he would have undoubtedly been struck and probably killed had not Mr. Booth, with a quick movement, pushed him out of harm's way.
Mr. Lincoln thanked his preserver warmly. Some time elapsed before he discovered the name of the man who had come tt his rescue.
In 1S67 Mr. Booth was presented with what is known as the Hamlet medal. The presentation was made on the stage o• the Winter Garden Theater. One of the donors, ex-Judge Charles P. Daly, acted as one of Mr. Booth's pall-bearers.
The Hamlet medal is one of the treasures of the Players' Club. It is gold, oval in .shape, surrounded by a golden serpent. In the center is thejjl eadjj of Booth as Hamlet. At the to is the Danish crown, from which depend two wreaths of laurel and myrtle. The tiifi from which the medal hangs bears the head of Shakespeare between two Other symbolizing" tragedy and corhedy.
Nowhere is the death of Mr, Bflofch felt so keenly as at the Players' Club. This was not only his creation, but his home, and there the manifold £ood qualities of the man are known by those.who have learned to prize his friendship. In addition to giving the home Mr. Booth also presented the club with his handsome library.
To those who knew Mr. Booth simply as an actor he has left several chapters 'on the drama. While they are several years old, having been printed in 183*5, yet from the fact tliaV they partake largely of the nature of an autobiography will be additionally prized by the lovers of the Booth school.
These literary contributions are devoted to a review of the older Booth and of Edmund Kean. In the latter years of the former's career Edwin was closely connected with him. The younger Booth never saw Kean, and writes of him only from information gathered from his father and mother. He says that while his father and Kean were bitter .enemies for years, yet when the latter paid his last visit to this country the two old actors.em-

LET US BE THANKFUL. An Idiotic ollegrc Society Fa«*ps Out of Extntenrc.
The famous Dickey Society of Harvard College is extinct, and there will be no more burnings of candidate* with lighted cigars, no more freaks blacking baots on Boston streets, no more wealthy sons parading in straw hats and tennis suits and leading poodle dogs on a wintry day. Not only has the Dickey practically taken its own life, but it has placed in jeop ardy the existence of the institute of 1770^ and has widened the* gulf of jealousy between the three most powerful secret organizations at Harvard, the Alpha Delta Phi, Zeta Psi and the Delta Phi. It was simply a matter of internal disorder. Every year just before the class rices ten freshmen are elected to membership To this first ten is given the power, in their sophomore year, of Meeting ten members of this class. Then these twenty members elect ten more of their brethren, and so on until sixty members are on the list. If the first ten are not elected, the others cannot be, and as the Dickey ia a sophomore society, none of the older members can do the business. The first ten have not been elected, and the Dickey is consequently dead. •_

ARTISTIC NOOK.
Soft, Neutral Tints, flaking the Effect Cool and Inviting. Lightness, airiness and comfort are the indispensable characteristics of the parlor in the summer cottage,, The rich, dark colorings or the extreme delicacy which may evince itself with such pleasing results in the city drawing room is quite inharmonious in the modest home.
PARLOR CORNER:
The illustration seen is one corner of a parlor, which may safely be called the most important because'of the comfortable window seat with its luxurious cushions and the magnificent view afforded.
The walls are covered with a soft tone salmon cartridge paper, bordered by a frieze of robin's egg blue in which a graceful arabesque design of bronze is artistically traced. On the walls are choice etchings framed in dark green enamel to match the woodwork of the room.
The floor is covered with a moss green filling, which will agree admirably with the furnishings of the room.
The windows are hung with sash curtains of exposition drapery (a cotton fabric having a crapelike surface) in a pretty shade of salmon pink, arranged on slender brass rods and caught up diagonally under bows of pink satin ribbon. Over the top is gracefully disposed a drapery of the same hung over a brass pole, the ends being drawn through rings. At the center three artistic festoons are formed by the drapery being thrown round the pole. This arrangement is extremely ejleptiye.
The window seat is upholstered in pink cretogne, but jf a mjre elaborate fabric Tie desired French brocade liiity be selected. Carelessly thrown on the seat are two large down pillows of drapery silk, Japanese crape, denim or cretonne, The edges of "one are finished with a moss fringe, while the corners of the other are twisted up to form rosettes.
At ono side of the recess is placed a tufted seat of cretonne daintily draped with green silk cord, and at the other side is tfefc a wicker stool having tnfted cushion, tho bronze of the stool contrasting with tho delicate cretonne. An oriental rug is laid diagonally across the floor.
For Soiled Carpets.
In cleaning a badly soiled carpet great precaution should be used. Brussels tapestries, wiltons or velvet carpets may be cleansed with ox gall, a pint to a pail of water. Use an ordinary scrubbing brush, and afterward the carpet should be vigorously rubbed with a coarse clotlf. Fresh water should be applied. A small portion of the carpet done each day during hot and sultry weather would keep it greatly refreshed in colorings as well as sweet and clean.
A New Fad. .i
Girls with perfumed hair are now the "correct thing." It is difficult to do. Of course the hair must be combed carefully every day. That gives the glossy effect which is so much in vogue, but this is only the start in the perfuming of it. A young lady who has tried it successfully says: "There are ways and ways of perfuming the hair, but I found the best way was to have a mob cap of soft, thin silk made and lined with cotton that had been thickly sprinkied with sachet powder. Now, after weekly shampoos, I wear the cap for an hour and a delicate, indistinct fragrance is imparted to the locks that is the epitome of daintiness."
To Make Good MUushed Potatoes.
Pare the potatoes, put them in boiling water well salted and cover the pot. Allow them to boil steadily until tender. Drain thoroughly when done, sprinkle with a little salt, mash them in the pot with a potato beetle, working in a tablespoonful of butter and enough milk to make the paste soft and flaky.
For Cool Days.
This pretty suit could be made either in white duck, trimmed with galatea, or cream bedford and blue cloth. The anchors should be hand embroidered in white on the blue ground and blue on the white. Several rows of white wash-

or six inches across the front, with Jong stitches on the wrong side and small ones on the right, to make large, coarse gathers of the kind our grandmothers used. Much of the fullness is pushed toward the back, but to give the proper bell-like slope the gathers must be adjusted to the figure when tho skirt ia tried on.
There are three gores on each side, a slightly gored front breadth and a sloping seam in the middle of the back. The trimming is usually put ou the edge if the material of the dress is heavy, but for evening dresses puffs or plain bands are sometimes put on in successive far apart rows as high ps the knee. Some dressmakers line the gored skirt throughout with silk. Others prefer a very light lawn, almost as thin as mull, thinking that a heavier lining injures the set of the goies In any case a facing of crinoline from 7 to 14 inches wide is added to the edge of the skirt.
