Untimely End of a Gentle Soal. [Special Correspondence.] NEW YORK, March B.—When some genius in the art of dramatic differentiation a oocple of generations hence •hall come to write the history of the stage in this country, full and exact justice will perhaps be done to the marvelous ability of Charles Fechter, who, though his triumphs were won principally on the other side of the water, was nevertheless an American actor in the sense that some of the best work of his career wsis done in this country, and his bones rest in a Jittle village in Pennsylvania.

The Great Fecliter.

Fechter was a man of good impulses, but he had a temper which was really uncontrollable. The great actor when suffering from one of these frequent ebullitions ih like a crazy man. He would stop at nothing for the moment, but was

8TAGK MANAGER VINCENT AT THE AGE OF 35. always sorry afterward and willing to repair any mischief ho might havo done. Still, to me ho was a lovable fellow. Boueath his uncouth exterior there beat as true a heart ns man ever carried, and I must admit that I never suffered from his violent temper during my connection with him as the stage manager of several of his most im]ortant productions. His greatest fault, which not even his wannest admirer could fail to observe, was his intolerance.

In the opinion of Fechter, no one who held a different view from him on any matter connected with the stage was entitled to tho slightest consideration, and the temerity of others in differing from him was something which was always a source of genuine surpriso to this peculiar individual. Those who met Fechter in the usual professional way knew practically nothing of the man's character, except perhaps its worst phases, but in my intercourse with him—a necessarily closo one while it lasted—I had the opportunity to study him like a book, which I did, for even his enemies admitted that he was a remarkably interesting figure.

It is not generally known how Fechter was induced to visit this country. Charles Dickens, who was a warm admirer tuid personal friend of the great French actor, had for years been trying to get him to accept one of tho many engagements which wero offered for an American tour. Fqchter, however, for some reason or other, was under the impression that lie would not bo so great a success here as he had been in England, aud every offer was declined. Finally in 1869 Dickens succeeded in inducing Fechter to sign a contract to appear in this country under the management of llarry Palmer, who was a great friend of the novelist I was then the stage manager for the firm of Jarrett 6k Palmer, and I was sent over to arrange the preliminaries for the productions which were to be made in this city. When I arrived in Paris, I hunted up Mr. Fechter, aud ho insisted that his opening in this country should be in the role of Jules Obenreiater in "No Thoroughfare.'' I did not like the selection, but beyond a few mild protests I said nothing. I hurried over to London to see Mr. Dickens, who was as much opposed to Fech tor's choice of an opening play for America as I had been. He communicated with his friend, and it was finally decided that the first bill in New York should be Victor Hugo's romantic drama, "Buy Bias." In this piece Mr. Fechter made his bow to an American audience at Niblo's Garden in this city Jan. 10, 1870, and scored an instantaneous triumph. Despite a few discordant- notes from some of the critics, the people were delighted—electrified.

Dining With Dlckeu*.

Apropos of my consultation with Mr. Dickens concerning Fcchter, a description of the great novelist as a host might be of interest to the thousands of ad-. miners whom he won hi this country. I The fact and result of my visit to Mr. Fechter had been reported at Mr. Dickens' newspaper office in Wellington street, London, and he invited me to go to his home at Gad's Hill, Kent, where he expected Fechter on a visit. Natural-1 ly I was not alow to avail myself of this opportunity. When I reached the place 1 in the afternoon at about 4 o'clock, I found, to my great delight, that Tom Taylor, the author of scorai of really good plays, was also a guest them A dinner for three, plain but well served, lasted from 6 until after 8 o'clock, What "a feast of reason and a flow of «oul" that dinner was for me! I ate lit* tie or nothing, although I was very hun-

gry after the ride on the train and the bustle of a busy day in the city. I shall never forget that occasion. These two brilliant men were in high spirits, and the jests and repartee flew back and forth with bewildering rapidity. What a picturesque figure Dickens made too! He wore a velvet jacket bound with gold braid, a waistcoat of black, bordered with a small gold cord and ornamented with beautifully embossed flowers, and a watch chain of unusually liberal proportions. His scarf of satin was decorated with flowers in much the same manner as the vest. His ruddy face, set off by curly hair, with the stray lock banging down upon his brow, gave him a poetic appearance which was never conveyed by his portraits. After the tablecloth had been removed I was invited to occupy the historic revolving chair, and, snugly ensconced therein, I listened to the discussion between the two great men as to the founding of Punch in Vinegar Yard. I had no idea that the stories I had heard of the remarkably humble origin of the paper which boasted such a list of contributors were true, but it seems they were, "and more, too," as the clown says. That night I was assigned to the formal guest chamber which had been occupied by scores of famous men. Naturally I did not sleep, and next morning I was really sorry when a telegram was received from Fechter saying that he would have to delay his visit to Dickens for a few days, owing to the serious illness of his friend, Frederic le Maitre, the man who, the French people like to assert, was the greatest actor the world ever produced. By the way, I enjoyed the distinction of an introduction to this wonderful player when I returned to Paris a few days later. He was then just passing from the public view, although still performing at the I o.vte St. Martin.

Peculiarities of Genius.

I had a taste of Fechter's stubbornness soon after his arrival iu New York. He decided that "Hamlet" must be the opening bill, but the managers, who were paying him $6,000 a week, objected, and after a wordy war they carried their point, aud the original plan was adhered to. "Hamlet" was given as the last play during hit. engagement and was more praised and condemned than anything the French actor had previously done.

Fechter illustrated strikingly the difference in the methods of preparation for the stage in France and this country. He painted, danced, boxed, designed, fenced, read music at sight, and, in a word, was adept at all the accomplishments which were likely to be of service to an actor. His foreign accent was a drawback to him in this country, but it was minimized by the man's great magnetism while be was on the stage.

I remember how, after the postponement for two nights of one of the plays, a dress rehearsal was called, and because I had provided artificial instead of natural grapes for one of the actors to eat Fechter stopped the proceedings summarily and declared that nothing should be done until the real fruit was provided. And the grapes were got at an expense of just $1.

It is not to be wondered at that Charles Fechter died in poverty. When he played in New York, his apartments, at the best hotel in the city, were sumptuous, and he entertained like an eastern potentate. Nover did a greater spendthrift live. He had no more idea of the value of money than a child, and when ho became poor and retired to a farm in Pennsylvania there were many of his warmest admirers who declared that it would have been better for him had he never visited America. Critics may differ as to the exact place Fechter should occupy with reference to the other great actors of recent years, but they will all agree that the most brilliantly versatile genius that ever came to us from a foreign shore was this same Charles Fechter.

Adelaide Neilson.

"Stay bat a lifctlo. I will come again." LILIAN ADBIJUDE LKB-NKILSON. This was what that magnetic actress, Adelaide Neilson, almost invariably wrote in tho autograph albums of the fiends who pursued her incessantly and would have made life unbearable to one with less amiability. Tho quotation is, of course, from "Romeo and Juliet," which iu her opinion was the grandest play ever written.

Adelaide had married shortly after her great success at the Haymarket theater, London, a Mr. Lee, the son of a clergyman, and Jack Ryder, who had trained the budding genius for the stage, told me in the cafe of the Haymarket one day some of the curious and quaint remarks which his old pupil hhd made about her homo life. My brother Felix I were at the time guests of our old friend, Ned Sothern, and the little episode occurred after one of the latter's performances. Besides our little party there were present at the time the Prince of Wales, who was then known generally as "Mr. Bertie Sothern, Buckstone, Ryder, Chevalier Wyckoff, Lord Southampton, Lord Rosebery, the present earl, and two or three others.

The conversation had drifted to Adelaide Neilson, and Ryder said: "Why, she calls her husband 'the pink of manly babyhood. He is so tender,' she says, 'that I am afraid that he will melt in my presence some day. His good heart and Dolly Spanker ways make me think that Dion Boucicault had a type of Lee in his mind's eye when he wrote "London Assurance."

Miss Neilson was a lovable creature, and there never was an actress in America or England who attained greater popularity. Her supposed gypsy antecedents were noticeable in many little ways. Shewn? excessively superstitious. On one occi^ofi while she was playing under Henry Abbey's management at Booth's theater I received from Mr. Abbey, for temporary storage, a large mirror. 1 directed the carpenters to put it in the office. In so doing they contrived to drop it, and it was smashed into a thousand pieces. An hour later Ado* laide's picture was blown from its fas* tenings in front of the theater and bro-

ken into smithereens. That same evening an ivory backed mirror presented to Mi«g Neilson by the Countess of Warwick years before slipped from her hand in her dressing room and was ruined. Turning to me, the actress observed with an expression closely approaching terror: "Fate, fate, Vincent! Something is going to happen."

Her Untimely End.

Later in the week, during a performance of "Twelfth Night," at the request of Oakes Ames, second, one of the proprietors of the theater, she consented tc have his daughter presented to her. In the course of conversation, without any warning, Miss Neilson fell backward into my arms. It was generally given out at the time that it was a fainting fit, but I and many others knew better. I got some alcohol from the gas man's torch and applied it to the region of the heart. After vigorous rubbings and a glass of wine Miss Neilson was restored sufficiently to be enabled to finish the performance. When she was preparing to go home that evening she observed to me: "Fate again. A repetition of that attack will some day kill me." And, sure enough, it did. One day she was driving in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, when a similar fainting away rendered her unconscious. The physicians treated her far a swoon instead of heart failure, and the career of this beautiful and talented actress was at an end.

Miss Neilson was as accessible as the most humble person in the world. I remember that I was breakfasting with her when an old man was ushered in. He presented a portrait of herself which he had painted and wished her to accept. She took it most graciously, complimented him highly, and then, after a few pleasant words about lack of appreciation of artistic ability, took out a checkbook, and calling a boy sent him to the office for the amount, $100, for which she had written it. This she put into an envelope, with her signature aud a sentiment on a card, and handed all to the artist, who little suspected that the package contained aught of value,

It used to amuse me when Miss Neilson called for Tommy Sheridan, a carpenter at Booth's theater, to "tuck her up" iu the tomb scene when she played Juliet. Tommy was very painstaking in his work, for which he always received a present of $2. She would not allow any one else to do this. I mentioned that fact one evening at the Manhattan club, and Leonard Jerome and Wright Sanford promptly inquired whether -I did not want some volunteers.

Miss Neilson was another of the many generous souls of the stage. At the conclusion of an engagement at a theater she would present a check to every one connected with the stage, from the highest to the lowest. I have still a valuable malacea walking cane for which she paid $65, and after having it suitably inscrili\l presented to me.

Adelaide Neilson was excessively gentle, but she was one of the best business women that ever lived. At her death she was possessed of a considerable fortune, most of which, I believe, she bequeathed to a British admiral to whom she was reported to have been betrothed at the tima Some estimates placed the value of her estate at about $850,000. She probably made money more rapidly and consistently than any foreign player who ever came to this country. L. JOHN VINCENT.

NIAGARA IN WINTER.

Mo lee Bridge This Year—Planning a Ilig Hotel. [Spooial Correspondence.]

NIAGARA FALLS, March 8.—They say Hoyt's comic scng, with its refrain of "I'll never go there any more," did an immense amount of damage to business on the Bowery in New York. In the same way a catch phrase has done Niagara Falls incalculable harm. "As great a thief as a Niagara Falls hackman" has been quoted so often that people who plan to visit the falls are often deterred from staying more than a day, or possibly a few hours, between trains. Travel in this direction is just as great. Niagara is as much a Mecca for the tourist as ever. But it is no longer a summer resort, and this is in spite of the fact that the village has done much to redeem itself from the bad name which it gaiued many years ago. There are honest hackmen in Niagara now. But in these days the principal travel to Niagara is the excursion business. The New York Central had to run its trains in two or three sections on the Saturday before Washington's birthday, and every car was packed. These excursions area boon to the people of the village in winter. They are all that make business for the place, and since the ice bridge failed to form this year there has been nothing but the unfailing attraction of the falling water to draw excursionists here.

It takes a long cold snap to form the ice bridge over the falls. Two or three times this winter it has begun to form, but each time a warm spell has rotted the ice, aud it has been washed over the falls and down the gorge. Once or twice the dashing spray has frozen on the island trees and made a beautiful spectacle. But altogether the winter has been far from lively here.

The opening up of the electric power works and the starting of many new industries promise to give new life to the place within a few years, however. It may not become what it once was—the summer resort of rich, old southern families. The southern families which are old are not rich now, and those which are rich are not old. But it may be made more attractive as a general resort for tourists. Already there is talk of a great-big hotel, one that will rival the florid* hotels in size and beauty. The suggestion that the falls become an American Monte Carlo has been made, but it has not met with much encouragement. Since Saratoga became virtuous, Long Branch is the only gambling place in the north, and there is a demand for more of them. But gambling brings caily a temporary prosperity to a rawat, and it loses more than it gains.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MALL, MARCH 13, 1897.

mik uning.

One of the oloverest business women in town lays it down as a rule to be carefully observed that, while women of leisure may put silk lining in their frocks, its musical rustle is out of place in a business woman's skirt. "The silk lining," says the woman, "is the dividing line between the woman at home the woman in business. The swish and flutter, as you name it, have no place about the business offioe. In fact, the tailor made gown and the fedora hat form the armor of a business woman. In that attire you may call her the new woman if you will She is ready to meet the world on its own ground and will not feel that she is misunderstood. The woman who rustles into a business office, filling the air with the sounds of silken flutter, is more often looked upon by the men she encounter as a diversion. If they have no interest in diversion at that particular moment, they get rid of her and bow her out es soon as possibla If she is dressed too well, the chance is that they regard her as too prosperous for earnest work. If she is shabby or carelessly attired, which is about the same thing, she is branded as inefficient, or she wouldn't be in such apparently reduced circumstances. The tailor made suit, therefore, is the happy medium. If she has good gloves and good shoes, well fitting garments and no silk lining, she is equipped to mec'the world. Silk linings, silk petticoats and ostrich plumes all militate against the success of a woman in the business world."—Detroit News.

A Salt Lake Clubwoman.

One of the most faithful though at the same time the most modest workers in the relief societies of Salt Lake City is Mrs. Lucy Bigelow Young. She is a widow of the late President Brighaiu Young and is a worthy representative of that class of Mormon women, who, bereft in youth of all educational opportunities, are yet refined and intelligent. Her progenitors ^re of genuine New England stock on both sides for as many generations back as there was aNew England—the Bigelows, the Gibuses, the Howes, ihe Richardses and indeH all the old Nnw England names being found in her family record. Mrs. Young has been a very beautiful woman, ana is so still, the silvery white hair, combe over the wide, intelligent brows, aud the still bright blue eyes imparting a fine grace to the regular features. She claims a strong spiritual development, and her gift of "faith," or healing, makes her a prominent figure in every Mormon circle. Mrs. Young has been east twice to attend the family reunions of the Bigelows and has also crossed the Pacific three times to visit her daughter, who spent seme years on the Sandwich Islands. With a gifted mind and considerable executive force, Mrs. YounH has contented herself with using her spare time laboring in the various temples erf "ted by the Latter Day Saints.—New York Tribune.

The Newest Underskirt.

Modistes are making anew style of underskirt to wear with spring costumes and toilets. The skirts are narrowly gored, and at the back an extender, or dress improver, is adjusted that is form ed into three graduated flutes kept in expanding shape by "LaPliante" hoops and narrow steels that come ready made for application. These extenders are fastened to the skirt by means of buttons and buttonholes or tiny buckles and elastic band5?. They are made variously of silk, mohair, sateen, alpaca, moreen, percaline or satin faced English twill, and they are intended to give a oertain new flare and cachet to the back of the fashionable gowns for spring and summer likewise.—New York Post

A plucky Woman.

'Women should not vote because they cannot fight, sounds somewhat familiar. A couple of weeks ago four prisoners were attempting to escape from the Van Wert county jail. They had attacked the deputy sheriff who was in charge and were about to leave, when the sheriff's wife ran into the corridor with two revolvers. One of these she gave to the deputy, and, keeping the other herself, she pointed it at the prisoners and compelled them to return to their cells. She is too weak and nervous to fight, consequently should not be allowed to vote—Lima (O.) Clipper.

Tailor Made Sleeves.

A tailor told a customer the other day what he used for women's sleeves and on which side of the stiffening or no stiffening contest he stood. He said that he put a little box plait of crinoline on each side of the shoulder. This keeps the sleeve from drooping here, and yet it does not give that extremely artificial protrusion which is ugly.

In view of the circumstances it is not sur prising that many in Boston, especially those of the railroad men, who have been familiar both with the individual and the attendant circumstances, should make so much comment on the cure wrought in the case of Mr. James Freeman, for a number of years past employed as a brakeman on the Old Colony Division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. This gentleman had been afflicted with salt-rheum from infancy and his blood had a decided tendency to humors, in addition to which the exposed character of his occupation promoted an aggravated attack of muscular rheumatism which threatened to destroy his usefulness and deprive him of this means of livelihood.

But learning of the remarkable testimony which had been given to the efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People whenever tried for these and kindred difficulties, particularly such as arise from an impoverished or disordered condition of the blood, he was induced to try them, and the result has been so gratifying that he has became a pioneer in recommending them to his fellow workmen, who through his words and the manifest results of his example have shown a co stantly increasing use of the pills.

In view of the degree of attention which the case attracted, particularly in its effect of promoting the use of the pills among men who are not in the habit of taking medicine, the circumstances were deemed worthy of personal investigation, and accordingly a reporter made a call at the cosy home of Mr. Freeman, at 233 Shawmont Avenue, Boston, Mass., where he and his wife were found to be thoroughly free and unreserved in statin^ the facts, and most cordial in appreciation oi the Pink Pills.

A DOUBLE CASE.

Those who have hsd the misfortune to be afflicted with salt-rheum, more especially when it has come in early childhood, can appreciate what it is to doctor for this almost incurable trouble. They almost all testify that they have doctored" for years, aud often with some of the leading physicians, spending large sums of money without obtaining relief. When this is complicated with an attack of rheumatism, especially in the case of a man whose avocation is one that exposes him to it, the serious nature of his physical ills may be imagined, and also the potent efficacy of such a remedy as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which has proved able to conquer such a concensus of bodily problems, and to put the man into a condition of vigor as a substitute for one of a most disheartening outlook.

I have no personal interest in speaking about the matter except that I feel grateful for the cure they have caused, and I think it is only right that I should try and let others have the same opportunity for benefit as myself." In regard to the origin of his use of the Pink Pills he remarked:

I was first led to try them on account of a certificate from a Montreal man which was published in the papers, and I thought the same thing that had done so much for him would help me.

I began to receive benefit from the first time that I took the pills, and I have never known them to fail of doing good. The trouble with a good many people is ihat they think they do everything oy taking the fintt small quantity of any remedy. I ntn not one ot those who are satisfied with that kind of sampling, and when I became satisfied that they were the right thing for me 1 resolved to use them with fullest effect. I soou secured about 25 boxes. I bought them mostly from Janes' Apothecary More on Washington Street One of the first good effects I found was an increase of appetite and the benefit of a general tonic. My blood became purer and better, and the effects of the muscular rheumatism rapidly disappeared. As I took no other medicine thcwLtaln effect must have come from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was so gratified with their effect that I must have bought altogether about eighty boxes.

The result was that I was enabled to attend to my work as a brakeman on the oars which you know requires a pretty freestrength in the arms, and I found my general health and spirits toned up. in the early periods of taking the pills took one ns a close, and latterly I increased to two and then three, the toning effect being all the stronger without any disagreeable effect "I was so pleased with the results of tha Pink Pills in my case that I recommended them to all the railroad men and others within my knowledge that I knew would need their benefit. As a consequence quite a number began their use, and from all that I hear their effects were very satisfactory, so that I. doubt not they would De willing to reinforcemy certificate with their own testimony."

Mr. Freeman's remarks were corroborated at intervals by his wifet who was a participant in the conversation and manifestly shared his genuine enthusiasm for the curative effects of whioh she had been a witnaaa, and for which the name of Dr. Williamsr Pink Pills has become synonymous.
